[Oh right... Gene can teleport. Sokka almost facefaults all over again except he certainly remembers that that was a thing that was already mentioned... at least a half hour ago. Still, that someone could do that still was incredibly impressive!]
Well yeah. The plan was going to be flawless. You see, I had this great piece of intel that we found out from this one secret library under the control of this giant spirit owl. [Pause for effect. Yeah, that's right. Giant spirit owl.] Anyway, we found out that there was going to be a solar eclipse smack dab in the middle of summer, and just like how the moon influences waterbending, the sun influences firebending! So solar eclipse? No firebending!! So I figured out that we had to invade on that day, since... well... not long after that, a comet would come to our world which would supercharge all the firebenders' powers for a day, letting them pretty much burn everything to the ground.
So anyway... with the help of a mechanical genius, we created the world's first submarines to sneak as close to the capital city as we could undetected. We'd breach the beaches of the city so that we could hold it while Aang was supposed to fight the Fire Lord one-on-one, all before the moment of the actual eclipse.
But because they knew of the plan, the Fire Lord was nowhere to be found. Instead, we found Zuko's crazy sister. And... well, she pretty much consumed all the time we had to dispatch the Fire Lord.
[He shrugs.]
A lot of people mostly managed to escape to safety, though some got captured in the process. At least we end up getting him in the end, even if that hasn't quite happened for me.
