This page covers the events and interactions in the "Shen Guan" sub-region of the Mo Ce Sea region in Avatar: Generations.

Main storyline

	The mission begins at the Stonecraft Overpass.
Aang	*Yawn* Hey Katara, whatcha doing?
Katara	Good morning. I'm just practicing my waterbending while Sokka is away foraging. I want to get better at freezing water.
Aang	That's great! Then we could have shaved ice whenever we want!
Katara	Hahaha! Thanks.
Sokka	Guys, come quick! I found someone! He's injured.
Katara	[Concerned.] What happened? Who is he?
Earth Kingdom Soldier	I'm a soldier for the Earth Kingdom army and our garrison is under attack by the Fire Nation. I was supposed to go get help and return, but I was ambushed. By the time, I find anyone it'll already be too late for the garrison.
Sokka	I think we should help fight against the Fire Nation.
Sokka	I think we should help too, but we need to be careful.
Sokka	Aang is the Avatar. He is going to have to face the Fire Nation like this eventually.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	The Avatar... Huh, there may be some hope yet...
Aang	[Happily.] Well, if no one is against us helping, let's do it then.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	You can find the garrison that way, follow the smoke... and thank you.
	As Team Avatar approaches the fortress of Shen Guan, a discussion between the local Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom commanders is already under way at its walls.
Masaru	Captain Boqin, surrender now! You have no chance against my forces. It's only a matter of time till we take this fortress, and then Omashu!
Boqin	Ha! The only reason you're trying to get us to surrender is because you know you can't take the Garrison.
Masaru	You are gravely mistaken.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	[In panic.] Captain Boqin, sir, the surrounding camps are under siege.
Masaru	Surrender, fool, before your troops pay the price for your arrogance!
Boqin	Ergh!
	[Narration: Aang soars over with his glider and lands before Captain Boqin.]
Boqin	What do you think you're doing, kid?!
Aang	I-I'm here to help.
Boqin	Get out of here. This is no place for a child.
Aang	But-
Boqin	Leave!
	[Narration: Aang glides back to Sokka and Katara, and explains the siatuation.]
Aang	[Dejected.] The captain is too stubborn to let us help.
Sokka	Hmm. That may be so, but who says we need his permission to help?
Katara	That's right. We could just help the other camps first and prove to the Captain that we can aid them.
Aang	Sounds like a good plan. Let's do it!
	The group can now venture to four different locations around the fortress.
Sokka	[Team Avatar approaches Carrier's Channel.] Looks like a lot of Fire Nation soldiers on the other side of the ravine guarding a bunch of boxes.
Katara	Those boxes are probably full of supplies that could help the Earth Kingdom. [ They come closer, and discover a tundra tank.] Whoa! What is that big metal thing? It looks dangerous.
Sokka	Whatever it is, we should keep our distance until we find a way to deal with it.
Aang	Perhaps a solution lies elsewhere?
	The group moves to Prospector's Path.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	What?! How did you kids get out here?
Aang	Uhh... Well, we rode my flying bison, Appa, and--
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Flying bison? Is this a trick?
Aang	Yes- No- I-I mean--
Earth Kingdom Soldier	They're spies! Attack!
	The Earth Kingdom soldiers attack Team Avatar.
Aang	Oh, monkey feathers. I think I messed up.
Sokka	Ya think?!
	Team Avatar defeats the Earth Kingdom soldiers.
Katara	Um... I think we should work on our introductions in the future.
Sokka	Ya *huff* think? *huff*
Katara	[Angrily.] Not helpful, Sokka!
Aang	[Addressing the soldier.] Hey, sorry about that, but you guys did try to attack us.
Earth kingdom Soldier	... Fair point. So you're not a spy?
Aang	Nope.
Earth kingdom Soldier	And you rode a flying bison here?
Aang	Yep.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Huh... interesting. So, can you guys defeat the Fire Nation trops up at the mines? We would do it ourselves, but well... we need to recover.
Aang	I guess we could do that. Sorry again.
Sokka	[As Team Avatar approaches the coal mine.] Shush. Get down. Fire Nation up ahead. Hmm... I wonder what they're doing?
Spear Soldier	[Addressing his officer nearby.] Hey, boss. Sorry! I'm new here. What are we doing again?
Masked Soldier	*sigh* We're gathering coal to help supply the siege weapon over at Bedrock Bluff.
Sokka	Huh, convenient.
Masked Soldier	WHO SAID THAT? EVERYONE ATTACK WHOEVER IS BEHIND THAT BUSH!
Sokka	Oh, c'mon.
	A battle begins.
Katara	[Addressing Sokka.] Why did you open your big mouth?
Katara	... My mouth isn't that big!
	Team Avatar defeats the Fire Nation soldiers.
Spear Soldier	Retreat!
Masked Soldier	Hey! That's not your call to make, new guy!
Spear Soldier	Sorry, sir.
Masked Soldier	... Alright. Well... Everyone, RETREAT!
Sokka	Let's have a look around and see if we can find anything helpful against the Fire Nation. [As he searches.] ...battle plans... secret documents... anything like that could be really useful.
Aang	What about this key thing?
Katara	Doesn't look like a normal key for a door.
Sokka	Let's keep it. At the very least, a missing key should cause a inconvience for the Fire Nation.
	The group moves to Bedrock Buff.
	[Narration: As Team avatar gets closer to the Fire Nation siege weapon, they hear shouting.]
Masked Soldier	How could you lose the Release Key?!
Spear Soldier	I-I don't know, sir. I swear I had it when I was over at the coal mine.
Masked Soldier	I should roast you like a komodo sausage for your incompetence!
	[Narration: Sokka's stomach loudly grumbles.]
Spear Soldier	Oh! Did you hear that, sir? Could be something that needs your immediate attention!
	The Fire Nation troops attack Team Avatar.
Masked Soldier	Found ya! Get them!
Sokka	Why have you betrayed me, stomach!?
	Team Avatar defeats the Fire Nation soldiers.
Masked Soldier	Ergh! Retreat!
Sokka	Hmm... That siege weapon gives me an idea, but how to operate it, I wonder? They mentioned a key earlier... I think the key... goes here!
	[Narration: The Metal Key then clinks into place.]
Sokka	Aha! I'm a genius!
Aang	Great job, Sokka!
Katara	Okay, genius... Care to explain your brilliant plan?
Sokka	Soon, soon. All will be revealed. Help me adjust and aim this thing.
Katara	Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Sokka	Trust me. And please help. This thing is tough to move.
	As Team Avatar adjusts the siege weapon, it shoots a projectile at Carrier's Channel, destroying the local bridge and the tundra tank on it.
Katara	Ah! Why did you fire it? We weren't ready?!
Sokka	Okay... To be fair, launching it early was an accident, but... behold my brilliance!
Aang	Oh, wow! You hit that big metal thing!
Sokka	Thank you, thank--
Aang	Oh, and the bridge... the bridge is gone.
Sokka	Oh... Oops.
	Team Avatar moves to Rumblewood Thicket.
Sokka	Earth Kingdom soldiers! Okay team, let me handle the talking.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Who are you?! Answer the question!
Sokka	Well, first off I'm a warrior, and--
Earth Kingdom Soldier	ENEMY WARRIORS! ATTACK!
	The Earth Kingdom soldiers attack Team Avatar.
Katara	Real smooth, Sokka!
Sokka	Not helping!
	Team Avatar defeats the Earth Kingdom soldiers.
Katara	Sorry to have to do that. Are you guys alright?
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Why would you care?
Sokka	Oh for-- We're not your enemioes... or Fire Nation!
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Oh really? So why are you trying to attack the infirmary?
Aang	That's terrible! Why would we attack injured soldiers?
Earth Kingdom Soldier	I don't know. Why would you?
Sokka	Okay, I'm done talking to these guys. Let's go.
	Team Avatar moves on, arriving at the infirmary.
Katara	[Addressing Sokka.] This time, let me talk.
Sokka	Fine. Just be careful and don't get too close. Maybe try shouting from a distance?
Katara	I said, I got it. [Addressing the soldiers at the infirmary.] HELLO! WE'RE HERE TO HELP! WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR INJURED!
Earth Kingdom Soldier	[Addressing his comrades.] What is she saying? Something about "taking care of our injured"?
Earth Kingdom Corporal	[Addressing his comrades.] How cruel! I can't believe these Fire Nation monsters would target our injured!
	The Earth Kingdom troops attack Team Avatar.
Katara	No, no! I don't mean 'take care of them' that way. I meant more like, 'help them and their suffering.'
Earth Kingdom Soldier	End their suffering!? You merciless monsters!
Katara	Wait, wait! And! I said "And"! I don't want to end their suffering!
Sokka	Okay Katara, you literally just said that you don't want to end their suffering... Maybe you should just stop talking.
Katara	I-I didn't mean that, I-I meant-- uh, forget it.
	Team Avatar defeats the Earth Kingdom troops.
Katara	We should probably bring these guys to the infirmary.
Aang	Why does everyone assume we're spies for the Fire Nation? I mean... we don't even look like Fire Nation.
Sokka	Exactly. Which is perfect cover for a spy!
Katara	[Addressing the infirmary personnel.] Don't attack! We're just bringing some soldiers who need help.
Infirmary Guard	We've got more injured soldiers out here. I need some staff to help bring them in. [Addressing Team Avatar.] Alright, what happened? Why are you kids here?
Aang	Well, ummm... First off, I'm the Avatar, and we're just trying to help.
Infirmary Guard	Really? Well, "Avatar", this infirmary is in desperate need of Medical Supplies. My troops and I are busy protecting the injured here, so unless you can miraculously heal our wounded then you aren't much help.
Aang	I can get those supplies, and I really am the Avatar.
Infirmary Guard	Sure, sure, "Avatar".
	Team Avatar returns to the now-destroyed bridge at Carrier's Channel.
Sokka	Aww, man, I really messed this bridge up.
Aang	Sooo... What now?
Katara	Hmm... I might have a solution.
	[Narration: Katara begins to create an ice bridge with waterbending to get across the ravine.]
Katara	Alright. I think that should do it! Now stay close to me as we cross in case anything happens on the ice.
	Having moved across the ice bridge, Team Avatar approaches the Supply Station.
Spear Soldier	[Addressing his officer.] Sire, the tank has just been destroyed.
Masked Soldier	I can see that. How on earth did that happen? I mean, it's a tank!
Spear Soldier	Well, sir. It seems they used our own trebuchet against us.
Masked Soldier	WHAT?! This is an absolute mockery of the Fire Nation.
Sokka	And there's more mockery where that came from.
	A battle begins.
Aang	[Awkwardly addressing the Fire Nation soldiers.] Yeah, uh, "Tanks" for the supplies...
Sokka	You have much to learn, young punster.
	Team Avatar defeats the Fire Nation soldiers. [Narration: The Fire Nation soldiers retreat from the Supply Station.]
Aang	Okay, let's see if we can find anything helpful. Hey, I think I found something.
Sokka	What is it?
Aang	Well, it looks like Medical Supplies?
Katara	They are! Great job, Aang!
	Team Avatar returns to the infirmary. [Narration: The Fire Nation soldiers retreat from the Supply Station.]
Infirmary Guard	[Shocked, addressing Team Avatar.] You got the Medical Supplies? B-But how is this possible?
Aang	Because I'm the Avatar!
Sokka	And I used the Fire Nation's siege weapon against them.
Katara	Also the bridge was destroyed, but I made an ice bridge to replace it... ...for now. But you might need to construct a new one once it melts.
Infirmary Guard	I-I can't believe this, I uh, thank you... Thank you so much. [A messager arrives.] I just got a message from Captain Boqin, to send any soldiers that are able back to the battle at the Garrison.
Sokka	This is bad. If the Captain is in such need of soldiers, the situation at the Garrison is probably worse than we thought.
Katara	[Addressing the Infirmary Guard.] We want to help, but Captain Boqin keeps refusing to let us assist.
Infirmary Guard	I know the Captain. He can be stubborn, but he'll listen if I talk to him. [Addressing Aang.] Please, Avatar. You and your comrades are our only hope of beating Captain Masaru. Will you join us?
Aang	Well, uh... I-I won't let you down.
Sokka	Yeah, don't worry. We got this!
	Team Avatar and the soldiers from the infirmary intervene at the battle for the garrison.
Boqin	[Addressing Team Avatar.] Alright, follow my lead, even if you truly are the Avatar. This is a battlefield!
Aang	[Determined.] Don't worry about me, sir.
Sokka	For the Water Tribe!
Katara	Everyone stick together!
	After overcoming many Fire Nation soldiers, the group faces Captain Masaru and his retinue.
Masaru	[Angrily.] This fight is a farce! Our victory is inevitable! [Calmly.] Why can't you see that?
Boqin	All I see is another Fire Nation fanatic unable to comprehend his own defeat.
Masaru	[Angrily.] You are a fool, Boqin! You only prolong the suffering of your people!
Boqin	Enough of this nonsense, Masaru. Either you surrender or fight, you coward.
Masaru	[Calmly.] If you will not end this cycle, then it's my duty to end it for you.
	After a fierce clash, Boqin and Team Avatar defeat Masaru and his troops.
Masaru	This isn't over, Boqin! I shall return! Soldiers. Retreat!
Boqin	[Addressing Team Avatar.] I can't believe I'm saying this to a bunch of kids, but... thank you. I underestimated you, just like our enemies did to us! Ugh, despicable. You lot clearly aren't Earth Kingdom, and yet you defended us. For that you have my utmost respect and gratitude.
Katara	We're just glad we could help.
Sokka	You know, you're a pretty nice guy when you're not telling us to scram.
Boqin	Ha, "pretty nice". Don't go around telling anyone. I don't want people thinking I've gone soft! Hahaha!
Aang	Umm... Actually... Do you think things will be alright here if we left? We were planning on going to Omashu and I'm pretty tired of all this fighting.
Boqin	Of course, I've got this all handled here and I've already sent a messenger to Omashu for reinforcements. Safe travels.
Katara	[Addressing her friends.] I know it took a while, but I'm glad we were able to help out.
Sokka	Also, we're war heroes now, so that's a win.
Aang	I'm not sure if we should be calling ourselves war heroes just yet.
Sokka	Fine, fine. But can we be war heroes after we end the war?
Katara	Haha, maybe. We'll see.
Aang	I just can't wait for you guys to see Omashu. It's one of my favorite places in the Earth Kingdom. Oh, and the people there are super friendly.
	End of the mission.

Extra mission: Firestarters

	After finishing the main storyline in the Shen Guan sub-region, players can return to do additional battles, triggering extra interactions as part of the "Firestarters" side mission. In this mission, they no longer play as Team Avatar, but as unidentified Fire Nation soldiers reinforcing Captain Masaru's troops. The mission starts at the Stonecraft Overpass soon after the events of the main storyline.
Spear Soldier	[Addressing Masaru.] Sir, our scouts have reported that the Avatar has left Shen Guan.
Masaru	[Thoughtfully.] Thank you, soldier. Go inform the rest of the army, and tell them to await further instructions.
Spear Soldier	Right away, Sir!
Masaru	[Thoughtfully, talking to himself.] Without the aid of the Avatar, Captain Boqin will be focusing on defending the Garrison. A coordinated series of surprise attacks should weaken his defense enough for a decisive assault on the Garrison.
Masked Soldier	Sir, the reinforcements have arrived.
Masaru	Excellent timing, allow them in. [Addressing the reinforcements.] The four points you need to secure are the Coal Mine, the Infirmary, Bedrock Buff, and finally the Supply Station. Once the outermost perimeter is secure, phase two will begin. Your team will then move to secure the routes leading back to the Garrison. Meanwhile... I, alongside my forces, will intercept any reinforcements. Once the routes and inner perimeter are secure, the final phase will begin. After all areas are secured, we regroup at the Garrison to take out Captain Boqin and his forces. Move out IMMEDIATELY! Dismissed.
	The group moves to Bedrock Buff.
	[Narration: No Earth Kingdom soldiers in sight, this location is perfectly secluded. The Fire Nation team begins setting up the siege weapon.] Time passes. [Narration: The Siege Weapon is now secured.]
	The group moves to Pebble Pass near the siege weapon. [Narration: A sudden commotion in the woods startles a nearby group of platypus-bears causing them to become aggressive.]
Platypus Bear	ROAAAAAAH!
	[Narration: After the platypus-bears are repelled, the troop investigates the commotion. It appears to have been a trap made by the Earth Kingdom to lure and agitate the platypus-bears. Pebble Pass is now secured.]
	The group moves to the Infirmary.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Not another step! Surrender now! No? Very well then. You're lucky the Infirmary is nearby. [The Fire Nation troops defeat the Earth Kingdom soldiers.] ... No ... We failed.
	[Narration: The Infirmary is now secured.]
	The group moves to Rubblewood Thicket near the Infirmary, defeating more Earth Kingdom soldiers.
	The group moves to the Coal Mine, encountering more platypus bears.
	[Narration: Platypus-bears emerge from the coal mine, they must've scared off the Earth Kingdom soldiers.] The group defeats the animals. [Narration: The platypus-bears have retreated.]
	The group advances to Prospector's Path near the mine, encountering the soldiers who had fled the platypus bears.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	Great! Now we got Fire Nation. Like the platypus-bears weren't enough of a problem already. [The Earth Kingdom forces are defeated.] Stop! We surrender...
	[Narration: Prospector's Path is now secured.]
	The group advances to the Supply Station.
Earth Kingdom Soldier	[In panic.] The Fire Nation is here! Protect the supplies! [The Earth Kingdom troops are defeated.] Retreat! We must alert Captain Boqin!
	[Narration: The Supply Station is now secured.]
	The group advances to Carrier's Channel near the Supply Station.
	[Narration: A Sand Cart blocks the road, preventing the Fire Nation from advancing. It will require skillfull firebending to destroy the Sand Cart.] The group's firebenders start a fire. [Narration: It's a bit damp. Hit it again!] A second fire blast destroys the cart. [Narration: That did the trick! Carrier's Channel is now secured.]
Masaru	Excellent work! Now let's finally end this. To the Garrison!
	End of the mission.

Extra mission: Woodland Warrior

	After finishing the "Firestarters" side mission, extra interactions are triggered part of the "Woodland Warrior" side mission. In these battles/interactions, gameplay continues as unidentified Fire Nation soldiers. Gameplay begins immediately after the prior side mission, starting at the Garrison.
	[Narration: The Fire Nation forces regroup outside the Garrison. As Captain Masaru speaks, a silence sweeps across the soldiers.]
Masaru	[Adressing the Earth Kingdom troops.] Captain Boqin, the Garrison is surrounded, your reinforcements have been intercepted, and your supply chains have been cut! Surrender now! There's no honor in a pointless battle to prolong an inevitable defeat.
	[Narration: Suddenly the ground shakes and cracks, as Captain Boqin and a troop of Earth Kingdom soldiers emerge from the underground.]
Boqin	Soldiers! Capture Captain Masaru! CHAAARGE!!!
Masaru	[Adressing the Earth Kingdom troops.] Fools! You think I'm so easy to capture!
	The Fire Nation troops fight through waves of Earth Kingdom soldiers until finally facing Boqin.
Boqin	[Adressing the Fire Nation troops.] You may have gotten this far, but this is where it ends. For the Earth Kingdom!
	The Fire Nation troops defeat Boqin and his forces.
	[Narration: A cloud of dirt erupts into the air. When it settles, Captain Boqin is gone.]
Masaru	RAAARGH!!!
Soldier	!!!!!
Masaru	[Addressing his troops.] You let them get away! Quick! Secure the Garrison! [Addressing the player's team.] Apologies for my outburst. I am truly grateful for this victory. If it weren't for all of you, Captain Boqin's reckless plan could have resulted in my capture or worse. I underestimated by enemy, but I will learn from this.
	[Narration: Later that day...]
Masaru	[Talking to himself in an office in the occupied Shen Guan.] *sigh* I'm getting tired of this war... [Noticing the player's team:] Oh, you're here. Thank you for coming. I have some information and a request. Captain Boqin has started using underground tunnels. This is how he ambushed us at the Garrison. This tactic may be used again in the future, so be wary of holes. They may look like animal burrows but they could be air vents for earthbenders. [Saddened.] Captain Boqin is... tenacious. It is only a matter of time before he rallies his forces and the fighting will start... again. [More upbeat.] I'm counting on your support. You've done a great job, so far. Congratulations on your victory and future victories. We'll need your assistance in the following areas: You'll need to go to the Supply station to gather them and deliver them to the Infirmary. Also, we must be ready if the Avatar returns. So, you must bring coal from the Coal Mine to the siege weapon on Bedrock Buff. Lastly, you can take the fight directly to Captain Boqin, if you can find him. And remember to bring any resources you find back to the Garrison to collect a reward.
	End of the mission.

Extra activities

	After finishing the extra mission, the players are tasked with further activities to beat back attempts by Boqin to retake the area.
	The team moves to the Supply Station.
Masked Soldier	I'll get those Medical Supplies you requested. Just one moment please.
	The team moves with supplies to the Infirmary.
Masked Soldier	Thank you, I'll take these supplies to the medical staff immediately.
	The team moves to the Coal Mine.
Masked Soldier	One moment while I get you the Coal Munitions.
	The team moves with coal to the artillery at Bedrock Buff.
Masked Soldier	Flamey-O hotman! Thanks for the delivery!
	The team moves to the Stonecraft Overpass, where they confront Boqin's main force.
	[Narration: War. War doesn't change. An endless struggle between the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom continues.]
Earth Kingdom Soldier	For the Earth Kingdom!
Masked Soldier	For the Fire Nation!
Everyone	CHAAARRGE!!!
	A battle begins, and the Fire Nation forces defeat Boqin's troops.
	The team delivers destroyed Earth Kingdom equipment as proof of victory to Masaru's headquarters.
Masaru	Well done, I appreciate your team's efforts to drive back Captain Boqin. Keep it up!
	From this point onward, interactions are repeated.
