We met Jet while we were traveling through the Earth Kingdom. We'd been having a lot of problems with Zuko following us, and so Sokka decided that instead of flying we had to walk. Which worked out great... when we walked right into a Fire Nation camp full of soldiers.

It wasn't good. We were completely outnumbered - I was barely a bender at all, then, and Aang only knew airbending. Sokka hadn't really fought anyone either... and then Jet came, swinging down from the tree tops. He took out practically the whole camp by himself, but he wasn't alone.
