Sokka of the dark flame.

Chapter one: A new Knight

The gang had cornered Azula in an abandoned town, after they had been chased by the fire nation princess for the last thirty-six hours. Sokka was looking at Katara from the corner of his eyes. She was breathing far too heavy for how little she exerted herself, even in her current weakened condition.

Sokka glancing to the right he notes Toph in the same condition. Her pupils were also dilated. Looking beyond Azula he could see that Anng in the same condition and it did not make sense to the boy. Thinking quickly he remembered that his sister never had bending-fever.

Bending-fever is a condition that only affected benders. Those inflicted with the illness have a high fever and breathing problems. It temporarily decreases their bending abilities, but should the inflicted live through the illness there bending is increased depending on their age and gender.

With both genders if it's contracted at five or under well there chi system is at its highest rate of growth, it will greatly enhanced there chi stores and strengthens the system itself. With males after the age of five years old testosterone weakens the disease granting only a minimal enhancement to their bending abilities.

With females estrogen will not billed up enough to delude the disease till the age of thirteen. Also at the age of twelve are girls hit very hard with fiver and respiratory distress, due to the start of puberty. The enhancement is also only halved until the age of thirteen in girls.

After the age of fifteen the disease does not affect a bender because the chi system is mostly finished growing this is the only constant in the biology of the humans.

There are several treatments for this illness, one being jasmine tea, the best is ginseng tea. The disease is highly contagious and can lay dormant in an area like Tu Zin for several centuries before dying out.

This is why the town was originally abandoned. The illness will always be contracted if a bender is under the age of sixteen.

Sokka's mind proceeded to enter its 'Maximum Overdrive' mode, trying to figure out a way to get the three kids out of this the battle. Remembering a book of laws and traditions of the fire nation he stole, from a fire nation ship during the siege of the North Pole, Sokka makes his choice.

"Azula I challenge you to an Agni Kai using the Oldest Ways. And if you except my challenge and let the others go I will become your loyal Dark Knight." Sokka boldly states to the princess who took notice of the three benders conditions.

Azula was a girl of about five foot one inch tall wearing partial body black plate armor. Azula's armor (was by order of Azula's father designed to purposely) hid her best weapons, her assets. Her black armor also had gold lining. Since Azula's armor was designed for a member of the royal family it was far more intricate then that of a simple soldier. Her long deep brown hair was up in a top-knot with dagger like bangs framing her face.

"And why would I except the challenge of Agni Kai from a mere water tribe member, who also happens to be a peasant." Azula asks Sokka to by time for the three benders to further weaken.

Azula had accurately deduced what most likely was wrong with the rest of the Avatars group. Sokka responds by sheathing his prized boomerang and doing something he swore he would never do in public. He calls forth his inner fire igniting his fists in black flames.

"A member of the royal family of the fire nation must except any challenge of Agni Kai, which utilizes the Oldest Way from any fire-bender regardless of their challengers social standings. Any fire-bender is considered a citizen of the fire nation regardless of where they are born." Sokka recites the fire nation laws to Azula.

Azula knew she would have to except the challenge. She would also accept the full terms of the deal since a Dark Knight would be useful to her and it would weaken the avatars group.

A Dark Knight was not loyal to the Fire Lord, instead they were solely loyal to the one they swore fealty to. There were few things a Dark Knight cannot do for their lady.

Some of the orders tenants and what they cannot do for their lady was: they would not kill the defenseless, they would not kill their family, and they would not commit any unwanted sexual advance on a woman. These were some of the major tenets of the Dark Knights of the Fire Nation, the last tenant was being there most sacred.

The Dark Knights were founded by the first female Fire Lord to protect the woman of the Fire Nation. The Dark Knights first leader was a water tribesmen, firebender, and her husband. Since then it became tradition for a Dark Knight to protect the woman of the nobility. Many of the women would go on to marry the guards since they would be the same age. She could always track the avatar down again especially with the help of this boy.

"I except your challenge as is the law. I will even be nice and let you say goodbye to your friends. After all you will be fighting them the next time you meet them, my Dark Knight." Azula tells the boy with a bow as she steps aside.

"Hay Old Man, help me with the kids they have bending fever." As Sokka says this the still fifteen year old Zuko falls face down coughing already succumbing to bending-fever.

"I'll grab the Great Scared One" Sokka tells the old man with a sigh.

"Be careful with him he is my nephew, Zuko, I am Iroh." Iroh says to Sokka.

Sokka recognized the old man's name. Sokka grabs the scared prince and slings the teen over his shoulders in a firemen's carry. Sokka then walks over to the extremely sick Toph and he gently picks her up. Sokka trust the old man with his sister and Anng.

Sokka walks to the waiting Appa. He carefully sets the young girl down, and then he drops the prince, somewhat gently. Knowing Iroh is behind him Sokka takes off his robe leaving him in only his pants and bracers showing the old man his back as he lays his robe over Toph. This shows his mussels which looked like spun steel cables. But what caught Iroh's eyes was Sokka's tattoo.

Tattooed upon Sokka's back was a black shadow European dragon breathing black flames with blank eyes. Iroh knew no water tribesmen would were a dragon upon his back without reason. The in the water tribe European style dragon was the mark of shame in the water tribe. And thee black dragon was the mark of the Dark Knights.

To combine the two would mean the boy felt great shame yet great respect for the order of the Dark Knights. Iroh also only knew of two men of the Southern Water Tribe that would know about the order of the Dark Knights.

"Good luck boy, I will take good care of your friends." the old man tells Sokka as he helps the old man onto Appa.

"Take care of the dark haired girl first, she is twelve. Appa yip, yip" Sokka says as Momo jumps onto Sokka's shoulder as Appa takes off.

"Momo you should go with them." Sokka tells the lemur.

Momo just shakes his head no.

"Well you can stay I guess, but you will be Aang's enemy now, Momo." Sokka tells the lemur but Momo just stays put.

"Thanks buddy I will have to get you some leechi nuts if the princess allows it." Sokka tells his friend patting Momo on the head. Sokka then turns to Azula.

"When will we begin are duel?" Sokka asks the girl.

"We will begin as soon after Mai and Ty Lee arrive." Azula tells the boy as she gathers her blue fire into her hands and fires it into the air.

Sokka begins to stretch as he prepares himself for the duel. He thinks of the words his father told him when Sokka asked him for advice on developing his bending without his master, who he only knew as the "Western Dragon". His father told him that a fighter should be formless like water. That way he could bend even if his "roots" were broken.

So Sokka strove to make himself "formless". But he also learned how to use the boomerang and Kyoshi fighting style, so he would not have to rely on bending and could be truly formless.

Sokka also remembered the praise Jeong-Jeong gave him before declaring him a true master of fire-bending. The old man told also told Sokka that he would be able to teach the avatar in Jeong-Jeong's place when the time came. He began going through the basic of firebending kata's to disguise his true bending style, his blue eyes turning to the gold of a firebender. Sokka has only ever firebend in the presence of four people in his life until now, Gran-Gran, his father, Jeong-Jeong, and his master the Western dragon. His mother also knew he was a fire bender.

Azula watched her new Knight go through the basic forms. She could also recognize them as the basics of her uncle's style of firebending. She was impressed by this peasant's mastery of the basics, his forms were flawless. But they were only the basics nothing a master fire-bender such as her would have to worry about.

His black flames and well-built body fascinated Azula. She knew the only way for a firebender to be blessed with black flames was for them to be born during a full lunar eclipse a very rare occurrence that happened only once every two hundred years in the fire nation. She heard that those who bent the dark fire were blessed by Yomi husband of the great lady Agni, goddess of the sun. Well she considered Agni to be a woman.

But Azula did not care much about legends at this moment, she only cared about the beautiful black fire the boy was bending in front of her. The flames were beautiful in there destructive power.

Azula has always loved the site of fire but there was something about the black fire of this water savage. And the fact that the boy was topless helped to distract Azula, as she could not help but stare at his body. She began to stretch when she saw the pink of Ty Lee's shirt in the distance. Azula finished her stretching when Mai and Ty lee arrived.

Ty lee smiled as she saw Azula.

"Hay Azula what's the cute guy doing here?" the flexible girl ask her friend.

"The boy has offered to become my Dark Knight if I let the others go and faced him in Agni Kai using the Oldest Ways. I accepted, we will begin as soon as he asks what he wants if he wins, you two will bear witness. Now... What was your name again?" Azula asks Sokka.

"I am Sokka, the Black Dragon of the Southern Water Tribe. I ask that if I win you will release Kya, the last water bender of the Southern Water Tribe to be captured, to a place of her choosing and leave her there unharmed." Sokka tells the girls.

"I Azula the crown princess of the Fire Nation and the Lady of the Blue Flames except your challenge and will grant your request should you claim victory over me. And since I have the better end of the deal I will forgo asking for a wager from you." Azula tells Sokka as she removes her armor with Ty lee and Mai's help.

'I'm glad I wore wrappings today instead of a bra.' Azula thought considering she developed a taste for more lewd underwear, it would be embarrassing to halve to fight this boy in an almost see through lacy bra. But thinking about it probably would have given her an advantage over the water barbarian.

Well Azula was doing this Sokka took off his bracers and lit them on fire along with his club, knife and machete; he would no longer be needing them since he was not a member of the water tribe anymore. The only thing he would keep of the water tribe was boomerang. Finally Sokka removed his hair tie he would no longer be wearing the warriors wolf tail.

'Yummy'. The three girls think when they see Sokka with his hair down.

'Holy fuck, Azula is stacked to Yue.' Sokka thinks as he stares at Azula's revealed body.

Without her armor Azula's body was revealed to Sokka. Azula had big breasts for her age, her breasts were a nice round c cup. Azula's large heart shaped ass was well framed by her tight pants witch had no panty lines. But what really got Sokka's attention was Azula's bare thin waist.

Azula's stomach was flat with a hint of a six pack. You see Sokka like most of the men of the Water Tribes found a exposed belly to be extremely attractive since few woman exposed there belly's do to the extreme cold of the poles. Azula also had nice wide child barring hips.

"Mai you will initiate the duel we will begin on your mark." Azula tells her friend.

Azula's voice also snaps Sokka out of his lust induced staring at Azula. Azula and Sokka move till they are ten paces apart. Then Sokka and Azula turn their backs to one another.

"Hopefully this will be entertaining, begin now." Mai says in a bored tone from the relative safety of a large rock as the two tern to face each other.

Azula strikes first with a strait blast of blue fire in her basic stance. Sokka counters by standing strait up with a blast of his black fire from his left hand, with his right hand Sokka mimes throwing a boomerang. The motion of Sokka's hand sends a boomerang of black fire in a wide shot so the return trip will hit Azula.

"Some fire bender you are you missed...oomph." Azula is knocked down from behind by Sokka's fire boomerang.

The burn she receives is only as bad as a mild sun burn showing how much control Sokka has over the heat of his flames. This lite burn but it is enough to end duel. Mai and Ty lee are shocked that Azula lost on the second move. Azula was shocked by not only the speed at which she lost it, as it took her father at least an hour to beat her in a practice mach.

But this boy never even took a proper stance when he fire bent. Azula propped herself up on her elbows and stared at Sokka with shock and attraction in her eyes. This Azula's pose shows off her well-developed chest and a fair amount of cleavage since Azula only loosely wrapped her chest. The site of Azula in this pose gives Sokka a semi a hard on. Sokka was quite glad his pants were loose around his crotch.

Sokka walked up to Azula and offers her his hand which the princess takes as he easily pulls the girl up. As Azula is pulled up she purposely overbalances herself so she crashes into Sokka's chest. Azula's hand also brushes lightly against Sokka's crotch. This was on complete accident and caused Azula's face to light up with a bright red blush. Ty lee and Mai came up to the two teens, with the former of the two blatantly starting at Sokka's hard eight pack abs.

"I can't believe you lost Azula." Ty lee says with a little drool coming out of the side of her mouth.

Mai was also staring at Sokka's abs from the corner of her eye.

'Fucking hell Sokka's abs look hard enough to make my beautiful steel baby's bounce off them. Hell they look hard enough to bounce Miss Three Point Death bounce off of them without harming him.' Mai thinks looking at Sokka.

Miss Three Point Death was what Mai called her bladed sai. Azula was distracted by Sokka's pecks. Since Mai was brought up to be a perfect daughter who sat still, she rebelled by cursing in her head.

'Sokka's pecks look like they would be able to stop my prototype Super Dreadnought class battleship cold.' This is what is going through Azula's head.

Since the Super Dreadnought class battle ship was still in the testing phase it was considered Empire class ship until testing was finished. In the last months of the war the nine more of this ships would be constructed. After the war the Empire class ships would be upgraded into dreadnought class ships using parts from the super dreadnought class ships.

'Cutie is yummy I want to eat him up, I bet he has a nice big komodo sausage stuffed with cheese for us. I hope Azula will share him with me. And maybe Mai too if she ever gets over Zuko.' is what Ty lee was thinking as her drool production is increased.

"Well I think I'm going to need some new cloths if I am to be your Dark Knight Azula…Lady's?," Sokka asks the girls when he suddenly felling like a piece of tasty, tasty, meat in front of...well himself.

The girls just keep staring at him with blank eyes.

"What?" the girls asked just continuing to stare at him, after all they have not been around a boy there age in weeks.

Lucky for Sokka Momo came to his rescue by landing in Mai's hair cosign the girl to freak out, yelling about an unwashed beast in her hair. Which brought the other two girls back to their senses. Well it does bring Azula to here sense and she proceeds to smack Ty lee in her left cheek. This snap's Ty lee out of her very hot boy induced shock.

"What did you say cutie... I mean Sokka?" Azula, Ty lee and Mai (who had flung Momo off her head) asked at the same time.

"I said Momo and I could use some new cloths and a bath." Sokka deadpans.

"Why do you need new cloths?" Surprisingly it was Mai who asked this question. (She could understand why the two needed a bath though.)

"It gets cold." Sokka replies with no emotion in his voice.

"Good point cutie. Girls you know this means a shopping trip. After all a dark knight that guards the princess cannot be seen in normal officer's clothes. Cutie needs some high class outfits" Ty lee states to the girls who all smile.

To Sokka it was one of the most terrifying things he ever saw and he liked to shop. Well for weapons and accessories at least. He still did not like to shop for clothes, but when he did he made sure he got something to his liking and would last for some time. He hated clothes that were made form delicate materials.

"Sokka will ride with me on the way back to the transport. We will stop at New Ozai for Sokka's new cloths and armor before heading to the Boiling Rock." Azula declares.

"Why dose Sokka/cutie ride with you?" the other girls ask Azula.

"Princess" Azula counters the other girls.

Grumbling the two girls help Azula back into her armor before the group goes to their awaiting mounts. Sokka being a gentleman helps all three girls onto their mongoose-dragons. Then his climes behind Azula wrapping his arms around her waist. He makes sure to keep his hand in an appropriate place.

'She smells nice' Sokka thought as he gets a whiff of her hair.

Azula in a bold act presses her large ass against Sokka pelvis. Sokka blushes and counters Azula's act by moving his hands to her hips pulling her closer to himself.

And with that the three mongoose-dragons took off back to their transport.

Meanwhile with Iroh...

The old man was glad for Appa's intelligence, since he realized the old man wanted to help the avatar. This allows Iroh to direct Appa back to the village with the beautiful fortune teller. He could only hope she was not a fraud and would foresee his arrival with the sick children.

As for Appa he was flying as fast as he could to Makapu Village, far faster than even his top speed at full strength. In a half hour they arrived at aunt Wu's manner with a surprisingly gentle crash landing stopping in front the woman herself.

Appa's eyes were blank and he was foaming from the mouth in exhaustion. The lady of the manner was waiting for him inches away from Appa's landing site with two men with her.

"I foresaw your arrival Handsome, there is Ginseng tea waiting for the children inside and a doctor to take care of the young girl." Aunt Wu tells the relieved Iroh.

The old man carefully picks up Toph who is still clutching the water tribe boy's tunic. Aunt Wu proceeded to pick up Katara, the girl was annoying but Aunt Wu respected the girl. The two men picked up Zuko and Anng. After the four kids were given their tea the two older people retired to a sitting room.
Iroh unpacked his tea set.

"What kind of tea do you like Miss Wu?" the old man asks the woman.

"I quite enjoy jasmine tea, Iroh. It is quite refreshing to spend time with such a gentleman as yourself. Perhaps we can play a game of pai sho well we enjoy are tea." aunt Wu suggested as Iroh made the tea.

The old man knew a fortune teller could never see their own future so he gladly accepted as it would take his mind off his worry for Zuko. Little did he know just how much the old fortune teller would take his mind off his worry? It would be the first night of passion either of the older people had in a long time, and it would not be the last the two would share.

(Hay Iroh needs a little love two. And yes that was as disturbing for me to Wright as it was for you to read. But old people need love two.)

Back with Sokka and the Dangerous Trio...

Sokka still felt like a piece of tasty, tasty meat as he helped the girls off their mounts. But now they were staring at him with a zombie like gaze. As he enters the transport he grabs the first soldier he saw.

"For the love of god please get me a shirt." he yells at the woman as he shakes her.

"Just look at how those girls are looking at me." Sokka yells at the woman grabbing her head and pointing it at the zombifide like girls.

The woman was surprised that Lady Mai could still somehow look bored even with such a blank expression on her face. Feeling bad for the boy the woman runs to get the boy one of the few standard male military shirts.

Azula believed that most men were incompetent after the former caption of her battleship screwed up her uncle's and brother's capture. So her tank-train class land battle ship had an all-female crew.

The woman who was the captain of the ship though Sokka was a fine specimen of his gender. But the captain knew she could not afforded the distraction of his uncovered form would cause the ladies under her command.

Boiling rock prison…

We see a blue eyed woman with large round DD-cup breasts and a large bubble butt. She had a thin athletic stomach as well as wide hips giving her the classic hour glass figure. She was wearing the standard red prison garbs along with a hair net. She smiles at the guards as she passes out food for the guards. All the while she is humming the lullaby she sang her kids to sleep with. This woman is Kya Sokka and Katara's mother. Kya is also the only waterbender in Boiling Rock. She was transferred after three years of good behavior in dry rock water bender prison.

She was also a trustee of the prison and was well loved by the guards. She also helped the female guards make sure the woman of the prison were not molested against there will.

To be continued…
