I sighed wrapping an arm around a column of Ba Sing Se's legendary temple. Sure, the Fire Nation had not set eyes on the inside of this place in, perhaps, forever. Sure, I was the youngest conqueror in the history of, perhaps, the world. Sure, my uncle had 100 days and dead son to show for his efforts to do what took me, perhaps, a week at most. Sure, I had only an elite team consisting of two non-benders who were both female to help outwit an entire team of elite royal agents along with their king in, perhaps, two days tops. And how could anyone forget how I effortlessly shot a bolt of lightning at the only being standing between my nation and victory yet, perhaps, gave away the credit to my older, coward of a brother.

Ok enough of this, either way I was ready to leave this dusty, insect infested cesspool of dirtbenders. However, I was not particularly excited about returning home. You see I had a new love interest I guess you could call her. And yes, I know what they say of me. I have a taste for females, well yes, of course, what man could handle me? Then again, no woman could either. Oh well, why date myself? That's so bland and expected.

"Azula? Are you coming?"

Ah, there she is. My one and only loyal acrobat, Ty Lee. My childhood friend I guess you could say, but now she is just an interest. Ok to be honest I have never dated before. My father would not allow me, but before you go and mouth off to my competitors, just know that if I find out...You will never rise from the ASHES OF SHAME AND HUMILIATION!

Ok I digress. Any who, let's start from the beginning, shall we...

"AZULA!"

Flicking my eyes in the direction of my companion, I called back, "Ty Lee?"

Panting the girl caught up with me clad in her usual pink.

"Azula, there's something big happening in town. Some big green blah just like snatched Mai!"

I wrinkled my brow. "A big, green blah huh?" She nodded. "And she was snatched?" She nodded once more. "Hmm, we'll maybe she'll get the excitement she has been looking for".

"No seriously Azula, there's a problem. she was sucked into the ground".

Ok to be honest, I followed my companion just out of curiosity. We hurried towards the center of town. There was a crowd of people watching the scene. I could not believe what I saw. For once my loud, brash companion had been correct when she said that there was literally a green blah in the middle of town.

Looking towards my companion I asked with a smirk, "Well, how about our first date?"

The pretty girl smiled and answered. "I'm nervous, but I'm excited if this is what it takes to be with you".

Holding hands, we jumped towards the abyss. Bright yellow lights and endless streams flashed before us as we fell towards our deaths? We were unsure until...

"Hey!" unfamiliar male voices called out.

Opening my eyes, I shot a bolt of fire from my fingertips at them.

"What the hell?" One of them screamed, brandishing a sword.

I hopped to my feet and took a stance. I counted six terrible looking men. One in particular brandished a hooked arm.

Clenching my teeth I aimed for him first.

"Wait! I don't know how you did that, but if you don't stop, I'll be forced to harm your friend in pink over there".

I looked towards where Ty Lee was being held at knife point. Wow, so much for a date.

"Who are you?"

The man flashed his pearly white teeth. "Ah, my lady, I am the one and only Captain Hook. Welcome to my pirate's ship".
