anyway, i just wanted to say first off i own nothing, if i did the finale would have been very Zutara and it would not be a kids show!
This story picks up just as Azula is shooting the lightning at Katara.....
Enjoy!
The lightning came straight at her. Katara's feet just stood there. She couldn't move. Couldn't think. Couldn't breathe. Zuko could only stand and stare helplessly. Azula had a look between frustration and anger upon her face. Then Katara did something, she never thought she could ever do.
She produced an effective wall of water around herself. It successfully blocked the bolt of lightning, but did little to stop the electric shock. The electricity flowed in through her body, paralyzing her. She screamed out in agony.
The wall of water came crashing down. Her body crumpled under her weight. She lay there, unconscious. Azula started laughing madly.
"Can't even protect a water tribe peasant," she mocked, "can you Zuzu?"
He stared at Katara's still form, horrified. All these emotions ran through him, anger, sadness, worry, doubt, frustration. Everything one person could feel, Zuko felt. He shot fire at Azula, catching her off guard, but she successfully dodged it. She teased him by throwing fire around him in a circle. Azula made her way to the body of the waterbender.
"What a shame," she said examining the body, "she would have made a wonderful slave." Azula kicked Katara hard in the side.
"Don't touch her!" Zuko growled from behind the fire wall.
"Standing up for the peasants, Zuzu
?" She held a ball of blue flames, ready to throw it at him, or Katara. Zuko walked through the flames.
"Leave her out of this." He shouted. "This is between you and me!"
"Well not anymore." She threw the fire ball at Zuko and he countered it with his own fire ball. Azula grabbed Katara and propped her up, almost like a human shield.
"Can't throw anything at me, can you?"
"Azula, let Katara go, this is an Agni Ki between us."
"Alright, fine. Have it your way" She picked up Katara's limp body and threw it hard at a column, with a sickening thud.
"Katara!" he shouted, almost as if it would wake her to consciousness.
Azula threw flames in his direction. He nearly dodged them. He and Azula continued the battle. Neither noticed Katara was conscious and ready to kill Azula.
"Ah, I see your friend is awake." Azula noted. "Well let us see if she can respond alright." Azula shot fire at Katara, but this time the waterbender was ready. She shot a water whip at Azula, just as she shot the fire. The whip knocked Azula back and she was unable to shoot the fire.
"Do we really need to learn this lesson twice?" Azula asked, while charging up for lightning.
Katara knew better though. She decided that now was a good time to bloodbend. She worked her hands around, sensing where the blood was in Azula's body.
Azula felt strange, like she could no longer move her joints. Like she was a puppet someone was controlling. Her arms were twisted behind her back and she was forced to her knees by invisible hands.
Zuko looked on all of this. He had seen Katara do this once, but he never asked what it was. He couldn't understand what Azula was doing, but by the look on her face he could tell she was not doing it out of her own will.
Katara shouted at Zuko to tie Azula up. As he got something she couldn't escape from he started to tie her up.
"How strong she I tie her up?" he shouted.
"Um tie her up pretty tig-". She let her concentration slip and Azula shot fire from her mouth at her. The fire came at the unprepared waterbender, and sent her flying back into the palace wall. Zuko finished tying Azula and knocked her out, before running to Katara. He tried to find a pulse.
"Katara! Please, you can't leave me like this. I know your stronger" he pleaded.
Her arms and neck were burned and no doubt scarred.
"Katara! Please, you can't leave me like this. Please just wake up. Come on, I need you." He began to pump her chest. 1-2-3-4-5, breathe, he thought as he worked. 1-2-3-4-5, breathe. After a few more tries, Katara woke-up. Gasping for breathe. She looked at Zuko wide-eyed.
"You saved me," she managed to croak out.
"Yes, I guess I di-". He was cut off. Katara was hugging him. Him, the fire nation scum she thought he was.
"Thank you." She whispered into his ear, tears rolling down her cheeks and staining his tunic. They sat like for what seemed to be hours, but it was really only a few minutes.
"We better get you checked out" Zuko told Katara. She tried to stand but fell when her legs refused to support her weight. He picked her up bridal style and carried her into the palace. She was a lot lighter than she looked and he could carry her faster. He ran down the halls to what used to be his bedchamber, the younger waterbender gently bouncing in his arms. She liked the warmth his body gave off. When he reached his bed chamber, he gently placed her down on the bed.
"Thank you." She murmured before passing out again. He watched her when she slept. She looks so peaceful, he thought. He left her there to sleep; she had had enough to deal with today.
