LW: Hello all! Here's something for my all time favourite ATLA character EVER. Azula!
Aang: What? What about me or Katara, even Zuko would be better.
LW: No. I like the mad genius princess (And as a Tyzula supporter so does Ty Lee) Also I needed Azulong to arrive soon so this is set about a year or so after the series finale with Azula in the mental place.
She's about to get a visitor.
Love & Madness – Love Cures All.
1yr after end of Avatar
Being a princess Azula never expected to end up in a place like this, covered in filth and smelling of death and other mess. The doctors in their wisdom decided to use the strongest drugs they can find to fix it, which here means keeping her drugged up and somewhere between semi and unconsciousness most of the time.
The world has gone on without here and nobody has come to see here conscious except here visions and once Ty Lee and Mai.
Flashback(11 months previous)
Azula: (Narrative) That time was to tell me Mai was pregnant. If I'd been myself at that time I would have had some kind of comment, probably about Zuko not being gay yay! Instead I just sat there with that blank look on my face. Mai didn't notice maybe because of the pregnancy but Ty Lee had to see, she knew me and this wasn't me. But they just left soon after leaving me with my thoughts and the laughter.
(4 months later)
The world had forgotten Azula but Pyron wasn't of this world. He was something different.That day he appeared from fire before Azula with a smile and sympathy for the insane princess. It was early morning so Azula was clean for now, the best time to speak to her and get her.
Pyron: Wake up little girl.
Azula: Well at least I'm getting better looking visions. You're a different hallucination, go away now; you've taken all I can give.
Pyron: I'm here just like you, (Tilts head) why can't I be real?
Azula: Nobody's been here since Ty Lee and Mai 4 months ago except mother and father but they're never real. Why would I think you were any different?
Pyron: How can I prove I'm real?
Azula: Beats me.
Pyron: How about THIS
Kneeling in front of the princess his hands became like claws or blades then placing his hand on her forearm, burned his handprint into her flesh.
Azula: Ahh! That hurt… Wait that means you're …
Pyron: Real, Crazy, A Firebender, All Of The Above. Yes. The burn will fade in a few days. (Holds out his hand) My names Pyron, you don't need to tell me yours I've seen you around.
Azula: (Taking his hand) What are you?
Azula was mad not stupid, she knew when something wasn't right, and right now that was the boy/man in front of her. The guy was dressed in a fiery red colour not unlike fire nation uniforms but this was made into a fine suit. His hands were normal again as she had just shook it and his fingers were long and thin. His hair was one of 2 strange things he wasn't hiding; it was a mess of red and small strands of yellow and became black at the back, all in a spiked formation somewhere between a star and a fire. His face was the other thing – because he was now smirking she saw his teeth were spiked whether they were natural or filed didn't matter they looked sharp, also his eyes were quite strange a strong red with no pupils. In Azula's head pardon the pun she went 'Hot!'
Pyron: I'm someone who hear because all you need is companionship (blushes) or at the moment a friend.
Azula: (smiling) Thanks.
Pyron: Well I'll see you tomorrow then. (Flames away)
Azula: (Narrative) He did come, everyday for quite a few months. I don't know whether I remember it well because I enjoyed him…his company or due to the fact he steamed the meds out of me each time he came to see me that it was just because I could but it was fun but I knew it couldn't last but I hoped it got better not worse when it changed.
Present
Pyron: Zula, I want to make today special for you.
Azula: (Smiling) How can you do that? It's not like you can get me out of here!
Pyron: (Smirking) But I can.
Azula: Really?
Pyron: Yes. (Removing his shirt) Do you know what this is?
On his chest was a mark like a tattoo or brand made so it was the same upside-down as right now, which was the word 'FIRE' Azula loved it because it felt like it linked her to him.
Azula: No what does that have to with getting out?
Pyron: It marks me, as The Unbound Immortal of Fire. As for it getting us out, it doesn't but it put me on the power plane of Agni.
Azula: (Azula smirk) Soooooo, what are you waiting for? Get me out of here.
And that's just what he did, pretty much incinerating a path for Azula and himself, turning some of the more arrogant and stupid guards to dust with a fireball, making Azula laugh each time. Once they got out of the facility Pyron pulled the princess into an embrace and the flames circled around them.
3 months later
Zuko sat in his throne room Mai sitting with him their 1yr old daughter Helios on her lap. Both were worried about Azula, nobody had seen her in 3 months and they know she survived the fire in the asylum. Even the Avatar and the GAang had been looking for her for the last month and they were starting to give up. Then there was the sound of an explosion and screams of servants and guards. The doors of started to go red and at parts white hot from what was behind the door as clawed hands appeared from the gap between the doors, then the whole door explodes. From the empty doorway came 2 people, one was a total stranger the other was….
Mai & Zuko: AZULA!
Azula: Hey Mai, hey ZuZu. I'M BACK
Mai: And Pregnant!
She was right; on the prodigy's stomach was her distinct bump of pregnancy. After her outburst the Emo Assassin plopped her daughter on her father's lap and ran over to her seemingly sane friend hugging her as hard as she could without harming the 2 receiving it.
Mai: (Releasing) Where have you been? It's been months. How? How far?
Azula: Well I'm 6 months along, and I've been travelling around the worlds for 7. Also part of that was with my husband.
Zuko: Husband? (Looking at Pyron) Him?
Azula: No ZuZu he just got me in here….Of course it's him, He's also little Azulong's father.
Mai: Azulong?
Azula: Yep (Ty Lee smile on her face). It's a girl and her names Azulong.
Zuko: So Why are you back, not that I not happy to see you but you did blow up the place. And you've been gone for 7 months in a 3 month period.
Pyron: It's so the child is born in the world she belongs in and Azula gives birth with those closest to her. Mainly Ty Lee and Mai.
Mai: Really.
Azula: Yep.
Zuko: Azula are you sane again.
Azula: Yep, Just happy to bring something good to this world.
Zuko: In that case, there was something we were wondering and were going to ask you when you were safe and sane.
Mai: Will you be a godmother to Helios? I would have asked when I told you but you were out of it so I didn't see the point.
Azula: yeah that'll be fun. Where is she? (Spots Helios with Zuko) Ahh she looks cute!
Pyron: Ours will be cuter. (Kisses Azula's cheek)
Mai: Wait until she's born before you start them competing with each other. (Chuckles)
Azula: OK. But she will.
And with her trademark smirk she turned on her heels and walked off to find Ty Lee.
7 yrs later (8yrs after show)
?: Helios! Helios! HELIOS!
Helios:( Eyes still closed) Azulong what do you want. I'm busy so ask your question or eat fire, I know you can.
Azulong: Are all Agni Kai's to the death?
Helios sighed. Azulong was kneeling right in front of her almost nose to nose with her. She looked just like her mother did and was as much of a prodigy; she was a master bender at 7 but still missed things because she rarely paid attention to the teachers. Her skill was because of the family training, well by that it was her, Azulong and Azula. Both of them were similar to her aunt Azula; the 3 of them were prodigies, all were cold on the outside and warm to there friends, and they had abnormal coloured flames Azulong's was a golden/white colour while Helios's was pitch black.
Helios: No, think about it Azure, your mother's been in one with my dad and he's been in three counting that one and their both still alive. Why?
Azulong: (Frowning) Agni's being a prick again.
? : Too True.
? : It still shouldn't be said
Both girls turned so fast they nearly got whiplash, because at the door were there 2 other friends; Diablo Bakura and Serpentime. And behind them was the Azure Dragon princess Azula. Diablo and Azula were the ones who spoke.
Diablo: Just kick his *** in class again like you normally do.
Serpentime: What's he done now?
Azulong: It was him and Kya were making fun of me again for having psychopathic parents.
Azula: Kya, The Avatar's daughter?
Helios: Yeah that.
Azula: Well maybe you can try getting an Agni Kai out of him when his own bending won't kill him or when you learn to control lightning.
Azulong ran over to her mother and with Diablo and Serpentime's help pushed Azula to the floor and hugged her. Helios smirked and returned to meditating, Azula got back up.
Azula: Careful mini-Mai your mask is cracking. (Smiling the whole time)(Helios pouts) Come on, get up and play with your friends. All training and no fun makes you cold and mad like me.
Helios: Fine. Let's go guys
Azulong: Yay!
The 4 kids happily walk away leaving Azula alone to her thoughts.
?: She's a good kid, you've done well. (Azula spins around)
Azula: Snaky. Well that makes sense, your kid's out there with the others. Why are you here with me?
Snaky: Why do you think? My 2 favourite people in this world are Ty Lee and you in that order so I decided to stop by and say hello. Azulong looks like a nice girl. Serpentime says she's fun to be around (Chuckles) Are you sure she's not Ty Lee's?
Azula: Are you sure Serpentime's not mine. (Both laugh)
Snaky: It's nice to see you still sane. Even after all this time.
Azula: Well you know what they say; Love cures all.
Snaky: Yesssssss, but when love's all that's holding you together once it's gone you fall quite far very quickly. (Turns away) Goodbye Azula, I'll be back for Diablo and my daughter later.
Azula: OK, see ya.
TBC
LW: Hey people hope you like this as most of it was written at 1/2 in the morning.
Azula: Thanks for getting me out of there, but Avatar doesn't belong to you.
LW: Thanks Zula! Well as you can tell this will be a 2-shot. The second part will be less friendly and be more psychopathic (People dying) Well good luck with that.
R&R.
