Maybe, it wasn't meant to be…

Perhaps, it was just destiny's way of telling them…

Or maybe they fell into another one of fate's twisted games…

Either way… He couldn't save her… Now she's gone… She won't come back…

Destiny: My Cruel Enemy

They have done it.

Aang and his crew have defeated the fire nation's cruel-hearted leader. He was killed on the day of black sun. Not by Aang, no.

The fate of the tyrant was met by his own hand.

In his quarters hidden deep beneath the palace, Fire Lord Ozai killed himself. He knew it was over. In seconds, the avatar would burst through the doors in his avatar state – his strongest form – and defeat him…It was…inevitable.

Well clearly, the raid of the fire nation was a complete success…

But not everyone felt like celebrating…

-

While his companions traveled deeper into the dark mysterious caverns, Sokka stayed behind. He was tangled in a duel with Azula, princess of the fire nation.

A surge of relief and or anxiety ran through him as the chorus of victory echoed the walls.

He ran like a mad man and threw his weight onto the girl before him.

Sokka straddled the princess of the now fallen nation of fire with her collar gripped tightly in his bloody hands.

"Hear that? You've lost. Now, where is she?!!" he demanded. The kindness and usual cheer in his eyes was long gone. They were replaced with anger and determination. That combined with the blood splattered on his face made for a terrifying sight.

His sword was raised to her neck and getting too close for comfort.

When he got not answer, he pressed the sword more firmly against her neck drawing blood from her pale skin.

"Tell me now!! Where is she?!!" he yelled furiously losing control of his patience.

Azula looked straight into his eyes. There was no fear in her eyes. None.

That emotion was erased from her mind long ago.

But one feeling she did know was anger. Anger and hate…

That feeling brewed deep within her.

Without a word or any form hesitation, she slammed her forefingers straight into his stomach almost directly under his rib cage.

Lightning coursed through his body. Everything grew dim…

But before losing consciousness, he heard her wicked laugh.

He saw her vicious smile.

He heard her last words…

"She's dead."


Note: This isn't a one-shot. I have complete intentions of putting up more chapters [especially longer, but I need to see if this idea works. It's just some twisted plot line I worked up while watching a Sukka video on youtube. As you can see, I killed the Fire Lord in this. Only because I have intentions of them running freely around the world and they can't do that if the Fire Lord were still around.
