Crossroads of destiny version 2

Okay, this is my version of the finale, season 2 of avatar! this is what would have hapened if iroh hadn't turned up to save katara! (thinking of a possible chapter 2!)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fanfiction, they are trademark of nickelodeon! (dammits, i want katara!!)

"Aang." Katara whispered. She held the motionless avatar in her arms, weeping silently.

"Okay, seize him!" Azula commanded , waving her hand casually. Katara rose to her feet, stepping over Aang's body.

" I won't let you take him" Katara said calmly.

"Katara, it's over, get out of the way." Zuko commanded.

"No! It's not over as long as i'm still here!" She retorted, preparing the octopus form once again. Zuko stepped forward, but he moved no more. He knew she wouldn't give up without a fight.

"Zuko, get your girlfriend out of my way." Azula said, irritated. Zuko did nothing. Was it the right thing to do?

"Come on then, Zuko! Show your sister how 'strong' you are." Katara shouted, her tears running dry.

"Yes Zuko, show me your loyalty once again by getting rid of this bothersome waterbender." Azula laughed. This would be interesting.

On her word, Zuko launched a small fireball towards Katara. Not surprisingly, she blocked the attack with a tentacle of water. Zuko ran forward, creating flame sabres on both of his arms. Katara shot out with two tentacles, narrowly missing the advancing prince. Quickly, she pulled them back, aiming for Zuko's feet. He responded quickly, jumping high up into air. Abandoning the octopus form, Katara launched the excess water at the firebender in a huge torrent, knocking him back. Zuko landed on his feet, shaken, but standing. He stopped dead in his tracks, as his eyes met hers. He saw fury and sadness swirling around inside her eyes.

"Katara... please, give up." Zuko said, softly, just like he had done in the tunnel.

"Oh, and I suppose you're just going to let me and Aang leave? I don't think so." She hissed, insulted.

"... I don't want to fight you" Zuko admitted. These words echoed inside Katara's head.

" Zuko..." She began. However, Katara was interrupted by an attack from Azula. A swift bolt of lightning sizzled passed her head. Using the momentum, she gathered water from the moat and launched herself at Azula. Azula continued to attack with lightning, and Katara continued to dodge them. Finally, the two warriors met as Katara blocked another bolt by turning water into ice. Returning it to water, she blasted Azula with a jet of water, knocking her several feet away.
The Dai li moved in front of the princess, creating a solid wall of crystal. Katara dived straight at it, turning herself into a water drill. She collided with the wall, breaking through with considerable force. The front line of Dai li fell back, while the next launched Boulders at her. Katara quickly protected herself with a circle of ice that broke upon impact from the last boulder.

Reaching the peak of her rage, the waterbender created a massive tidal wave from the moat, throwing the destructive force at her attackers. Another crystal wall was formed, but it crumbled easily, the wave still hitting its mark. Katara siphoned away the water, revealing the fallen Dai li agents. This time she had made sure they would not rise again. She scanned the bodies, suddenly realising Azula was not there. Katara turned around to find her holding Aang's motionless body, a sharp bolt of lightning against his throat.

"If he survived my last attack, he won't survive this one." Azula said. Katara cried as she fell to her knees. She had tried her best, but Azula had still won.

"Zuko!" She screamed between sobs. "Please, help me, please!" Zuko looked her in the eyes once more, seeing only despair and desperation. He didn't want this; Katara didn't deserve this.

"Isn't that pathetic? Silly girl, did you actually think you could beat me?" Azula laughed.
