Author's Note: So we last left off at Zuko getting captured and Katara getting struck with Ozai's lighting...lets see what happens next shall we!

Zuko POV:

"LOOK AT ME." Fire Lord Ozai said entering the room.

I didn't bother to look, how could I look? After what he did to me...what he did to Katara. "No."

"You're nothing anymore Zuko so give up." Ozai hissed.

"I will never give up. Unlike you father I know how to be a man and fight back."

"Oh really. Because you proved that so well." He laughed motioning to my scar.

"I was a child then. Now I could probably beat you at your own game." I snickered.

"Well then lets see how good you really are." Ozai said walking out, but not before whispering to one of the guards.

One came into my cell. "Let's go." He unchained me from the ground and pushed me out.

I was brought to a big room and chained up on two post in the middle of the room. I noticed guards all around the room with fire whips ready. Then my father walked in with Katara with feet and hands tied up.

"I thought I said to let her go!" I said trying to run at my father, but just got held back by the chains.

"Zuko you have said a lot of irrelevant things in your life and that was one of them." Fire Lord Ozai said throwing Katara on her knees. "You want her back, and to be safe don't you?"

I fell to my knees and stared at the ground.

"That's what I thought..so if it's a game you want, then a game is what you will get. If you win I will free her without any harm, but if I win you will have to kill her." A glimmer of satisfaction swept across his face.

I nodded without looking at him. "Fine lets do this!" I slowly got to me feet and the Dai Li unchained me from the post. I was still sore from the fire whip I got yesterday.

"Good then I challenge you to an Agni Kai." Ozai scoffed kicking Katara over to one of the Dai Li members.

When we got outside I stared him down waiting for him to make the first move. He started hurling fireball after fireball at me. I easily dodged them hurling my own fireballs at the same time. As my father moved quickly towards me I noticed fire daggers coming from his fist so I created a blazing ring to knock him off of his feet.

"Is that the best you got?" I shouted at him taking my fighting stance.

"Not at all my son I'm still warming up!" He got up in one precise movement. "Oh look who came to watch."

I looked over to the stair seats that Katara was now trapped in.

"It would be a shame if something were to happen to her." He smiled.

"I would never let that happen!" I spoke sending two fire pinwheels at him while he was distracted.

Ozai created a shield of fire to protect himself. "Yes but how will you ever protect the both of you?" He laughed gathering a lighting bolt.

I wanted to attack him, but if I did that I knew there wouldn't be enough time to redirect his lighting so inside I waiting for him to strike.

"ZUKO HELP!" Katara screamed as she started sinking into the ground.

I started running over to her forgetting about my father and started throwing fire missiles at the Dai Li, but they easy blocked them with an earth wall. As I got closer to them my father sent his lighting at me hitting me close to my heart. I fell to the ground struggling to breath.

"Zuko No!" Katara cried.

I stumbled to my feet trying to not give up.

"Zuko you will never know when to give up now will you?" Ozai spoke as he jet propelled his way towards me gathering more lighting.

"I wont let you take another person away from me." I hollered at him. I quickly tried to make a wall of flames but my body was to weak and I fell to my knees.

"Giving up already Zuko. Your mother was right you are pathetic.: He laughed.

"MY MOTHER LOVED ME! SHE WOULD NEVER SAY THAT!" I screamed threw my tears. Blasting my father with intertwined fire streams.

Fire Lord Ozai gathered a fire lash and hooked it around my arm throwing me into a rock wall 50' feet off the ground. "Give up Zuko you have no energy left to fight. You might as well kill her now." He flashed a look at Katara.

I started falling and I knew if I didn't do something now this would be it, but before I could think of something my father sent lighting at me again and I slammed hard into the ground shaking from all the energy inside my body.

"Ahhhh." I managed to look up at my father who was standing over me smiling.

"Look at you Prince Zuko, do you honestly think that you are worthy of becoming Fire Lord someday? I should just put you out of your pain and misery right now." He said slashing my already opened scar on my chest with another fire whip and then three more to follow. " You are pathetic Zuko! GET UP and be a man." Ozai barked dragging me to my feet.

I held my stomach tight. Lighting was still coursing through my body. "You're the pathetic one!"

"Look at you Zuko you couldn't possible be able to fight back anymore." Ozai snickered.

"I'll fight till I die!" I spoke getting back in my fighting stance.

Ozai sighs. "Very well lets just get this other with." He gathered more lighting aiming it right at my heart.

I took a deep breath in and out and redirected his lighting aiming it at a rock column instead.

"You don't even have the guts to aim it at me." He smirked.

"But I do have the guts to speak out of turn!"

This brought back memories for him and how I humiliated him in front of important people. "And that was the day I no longer had a son!" He hit me hard in the stomach with five fireballs.

I didn't lose my stance I stood my ground and began hurling firebombs at him one after the other causing him to keep stepping back. But then something caught my attention. I saw some of the Dai Li members attacking Katara. So threw some fire arcs at them. When I took my attention back to my father he wasn't there.

"Looking for me?" Ozai chuckled creating a wall of flames and sent it at me from behind.

As I turned around I quickly redirected it back at my father burning his whole body sending him falling to the ground. "I told you I wouldn't give up." I said walking towards him looking down at him. He was wincing in pain.

"How dare you do this to your father!" He screaming wincing in the pain.

"This Agni Kai is over I win!" I walked over to the Dai Li agents and lit a flame in my hand. "Are we gonna do this the easy way or the...AHHHH." I fell to the ground.

"Miss me Zuzu?" Azula mused smoke coming off of her two fingers.
