Azula and Ozai's Escape

During the Celebration...


Azula lay freezing in her cooler that Zuko had assigned to her a week after her imprisonment. She was to be guarded twenty four hours a day by two prison guards and two royal guards, each being a fire bender. Ozai was stationed in a normal prison cell, guarded by two royal guards twenty four hours a day as well. Zuko ordered to have Azula's cooler be twice as cold as any other cooler, to prevent her from using her more stronger blue fire bending. They both had been locked up for three years to that day. At first Ozai and Azula were in the Royal Prison for the first week. After a week they were transported to the Boiling Rock. Ozai was always guarded by the two royal guards, even when in the courtyard. Ozai had tried many times to get the guards to obey him, but each time he was just thrown in the cooler. Azula was never let out of her cooler, the only time her cell opened was to toss her food in. Azula had been waiting patiently to escape, along with her father. All Azula needed was an opening to strike.


Azula could barely ever tell what time it was, her cell wasn't given any opening large enough to fire bend. She could tell it was now 6 o' clock, and time for her escape.

A few moments later a guard came in holding a tray, "Dinner Time, Princess Azula." said the guard as he threw in the food and left, leaving the cooler door very slightly open.

Azula ate with a sinister smile on her face. After just a few minutes she heard a few guards run down the hallway; "You two, come with me. We have two guards that will be here shortly to fill your spots. Come quick!" and the two royal guards exchanged looks as they waited for the two guards to come first, then the royal guards took off. The Guard on the Left was the one that delivered her dinner that night, and the guard on the right delivered her lunch that day. After all the guards ran past her cell, it was time. She unleashed all her breath and anger at that moment. A huge orange fire ball formed around her body, as it was the hottest she could make. The fire then made a huge ,explosion which blasted open the doors of her cell. The two guards moved aside, knowing what was happening. Azula walked out of her cell, a sinister smile on her face. Azula had escaped her cell, it took three years for her to build up enough strength to bust out, but it was now all worth it.


"You have both done well," Azula said as the two guards stood beside each other behind Azula, "now that I have escaped my cell, it is time to free my father."

Just then two guards saw the cooler completely blasted and saw Azula walking towards them. "Stop right where you are!" one of them shouted. Azula's two guards began to walk in front of her to protect her when she brought her arms up to stop them, "Stop, they're all mine." she took a bending stand and shot two blue fire balls towards the guards. They had no time to react as they were both shot to the floor, groaning in pain the guard on the left had a large tear in his uniform, where the blood of his skin was starting to catch fire. Azula continued down the hall to where her father was. He still had the two royal guards guarding his cell, when the royal guards of Azula's cell walked beside them to join. Azula then made a small grin as she jumped and kicked a wave of fire towards them, they easily blocked the fire and shot their own fire blasts, then Azula's two guards walked right into the cross fire and caught the fire balls and redirected them towards the attackers which made them all fall over the side of the rail. Azula shot a huge fire blast towards her father's cell, creating a huge hole in between the eight bars, allowing him to escape.

"I am so proud of you, Azula." he said as he walked out of his cell. Then they all ran towards the courtyard.

"Father, considering how the Avatar took away your bending, make sure you stay close to me and the guards." she ordered as a bunch of guards surrounded them.

There were about thirty guards all in a circle in their bending stances, ready to take down their most powerful, and important prisoners.

Then the warden came out and walked into the circle, guarded by 4 guards around him.

"I don't know how you were able to gain enough strength to blast your way out of your cell, but give up now and you will live. Your surrounded, its your only chance." said the warden as he walked out of the circle. Hoping that the former Princess would surrender.

"Hmmmm, that is a good offer, lemme think about it for a few seconds." she said putting her hand under her chin.

"Hmmm, you know what? I surrender. I know when I'm beaten." she said, sounding defeated as she put her hands up. As the guards began to get closer to cuff them all, she formed a lightning current in her finger tips, "Duck!" she shouted to her father and guards, just as she spun around throwing a wave of lightning at all the guards.

The guards had no idea how do redirect lightning, or have enough time to move, as each guard was shot with a circular wave of lightning that aimed at each of their hearts, killing them instantly. The warden had a surprised look on his face and ordered his guards to attack her instantly.

As the four guards took their bending stances, Azula shot two shots of lightning towards the warden's guards. While, Azula's guards took out the wardens other guards.

"Oh My God," exclaimed the warden as he saw his now dead guard and began to run away, "I gotta get the hell away from here" he shrieked as he ran scared.

Azula rolled her eyes as she threw her arm back and forth to throw a streak of blue fire. The Fire struck the wardem hard in the back, leaving a long scar on his back.

"You may be Mai's uncle, but Mai is a traitor!" Azula shouted as she finished him off with a small fire blast to the head.

Azula ran as fast as she could and used fire bending to shoot herself into the air.


Once she got to the Gondola, the remaining guards from all around the prison showed up, Azula was the only prisoner they needed to worry about at the moment, as she was now the most powerful fire bender in the world.

Then the warden's second in command rushed up to Azula, ready to take her down.

"Give up, Azula! You may be the best fire bender in the world, but even you can't take on 100 fire benders at the same time, along with 60 non-benders!" he shouted as he smiled as if he had won.

"True..." she said with a sinister smile as she continued, "...but I have a little help!" she shouted as 50 Dai Lee Agents shot up from the ground.

"You all thought that you captured all the Dai Lee Agents, that was where you were wrong!" she shouted as she waved her hand in the air signaling the Dai Lee to attack.

All 100 fire benders began attacking at once, while the 60 non-benders followed closely behind. Although they were outmatched, the Dai Lee took out each bender with every move they made. Azula's two guards took out the non-benders, giving them no mercy. And although he couldn't bend anymore, Ozai took out as many guards as he could, giving them sharp blows in the face, killing them instantly. The whole area became a blood bath. After about forty five minutes of fighting there were only 20 guards left. Azula signaled the Dai Lee to cease attack. As the remaining guards formed a circle around Azula, they began to shake and shiver with fear.

Then Azula Spoke up."Those of you who are still loyal to the former fire lord, join me now and your life will be sparred." she announced as fifteen of the guards exchanged glances and left their bending stances, they slowly walked towards Azula. The Other five guards were shocked calling the new additions to Azula's army traitors.

"If you really are loyal to me, you will all kill your former fellow guards when I say." Azula demanded as the fifteen fire benders formed a straight horizontal line in front of Azula.

"Ready...Aim..." Azula shouted as she made her sinister smile, then she ordered the attack, "FIRE!" the fire benders all shot fire blasts at the same time and killed the remaining guards.

Their bodies lay lifeless. Every guard in the Prison was dead, and the ones that didn't die immediately, died soon afterward. The Warden's Second-In-Command pleaded for mercy, as Azula shot a small but powerful fire blast into his chest, burning through his skin. He layed lifeless, as Ozai threw him off the platform, into the Boiling Lake.

Azula, Ozai, and the rest of their guards and Dai Lee Agents, boarded the gondola. After a few moments they made it to other side.

"Father, we are now free. The Dai Lee are loyal to me and only me, and if I sense any disloyalty from those guards, they will die immediately." Azula exclaimed as both she and her father laughed maniacally as the moon finished rising.

It was 9 o' clock, and and the Most Dangerous Fire Bender in the world was now free.

And it Was Now Time For her to Wreak Her Revenge.


Please let me know what you thought of this chapter, I wanted to give it a feeling of how evil and sinister Azula is now that she was free. I hope you liked the escape.
