Chapter 6: It Starts

"Azula..." Zuko seethed. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Because you know me so well." Azula smirked.

Meanwhile, Mai unbound Ursa. Ursa swung her arms around her mother's neck and continued sobbing.

"Mom, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have snuck out. None of this would've happened!" Ursa choked out between sobs.

"It's okay. It's not your fault." Mai said comfortingly. She hugged Ursa and rubbed her back.

...Wow, that was out of character, wasn't it?

Kai crept to the mouth of the cave. Unfortuneately, Toph saw him and encassed him in an earth cocoon.

Aang and Katara rushed over to their daughter.

"Kya! Are you all right?" Katara asked. She hugged her daughter, who cried ut in pain. Katara pulled away. "What's wrong?"

"My arm." Kya whimpered.

"Who did this to you?" Aang asked.

Kya pointed to Chu, whose eyes widened. "Oh, crap."

"SON OF A BITCH!" Katara screamed in anger. She bended water at Chu and thrust him against a wall. Chiu slid to the ground, unconscious. Katara froze him where he sat.

"Nice lungs..." Aang commented. He led Kya over to Sokka and Suki. "Take her back to the Royal Palace. "

Suki nodded. "Okay." She put an arm around Kya's shoulder. Kya looked back at her father.

Aang hugged Kya gently. "It's okay, Kya. Go back to the palace with Aunt Suki. We'll be done as soon as we can."

Kya sniffed. "Okay."

Aang sighed and went back to the cave. He noticed an unfamilliar toddler. He frowned. "Azula, who else did you kidnap? Besides our daughters?"

"What the hell are you talking about, Avatar?" Azula glared at Aang.

Aang picked up Akiko. "Who is this?"

"She's my daughter, you son of a bitch. Now put her down!" Azula declared.

"You have a daughter?" Zuko asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Azula folded her arms. "So what?"

"Where's your husband?" Zuko asked.

"I don't have a husband. I killed Akiko's father!"

Zuko glared at his sister. "You're sick."

"I know." Azula smirked.

"I'm not gonna let you corrupt this child!" Aang declared. He ran from the caves.

"Avatar! Get back here!" Azxula screeched. She sprinted after Aang. Zuko, Mai, Ursa, Katara, Toph, and Sokka followed suit.

Aang looked around for Suki and Appa. "Dammit!"

A blue fireball whizzed past Aang's head. "AVATAR!" Azula screamed. She shot another fireball at him. Katara waterwhipped Azula into a nearby tree.

Zuko walked towards Azula and held up a hand for peace. "All right. Everybody just calm down. I'm gonna have a little talk with my sister, but I need absolute quiet, all right?"

Everyone nodded. Zuko faced Azula. "I'm not the least bit surprised you've yet again put another thorn in my side. But, I just want to know why. Why did you kidnap my and Aang's daughters?"

"You took the throne away from me." Azula answered simply. "I want it back."

"Well, you're not getting it back." Zuko responded.

Ursa started sneaking around the group looking for a spot to hit Azula. Unbeknowest to her, she was heading towards a cliff.

"You are corrupted." Zuko told Azula. "You wanted to destroy the world."

Ursa was getting closer to the cliff, still keeping her eyes on Azula and Zuko.

"You ae the one who's corrupted, Zuzu." Azula seethed.

"I told you never to call me that!" Zuko said sternly.

Toph noticed Ursa getting closer to the cliff. She ran towards her. "Ursa!"

"What?" Ursa took another step and slipped off the cliff. She screamed.

"Ursa!" Zuko yelled frantically.

"Save her, Toph!" Mai cried.

Toph bended a platform below Ursa and bended her up. Ursa rubbed her head and stood up. "Thanks."

"No problem."

Zuko sighed in relief, then turned back to Azula. "Consider yourself banished."

Azula stood up. "You. Wouldn't. Dare."

Aang set Akiko down, went next to Zuko and assumed a fighting stance. "Give up. You're outnumbered."

Azula raised an eyebrow. "Should you really set down a toddler in the middle of a battle? Children are sometimes quite a handful."

Suddenly, Mai cried out in pain and collapsed. "Mai!" Zuko, Katara, Sokka, and Toph yelled at the same time Ursa yelled "Mom!"

Akiko came out from behind Mai holding a syringe.

...Hey, some people think Azula killed Azulon, so this isn't too far-fetched!

...I'm not saying Mai is dead, though.
