Defending Ba Sing Se
Haru and Team Avatar went back to the Jasmine Dragon. Team Avatar was all exited about the victory, but Haru's thoughts dwelled on the book he has spent his life looking for. Haru knew it was time to continue searching for the book. He looked over to Team Avatar, Toph specifically, knowing the reaction he would receive.
The Airships landed next to the Fire Nation forces. The Firebenders got into the Airships and the Airships flew toward the walls of Ba Sing Se at fast speeds. The airships landed on the inside of the outer wall and the Fire Nation attacked. The Fire Nation forces then swarmed the city. General Lee went right to the Earth Kingdom palace. When he entered, with a legion of troops in town, he was met by the collective forces of the council of five.
Sozin and Azula went to Ember Island with Ty Lee and Mai, as normal civilians. It was very similar to when Zuko went with Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai. Except this time, Sozin faced the man who flirted with Azula, who just happened to be Chan in an Agni Kai.
The other Fire Nation forces were swarming the city and one Earthbender was able to get to the jasmine dragon to warn Haru about the attack.
"The fire nation is attacking. Please help us" the Earthbender said before leaving to return to the battle. Haru stopped brewing tea and ran to go and drive the Firebenders out of Ba Sing Se. Team Avatar followed him and they went to fight the fire nation. Haru went to the Royal Palace without stopping while Team Avatar went to engage the Firebenders.
Haru got into the royal palace just as General Lee was about to attack the Earth King. The 5 generals were on the ground and not one bender from the legion of Firebenders had even a scrape or bruise. Haru got the attention of General Lee and then he attacked. Haru took down the Firebenders 1 at a time and eventually was faced with just General Lee. Haru easily overwhelmed the general and he successfully saved the Earth King. Haru used Earthbending to launch all of the Firebenders out of the palace. He did not know they went right to attack the rest of the city.
"Are you alright?" Haru asked the Earth King.
"Yes. Ba Sing Se is in deep trouble" Kuei said.
"I know. Stay here and stay safe. I will go and assist the defense" Haru said and ran out of the palace.
Team Avatar and the Earth Kingdom armies were being backed down and were nearing the point of needing to retreat. Haru came into the battle to save Suki from a Firebender by creating a shield of earth in front of her.
"Nice of you to drop in Haru" Toph called.
"I couldn't let you have all of the fun" Haru said and he attacked. Haru led the Earth Kingdom Military to all of the Firebenders and attacked. It was a battle of Earth and Fire. On nearly every occasion it was Fire that got the edge. But this time it was Earth that was getting the edge. Haru led his troops and they backed down the Fire Nation back all the way to the airships. The Firebenders continued to attack but were extremely outmatched. Eventually General Lee and his forces were forced to surrender to the force in front of him.
"Get out of Ba Sing Se now. We will not keep you prisoner if all of your troops get out of the city now" Haru ordered. Every one looked at Haru like he was crazy.
"What are you doing?" Toph asked.
"If we take them prisoner then the Fire Nation will have extra troops if they invade again" Haru said.
"What will we do? Just let them leave?" Suki asked.
"Yes. That is what we will do" Haru said and he noticed the Fire Nation entering their airships and leaving. Haru and Toph propelled Team Avatar to the top of the outer wall and then down on the outside. Haru and Toph shot rocks at the propellers on the airships and disabled them, causing them all to crash down to the ground. Team Avatar then retreated back over the outer wall of Ba Sing Se. The Fire Nation troops all got out of the airships and were forced to begin their long walk home.
Sozin turned to look at Chan and prepared for a duel. Before the duel the 2 Firebenders had some choice words for each other.
"This duel won't take long" Sozin said.
"You are right. I am not undefeated in Agni Kais for just any reason" Chan said.
"Let's do this" Sozin said as he walked back to his side. The gong sounded to start the Agni Kai and Sozin created a wall of orange fire on all 4 sides of the Agni Kai ring. Chan looked up in shock at the power Sozin used. Sozin smiled and prepared for Chan to attack. Chan did attack with a fire stream and Sozin just blocked it with ease. Sozin blocked all of Chan's attacks with ease and when Chan tried to escape Sozin increased the intensity of the wall of fire. Sozin then changed the color of his wall of fire to his signature white fire before he summoned all of the fire that he could without lessening the intensity on his wall of fire and launched it at Chan. Chan was launched right into the wall of fire and screamed before falling to the ground.
"You were right. This Agni Kai didn't take long at all" Sozin said as he prepared to deal the finishing blow.
"Who are you?" Chan asked in a frightened tone.
"I am the most powerful bender in the world. More specifically I am your Fire Lord" Sozin said menacingly. Right after he said that Sozin shot lightning at Chan. The lightning entered his body, electrocuted him and killed him. Sozin turned his back and walked off of the Agni Kai ring. Azula found Sozin and laughed at Chan's demise.
"Did you have to kill him?" Ty Lee asked.
"No. but it certainly was fun" Sozin said demonically.
"Sure sounds like fun" Mai said.
"It was very fun to watch" Azula said.
"I almost wanted to keep shooting lightning at him, but I knew I didn't have to" Sozin said.
"How long can you hold a lightning bolt?" Azula asked.
"I don't know. Let's find out" Sozin said as he shot a lightning bolt into the sky. He held the bolt out for a very long time and didn't stop until he got bored of shooting lightning into the sky.
"I can hold lightning for as long as I need to" Sozin said. The 3 girls looked in envy as Sozin went to take the wheel of the ship. The 4 friends took a ship back to the Fire Nation capital without any other people, just the 4 of them. They were able to get back to the Fire Nation without any difficulties.
