"Oh you really think so Zuko? I mean last time I checked your precious water bender was in pretty bad shape, how long do you really think she can keep this up? Not to mention the guards, Ty Lee, and Mai, charging at her now. I mean the way I see it, this force field you have around me wont last for more then another couple minutes. Next time I suggest looking into someone who's a bit stronger then that wench" Azula finished with a victorious smile, expecting to see a very angered Zuko, but instead he was smiling. He had a little more knowledge then Azula about water benders. "O if I were you I wouldn't be worried about her, she's the strongest bender I know, but you might want to be concerned about your little pose out there" Zuko finished with a equally victorious smile. "Alright then, lets get this over with, I'm ready to except my rightful place as Fire Lord" Azula bellowed, hands now flaming in blue. "Whatever you say sister" And with that, Zuko and Azula were battling it out. Streaks of orange and blue flying past one another, nearly always hitting there target, but then missing. Both of them were master Fire benders, therefore equals in the battlefield. With each blow, Azula was beginning to lose it again. Her hair had become untied and her eyes were now hazed over with destruction and hatred. Her bending was becoming sloppy, as she stumbled to stay upright. And within time, she ceased fire, staring at Zuko who was watching her ready for anything. He didn't understand why she had stopped until he realized the lava surrounding them was beginning to die. It was still there but Zuko could now see the inside of the prison, instead of the red lava walls. When he looked over, he saw Katara being attacked by what it seemed to be 10 guards. She was trying her best to fight them off with one hand and keep the Lava flowing with the other, but she was already injured and weak, he didn't know how much more she could take of this. "See Zuzu ha ha ha I told you, your little water bending princess is weak. Such a shame, pretty little thing, maybe after I kill you I'll spare her life, and feed them to the palace guards" Zuko was now confused, "we don't have palace guard dogs" he stated yet more questioned. "O Zuko, I never said dogs, I said guards and you do know how those men get o so hungry, especially for little water benders named Katara" Zukos eyes widen, how dare she ever use reference to Katara liked that. When did she even learn her name? How could she possibly say those things? His mind was now spinning out of control, trying to figure out what to do next. He had to act fast. He knew Katara had limited time before she lost everything. It seemed like everything was rushing by him faster then light, he saw Azula laughing like a maniac. Mai and Ty Lee waiting for the guards to finish Katara. Katara trying her best to stay conscious and in control and then the lava, slowly spinning around him. But within all this craziness, he locked eyes. Gold met blue. Katara and him locked eyes with one another, he didn't know how, she was near faint, but she gave him a little wink and a smile and that, that was all he needed. He thought of all the power he possibly could, all his anger, frustration, hatred, desperation, happiness, sadness and most importantly love, and Katara and harnessed it into something he never thought he'd be able to do. He created lightening. It electrified through his veins and blood as his hair began to blow in the gusty wind he was creating. It seemed everyone stopped from what they were doing and just watched. Azula just smirked. "You really think, you can actually kill me? Your too nice and too much of a pushover, you wouldn't dare" she seemed so confident. Reality was he didn't want to kill her, but the power was becoming to much, he couldn't keep awake much longer. He pointed his hand towards her and just like that she was gone as we he. Conciousness at least. The last thing he remembered was the lava, slowly getting summoned back towards the whole in the floor that it came from, Azula lightly gasping for air and saying "you win" as she falls to the floor in defeat. And Katara exhausted and badly hurt, running over to him after she took out what was left of the guards. She kneeled beside him, extracting the little bit of water left in her flask and running it over his body. Sure he had no injuries on the outside, but on the inside he was burnt, in more ways then one. When she has finished, she smiled down at him, gave him the lightest yet most passionate kiss and then laid down on his chest, but not before whispering "I love you".
