Teacher vs. Student
Sozin was watching a display of Azula's purple Firebending and looked impressed at the power she displayed. After her display was finished Azula walked over to Sozin to get her review.
"You have been advancing very well with purple fire" Sozin said.
"I want to learn the next color of fire" Azula said.
"No. You are not ready" Sozin said.
"I am ready, and we both know it" Azula screamed.
"You want to learn the next color, here is your ticket. We will duel, at the Agni Kai chamber. It will not be an official Agni Kai but if you win, I will teach you the next color. But if you lose you will continue your training" Sozin said.
"Let's do this" Azula said and got ready for a duel.
Haru was outside training when he felt Toph come behind him.
"Is something bothering you Toph?" Haru asked without stopping his training.
"Yes. I want a rematch" Toph said and Haru smirked.
"Why would you want a rematch" Haru asked.
"You will get an answer if you defeat me again" Toph said.
"I accept" Haru said and laughed.
Meanwhile, inside the Jasmine Dragon, Zuko and Iroh were talking about how they were going to spend their day off.
"Uncle, do you mind us having a little duel, so I can practice against a true Firebending master?" Zuko asked. At first Iroh refused, but eventually accepted after much begging from Zuko, and also knowing the real reason Zuko wanted the duel.
Master Piandao was working with Sokka to recreate his sword that was lost in the battle of Wulong Forest. The sword was finally complete and Piandao presented Sokka with his new sword. Piandao smiled as Sokka started working with his new sword.
"Stop practicing and put your skills to the ultimate test" Piandao said.
Sozin and Azula took their places on opposite sides of the Agni Kai Chamber. They prepared for an epic duel and turned to face each other. Azula came out of the gates fast with barrages of her new purple Firebending, but Sozin deflected them with ease. Azula kept up with her attack but no attacks connected, leaving Azula worried.
Haru faced off against Toph in a battle that was about as 1 sided as it could get. Both Earthbenders were throwing rocks around, but Haru wasn't even fazed by Toph's relentless attack. Eventually Toph was forced on the defense, retreating from Haru. Haru followed Toph and continued with his assault.
Katara was in Zuko's corner, just like during his Agni Kai with Azula. Zuko turned to face his uncle and saw the fire around him increasing with every breath. Zuko attacked with a Fire Stream but it was blocked by Iroh. Zuko was outmatched but kept up his attack. Iroh's attack was slow and deliberate, unlike Zuko's which was quick and powerful.
Sokka took his sword and looked at his old master. Piandao took his sword and swung at Sokka. Sokka parried the shot and attacked Piandao but missed his target. Sokka remembered what he learned at the start of his training and jumped to the high ground. Sokka kept up his attack from the high ground. Piandao smiled and attempted to take Sokka's legs out from under him. Eventually Sokka was forced to jump off after his master landed a great shot to the ground below him. Sokka and Piandao locked swords with pure intensity.
Sozin was blocking all of Azula's attacks with ease and did not even launch an attack. Azula was getting frustrated at Sozin's refusal to attack. Azula ran toward Sozin and started firing fire at him from point blank range. After Azula's flurry Sozin smiled and prepared to go on the offence.
Haru attacked his sister and forced her on the run. Haru created rock walls surrounding Toph, making it so she could not escape. Whenever Toph tried to break one of the walls Haru recreated it before she could get through. Haru used rocks to cover up her limbs and stop her bending. Haru threw a huge rock at Toph but stopped it an instant before it hit her. Haru freed Toph and chuckled at the look on his sister's face.
"I won, by a long shot" Haru said as they walked back to the Jasmine Dragon.
Iroh was slowly gaining the upper hand on his nephew, but Zuko showed no signs of letting up. Zuko eventually saw his uncle getting tired, due to his old age, and attacked. Zuko used some basic Firebending moves and destroyed Iroh's legs with his Firebending. Iroh fell to the ground hard and acknowledged Zuko's victory, and smiled at the power and control his nephew executed. Zuko got a hug from Katara and helped his uncle up. The 3 master benders then walked to the jasmine dragon to meet Haru and Hakoda to talk about details about the invasion.
Piandao and Sokka kept up their amazing duel but Piandao was shocked how far Sokka had advanced with the way of the sword. Sokka's strikes became faster as he forced his old master on the defense. Sokka swiped quickly and knocked Piandao's sword out of his hands, knocking Piandao to the ground in the process. Sokka acknowledged his victory and helped his old master to his feet. They walked back inside the tea shop, with Piandao congratulating Sokka.
Sozin attacked Azula with purple fire, just to keep it even, and backed Azula down very quickly. They stood face to face and exchanged fire blasts, but none connected, due to the dodging speed of both warriors. Sozin recovered faster and attacked Azula, knocking her down and winning the battle with ease.
Every one returned to the Jasmine Dragon, after their duels were completed. Every pair, (Haru/Toph, Sokka/Piandao, Zuko/Iroh/Katara) told every one what happened with their duel. After that Sokka asked his father how his day was.
"With Suki's help, I was able to finish the invasion plan and we even had a chance to speak with the Earth King about it" Hakoda said. Haru was pleased with the news and got some tea. Haru called out cheers for every one.
"To our invasion of the Fire Nation, to the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes, and of course, to Hakoda, the leader of this last invasion" Haru said. Every one drank their tea and laughed at Sokka, whose tea got spilled on him, thanks to Momo. Every one then got some well deserved sleep, so they would be rested to see the Earth King again.
