"The Royal Fire Nation Court has finally come to a final conclusion." Sozai held his breath. This was what he was waiting for, for years. He could see his mother looking at him, with a confident smile.
"This court has decided that to decide on the final verdict, Crown Prince Sozai and Ex-Princess Azula are to fight in an Agni Kai-"
There was a massive out roar in the crowd; Sozai was underage to fight in an Agni Kai, Zuko made sure that no one under the age of 16 was able to fight in official Agni Kai.
"That is if they agree." The Judge finished. If Sozai refused, he would be safe, but he would he dishonoured and he would never again be taken seriously, plus he would be laughed at by none other than his mother and the world.
"I agree to the fire duel that is if the Crown Prince is." Azula said in somewhat polite tone.
There was a awkward and tense silence that filled the room, waiting the Prince's reply. "I accept the Agni Kai."
The room filled with chatters and arguments. Sozai didn't even notice the worried, questionable and confused look of his uncle, the old Team Avatar's members and their children, or either calming him down or looking like they were about to kill either Sozai or Azula.
Sozai and Azula exited in their separate exits, Sozai quickly sped off to the Agni Kai, servants hovering over him, taking off the official robes and replacing them with fighting robes, around his arms two golden rings.
"You can't be serious." Ursa jumped in front of the rushing servants.
"I've been waiting for this practically my entire life, it's time I show that woman that am not the helpless little boy, and what was I supposed say, 'sorry everyone, but I'm not fighting today, and I'm a coward.'"
Ursa looked convinced, but still worried. Suddenly Kya jumped out of the small crowd.
"No don't do this." She begged.
"Look, it's an honour thing, it's a shame that you don't understand." On Sozai's mind was one thing, beating Azula in the Agni Kai. The waterbender quickly pecked his lips and vanished. Sozai didn't stay in his shock for long, Ursa clicked her fingers in front of his face and the Prince proceeded to the arena.
His mother was already waiting and with her someone that Sozai couldn't quite make out as, it was either his death or his success.
