"Well, if it isn't the little Water Tribe wench." Azula said, disdainfully, as she walked over and crossed her arms. Katara whipped around to face Azula, the person who was to be her sister-in-law. Her azure held rage while Azula's saffron ones, along with her expression, showed a deadly calm.
"Azula..." Katara said, rage evident in her normally calm voice.
"Your father is dead." The princess of the Fire Nation casually told the Water Tribe princess, like she was talking about the weather. Azula noticed that a hair was out of place and calmly put it back in place. On the outside, she seemed that she wasn't preparing for an attack, but, on the inside, she was like a spring, ready to strike.
"You're lying!" The waterbender yelled and reached for the water. She quickly bent a long stream of water out from the ocean and lashed it towards Azula. The daughter of the now deceased Fire Lord Ozai quickly jumped out of the way and landed gracefully on her feet.
"Oh, am I?" She asked, "Why don't you just go to the palace and see for yourself." Azula smirked, she was trying to hit one of Katara's weak spots, but it didn't seem to be working.
"I can't deal with you right now!" She yelled at Azula, "Leave or I won't hold back!" Katara brought forth ocean water and wrapped it around her arms.
"Well, I can't let you leave alive." Azula replied as she got into her fighting stance and blue flames appeared in her fists. The two women ignored the sounds of the battle between the Fire Nation and Water Tribe, right now, it was just the two of them. Both knew it was a fight to the death and were prepared to take the other down.
Katara quickly lashed one of her arms out and made the water grab Azula's leg. She started to lift the other up, but Azula quickly punched blue flames at the tentacle, breaking it, and she landed harmlessly onto the ground. Azula quickly shot a wave of blue flames at Katara, who created a wall of ice, effectively blocking the attack.
The flames were in the air for a few more seconds before Katara attacked again. She quickly created ice daggers and shot them at Azula. The princess shot a well aimed blast of blue flames at the daggers, melting them into something harmless. Katara took a few deep breaths and felt the moon giving her more power, the two were equally matched before, but, now, the tables had just turned. The waterbender quickly spun her arms, which created a massive wave of ocean water. She quickly sent it at Azula, hoping to sweep her into the depths of the sea. The princess quickly created a massive wall of blue flames, turning most of the water into steam. She got hit by some of it and fell down, but quickly stood back up. Azula knew that failure wasn't an option as she quickly glanced at the full moon and her eyes slightly widened for a split second.
The princess created blue fire daggers in her hands and ran towards Katara, lashing out with the intensely heated fire daggers, hoping to burn the Water Tribe princess. Katara saw and quickly got into a low fighting stance, pulling steam from the air and turning it back into water as she did so. She was hoping to trip Azula, but, sadly, the other noticed and quickly kicked blue flames at Katara's head.
Katara rolled out of the way and grabbed Azula's leg with the new created water whip. She quickly threw her opponent near the water's edge, then created a huge wave to take her to the bottom of the ocean. Azula's saffron eyes widened in fear, she knew this would be her last moments if she didn't act fast. The princess tried to quickly create a massive wall of blue flames, but, sadly, wasn't quick enough. She was swept into the ocean, it was an honorable death, but it still was a weak way to die. Katara watched Azula be dragged out to sea before running in the direction she saw Zuko run.
"Katara, where are you going?!" Sokka asked her, worry evident in his voice.
"I'll be back!" She yelled at him as she continued to run up the hill.
"Men! I order you to stop!" Zuko yelled at the soldiers as they shot flames at the Water Tribe's wooden ships, but they didn't obey him.
"We're following orders from Princess Azula." The men told him and it was now clear who they were loyal to. They were loyal to the two most ruthless people in all the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula. Zuko was soon frustrated so he quickly ran off towards the rhinos. Katara saw him, the man she truly loved, running towards the rhinos. She ran after him, sure, she had to take down a few soldiers on her way, but that didn't really matter to her at the moment. The prince skillfully and quickly kicked a soldier off of their rhino and jumped onto the saddle.
"Katara!" He yelled above the noises of war and made the rhino run towards her.
"Zuko!" She yelled back and stopped running. Suddenly, another rhino shoved Zuko's rhino over the cliff. He tried to jump off in time, but, like his sister, wasn't quick enough. Sadly, Zuko fell over the edge with the rhino, "Zuko!" Katara yelled again as she ran towards the edge of the cliff where her beloved fell off. Tears formed in her azure eyes as she looked over the edge and didn't see him.
"Katara!" Her brother yelled as he ran over to her and put his hand on her shoulder, "Come on! We've gotta go. Now!" He told her and his little sister took a deep breath.
"Alright, Sokka." She said and the two started running back towards the non-destroyed ships. Katara had to brutally harm a few Fire Nation soldiers as they ran back. They quickly ran onto one of the main ships right before the ships set sail again with everyone the survivor's on board. Sokka walked to his room on the ship, he knew nothing he could say would help his sister in anyway.
Katara stood on the ship's deck, the wind make her hair and dress blow to the side as she looked up at the moon. Her hand was clutching Zuko's necklace near her heart, she missed him so already. She took a deep breath and stopped looking at the moon to tie the necklace around her slender neck. Katara looked back up at the moon one last time that night before going to her chambers on the ship.
Author's Note: Hate it? Like it? Love it? There is still an epilogue and happyzuko will write that when she stops being a lazy bum!
