Chapter 10: A not so stupid idea

As they were resting on River's town, Ozai and Shaina were on the best house of the conquered city, on what looked like a little living room, the "Phoenix king" was resting on a sofa, then he looked at her fellow comrade arriving to the house as she was getting her helmet out

"You were silent since the battle with the forces of my son, we won, what was wrong?"

The images of that battle, the very moment in which Katara, Toph, Suki and Sokka set up that successful trap, putting her at the verge of losing were assaulting her head a lot

"I could have died."

Something that took Ozai by surprise "What? But we won, they ran away"

She shook her head "Lucky enough, thankfully the avatar of this era is still a child and I was able to manipulate him enough to make him not attacking me, yet before that I was at the verge of losing… I underestimated the power of the benders of this era, they're no joke."

Using her metal bending, Shaina removed the rest of her armor, revealing that she was using a lighter and a little more revealing one behind that

"Now what?"

"Resting, we acquired a really good number of soldiers, in order to continue our conquer efforts we need to replenish forces."

"We were advancing really well until that battle, I don't want to rest Shaina, I need battle!"

As Ozai earned a slap on the face, wanting to retaliate, he looked at Shaina's hand that she was ready to fight, lightning was on her hand

"Stupid psychopath, calm down before I do what I already did with those who opposed me… I'm human, I and everyone else need rest and now I realized that I'm still vulnerable, even you."

But Ozai baffled "… I could have won the battle against my son."

"No, you wouldn't" Memories of the battle were coming to their heads "While I was fighting against the other avatar, I was able to watch from upside some parts of your battle, you think that you're invincible even if you just took back your powers from me days ago, The fire lord on the other hand was getting the best out of you."

"He left the battlefield…"

"To stop me and save his owns, he is truly a leader as opposite as you" silence coming from her comrade "I want you training tomorrow, you need those powers to become bigger more than ever."

She was treating him like a beginner, how can this be?! "Training you say?"

"Yes, and I will teach you everything I know about lightning bending, your knowledge is pretty basic."

As she was going out of the place, Ozai couldn't think of anything more that he was being used as a toy

"Weren't you tired?"

"I am, but still I need some other things to do."

Walking through the streets of that town gave testament of the fear she produced on the people, even without her armor, the avatar from the future, Shaina, was a force to be recognized, as the people were hiding from her on their houses, just looking at her with fear

"I managed to treat them like what they are, just sheep."

Finally, she arrived to the house she wanted to arrive, once open, inside were Milly and Ty Lee on a little room, once the two saw her, both were a little shocked

"Shaina!" both said

"Don't get surprised, I need to talk with the two of you" the three ladies took seat "As we are getting stronger getting more troops, we will eventually need to assault the big cities of the Earth Kingdom, but once we go to Ba Sing Se, I will need someone to rescue Azula.

"Yes, you were not lying after all" Milly was happy for hearing that

"What, Azula?" Ty Lee asked

Something that caught Shaina off surprise "Do you know her?"

The acrobat didn't want to answer, but against Shaina, she had no option "We were good friends until some years ago, things happened"

"Perfect, you can go on her rescue mission"

The idea of meeting her former friend/now enemy was terryfing for Ty Lee, even after Milly interfered

"Excuse me miss Shaina, I was working with Azula since some time ago, maybe I can go"

"If you want to go with Ozai I have no problem"

That froze the poor girl, and putting Ty Lee on a predicament, sure she was not friends with Milly, but if she didn't want to go…

"I go" Ty Lee finally said

"Perfect, and don't worry, you will have time to relax and think on a strategy, first we have to go to the swamp and then to Omashu" Shaina then stood up "Enjoy the rest of the night"

Once she left, the two girls got some relief, but Ty Lee was upset and Milly noticed that "Thanks for helping me, Shaina is a little terrifying sometimes but not as much as Ozai"

Ty Lee looked at her "Well, what can I do? We are on the same team after all"

"Yes, and please, save Azula, she needs us a lot"

Once Milly left the living room, the acrobat looked at the roof "I wonder how the others will be doing by now" she started to feel sleepy, so she also went outside of the room, a fresh breath of wind touched her face "And my destiny, which would be?"

…

At morning chaos started on the palace as Katara noticed that Aang left the palace

"I cannot believe it, I told him not to do this!"

She went out in order to start a new travel, but on the outside, she met with an also furious Zuko, as she asked

"What happened?"

"Is Jin, she left the palace at night, damn I told her to just talk with Aang in order to teach her earth bending but she didn't like the idea."

The coincidences were leading them to one route "… Maybe not, look at this."

Katara gave him a letter from Aang, the message was clear, he wanted to go to Ba Sing Se

"And if Jin considered my idea… no… this is bad, totally wrong" The fire lord was not sure on what to think

"Don't you think that it is possible? I mean, with what was happening all this time, that maybe the two of them are cheating us."

The idea started to grow on Zuko's mind on that moment "We need to make another travel to the earth kingdom..."

…

But after 3 days of traveling, little did Katara and Zuko know that their lovers were doing anything but cheating, in fact, they were having a lot of fun on Omashu's package service, being used as giant sliders

"!AAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJA; THIS IS AMAZING!- Aang was screaming"

Well, at least Aang, but Jin was frightened "I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS THING!"

And they did after finishing the travel, Jin had to puke but Aang was totally ok

"Now is time to visit Bumi."

Moments later, the two of them were visiting the king, who was having a buffet on that moment

"My dear friend" the old king hugged the avatar after receiving him

"Whoa, you're, really old" Jin said

"Oh, and you're such a beauty jejeje, Aang please."

"Right, Bumi, she is Jin, Jin he is my friend Bumi."

The lady made a reverence "Is a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine, but I don't understand, why she is with you… did you broke up with the beautiful Katara?"

Something that surprised the two youngsters, and embarrassed Aang "No, that's not what happened!"

Then Jin interfered "What I want coming here is to learn earth bending from you, I've heard that you're the greatest earth bender in the world."

The crazy Bumi laughed on that moment "Jajaja well, I think that, but what about Toph?" that question made both Aang and Jin sad "What happened?"

"She was my first teacher but… during a battle her two arms were cut off, and while she was able to recover them, she lost her earth bending."

And of course, that was a shocker for the king "Oh… oh no, for a bender to lose their powers is like losing their hearts, poor kid, for sure it should be hearth breaking."

"Can you help us Bumi? You're the best option right now" Aang asked

"What about you?"

"I have another mission now so I can't, in order to beat the evil avatar, I need to learn the sub arts from the elements, so I cannot lose time."

Bumi of course knew what he was talking about "Oh, the other avatar, Kuei gave me a message about that, looks like the biggest threat since Ozai…"

"And to add that Ozai is her ally…" Jin said

Silence for some seconds "Ok, the evil avatar is now a serious candidate as the biggest threat the world has ever faced, I will train you pretty girl."

"For real? That's amazing!" both Jin and Aang clapped hands

"Just take in consideration, I'm 115 years old, I could die on any moment jajajaja" and he coughed "But we will take advantage of all the time we have."

Moments later and outside Bumi's palace, Aang was already on Appa's loin

"I must leave now, Bumi, Jin, I wish you success on this training."

But Jin had a question to do "Wait, I don't know Azula really much, but about what I've heard from Zuko, how will you convince her to help you?"

Aang was thinking for some seconds, then he had an idea "Touching her on a sensible nerve, Yip yip!"

As the flying bison was flying, Bumi asked to Jin "Well lady, how much of earth bending did you learned from Toph?"

"Uuuummmm" she took some little stones from her pocket and started to make them flying on circle with her two hands "This" and gave a really big smile

Something that make Bumi laugh a lot "Jajajajaja that's promising, now is time to start your new training, I promise that with me you will get really good results."

After two other days of travelling, Aang, Appa and Momo arrived to Ba Sing Se, the avatar went directly to talk with Kuei, who was not sure of that idea

"But if she attacks?"

"I can manage her, I'm still stronger than Azula, but she has a technique that I don't."

Not like on that situation the king would hesitate on helping as much as possible "Fine, I will give you the authorization, but she will only get out just for training."

And then to the prison, Aang gave the letter to the Dai Li who were not sure on obeying that, but they had no option, as they group arrived to the prison and then to the door in which that certain someone was, one of the agents said

"Hey traitor, the avatar wants to talk with you."

Some seconds of silence, but then she answered "Oh, what could be the reason that someone like the avatar would want to talk with me?"

"Because you will help me now, I need you to teach me lightning bending."

Something that made Azula burst on laugh "Jajaja, don't joke with me kid!"

Aang looked at himself for some seconds "Well, I'm a teenager now."

"Whatever, I will never help you, get out of here."

It was on that moment that the avatar decided to apply his plan, touch her sensible nerves

"Maybe you don't want you vengeance against your father and the evil avatar" again, silence "You're hurt Azula and I know that because Zuko told me, you experienced a little of what he experienced, and you cannot manage it, you want revenge but staying here will not give you the chance that I'm giving to you"

"…And why I have to teach you?"

"Because I will get rid of the evil avatar, you can take revenge on your father, I promise you."

…

And she started to think "…My father, I loved him, I trusted him more than anyone else in the world, yet still he left me behind when I needed him on my darkest hour, our family surely is such a disaster."

"So…"

On a situation like this one, there was not so many options for her, it was spending lots of years inside of a prison, or at least having some days of fresh air, an obvious choice for anyone, even for her

"…Fine…"

"Great!"

As the agents opened the door, there she was, without any makeup, with her hair a little longer than before and her entire aspect ruined, Azula stood up looking fiercely to Aang

"You know that this is such a stupid idea, avatar."

"Everyone told me that, Zuko, Katara, Jin."

"Who is Jin?"

"Zuko's new girlfriend."

"Oh, Mai would be heartbroken if she learns that-"Aang didn't even care about that "Well, in order to understand the lightning first, you need to know that it is the fastest attack coming from any bending style, so the first thing you have to do is to avoid a lighting."

"Sounds easy, when do we start?"

"Now."

As fast as she could, she shoot a lighting directly to Aang, as he was close, he was barely able to avoid it, the lightning clashed against a wall and because of that, the Dai Li were ready to attack Azula, but Aang stopped them

"Wait, she said that it was only a lesson!"

As the three, and now including Momo, were surprised after hearing Azula clapping

"Good job, now is time to teach you how to start… but this place is horrible and I don't think that these clothes will help me."

"Uuuuummmm, can you help us?" Aang asked to the Dai Li

After what Aang asked to the agents, moments later both him and Azula were outside, now the otrora princess was now on adequate clothes to train

"Aaahhhh, now this feels better."

"Great, ready to shoot lightnings."

"Just don't forget this avatar, I'm doing this to obtain my vengeance over my father, not because I will be your friend."

"Well no one knows, I managed to become friends with your brother."

Azula didn't say anything "In order to start you must have clear something, Lightning is the purest form of energy, we have lightning in our bodies so, in order to produce more we need to be cold, calmed and calculate, and use our fingers like antennas, like this."

Azula made a gun gesture with one of her hands, Aang did the same

"Is easy."

"To start you need to concentrate as much fire as possible in the tip of your fingers, but the fire must be small" Aang followed the steps "Think about this, what do you think when doing fire?"

"On emotions, my friends, the desire from protecting them."

"Forget about that, just think about the pure power coming from the fire, and start concentrating it, the chemical reaction will do the rest."

Easier said than done, as Aang would notice that, even if he was being successful on concentrating the fire on one point, he couldn't advance from that point, after some minutes he stopped

"Pretty difficult."

Something that of course would disappoint someone as perfectionist as Azula "Tell me, what do you think it failed?"

"Well, I was thinking that…"

And a really cold answer coming from her "Exactly, I told you not to think, didn't you pay attention to that?" something that caught Aang off guard "Oh well, not like I expected you to do it fine at the first try."

"Uuuhhh, thanks?"

"Try again" but at expense of Azula's patience, Aang failed again to produce a little lightning "Damn, you're pathetic."

"Well, not like I saw someone doing that."

"Fine, I cannot believe that I have to do it, ok look at this."

Azula decided to play a little with her own bending, first a regular little flame, then blue and regular again

"You're just changing colors."

"Yeah, you caught me, now pay attention."

As easily as it could be, Azula started to turn the little flame into a spark, after just some seconds, the spark was at its fullest on the tip of her fingers

"Whoa, impressive."

"Now you have the example, is your turn."

During the entire day, making Azula really bored as sunset was coming, Aang tried as hard as he could to bend at least a little spark, but as the princess was starting to leave…

"I'm doing it!"

Little sparks were coming from the flame as it was reducing its height and being replaced by a little lightning

"Ufff, finally, I thought that it would take all day" but as Aang was trying to move it, the lightning disappeared "Is not that easy isn't it?"

"How much time did it take to you to shoot your first lightning?"

"One week."

He felt the pressure after hearing that "That's too little time."

"It was because I'm perfect, little kid" Aang just said nothing "Whatever, you took pretty long in order to produce a little spark."

"It is because is not really easy to be cold blooded as you."

"It has nothing to do with cold blood, otherwise people like my late uncle Iroh wouldn't be capable on producing lightning, just don't think on anything less than the attack…" Then Azula looked at the sky "well is late."

"Yeah, I guess so" Her new master would leave the place "Where are you going?"

"To my jail, where else?"

Aang realized that his question was pretty stupid, as he had to go to rest also, Kuei of course would lend him a house on the high ring of the city.

But as the next day came and the training session with Azula started, both noticed that a globe from the fire nation was arriving to the city

"I thought that all of those were destroyed" Azula said

"Yeah, they were, maybe it is a reserve."

As the continued with the training little they would know that coming to the jail, both Katara and Zuko made their arrival

"Katara, Zuko?"

"I told you Aang to not come here!" Azula greeted her brother with a hand gesture

"Why did you do that?" Katara asked a little desperate

But Aang would answer on a serious way "Because you two gave me no choice."

"Right, to come here and worry both of us" Said the water bender

"The two?" Aang asked

"Where is Jin?" Zuko asked

Aang then realized why "Oh, her?"

"Yes, and please no more lies Aang" Katara started to cry a little "As you two escaped together from the city, we don't deserve this."

"Wait, is that…" Maybe Aang was still a little childish, but even he would know what they were thinking about "Hold on, I would be unable to do something like that Katara, you know that I love you."

"Then, where is my girlfriend? We have reasons to suspect" Zuko crossed his arms

As the fire lord asked that, Aang rapidly answered "On Omashu."

Hearing that made the fire lord to realize why Jin would be travelling with Aang "Wait, on Omashu?"

"Aang, that doesn't sound convincing" the water master said "Please tell us the truth."

"No, he is saying the truth, Bumi is there" Zuko slapped his own face "Why I didn't just write a letter to King Bumi to help Jin? I'm so stupid."

"Both of you are" Azula finally interfered "It was funny to see you two being jealous, but is even more that the two didn't just analyzed the entire situation."

"Why don't you just shut up Azula?" But Zuko stopped the water bender "Zuko?"

"Sadly, she is saying the truth, for the first time on her life, both of us acted really stupidly."

Silence for some seconds, Katara asked to her boyfriend, being ashamed of her own actions "How are things going?"

"Pretty well, in fact, I'm able to produce some sparks by now." And he showed what he was capable now "See?"

"So, you were right all this time about this idea."

"Fortunately, I was" Aang said with a smile "Zuko, Katara, I committed mistakes in the past, but something that I will never do is to treason the confidence that you gave me, still, I'm sorry for making you worry, even I was a little desperate"

"Just please don't do it again." Zuko asked

The three friends hugged together, but looking all of this, Azula mimicked a puke scene

"Disgusting."

As they heard that, the hug was broken, Katara said "I will stay here until your training with Azula is complete, just to get sure that nothing gets out of control."

"For me is fine" the air bender said

"Whatever" Azula added

"And I have to go back to the fire nation, but first a little visit to Omashu."

"But on the globe, it would take at least one week to arrive from Ba Sing Se and without stopping" Aang said "Wait, how did you manage to arrive faster?"

"Druk helped us by pulling the globe, and he wanted to fly freely for some moments" the dragon then made apparition from the sky, roaring to Azula once he saw her "Here he is, my friend, have success in your new mission."

As that, Aang was able to continue his lightning bending training, but what could happen later on the future?
