Chapter 9: The Worshiper and the Frankenstein
-Dungeon of the Fire Nation grand palace-
Zuko was standing in the dungeon of his palace in front of the barred gate of the cell that held his father, the former Fire lord Ozai. Both men glaring at each other intensely.
"You look like you've lost some weight." Zuko noted, noticing that his 'father' had become rather thin in the past few months.
"No thanks to the garbage I'm forced to call 'food' that I'm being given." Ozai growled in reply.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but this is a dungeon not an inn. So you'll eat whatever the guards bring to you." The new Fire Lord snapped at the former. "Honestly, at least Azula has the decency and dignity to not complain about her current situation."
This caught Ozai's attention. "Where is your sister?" He asked.
"Someone did something with Liu Ten's genes and the genetic material of the first Fire Lord, Tai Tsung, and made a clone from them." Zuko explained. "His name is Oboro, and Azula's with him."
"... I don't know how I should feel about that." The former fire lord admitted.
"I don't know what they're doing, but all I know is that it helps keep Azula on a leash without me having to keep an eye on her." Zuko shrugged, before getting up from the seat he was in. "I suggest you try and accept your new state in life, because it's not changing anytime soon." He told the man as he left.
"Zuko…" A familiar female monotone voice said behind him, causing the young man to nearly jump out of his skin. Spinning around quickly, he soon found himself face to face with his girlfriend, Mai.
"Mai? Why are you here?" He asked as he tried to calm his heart.
"I could be asking you the same thing." Mai told him, her arms folded. "You weren't down there with your dad again, were you? You know how I feel about that." She told him.
"Sorry. It's still hard to break that habit." Zuko apologized with a sigh.
"Well you better stop it." The girl told him before kissing him on the cheek.
"I'm trying." The young Fire Lord replied with a chuckle as they walked away from the dungeon.
"Hey, you heard from your cousin lately?" Mai asked.
"No." He told her, shaking his head. "... Can't imagine what those two could be doing in an abandoned library in the middle of the desert though." He added.
If he only knew…
(Meanwhile)
-Wong Shi Tong's library-
Right now both Oboro and Azula were on the bank of their new underground shark spring and they were both currently having hot and wild sex, with the black flame user pounding the hell out of the princess's ass.
"Why the hell didn't I do this sooner?! Your ass is amazing!" Oboro groaned as he kept pounding away at her ass.
"Oh this feels great! Yes, keep going!" Azula moaned as he gripped her neck tightly. Though unbeknownst to them, Shayu had just surfaced at the wrong time from inside the pool. As soon as he saw the two going at it on the shoreline, he dived back under the water with only one thought.
"... Nope, not today." He said to himself. 'Fuck this shit, I'm out.'
"Did you hear something?" The Dark Avatar asked as he pushed his girlfriend down lower onto the ground so her face met the rock surface.
"No, and I don't care! Just keep fucking my ass!" She ordered with a moan as her face rested on the rocks.
"Okay, just know that when I'm through, you're not gonna be able to walk right for a week!" He told her as he went into overdrive and started pounding her so hard, her pelvis was starting to bruise.
"I DON"T! CARE! JUST FUCK ME SO HARD I'LL BE BEDRIDDEN FOR A WEEK!" The blue flame user screamed in bliss as her ass was pounded. "OOOOOOOH YEEEEEEES! Don't stop!" She screamed more.
"Azula, I'm gonna cum!" Oboro groaned.
"IN ME! IN ME! NOWHERE ELSE EXCEPT IN ME!" The horny princess screamed. A moment later, the Dark Avatar sent his load into her ass and made her scream until her throat was sore from all the screaming she had done. After the boy's climax ended, they both collapsed onto the rocks and breathed heavily from their lovemaking.
"So Obie, what did you think of your first time in my ass?" Azula asked with a purr as she looked back at him.
"... I wanna tap that ass of yours again." He replied after a moment, right before hoisting her up and held her up and pulled out of her ass before he shoved himself into her pussy and started pounding her up against the wall while she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Oboro… Stop, I'm not sure if it's safe or not-!" She started to say before he silenced her with his lips.
"What did I say about telling me no?" He asked her sternly, thrusting slow but hard now.
"To… Not… Say… No!" Azula gasped with every thrust. "I'm gonna, I'm gonna, Cum!" She screamed. As she came again, so did Oboro inside her wet snatch. "Aaaaah… Ohhhh yesss!" She moaned in bliss as she rested her head in the nape of his neck as he held her. "So good." The girl smiled before she and Oboro started making out. "Mmmm, is this what real love feels like? I think I like it."
"So do I." The Dark Avatar agreed as they laid there, basking in each other's company.
"So, I assume today we'll be going after more members?" The blue flame user asked.
"Yeah, I've been researching a couple and I think I found two candidates." Oboro nodded.
"That being?" She questioned.
"A criminal from the Fire Nation's Death Row, and a worshipper of the Blood Spirit, Jashin who lives in a swamp that Aang told me about." Oboro told her. "Those two will be our next two members."
"Oooh, sounds dangerous." Azula smirked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and French kissed him. "I can't wait." She purred.
"Neither can I." Oboro replied with a grin as they continued making out.

At the western air temple, Aang was busy trying to fix things, but he just couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. Reaching for his staff he whirled around and was expecting someone, but saw no one.
"I wasn't behind you." A voice said, causing Aang to face him, and came face to face with one of Itami's Sevens, who was tossing a scroll in his hand. "You really should learn to not leave your temples unattended, makes it easy for things to get stolen." He added, slipping the scroll into his cloak.
"Who are you?" Aang demanded as he brandished his staff, ready to fight.
"I am Itami, I am pain. That is all you need to know." The Seven said before he held out his hand. "Almighty Push." He intoned, right before an unseen and massive force pushed Aang away from the man and blasted him off the ledge of the temple.
"What the heck was that?!" The air nomad shouted in shock as he activated his glider. Gliding back to where he was previously, the person was gone, and he still had no idea what he wanted, or what was on the scroll he took.
(Elsewhere)
With Azula and Oboro, they were at the Boiling Rock again and were in the middle of getting the warden, Mai's uncle, to bring them to the section designated for Death Row convicts.
"Here we are. Not sure why you wanna see him, but whatever." He shrugged indifferently.
"We'll take it from here." Oboro said as he and Azula entered the cell and were rather disturbed by what they saw.
Sitting alone in the cell was a man who for lack of a better term, looked like he was literally held together with patches and stitches. His pale brown skin made him look like a pale version of Sokka, with a single line of hair going down the center of his head, and he also had sickly yellow eyes.
This was Xiàn, he was in this cell because he was the only death row convict to be able to force himself to stay alive. Hence why he was stitched up like he was. Mutilation, quartering, poisoning, burning, electrocution, even suffocation and drowning, this monster survived it all.
"Are you here to try and kill me, too? Save your energy. It won't work." He said in a gruff tone.
"Pft, please. As if we'd waste our time. We're not here to kill you." Azula scoffed.
"We're here to offer you something." Oboro added.
"And what, pray tell, would that be?" The stitched man asked.
"Just a spot on our organization, the Order of the Black Lotus. There you can be free to do some real change." Azula explained, before smirking. "Or you can just stay here and rot in this cell, your choice." She shrugged.
The man mulled it over in his head for a few moments. On one hand, he could finally stop being subjected to boring executions and finally breath fresh air again. On the other hand… Actually, that was about it.
"... As long as I can get out of this cell? Sure." Xian shrugged.
Oboro smiled. "Welcome aboard, Xian."
(Elsewhere)
In the Winding Swamp, a place where the world connects from all corners. Shayu, The Sevens, Xie Zhou, and Bakudan were in the middle of trying to find the next candidate. A fanatical worshipper of the Blood Spirit Jashin, named Hidan.
"Is it just me, or does it seem like we've been walking in circles?" Bakudan asked.
"It's not just you." Xie nodded.
"Even with my attunement to the vibrations in water, I can't make heads or tales of this place." Shayu said as he kept looking around, using his water bending to walk on top of the water.
"I see fog moving in." One of the Sevens said.
"Everyone be careful." Another of the Sevens added warily. Not a moment after that, the fog surrounded them and when it cleared, they all found themselves alone at different parts of the swamp.
"Huh?/What?/How?/Where?" They all said as they looked around, they were all lost. Shayu looked around before he started walking again, right until he stopped and saw an elderly northern water tribe man with long white hair and a long white beard.
"Master Paku?" He said in confusion before he grinned and brought out his sword. "Finally, I'll get to turn you to ribbons!" He shouted gleefully as he charged forward and swung… only for his sword to actually turn a tree into splinters. "... What?" He asked dumbly.
Looking around he saw that there was no one there. "What's goin on?" He asked himself.
With Xie, she wasn't experiencing any illusions, but she did feel anxiety from the ten years she spent here during her period of writer's block.
"Just don't think…" She told herself.
With the Sevens, they were walking in the swamp, until they saw a boy with orange hair, blue eyes and a kind smile standing in front of them.
"... Yahiko?" They gasped in shock at the sight of their long dead friend. The figure smiled happily at them before the fog rolled in again, and with that, it disappeared.
Finally with Bakudan, he was walking through the swamp until he came across a man with long grey hair, brown eyes, and light skin, who was in a black cloak and was carrying a chain sickle in his hands, who was drawing a circle with a triangle in the center of it, in blood on the ground.
This was Hidan, the man they were looking for.
"Well well well… A new sacrifice for Jashin." The man said with a wicked grin on his face.
Bakudan seemed uneasy at first before one of his hand mouths spat out some of his explosive clay.
"Take this!" He yelled as he hurled the clay at the man. Seeing the clay, Hidan shrugged it off under the assumption that it wasn't dangerous… Which he instantly regretted when it literally blew up in his face.
"What the-?!" He gasped as he skidded backwards. Right in front of Shayu.
"Good, a real person for me to turn to ribbons with my sword!" He grinned before he swung his sword at Hidan and hit him into his arm and sent him flying.
"AGH! You asshole! I'll enjoy sacrificing you!" The blood spirit worshiper growled as he recovered from the blow.
However he soon found himself in a funnel of what looked to be slips of paper that had the symbol for 'bomb' on them. They were paper bombs.
"Oh shit…" Hidan groaned as the paper bombs blew up and sent him soaring backwards again as Xie started reforming out of paper.
"And now he's all yours, Itami." She said as the man slid on the ground right in front of all seven Itamis.
"Of course." Said airbender nodded as he looked at Hidan. "Now you see that you are both out matched and outnumbered, do you give up?" The Sevens questioned. Hidan, seeing that he was clearly outmatched, hesitantly did so.
"Alright, you guys win. What do you want from me?" He conceded with great reluctance on his part.
Itami simply reached out one of his hands and helped him up. "Simple, we wish for you to join us in helping us cause change through chaos." He explained.
Hidan looked at the man while he considered this proposal.
"Change through chaos… Why do I like the sound of that?" He wondered in thought.
"Come with us and you can figure that out for yourself." Itami told him, who nodded in return as they led him back to the hideout.
But as they left, the same Venus flytrap slowly started rising out of the swamp and opened up to show the same two colored man.
"It looks like they're almost finished." The white side said.
"Yeah. When they've got their other members recruited, that's when we make ourselves known." The black half said.
"That is what the mistress said to do." Shrugged the White half as they slowly descended back into the ground.
(Elsewhere)
Aang was now at the Southern Air Temple looking through scroll after scroll with Sokka accompanying him. They were looking for anything that referenced a technique called the Almighty Push.
"Hey Aang, I don't get it. Why are we looking for a scroll that has a move like that on it? I mean, didn't you say that that technique was a forbidden one?" Sokka questioned as Momo flew on top of his head. "Not now, Momo I'm busy." He said, shooing the lemur away.
"I did. That's why we need to get it back before the one who took it can put it to use." The bald boy replied.
"Wait, I thought you were the only Airbender left?" The Warrior asked.
"So did I. There must be something that I missed without noticing, though what it is, I don't know." Aang sighed.
Things just went from mundane, to worrying really fast.
Dragon Emperor0: Just a little prelude guys, that Almighty Push technique is gonna be really important come the finale of this book, Book 1: Fire. So, brace yourselves.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. It's gonna be chaotic when it happens. Also, the Black Lotus continues to grow.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah, that's only three members to go now until we can finally gear up for the finale of book 1.
ThermalsniperN7: Yep. Can't wait for when that time comes. Writing that is gonna be so fun. See you guys next time!
