"You have to pay for.." she was cut off by a man standing right behind her with a stern look.
" What's going on here?"
Aang realized that the voice was familiar to the girl and for a moment he felt he saw fear on her face. "Today gonna be a memorable day"he whispered to himself.
In all this chaos his friend Bumi and Kuzon reached the accidental site smashing the felt relief seeing their friend is in no-harm condition.
"Aang are you okay?" they both said with a worried look.
"Yeah,yeah what about y..." Aang was stopped in his midsentence by a strong group hug by his friends.
"You must have die saving us! You know that!you were suppose to die by my hands my friend!" Said kuzon hugging him again making everyone there laugh.
"Yeah if you die we die"said Bumi with a animated pose making Aang chuckle."And thanks for throwing kuzon into that pond"
"Yeah because of your stupid blur eyes we all suffered from these"said kuzon pointing a finger towards Bumi.
"Wait, what?"said Aang with a confused look.
"The guy with his girl was her father" said kuzon at which the whole corridor started laughing.
"Silence" a voice strong enough to quickly quite the whole place.
"Azula what's going on?"
"Father that boy crash through the window with the dirt van and started a fight with me as I stop him destroying our place" Azula stated pointing a finger towards Aang.
"Look I'm sorry sir,it was because of an unfortunate accident that I ended up here, nothing was done purposely" Aang said while he was still trying to process the girl name was Azula or Zula.
"How dare you to started a fight with my daughter"
"Sir she is lying"
"You street rats should know what happens when you disrespect the royal firenation family"
It was well enough for the three of them to learn they were in a big trouble with one who was head of the Agni company Ozai! Somehow they thought the door to the spirit world was right befor them.
"Look we know your ozai,oozoi or whatever but you don't have the right to treat us like that"said Bumi standing straight infront of Aang.
Kuzon who knew Bumi's statement was not valid as they were the wrong one,he choose to reassure Aang who was trying to digest the death look of Azula's.
"Aang is that girl hitting on you"kuzon whispered while checking on him.
"It's more like hitting to death"aang said,they swear they must been rolling on the floor while laughing but no..
"How dare you to talk like that to my father!"said Azula stomping ahead to give Bumi a punch in his face which she failed.
"You want to fight me,I'm ready but don't ever try to hurt my best friend!" Aang stated catching Azula hand and pushing her two step back. The working people which were gathered due to the chaos gasped at the scene.
"Father we don't have to do this"said a boy standing next to Ozai.
"Zuko your sister is not a coward like you,she is a prodigy and you better not do this again" said ozai making zuko head lower in shame.
"So what's the rule?"said kuzon standing right next to Aang who was thinking this all was wrong
"Yeah we don't have much time " said Bumi making the father and daughter duo angry .
"The first one to fall on the back loses,and grants punishment from the other" Azula stated in her tough royal tone.
Aang nodded in agreement and they both stood in their fighting crowd made it a real battle due it's presence as they were all supporting Azula due to Ozai and booing at Aang.
The fight started in professional hand to hand combat. Azula was launching fierce attacks,punches,kick, upper cut while on the other side Aang was dodging all of them without dropping a crowd was now admiring Aang for his fighting style that is 'No being touchy'.
Azula being able to understand this stopped herself.
Aang on the other side stand still in his opponent were now indulge in an intense staredown with greed of winning on the golden side and no fear of losing on the grey side.
Azula was the one to start it again, this time she did something more then Aang expectations as she shot a blue fire ball towards Aang.
"Aaanggg!" said his friends with concern who were too shocked seeing blue flames for the first time.
Aang was unable to dodge the flames which lit his hoodie on fire,to avoid burn he quickly removed it until he was kicked in the stomach making trembled and falling on the realised if didn't to anything he will be defeated quickly, airbended himself on his foot.
There was pin drop silence in the crowd which was treated with many surprises,first the blue fire than the airbending.
"So you're an Airbender" said Azula looking at the shirtless boy standing in front of her.
"Yes"said Aang bringing his hands together"I am an Airbender"with this he bended a huge air ball towards Azula who tried to stop it with her bending but to her surprise Aang pulled out an airbending slice which ended in falling not only Azula but all people standing behind her including Ozai on ground.
"Yeahhh my Aang boyyyy!" Bumi was first to break silence of the crowd who don't cheered for Aang due to Ozai's fear.
"You did it Aang!" Kuzon said lifting his friend hand up as the winner.
"That's how we do it! Note the name you losers the "purple hoodie gaang" said Kuzon ignoring the hypocritic glare of his best friends.
"You are defeated by an Airbender,I was wrong you're more weaker than your brother"Ozai stated,angry of the insult in his own place.
" I'm sorry father" said Azula,her voice clearly showed the fear with her head lower in defeat not meeting the gaze of her father.
"You have insulted me,you have insulted our family infront of everyone,in my own place" Ozai said moving towards his daughter.
The crowd which consisted of almost Ozai's workers step back on seeing their owner's so called purple hoodie gaang stood still in their place watching the royal family drama.
"You have to pay for this"he spite lifting his hand to slap his on the other hand prepared herself for the familiar closed her eyes in fear of the upcoming incident,she waited but nothing happen. She opened her eyes to very unexpected scenario of the airbender or the winner standing between her and her father.
"Sorry Sir but I am the winner and as per the rule I have the right to punish her"said Aang starting a new grey Vs gold battle.
"You know peasant airbender! you're getting your friends and yourself in Danger"said Ozai grabing Aang's collar.
Aang in response held Ozai's tie bringing him down face to face,
"Listen ,this is not your home,not your mansion or for now not even your place" Aang stated in a serious word were unexpected,intense, histrionic echoing in the corridors.
Azula eyes widened in shock trying to process why this boy was standing for her and to be worst against her father.
Zuko never expected someone even exist to bring his almighty father !(whom he don't love a bit) in such a situation.
Kuzon and Bumi were standing like proud brothers but they too were amazed by their friend,adding to the many surprises of this unforgettable day the crowd too had the same reaction.
"So sir for your kind information this is the battleground,it's all part of game and fortunately I'm the winner. You better get out of here as I can see you can't stand the insult. as a part of my punishment you should leave your daughter and zuko here!" said Aang,
Ozai being on the verge of burning down the whole place rather decidedto get out from the place considering his Image.
Everyone there watched ozai stomped off leaving his kids behind. Bumi and Kuzon did their job of telling them today's show is over and they can mind their own business.
"You can stand now"Aang said offering Azula a hand who was still shocked by the recent looked up at the smiling Airbender and denied his hand.
"Listen Airbender just get over the punishment thing fast, I don't need your concerned or pity" Azula said standing on her feet.
"Your always like this or it's just for me"Aang chuckled getting a confused look from Azula.
Before she could reply him Bumi interepted "Holy shit Aang what was that with the almighty stupid Ozai"
"Hey we are still here"Zuko said standing beside Azula.
"But you seem to like it"kuzon said in response to the siblings.
"What No! and how do you know my name?"said zuko pointing towards Aang.
"Well your father told me"Aang said explaining to which his best friend's started laughing. Azula who was still staring at Aang without any fear was surprise to get the same response from Aang.
"Why did you save me"Azula was the first to break their stare game.
"Well I just don't want my friends do get hurt "Aang said in response to her.
"Who told you that I'm your friend peasant?"she spite at the airbender
"Well you don't look like the people to care about enemies so I thought friend will be better word for your understanding"Aang said with his signature heartwarming smile.
Azula on the other side was completely amazed by his couldn't resist herself from flashing small genuine on the other side was enjoying the view with Zuko thinking 'his sister can smile'.Bumi and Kuzon being who were used to their friend's magic were little amazed because it was coming in presence of a will not deny that they were enjoying their friend new versions.
Aang motioned Azula to come close"You look beautiful when you smile"he whispered in her ear not knowing where that word came from.
"So my punishment is too allow you to flirt with me!"Azula whispered back who was still taken back by his boldness.
"Flirt!no! It was just a compliment that's all, I was going say it earlier about your sapphire flames but you were busy digging my grave"Aang was blushing madly thinking of the girl's assumption about on the other hand allowed all his word to sink in,she for the first time found anyone so complicated,so unpredictable,she was unable to assume his true intentions,where he was heading,what punishment he will give was taken out of her thoughts by Kuzon
"Hey Aang stay away from her she is firebender"
"But kuzon you're also a firebender"Aang said jokingly
"But I'm the good one"replied kuzon
"Who told she is bad"Aang fired back at him.
"Hey I told you I'm not your friend and I don't need any help,specially yours airbender"Azula interjected them.
"Ohh when did people started smiling instead of saying NO!" Aang stated being slight angry of the Airbender thing.
"Do they know each other before?"Zuko asked the Bumi seeing his sister and the strange kid banter.
"Don't know but you people should stop with the peasants thing"Bumi said in response.
"What should I say if I see three people with same dusted hoodie that too of purple colour?"said zuko with a confused look.
"Atleast you should say we're a band! And wait Aang is still shirtless!"said kuzon joining the two.
Bumi thought kuzon will join Zuko in disrespecting the purple hoodie idea but he was attention was taken by Aang being pissed off
"It's better too get out of this place, let's go"Aang said gesturing to his friend to get the fuck out of here.
"Wait what about the glass window you broke?"zuko asked Aang.
"What about my hoodie and me being burned?" Aang replied
"Ohkk,We're even now"said Zuko to avoid starting a new fight.
"Wait Aang what about her punishment?"Bumi asked
"She don't deserve it"Aang said to everyone surprise.
"And it's a simple name Aang,it has less word than airbender and peasant"Aang continued before Azula would spite at him for his kindness .
"Wait I have an idea,She will complete the mailcart jump with Aang which we failed earlier"said kuzon with Bumi joining him with it.
'This gonna be a long day'Aang whispered to himself.
