Ozai had been thinking since Omashu. Under the psychological trauma of the incident with the orphans there was something else. 'Being called hero, it almost felt good'. Suddenly an harpoon almost hit the bison. "Pirates!".
Unknown location
June wasn't used to travel by ship, especially on a shapeshifting bounty hunter spirit shapeshifted into a fire nation battleship. She was on deck while Ataksak and Bo were inside. "So June how did you become a bounty hunter?" asked Marcello. "I don't want to be rude, but it's none of your buisness". It's not that it was a tragic story or anything. She simply wasn't a person that talked about her life. "Don't worry darling... Mamma mia! What the hell are you two doing!". June was confused. Firstly she didn't know what mamma mia meant and secondly she and Nyla were doing nothing strange. "Stop doing that inside me!". After a short amount of time Ataksak and Bo came out on deck. They seemed very embarassed. Well it was going to be interesting.
Fire Nation
A war council was being held. It would be disrespectful to interrupt, but Azula didn't care. The guards opened the doors for her, they didn't want to become her training partners. "Zuzu! I need to speak with uncle. Where is he?". Everyone stared at her. "A-Azula you're back... Hey! Don't call me Zuzu in front of the generals!". "Zuzu, my time is precious, where is uncle?". A couple of generals snickered. His brother looked at them with a (not) very menacing expression (maybe, in another timeline, with a scar it would have been a decent angry glare). He sighed "He is at the palace's tearoom". Azula walked out of the war council. Maybe they should call it something different, after all there were very few battles nowadays. She arrived at the tearoom. It was bigger than the throne secretly declared tea appreciation day and built the place. They had taken a vacantion on Ember Island while Iroh was at home as Zuko's substitute. The look on Zuzu's face when they discovered it was one of the wonders of the world (she was even able to put it on history books. His brother didn't know that kids in school studied it). "Ah, my niece. Welcome back. Did you like the South Pole this time?". "It was bearable. The chief is happy with the new alliance, but my stay at the Water Tribe isn't what I came to talk about. We have a problem". Iroh didn't seem surprised "if you're referring to the avatar the sages already told us about his or her return. Don't worry about it, I'm sure we can convince the avatar about the good you're brother is d-". Azula cut him off "No uncle. Father is back and is with the avatar. I... I'm worried uncle. The avatar is just a child, what if father manipulates him? What if father manipulates Zuko? He still thinks Ozai is a good person, I don't want him to suffer because of that monster". "This may be a problem, I'll see what I can do".

The avatar was angry, really angry. The pirates tried to capture Appa. Ozai was going to use this anger. "It's ok Aang. If you want to kill him do it. He wronged you. Don't see it as revenge, but as justice". The avatar was taken over by rage. He prepared a finishing blow, but stopped at the last moment. "I... I can't do it". Ozai knew he wouldn't do it, but at least he desired the kill, even if it was for a small time. It was progress
2 days later
"Hello Aang, I'm Hama. I will be your waterbending teacher".
