Air temple Island was silent and the sun was Setting.
When aang and katara reached Island they sighed. "How are we going to tell zuko?" aang asked before pile of Kids crashed at aang all screaming.
"We caught the Avatar!" "Honor!" "You will come with us to the fire Lord!" Katara sighed seeing zuko and...
Katara grabbed the Young fire bender hugging pulling her out of the pai sho game. "where were you!" who had been worried sick about the Girl. she might've not been one of her Kids but still the Girl had wen through enough didn't Need her getting kidnapped.
zuri sighed as she was about to win the game and looked at the pile up kid almost about to sufficate aang. "Well you better start looking for the next Avatar!" She said causing katara look and pull her Kids off of aang.
He panted before pointing at zuko. "YOU- You told them about our adventures didn't you?" the avatar asked catching all the breath he could. "How are all the Kids so heavy?" he asked as they prepared to jump at their dad agian.
Katara "Now where were you Young Lady." most Kids should afraid or try to hide but zuri just smiled. "What's with that smile?" Katara asked and zuri took a breath and yelled.
"you're all banished!" and so the game started with aang on an air scooter fleeing from his Kids who were saying their dad was cheating.
Katara watched as the Circus continued and looked at zuri for Brief Moment. "This isn't over!" she ran after her Kids.
Zuri watched the Show whenever they ran passed the door zuko and zuri Holding their laughter snorting and almost going into a full blown laughing fit. When ever aang yelled or better said begged "It's not fair, sokka isn't helping!" that caused zuko laugh outright as the Avatars Kids decided to catch katara aswell. "Wait, no leave your mom alone!" now zuri joined in laughing as this continued into the night. Only stopped when the Kids got too tired to continue and zuri had already been asleep so katara wasn't able scold her for running of with out telling them. "I hope we won't have to do that often, one a week is fine atleast the Kids are asleep." he said drinking his tea before spitting it out.
Katara looked smelling her tea luckily the one brew the tea wasn't there. thinking to herself 'how is iroh his uncle and he still can't brew a good tea to save his life.' She looked at the tea before bending it into a potted plant.
Zuko came back to the living room. "She's asleep, I'm sorry for the Trouble she has caused. Sometimes I'm worried she is too much like her mother." the two looked suprised. "Not personality wise, but her bending is like hers even if she hasn't gotten to the degree where she is throwing blue fire at everyone or started hunting aang." he joked trying to lighten the mood in the room.
Aang snorted but katara looked with a compassionate warmth. "You're still worried she will turn on you and look for her mom?" He nodded and aang decided to add to the discussion.
"Ok zuko what have you and the rest of your Family told her about azula?" Aang asked Holding an empty Cup acting like he still drinking his tea.
Zuko thought about it the six month spent with her the joy in her eyes even at her first day she is deadly but adorable kinda like momo. "The truth, None of us said a single lie to her not even ty lee suger coated it nor mother." He sighed.
Aang nodded. "Why would zuri want to find her now? Maybe when she's older but she's just a kid and deserves to be one right?" zuko looked at aang suprised to hear it from him.
"Your it's unlike she had a connection with azula like you had with ursa or iroh." Zuko smilled that was the reason why zuko looked for his mother and the reason at the day of the eclipse he tried to free his uncle. Zuri told him what she did and how much fun she had the Girl was lively and curious. "I say don't worry too much and just let her be... Can you tell me why toph called and said zuri was acting like a Clown to lin?" Zuko remembered her telling him about encounter. "she wanted to make the grumpy earth Baby laugh." This caused the married couple to burst out laughing.
Zuri woke up early she was questioning why it had to be so early?! The sun wasn't even up yet, as she dressed herself. The ride on appa wasn't bad but she still didn't like flying, Dragon or Bison the sky was the Limit for her.
Waiting to be called to the stand wasn't fun especially when you're the last to be called out because of your age and your Status atleast she didn't have to wear her royal Robes only hair piece.
When zuri was called she found that the People could only up to her neck fantastic! "Miss would you explain the jury what you have witnessed on the day of your adoptive fathers death?" Zuri didn't like the lawer he spoke to her like she was some celeberty she would actually peffered if he had spoken to her like a child.
She nodded and stood up because she felt ridiculous. "He moved his Hands forcing my father to stand straight before he started flaoting off the ground and moved him like a puppet, when I tried to attack him he did the same to me and then my-" She froze remebered her father yelling at yakone callling a Coward smilling at yakone as he snarled at the firebender before the breaking Sound and her father fell to the floor lifeless unmoving.
"My father yelled at yakone calling him a Coward and h-his neck was broken... He let me and my father go but I was the only one to stand up." The court room was fieled with whisperings before one of the hit the gravel multiple times silencing the room.
The defence stood up. "May I ask you? When did this Event take place?" zuri look at the man if it up to her she would say a Thing but she had to.
"2 years ago I was 8." She said it quickly becoming nervous of the man.
"and what time of day of was it?"
Zuri looked a bit confused not knowing that blood bending had to performed during a full moon. "It's the evening the sun was going down and-"
"So it wasn't during a full moon?" Zuri looked even more confused that just shock her head to this. "The prosecution's entire case is built upon the make-believe notion that my client is able to bloodbend at will, at any time on any day. I remind the council that bloodbending is an incredibly rare skill and it can only be performed during a full moon." Zuri eyes widened she knew that water Benders become more powerful during a full moon but she didn't know any of this. "Yet, the witnesses will claim that my client used bloodbending at every other time except during a full moon. It would be a mockery of justice to convict a man of a crime that is impossible to commit." Zuri glared at the man if she could he would've already fired at him.
after this the council left the room and she sat next to aang she wanted witsness the bastard being put to justice.
Council return from their deliberations and take their seats.
The bailiff spoke first "Councilman Sokka will now deliver the verdict."
"In my years, I have encountered people born with rare and unique bending abilities. Why, I once bested a man with my trusty boomerang who was able to firebend with his mind." he looked at toph "Why, even metalbending was considered impossible for all of history until our esteemed Chief of Police, Toph Beifong, singlehandedly developed the skill." That caused Zuri to stare at the Police Chief before returing her gaze to sokka" The overwhelming amount of testimony and evidence has convinced this council that Yakone is one of these unique benders and he exploited his ability to commit these heinous crimes. We find Yakone guilty of all charges and sentence him to life in prison."
Sokka hit with the gravel and zuri celebrated scream joyfully before he notced yakone Standing up, grinning. his eyes bulging zuri knew what he was about to do and tried to fire at him but she froze, sokka made a painful cry as toph tried to bent her cable was stop aswell before falling to the ground and so did the rest of the council.
He turned to the crowd bending the entire crowd causing them all to fall unconscious
"You won't get away with this!" Aang said to him with dificulty as arms wer forced behind his back through yakones blood bending.
Yakone laughed to his victory. " Republic City's mine, Avatar. I'll be back one day to claim it." Yakone bloodbends Aang into the steps of the dais, knocking him out. He ran out the court to a cart pulled by an ostrich horse and dashes off.
Aang stood up his eye and Tattoos glowed give him more energy as he flew out of the room.
Just after that azula walked through the room with two of her puppets as she looked at her child. "Take her to the cart, it seems yakone has done as he planned but he woke a Dragon as he did so." She perffered to aang as her hencemen carried the Girl out of the room.
Zuri woke up tied to a chair. "LET ME GO!" She yelled looking around she a saw woman sitting infront of her. "Who are you?" She asked confused and a bit weirded out that she was sitting infront of her in a dark room.
Azula looked at the Girl. "just appreciating how adorable you are" She said but actually was feeding into her own ego as zuri resembeled her alot.
Zuri smiled at the compliment. "Thanks I try." She said while zuri walked around looking at the spitting Image of her younger self. "So could you call my uncle?" She asked cheerfully.
Azula was confused why wasn't she afraid? She was her mother she would Show fear. "Why aren't you afraid?" She asked in a threatening tone.
Zuri looked a bit confused. "I'm not afraid of the dark and you don't look threatening, you look like a Kind Person." Azula stepped back with suprise she never had anyone describe her in that before, it felt strange. "So can you untie me?" Azula was still progessing this.
"this is impossible! SHE'S ACTING, MAKING A JOKE OF ME! THERE'S NO WAY SHE IS JUST FEARLESS NO ONE IS THAT! SHE MUST BE WORKING WITH ZUKO AND MOTHER! THEY A SCEAMING AGIANST ME EVEN AFTER I HELPED THEM!" She clamed down and thought more logically "She is calm even when she's-" azula figured it out why she was so calm. "The earth bender won't find you Girl, you're stuck here." Zuri eyes widened growled before releasing a burst of fire screaming as she did so. "seems like my progeny has inherited my tactical mind, still she shows no fear of me." She smirked at her child. "But you haven't beaten your mother nor will you ever."
Zuri was frustrated she thought that if she kept calm and befriended her captor she would be out of in a few hours or at most a day. "What doy you want from me?" she said glaring at the woman.
Azula smiled. "My child." Zuri froze giving azula what she wanted before fear, before pulling it right away from her. The fear she had wanted to see was gone and short Moment she had was aswell. " why are you laughing?" asked not understanding.
Zuri laughed about how dumb she was. "Funny that I didn't see the resemblance" Zuri said smilling. "Can you untie me now?" azula looked at the child with displeased look on her face. "What? you thought I would fall to the ground crying and begging for a hug?" he asked in a frustrated tone.
Azula wait for Moment. "I was guessing more quastions I can hold over you." Zuri just rolled her eyes at the woman seriously the nerve she had. "I was planning on making you my Student. No need to thank me." zuri looked questioning her ego.
Zuri snorted. "Please what can you teach me?" To answere azula fired small at the robe freeing her and zuri watched the blue fire.
Azula got Close and whispered to her ear.
Zuri gulped. "FINE! What's the first lesson?" Azula smiled at her victory agianst her own daughter.
"you're turning into your father." azula pushed the voice far away. "So let's start with our first lesson dodge." Azula launched a fire ball at the Girl who instead of dodging blocked it by creating a wall of fire. "Good, You're not a sheep." ZUti panted her heart racing having to do that as quickly as possible.
Zuri looked at her mother. "HOW COULD I DODGE THAT?!" Azula nodded knowing exactly that she couldn't dodge the a fire ball flying at her with that Speed. "You were trying kill me!" Zuri said realising this would her Training sessions.
Azula nodded. "Yes I can't have my daughter being a puppet and going into death charges." Zuri just looked at her quastioning what she had gotten herself into.
The day after was far more nightmarish one as each second day of staying with her mom had started with a lecture on most part her fire bender forms while great unlce iroh and uncle zuko would tell her how to improve, Azula just told her and she was forced to firgure out how to do it herself, to which she would learn through trial and error.
Zuri fired at her sparing patner who twice her age. "Left leg is wrong and you back is wrong." She meaning her form but it could be understood diffrently and zuri just tried all possible ways to agree with her mothers standarts. She stood straight her Strance was stable and fired at her opponant multiple times not stopping even a second before he fell to the ground panting.
She look azula who wasn't impressed. "Your stance improved but you still Need Focus and not just bur in all your battle." Zuri ran at creating blade of fire which countered with simple kick to the stomach. "your fire bending is fine but you're physically still weak." She said as zuri fainted from pain and the entire day of sparing.
Azula had zuri brough to her room which was almost the size of a cell in the jail. "You're becoming like you father." Azula clenched her teeth at that almost growling at window mirring her mother face. "you have a beautifull child don't treat her like your father treated you." Azula glared Vision over the years she decided to never answer These ilussions but she could still hear them. "She is a talented Girl." Her eyes widen at this new voice the voice of her brother excatly like the last time she heard him. "What would you know about talent? Your own spawn isn't even able to bend!" She yelled no one there to hear her as she sat down grabbing hair rubbing her face out of frustration.
authors note: You what is annoying about an OC insert fic? little to no surprises can be done with as both the author and reader know what will happen, The author needs go between a fine line of keeping the story interesting and not concentrating the fic on the OC. There is also the thought that you also have to make sure you make the Oc go through a development or they will be a classed as a marry sue.
There will be chapters were azula gains a bit of humanity over the time with her daughter, as I plan her to be innocent in demeanor but smart and intelligent when she is threatened, when there is no way of escape rage and fear.
