THE FIRE WAR

AN AVATAR STORY

Chapter One:

A SURPRISE VISIT

Zuko blasted fire at Azuma as she advanced at him.

"Why have you come?" Zuko looked at his sister with angry eyes.

Azuma hesitated. "Because you and Uncle are traitors, and you must die."

"He is your brother Azuma. You should not be attacking him," Uncle Iroh spoke as he walked up the stairs from the bottom half of the sea-ship, a fire-dagger ready.

"Uncle Iroh. Killing you will give me double the prize," Azuma spoke, and then laughed. She lunged herself at Zuko and fired a lightning bolt from her fingertips. Zuko ducked and threw a knife at her. Azuma blocked it with a burst of fire that Zuko quickly returned.

"Play nice," said Zuko mockingly.

"Oh, Zuzu, are you scared?" said Azuma in return.

"Don't call me that!" Zuko yelled as he launched a burst of flame at Azuma. Azuma dodged it and fired a few lightning bolts at Zuko. Zuko was hit, and he fell to the ground, injured.

"Stop it you two! You should have more respect to others of the Fire Nation!" Iroh said, mad.

"Oh. You should be one talking about respect, after leaving the Fire Nation, your family, your empire. A traitor isn't one to be talking about respect!" Azuma said angrily.

"Rahhahh!" Iroh roared in battle cry. He turned his fire-daggers into a blazing burst directed at Azuma. It hit her and she fell over.

"Don't you lecture me about traitors!" shouted Iroh, pointing a smoking finger at Azuma.

"You've gotta' lotta' nerve, striking the Princess of the Fire Nation," said Azuma as she smirked and stood up.

"We are no longer part of the Fire Nation!" said Zuko from the background, standing up.

"Little Zuzu. Don't get angry," said Azuma, once again smirking.

"I said…." Shouted Zuko very mad. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Zuko shouted with rage as he blasted a storm of fire at Azuma. Azuma flew over the side of the ship. Zuko's palms smoked. He breathed hard.

"She's finished," said Iroh. "You can relax now."

"Uncle Iroh, Azuma is never finished," he said with rage. "She always comes back."
