Sorry it's been so long since I've updated, but my internet was down, so I used my laptop, whose internet always works. The only problem is that it's slow. Very slow. It's very old, and has been dropped many times. Then my dad fixed the internet, so I could write again.
"There has been a change of plans. We are going to postpone the attack. I feel we should start our own nation at the Southern Air Temple." suggested Zula.
"Perfect. I am going to pack my things right now." rejoiced a general. The same general who Zuko spoke out against two years ago, to be exact.
Meanwhile, Zuko and Katara were already up. "Can we just relax today? I am tired." asked Katara.
"Whatever you want, I will give it to you." replied Zuko. They leaned in to kiss when Iroh barged in.
"Guess what day it is? That is right! It is the one day anniversary of the new tea company I started!" exclaimed Iroh. Only he could intrude on people's privacy just for something trivial like tea.
"But an anniversary is a year!" yelled Zuko. Iroh just stood there and smiled. A smile that meant "Zuko, there is always a reason to celebrate." Zuko groaned. He knew that Uncle would ask him to celebrate with him.
"So, I am throwing a tea party for the company only." announced Iroh. He left. Zuko was left puzzled. Not that he wanted to go, but why did he come just to say that?
Oh well, it is all in the past now. Now, back to kissing. They leaned into a passionate, sultry kiss. The world seemed perfect at the moment, but it was far from it, considering Zula exists.
"Captain, how long until we arrive at the temple?" asked Zula.
"About an hour." responded the captain. An hour seemed like forever to Zula. She so wanted to get there, start her own nation, and rule it with an iron fist, alongside Sokka, her beloved boyfriend.
But, at last they arrived. There were rooms there already, which was a plus. Now everyone was glad the Fire Nation didn't burn down the entire temple. Then Zula noticed the airball field. What quality wood posts!
Sokka charged at a wood post with an axe and chopped it down. He read Zula's mind. He continued chopping down the posts and splitting them down the middle, but Zula motioned for her to come with her.
"Sokka, you must stop doing to much work. We rule this nation now. The only work we will do is watch people do work."
Sokka cackled. Yes, her philosophy was wrong. But, it was cute, in an evil way. Zula and Sokka lied down in their bed and drifted into sleep.
Outside, since all the rebels had unpacked, they were having fun and training at the same time by doing Agni Kai duels with each other. They were all formidable opponents because they are all experienced veteran soldiers.
At first, most of those soldiers were reluctant to fight. However, many rough years with all the austere generals of that time, nothing but training, turned them into the belligerent war hawks they are today.
They will fight for dominance against the now peaceful Fire Nation to regain their old reputation. Not every rebel isa soldier, though. Some are just civilians, forced into rebellion.
Their first task was to weave a flag. It would depict a firebender gruesomely burning a water, earth, and airbender.
As evening approached, the firebenders knew it was time. They shot a massive fireball in the sky, signaling a rebel in the Fire Nation to attack people.
He saw the fireball and went up to a young man and took out a jagged knife and stabbed him repeatedly until he died of blood loss. The people were screaming and yelling, so the minutemen squad came out. The rebel simply breathed fire from his mouth and burned them to a crisp. Too easy.
Then Zuko came out to fight him. The rebel kicked out fire, but Zuko put up a fire shield. Then Katara came and froze him. Zuko went up to him and broke his big toes by bending them back, so he would no longer be ambulatory.
"You just committed murder to a civilian. That is the death penalty."
"I know, and it was all worth it."
"Take the man to interrogation. We will question him and see what kind of death he wants to die."
Thank you for reading. And I know that Iroh's party thing seems unnecessary, but it will serve a purpose later on.
