Me: Hi people! About this story coming to an end, this is the last chapter. Don't worry, there's a sequel that I'm working on right now called Lady Avatar 2: Revenge and Victory.
Gidget: You're writing another one? How much are you going to put these poor reviewers through?
Me: Shut up and go away before I make you.
Gidget: -starts whimpering- Mommy!
Colorcrystals' mother: Colorcrystals, what did you do to her?
Me: Nothing.
Mother: Then why is she crying?
Me: She hates me and wants to get me in trouble.
Mother: No TV for a month.
Me: -stares at Mother with mouth open- This is so unfair.
Disclaimer: You know what I own and what I don't own.
Skip this chapter. I published it right before the Zuko episode came on. I thought his mom was dead but since we don't know I had to rewrite some of this. If you're curious to see what I wrote then read this and then read the next chapter. If you like to follow author's notes or want to know about when the sequel comes out read the bottom.
Angel of Death
Azula was wrong. Very wrong. She realized it after going a week without running into her big brother. Zuko figured Zhao would come after him and ordered a course close to land. Much closer than Azula thought. By the time she realized this Zuko and his crew were almost a week a head of them.
But, Azula was also right. Zuko was heading for the Fire Nation, although whether he was still concerned with capturing the Avatar (or if he even remembered) still remained to be discovered. For the past two weeks, since Katara and Zuko figured out that Sarah, James, and Iroh set them up, Zuko had been only concering himself with Katara. He followed her almost everywhere (although she didn't know). He hadn't been this happy since before he was banished.
During this time Aang was busy learning Earthbending and looking for the girls. Little did he know that they weren't to worried about being found or not. Infact, Katara had hardly thought about him. Sarah on the other hand worried about his safety all the time but she knew he was fine so she didn't pay much attention to these worries.
Zuko was sure they were safe from Zhao (which they were) but wasn't happy to see another Fire Nation ship in the distance.
"Captain!" Zuko called.
"Yes Prince Zuko?" the captain replied.
"Speed up. We need to get out of the sight of that boat." Zuko ordered. He knew that a Fire Nation ship following them couldn't be good.
A few hours later the ship was even closer. Zuko wasn't happy.
"James!" he called.
"What Zuko?" James asked.
"We have to hide Sarah and Katara. There's a Fire Nation ship following us. It'll be on top of us in about 10 minutes. I won't let them take Katara from me."
"Alright, but first, we have to find them." Zuko and James began to hunt them down.
If Zuko and James had waited just three more minutes to leave the deck they would have been there when Sarah and Katara came up.
"Where are the boys?" Katara asked.
"I don't know but look at that ship. It's really close. Too close. We have to find Zuko and James." Sarah told her. They went in search of their boyfriends.
About two minutes later they met on the deck while three figures rushed into the shadows.
"Katara! There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you!" Zuko pulled her into an embrace.
"We've been looking for you too. What is the deal with that ship?" Sarah demanded.
"Hello little dove."
Sarah's eyes grew wide and she whipped around. "What are you doing here?" "He's come here with me." Azula showed herself. "Hello Zuzu." Zuko flinched at the horrid nickname.
"What do you want?" He snarled.
"I just want to kill you. That's what Daddy wants me to do to." She smirked when she saw the look on Zuko's face. "You still thought Daddy was going to let you come home didn't you. Be reasonable Zuko. If he wanted you home he would have lifted you banishment, Avatar or no. Face it Zuzu. I'm the favorite. He loves me not you. Nobody loves you."
"That's not true." Katara cried.
"Hello Katara. I always knew we'd meet again." Jet said.
"No," she whispered in fear.
"I'll fight before I let you kill me or hurt anyone." Zuko growled as he pushed Katara behind him. James did the same to Sarah.
"Silly Zuzu, I'm not going to kill you here. I'm going to take you home and kill you there along with Uncle James and Uncle Iroh. In Daddy's eyes you're all traitors."
"What about me and Katara? You have no power over us Princess Azula." Sarah said coldly.
"I've already promised Jet that he can have the water wretch. My father is very interested in having the fifth Lady Avatar." Sarah paled as Azula spoke. How did she know? Azula must have seen the question in her eyes. "Oh yes. I know thanks to Admiral Zhao and the letter he sent me." Sarah vowed to kill Zhao if she ever got the chance.
"You can't take us all. It's five against three. You can't win." Sarah told her.
"Oh yes we can. I'm a firebending prodigy. You can't beat me with your airbending. Zuko could never hope to be as good of a firebender as me. Iroh and James, the three of us can handle them. And the water wretch is as good as captured." As Azula talked Sarah slipped away to James' room where her stuff was. She grabbed her twin swords, much like the ones belonging to the Blue Spirit, and changed into a fighting outfit she often wore when she and Yuri were killing soldiers in bars. She put her hair up and covered her face in make-up. Then she went back to the door leading to the deck. She waited there with her swords sheathed. Soon she got tired of the Princess's chatting.
"So now, I'm going to capture you." Azula finished.
'Finally. I thought I'd be hiding here for years.' Sarah thought.
She could hear the battle. She used her bending to blast open the door. Everyone stopped and stared at her. She drew the swords and went out to fight.
"So the Angel of Death has returned." Keith whispered.
"That's not possible. The Angel of Death is a firebender." Azula mumured.
"Fight me Azula! Fight me and try to win! I dare you!" Sarah challanged. Azula hesitated. She knew the stories about how the Angels of Death would come and seduce soldiers in taverns and then kill them. Here was the only one of the two left that hadn't been seen in years and she was challanging the Princess of the Fire Nation.
Keith snuck behinde Sarah and grabbed her. Azula was amazed at his strength. "This is the Angel of Death." He wiped the make-up from the girl's face. "More like Queen Sarah of the Air Nation, also known as my daughter." He put a knife to Sarah's throat and said, "You thought you could keep your identity a secret didn't you? Of course you did. You've killed so many Fire Nation soldiers or at least you did until Yuri left."
"How do you know about Yuri?" Sarah demanded.
"Why are you talking about my mother?" Azula screached.
"Yuri was an airbender too. She left you for the Fire Nation." Keith said.
"No, she left for love. She loved Ozai." Sarah argued.
"Are you sure she didn't just want to leave you?" Keith tormented.
"Yuri love me and Tei! She would have never left her family for anything except love!" Sarah fought his grip.
"I'm not so sure about that." Keith enjoyed this.
"She left her family to spend the rest of her life with him and he betrayed her! He killed her! He poisoned her!" Sarah sceamed.
"No, he didn't kill her. I did." Sarah stopped squiming at her father's words. Tears filled her eyes.
Flashback
Yuri walked the halls of the Fire Nation palace. She had just said goodnight to the little ones and was going to find Ozai. She looked around to make sure no one was around. No one was there. She summoned an airball.
Oh! It felt so good to airbend again. It had been months since she had last had a chance.
"Fire Lady Yuri!" Keith called.
The airball disappeared. "Yes Keith?"
"You're an airbender!" He accused.
"Don't be silly. They're all dead. I can't bend anything."
"Oh really. Then how could I see you airbending?"
"Your eyes must have been playing tricks on you." She raised her hand to preform a gesture but he grabbed it. "Let go of me."
"Where is your queen?" She pulled away from him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She hurried away and went to bed.
"Darling, what would you say if I told you that I was, oh I don't know, one of the last airbenders and I served the Air Queen?" Yuri asked her husband.
"I'd be upset that you didn't tell. Why? Are you?" Ozai asked.
"No," she lied, "I just wanted to know if you would still love me. I think it would be natural for me not to tell you though. I mean with the war and everything."
"Let's not think about you being an airbender and serving the Air Queen." That answered Yuri's questioned.
"You're right dear." She held back tears.
The next night she was tucking in her children.
"Mommy, am I like Daddy?" Little Azula asked.
"Yes, very much so." Yuri told her daughter.
"Am I like Daddy too, Mommy?" Zuko asked.
"No, dear," Zuko looked sad but Yuri wasn't finished, "You're just like me." That cheered him up a bit.
Azula was already asleep but Yuri and her son continued to talk.
"One of these days I'm going to take you to meet your aunt and uncle." She informed him.
"Really? Are they married? Where do they live? Do they live in the Fire Nation?" Zuko questioned.
"One question at a time little one. No, neither my brother or sister are married. No, they don't live in the Fire Nation."
"Then where do they live? Do they live in the Water Tribe?"
"No."
"Earth Kingdom?"
"No, they live on a small island."
"But I thought you were royal Mommy."
"My sister was practicly a queen so I am royal."
"What are my grandparents like? Will I meet them?" Zuko continued asking.
"I never knew my parents. They died when I was a baby." Yuri answered.
"Then who raised you?"
"My sister."
"How can your sister raise you and my uncle?"
"Well, she really wasn't my sister, but she always treated my brother and I like we were her family. In a way we are. We're just not related."
"I can't wait to meet them." Zuko mummbled as he began to fall asleep. Soon he snoring.
Yuri quietly left with on last longing look at her children. How she wished she could take them with her! She decided that one day she would come back for them and take them to Airbender Island.
She tip-toed back to her room and grabbed the things she had packed for the journey. Then she made for the throne room. She left a note on Ozai's throne. It read:
I serve the Air Queen.
Yuri began to go to the door but she sensed someone. She quickly turned around.
"So I was right. You are an airbender. I serve the Air Queen, what a sweet sentiment. I'll be sure to tell my daughter." Keith laughed.
"Go away or I'll scream." Yuri threatened.
"And risk getting caught leaving? I don't think so. Anyway, have you forgotten that I'm a soldier? I'll just say that I came to see what made you scream. I could kill you right now and I'd get away with it by saying I found your body. Just know this: If you leave I'll tell Ozai that you are a traitor gone to help the rebels which is the truth. If you don't leave I'll always's be watching you." Keith vanished.
Yuri decided to stay. That way she could tell Ozai the truth herself, but she knew she wouldn't. Yuri had to find a way to tell him without him killing her or her family.
That next night Zuko sat in the kitchen drinking a glass of milk.
"Hi Mommy!" He said when she walked in. "Do you want some milk?"
"I'll get it myself dear.." She replied and sat with her son.
When she had finished her glass Zuko hadn't even drinken half. All of a sudden she saw something, or someone, that looked an aweful lot like Keith rushing out of the room. She turned her gaze to the milk in Zuko's glass. It didn't look right.
"Mommy I don't feel so good." Zuko told her cluching his stomache.
"Come here Zuko." She ordered.
Zuko came to her. She picked him up and rushed him out of the room. She to the hospital wing in the palace.
"The Prince has been poisoned!" She cried.
Healers rushed to her and grabbed the boy from her and laid him on a bed. She stood over him and fainted.
When Ozai couldn't be by his wife and son's side James was. Yuri awoke once when James was there. She had always tried to get him alone but had never suceeded. Now was her chance.
"James," she groaned.
"Yuri, you're awake. Thank Agni. I'll go get Ozai." He said and was about to stand when Yuri pulled him to her.
"James, she's alive," she mumurmed. Yuri couldn't last much longer.
"What?" James didn't understand.
"The Lady Avatar is alive." With those words she died.
End Flashback
"You poisoned her." Sarah whispered.
"My mother was weak. As much as I love her, she was an enemy from what I understand. It's good Keith killed her." Zuko couldn't believe that his sister was saying that.
"I'll kill you!" Sarah yelled and broke away from her father. "You don't deserve to live."
The good in Keith seized this moment to appear. "Little dove, I love you." He whispered so only Sarah could hear. Then the evil in him regained control.
Sarah rememberd what her mother had said and turned to Azula and Jet. The others joined in the battle. Unfortunately Azula won. She suceeded in knocking out Zuko and Iroh. Jet took out Katara and took advantage of Sarah's hesitation when Katara fell. Keith defeated James with much difficulty and many injuries.
The three took their captives to a cell and chained their hands and feet up on a wall. Jet took Katara to his room where he tied her to a chair. Azula ordered a course for the Fire Nation.
Me: Yeah! It's finished. This is one of the longest chapters I've ever written. I hope you all enjoyed the story and will read the sequel.
Gidget: You didn't end it very well.
Me: I know but the story isn't really finished. You have to read the sequel. R'n'R! Oh and for your FYI, I just spent four hours writing this when I should have been doing my homework. I must really love you all. And if you want me to PM you when the sequel is out please state it in the review. If you are anonymous and you want me to email you state that in the email as well, just don't forget to put that in your review. If you just want to wait and check every few days then I should have the sequel out in about two or three weeks. (It will probably be out in the next few days but if not then it might take a couple weeks. Not my fault. Blame school.) I might post an author's note on this story as a new chapter if I can get a date that it'll be out or when I post it so if this story is on alert you might want to keep it there. Bye!
