The floors of the dragon throne room were covered with red and gold carpets. The emblems of the mighty Fire Nation were all over the walls in the form of cloth flags. There were many statues made of pure gold and silver, paintings of great conquerors on the walls, shelves of books. The ceiling was impractically tall, a representation of power gone mad.

There was an opening in a corner of the room which led to a large and grand balcony where it was possible to survey the battlefield from above.

Very close by, there was a large, elevated, golden throne. The seat's handles were decorated with dragon-themed carvings.

Princess Azula, Empress of Fire, leader of the Fire Nation and soon-to-be Empress of All Earth, sat on that very throne.

The three Eds entered the room from the opposite end. As soon as they entered, Ed dropped a figure they had been carrying unto the floor… the defeated and unconscious dark priestess Kataryn.

"PRINCESS AZULA!" Eddy called out, raising the green sword into the air. "We've come here to finish this!"

Azula stood up from her throne. She walked down from her elevated throne. As the evil young woman stepped into the light, the Eds got a better look at her.

Her thin, athletic frame was completely clad in a powerful oriental battle dress of red, gold, and black; she was wearing powerful black and gold leather boots.

Her face was beautiful but also filled with traces of villainy, pride, and malice. She had powerful, exotic hazel eyes, large red lips, long black hair which was tied back and up in an ornate, royal hairstyle; something resembling a tiny eastern pointed gold tiara held a portion of her hair in place.

Eddy felt his grip on the sword slacken slightly; he struggled to control his boyish attraction. What an unbelievably beautiful and exotic girl. If Eddy had turned, he would have found a similar impulse from his friends. Double D in particular, was blushing a bright pink.

Princess Azula was finally standing on the same level as the boys, having descended all the steps leading up to her throne. Now the two sides stood facing each other, about three meters apart.

The Fire Princess regarded her opponents with the utmost contempt and disregard.

The three of them were possibly the sorriest bunch of males she had ever seen. The tall one was clearly dumb and the one holding a sword was shorter than her by several heads. So this was the resistance heroes she had been warned about?

"Be… be gone from our lands you evil fire witch!" Double D said, his voice slightly shaky. "Or… or else we'll have to stop you."

"PEACH CREEK IS OURS!" Ed cried out.

Azula smiled coldly. These were three of the biggest losers she had ever seen. She waved a hand briefly.

Almost at once, the room became many times brighter. The Eds jumped in a brief moment of shock as they looked around. Magically, almost fifty candles and all the oil lamps in the great dragon throne room were lit up.

"So…" she said, meeting their shocked gazes. "You are the pathetic heroes who seek to challenge the rule of the Fire Nation. Don't you know who I am? I am Princess Azula, Empress of Fire, Leader of the Fire Nation, and soon-to-be Empress of All Earth. I can bend fire, lightning, earth, life, and death."

Eddy didn't like the sound of that.

"Look err Azula," Double D said, "Maybe… maybe we can find a diplomatic solution to this. You don't have to burn our lands. We really… we really only want peace."

"Your lands are mine," she interrupted rudely. "All the lands of the Earth, the skies, the oceans… all of the creatures within, they all belong to me. That is my mandate, that is my destiny."

"So you would kill innocent people?" Eddy cried out.

"They serve me… or they die," she replied smugly.

Eddy had heard enough. As they were speaking, her armies and firestorms were still killing people. If there was going to be a fight, then better sooner than later.

"You heard her," he said to the others. "She's rotten to the core. Let's get her."

He walked forward slowly, sword in hand, Ed and Double D standing close to him. The truth be told, all of them were nervous to approach her.

Princess Azula was amused. To her, they were pathetic insects. She, the great Azula, was a prodigy of magic; with her domination of the elements, she was basically a goddess to them. She could simply annihilate them instantly with a giant blast of fire but where was the fun in that?

Azula waived her hand.

Instantly, an all-powerful invisible force snatched Destiny Sword from the short hero. The mighty weapon flew out of Eddy's hand with the speed of a bullet. The Eds watched, wide-eyed, as the sword remained suspended in mid air, well out of their reach, for two complete seconds. Then it took flight and flew off into an unknown corner of the room.

The disarmed Eddy looked at Azula, his eyes wide open with fear.

Azula could kill them right here, but she wanted to show to them, ingrain in them, the knowledge that she was 100% superior to them.

She raised her hand in a powerful gripping motion.

At once, Eddy found himself suspended two meters above the floor, a pair of invisible hands having seized him from under his armpits and lifting him up, trapping him.

"LET ME DOWN!" he cried out in terror. "LET ME DOWN!"

To try and help their friend, Ed and Double D ran straight at Azula. Her face lit up with evil glee as she slashed her hand at the air.

Instantly, Double D and Ed were seized by invisible forces and telekinetically hurled over five meters across the room. Both of them slammed into a series of bookshelves with such force that the shelves came crashing down and rows and rows of books came tumbling down.

Feeling an overwhelming sense of superiority and power, Princess Azula walked up to Eddy, who was still trapped and suspended in mid air.

"You… you won't win!" Eddy cried out desperately. Somehow, Eddy felt a defiance and a determination rising in him, even as he was trapped and suspended in the air.

"Is that so?" Azula said. "Tell me, did you really think you filthy peasants would have a chance against a goddess like me? I am Empress of the Elements."

She swung her hand again, sending Eddy rocketing towards a distant wall. He landed, dazed, rubbing at his back. A series of gold and silver statues were next to him.

Eddy drew on hidden reserves of power; his adrenaline pumped because he knew his life was literally on the line. He got up and began to move at once.

"NOW YOU CAN DIE!" Azula cried out as she aimed a hand at him.

Almost at once, the firebender sent a mighty blast of lethal orange fire. Eddy was lucky in that he was already in motion. He barely managed to leap out of the way in time. The flames missed him by inches and struck the statues. The statues were instantly obliterated and set ablaze along with a large section of the shelves.

Eddy ran for his life.

Azula sent a ball of green fire after him. Eddy ducked instinctively and avoided the hit... however, the green fireball struck the ground and set off an explosion which sent the hero flying several meters into the air… he landed awkwardly on all fours, crying out with considerable pain and shock.

Azula smiled as she walked towards him from a distance. There was no way he could avoid the next attack. She prepared to cast again.

Double D had managed to climb his way out of the fallen books and the shelves. Ed was still out for the count, or worse… dead. He couldn't find the tall boy. Double D looked around and watched helplessly as the heroic Eddy made a stand. Azula was now walking towards his friend; the end was near.

Double D realized he had to do SOMETHING!

In a moment of panic, Double D saw a slightly shattered hand-held mirror on the ground. Maybe THIS was the key.

"HEY YOU EVIL WITCH!" Double D cried out, trying to distract. "Leave my friend alone!"

That immediately got her attention. Azula turned around, her face filled with rage as she saw Double D kneeling amidst books.

"Double D!" Eddy cried as he ran for cover. "Save yourself!"

Azula sent a powerful blast of lightning in the direction of Double D. The nerd reacted quickly and raised the hand-held mirror.

Azula was shocked as the electricity connected with the surface. As Double D had hoped, the electricity spell was instantly reflected back towards the Fire Empress, and at seemingly three times the cast speed.

However, the Fire Nation princess had really good reflexes. She immediately threw herself down on the floor. Double D's mouth dropped open as the lightning overshot her height and went straight out of a window, blasting it open and creating a shower of glass.

Their opportunity was lost.

Not wasting a second, Double D got up, and ran towards where Eddy was hidden. The two of them hid behind a series of bookshelves.

Azula bared her teeth as she slowly got back up. She decided she needed to be more careful. That was too close.

From their hidden position, the two Eds had to plan their next move.

"What are we going to do?" Eddy whispered urgently.

"I don't know," Double D whispered back. "We're OUT OF OUR DEPTHS. She's too powerful!"

"Where's Ed?" Eddy asked.

"I think he's out for the count," Double D said.

Princess Azula had enough of this game. She wanted to end it now. The heroes were finally starting to get on her nerves. They were certainly more nimble and crafty than she had expected.

"Come out now boys," she said as she walked around, trying to locate them. "If you surrender now, I promise you the mercy of a quick death."

Double D was a bit tempted but Eddy firmly held him back.

"Did you really think I'd fall for a mirror?" she said as she started to approach where they were hidden. "A mirror isn't going to help you. Instead of killing you though… I could reconsider. Turn you into my slaves, make you all serve at my feet."

Eddy looked around for a weapon. Then he saw it, the green-bladed Destiny Sword… it was on the floor next to them, under a mess of parchments and spilled pamphlets, almost calling out to him.

Eddy knelt down and retrieved the sword.

"Okay listen to me Double D," he whispered, "when she walks by here, you distract, I attack. We have one shot."

"I don't like this," Double D protested quietly.

"We have ONE SHOT," Eddy insisted.

Azula began to approach the shelves, her hands were extended as if instantly ready to cast magic.

She was about to approach where Eddy and Double D were hidden when suddenly…Ed's body burst out of a pile of books a few meters away!

"HELLO GUYS!" he said. "What I miss?!"

Azula turned around to face Ed, having been thrown off guard.

NOW!

Double D rushed forward; he launched a clumsy leaping tackle at the firebender. However, Azula was a trained warrior and she turned around instantly. She waved her hand, instantly catching and freezing Double D in mid air with telekinesis. Azula swung her hand and sent Double D rocketing across the room in another direction.

"YIAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH!" Ed rushed at the sorceress from behind.

Smirking, Azula turned around and sent a blast of lightning at him.

"GIAAAAAARGHHHHH!" the tall boy screamed out in pain as he was bathed in lightning from head to toe. Ed was overcome with electricity and fell down to his knees, smoke rising up.

Finally, Eddy made his play. He rushed out from a new angle and moved in, ready to hack at her with the glowing Destiny Sword.

However, the prodigious Azula turned and caught him too in a telekinetic hold.

Eddy was also frozen in place, his sword tantalizingly close to striking her outstretched hand. He couldn't move anymore…

Azula's powerful hazel eyes met Eddy's. Eddy's teeth were bared and his face was contorted with concentration as he struggled with all of his might. If only he was strong enough, if only he could break through her magical bind…

In contrast to Eddy, Azula exerted almost no effort; she simply held a hand out.

Eddy couldn't believe it; they had failed to take her down from three different directions.

"You're mine," she said, relishing the invisible power she had over him. "Drop your sword."

She waved her hand.

Eddy couldn't believe it. As if against his will, his fingers slacked and the useless sword landed with a loud clatter unto the floor.

Eddy's face was bright red as he struggled but still, he could not move.

Azula allowed herself a wide smile. She enjoyed breaking her opponent.

Princess Azula was satisfied. She had enjoyed this battle. Now it was time to end them. Then she could finish her war against the resistance.

She walked over to where Double D and Ed were struggling to get up. Somehow, Ed was still alive, and able to move though his clothes looked fried up. The tall guy could take damage that was for sure.

She waived her hands to re-arrange the heroes. Double D and Ed glided across the room to join Eddy.

Now victorious, Princess Azula turned and looked at the boys. She stood a few meters away from them. Her powerful voice carried across.

"It's over," she said to them. "I am more powerful than you will ever be. You chose to defy me, you must die. You must be put down like the animals you are. Now... embrace your fate."

Eddy felt a rush of fear. So this was how they were going to go out?

Unexpectedly, however, Ed stood up. His face looked extremely defiant as he said:

"I… I STAND WITH MY FRIENDS!"

Eddy felt a rush of emotion as he moved close to Ed. "That's right, COME AT US SISTER! We stand TOGETHER!"

Double D stood up as well, his expression uncharacteristically fierce. As the three of them stood there, facing her, they held hands with each other. The memories came back to them… all of their screw ups in Peach Creek, but they had gone though those as a team too.

Princess Azula was amused by this pathetic showing of solidarity. Is this what they call heroism? They want to die holding hands? Then so be it.

A cruel smile lit up on her face as she raised both of her hands.

The entire room lit up as Azula summoned a large, overwhelming concentration of blue hellfire; it cast a terrifying, ominous flickering effect against her evil visage. The levitating fires churned and turned between the powerful firebender's practiced hands.

The Eds did not move. They simply stood there, accepting their fate.

Letting out a battle cry, Azula unleashed the powerful blast of blue hellfire towards the heroes. The arc was so wide that it can easily incinerate all three of them and much more with a single cast.

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

It was if the divine forces finally intervened. Somehow, a large, powerful white barrier suddenly appeared between the Eds and Azula's incoming death fire.

The powerful blue fire blast was completely blocked by the white magical shield barrier.

KA BOOM!

There was a massive, overwhelming explosion… in its aftermath, a ton of smoke filled the room.

The smoke was gone. The white shield barrier was still up and Ed, Edd and Eddy… were still standing and holding hands! They had been completely protected from one of Azula's most powerful spells. SOMEHOW.

"W…. WHAT?!" she screamed out in rage and denial. "N... NO! That… that's IMPOSSIBLE!"

Nothing. Literally NOTHING had ever blocked her magic in this way before. Her technique and casting were perfect. Azula trembled with rage and disbelief. It was simply impossible for the Eds to withstand that attack!

The Eds were confused too. Finally, they released their hands. The white barrier disappeared.

"What happened?" Ed said. "Ed… Ed no understand."

The nerdy Double D leapt up and down, emboldened by a sudden revelation.

"Don't you see?" he said to the others. "I read it in a book. Azula's evil magic is strong and powerful but there are older forms of magic… the powers of friendship, camaraderie, solidarity…"

"Wait… so you're saying, our Bro Power protected us from her?" Eddy said, wide-eyed. It was a stretch but hours ago, he didn't even know magic existed.

"YES!" Double D said. "That's her weakness. We can stand together. Use the power of friendship to defeat her."

"SUCK ON THAT!" Eddy cried out excitedly at his opponent.

Azula backed off slightly as she saw the three Eds turn and face her, all of them emboldened. They stood in solidarity, holding hands and forming a link once more.

Eddy felt a rush of energy. He raised a hand. As if answering some call of righteousness, the emerald Destiny Sword, now glowing a powerful green again, flew from a corner of the room straight into his waiting hand.

There was a rise in morale amongst the heroes. For the first time in the entire evening, they really felt they had a chance. They could use the power of friendship to fight back.

The usually composed Azula felt herself overtaken by an all-consuming rage. She had incinerated entire towns and armies; her magic was the most powerful weapon in the world. Nothing, and especially not three loser boys from Peach Creek, was going to stand in her way!

Screaming with rage, Azula hurled a series of massive, powerful fireballs straight at the advancing Eds.

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

KA BOOM!

KA BOOM!

KA BOOM!

However, again and again the mysterious white magical barrier appeared in front of the advancing teens… blocking absolutely everything. Useless explosions lit up but the Eds were completely protected as they kept advancing.

Azula's hazel eyes widened with shock and anger as she kept casting more and more fireballs. However, all of it proved to be useless against the powers of friendship.

"NO!" she screamed in anger as she kept blasting them. "NO! NO! NO!"

"This is kind of cool!" Ed exclaimed over the sounds of the explosions as they kept walking forward.

As Eddy walked closer and closer to Azula, he felt a wave of rising, exhilarating excitement.

Azula couldn't believe it. They were going to close the gap.

Now that they were close enough, Eddy released Double D's hand and rushed forward to swing the magical sword at the eastern sorceress.

She still had her telekinesis. Azula focused her mind powers to stop Eddy. Finally, this time… her telekinesis failed. Eddy's sword instantly broke through… the flat side of the sword connected decisively and firmly against the side of Azula's leather clad body.

SMACK!

As the sword connected, Eddy got the sense that a cataclysmic shift in power was about to occur.

Azula was momentarily dazed and stunned by the force of the blow. Almost at once… a portion of Destiny Sword's green energy transferred over to the shocked girl. As Azula stepped back... her red, black and gold battle outfit was lit up with emerald light.

"NO!" she cried out, as she looked down at her body and clothes, convulsing with an overcharge and over buildup of powerful green energy.

The Eds stepped back, amazed at what Eddy's attack had done.

"Fire in the hole," Ed called out.

Suddenly, the firebender was lit up and engulfed in a massive discharge of all the emerald energy.

The Eds shielded their eyes as dust and debris filled the room. Destiny Sword had stopped glowing and all the green had vanished…

When the Eds opened their eyes again, they could not believe what they saw.

Fire Princess Azula stood before them, completely naked from head to toe.

Her tanned, athletic, exotic feminine body was on full display. Her small supple breasts faced the Eds. Her shaved royal cunt was visible between her bare legs. Her footwear had all gone so she now stood barefooted before them.

Her tiara was now gone so that her beautiful black hair ran straight down. This hairstyle was a good look for her, a perfect match with her hazel eyes and red lips.

As the three teenage boys from Peach Creek looked at the fully naked and disgraced Azula, they could not help but feel the rise of raging, rock hard boners. Their eyes soaked in every detail of the attractive young woman's naked body.

Eddy's attack had quite literally taken away all of the evil girl's clothes! The clothes were incinerated by Destiny Sword. However, Azula's perfect, nubile body was undamaged and on full display now.

Azula had never in her life felt so outraged, embarrassed and humiliated. These boys shouldn't be getting THIS from her! They were SO going to die now!

Her hands were balled into fists as her face was locked into an expression of pure wrath. Instinctively, she moved her legs close together to hide her pussy as her face turned a crimson color.

"Don't worry Azula," Eddy said. "I saw nothing. Don't sit on it."

"Ed saw nothing," Ed said, darting his eyes away. "No, oops, Ed saw everything."

This caused Azula to fly into a seething rage.

She was a goddess of magic. She could bend fire. They were peasants. They weren't even magic users of any kind. She should be able to obliterate them!

Screaming with rage, she raised her hands and sent a fireball straight at Ed; hoping to set his head on fire.

The Eds reacted just in time, causing the magical barrier to appear in the nick of time.

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

This time, the barrier didn't simply block the spell… instead, there was a CLANGING sound as the flaming projectile was redirected. The fast moving fireball traveled in a clean arc to the back... it homed in on a new target with the speed of a rocket: Princess Azula's exposed derriere. Azula was hit by her own spell and her ass was instantly ignited.

"YIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHHH!"

The disgraced Azula clasped her roasted ass cheeks with both hands as she leapt, jigged, and danced around for a few seconds, all the while crying out. She was forced to mutter an incantation to put out the fire.

Eddy couldn't help it; a bit of laughter escaped from his mouth. Double D looked away, unable to imagine how embarrassing this must be for the bad girl.

"Why she roast herself?" Ed asked. "Why she roast herself in bum bum?"

Azula had recovered. Since she was a magic user, her ass looked remarkably undamaged. However, the reflected spell had damaged her magical essence. Coated with sweat, she glared at the smug Eds, unable to believe what had just happened.

Her fire magic. Her great magical power. All of it literally useless against these commoners!

"Azula," Double D reasoned with her. "I think it's time for you to surrender. Your magic is useless against us. This fight isn't fair anymore."

This caused the princess to go into a total tantrum because she didn't get her way. She leapt up and down like a spoiled child as she shrieked and raged in desperation:

"I… I am PRINCESS AZULA! The… THE EMPRESS OF FIRE! LEADER OF THE FIRE NATION! I'm… I'm a FIRE BENDING PRODIGY! You… you are all NOTHING to me! I… I am ROYALTY! I… I won't TOLERATE THIS KIND OF TREATMENT!"

Eddy was amused. It was all really satisfying after she had earlier toyed with them and thrown them around like dolls.

"Well princess," he taunted back. "It's about time someone showed you your proper place."

In response to this taunt, Azula was filled rage. How dare he talk her down like that! She sent a blast of lightning at Eddy, hoping to fry him from head to toe.

As expected…

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

CLANG!

The electricity was redirected in a circular arc, it reached around the back and struck the firebender's behind.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Currents of lightning supercharged her ass and spread to her entire body. Once more, she performed an impromptu dance and jig in front of the heroes while clasping her ass; this time to the tune of yelps and cackles of travelling electricity.

Eddy chuckled as he turned to Double D. "Wow why would she try that again? Not very bright eh?"

"I think she's just maladjusted," Double D remarked almost sadly.

"HUH!" Ed laughed. "HUH HUH HUH!"
