Author's Note: Whoa, how long has it been since I last updated? Well, that doesn't matter. What matters is, you'll get to find out who'll win the Agni Kai battle. I have a feeling you already know who's going to win. Now that I'm back, enjoy!
Chapter 14 - Battle to the Death, The Agni Kai
Previously:
We last saw Zuko in the Agni Kai, getting ready to challenge Zhao.
The crowd went over to the Agni Kai.
Katara, Mei, Aang and Sokka watched from a stand.
Zuko walked out first, then came Zhao. They both dropped their vests and got into fighting position.
Zuko looked at Katara, then at Mei.
"Snap out of it lover boy, and get ready to fight." said Zhao.
Zuko shot him another cold stare.
"I won't lose to you Zhao." said Zuko.
"I just hope you're wrong." said Zhao.
Zuko threw flames at Zhao trying to catch him off guard, but Zhao blocked Zuko's attack and came running towards Zuko with blazing fists.
"What do you think you're doing Zuko? Are you putting up a fight or a kiddy show?" asked Zhao.
"What does it look like you you?" asked Zuko as he shot flames from his hands.
"Looks like a kiddy fight to me." said Zhao. As he dodged Zuko's attack again."Are you putting up a show for your precious Mei?"
"That,and the fact that I'm trying to kick your ass in front of her." said Zuko sarcastically.
"You're pathetic." said Zhao as he did a low kick to throw Zuko off guard.
Zuko fell on his back. Zhao walked toward him and placed his left foot upon his chest.
"Is that it?" asked Zhao.
Zuko opened his eyes and pulled Zhao down by his ankles.
"Not quite." said Zuko.
Zuko shot flames at Zhao.
"Fire doesn't hurt me." said Zhao as he got up.
Zuko fiercefuly sent a high kick at Zhao, causing to lose balance.
Zhao smirked and wiped the blood off of his lip.
"About time." said Zhao.
Zhao did a combination of punches and high kicks. Zuko dodged the first two attacks, but got thrown off guard after the third high kick.
Zuko fell down again, but got up immediately and came running towards Zhao with a firey fist. Zhao blocked his attack. Zuko smirked at him as if he wanted him to block his attack. Zuko grabbed Zhao's arm and threw him over. Zhao got up and sent more flames as Zuko came running toward him again. Zuko came towards Zhao with a fiery punch in the face, and an unexpected fiery punch in the stomach. Zhao fell once again, but this time he could no longer get up.
Zuko walked toward Zhao and placed his right foot upon his chest.
"Go ahead, finish me." said Zhao.
"That's it? You're just going to give up like that?" asked Zuko.
"Just do it!" said Zhao.
"No." said Zuko.
"Don't back down like you did the last time we battled!" said Zhao.
"I'm being fair." said Zuko. "Besides, if I finished you off, Katara wouldn't speak to me."
"I have to admit, your father did raise a coward." said Zhao. "But your mother raised a leader."
Zhao got up slowly.
"While challenging you, I noticed something. During all these years, I was only trying to prove to your father that I could be a better leader than you. Seeing as I'm not. I have no choice but to give up my reign as Fire Lord, and hand the glory to your sister Zula." said Zhao.
"What!" asked Zuko. "You expect me to challenge my own sister to the Agni Kai?"
"Why not? It's a fair advantage." said Zhao.
Zuko shot him another punch.
Zhao back at Zuko and smirked and walked out of the stadium.
A shadow approached the door way.
Zuko's eyes widened.
"Are you ready?" asked the voice.

Sorry it had to be so short, but I'm using my cousin's computer, and I have to be home soon. My computer is still broken. I'll try to update as soon as I can, and remember, NO FLAMES.
