We were on the deck of Zuko's ship; I stood in the middle of Zuko's men so I was concealed by Azula so she wouldn't be able to recognize me. Well, at least not yet.
It almost seemed like there was a line straight down the ship, no one dared to step over it, as the prince and princess began to, talk.
"Brother, how are you?" Azula stood perfectly still, her hands clasped behind her back.
"What do you want?" Zuko snarled back, Azula only looked amused.
"You see Zuko, Daddy thinks you're a disgrace to our family and ordered me to handle the situation, my way." I could see the evil glint in her eyes; looking around and I quickly saw that were outnumbered by a hundred men. This isn't going to end well….
"Get out of here Azula." Zuko ordered, but she only laughed.
"I didn't come here to give you an option Zuko; in fact I came here to put an end to this." She nods to her men behind her, "And I'm ending this my way." With that her hand shot out with her blue fire and aimed straight towards Zuko, and so the fight began.
I stood perfectly in my spot as his men charged at Azula's; scanning the fight before me, fire erupted at different angles and I was just waiting for someone to take down. And what do you know, I got my wish.
A fire ball came straight towards me, quickly back flipping out of the way, I run to the man, easily dodging the other fire blasts and when I was in arm's length away, I slammed my fist into the side of his head. He crumbles to the floor, taking this opportunity I brought my heel down on his heart. He took a gasp of air, but with the force I was pretty sure I had damaged some part of his heart.
I picked up his limp body and threw him over the ship, "Good riddance," Then a stream of fire barely missed me, I turned to see two of Azula's men. "Ah great." I bended the water from the ocean so it was encased in my hands, their eyes went wide for a minute. "What? You honestly thought I was a Fire Bender?" I scoffed, I set the water in a jet stream towards both men; one of them ducked under but the other was thrown back to the other side of the boat.
"Bitch." The man muttered as he was getting up, I quirk an eyebrow.
"You know, I've been hearing that a lot lately." I formed a water whip, making it encircle the man's ankle, but before I could yank he turned the water into steam with his blast. "Big mistake." I bended the steam as it went though his nose into his body; slowly freezing his limbs he began to drop to the floor, his lip quivering.
"Stop!" I heard someone order; looking behind me I glanced and saw six of Azula's men trapping me up against the side of the boat. Easy. And so I did, I slowly began to make the water rage under the ship, making everyone's balance falter a second. I brought the water from the sea in a huge wave and crashed it on the boat knocking down every man near me. I breathed on the left over water, icing the men to the floor. I went to one of the men and kicked him across the face,
"I hate Fire Nation…" And it wasn't a lie.
"So you're the Avatar's girl?" I knew that voice, and I slowly I turned my body to look at the gold eyes. Holding my head higher, I met her gaze, "You took them down." No emphasis, no emotion held in her words.
"Yeah, what are you surprised?" Sarcastically asking, but she only gave a laugh,
"Please, I'm surprised they lasted this long." My eyes narrowed as I watched her movements carefully,
"Then maybe you should you leave, you're out numbered Azula." Smirking she backed away a few feet.
"You really don't know me do you?" She jumped in the air and she swiped her foot down sending a wave of blue fire straight at me, I grabbed water and easily froze it shielding me from the blast. I heard her land on her feet and I immediately let the ice turn back into water and blast it straight towards her. She ducked under, but I was expecting that, the water dropped on her head and as she tried to attack once more, I froze the water on her body. She was becoming stiff as she tried to melt the water by increasing her body temperature, but I was winning.
I heard a groan to my left and I slowly cast my eyes to see a heap of dead mass, and the familiar red clothes and black hair. Gasping I dropped the water on Azula and ran to Zuko, turning him on his back.
"Zuko…" I trail off while I noticing the burn mark on his chest, just barely missing his heart.
"Katara…" He groaned out, I encased water in my hands as they glowed blue; I gently touch his chest desperately trying to heal it.
"Stay with me Zuko. Come on stay with me!" I nearly screamed as his pulse began to slow down. "Don't do this to me!" This time I did scream, and I pulled away from the burn, it was healed but I could feel that some of the burn had already burned part one of his main arteries. I could heal it, but it would take time, and right now time was not on my side.
"Seize her!" Azula orderd form the floor as her men were getting out of the ice; two men helped her up as she began to stabilize herself.
"Stay away." I whispered deadly, as I heard two men approach me, and they didn't listen. I slowly got up, as I faced each one of them; I deflected a fire blast, I brought the water from the ocean and hovered it over their heads, I quickly turned the water into ice, more specifically icicles. I commanded the ice to drop down on their heads; only one escaped the barrage, but the other was met with am unfortunate demise. The other man charged at me with sending fire streaming towards me, I quickly jumped and flipped in the air, escaping the blast. I sent an aerial kick to his face knocking him on the ground. "I told you." I made the water around me hover above his head ready to slice down on him, but before I could two men tackled me to the floor. "Get off!" I thrashed in their grip, but their grip was like steel; they force me to stand as Azula stalked towards me,
"I should kill you now." I met her piercing gaze, "But I'll let my father decide on that. I'm sure he would love a new concubine. "
"No he won't." That voice! But it couldn't be…could it? I watched as Zuko stood up, fire encased in his hands, "Let her go Azula." Azula turned to her brother,
"And who's going to make me?" She taunted,
"I will." Zuko charged at Azula and sent a wall of fire towards her; easily she cut through the wall and sent her blue fire towards him. He ducked under the fire sending a low fire stream towards her feet, she tried to move but Zuko was expecting that. He shot another blast at her chest; she flew back hitting her back against the other side of the ship. The men held me tighter, "Let her go." Zuko's voice growled, but the men didn't falter; and before I could warn him, Zuko was hit with blue fire, meeting his stomach. He hit the steel wall, and Azula approached him.
I couldn't breathe, and my scream couldn't erupt from my throat as I was forced to watch this scene. Zuko was pinned to the steel wall by Azula's left hand; his body wasn't moving.
I struggled in the guards' grasp, desperately trying to reach him, but their grip wasn't slackening. Azula's hand was alit with her trademark blue fire as she held it up to Zuko's limp body; he began to take hard and labored breaths, groaning in process.
"You have no idea how much I've wanted to do this." Azula's fire erupted from her hand growing larger by the second, "Goodbye, Brother." Sneering, Azula drew back her hand and shot it forward.
NOOOO! I felt my body become numb, watching the sight unfold before me, under the full moon. Bitch, you're dead.
My fingers twitched and immediately the guards' grip fell and before they could make a sound I threw them off the ship making sure to drag them to the depths of the ocean. Before the fire reached Zuko's heart, it died.
"Wh-what?" Azula shrieked as I twisted her arm behind her back, I made her march towards me. "Wh-what are you doing?" Her voice tried to sound demanding, but the fear in her eyes was telling me otherwise.
"Making sure you get what you deserve." I heard her men come for me, but I only smirked. I made her walk in front of me, and using her bending I sent a wave of lightning. The majority of her men fell off the side of the ship, the few twenty stood there motionless. "Now, you will leave!" I ordered, they looked at Azula,
"Do not listen to this peasant!" Azula snarled, but their fear of me overpowered their fear of her; nodding their heads they ran to their ship and un-hooked from Zuko's. They sailed off in the opposite direction; Zuko's men were whistling and cheering. But only Azula could watch in horror while screaming curses.
"Oh shut up!" I screamed at her, suddenly I had an idea. I bended the water from the ocean and encased her in an orb of water, I gave her a small air bubble over her nose. Walking towards her, "Now you only have a small amount of oxygen, so if I were you I would be careful." I warned, I dropped my bloodbending and she only glared at me. I rushed back to Zuko while I tending to Zuko's burn, "Please Zuko, you can't end like this." I whisper, my hands were doing their best as I concentrated on his heart the most part. I heard Iroh come up from behind me and place a gentle hand on my shoulder. But I only shrugged it off.
"Katara…..it may be too late…" His voice trailed off, and I shook my head, tears prickling at my eyes.
"No. It's not." I retract my hands and order two men, "Take him to his room, there I can perform a better healing session." They nodded stiffly as they picked up his damaged body.
"If you can do this Katara, we all will be in your debt." I nod my head before following after the men.
Once they set Zuko down on his bed I ordered them out so I could have privacy, they immediately obeyed. I heard his breath come short and long, but that was a good sign that he was recovering; bending the water out of the air I preceded again. After an hour I had healed every part of his body, and I was exhausted. I began to stand up, but a warm hand encircled my wrist and brought me back down.
"Why?" He rasped out, his eyes were shut and his body was motionless.
"Because, if you weren't here then who would I be able to irritate?" My voice was playful as a smile etched across his face.
"Thank you." He brought my hand to his lips and placed a hot kiss,
"You're welcome hothead, and now you need to sleep let your body recover." I was about to retract my hand leave, but held onto me tighter.
"Please stay with me." I smile; I laid down next to him. His arm encircled my waist, my face buried in his bare chest, inhaling his scent.
"Always."
