Zuko's POV

I walk into the crowd and examine the guests. Most of the people are probably Zhao's guests and the others are Nobleman and their daughters. I do not notice my mother or Uncle. I walk by a group of daughters and they giggle as they point. I pay no attention for I know whom I care for.

After getting into place I await my sister's arrival I am to escort her down the hall. I watch as Katara walks past me without even a second thought. She is wearing a dark red robe with flowers pinned all over it signifying she is the Maid of Honor. Her hair pinned on top of her head. I contain my lust for her but I know it can be seen in my eyes. Soon they announce the arrival for Azula and I turn my arm out for her to take. She walks up and loops her arm through mine and squeezes I know what that signifies for Katara had told her the theory and I wasn't spoken to again. I walk step by step until I hand her away to Zhao. I try to relax my jaw as he takes Azula's hand for everything must go smoothly.

They begin the wedding and soon it passes to the part where it all begins.

"Does anyone have any reason why these two should not be together?"

Looking about no one says anything but just as they are about to continue Aang burst in.

"I do." Aang says pointing to himself.

Step 1: Interrupt the Wedding (check)

I smirk for it was the time I had been waiting for.

Everyone turns to see Aang standing in the door way.

"You can't have any fees able objection. The only thing you can object to is if you find that I violate standards for Princess Azula and I believe we already proved that I passed." Zhao says.

"I object for Azula's hand in marriage." Aang yells.

"You can't object for that." Zhao says smirking.

"Actually he can. You see you can't object for anything other than the reasons you state unless you're willing to fight an Agni Kai. If you know your Fire Nation rules so well you would know this is number 345 in the Fire Nation Wedding rules." I state.

Step 2: Point out how he can object (check)

I watch as Zhao throws Azula's hand down and his smirk disappears.

"You insolent children! Fine you want to fight an Agni Kai I will prove a lesson your Father should have taught you a long time ago. What are your conditions?" Zhao says.

"If we win you release Azula and she is free to go and be with whom she wants." Aang says stating our terms.

"If I win?" Zhao says smirking.

"Then the wedding continues as if nothing happened." I say.

"Deal. You have five minutes to prepare." Zhao says walking away.

Step 3: State the conditions (check)

I begin to take my robe off and it drops to the floor revealing my black training pants. The crowd steps back as Aang, Zhao, and I step forward.

"Let the Agni Kai begin." Zhao says.

Normal POV

Wasting no time Zhao shoots out fireballs at Aang and Zuko. Dodging them Aang floats into the air and throws air back at Zhao pushing him back a few feet. Zuko jumps and avoids nearly being burned and throws out fire balls. The attack misses and Zhao steps forward once more. Without realizing it Zhao has shot a fireball at Aang without time to deflect it or move it hits Aang in the chest and Aang flies back landing on the ground, unmoving.

Zuko's eyes widen at the sight of Aang while Zhao merely stands laughing. Anger building inside of Zuko.

"Your friend is worthless. He is much better dead." Zhao says laughing.

Without a second thought Zuko jumps forward and rams into Zhao sending him back. Astonished Zhao reciprocates by kicking, Zuko grasps his leg and twists it Zhao screams in agony and Zuko releases it. After Zhao recovers Zuko and Zhao match punch for punch, kick for kick until Zhao releases a fireball at Zuko. It hits Zuko stomach and he flies back thought to be unconscious.

Cries could be heard through out the gardens and most coming from the people who didn't believe Zuko. Katara runs forward but Hakoda grabs her around the waist. Zhao turns and laughs about to step down and claim his bride once more. When he is at the step Zuko sits up grunting, and gasps could be heard throughout the guests. Zhao thinking they are because he won doesn't pay any attention to the people behind him.

Getting up Zuko notices Aang getting up too. Helping him up they exchange looks quickly nodding to signify they know what to do Zuko gets into stance. He takes a deep breath and begins to move his fingertips. Blue lightening begins to form and Zuko's eyes are still closed. Looking over Aang prepares his attack. As the blue fire is about to leave his fingertips, Zhao turns hearing the commotion. Aang shoots out a gust of wind pushing Zhao against the wall and Zuko releases the fire thinking of only one target. Zhao. Since Zuko attacked so quickly after Aang's attack it allowed no room for Zhao to escape and the blue killer collided with Zhao's heart.

Everyone watches as Zhao sinks to the floor and Zuko walks toward him. Left with only one breath Zhao uses it on Zuko.

"Somehow your father knew you world stab him or someone close to him in the back. Just wish I would have known it was me" Zhao says as his eyes glaze over and blood trickles out of his mouth.

When Zuko turns around everyone can only stare for Zhao was dead and lying in his own pool of blood. The Agni kai may have been short but it changed the course of history and what possibly could have altered everyone's life forever.

Katara's POV

I have been completely unmovable as I watched the fight take place. I only moved when Zuko was hurt. I couldn't grasp that the person I believed could have started all of this was the one who ended it. When Zuko turns he stares at me all I needed was the look in his eye to know he didn't do it. To know he did care.

I drop my flowers and run as the crowd parts to allow me through. When I reach Zuko my lips slam against his and we stand holding each other and kissing. When we pull apart I apologize.

"I'm sorry I should have believed you. I thought that maybe I would lose you because you seemed so great and I didn't know if I could live up to that and at least this way I would break up with you instead of you breaking up with me. I think I thought this way I didn't have to take the rejection…." I say but end up being cut off by his lips.

"I love you." He says when he pulls away from me with love, lust and determination to make this work in his eyes.

"I love you, too." I say my eyes reflecting the same emotions as he pulls me toward him and our lips meet in a passionate kiss.

Fire Lady Ursa's POV

"We seem to have come at the right time." Ursa says.

As she and Uncle watch Sokka and Azula hold each other, Zuko and Katara kiss, and Toph embrace Aang in what looks like a bone crushing hug.

"Yes Lady Ursa. But I think someone has some explaining to do." Uncle says as he examines Zhao's dead body and the young couples.
