Revenge

Part II

In the land of the blind one-eye is king

Disclaimer: Would you finaly get this? I don't own atla! (I do however own my own characters and the plot of this story, which makes me kind of in the need of therapy.)

Okay, first of THIS AIN'T THE FINALE. The next chapter will be. But I think I'll do either an epilogue, a lemon, or both.

But seeing as the end nears, I want to say: Thanks to everyone who took time to read this story. I personnaly think part one was better, and I told you all, that this wouldn't be as good. Cause lets be honest, sequals usualy are les good. But thanks for your support.

Chapter eleven: Leaves the whole world blind

Fully dressed they looked at each other. Hurio made sure they looked like real dy lee agents.

"Keep your hats over your heads, let them cover your face." He said passing them the official big round hats. "For no reason show your head okay? They're out looking for you."

"Sure, but you'd better be right about being able of getting us in the same room as Azula." Said Toph.

"Yeah, if I end up in a basement like that again..." Sokka brought up.

Toph couldn't resist but kiss him right there and then. She got on her toe's and brought her soft lips to his rough and strong lips. Those locked and her tongue invaded his mouth, pressing his like the tides of the waves. Strong and unstoppable, moving far in and pulling out, moving farther in and then out again, this went on for a bit until Hurio intervened.

"And defnitelly don't do that once your in there!"

Sokka and Toph blushed as they broke their kiss. "Is it against Dy lee rules to date amongst colleagues?" laughed Toph.

"No" explained Hurio "But only men are put in action, so when your doing that..."

"Oh" laughed Sokka. Toph and Hurio joined him in this humorous situation, somewhere deep inside them they knew they were laughing because they were so nervous.

"But if all dy lee agents are men..." Realised Toph as they stopped laughing. "Won't my, you knows, stick out?"

Sokka laughed out loud again. "Hahahaha, stick out!"

Toph grinned but kept her wits. "Sort of speak Sokka!"

"Yeah," Said Hurio "But your suit is a bigger size then ours. And the armor will hide "them"."

A silence grew over their conversation.

"Thanks Hurio. Thanks for everything." Sokka said, his words sounding fragile.

"It's nothing." Hurio responded

"It's not nothing!" Toph spoke loudly. "You really came through for us."

"Yeah man, you're like more of a saint then father Christmas!" Sokka yelled.

"Father Christmas? Who the hell is that?" Wondered Hurio.

"Nah, just some saint figure, a fairy tale at the southern tribe, forget I said it. You know what I mean."

"Yeah I guess I kind of do."

Toph walked over to Hurio, not fully knowing what she was doing; she hugged him. "Thanks" She whispered.

Hurio got a tear in his eye. He hugged her back, as hard as he could. "You so look like my daughter."

"You're a dad?" Sokka asked, totally flabbergasted.

"Yeah, but... not a good one. We ... had a fight eight years back. Haven't seen her since. Heard she got a child,four winters ago..."

"You should go see her." Toph said, ending the hug.

"To late for that I'm afraid."

"It's never to late. I've had parent issue's myself. I didn't talk to them for two years. But now... wel were not the best family ever, but ... we will be alright."

"Thanks for the hope." Hurio smiled. "But, even if ... I won't see tomorow. If either of you survive..."

"Don't talk like that!"

"Tell her I love her."

"I said don't talk like that!" Toph was really frustrated. So Sokka stepped in. He placed his hand on Hurio's shoulder.

"You'll tell her yourself." He promised. "Now lets go."

Hurio walked in front as Toph and Sokka were behind him, Sokka on his right and Toph at his left. As they walked Hurio began a conversation. "You know, I remember the first day I met you guys, like it was yesterday."

"Congratulations" Laughed Toph. "It was like three days ago."

"Actually, more like six years."

"What are you talking about."

"I still worked in defence, head of defence of the palace really. I got this crummy job after I failed to protect the palace from four children breaking in. Kind of a depromotion, seeing as I had this position before I got my promotion to head of defence of the palace."

"Oh" Toph knew there wasen't really anything to laugh about but she did it anyway. Luckily Hurio didn't take offence. "We're really bad luck to you."

"Yeah, I even got knocked out by the avatar's girl."

"You don't mess with the sugar-queen." Smirked Toph. "Aah, the good old days."

The conversation continued with memory's of Toph and Sokka's joined past until they neared Azula's castle of a home.

"Figures she lives in something as grand as this." Sighed Sokka as he gazed on the red villa.

They approached the gates and a guard walked over to them.

"Watcha doing 'ere?" He asked rudely, recognising Hurio, who had been here twice before.

Hurio looked back in the guards eyes, he wasn't afraid from a punk like this. He held out the fake warrent and told him. "We need to talk to ms. Stonehenge."

The guard grabbed the piece of paper and stared at it, spat on the ground and made a hand signal to the guards at the house, hundred metres away. And then let them pass. They were watched as they walked towards the house, but were not accompanied. They looked like real Dy lee agents.

Toph whispered. "It will soon all be over..."

"Yeah, it will." Sokka whispered even softer.

"What did you do anyway to get this fucking psycho on your back." Hurio asked them.

"Long story. I don't want to talk about it." Toph stated.

"I mean, she must have known that you were in town for a long, long time. Every time the avatar's party gets in town she knows." He continued.

"Hurio, just let it go..." Her voice demanding, yet pleading.

"I wonder..." Hurio didn't seem to hear her. "... what did you do to make her come out of her hole?"

"Drop it!" Her whisper sounded violent and warning.

"... Oh, Oh shit!" Hurio realised just what it was but didn't stop moving, how could he, being watched and all.

"Ah Fuck." Sokka dropped.

"Fang was right! You killed... all those people."

"It's not what you think. We had good reasons." Sokka tried to explain.

"We? You both did it. I thought just you Sokka. Are you vigilantes?"

"No more then you." Toph told him

"I can't do this, you guys ought to be in jail."

"We'll all be in a coffin if you don't shape up." Toph whispered as quietly as they could. They had arrived at the villa and couldn't discuss any further.

Toph felt Hurio's heartbeat go up, he was confused, angry, he felt betrayed. She knew, she should have told him before. Now, what did he think? He didn't know the whole story. How the men didn't leave her any choice. She remembered slicing every one of those wounds, finishing her revenge, curing because of Sokka. She had learned that by taking the law in your own hands, people had to pay. People like; Sokka losing his eye, Hurio losing his job and faith and Fang losing his life. She learned that those that repent, still had to pay, like the priest. So where was she in all of this. Wouldn't this act get her more and more trouble? She was taking the law in her own hands yet again, even after what it caused last time. And could she repent, for all the harm she caused to the innocent she harmed, to Sokka, Hurio and Fang? If she would repent, she'd still pay. By not doing this, Azula would find her. She thought about Sokka, and this combined with her new theories on revenge she finally got the saying, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

While she was this deep in her thoughts she followed her two 'associates' and a few guards through the house. It was for this that she was suprised when she found herself inside the house. Her body had followed but her mind had stayed behind, wondering. She'd have to focus, stay with it, for one slip up with Azula could mean the end.

They were in a big room, and as she waited for Azula to arrive, someone else walked in, protected by guards, twelve of them. The man who was guarded spoke in a calm voice; "I am miss Stonehenge's lawyer."

"Yes, we've met before." Toph could hear Hurio say.

"Anything you want to tell her, you can tell me." Sounded the lawyers cocky voice.

"Oh, I guess you'd like to go to jail, instead of her then?" Hurio replied.

"How dare you... You can't take her to jail! You don't have the authority."

Sokka answered, while still not revealing his face. "There's a new chef in town."

"This is ridiculous!" Yelled the lawyer.

Hurio spoke again "The sooner she gets to the precinct, the sooner she'll be back. I have no illusions of having enough proof to keep her there."

The lawyer seemed to become calm with this and realised that that was true, nobody would have the guts to stand up to his master. She'd be perfectly safe, all he could do was hope that she didn't take her frustration out on him. "Fine" He caved in, follow me. He lead them up the stairs to the third floor. There they halted before massive doors. Toph could hear and sense all the guards, about sixty of them. All had their eyes fixated upon the trio. The lawyer moved himself to the doors and opened them. If Toph could have seen she'd see the red colors that would haunt any soldier's nightmares. The red of the dreaded Fire nation. It was everywhere, all across the long chamber at which end's sat a woman behind a desk. Guarded at each side by two men. A very familiar woman. Toph could sense her looking up and recognised her heartbeat, her breath, her distinct senth. This was ms. Stonehenge, this was Azula.

As soon as they set foot in the room and Azula greeted them in an unkindly way. But before she could continue, they put their plan into motion. As Hurio had told them, the entire house was made of would. She didn't thrust earth inside her house because a she feared any kind of weakness. And having an element she couldn't control in her house, made her weak. If the house were put ablaze, she'd be able to handle the flames. Luckily there was however a lot of metal in the room, like the doors and a lot of bars holding up the red drapes, not only that Hurio had hidden a lot of earth underneath his long coat, constantly bending it so it didn't fall on the ground. In a split second Sokka kicked the lawyer in his chest and made him fly out of the room through the big doors. Seeing as he was the only one who had entered the room along with the trio, Toph used her metal bending forces to close the doors as quickly as she could and locked them as well by bending the lock. Azula, who had the reflexes of a tiger, already jumped over her desk and shot a bolt of lightning at the group. They anticipated this move however and from Hurio's coat flew a stone wall, ready to hold of the lightning during they're vulnerable seconds. Sokka drew his (actually the priest's) sword and got behind Hurio and in front of Toph who now summoned metal from everywhere in the room, bending it around her arms. In the length of her fingers were now long sharp blades, one at each finger, like shiny claws. All three threw of their hats as Azula took an attacking stance and her two guards lined up beside her.

Azula didn't seem the least suprised by their attempt to bring her down. Toph couldn't sense one differation in her heartbeat. With Azula, however, you could never be certain. She mocked them as she spoke: "Ah, my dear old friends. How pleasent that you come to visit."

"Don't worry." Toph responded "We'll be going soon."

"Aw, still as bitchy as ever? Somethings never change." As nobody said anything she continued. "But somethings do change. Isn't that right peasant?" She directed herself to Sokka. "Now you've got one eye for two people. Keep this up and you'll both be blind soon."

"He only needs one eye to kill you." Toph said before Sokka could say anything.

"Well... Then I'll just have to make sure he doesn't has one."

The two guards got what she meant and ran at the trio with their swords risen. Sokka got in front of Toph and it was clear what he was doing, he'd hold of the guards while she and Hurio would go after Azula. He blocked the guards way towards his friends and the pairing had begun. Under the ruckus of the men outside trying to barge through the heavy doors the blades met for the first time. Sokka blocked the guard on his lefts sword which flung from high and quickly spinned to fight of the other side. These men were trained.

Azula shot bolt after bolt at Hurio's wall of stone that he used to protect himself and Toph as they ran at her. But his defence was failing and every shock made him lose more control. When they were ten metres away he couldn't hold it any longer. The shock made his shield shatter and he himself fell backwards. Toph however ran as quick as she could and swung her blade hands towards Azula. Azula however was very agile and ducked if a blade came from up high and jumped out of the way if it came from below.

Sokka attacked ferociously swinging his blade left to right, right to left. But they were very strong and it was two against one. Whenever he attacked he was put back into a defencive real soon. Hurio got up and gathered his earth. He looked over the situation in a blink of an eye and decided Sokka needed his help more right now. For Sokka, whilst fighting one guard, didn't seem to notice the second man coming up from behind him. Hurio shot a boulder at the guard who was sneaking behind Sokka. He however saw it coming and jumped up to avoid it. What he didn't know was that Sokka knew he was creeping up behind him and in a fast spin Sokka kicked the man while he jumped, making him fly a few metres, and turned back to the other one. Just in time for the man's sword came from above slicing down towards him, he could only just in time block it with his sword. Creating an X form with the blades. They both put their full force in their blades. Their eyes (or eye in Sokka's case) met.

Toph aimed her left arm as she got enough of Azula's jumping around, and in a nick of a second she shot her entire left metal arm towards Azula. The sharp point neared the princess and all she could do was bend backwards far enough to let it fly over her. Toph used this to her advantage as she kicked Azula's legs to make her fall on her back. She quickly rolled over however and shot a small bolt of lightning that was so fast that there was no way Toph would be able to avoid it.

Sokka just fought of the second guard for a short while as he saw Toph shoot her metal blade. He acted without thinking and took out his boomerang. As Azula rolled over he got ready to throw it at Azula. But he could see what would happen before it happened and directed the course of the boomerang as he nearly threw it. The bolt flew through the air as his boomerang did to. About a foot before Toph's face the two met and exploded. Toph would have been temporarily blinded by the bright light so close to her face if she could see. Azula however rushed towards the now unarmed Toph. One of the guards got ready to cut Sokka in half as he was distracted. But just before his blade could reached it's target, it hit something hard. Hurio had covered his arm in stone and blocked the attack. Sokka quickly ran towards Toph to defend her as Hurio punched the suprised guard. That guard fell down, but at that moment the other one came running at Hurio.

Another quick bolt of lightning was shot at Toph, but this time she was ready and avoided it. Sokka slashed his sword at Azula as he got close enough to her. She did a backwords flip however to avoid it and used her legs to shoot fire at Sokka. Toph used this diversion to quickly summon her metal blades again. Then she joined Sokka in his slashing and avoiding.

Hurio just knocked down the last remaining guard when Azula dodged the three blades by jumping aside and shot a bolt at Hurio. His eyes widened and he fell on his knees only to fall forwards on his chest. Filled with rage Sokka made a blind move, he swung his blade in rage, not caring about his defence. Azula didn't spare this foolishness and shot lightning at his feet, she missed though but the blast sent Sokka flying across the room.

"Sokkaaa!" Yelled Toph.

Azula quickly turned to Toph and tried to electric-punch Toph. Toph wouldn't have seen it coming if it hadn't been for her lessons with Piandao. Although it took all her will, she wasn't blinded by rage. She swirled around the fist and swung her own right sword at her. Azula dodged this by jumping, and doing a salto, over Toph's head. When their backs faced each-others they quickly turned around. Azula had another bolt ready to shoot at Toph, and Toph had transformed her blades into a metal ball which she sent flying at Azula. The two attacks met in about the middle of the distance and made an enormous explosion. Toph could feel herself lifted from the ground by the force of it and was sent flying through the room. As she smacked down her 'seeing' forces got weaker. She could vaguely 'see' someone walking over to her. But she wasn't sure who it was. Her mind got fuzzy and as the figure neared she blacked out.

A/N Well, probably my longest chapter, not really that bloody, but the finale will be. I hope I got you kind of pissed for this last cliffhanger. I just had to put one in, because I thought it was funny. Yes I'm evil.
