After their session in Zuko's room, the girls left the palace, heading back towards the gardens. Azula felt slightly disoriented at what occurred earlier. The moans and groans from the acrobat were playing over in her head. Such dirty, peasant language had escaped her lips. Azula wondered where she had learned such eroticism. The way her body contortioned and writhed above her made her almost hyperventilate as they neared the pond. The two sat by the pond and looked at the turtle ducks. Azula thought about throwing a rock at them.
"Deeper! Yes!"
Her breath caught in her throat as the acrobat's words flashed in her mind.
"Are you ok?" Asked Ty Lee as if nothing had occurred only moments earlier.
"I am perfectly fine," Azula lied avoiding the girl's eyes.
"Fuck me princess, right there! Right there! Fuck Agni!"
Azula shook her head.
"Mai! Where have you been?"
The princess looked up to see a disgruntled Mai with a letter in hand. From the look on her face, Azula assumed it had to be from Zuko.
"Looking for you two. Where were you?" asked the knife expert dully.
The girls eyed one another. "Faster! Don't stop. Keep fucking me!" Azula's stomach churned and she stood quickly to distance herself from the acrobat. Obviously undeterred by the action, Mai rolled her eyes.
"Zuko did not get captured. He's decided to join the avatar. My uncle just wrote me that he's been captured at the Boiling Rock prison".
Azula began to process the new information.
"Oh Agni! Here it comes. Yes!"
"Azula!"
The princess shook her head, narrowing her eyes in recognition of her name.
"Mai is upset. Aren't you going to say something?" asked Ty Lee.
Azula shrugged passively. She could care less about Mai's sulking because Mai was always sulking.
"Well, maybe we should visit the Boiling Rock and have a little chat with my brother".
Mai nodded. "Yes, but let me talk to him first. May I can persuade him to rethink this foolishness".
Azula pondered this.
"Yes! That works, Mai," overstepped Ty Lee. "Zuko will listen to you. Right Azula?"
Azula shot the girl a look that showed her obvious disapproval of being overstepped. The girl looked back at her with a wink.
"How about you go on ahead of us. Azula and I can entertain ourselves until you guys return to airship".
Azula's eyes widened at the scheme.
"Well, we could try this little "love" thing. I need Zuko back in the Fire Nation. There is no way I will let my family's name be marred by him being a traitor". She added.

The handcuffs seemed to burn her skin as she attempted to grab the beautiful acrobat atop of her. She ignored the soreness of her mouth as the contortionist shook in the pleasure that she was giving her. Ty Lee attempted to stifle the screams within the breakroom, but high pitched yelp found its way out, making the princess groan in the pleasure of overpowering her even in this submissive position. Even the bondage could not stop the girl's ability to control the acrobat. After countless times of pleasure, Ty Lee slumped over, gripping the princess's hair stop her.
"I-I can't take anymore," she managed to groan.
Before Azula could respond, the sound of an explosion interrupted her thoughts
"Oh no! We have to find Mai. I hope she's ok," grumbled Ty Lee as she uncuffed the princess sluggishly.
Azula could care less about the knife wielder. She could take care of herself. Once freed, she and the acrobat quickly ran towards the warden's interrogation room.
"There are prisoners escaping, Princess. They have the warden!" Exclaimed one of the guards when the girls arrived.
"And Mai?" Asked Ty Lee.
"Come on! There's no time. She can take care of herself!" Azula had an idea that the prisoners were attempting to escape the island by way of the gondola close to her airship. Following her instincts, she and the acrobat headed for the gondola's lift point. When the girls arrived, the gondola carrying her brother and the other refugees was well into the air.
Traitor. I gave you a chance and this is how you betray. Father was right. You are weak!
The princess glanced at Ty Lee in silent acknowledgement of her plan and grabbed a set of handcuffs from a guard. The acrobat quickly sprang into action by flipping onto the pavilion and ascending the tightrope. Azula propelled herself and locked the cuffs onto the rope below her partner. As they neared, Zuko, the watertribe boy named Sokka and his lover quickly ascended atop the gondola ready for battle. Upon landing perfectly, the girls stood on opposite ends of the gondola, facing their opponents.
Need a little help, ZuZu. Thought the princess as she prepared herself to battle her brother and Sokka. Ty Lee was evenly matched with Sokka's lover and Azula carefully planned her attacks, trusting her partner would avoid the flames. Before the spar could end, however, the gondola began to shake violently. Sensing the problem, Azula watched the acrobat carefully ascend to the top of the gondola.
"They're about to cut the line!" She yelled.
Foolishness! Thought the princess She had to get herself and Ty Lee to safety, but how? Suddenly another gondola appeared within range and Azula had her opportunity.
Well, Zuko looks like you've decided your fate.
"Then it's time to leave.
The girls quickly catapulted to safety as her brother and his friends scrambled for help.
Hmph! Traitor. You forced my hand.
As their gondola descended, the princess heard the sound of battle behind them, turning to expect the avatar and his posse, Azula was shocked to see Mai betraying her countrymen.
"What is she doing?" She asked rhetorically.
"Mm-hmm," was the acrobat's reply.
Mai was helping Zuko?
"I guess I should have expected this," she grunted, suddenly feeling a tug on her hand. She looked in the direction of the acrobat.
"Please, Azula, you can't hurt her. She's doing this out of love," Ty Lee pleaded.
"Love?" The princess grumbled. "Foolishness is more like it".
"Promise me you will just talk to her".
"Ty Lee, do you understand how this makes me look? I'll have to answer to Father for this".
"But I thought things had changed. What about earlier?"
Azula was furious. Was the acrobat serious? Their agreement was strictly for their private moments. Did she really expect her to just let Mai get away with treason?
"Fine. We'll talk, but don't you say a word. Mai knows the consequences of her actions".
"Thank you, Princess. I love you".
The words softened her heart. No one had told her that they loved her maybe this little relationship wasn't as bad as her father had suggested. When they landed, the princess calmly approached the captured traitor. Lucky for her, Ty Lee had calmed her down enough to keep from striking her instantly.
"You know the consequences".
"I guess you don't know people as well as you think you do," the knife wielder stated bluntly.
What the fuck? Thought the Princess, feeling Ty Lee's pleas for mercy subsiding as the girl continued.
"You miscalculated. I love Zuko, more than I fear you".
Azula felt her blood boil in rage. Dismissing all thoughts of peace from her mind, Azula allowed her anger to get the better of her.
You bitch! I bet my bolt won't miscalculate.
As she felt the lightening surge through her body, she prepared to unleash Agni's hell on her former friend. When suddenly her body jerked painfully.
Huh?
Her footing was off, as she attempted to regain balance there was another punch to her other side.
The avatar?
She thought as she fell face first onto the stone platform. Helplessly, she watched as the guards surrounded Mai and—and Ty Lee!
Ty Lee? No, this can't be right!
As she was pulled upright by two guards, she stared at the girls with the intensity of a thousand suns, yet she was powerless. The acrobat had blocked her chi. The sting of betrayal filled the princess's stomach. As she stared at the acrobat's eyes, her heart ached as though her next breath would be her last. Ty Lee. Her father had been right all along and she hated herself for thinking otherwise.
Zuko. You betrayed me for Zuko?
"What should we do with them princess?"
Azula could not think, her mind raced with thoughts of her and the acrobat together not even an hour before. The punishment for attacks against royalty was death, but the princess could not stop her chest from throbbing. Ty Lee had done this to her. This wasn't right. Mai had to have persuaded her somehow. Azula could not find it in her heart to throw the acrobat into the boiling water below.
You said you loved me.
"Take them somewhere I'll never have to see their faces again". She growled as she felt the tears build in her eyes.
I will kill Zuko for turning you against me. She felt delusional. Was this heartbreak? Was this what Mai had felt? She wanted to kill the acrobat for making her feel this way, but that was too easy. You will suffer slowly.
"And let them rot!"
As the guards took away the prisoner, Azula felt her chest give way and she collapsed. She would never recover.
