I'm so sorry I took so long to update! I just got busy with school, I got a new boyfriend, and I completely lost my muse until I met him! Anyways, here's the first piece of the next installment!

I still don't own LoK or Anastasia!

"Who are you?" Olga demanded, glaring at the soldier. "Who do you think you are, requesting an airbender to an Agni Kai? What is that, some sort of ritual?"

"No, it is a duel between benders," Zuko said gravely. "I fought one once with my father, twice with my sister. Normally it is between two firebenders, but I think this time the rules can be bent just a bit."

"Olga, you haven't gotten your airbending," Alexei protested, and she shot him a hateful glare. "You haven't!"

"Actually, I gave it to her three and a half months ago," Korra said calmly. "She said she liked it in the Earth Kingdom, so I let her stay there. She's been practicing it there ever since."

"I accept the little duel of the Agni Kai," Olga scoffed and laughed. "You're a fool to think that a nonbender like you can best me!"

"We'll see who is the fool," the soldier scoffed before faintly muttering, "Elder sister."

"That still doesn't explain why you're challenging me!" Olga yelled out.

"Let me think, you're trying to steal someone that she's interested in because said someone is in a position of power," Iroh called out as he took his place beside Zuko. "You were the one who got her sick by pushing too much chi into her, causing her to become so ill that it nearly killed her. You were yelling insults the entire time that she was ill while you were in your ghost form because you didn't have a solid body quite yet. As for your last question – refer to my first statement. And the one you claim to be a street rat, isn't as much of a street rat as you would think."

"You-what-how?" Olga stammered turning to face him stunned.

But as she did, the soldier saw her opportunity, and had sent a ball of fire at her sister's arm. Olga screamed in pain as her arm was singed slightly from the light flames that had survived her barely-set up defenses of air.

"You brat!" Olga screamed, "How dare you attack one of the few remaining airbenders?!"

"It's a bending duel, of course she's going to attack you," Mai retorted like it was obvious.

"I'll make you pay," the soldier growled as Olga dodged another fireball.

But this time, Olga saw through one of the soldier's former fears and aimed the gusts of wind up at the chandeliers above them. The first one was sent crashing down, and the soldier performed an expert dodging roll to the side and sent another fireball at her sister. This time when the chandelier was hit, it let out a burst of lighting, lighting that was directed at the soldier because of her higher body heat.

But the soldier had learned from the best, and stuck her fingers out to take the lighting. She focused on the lighting with all of her might, channeling it first to her stomach slowly, and then she opened her eyes so that she could aim.

She saw that her family was staring in mute horror as they saw what Olga had done. Olga herself was laughing maniacally, yelling that she deserved to get electrocuted for thinking herself higher than the station she was truly at. Korra was gripping the rail tightly, with Mako's eyebrows having risen to his hairline, and Bolin's jaw dropped down as far as it would go. The airbenders were also wide-eyed in horror, but they were also shocked because they knew that this was a part of firebending.

The soldier's last look was towards the Fire Nation representatives, Katara, and Lin, who were all standing together. Katara and Lin were staring in shock, just not showing it on their faces. But the Fire Nation Royalty was staring in pride at her accomplishment, Zuko and Iroh especially.

The soldier turned her attention back to Olga, who was preparing the sharpest gust of wind that she could to create a knife of air, and the soldier pointed the lighting at her sister, willing it to go forwards. Olga screamed as the lighting hit her, convulsing with the lighting that was entering her body.

The soldier shot a fireball up at the offending chandelier and destroyed the electrical circuits in it, but not knocking it down. She looked to the Fire Nation and gave them a look of pride, as if to tell them to look at what she had done and been able to accomplish, like a child would to their parents.

Olga staggered up and screamed out at her sister, still slightly convulsing in rage and pain, but she bent a tornado around the soldier. This attack would prove to be a fatal mistake, and the soldier rocketed herself upwards with fire from her fists.

After landing cleanly on the floor behind her sister, she waited until Olga had wheeled around and tried to airbend before shooting a powerful fireball directly at the right side of her face. It was to her astonishment, and not quite guilt, that Olga dropped to the floor and screamed in pain as her wind shield failed to properly defend her and her face was burnt in a manner almost identical to Zuko's.

"I win," the soldier said coldly. "And let's hope that we never have to duel like this again."

The soldier had just turned around to return to the fire Nation reps when she felt a rush of air knock her to the floor, and then a shard of glass getting rammed deeply into her left lung from behind. She fell to the floor, blood entering her lung and her breathing stopping as a result.

"Iroh," she tried to croak out, but her every moving faculty failed her.

Who do you think the soldier is?

Review please!
