"I'm ready. I'm ready to face the Fire Lord." Aang said firmly.

He blasted the doors down with airbending. They stepped inside where Azula was already speaking.

"So, you are alive after all." Azula gave him a predatory smile. "And where is the little Queen? I had hoped to play with her."

"She's probably with your brother." Katara shot back.

"Oh really?" Azula raised an eyebrow. "Zuzu has interesting taste. What a pain…"

"Where is he? Where's the Fire Lord?" Aang demanded.

"Oh? Don't you care about the little Queen?" Azula asked. "Zuzu's been ordered to assassinate her and present her body to the Northern Water Tribe. It will be a delicious surrender."

"Y-you're lying!" Sokka yelled.

"Yeah, Zuko loves her, even you know that!" Reiko cried.

"Yes well. You saw what he did in Ba Sing Se." Azula countered. "He will always bend for family and honor."

"I don't think he will." Aang said. "I think you're lying, stalling for time. WHERE. IS. THE. FIRE LORD?!"

"Stop wasting our time and give us the information." Sokka said. "You're powerless right now, so you're in no position to refuse."

Azula brushed off dust "When I left Ba Sing Se I brought home some souvenirs: Dai Li agents!"

Two Dai Li agents descended into the room. Aang sent an air swipe at them with his glider; however, the agents quickly conjured up an earth wall that blocked the attack.

Aang burst through the stone wall the agents had created and the team ran toward the Fire Nation princess. A stone column erupted from the surface, which Aang managed to dodge. Reiko bent two stone slabs sending the agents toward the two sidewalls of the room. The agents each landed on one sidewall and sent two earth pillars straight at Reiko, who conjured two earth walls to block their attacks. She proceeded to send a stream of earth at Azula, who nimbly back-flips onto the throne after being pushed back by the stream. She smirked as she landed.

Aang raced toward her, an agent following close behind. He looked up to catch sight of the agent rocketing along a wall. The agent landed before him and builds up an earth wall which Aang broke through. He sent an air blast at Azula, who managed to slip away as the blast destroyed the throne. Aang attempted the knock her down by sending an air swipe, however, Azula avoided his attack, acutely leaping and flipping between two metal beams. She landed on the ground deftly and continued running away.

The princess leapt from one metal beam to the other. Aang sent another air swipe at her only to miss her yet again. Azula slid down a stone pillar created earlier by a Dai Li agent. She flipped onto one of the stone walls Toph conjured up to protect herself before and jumped onto the other one before landing on the ground again. She began running toward a stone wall. A Dai Li agent slid down a stone column to the floor where he launched Azula into the air by bending an earth pillar below her feet. Sokka climbe his way through the hole in the stone wall. Azula leapt through the wall, hovering mere inches over Sokka's face, smiling evilly at him as she passed. She landed onto the ground and began running again.

Sokka dodged again to avoid a Dai Li agent, Aang and Toph who each leap through the hole, one after the other. Sokka landed to the ground and followed the group. Aang and Reiko ran side by side.

"I can't pin her down! She's too quick!" Aang cried.

Azula raced through a door, entering a tunnel. A Dai Li agent followed close behind, earthbending a stone wall to block the entranceway. He proceeded to run after the princess. Aang bursted the wall and chased them. The Dai Li agent was suddenly pushed over by a stone column that jutted out from the side of tunnel's wall. A hole appeared and Reiko emerged from it. The agent landed into a crevice of a nearby metal beam and prepared to attack Reiko only for her to destroy his rock gloves and metalbend the grooves of the beam together, trapping him. She and Aang continued chasing Azula but she escaped.

Aang fell to his knees. "No…"
