Zuko's POV
Looking at the campground in front of him, his uncle was eating a bowl of rice. Some of my men standing guard. We didn't exactly enter the Elemental Union the legal way, however they didn't fire on us when we entered their maritime borders. The Navy also stopped, which is strange. Azula has never cared about boundaries before. Not sure why the trailing ships stopped as soon as we crossed the imaginary line that separates Elemental Union's waters and International water. However now she knows where to find me. Surely she wouldn't burn an entire country down to find me, but she made me a prisoner, a threat to her power over the throne, so maybe she would try to...
Azula's POV
As lightning shot through her fingertips, her teachers respond, but Azula only heard the statement of "Almost perfect, one hair out of place." That sole statement angered Azula. She pushes the loose strain of hair out of the way and yells, "Almost isn't good enough!" She repeats the steps, and fires another shot of lightning into the sky. In the background, her uncle awoke from the sound.
A few hours later
I stand, where my brother and uncle are sitting. Plans to trick them into coming home in place. "Brother, I want you home. The council is willing to forgive your crimes and give you the rightful place on the throne. There is treacherous talks going on, about a coup on the Imperial family and returning our lands to the Soviet Union. We need to reunite before we fall back into the shadows, ruled by others," I said, lying through my teeth.
My brother mutters something under his breath, looking rather shocked. If only he knew the truth. I sigh, look at him with gentle eyes, "I didn't have to come here you know, I am not a messenger. You should be happy, you'll be getting your throne back. Meet me at the docks tomorrow, and then we will set sail back to home."
A day later
I see my brother and uncle walking towards the dock. Plan is working as planned, however my uncle is smarter than i thought. You could tell he was suspicious, his stance telling me that he knows something is going on. I'll have to keep an eye on him, but I have to keep my appearance as a caring sister, so once my brother got near the ramp, I smile and say "Brother, I am glad you came! Welcome aboard, captain, set course for home." My voice never betraying my intention. My smile assuring Zuko to step on the boat. He starts to move to the ramp when the captain spoke up, "Excellent! Men take the pri-" and the look of shock of realizing his mistake. I was shocked at his betrayal, and he will be severely punished for this. I glared at him when he looked at me, and he knew then he wouldn't survive his punishment.
"You lied to me," my brother yelled at me, stomping up the ramp while his uncle started to fight the Imperial Fire Guard, pushing them off the docks and into the ocean.
"Like I haven't done that before," was all i said, hands behind my back I walk away and my two guards step in front to block Zuko's advance towards however, Zuko was able to fend them off and threw them overboard. Zuko charges at Azula with fire daggers however, Azula easily dodges every attack, not using her bending. "You know, the council blames Uncle for the weakness of our Order and considers you an embarrassment, why else would we want you home except to lock you up so you cant embarrass us anymore!"
Zuko conjures up two fire daggers again. He leaps into the air and sends a powerful fire blast at Azula using his foot. She jumps and lands safely on the deck several feet away. Zuko charges at her as she rises to her feet. After dodging several more attacks, she manages to scrape his forehead with her fingernails, leaving three scratch marks on his temple. Zuko falls back a few feet from the impact and yells as he charges at her again.
The two continue to duel, eventually making their way up a stairway that leads to the central control area of the ship. Azula manages grab hold of Zuko's arm. A few seconds pause as the two stand silently, Zuko widening his eyes in alarm. She fires a blue fire ball at him, knocking him on his feet. His vision starts to blur as he notices Azula start the motion to generate lightning, as he laid there, thinking this was his last moment, his uncle grabs her hand and directs the lightning at the cliffs and pushes Azula into the water, and Iroh and Zuko ran off, back into the Elemental Union.
"Brother, you can't hide forever and you should've known I would invade to capture you and our uncle," Azula said once she got out of the water and orders her men to start moving. A mix of Naval and Air will start the invasion, and Azula stated she wont stop until she has captured the traitors. Once they entered the Elemental Union's waters, They start to to fight against the Elemental Union's defenses, and the fleet of Airships were launched, some were able to dodge the spikes of earth from hitting the fans that kept the engine of the airships running while others fell to their doom...
