Chapter 26- Running From Your Ex Fiancé
"Now this is a riot!" You laughed as you and Zuko ran through the crowd, dodging and hitting anyone coming to attack you both.
"(Y/N)!" You saw your mother with the others and grabbed Zuko's hand to pull him towards them.
"Good, we're all here! Now all we need to do is grab the warden, and get to the gondolas!" Sokka pointed up at the gondolas.
"And how do we do that?" You asked him, and he paused for a moment.
"I'm not sure," He said.
"I thought you thought this through!" Zuko shouted.
"I thought you told me it's okay not to think everything through!" Sokka shouted back.
"Maybe not everything, but this is kind of important!" Zuko groaned, and you noticed someone was missing.
"Hey, uh, fellas. I think your girlfriend's taking care of it," Chit Sang said, and you all turn to see Suki charging into the crowd, where she jumped on people's heads to get onto a tower.
"My Roku..." You breathed out while blushing, where your mother motioned you to get onto the towers with the others.
Finally getting up to the top, you saw Suki holding Warden down.
"We've got the warden! Now let's get out of here!" She shouted to the group, while you all were still panting.
"That's some girl," Your mother wheezed out but the lack of air.
"Tell me about it," You and Sokka said in sync as as Chit Samh lifted the Warden up over his shoulder and you all ran towards the gondola.
"We're almost there!" Suki shouted, but then guards started to shoot fireballs at you guys.
Zuko quickly charged and Firebended them out of the way.
"Back off! We've got the warden!" You threatened, and Chit Sang turned slightly to reveal the tied up Warden. The guards slowly back off as you all started to move again
"Let's go!" Suki yelled as you glared at the guards, moving along the others. Throwing the Warden in, Zuko closed the door of the gondola and pulled a lever to make it move upward.
"Princey!" You called out, and he proceeded to kick the lever until it broke off.
Zuko then got a head start on running, and jumped towards your guys, where you quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
"What are you doing?" Sokka asked him like he was crazy, which Zuko kinda was.
"I'm making it so they can't stop us," Zuko explained as he pointed at the bottom.
"Way to think ahead," You grinned, making him shyly run his neck.
"We're on our way!" Your mother smiled, but then Hakoda looked down at the prison.
"Wait! Who's that?" He asked you, and you walked over to see who it was, and you made eye contact with hazel eyes.
Oh no.
"That, is my darling Azula and Ty Lee" You nonchalantly said, seeing the guards bow to them.
"Quick question. Is this thing fast enough to get away from my crazy, firebending ex fiancé? Also Ty Lee?" You asked while looking around.
Azula then grabbed a guard's cuffs, jumping to the cable and using her firebending to push herself forward as Ty Lee ran across the cable.
"This is a rematch I've been waiting for," Suki growled as she cracked her neck a little.
"Me too." Zuko glared.
"(Y/N), you stay here. Who knows what Azula might do to you," Sokka said as he pushed you down to sit.
"Aw, what?" You complained, but the three already jumped to get on the roof.
"Stay here honey, we can't lose you to the princess," Your mother said and placed her hands on your shoulders.
"But mom, I'm sure she is fiAAHH!!" You couldn't finish your sentence as Ty Lee almost fell of the gondola, but swung her way through the inside, but kicked you out in the process.
"(Y/N)!!" Your mother and Hakoda shouted, and you quickly took hold of the side.
"Sorry!" Ty Lee quickly said as she was scared that you fell.
"Not a way to go!" You yelped as you looked below to see the boiling water.
"Sure be happy if Water girl was here!" You pulled yourself up onto the roof.
"Are you okay?" Sokka asked you, and you nodded, but not before pushing him down to dodge a fireball.
"Hello, love," You gulped as you stood up to face Azula, a dark look in her eyes as she smiled cruelly at you.
"Hey Lala, long time no see," You quietly mumbled to her.
"It shouldn't be like that at all, love. Running away is very bad of you to do," Her hands go up into blue flames.
"Watch out!" Zuko pushed you behind him and Sokka as they continue to fight Azula, and you were holding onto the cable holder.
Suddenly, the gondola started to shake side to side rapidly, and Sokka fell on his side, starting to slide off, but Zuko caught him in time.
"You know (Y/N)," Azula started as she stared at you.
"That ring is way too pathetic for you to wear. I could've gotten you a better one than the one they gave you," She glared down at your hand.
Your eyes widen, quickly hiding your hand behind your back, like that did anything.
"Tell me (Y/N)," Azula took a step forward, slightly leaning her body to the side.
"How does it feel, huh? To be everyone's girl? To have everyone love you? To the point where only one person can truly have you?" She asked you, staring at at you with each unsteady step. With each word she said, you could see what was actually happening.
Azula is... breaking apart.
You could see it in her eyes, she wasn't like this when you were with her, so it must've happened when you ran away.
'Big mistake right there,' You thought, and quickly ducked as Azula threw a fireball at you, and she jumped over to try and grab you.
"Understand one thing love, only I could have you! And I won't let you get away again!" She shouted, but then the gondola stopped and shook even more.
"They're about to cut the line!" Ty Lee shouted, and Azula scowled, looking at you one more time, George standing up.
"You're coming with us then!" She yelled and grabbed you by the wrist, but then a fireball shot towards you guys.
"Step away from my daughter!" Your mother shouted and shot another fireball at Azula, not quickly jumped away and flew off with her bending.
"Quick, get in the gondola!" Suki shouted and you quickly hopped inside with the others.
"They're cutting the line! The gondola's about to go!" Zuko said.
"I hope this thing floats," Hakoda hoped, and you turned your head to see someone attacking the guards.
"Mai is letting go!" You said in shock, as your mother had you in her arms.
"You kids are awesome," She commented, and then the gondola then stopped at the top. Everyone got off as Chit Sang threw the Warden into the box.
"Sorry, warden. Your record is officially broken," Your mother and Hakoda grinned and high fives each other.
"Well, we made it out. Now what?" Suki asked as you all ran, but then you noticed Zuko wasn't moving.
"What are you doing Princey?" You asked him.
"My sister was on that island," He mumbled.
"Yeah, and she's probably right behind us, so let's not stop!" Sokka told him.
"What I mean is she must have come here somehow," He looked around before pointed at something below.
"There!" A air ship was perched near the water, and your eyes widen with excitement.
"That's our way out of here!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Put them somewhere I'll never have to see their faces again, and let them rot!" Azula shouted at the betrayal of Mai and Ty Lee, turning away to March off.
The guards pushed the two girls off, and Mai turned her head towards Ty Lee, nudging her.
"Hey," Ty Lee looked at the archer, sad and upset at Azula's actions.
"(Y/N) wanted to give this to you," She shifted and gave Ty Lee the ring you made for both of them.
Ty Lee looked at it, before smiling softly and put it on, cradling her hand with care.
"You could tell she made them," Mai whispered, a smile creeping on her face.
"That's why we love her..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What are you doing in this thing? What happened to the war balloon?" You shyly run your neck at Katara's questions, as you, Zuko, and Sokka walked out of the ship.
"It kind of got destroyed," Zuko shrugged.
"Sounds like a crazy fishing trip," Aang smiled as Twig run up and hopped on your shoulder.
"Did you at least get some good meat?" Toph as you guys.
"I did. The best meat of all. The meat of friendship and fatherhood," Sokka grinned dramatically.
Suki, your mother, Chit Sang, and Hakoda all walked off of the ship, with Chit Sang waving.
"I'm new. What's up, everybody?" He smiled. Katara's eyes widen as tears weld up in her eyes.
"Dad!" She said and hugged her father.
"Hi, Katara," Hakoda chuckled.
"How are you here? What is going on? Where did you go?" She asked you three.
"We kind of went to a Fire Nation prison," You coughed, and the three of the water tribe family hugged each other tightly.
Your mother hugged your from behind as Suki leaned against you, giving you a kiss on the cheek. Twig cooed and rubbed his head against your mother.
"Seriously? You guys didn't find any meat?
