I betrayed her… This thought rang though Tatsuya’s head again and again. I betrayed her, and I don’t deserve to live. He let out a violent curl of flames and the water bender’s attack dissolved away. I betrayed her, there’s no more reason for me to live. A boulder came soaring through the air, and the Captain ducked rolling out of its path. I betrayed her... So why do I cling to this worthless existence?! Another stone ripped through the air toward him, and was shattered apart by a violent burst of explosive flames.

The crowd cheered as he fell to his knees. They wanted to see fire fall, they wanted to see him beaten, to see him bloody. They wanted to see him Dead.

Tatsuya struggled to catch his breath, and closed his eyes. I betrayed her…

“Tatsuya I want you to stay here and watch for our signal. I don’t know what it’ll be yet but I’m sure you’ll know it when you see it. And when you do I want you to send every hawk you can get your hands on to every major general and admiral in the eastern half of the world. You’re to use my seal do you understand?”

“Of course princess.” It was naught but a fortnight ago that they had encountered the Kyoshi Warriors. It had been the first trace of the Avatar they’d found since their little run in aboard the drill. They’d tracked him to the Si Wong Desert before letting the trail go cold. The princess had been skeptical about entering a vast expansive and uncharted area after the whole swamp incident. Particularly since Fire Bending would be practically useless within a waterless desert.

And then when Azula had heard of the renewed assault on Ba Sing Sei she had known it was just what was needed to lure the Avatar out again. After all, should Ba Sing Sei fall, the war would be virtually won. And it was the Avatar’s duty to keep the Fire Nation from winning the war.

They had lost the track of him since the drill, but with the princess was clever, and she knew that as the Kyoshi Warriors could get closer to the Avatar than they would ever let any Fire Nation assault. Vibrant red armor and massive coal clouds aside, the Avatar knew who they were, if only by reputation, and that would prevent any chance of getting close enough to capture the boy god.

But if the Warriors were to be believed, and Azula was fairly confident that they could, she had been very… persuasive, than the Avatar was without his bison, and they were to deliver it to him in Ba Sing Sei.

Now the city itself posed a bit of a problem. No Fire Bender had set foot within its walls since her uncle had first cracked them some years ago. But without that cursed flying bison, the Avatar would have no choice but to stand and fight. Demi-god or no, Azula was fairly certain she could take the monk in a fair fight, and if not there was the little fact that she seldom fought fair.

“Ooh this is going to be so much fun.” Ty Lee wriggled in excitement as she delicately painted Mai’s face in the same manner that all Kyoshi Warriors did.

“Sneaking into the most heavily guarded city in the Earth King, wherein if our identities are discovered we will be imprisoned, likely tortured, and executed, is fun to you?” Mai felt she needed to dampen the gymnast’s spirits a little.

“Well when you put it like that…” However impossible that may have been.

Azula rolled her eyes at her friends, and turned back to the Captain. “I apologize for having to leave you behind Tatsuya, but none of the Kyoshi Warriors’ uniforms are big enough for you.”

“That’s quite alright princess.” Tatsuya smirked a little. “I must confess I had mixed feelings about cross-dressing anyway, essential to the mission or otherwise.” He laughed a little, earning him a light smile form the princess, before he coughed into a fist and bowed to her. “I will do all that I can to support you from outside the city princess, I promise.” He rose and smiled. “And please if there’s any sign of trouble or discovery send a hawk as soon as you can. I’m certain your father would commit all his forces to cracking the walls of Ba Sing Sei once again to ensure your safety princess.”

Azula played with a lock of her hair absentmindedly as the captain spoke. “You clearly don’t know my father.” She smirked a little. “But your concern is dually noted Captain.” She glanced back to ensure that her friends were otherwise engaged before continuing. “And I promise you that I’ll be fine.” She smiled softly at him for half a second before turning on her heels. “It’ll take more than the walls of Ba Sing Sei to keep the Avatar from us.” She said with a smirk strolling over to her friends.

“That’s right!” Ty Lee added in enthusiastically, jumping a little and waving her makeup brush around a bit.

“Woo hoo. Team spirit and face paint.” Mai was a little less energetic, settling for twirling a finger about as she sat in the belly of the train.

It had been a noteworthy battle, but ultimately their leader was felled by the combination of the three talented Fire Nation girls. And the arrival of Tatsuya in a large metallic Fire Nation assault vehicle hadn’t hurt either. The Kyoshi Warriors had ultimately surrendered once it became apparent they had lost.

Afterwards there had been a rather colorful exchange of words, and a more that awkward moment when Azula ordered the Captain to procure a trio of uniforms from the prisoners. The choice of having Tatsuya be the one to take their uniforms from them had partly been because the princess enjoyed tormenting people, even Tatsu, but also because she didn’t want the Warriors thinking they cared about little things like their privacy.

It was an interesting trip back to the nearest Fire Nation camp.

But for now they were on their way to Full Moon Bay, another tidbit of information ‘acquired’ from the Kyoshi Warriors. Of course they couldn’t siege the ferry port, from what they’d heard it was half underground and well defended with Earth Benders. Seizing it would do little good to get them past the walls anyway. But of course, the Kyoshi Warriors had a standing seat aboard the ferries, a little gift for their time playing guard.

The train rumbled to a halt, they were still a ways from the bay, but best not to let even a rumor of their presence out if they wanted to sneak in under the guise of the Kyoshi Warriors.

“Alright Captain you know the plan.” Azula turned to Tatsuya her arms crossed behind her back as she stood ready and armored in the Kyoshi Warrior uniform. The irony that they were pursuing the Avatar disguised as warriors named for the Avatar did not escape her. “We’ll be gone for several days. You are to wait here for word until further notice. You are not to leave here until you receive word is that clear?”

He smiled back at her bowing. “Of course princess, I shall remain here until your word arrives.”

“We’ll miss you Tatsu!” Ty lee ran over and cave the captain a big hug, trying not to muss her new makeup as she did so.

“Yeah. It’s been fun.” Mai even got in on the goodbyes. “I have to admit I’ve kind of gotten used to your cooking.” She smirked a little, though she stopped as soon as Ty Lee noticed.

The Captain smiled at the two girls. “Well upon your return I shall be sure to prepare a victory feast to celebrate.”

“Yes well, enough sappy goodbyes. Mai, Ty Lee.” Azula glanced to each of the girls and strode right through her friends and out of the train. Mai and Ty Lee followed her.

“Bye Tatsu!” Ty Lee waved back. “See you after we capture the Avatar!” She blew the Captain a kiss, and he blushed a little as he waved back.

Azula’s brow twitched just a little. “Come on Ty Lee, the ferry’s waiting…” The princess started off into the cliffs that surrounded the hidden bay, leaving the Captain behind with the train.

Mai sighed a little as she followed. “Ya know when you came to me and told me you wanted my help tracking down and catching the Avatar you failed to mention that it would involve dressing like a clown and trudging though wilderness Azula.”

“Awh come on Mai, try and look on the fun side of things for once, how often do you get a chance to ride a ferry?!” Ty Lee didn’t seem to quite grasp the greater implications of where exactly it was that said ferry was going to be taking the three Fire Nation nobles.

“A boat on water… This is me being thrilled.” Mai sarcasm however was working perfectly fine as she twirled a finger in mock excitement. Ty Lee pouted at the disguised Goth girl.

The first week they were gone there was plenty for Tatsuya to do. The Train needed hiding, camouflage nets to be thrown over it, leaves to be gathered, camp to be made. The interior did need cleaning as well, but one can only clean up after a trio of Mongoose Dragons so many times before you grew sick of it.

The girls weren’t having much better luck.

“No passports, no tickets!” A particularly crabby lady yelled as she stamped a refusal stamp.

Ty Lee flinched a little each time the stamp came thundering down. Azula was not amused. “Well certainly you can make an exception for…”

“No passports, no tickets. No Exceptions!’ Again the angry round woman’s stamp came down as she interrupted the princess. “Next!’

“Hang on just a second!” Azula’s very short patience was being tried very quickly. If she wasn’t in disguise she would’ve already thrown some fire in this horrible woman’s direction.”We’re the Kyoshi Warrior! We’ve been protecting this port for nearly a month now. And we need to get into Ba Sing Sei to reunite with our friends!”

The very irritating woman leaned over her desk a little. “No passports, no…”

“Say that one more time…” It was Azula’s turn to interrupt. “And I promise you, it won’t be pleasant.” She glared her patented glare up into the eyes of this horrible woman.

“W-well… I suppose you girls could earn yourself tickets…” She sat back behind the large stone podium that was the source of her powers. “Three days. Work here three more days and you’ll each get tickets on the next ferry to Ba Sing Sei, that’s a day for each of you.”

Azula smirked a little, few people could withstand her patented glare, and even fewer could survive doing so. The princess folded her hands in front of her, and bowed. “Thank you. The Kyoshi Warriors promise to do our best to keep this port safe from the Fire Nation.” She had no idea how much she sounded like the actually Kyoshi Warriors at that moment.

“Yeah sure whatever, just change out of those ridiculous outfits. What do you think this is?! Some kind of costume party?!”

The second week they were gone the Captain still found things to busy himself. There were holes in the Train’s camouflage, there was hunting to do to stock up on supplies, mostly meats to feed the Mongoose Dragons. Midweek some refugees stumbled onto his camp, luckily he had taken to not wearing full armor, and they never noticed he was Fire Nation even after he pointed them in the direction of the ferry port.

The Princess’s team were doing a might better by then.

“Mmh, smell that ocean air.” Ty Lee took a deep breath leaning out over the edge of the ferry.

“It’s not ocean. It’s a bay. I doubt it’s even salt water.” Mai was just leaned against a wall, working very hard at looking unpleasant. Of course it wasn’t hard wearing the ferry port guard’s uniform, whoever decided swamp yellow was an authoritative color…

“Hey do you think we’ll see the Serpent of Serpent’s Pass?!” Ty Lee was really just enjoying this whole thing far too much. Although considering Mai and Azula weren’t enjoying it practically at all it pretty much balanced out.

“You’d better hope not.” The three girls turned as some passing guard interjected into their conversation. Well what could be called a conversation anyway. “The Serpent is a massively dangerous sea creature, it’s wrecked more than a few ships in these waters.”

“Ooh…” Ty Lee was riveted.

“Sounds terrifying.” Mai not so much.

“Oh it is. But don’t you worry your pretty little heads.” The guard’s attempt to hit on the three of them was about as cleverly masked as King Bomi’s insanity. “The ferries are designed not to disturb the water, and move across the bay without the Serpent’s notice. And even if it does notice us.” He flexed a little; Ty Lee was practically hanging off him. “Then we’re more than prepared to defend ourselves.”

“And you don’t have to worry either.” Azula smirked a little dangerously. “Because we’re more than prepared to defend you too.” Even Mai got in a laugh on the guard’s expense.

By the third week alone Tatsuya was getting a little fidgety. He’d run out of things to do, and he’d had absolutely no contact with the Princess or the outside world for over a fortnight. He’d taken to practicing Fire Bending in his free time, mostly to just calm his nerves, but he always ended up thinking of some sort of event that could cause the girls to be discovered, and the wind up pacing around his camp for hours. By the end of the week he wasn’t sleeping more than a few hours at a time, always waking up to check for a hawk, before calming his nerves a little and going back to sleep, before repeating the process.

It was a better week for the Princess.

“What do you mean you can’t find the Avatar?!”

Though not by much.

“We are terribly sorry, but we seem to be having just a little trouble locating your friends.” Ju Dee, or at least one of her, smiled and bowed to the three ‘Kyoshi Warriors.’ “I assure you we are trying out very hardest, and understand the importance of your mission, but if you wouldn’t mind just leaving the search to our agents, we wouldn’t want anything to disturb the order we’ve strived so hard to obtain here in Ba Sing Sei.”

Azula was getting a headache. “He’s a bald ten year-old with a giant blue arrow tattooed on his head. That alone shouldn’t be too hard to locate, but when he’s the only Air Bender left in the entire world, and you great everyone who enters this city I find it difficult to believe you can’t find him!”

“I apologize for the inconvenience. But we are trying as hard as we can to locate your friend, and do request that you leave the search to our agents. You’re welcome to stay here in the upper ring until we reunite you with your friend the Avatar.”

Azula had never wanted to incinerate someone so much in her life. Of course some of that might’ve been repressed Fire Bending emotions; not bending for three weeks was more difficult than she had anticipated. It was almost like repressing part of who she was… Ah well it was only until they found the Avatar. Which speaking of… “Listen to me very closely you bubbling grinning machine girl. We have very important information about the location of the Avatar’s bison, and the sooner he gets it the sooner the war can end. This is of the utmost importance do you understand?” The disguised princess loomed over the Ju Dee, who just grinned back.

“There is no war within the walls of Ba Sing Sei.” She said with a painful smile.

“Leave. Now.” Azula practically slammed the door on the bubbling whatever she was. “Uhg… she’s worse than that horribly stamp lady…”

“I don’t know. The stamp lady was pretty bad.” Mai actually smirked a little.

“I wonder how she smiles so much…” Ty Lee attempted one of the Ju Dee’s smiles, but ended up rubbing her cheeks. “Ow…”

By the start of the fourth week Tatsuya was pulling his hair out, in some cases literarily. His mind was beset by all manner of images of what could be happening to his princess behind the great walls of Ba Sing Sei. Why hadn’t she contact him. She should’ve found the Avatar by now. It had almost been a month. There had to be a reason…

“What if she’d been capture? What if she’d been discovered?” He rambled to himself pacing back and forth about his camp. “No no… the capture of the Fire Lord’s daughter… heh, they would’ve announced something like that…” He calmed for a moment. “But what if they have her, and they’re not announcing it…” His mind raced. “They could be… No… She could be… No no, the Princess is strong than that…” Again he calmed. “But what if she isn’t?” Pure terror flashed across him for a moment. If the princess wasn’t as strong as she thought she was, if she’d been capture, discovered, and the Earth King wasn’t announcing it.

He tossed his head in his hands and snatched up his halberd. “That’s it. I’m going to Ba Sing Sei to find her.” He slashed the bolt to the Mongoose Dragon cage, and marched out of his camp, heading toward Full Moon Bay, wearing naught but dirt stained cloths, leaving his Fire Nation uniform behind. “To help her…”
