The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

The Duel of the Two Prodigies

Katsu hit the ice with a yelp when she found herself rolling further down the hillside on her ass.

Azula and Zoi stood side by side with their palms held out before their shivering faces as another chilling wind swept through the air.

Only for the two firebenders to turn to gaze over their shoulders in returning astonishment while they assessed their young friend's new power.

Elle's construct of energy crackled as she panted behind it as Naoki's gloved fist impacted from above with her shield.

As her two big sisters stood behind her in a state of shock.

The princess and her captain gazed on with a mutually fascinated look in their widened eyes.

Naoki stared down at the younger girl with ruthlessly emotionless brown eyes.

As her fist continued to push back against the construct as sparks of energy flared before her machinelike eyes.

The older girls stared at their friend in amazement.

"If you stand as my comrade then I will fight by your side. But if you are going to stand as my enemy...then stay out of my way." Naoki stated in a machinelike voice with her brown eyes staring chillingly through the sparking construct into Elle's defiant amber eyes.

"No! You get out of my way, Naoki! You are the one trying tell me what to do! I'm going back home and you can't stop me!" Elle shouted in a highly emboldened voice as sweat dripped down her forehead while she stared up into Naoki's eerie brown eyes.

The highborn women gazed on with fixated expressions in their eyes as they marveled over their young friend's growth.

As the princess found herself smiling down at the younger girl in prideful approval.

Only for her amber golden eyes start to widen a fraction in concern when she saw the construct start to waver under the girl's gloved fist.

Zoi stared on with widened golden eyes as she clutched her katana as the young warrior began to force her way through.

Mai and Ty Lee stood supportively behind Elle as they gazed on with increasingly widened eyes.

Katsu coughed up snow as she pushed herself up from the ice as she stared on with widening golden eyes.

And Elle gazed back out from behind her new weapon with her innocent eyes rapidly widening in alarm.

"Give up, Elle!" Katsu called out with a grimace forming on her features while the shield began to crack under Naoki's fist.

And not a second after that the supersoldier's fist plunged straight through the shield while Team Azula's mouths fell open in shock.

A terrifying crimson blur now dropped down above the frightened teenager through the shattered shield!

It was just unthinkable that the Component was capable of taking on even the likes of the Avatar Cycle and yet this girl was still somehow able to break through!

"I said. Get out of my way." Naoki spoke in a compassionless voice as she mercilessly slammed her fist into the smaller girl's belly.

And that was all it took for Elle's inexperienced amber eyes to enlarge in indescribable as she fell forward on the older girl's fist.

And then the handmaid's aura of energy and the glowing lines on her body abruptly dissipated just as soon as she took the savage blow to the belly.

A pained scream now echoed horrifically over the frigid arctic battlefield.
