Chapter 74: Day of Reckoning Part 2

High Velocity

While the Eastern and Western airships are being taken care of, Azula rides on her testhan up the right side of the Northern airship. Kanna rides across the same route but is riding behind a Higoshi rider. A cannon is fired directly into a Higoshi rider, blowing him to dust. A firebender riding behind another Higoshi warrior pumps a beam of orange flames into one of the cannon's blowing it up.

Azula notices a wingman archer take aim at her from above, the princess raises her right hand and shoots a rod of lightning into the wingman. The wingman explodes in a gust of grey smoke as Azula flies toward the airship entrance. Kanna rides on another testhan behind her driver as she soars over the entrance of the air vessel. A wingman buzzes behind her and launches an explosive arrow at them. Kanna gasps and jumps off the animal onto the airship as the testhan and rider are incinerated.

Azula redirects her testhan and pops a blue brick of fire into the wingman's chest. The wingman is hit and spins down. Kanna looks ahead and notices a mace warrior and waterbender captain right in front of her. The mace warrior charges at her and Kanna swiftly kicks a dark orange beam of fire from her left leg into the man. The waterbender extends his arms and shoots a beam of freezing ice at her.

Kanna jumps over the blast and kicks both of her legs forward, launching a rod of dark orange and gold flames into the man's chest. The waterbender flies off the platform. A firebender takes aim at Kanna but Azula hops down from her testhan and extends her left hand; shooting a light blue flame into the mans' chest. A long axman charges at Azula next but Azula pulls both of her hands forward and pops a brick of blue fire into his body.

An earthbender leaps beside Kanna and hurls two bricks at her. Kanna flips right and Arret launches an arrow through the man's right ear. A marine swordsman and 31st spearman hop off their testhans to assist the team as they engage a DOJ swordsman and curved swordsman across them. As the battle breaks out Voren suddenly soars down toward Azula at 150 miles an hour. Azula turns and locks eyes with her opponent.

Kanna shouts, "Azula!" Azula raises her right hand and launches a surge of light blue lightning at the DOJ enforcer. Voren soars lower as he dodges the shot and launches a volley of metal projectiles at her. Azula leaps left to avoid getting butchered. A cultist swordsman emerges behind her but Azula rotates her body and kicks a blue flame into his abdomen. A waterbender looks to flank her but Azula rotates her body and pops a short beam of blue flames into the terrorist.

The flames explode on impact and a white cloud flows as the man flies off the airship. Azula takes a breath and Voren swiftly rams himself into Azula's back. Azula shouts, "Ugh!" Voren grabs Azula and soars past the airship.

A 31st swordsman cuts down a DOJ swordsman with an upward strike, "Kanna, get to the controls! Shut them down, that is our priority." Kanna kicks a dark orange flame into the hatch, blasting it open. Kanna hurries down to the second level. A DOJ swordsman and mace warrior are waiting for her but the 31st scout swiftly dives behind the swordsman and kicks him in his back. The swordsman flies into the mace trooper; knocking both of them out the window.

Kanna immediately gets to the controls and changes the course of the airship. Azula holds on for dear life as she glides over a hundred miles an hour with nothing but Voren keeping her from falling. Wind scapes her body and blurs her vision as she glides forward. Azula shakes herself free and pops the aging commander twice in his face.

Voren huffs then grabs a hold of Azula and swiftly swings at her with the metal claws around his left hand. Azula's eyes widen, and she allows herself to slide down to avoid the attack. The young firebending master wraps her arms around Voren's waist to avoid falling while also keeping herself from getting hit. Voren pulls his legs down and attempts to ram his metal cleats against Azula's stomach. The princess pulls her body further up and wraps her legs around Voren's while also keeping a hold of his arms to keep him from scratching her to death.
