The Fall of Ozai (Zuko x Reader)

The Boiling Rock P. 1

When you returned from the Sun Warrior's temple everyone was on edge.

"Well?" Toph asked. You looked to Zuko with a smile.

"We should start training right away Aang." He smiled. Everyone began to cheer for Zuko and Aang.

"Well, we have to do something first." Sokka trailed off. You snapped your gaze to him. "We need to free the prisoners that were taken during the invasion."

"Like your Dad and Suki?" Toph asked choking on Suki's name. You felt a pang of guilt for Toph who must be feeling pretty betrayed. You walked away from Zuko and sat on the step next to her I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and she leaned into my hug.

"Yeah Toph. But the thing is we don't know what fire nation prison they could have been taken too." We all looked at Zuko who looked like he was thinking.

"They are most likely at the boiling rock. It's a very advanced prison and there is an almost zero percent chance of us being able to break them out. " Zuko almost sounded apologetic.

"Then we will just have to take that chance." Toph said suddenly. I smiled at her.

"It will take a foo proof plan." Zuko said still thinking. Sokka looked like he had the best idea.

"Okay then what if we-" Sokka started only for Toph to laugh. "What?"

"No we will not dress up as clouds and jump of off Appa to make a grand entrance." Toph laughed. Sokka pouted.

"How did you know I was going to say that?" He asked her raising an eyebrow.

"I could see forming the plan." She said sarcastically we all laughed.

"Okay we can't take everyone. So Aang, Katara, Toph, and (YN) will stay here and in three days they will come and pick us up. Sokka and I will take the plan from there." Zuko planned. You snapped your gaze over to your boyfriend.

"No. I am going with you." You disagreed.

"I can't have you getting hurt." Zuko said worriedly.

"That's sweet and all Zuko but I need to come with you." You said raising your voice a little.

"IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A VOLCANOE, YOU ARE NOT COMING WITH!" Zuko shouted.

"FINE, BUT IF I AM NOT GOING NEITHER ARE YOU TWO!"  You shouted back. Zuko sighed.

"Fine. Everyone just get some sleep." Sokka stepped in. You flopped onto the ground and soon fell into a light sleep so when Sokka screamed in shock in the middle of the night you silently woke up.  You stepped around everyone and Momo and climbed up Appa behind Zuko who was talking with Sokka.

"Not going anywhere, huh?" You asked making Zuko jump but you covered his mouth with your hand  climbing into the saddle.

"You caught me, happy now?" Sokka suddenly snapped climbing back up Appa.

"I'm never happy." You and Zuko said at the same time.

"I have to regain my honor you two. You can't stop me! This is all my idea and all my fault." Sokka snapped you raised an eyebrow. He pulled the honor card on Zuko knowing it would work. You hopped off of Appa smiling as you followed them to Zuko's war balloon.

"Where do you think your going?" Zuko asked as you walked away.

"Well Fire Nation Prison's don't exactly have Sky Bison Day care Centers so we are taking you balloon." You shrugged. You watched them leave a note and then hopped into the air balloon. "What is our leaving excuse?" You teased.

"Meat. "Sokka said bluntly. As you flew through the sky you leaned over the basket's edge feeling the clouds run through your fingers. While you were off in your own little world Zuko and Sokka were just sitting there awkwardly so when you pulled your head back into the war balloon you wanted to jump out it was so awkward. "Pretty clouds.." Sokka trailed suddenly.

"Yeah..Fluffy." Zuko commented back. Sokka began to whistle. "What?" Zuko snapped.

"Oh, What? I said nothing it's just that a friend of mine built these war balloons." Sokka said as if it was the coolest thing ever.

"If there's one thing my Dad's good at it's war." Zuko said softly.

"It seems to run in the family..." Sokka trailed. You broke out laughing then.

"What?" They both asked.

"You two are about to break into a high security prison and are talking about balloons made for war. I somehow find that hilarious." You mused. Zuko pressed his lips into a thin line. "Zuko you've changed and your uncle has changed too. He was like a father to me too you know." You said as if reading Zuko's mind.

"It must have been hard leaving home. Iroh would be proud." Sokka said after a moment of silence.

"It wasn't hard at all. I mean the entire fire nation thinks I'm a traitor." Zuko sighed.

"You didn't leave anyone behind?" Sokka asked.

"I did have a girlfriend, Mai." Zuko sighed.

"That moody girl who sighs a lot?" Sokka asked. You laughed at this, even when Zuko nodded. "My first girl friend turned into the moon." Sokka said suddenly.

"That's rough buddy." Zuko said after a pause then it was back to the awkward silence.

It was the middle of the night when Zuko shouted that we were here. You were surprised that he hasn't brought up the fact that you weren't supposed to be here.  "As long as we are quiet we should be able to get through it without getting caught." Zuko said. We all made eye contact and nodded in silent agreement. But when the balloon started to go down we all silently panicked. When the balloon crash landed and you all flew off of the machine Zuko managed to catch you before you hit the ground. Sokka and Zuko had an argument while you snuck off inside. When you got in you let the guys in. Soon all three of you were dressed as guards. Soon you were dragged out to watch a scuffle and you flinched when the warden of this place began to fire bend at a prisoner who said he did nothing. You could only watch in horror as the prisoner defended himself and ended up being sent to whatever the cooler was. Sokka was the one who was forced to go along and help bring him in. You were in the lounge with Zuko standing there with your helmet's on looking like freaks. You stuck close to his side because he told you too. You sat down next to him as we began to chat with the guards.

"No you can't date the female guards." The lady said sarcastically making you laugh a little.

"You don't really want to." The other guy teased earning himself a smack from the chic across the table. You laughed with them to keep up your cover Zuko cracked a smile at least. When you heard people in the halls begin to panic saying the warden was here.
