A storm brewed in his eyes like the raging sea. Aang sighed, looking at the blue-flamed demon with hatred, but also pity, as he felt sorry for the poor, unbalanced girl.

"What you're saying, is that you want me to give you back your bending and then you'll let my friends go, correct?"

A malicious smile smeared across Ozai's face, "yes, but you also have to declare that I am the ruler of all nations. I am the Phoenix King and they all are my peasants!"

Aang was disgusted at the thought, but let it float by. Slowly stepping forward, Aang said,"Alright, I'll do it."

Everyone's mouths dropped in awe.

"Excellent," Ozai muttered to himself. While a spark lit up in Azula's eyes and a smirk smeared upon her face.

All of Aang's emotions had flown away like leaves in the wind. Screams and cries were yelled in every direction but one. The one that Aang trudged in. Ozai's eyes gleamed with excitement for he was about to accomplish everything he and the two Firelords before him had ever wished for. For a brief moment it went silent, with everyone watching Aang's every move; however, that changed quickly as Zuko smashed through the ceiling with his fleet not only coming down with him but also surrounding the exits.

Aang's emotionless face turned to a smirk as everyone was overwhelmed with shock. Then Aang's sent a gust of wind to knock Azula off her balance before using waterbending to restrain her.

Ozai's eyes faded. Disbelieving what he seen before him. Standing there, he called, "Bingwen! Shun!"

The two prodigies glanced at each other then in an instant were blocking a boulder that Aang hurled at Ozai.
As Zuko's troops began to pour into the room, Toph and Sokka were able to get free. Heading straight for their main priority, before Bingwen blocked them.
Ozai knew the two were more productive when their powers were combined even though they were plenty strong on their own. Observing the stillness as the battle slowly began, he knew that he would need his key player.
The soon to be Pheonix King walked over to his distressed daughter, helping her up he said, "It's time. Get him."
Azula disappeared into the distance as the fight continued.

Aang slammed through Shun's earth attacks then sending one of his water-tentacles in a more fierce speed as he grew impatient.
A decent amount of Ozai's Warriors had been taken down. However, the same could be said of the Firenation troops.

Aang and the firenation were starting to reach victory in the battle when Azula returned with the mysterious man in blue.
