Best Friends Forever?[SPORATIC UPDATES]

6: Fans Against Fire

When I teamed up with Princess Azula, I expected a LOT more... fun. And well victory. It's no wonder she looks so serious all the time.

After the big, disgusting defeat we faced with the drill, we had to retreat and regroup. Which was not an easy trek when one is covered in a mixture of dirt and water. I heard mud was good for the skin. I have to disagree.

I feel refreshed as we ride through the trees once again on green... lizard... things. No longer covered in slurry.

Azula spots a discarded patch of white fur near a disturbed area of the forrest.

"Looks like someone got into a brawl.", I say with a smile. Ty giggles lightly into her palm. Mai looks unimpressed as always and Azula ignores me as she points up a hill in the direction of the fur trail. The Avatar really isn't as bright as I expected.

I hear people talking and can see the head of the white beast. I grin as I anticipate the entertainment that is about to come.

Azula shoots a stream of her blue fire. Is she always a shoot first ask questions latter type? My smile fades as we make it over the hill. They're not the Avatar. There are several woman dressed in green with faces covered in red and white make up.

"Who are you? The Avatars fan girls?", Azula asks when they make a defensive formation. Having hand fans at the ready. I laugh.

"Oh I get it. Good one Azula.", Ty praises. I nod. Wait a moment. Did Princess Azula just make a joke?!

The warrior in front, who I assume to be the leader, let us know that the avatar isn't here. I frown. What a waste.

"No Avatar huh? Well that's ok. Any friend of the Avatar," Azula flips over the head of her steed, "is an enemy of mine." She punctuated her statement with another blast of fire.

And the fighting commences.

I kick off my saddle and round house a green clad mystery girl. Swords or not, this will be fun. I dodge a few swipes she takes and quickly pound a couple choice spots before she falls.

"You are not prettier than we are." I here Ty Lee state. I roll my eyes. Ty and appearance.

Azula faces the leader on her own. I make a face as I realize this. She gets all the good battles. I don't get much time to think on it when a throwing star comes soaring in my direction. Eyes wide momentarily, I tuck and roll out if the way. Popping back up, I notice a warrior pinned to a tree behind where I just stood. My eyes follow the angle of trajectory to a very bored looking Mai. I raise an eyebrow as if to ask her if that was really necessary. She just shrugs.

I turn around to see fire lighting a fallen tree. I am amazed as Azula flings the her opponents weapon into a tree at a 90 degree angle. She really is talanted. Seeing as how all the spares are down, or attached to trees, I decide to sit back and watch the show. Azula is so precise in her movements. Strong.

I make another face when someone interrupts the battle. Guess we missed one.

Azula takes care of her quickly, however, the leader received time to recover and shoo away the Avatar's pet.

I notice the bison as it flies away. Poor creature. I completely forgot about it.

The last warrior now blocks Azula's attack with a shield and whips out...a fan. A. FAN. Against FIRE!. I shake my head. My black hair slapping lightly at my face. Is anyone outside the Fire Nation educated?
