Dealing with the surprise of seeing his younger brother just moments ago was enough for Iroh, but fighting also on an Agni Kai was even more stressful, to add even more, he had to take care of the buildings in order to not start a fire, something that Ozai didn't care at all, launching fire even when Iroh was on his shop direction
"Hey!" but Zuko was there to deal with the fire, manipulating it and launching it to the sky
"Jo jo, if uncle Iroh doesn't concentrate, my father will destroy him easily"
"Uncle is just restricting himself!" Zuko said
On the battle, Ozai jumped in order to stomp his older brother with fire, but Iroh was smart enough not only to avoid it, but to punch his brother on the guts, finally having a good angle to launch some fire, the younger one avoided the attack and launched a barrage of his own, nearly landing on the shop again
Looking to all of this from the backyard, Jong gave a pretty loud roar, something that both Azula and Ozai noticed but barely
"What was that?" the otrora phoenix king asked
But as an answer he received a kick on his stomach and a barrage of fire, something that Ozai barely protected himself using his own
"Concentrate or that will mean your doom, brother."
"Concentrate... ja" and launched a lightning pretty fast, but Iroh invented the way in which those attacks were useless, redirecting the attack to the sky, made Ozai feel really pissed "So, Zuko learned that technique from you, right?"
"You guessed it, little brother."
And the younger one gave a smirk, covering his hand on fire, Iroh evaded the attack while Ozai insisted, the older ducked another barrage but the fire went directly to the windows on the tea shop
"Father just don't care about destroying the whole place!" as Azula was laughing, Zuko manipulated the fire out of the building "Come on Uncle, you can do it!"
As that, Ozai tried once more to burn his brother's face, but the old one evaded it, and using one hand sent the younger to the floor, on that position Ozai made a spinning flame kick at ground level, doing a twirl the attack was evaded, giving Iroh some distance against his brother, who launched another flaming attack, one that was dispelled by Iroh with just mere manipulation, not shooting at all
On the distance, and paying attention to all of this, Jin was astonished from the entire spectacle that was the Agni Kai
"Whoa, I cannot believe how powerful Iroh really is..."
While on the battle, Ozai was starting to get frustrated "For real, are you that scared of my power that the only thing that you can do is to evade?"
"Oh, you don't even know what is coming next, little brother" and the battle continued
But on the earth palace, the battle between the guards and the Dai Li against the Blue Fire Raiders continued, as the defenders were increasing on number, Shaina had to use more of her abilities with the thunder and fire to contain them, the Dai Li were especially difficult to deal with on big numbers
Once Kuei, the Earth king went outside, he identified the most noticeable of the invaders, the one on the black armor
"Here he is!"
"Who?" said one of the guards
"The evil avatar, guards, no mercy on him."
Once Shaina heard that, she said to the king "Two things, first, I'm a woman, second, you saying that was the biggest mistake you could have ever said, now I have no restrictions to go all out."
