"Please, Azula! I need this! Katara is kinda teacherless, and I need you to help her out! Please, Azula!" Norrak placed his hands together in a praying position, his voice filled with hope and pleasing as he closed his eyes.
"I won't train anyone, especially not her!" Azula clicked her tongue in annoyance as she sat on her throne, resting her chin on her soft palm as she ignored Norrak's plea.
"Tch! I don't want to be trained by you either... Bitch," Katara huffed in annoyance as she rolled her blue eyes, crossing her arms under her chest and making them more pronounced. The last word she uttered under her breath was just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Bitch?! I will burn your face off, you water splashing hoe!" Azula's furious voice echoed throughout the airship throne room. Her booming voice bounced off the walls as she erupted to her feet.
Flames erupted from her shoulder blades, thrusting her towards Katara, who arched her eyes as a grin made its way onto her face. A hint of successful cunning flashed in her eyes.
Boom!
Azula's reinforced fist connected with Katara's, who had a hint of sheen on her fist. Norrak, watching from the side, opened his eyes in surprise.
'Hmmm... I see, so Katara could use four different Chi natures due to her status as the Avatar. She just added a rough, and rock-like texture to her Chi, making her fist harder and stronger in the process,' Norrak analysed as his Six Eyes flashed with a gleam.
'Azula also has this, and I have it as well. But it seems like you have to be extremely powerful to do something like this, or your connection to the elements has to be extreme since birth, like Azula.' Norrak stepped forward, ready to stop the fight between the two.
Boom!
The ground under Azula and Katara cracked as intense pressure materialised around them. Surprisingly, Azula groaned as she was pushed back a few inches, her eyes widening in surprise before a grin surfaced on her face.
'Did Katara just add wind nature to her Chi? I see, so this gave her a cutting effect, and also a pressure effect, increasing the effectiveness of her rock nature,' Norrak thought as he teleported between the two, stopping Azula from escalating the fight.
"Alright, you two, you don't need to fight. Katara, Azula does not have to be the one to teach you, you could learn from the Dragons, and Azula, you should be friendlier with your future partners," Norrak said with a gentle smile, his palms on Katara and Azula's shoulders.
"Partner? She is more like a concubine~," Azula replied with a mocking curve on her lips, to which Katara rolled her eyes as she placed her hand on her mouth in a fake cough, her silver ring flashing with Norrak's name on it.
"Sorry, it seems I caught a cough." Katara's smugness reached its peak as she took Norrak's hand and then placed a kiss on his own ring, flashing with her name written on it.
Azula clicked her tongue in annoyance as the silver ring flashed before her eyes. She shot an annoyed glare towards the clueless Norrak. This confused him as to why Azula became angry with him.
"Tch! Norrak, our wedding is awaiting us. Let this hussie learn from the Dragons quickly, so we can be back in the Fire Nation, and finally have our wedding," Azula ordered with a cold tone, her blue eyes flashing as she turned to Norrak.
"Fine, Katara, go and start learning. Two days of doing nothing but resting and eating are enough. On the other hand, Azula. You should train as well, see if you can improve your strength," Norrak patted them both as he talked, and Azual rolled her eyes as she turned and sat back down on her throne.
'This girl is quite strong... She managed to push me back... Granted, I wasn't using my Flame armour to boost my physical strength,' Azula narrowed her eyes as she watched Katara walk out of the airship, making her way to the Dragons.
[Flame Armour: Azula uses life energy to excite her body, boosting its functions without harming herself.]
As the calm returned, Mai, Toph and Ty Lee watched with blinking eyes from the side. The fierce competition between Katara and Azulka made them stay out of it.
"These two sure are fighting hard to be in second place~," Ty Lee muttered with an amused grin on her face. She wanted the fighting between the girls to keep going. So she had time to make Norrak hers.
"Ty Lee, it seems you plan to take Norrak with you while those two are training and don't have time... But you are in my way," Mai spoke up from behind Ty Lee. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the glint in Ty Lee's eyes.
"What? No way, it's just your imagination, Mai. I would never plan something like this~," Ty Lee turned around with a soft smile on her face, her hands behind her back as she shook her head in rejection at Mai's words.
"Ty Lee, I grew up with you, I know you like the back of my hand. You can fool anyone else, but you can't fool me," Mai replied, not believing a hit for Ty Lee's words as she narrowed her eyes.
Ty Lee grinned in response, winking at Mai as she stuck her tongue out playfully. Mai sighed at her antics before she stopped speaking to Ty Lee.
She didn't care about Ty Lee's plan to have the others fight while she took Norrak for herself. Mai knew that Ty Lee's plan was not going to work, even an inch.
Norrak will not let that happen, and judging from the times she knew him. Norrak could sense everything happening around him. So Ty Lee's plan of making the girls fight while she takes Norrak for herself will not work.
Toph, watching Katara and Azula, narrowed her eyes as she clenched her fists in dissatisfaction. These two improved rapidly, their strength surpassing hers.
While she remained at the same level of power as before she joined the gang. The only difference from her previous self was in leanring to control sand and create sand from the hard ground.
Crack~
Toph's joints cracked, releasing the force in her knuckles as she walked towards Norrak, who turned to Toph with raised eyebrows. Toph looked up at his face and spoke in a firm tone.
"You said you would make me the most powerful Earthbender in history... It's time to fulfil that promise, don't you think?" Toph asked Norrak, who grinned as he nodded.
"Toph, by the end of this month, our long training journey will be over. I promise that you will be a different person~," Norrak said as he raised a palm to Toph's head, rubbing her hair.
[Meanwhile...]
Zuko jumped down from the ship, a bag slung over his shoulder, containing money and food that he "Borrowed" from the craft. The soldiers watched him leave with hope.
"Do you really think he will be able to gather the force needed to overthrow the Fire Lord's and his corrupt officials and Generals' rule?" A soldier spoke up with doubt.
"Yes, he will definitely do it," Spoke another soldier in defence of Zuko, his voice tinged with confidence. In the past two days, Zuko explained his plan to overthrow the Fire Lord to them, and these unwilling soldiers immediately agreed, especially when they think back to those never-ending flames...
The start of the Rebellion Force is now!

My plan for Zuko is a little different from just letting him wander around the world after Norrak and the gang take down Zuko. So he will be important as well.
Leave a power stone!
