Chapter 9
The Crown
Darkness consumes one day, only to to met with light the following. The dance is over, but a new day dawns. Who will be the ruler of Ba Sing Se?
Zuko, sporting bandages and cuts, in his Prince battle attire, along with Mai, walk out through the golden doors of the palace and enter a crowd awaiting a new ruler.
Zuko: "This is what I've been waiting for. I will finally become King."
Mai: "Zuko, relax. You're still hurt from yesterday."
Zuko: "As a Prince, my pain will not stop my success. And besides, those bandits won't be seeing my crowning, will they? The're locked inside a cell and missing something historic."
Mai: "You're starting to sound like Zhao."
Zuko: "Unlike him, my destiny it to become ruler and not a pawn."
Mai: "Let's sit down."
(As they sit down, Azula and Jet walk through the doors)
Jet: "You look amazing."
Azula: "In this war setup? I doubt it. Very little, but I still doubt it."
Jet: "Either way, I still think you look amazing. This day is perfect. No interference from my former friends, and you become the ruler."
Azula: "I've been meaning to talk to you about the last part."
Jet: "What is it?"
Azula: "I think-"
(Interrupting Azula, Ty Lee comes running in)
Ty Lee: "Azula! The messengers...They're here!"
Azula: "Jet, I-"
Ty Lee: "Here they come!"
(A messenger suiting a FireNavy uniform walks up to Azula and hands her a scroll-letter)
Azula: "Tell father ZuZu and I say hello."
(Messenger leaves)
Ty Lee: "Well, open it!"
Zuko: "Finally. Open it."
Jet: "What's wrong?"
Azula: "I've made a decision."
(Azula burns the paper, as Zuko looks on shocked)
Azula: "Who is father to decide who's best suited to rule this city, when he has no real experience with it."
Zuko: "Azula, what are you doing?"
Azula: "I have made up my mind on who should be King."
Mai: "King?"
Zuko: "Azula...."
Azula: "The most qualified person to lead this city, and guard it is..."
Zuko's thoughts: "Me, pick me!"
Azula: "Jet."
Ty Lee: "What? I thought you wanted the crown?"
Azula: "What I want has changed."
Zuko: "What? You pick someone who tried to kill us two days ago to lead control this city OVER ME?"
Azula: "You were never even an option, brother."
Jet: "Me, king? I don't know about this."
(Azula kisses Jet while Ty Lee looks on with envy)
Azula: "What about now?"
(Jet puts the crown on)
Jet: "All hail King Jet!"
(Crowd cheers)
Ty Lee: "Azula, I thought you wanted power."
Azula: "I still do..., but now I desire love. I thought you wanted what was best for me?"
Ty Lee: "I do!"
Azula: "Good then. Everyone, we'll be staying here for awhile, so get used to it."
Mai: "Yay..."
Zuko: "Wait until father hears-"
(Azula gets in Zuko's face)
Azula: "Father already knows, I'm sure. It changes nothing. You can go home if you want, but I think he doesn't like you anymore considering I told him you actually didn't kill the Avatar....I did."
Zuko: "You didn't."
Azula: "Or did I? The choice is up to you. Stay or leave."
Zuko: "....."
(Zuko grabs Mai's arm and stays)
Azula: "Good choice."
(Jet grabs Azula and they kiss)
Jet: "Sorry, but I needed one more. I am the king afterall."
Azula: "You are."
(They kiss over the roaring crowd, while Ty Lee stares with anger into Jet's eyes)
Meanwhile, miles away, at The base of The Fire Nation.....
Darkness and Fire are blaze infront of a hooded man, as he bows to he FireLord, who is covered in darkness.
Ozai: "The unthinkable has occurred......It appears that my selection of
who should be the ruler of Ba Sing Se has been overlooked. Never put your faith in children....I knew Zuko might have done something like this, but not Azula. She has deemed some boy to be the ruler. As FireLord, I disapprove of this. You have stayed captive long enough my brother. I am giving you the chance to do what you have done many years ago. Re-Capture Ba Seng Se in name of The Fie Nation, and become the ruler of Ba Seng Se. In doing so, you will probably have to go in combat with your own family...Maybe even kill them. In the name of the Fire Nation, do you accept this task?"
(The hooded man removes his hood and looks up)
Iroh: "Yes."
