Chapter 1
Arrival and a Rebellion
Azula, along with her best friends Ty Lee and Mai ,and the addition of her older brother Zuko, are on their way to the Capital of The Earth Kingdom "Ba Sing Se". A backup squad of Fire Nation Soldiers accompany them. While traveling in their advanced Fire Nation war balloon, they begin to recollect their memories of their last visit here.
Ty Lee: "Azula, why do we have to come here again?
Azula: "Ty Lee, it's not that we have to, but that we chose to. Remember how the Earth Kingdom needs a new King?
Ty Lee: "Yeah, but what does that have to do with us?
Azula: "You know what my dream is, don't you Ty Lee?
Ty Lee: "Yeah, to become Firelord! How could I forget?"
Azula: "Oh, you wouldn't. But anyways, to become Firelord I need to make the world know my name and tremble at the sight of me...or even better, at the mere sound of my name. If I become the new Earth Kingdom ruler, don't you think that would help me towards my goal?"
Zuko: "It's not all up to you Azula. Father said he'll be sending messengers to Ba Seng Se stating who is the new ruler of The Earth Kingdom two days after we arrive. And for all he knows, I killed The Avatar. I think I am just as much in line for the crown as you are."
Mai: "Zuko, don't turn this into something personal."
Azula: "Mai, it's always personal when it comes to what little Zuzu wants."
(Ty Lee laughs)
Zuko: "Don't call me that! And don't laugh at me Ty Lee!"
Ty Lee: Sorry, Zuko, but it was funny!"
Mai: "It was funny."
(Mai laughs very awkwardly and everyone stares at her in awkward silence for a few moments.)
Zuko: "Can't these things go any faster?"
(Zuko kicks the War balloon)
Meanwhile, unknown to the Fire Nation, their easy trip into Ba Seng Se may not be so simple after all. Something, or someone, is stirring up a rebellion.
In the woods, Longshot, the current leader of The Freedom Fighters, and the remaining members, The Duke, Pipsqueak, and Smellerbee, are preparing to rid the world of The Fire Nation one last time.
Longshot: "Pipsqueak, I need you to gather more wood from the trees so I can have more arrows in my arsenal. The more we have, the longer we can fight."
Pipsqueak: "Yes sir!"
The Duke: "Can I come with him, sir?"
Longshot: "The faster we get the ammo, the faster we attack which means the faster the Fire Nation falls. Not a bad idea. Yes, you can go help Pipsqueak."
The Duke: "You give me too much credit sir!"
(The Duke gives off a small chuckle)
The Duke: "Thanks Longshot! I mean, sir!"
Longshot: "Anytime Duke."
(The Duke runs along to catch up with Pipsqueak)
Longshot: "Smellerbee, can you help me with this blasting jelly? Getting it precisely onto the arrows along with the matches sounds much easier than it actually is."
Smellerbee: "Coming sir!"
We rejoin Pipsqueak and The Duke who are in the pursuit of some wood for the making of arrows.
Pipsqueak: "It was nice of Longshot to let you come along."
The Duke: "He may be our new leader, but he's still one of us!"
Pipsqueak: "He talks alot more now."
The Duke: "Yeah, ever since....well, you know......he's been talking and giving orders non stop. It's kinda inspiring!"
Pipsqueak: "Yeah.......Hey look! Those trees look like they're going to fall down anytime now. Let's get to chopping, Duke!"
The Duke: "Gotcha, Pipsqueak! And by the way, it's The Duke!"
Back at the Freedom Fighter's camp site.....
Longshot: "Almost there...."
(The arrow breaks due to the miscalculation of the amount of blasting jelly)
Longshot: "Smellerbee!! Be more careful! We're lucky it didn't explode!"
Smellerbee: "I'm sorry....sir."
Longshot: "Please stop calling me that! My name isn't sir!"
Smellerbee: "I miss Jet!"
(A brief silence overcomes the two)
Longshot: "I'm sorry...Smellerbee. It's just that...It's so hard to battle a whole nation with just four people, but we have to. For our freedom...for Jet. You're not the only one who misses him. We all do, but do you think he would've wanted us to give up?
(Smellerbee begins to cry)
Smellerbee: "N-no....."
Longshot: "What was that, freedom fighter?
(Smellerbee wipes away her tears)
Smellerbee: "No!"
Longshot: "That's what I thought."
(They hug, while Pipsqueak and The Duke return with the wood)
The Duke: "Ew! They're hugging!"
Pipsqueak: "It's so...beautiful"
(The Duke nudges Pipsqueak with his elbow)
Pipsqueak: "Sorry..."
(Longshot and Smellerbee release their hug)
Longshot: "What are you looking at? Back to work guys!"
The Duke: "Aren't you going to kiss first?"
(Pipsqueak hits him in the back of the head with a small stick)
The Duke: "Ow!!!! Let's get back to work, Pipsqueak!"
End
