Chapter 13 - New abilities

Admiral Zhou ordered the men to start melting the wall of ice so that they can enter. A lot of his men died, but he didn't really care. After a few minutes, they breached the wall and his soldiers started invading. He went inside and opened the map that he found from the library underground the earth kingdom.

Looking at the map, he led some of his men whilst the rest distracted the water benders and water tribe warriors towards the spirit oasis. General Iroh reminded Admiral Zhou that once night falls and the moon shines, the water benders are going to have a boost in their bending, but admiral zhou just shrugged.

"Tonight, I will erase the moon and conquer the norther water tribe kingdom. I will be praised a hero by the fire nation. The Moon and Ocean spirit will pay the pride for abandoning their immortality!" Said the admiral towards the general. Iroh grew suspicious and warned the admiral. "The spirits are not to be trifled with. They are not to be handled by mere mortals like us." "You will see general." The admiral said with confidence and arrogance.

After a few hours of walking. The general and admiral with their soldiers finally arrived at the spirit oasis. Sensing people arriving, Azula finally stopped meditating and informed Zuko to be ready for combat. After general Iroh fought with the admiral, Zhou was about to kill the moon spirit when he was sent flying by a powerful gust of wind and dropping the moon spirit which was caught by Iroh and placed back to the pond.

"Do you think I'll allow you to have your way with them?" Asked azula with a smirk. Zhou frowned and commanded his men. "Kill them!" The soldiers charged but was quickly defeated by the combination of Zuko and Azula. Princess Yui, sending the distress of the moon spirit, went to the spirit oasis and witness all the event that happened.

After defeating the soldiers, azula noticed princess yui nearby so she quickly went near Zhou and killed him off. "You should all leave." She told her uncle and brother. "I want to communicate with the spirits. You too princess yui. I need this place empty of people." Yui was surprised and so were Iroh and Zuko to find out that someone was here spying on them and that she was found out. She quickly ran away to the palace to inform her father of all the events that transpired in the spirit oasis.

After being left alone, azula absorbed the corpses and went to the pond. "You both are gonna be apart of me." She smirked and transformed into Raava form and grabbed both the spirits. Sensing danger from azula, they tried to attack but was powerless. Azula stabbed them and for a split second, the moon disappeared then appeared again. The water benders were greatly weakened for about 10 seconds before they felt their bending growing stronger again. The firebenders felt their bending improve greatly and then returned to normal. Princess received a great mental backlash and fainted in the palace while coughing up blood. Seeing his daughter fainted, Arnook panicked and decided to visit the spirit oasis.

The chieftain arrived and went in the oasis while carrying his daughter. He saw the tui and la swimming in the pond and asked for their help not knowing the the spirits he's seeing are no longer the same spirits. He didn't know what to do so he just let the body of his daughter float on the water like what him and his wife did when yui was still a baby. To his surprised which turned to anger, he saw the hair of his daughter turning back to black and her body slowly withering. He cried and angry at the spirits thinking that they killed her and was ready to attack them when his body suddenly won't move.

"Why? Why did you kill my daughter? What did we ever do to deserve this?" He asked the spirits. Azula hearing these questions decided to transform herself into Raava and answered Arnook. "If it weren't for the moon spirit, she would've died a baby. We took back the life force we gave her since it would've been the moon spirit who died and that outcome is not what the world will want to experience." If the moon dies, the world will not function properly and soon all life will perish." She answered Arnook. Even though she doesn't really know what'll happen if the moon dies other than water benders losing their bending and fire bending increasing.

"But why give her life then take it away again?" Arnook knelt one the floor and asked the spirit in grief. "Because we foresaw this future. We were hoping it will never come, however since we can't tell which future will happen, tui decided to put half of her life force to yui. In that way, we can save her if ever this future arrives. Sadly it did happen." Azula said while still in Raava's form.

Arnook didn't speak anymore. He left the oasis in grief thinking that he can't change what happened and he can't do anything about the spirits since he knows the consequences of messing with them. He felt it. Even though he's not a bender himself, he felt his connection the the ocean and moon disappear only to com back after a few seconds. He saw how the moon spirit wasn't swimming as much. So he knew after Raava explained to him that sooner the moon spirit will die. But he couldn't help but feel anger. So he directed his anger towards the fire nation soldier he met on his way.

Katara and sokka were near the breached walls. Enemy soldiers and beast were still coming in and they gathered a few water benders to help with resealing the walls. Water benders started freezing the wall one by one but it was futile since new once keep appearing. Soon Katara grew tired and fainted due to lost of stamina and sokka decided to flee while carrying his sister towards the palace.

Master Pakku was also helping with protecting the benders resealing the breached walls but he can feel his stamina depleting. He tried to hold on and just when he's about to fall, he saw azula going up the wall and stood there. He didn't know what she's doing but he hoped that azula can stop this once and for all. Soon he saw azula make a stance and performed the Tai Chi Chuan martial arts. He was mesmerized by the fluidity of her movement and how connected they were. He has never seen anybody performed it as beautiful as she did. Other soldiers fighting saw it and stopped too. Soon they felt an immense energy being released by the avatar and the was scared shi*less of what they saw.
