Power Struggle

They were walking through the throne room when Toph stopped.
“Wait, people are coming. It’s Azula!” She whispered.
Zuko hid by the hallway while Azula and some Dai Li agents walked into the room.
“Well, look at this. How’d you get out?” Azula asked flatly.
“I don’t think it really matters, does it?” Katara said.
Zuko took that as his cue. He walked out of the hallway, faking a yawn and rubbing his eyes. “What’s going on?” He asked.
“The Avatar and his friends escaped,” Azula informed him.
Zuko walked so he was halfway in between Azula and his comrades.
“Did they now? That could be a problem,” Zuko said.
Without warning, Zuko sent an enormous fire blast at Azula. A shocked expression appeared on her face as she deflected it with one of her own blue ones. Iroh, Sokka, Toph, and Aang took on the Dai Li agents their own styles. Katara had already had made her way to Azula and was trying to fight her. They made an even match. Zuko was working his way around numerous Dai Li agents with Firebending and Ty Lee’s pressure point lesson. Toph and Aang were using team Earthbending attacks to knock Dai Li agents unconscious. Sokka’s boomerang was working to his advantage too. Katara was faring okay against Azula, but she was running out of water. Zuko ran to her side.
“Go! She’s mine,” Zuko said.
Katara picked up what was left of her water and went to fight the Dai Li. Zuko sent more fire at Azula. They were now much closer in skill level. The siblings managed to dodge most of the other’s attacks. Zuko was trying to drive her back.
“So why’d you send her away? She seemed to be doing just fine,” Azula called tauntingly, making fun of Katara.
“She shouldn’t have to deal with you. That’s always been my job!” Zuko said angrily.
“Aw, how sweet, Zuzu has a girlfriend!”
The siblings continued to taunt each other while sending large quantities of fire in the opposite direction. The agents were falling back a little, but kept getting back up to fight, save for the ones that were disabled or knocked out. The gang was still outnumbered. Not all of Toph and Aang’s attacks were working because the Dai Li were Earthbenders, too. They defended themselves as best as they could. Katara was doing as much as she could with what little water she had. Sokka’s boomerang was still proving handy, too. Iroh was making good use of his hand to hand combat.
At the same time, Zuko and Azula sent out huge spheres of fire that collided against each other, blowing them both back. They each staggered as they stood a few moments later. The Dai Li agents were lesser now. Outside the palace, Mai and Ty Lee were making use of their skills to knock out and disable tons of agents. Azula and Zuko resumed sending blasts of fire at each other.
“What would Father think of this?” Azula asked.
“I don’t care what Father thinks!” Zuko shouted.
“What about family? I’m still your sister, whether we like it or not,” she yelled.
“You’re not my sister. This is a war, and you just happen to be a fighter on the opposite side,” Zuko retorted.
“I suppose that’s one way to think about it,” she said and stopped firing.
Zuko was just about to send another blast of fire her way when a Dai Li agent snuck up on him. He sent blasts of fire at him and tried to get rid of him. He had just struck a pressure point when he heard a familiar noise. He turned around and saw Azula making her motions for lightning. The charges began to race to her fingers.
“Well, look whose got nowhere to run,” Azula said, nodding at Katara. “Let’s see your girlfriend dodge this.”
The others were finishing off the last three Dai Li agents, and Katara had managed to knock one out herself. She stood in the middle of the throne room, everyone else battling another person. Katara turned around sharply when she heard Azula. Zuko’s face melted into shock when he saw where Azula was aiming her attack.
“Katara!” He shouted as Azula released the lightning.
Zuko ran as fast as he could toward her. In a split second he knew what to do. He made it to Katara right before she was hit. Zuko stuck out his two fingers. He felt the electricity course through his body. Zuko used his other hand to bring the lightning through his stomach and up to his other arm. But instead of releasing it, Zuko brought his other hand to his arm and redirected it back the way it came. After it left his body, he collapsed. Katara managed to catch him by the arms before he hit the ground. Before Azula had a chance to realize what was happening or actually try to stop it, the lightning hit her. Without knowing what was going to happen, she had no chance of actually trying to avoid getting struck by her own lightning. They all stood still as the lightning shocked Azula’s body, then her eyes closed and she fell limp to the ground. The last of the Dai Li had been knocked unconscious. The room was still.
