Zuko ducked as blue flashed by him, barley missing having his chest burned away. Fire Lord Azula cackled. "C'mon Princess Platypus, you've got more of us to worry about!"

As if on cue, Sokka's boomerang whipped over Azula's head.

The Fire Lord's response was to open her mouth wide and spew in his general direction. Zuko scrambled to divert it and dodge around it. Aang brought a wave of water to bear on Azula while Toph tried to trap her in a rocky prison.

"You'll all have to do better than that to defeat me." The air around them crackled as she sent blue bolt after electrifying blue bolt around the courtyard. "You'll never find her. You'll never find your precious Water Tribe peasant and that dirty thing you call offspring. None of you are worthy."

"We will succeed," Aang stated.

"No question about it," Sokka supplied.

Zuko created two blades of fire and attacked his sister. He tried to get her to hold still long enough for Toph to get a lock on her and stone her in place. Azula must have somehow noted his strategy, she made sure to keep her feet moving.

"Hold still Platy!"

More cackling and more lightning.

They were all breathing hard when they heard the trumpet several minutes later. Zuko's eyes shot to the palace, where he could see Appa shooting high into the sky and into the clouds. That was the signal; Suki had Katara and their daughter safe. Hopefully his mother as well.

"Retreat!" shouted Sokka.

"That's what you think!" proclaimed Azula.

"It's what we've planned for!" came the Water Tribe warrior's retort.

Zuko pressed against his sister. He hooked his leg around hers and pushed both of them to the ground. Her screaming filled his hears. "Now Aang, now Toph!" The Avatar pulled is water over the two Fire siblings, creating mud. The clean water separated Zuko from his sister while both Toph and Aang parted the two elements. The mud hardened and Toph forced it to thicken, trapping Azula.

Blue lightning zipped from her mouth, aiming for Zuko. Aang pulled up a wall of rock while Toph created a barrier over the Fire Lord's mouth.

"Go, go!!" Sokka commanded. The four of them raced to the shore, powered by Aang's wind and Toph's rolling boulder. They climbed into the waiting sub and took off.

"Mission accomplished."

'Don't count your turtle-duck eggs before they hatch, Sokka. I hope Katara and our daughter are safe and relatively unharmed. Mother too.'
As of now, this directly follows 2010's "Family."
