Princess Azula seeks to restore order to New Ozai with her friends, Mai and Ty Lee, by her side.
|
|
Part One starts with Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee training a group of Imperial Soldiers stationed in "New Ozai", soon after the girls' reunion.
|
Ty Lee
|
I thought Omashu was supposed to be a friendly city, but people seem really angry all the time. It's scary!
|
Azula
|
It's "New Ozai" now, remember? Don't worry. I have plans to bring these peasants under control.
|
Mai
|
[Frowning.] Really ...? In my experience people just get MORE angry if you try and...
|
Azula
|
[Angrily.] Enough! I can't have you undermining my authority in front of the recruits! [More calmly.] This sparring match should weed out the weakness in New Ozai's ranks.
|
Ty Lee
|
So, do your best, everyone!
|
|
Azula's team fights and defeats the first group of soldiers.
|
Azula
|
These guards are pathetic. Bring in the next wave.
|
Ty Lee
|
[Surprised.] Already? Couldn't we take a teensy break first?
|
Azula
|
No need. These guards are no match for us.
|
|
Azula's team defeats the second group of soldiers.
|
Ty Lee
|
I'm feeling a little woozy. I need a moment to refresh.
|
Mai
|
Go ahead. I'll join you.
|
Ty Lee
|
[To Azula, happily.] Why don't you join us? We can all relax together.
|
Azula
|
We'll have plenty of time to relax after we've brought this city's chaos under control. [Ty Lee's smile drops.]
|
|
Part Two begins in one of the city's living quarters, presumably occupied by Azula.
|
Azula
|
I'm beginning to suspect there are traitors among the city guards.
|
Mai
|
[Frowning.] Why do you think that?
|
Azula
|
I looked through the most recent report and the number of arrests is suspiciously low. These guards are neglecting their duties.
|
Ty Lee
|
[Thoughtful.] Ooh, nice detective work. So, what's your plan?
|
Azula
|
We shall perform a covert patrol ourselves to discover who the sympathizer is. [Ty Lee looks excited.]
|
|
The scene switches to show the streets of the city, patrolled by a Fire Nation soldier.
|
Guard
|
City guard, open up. Tax collection.
|
Jade
|
[Sadly.] Y-yes, Sir. I-I'm sincerely sorry, I don't have enough right now, but with more time I may― I mean, will have the owed amount.
|
Guard
|
[Crossing their arms.] This is the last time I'm giving you an extension. Understand?
|
Azula
|
[Suddenly intervening, addressing the surprised guard.] How many other times have you allowed this treachery to occur?
|
Guard
|
[Hesitantly.] Uh, well. If there's nothing to collect then―
|
Azula
|
[Furious.] Nothing to collect?! You didn't even check! Go in there, and take what is rightfully owed to New Ozai.
|
|
Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee confront the residents of Omashu and defeat the first group in a fight.
|
Civilian
|
Haven't you invaders stolen enough from us!
|
Azula
|
[Laughs.] Stolen? Hah! That explains it. You peasants just don't understand what it means to be governed! Not surprising considering your previous ruler.
|
Civilian
|
[Angrily.] King Bumi was a far better ruler than you! TYRANT!!!
|
Ty Lee
|
[Hesitantly.] Azula... I'm not sure if.... I don't feel good about....
|
Azula
|
[Furious.] I refuse to stand idly by while the rabble dishonor their Firelord's dominion!
|
|
The girls fight and defeat more residents.
|
|
Part Three begins back at the living quarters.
|
Imperial Soldier
|
Lady Azula! Our spies have reported a group of bandits organizing a coup in the market district!
|
Azula
|
[Angrily.] If these dirt farmers think they can undermine my authority, then they'll suffer for their hubris.
|
|
The next scene shows Azula arriving at the markets to address the people.
|
Azula
|
Citizens! I know you're organizing against me. Give me the names of those responsible and I'll let you off the hook... [She stops smiling and frowns in warning.] FAIL to do so, and I'm going to start burning businesses... Starting with...
|
Crowd
|
[Shouting in both anger and fear.] Dragon Dumplings! Nooooo!!!
|
Chef Lee
|
[Worriedly.] Somebody stop her before she wrecks the best dumpling restaurant in the world!
|
|
Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee, accompanied by an Imperial Firebender, fight and defeat many citizens.
|
Azula
|
[Furious.] NAMES! NOW!
|
Mai
|
[Tentatively.] I feel like there's a better way to get what we want out of these people.
|
Ty Lee
|
You catch more spiderflies with Sweet Buns than you do with Onion Banana juice.
|
Mai
|
*Sigh* I actually like that dumpling place....
|
|
Part Four starts on the city's walls, where Azula's team continues to fight the rebelling residents.
|
Azula
|
[Angrily.] I'm not joking around! Give me names or I WILL burn this place to the ground!
|
Mai
|
Azula... You're going to end up making this situation even worse... [Azula turns to look at Mai in surprise.]
|
Rebel
|
[Frowning.] Of course a Firelord's daughter only knows threats and violence to get what she wants.
|
Azula
|
There you are. Guards, seize them!
|
Rebel
|
[Angrily.] You think you can come into our town and tell us what we can and can't do? [Smiles confidently.] You didn't account for the sheer GRIT of the Earth Kingdom!
|
|
Azula's team defeats the rebels.
|
Mai
|
[Looking bored and examining her nails.] Those guys were disappointing. I doubt they were smart enough to organize this coup.
|
Azula
|
[Raises an eyebrow.] There must be someone else pulling the strings. [To an Imperial Soldier.] Take those fools back to the barracks and see if you can get anything out of them.
|
|
Part Five continues on New Ozai's walls.
|
Imperial Soldier
|
Those prisoners we took have revealed the name of their boss.
|
Azula
|
[Smiles widely.] What are you waiting for? Let's bring him in!
|
Rebel Boss
|
The harder you crack down on this city, the harder we'll fight for our freedom!
|
Ty Lee
|
[Thoughtfully.] I know he's a villain, but I kind of see his point.
|
Azula
|
Crush him!
|
Rebel Boss
|
You can't control us. You'll never control us.
|
Azula
|
Then you give me no choice, but to destroy you.
|
|
Azula's team defeats some of the rebels.
|
Rebel Boss
|
[Smiles.] You might crush me, but the spirit of the Earth Kingdom is greater than I am.
|
Azula
|
[Yelling with a wide cruel smile.] Then I will crush the ENTIRE EARTH KINGDOM if that's what it takes.
|
Mai
|
[Taken aback.] Uh. Azula... Listen to yourself.
|
|
The Fire Nationals fight and defeat the remaining rebels.
|
Rebel Boss
|
You've failed.
|
Azula
|
[Angrily.] What?!!! I've won! I've defeated you! How can you say I've failed?!!! [She seemingly loses consciousness.]
|
Ty Lee
|
[Surprised.] Woah. I think she passed out from sheer frustration.
|
Mai
|
Yep, completely imploded. Let's get her lying down somewhere safe.
|
Azula
|
[Wakes up, confused.] Ungh... What happened...?
|
Mai
|
[Smiles briefly.] The Coup has been crushed, but... There's a good chance we'll see a bigger resistance after this.
|
Azula
|
Then I will crush that, too!
|
Ty Lee
|
[Frowning in frustration.] ... Has she learned nothing? The harder she tries to control everyone, the more people resist her.
|
Mai
|
Yeah, but this is Azula we're talking about. Maybe one day she'll learn, hopefully.... [Both girls look sad.]
|
|
End of the scene.
