The Ultimatum

(1 week before Sozins comet).

After the fall of omashu and ba sing se the war had been turned drastically against the fire nation who now found it almost impossible to contain Shou-longs offensive.

There was talk of treason everywhere people plotting to join the Shou-long armies and the new empire that had been born.

Too make matters worse the western colonies were very close to revolting seeing Shou-longs as a viable alternative to ozai.

However, for general, Rusan and his men were concerned, the most was news of the Navy defeat. Shou-long had apparently destroyed the fire navy eastern fleet and was reported to be dangerously close to the homeland.

With this revelation measures were taken conscription, was enforced even more. The noble families had evacuation drills all in preparation for an impending attack that no one knew when was gonna happen however, the general had a suspicion.

He believed the attack would come sometime today, roughly one week before Sozins comet. So that way the odds would be in Shou-long's favor cause with no comet the fire nation would lack the fire power necessary to contend with Shou-longs naval and air superiority.

All was silent. The main fleet stood it ready to defend their homeland to the death. However, eventually, a scout came running to the general.

" enemy ships sighted an armada of what looks to be 800 ships is headed this way."

The general was horrified. He knew that a lot of those ships would be most likely ironclad cruisers and dreadnought ships capable of shredding, their coastal defenses, as well as the meager troops left to defend the city from invasion, issuing his orders, his immediately attempted to fall back and prepared to fortify their last stand against the impending attack.

(3 hours since the battle began).

The home defense fleet had been easily overrun within the first hour of combat against the massive Armada that now fired upon the fire nation coast. Fire nation soldier, scrambled desperately attempting to man a few cannons they had as well as catapult to try to repel the enemies invasion, which was landing at a rapid pace.

The force looked to be around 60,000 however, compared to the fire nations mere 21,000 it was a juggernaut, especially since their enemy possessed far better technology to wage warfare than they did, especially from a distance.

The catapults did significant damage upon Shou-long's forces since they were still trapped in their beachhead for roughly an hour, however after the ships began to turn their guns on the tower defenses Shou-long brought up their feared cannons with their increased range they began to return fire upon the fire nation.

Scrambling reinforcements to try to hold back the advance. The general job was made worse when he saw project eagle planes fly overhead, and make way for the city. He knew that Shou-long didn't bomb civilian targets, however, they were most likely after the barracks, where the meager royal guard reinforcements most likely awaited to try to defend their fire lord from this attack.

(5 days before the comet).

After two days of hard fighting Shou-long was beginning there ascent up the Volcano headed for the city. By now the fire nation, soldiers had retreated to better defensive positions, where they continue to harass the oncoming Shou-long army.

(2 days before the comet).

When Tanya entered the battle things changed yet again in their favor, despite the fire nations counter attack, Tanya began to use her bending skills to even the odds. She began to create sinkholes that destroyed tundra tanks, her red flames fired in stark contrast to the orange flames bent by the average soldier, she summoned water torrent that knocked dozens of soldiers clean off their feet, who were easy pickings for Shou-long special forces who had orders from their king to take prisoners.

The side of the fire nation Palace raise the morale of the entire army.

"Come my soldiers it is time that we finished this long drawn out war. The Lords day of judgment has finally come, and we will free this world from his tyranny." Tanya called to her men rallying them to charge into the city and make way for the palace.

(At the palace).

Ozai sat upon his throne, contemplating what had gone wrong. He had believed that the fire nation possess the greatest power and all the land, and therefore they deserved to rule the world.

However ever since they began fighting against Shou-long everything had gone terribly for them. Battle after battle was lost army after army, captured, or deserted hundreds of ships sunk.

It now seemed the war was now hopeless. The enemy was on his doorstep, and his armies were surrendering almost without a fight in the western colonies. However, he refused to surrender. He would fight until his last breath, no matter how many men fired upon him.

Eventually, he heard the distinct sound of gunshots being fired and the pounding of boots headed for his throne room.

Eventually, Tanya and over 20 of her soldiers stormed into the palace throne room and looked him dead in the eye.

"Fire lord Ozai for crimes against humanity. You are under arrest, and you will face trial for your many crimes, and the tyranny you forced upon this world, you and your ancestors."

However Ozai smiled.

" very well you want me to surrender then let's finish this you and me, princess and Agni Kai for the throne you win I will surrender unconditionally as well as my entire kingdom and Empire will be yours to command. However, if I win, you will surrender and submit to me you and your family and Kingdom."

Growling Tanya responded. " I accept your terms fire lord, the dual shall take place in two days."

An: the final duel approaches for the fate of the war.

Quote: often times the belief that we are better than others clouds are judgment and turns us into people we never wanted to become friends are more important than wealth or power. Peace is greater than war.
