At the royal palace, the capital city of the fire nation.
Ozai was very dissatisfied with what had happened on the green mountain.
He had ordered his generals to investigate there.
And if they were to find the dragon. They must do everything in order to capture the dragon.
Even if they had to sacrifice their life.
He thought of them as just disposable things.
'This was for the good of the nation.'
At least in his selfish opinion.
"If I have my hand on that dragon and eat it. I can become a lot stronger! I don't even need to wait for that "day" to come."
He believed that by eating the dragon would give him control over the power of the crimson fire.
He envied Arthur who could control such a fire and made an escape from the prison.
He deducted that Arthur might get the crimson fire from the dragon.
He had fought with it once after all.
And while he was immersed in his own thoughts.
Someone walked toward him and said.
"Your majesty, we have prepared everything. The troops are ready to go to the green mountain in order to capture the dragon."
It was his advisor.
He looked at Ozai with hidden intention.
Ozai would do everything if it meant that he got what he wanted. And that was something that could ruin the whole nation because of his greed.
"Send them out right away. I want to eat that dragon as soon as possible. Who knows when those traitors would start a coup."
Ozai said with a wicked smile.
Of course he knew that many generals and elite soldiers from the old generation were dissatisfied with how he did his own thing but why should he care about their insignificant opinion?
They were at least still useful to him for now but If they showed any signs of rebelling up front.
He just dealt with them and showed them who he was.
He could even kill his family for power. There was no way he would spare those who wanted to snatch what was his.
"The power, I won't share it with anyone! they are all mine!"
Ozai laughed crazily. He was really a tyrant who knew no mercy at all.
"Yes sir, I will go and tell them about your command."
The advisor left. He couldn't do anything anymore.
'Please be quick, I can't delay him any further. I don't want someone to die in vain again.'
The advisor tried his best to delay him but there was a limit he could do.
Ozai looked at the back of the advisor and smirked.
"You think I don't know what you are planning. However, I will crush every hope you all have."
Ozai conjured blue fire on his right hand and lightning on his left.
He had become a lot stronger. Even Iroh could not stand a chance against him.
He will become a dragon. A true dragon!
"Hahaha, when that time comes. I will be the sole king of this world."
…
At the barrack near the royal palace.
The generals and elite soldiers who wanted to start a coup got a call from Hanbei.
"Princess Azula along with her fiance Arthur Leywin Stark will arrive there soon. Be prepared well as they will be there with the dragon. And worry not, the dragon has been tamed."
Hearing that, they were shocked.
"T—The dragon has been tamed!"
They didn't have a grudge against it because they blamed Ozai for their comrades' death.
If Ozai didn't order them to invade its home. They wouldn't die in vain like that.
No one wanted strangers to invade their home after all.
"If the dragon really has been tamed and he could control it then. We have a greater chance of success in this coup."
All the generals and elite soldiers felt really happy when they heard the news.
This meant that the tyrant would soon be vanquished!
"I also got information about Sir Iroh. He will come to the capital city with Prince Zuko as well. What do you think?"
Everyone knew that Azual disliked or even hated Zuko. If they were to meet with one another.
They feared that Azula might try to harm Zuko.
"Don't worry about it too much. I heard that Princess Azula is head over heel with Sir Arthur. He should be able to stop her when the time comes."
They got confirmation that Azula and Arthur had become a couple. And Azula became docile when it came to him.
Arthur could become Fire Lord and the elders wouldn't protest because he could even tame Azula.
And if they were to have babies together.
The blood of the royalty would still flow in them.
If they were to know that Arthur had the blood of the dragon gods. They wouldn't think like that.
It should be the opposite instead.
"We should be ready, Even though SIr Arthur might be strong but he could not do everything himself. We must help him by evacuating people out of the city."
They believed that the fight between Arthur and Ozai might be devastating.
They should evacuate people first.
…
Arthur flew toward the capital city with Azula on the back of Sylvie.
He prohibited her from participating in the coup.
She couldn't control her power yet. He was afraid that she might accidentally burn the whole capital city by her baby dragon breath.
"You know what to do right?"
"I know Papa! I am a good girl and don't kill people without thinking."
"Good girl."
All she had to do was fly around and scare the generals and the elite soldiers who took Ozai's side.
At the capital city, many civilians were living their lives normally.
Children of the elite families were playing around and causing trouble everywhere.
It was normal for children to cause trouble for their family.
However, they didn't have time to do that because they saw something unimaginable.
"W—What is that!" said one of the children in a panicky voice.
"It is the dragon, I heard about it from my instructor, It must be the dragon, I am sure of it!"
"Dragon! Are you telling me the thing that is flying toward here is that dragon!"
All the children from the elite families heard about the dragon.
"We have to tell everyone! If the dragon were to attack, we are done!"
The children began to yell to everyone and panic spread like wildfire.
However, before everything could get even more chaos.
The generals and elite soldiers who knew about the dragon came out and calmed them down.
"You all don't need to panic, The dragon master is here!"
"Dragon master?"
They didn't know what or who the dragon master was.
The generals and elite soldiers looked at each other and decided to explain to them.
"The dragon master is the former princess Azula's fiancee. He is coming back with the former princess to ask for justice."
"He has done great service for our nation but the fire lord punished them without justification."
They began to sow the seed of discord.
They were confident with how Arthur appeared with Azula on the mighty dragon back. And how tyranny Ozai ruled his nation so far.
People would choose to side with Arthur and Azula.
They wanted their peaceful life back. Not life full of war and destruction.
And it was like what they had anticipated. People were very dissatisfied with Ozai.
They were taking Arthur and Azula's side.
'This is not good, The coup is happening. I have to tell the fire lord.'
Of course, there were those who sided with the fire lord as well.
They were about to go and inform the fire lord. However, they were known by their friends and families.
They were stopped before they could do something stupid.
"Are you all stupid! Do you want to be eaten by the dragon!"
Sylvie in her true dragon form was so majestic and powerful.
They believed that Ozai was weaker than the dragon. Don't mention the one that subdued it.
Sylvie landed at the center of the city before she roared, announcing her arrival!
All the soldiers and firebenders who sided with Ozai felt primal fear.
Sylvie couldn't control her power but she could control her intent.
It wasn't hard, she just had to focus on those who have malicious intent toward her and her papa!
'I am a good girl!'
Arthur and Azula jumped down from Sylvie.
Arthur then spoke with Sylvie through their linked mind.
'Good job Sylvie. Now you can go and play around. Oh and don't forget about what I tell you.'
'Okay, Papa!'
Sylvie then flew toward the highest place and stood there looking everywhere menacingly.
People who saw that Arthur could tame such a dragon.
They were convinced that Arthur would be the next fire lord.
Arthur had been waiting for this moment. He didn't have to rely on Aang to make people choose him as fire lord.
He didn't use force to become fire lord at all. The tower dungeon system should accept how things turned out.
…
Ozai heard the dragon roar.
He didn't think that the dragon would come to the city like this.
He didn't think that the dragon's arrival in the capital would be related to the traitors.
There was no way they would be able to control the dragon.
This was his opinion toward them. He thought they were incompetent and not worth thinking about.
"Humph, this is good. I can kill it then eat it."
Ozai was really confident in himself. He would become a lot stronger or even become immortal.
He couldn't wait anymore as he walked out of his palace and went toward where his troop was.
He would order his army to attack it until it was weakened, then he would fight it and kill it.
He didn't care how many people died, he would get what he wanted.
