Before anything else is stated I want it to be known that I do love both Azula and Zuko; so no this isn't gonna be a Zuko hate/bash Zuko article.

So instead of getting straight into the actual matter of the agni kai, I'd like to go over why I think Azula in general is more powerful than Zuko. This I will post from an older article (so if you read this one you may as well just scroll down lol); First and foremost, the obvious; Azula has Blue fire (supposedly hotter than any other fire) on the show. This is something unique to Azula and Azula alone. Where as Bloodbending is not unique to Katara....

This story will contain spoilers! You will understand when you read it. If you have not finished the series and do not want it spoiled then stop reading here.

This story is about Azula when she's on the path to insanity. This is what I think her actions, and thoughts were in between scenes from the series. Let's begin. Keep in mind that none of this is fact, it's just fanfiction.


Following the events of The Boiling Rock Part 2:

Azula had just escaped the island.
I can't believe that Mai and Ty Lee betrayed me! she thought, maybe it was that I controlled them through fea- NO. Fear is the most reliable...

A week has past and Azula feels as if she has changed. She felt slightly more concern and kindness for people who she normally wouldn't care about. One day some fire nation guards were attacking a family. It was a single mother with two children. She couldn't pay her bills to the fire nation so they decided to take away her children. She tried to get them back but they held her back.

Jet saw this and ran right to them to help but they grabbed him and were going to kill him. Azula saw this and wasn't sure what to do. Her mission was about to be complete but she just couldn't let it happen. So...

Mai is the daughter of the Governor of "New Ozai" and his oldest child. During the course of the series, she becomes one of Princess Azula's main sidekicks (thereby one of Team Avatar's greatest foes), as well as Prince Zuko's love interest. As one of the most privileged girls in...

The sun is down, the gang is talking about who should go and talk to Azula to find out how she feels about Jet.

"I say Katara" said Sokka

"Why Me" asked Katara

"Because you always putting your nose where it's not wanted, and you'll get an answer out of her" said Toph

"Why don't Zuko, Iroh, Mai, or Ty Lee do it, they've known her all her life" said Katara

"Because we can never get anything out of her, you on the other hand always do" said Zuko

"Give it a try Katara" said Aang

"Fine" said Katara as she walked off.

Katara went to Azula's room which was Yue's room before she turned into the moon spirt,...

It's been a week since, Katara hasn't talked about Azula's mother because she know's it might upset her. They've been traveling until sunset, they found a place to stay with some nice rich people who offered them rooms to sleep in for the night and some dinner. The sun went down and Azula changed back into a monster. They gang was down at dinner and wondered where Azula is.

"Where's Azula" asked Aang

"I think she's still in her room" said Katara

"I wonder why she's not down here for dinner she hasn't ate since this morning" said Ty Lee

"Well she needs to come down for food, she can't exist on air"...

It's now morning the sun is up so Azula is a beautiful princess. She now thinks she'll need to act nice, so she picked some apples.

"Good morning everyone" said Azula

"Azula are you alright" asked Zuko

"Yes I feel fine" said Azula

"Did Sokka give you some cactis juice" asked Katara

"No. Who wants breakfast" asked Azula

"Azula did you put any poison or rub them on some poison mushrooms" asked Toph

"No of course not" said Azula

"These a tasty apples" said Iroh as he ate an apple.

"I even made you some tea uncle, I hope I made it the way you like it" said Azula

"My dear you make good tea, after all this...
