3 More training and zuko

Azula thought that it would be easy to train and learn to bend lightning. Unfortunately for her, it wasn't as easy as she thought. The first time she tried without her father generating lightning, she almost lost an arm if it weren't for her father who was fast enough to discharge it out of her body. The second time, her whole body convulsed and she fainted... Days passed and on the 2nd week of training, she was able to discharge some lightning but due to her excitement, some stayed and was not discharge. Her father did not noticed the leftover lightning in her body, but she did and what she felt shocked her. The virus inside her, instead of being decimated and obliterated by the lightning, consumed the lightning and caused the virus to evolve this time.

She told her father that she will be resting for the day since they have been training for hours and that she was already tired for the day. Ozai, knowing that it isn't as easy to train in the ways of the lightning, agreed since even he took years to be able to produce lightning by himself. Azula got to her room and tried to feel the changes on her body and was surprised. When her hand changed to look like the virus, instead of the blood red color like lava, the lining is colored blue and is glowing while you can hear the faint sound of chirping birds. She was so shocked that she didn't realize the smile on her face reaching her eyes. She tried producing lightning while bending and this time, she was able to do so albeit small. She tried a few more of her abilities outside her courtyard near where there's a pond to not cause too much damage.

'I remember Alex Mercer having transformed his arms into a blade. Maybe I can do that while bending. But first, I should focus on my lightning first and see my limit. After that, I'll try the blade form of my arms. If I succeed, I'll try and combine both. I can't wait. So many things to be done, yet my body can't do it or else My growth will suffer.'

A few more days of training with her father, and on the 5th week of their training, she decided to show her own generated lightning while bending. This cause her father to be so surprised he showed a deranged smile while looking at her which caused her to frown. She thought about why Princess Azula from the tv show was so obsessed with gaining her fathers approval and always wanted his attention. She was confused but since she couldn't find in her memories why that was, she just shrugged it off and told herself she'll deal with it when the time.

In the Fire lord's throne room

Ozai: "Zuko, I want you to go and train with your sister. She has mastered both lightning and fire bending while you on the other hand, still hasn't mastered Firebending. Your sister is now trying to learn hand to hand combat and is incorporating her bending while fighting. Even though you're two years older than her, how come she's showing more progress than you?"

Zuko: "(while frowning) yes father. I will do what you say."

Zuko went to his sisters training grounds and found her sleeping under the shade of a tree. When he saw her sleeping face, he couldn't help but smile at his sisters cute sleeping face. Although their father makes him feel like Ozai loves Azula more than him, he can't help but feel that he needs to protect his sister and always be there for her. If only he knew that his sister is a living virus, he would think otherwise. He sat down beside her and waited for her to wake up before they start sparring.

Azula woke up after 30 minutes and noticed someone beside her. When she turned her head, she saw that Zuko was sitting beside her and meditating.

Azula: "hello Zuzu, how are you? How long have you been here? Did you need me for something?"

Zuko: "not that long. Just a few minutes. Did you have a good nap?"

Azula: "yes! It was nice. I feel refreshed now."

Zuko: "good! Father told me to spar with you for training. I'm really envious of you. You were able to master both fire and lightning while I'm still trying to master fire."

Noticing zuko's gloomy atmosphere, Azula tried to comfort him by telling him that she will teach her and train with him. Zuko being an 8 years old naive child beamed with happiness and they decided to train together. Azula ended up not sparring but more like a teacher since she showed him how she bends.

Azula: "Zuzu, when Firebending, you need extreme emotions and to match your breathing while circulating your chi inside your body and expel it out. When you release your chi fueled by your emotions, follow it with your breathing technique and bam fire will come out strong. I noticed that when you're releasing your chi, it's lacking the oomph. Watch me."

She closed her eyes and concentrated, then she started doing some martial arts. Her form was perfect and she looked like she was dancing very gracefully and suddenly she opened her eyes with a fierce look and punch upwards and a stream of blue fire came out. This surprised zuko and Azula. Zuko because he's never seen blue fire before and Azula because she finally was able to produce blue fire. She has been trying to achieve blue fire but to no avail. To their happiness, they didn't noticed their father nearby grinning pervertedly when he saw Azula producing a blue flames that they haven't seen in centuries.
