Alexander grabbed Ozai's face and slammed him onto the ground. It created a shockwave big enough to cover them in the dust.
"Leave the body of this mortal, Vaatu," Alexander ordered. But Vaatu ignored.
"Why would I? This is the perfect time to use this body. Fight him, Ozai. You have my support." Vaatu said, encouraging his host. Even though he didn't have much confidence.
Ozai started spewing black flames from his mouth. Alexander had a plain face the whole time fire was touching him.
"What a weak fire, even Ragnarok's burp is stronger than this," Alexander mocked and punched Ozai's face.
*BAM*
"Come out, Vaatu. If I kill this man, you will die too." Alexander threatened him.
"Huh, I know you won't kill me. I am the part of the balance that is keeping this world intact." Vaatu smugly claimed.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that. Yes, I won't kill you but I can certainly harm you. For example, I can change you into an insect with reduced power. It is your existence that is important, not your strength and attitude." Alexander threatened him. This time Vaatu didn't immediately reply.
Alexander activated his eyes and put his hand on Ozai's face. "Now, come out like a good boy,"
He used his powers to take out the power inside Ozai's body which was simply Vaatu. He was a spirit so his body was untangible in the physical realm which was the reason he came out so easily.
Ozai shrieked in pain the whole time. Alexander knew that the man was most probably having the biggest migraine to ever occur. Vaatu had housed himself in Ozai's brain like some kind of fat lord in his castle to control his mind better.
After a few seconds, he really pulled out a black kite-like thing from Ozai's mouth.
Vaatu, realizing that his plan failed and tried to flee. But Alexander caught him and took him to the sky with him. "I will give you the beating of a lifetime now that you will remember forever."
*BAM*
...
On a balcony of the Royal Palace, Ragnarok and Iroh sat and watched the whole fight going on outside.
"What a beautiful scenery. You don't get to see a fire show every day," Ragnarok joked.
"You have become really good at Pai Sho, my friend." Iroh praised him.
"Well, I learned from the best," Ragnarok said.
"Oh, look, I guess it's time for me to involve myself," Iroh exclaimed and jumped from the balcony.
"HEY, what about our bet?" Ragnarok asked loudly.
Upon receiving no reply he just shamelessly bagged all the money, "Well, he quit so I guess that makes me the winner. Haha..."
...
Ozai quickly stood up when Vaatu left his body. He looked around and saw Aang. Then he looked at his hands, realizing that he was fooled by Vaatu as he had started to lose control over his mind and body just a while ago.
He was enraged and unstable. He wanted to take out his anger at whatever he could. He could only see Aang there so he went ahead to do it.
"YOU! I WILL KILL YOU AND MAKE THE WORLD KNEEL!" He shouted and launched himself towards Aang. Moments before reaching Aang, Ozai threw a fire punch.
Still a bit injured and fearful of the black fire, Aang froze up and tried to counter with his air. But even his eyes were closed, not even realizing that now it was just a normal fire.
"HEY! OPEN YOUR EYES!" A shout came.
Aang looked up and saw Iroh, Zuko, Katara, Toph, and even Azula standing in front of him, protecting him.
Ozai amusingly looked at the scene. "Ah, I shouldn't be surprised now. The most incompetent man in the family, Iroh,"
"Surrender, Ozai. You still have a chance," Iroh warned him.
Ozai scoffed and started speaking proudly, "Huh, you dare to threaten me? I knew you would never be a good Fire Lord. You should be down kissing my feet for bringing the Fire Nation to such heights. Instead of sulking for your dead son and drinking tea. You even passed your foolishness to my son.
"Let me tell you a secret, Iroh, this should be a shocker to you. I got your son killed. IT WAS ME!"
Silence ensued around the whole place. Even the supersonic beating received by Vaatu in the sky felt like pure silence.
Iroh suddenly lost balance and fell down on the ground. This was probably a big hit to his already hurt heart. He looked at Ozzai and asked with an expressionless face, "Why would you do this to your own family?"
"Because you were father's favorite. You were the only great talented son in his eyes. You lacked ambition, Iroh. I knew it. I knew that as long as you were alive I would never become the Fire Lord.
"I had in fact sent assassins for you too. But sadly, you fought them off. But I still became the Fire Lord. The odorless and textureless poison that Ursa provided me to kill father right in his sleep was very efficient." Ozai said, just confessing that he killed the last fire lord.
*BOOM*
Suddenly a fireball hit Ozai's face. "WHAT... DID... YOU... DO... TO... MOTHER?"
It was Azula who had attacked. Her face looked really angry at the moment.
"I never thought you loved your mother so much. Well, I guess we learn new things every day. I will have to straighten you out later." Ozai said, seemingly forgetting that the fight going on in the sky would decide his fate and not this one.
Unknown to him that his fate was already decided because what was happening in the sky was not a fight but a one-sided beating.
Zuko looked at Iroh worriedly, he felt like Iroh suddenly aged a decade in a matter of seconds. His heart ached for the kind uncle who never gave up on him.
"Go Zuko, stop him. He has gone too far." Iroh seriously stated.
Zuko nodded and joined his sister in the fight against Ozai.
"Oh, here comes my biggest disappointment. Ugh... I should have killed you back then. Why did I even listen to Ursa? You being dead would have been more profitable for me." Ozai mockingly said.
Zuko's fire suddenly lost its intensity.
*BOOOM*
Ozai tried to punch Zuko in the face but Azula stopped it. She kicked Zuko on his ass to make him focus, "Zuko, you fool, he is trying to manipulate you with words, he's playing mind games. He's been teaching this to me since I was small. Don't die on me now, I don't want to become the Fire Lord when I have found the light of my life,"
Somewhere inside the palace, a certain bald man scratched his shining bald head and sneezed at that moment. ~Am I allergic to seaweed now?~
Zuko came out of his stupor and calmly looked at the grinning face of Ozai. "YOU ARE DISGUSTING, I am ashamed to have a father like you. Uncle Iroh is more of a father to me than you ever did."
For some reason, this enraged Ozai. That even his docile son was talking back now. He was not going to kill Zuko originally but now his mind was clouded.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! You ungrateful son,"
Ozai started using his full power to fight them. It was honestly a lot. Both Azula and Zuko were good at firebending but the amount of fire Ozai was bending was too much.
He could really burn the whole city if he wanted to.
"HAHAHA... where are you running now?" Ozai shouted. He was clearly in a crazed state now. His eyes looked bloodshot red.
Azula then appeared behind him and threw her blue flames at him, "Where is mother? Tell me?"
Ozai didn't even turn around. He gave a horse kick to Azula with a big amount of fire. "She is dead. DEAD!."
"NO!" Zuko shouted in disbelief and jumped onto Ozai's back and started punching his head furiously with his fiery fist.
"YOU... ARE... LYING" He rejected Ozai's words while punching.
*BAM*
While Ozai was taken aback by Zuko's attack, Azula punched him in the guts with blue flames and then proceeded to kick his nuts as hard as possible, also with flames.
Katara's waterbending was useless at the moment because the amount of fire Ozai was making instantly turned water into steam.
But Toph was free. She quickly imprisoned him in a block of stone. Only his face and hands were out, to make sure he didn't blast the stone. The rest of his body was inside the stone.
Everyone took a sigh of relief at that moment.
"Now, tell me where mother is?" Azula asked, bringing her flaming hand close to Ozai's face.
"Hah... you don't have the guts to do it, girl. And your mother is dead, just accept it." Ozai persisted.
*BAM*
Azula did punch him hard, "I will do it again, now tell me,"
Suddenly Ozai smirked, "You shouldn't have left my feet covered,"
Before anyone could understand what he meant, a loud explosion happened. It was big enough to throw everyone a few meters away.
Ozai got up and stretched his arms, "You forgot I could do Lightningbending. Well, anyway, let's start the main course now. COME! My children."
He was not asking Zuko or others to come to him.
Hundreds of angry demonic spirits from the spirit realm appeared around Ozai. "For agreeing with Vaatu, he gave me these as a price. I got rid of him and now I rule them."
"Guess what will happen now?"
Ozai smirked and then waved his arm, telling all the angry spirits to attack.
