Zuko- we need to have this ship repaired! Iroh- we will prince Zuko be patient. Zuko- we can't waste time I don't want to lose him uncle. Iroh- you mean the avatar? Zuko - don't use his name we don't want every firebender in the fire nation after him. A man walks up to them Zuko glares at him, prince Zuko general Iroh what brings you here he asked. Iroh- please I am retired. Zuko- just getting our ship repaired captain Zhou. Zhou- its commander now, but please tell me what happened. Zuko- well it was you tell him uncle. Iroh- well it was ( whispers to Zuko) what happen we crash? Zhou looks suspicious. Zuko- yes right into a earth kingdom ship. Zhou- really well you must give me all the details perhaps over some tea? Zuko- oh we really can't. Iroh- Zuko don't be rude we would love to do you have jasmine? Zhou- actually I believe we do come sit. They walk into his tent and sit. Zhou- so was there a fight? Zuko- yes but nothing I could not handle. Zhou- no of course not, so earth benders was it? Zuko- yes. Zhou- and they earth bent at you? Zuko- of course. Zhou- how? Zuko- what? Zhou- if they were on a ship in the water how did they earth bend? Zuko- they had earth on the ship with them. Zhou- really how? Zuko- I don't know they just did! Zhou- ok so how is the search for the avatar going? Zuko- we have not found him yet. Zhou- did you really expect to? He proberly died a hundred years ago with the other airbender. Zuko- yeah your probably right. Zhou- unless you have reason to believe he is still alive. Zuko- no like you said he is probably dead. Guard- sir we questioned the crew just like you asked prince Zuko had the avatar but let him escape. Zhou- now tell how was it your ship got damaged? Zuko- ok I found the avatar he is mine! Zhou- you had your chance now its mine! Restrain him. Zhou walks away. Zuko kicks a table over. Iroh- more tea please. Zhou returns a few minutes later. Zhou- your ship is almost ready as soon as I leave your free to go. Zuko- why afraid I might get in your way? Zhou laughs. Zhou- as if you could stop me your just a banished prince! Zuko- as soon as I have the avatar my father will welcome me home! And I will be your superior! Zhou- your a embarrassment to him you have the scare to prove it. Zuko- you want one to match?! Zhou- is that a challenge? Zuko- Agnia kid sun down! Zhou- so be it too bad your father is not here to watch oh well your uncle will do! Iroh- Zuko have you forgotten what happen last time you dueled a master? Zuko- no uncle I will never forget! At sun down Zuko met Zhou at a training field for their duel. Zhou- so you actually showed up I am impressed. Iroh- don't forget your basics Zuko they can save your life. Zuko- I know uncle. Zhou fire a blast directorly at Zuko but Zuko slaps it away. Zhou fires three more forcing Zuko back but he still slaps them away. Zhou spins then kicks two waves of fire at Zuko. Zuko blocks them redirecting the fire away but he knows he can't keep this up he is losing. Iroh- basics Zuko break his form! Zhou- shut up old fool. Zuko's eyes widen a plan forming and his rage burning, how dare Zhou talk to his uncle like that. Zuko push his arms forward shooting a fire blast from each. He kept moving his arms and fist in a punching motion firing consecutive blast of fire at Zhou. Zhou tries to dodge and block but can't keep up he is knock to the ground. Zuko walks forward but Zhou kicks up shooting fire at Zuko. Zuko ducks the spins kick Zhou's feet out from under him. Zuko stands over his fallen opponent the fires a fire ball right beside Zhou's head. A black scorch mark on the ground that could have been Zhou's head. Zuko- don't get in my way again. Zhou- weak. He tries to attack Zuko but Iroh kicks him back. Iroh - this is how you act in defeat pathetic my nephew even in exile has more honor than you, lets go Zuko. Zhou tries to attack Iroh but Zuko notices and charges with a fire sword cut off Zhou left hand. Zhou- aaargghh you son of a bit... Zuko- try anything again you will lose more than that lets go now uncle.
