Sokka was contemplating what to do next when suddenly, a high-pitched voice called out to him.
"Hey, Azula! Where are you?!"
Sokka turned to see two young women running in his direction, though they hadn't spotted him yet. It was at this moment that Sokka realized how useful being in Azula's body could be... he could do things that the group only could've imagined before. Plus... he could finally find the person he'd been searching for.
"I'm right here!" Sokka called back in Azula's ice cold voice. Even in her body, it still creeped him out.
"Azula, what happened? Where have you been?" asked Mai.
"Oh, I just..." Sokka looked down to see his old body, still unconscious, laying on the ground. "I found this... riff-raff alone in the woods. Of course, I decided to politely ask him where his friends were staying but he wouldn't talk. And, well, I'm sure you can see how I responded..."
Ty Lee made a face of discomfort, "Sheesh, you didn't beat him up too bad, did you?"
"Just enough to leave a couple of bruises and leave him sore for a few days. I was feeling generous." Sokka replied, giving off one of Azula's trademark smirks.
"So, like, should we look around here some more for the rest of them?" Ty Lee ask.
Sokka just shook his head, finding the feeling of Azula's bangs moving around weird. "No, we don't need to worry about them right now. I have other business I want to take care of. Mainly, interrogating our... special guest."
============================================================================ ===
The Boiling Rock.
A prison located on a remote island somewhere in the ocean. It was a hellish place where only the worst, or those that were unlucky enough to deal with the "justice" system when the Fire Lord was in a bad mood, went... and never returned. It was virtually impregnable and escape was seemingly impossible. And it was this place that Sokka arrived at with Mai and Ty Lee in tow. The trio walked until they reached a special cell, wherein Sokka dismissed his two "friends" so he could have a little alone time with the prisoner.
"Oh boy, a visit from the Princess." the girl said in disgust, "If you expect me to bow down and kiss your royal feet, you're sadly mistaken."
"Suki, wait, you've got it all wrong." Sokka said.
"What?" Suki replied in a confused manner.
"It's me, Suki. It's Sokka."
"Sokka?!"
Sokka proceeded to release the bonds holding Suki's arms at which Suki leaned in and kissed him deeply.
"Whoa." Sokka said in astonishment, "I'm, uh, I'm a girl right now, you know."
"I don't care." Suki replied, "Because inside, you're still the insufferable, smart aleck that I love. But... what was the point of freeing me? They're just gonna lock me back up."
"That's where my awesome genius comes in." Sokka said, looking confident.
============================================================================ =====
"Finally! Azula what took so lo--" Mai's question was cut off by the sight of Suki. "What's she doing out of her cell?!"
"Girls, calm down. I'd like to inform you that our trio has now become a quartet." Sokka said with a smirk.
"WHAT?!" both said in unison.
"Her time here has broken her. Changed her. She now sees the futility of resisting the Fire Nation and has agreed to help us in our cause."
Suki stepped forward and bowed. "My name is Suki. I am a proud Kyoshi Warrior from Kyoshi Island. I have experience with the Avatar and his friends. I hope my skills will be of help to all of you."
