Chapter 53: 53 - Meeting Azula again



Looking back at the shocked faces of his family Levi could barely keep his calm, he doubted he would be able to if he didn't have Gamer's mind active.

He wanted to rush and hug them, to tell them how much he missed them, but sadly he still couldn't do that even though they were right in front of him.

*BOOM*

A loud explosion sounded from the distance as Levi hurriedly looked over, all he could see was a torrent of blue fire shorting into the sky like a fire spear, using his eagle eyes discreetly for a split second Levi saw what was at the head of that torrent of fire and was a little stumped.

'Azula? Did she unlock her blue fire this early in the show?.' wondered Levi, blue fire was even stronger than the normal one so Levi was surprised that Azula had unlocked it so young, but deep down he knew that wasn't completely true.

In the original timeline she definitely didn't unlock it at this age.

His interference with the timeline had already caused this change, the butterfly wings had flapped for long enough that its effects had started to show.

'But so what? I did what I had to do and I would do it again in a heartbeat if I had to.' thought Levi resolutely, he had no regrets.

Plus he was no longer a helpless little child who could only passively react to situations, he wasn't the strongest in this world either, not by far, but he wasn't helpless to face any unexpected situations that might occur due to his interference, whatever might happen, whatever the future holds he was ready.

With a smirk on his face Levi skilfully moved his hands, and it was as if the surrounding water was a part of his body as it listened to him, moving at his will and firing at the approaching blue fire tornado carrying Azula.

The tornado of fire wasn't flying idly either, before the water reached it a part of it protruded and shot out a ball of fire at the incoming water.

Both attacks collided with each other in midair as smoke rose, cancelling each other out.

"Ha-ah, I guess I need to handle this mess first." said Levi before dashing at Azula.

Tenzin pov

Looking at the imposing figure of his disciple standing tall and protecting his family, Tenzin seemed to forget about everything else around him.

Ever since Levi had disappeared in front of him two years ago his mental and physical state had been getting worse and worse by the day.

He blamed himself for it every day but what could that do? It only made his state worse, it couldn't bring back his disciple.

He tried looking everywhere and tried all sorts of methods but in the end it was all in vain, but who would have thought that when he was least expecting it his stupid disciple had returned, and in such a grand way at that, killing one of the enemies commanders and dealing a huge blow to their morale.

But in the end it didn't matter, all he cared about was that he was back safe and sound, and by the look of it he was stronger and better than ever.

Tenzin Didn't know how to feel, there was even a little annoyance mixed with his happiness, it seemed that while he was worried sick these past years his disciple was living a good life.

But he knew one thing for sure, for the first time in the past two years he was finally feeling happy, he felt as if an enormous weight was lifted off his shoulders at that moment.

He had been standing like a statue as he looked at his disciple this whole time, Thankfully the fights had already stopped due to Levi's entrance and the death of an enemy commander or else this slight carelessness on his part might have cost him his life.

Sadly he couldn't even approach his disciple to reunite with him as Azula launched into the sky at the next moment and the fight commenced again.

Seeing the blue tornado crushing down on him Levi didn't panic in the least bit, not to mention his current Fire immunity that came from the red dragon and Acnologia, just with his current power alone he didn't have to fear this attack.

Just when they were about to collide with each other Levi dodged to the side at the last moment evading it perfectly and barely wasting any movement.

By the time Azula came back to her senses Levi was nowhere in sight, looking around she could see the body of a Fire Nation soldier falling down with a hole in his chest.

'NONONONO.' Screamed Azula In her mind, as she frantically looked around for Levi, her eyes darting around madly, as she breathed roughly.

She had never suffered a setback in her entire life, Levi was the first, catching his figure moving around Azula started firing blue fire balls at him, but it was all for naught she didn't manage to hit him even once, in fact she had instead hit her allies.

Ever since she met him last time she had been training like crazy, even injuring herself multiple times until even her strict father who was happy with her determination at first asked her to slow it down, but even then she didn't listen and kept going.

All in the hopes of surpassing him and removing the shadow that hung over her heart for the past two years.

But as she looked at Levi dodging her attack while taking down fire nation soldiers one after another she felt as if all her work and effort went to waste, she couldn't even touch him or catch up to him.

"Your Highness, please retreat to the safety of the ship." a grave voice suddenly sounded next to her snapping her out of her thoughts, looking to her side she could see her loyal commander Ronan standing beside her with a batch of fire nation soldiers, apparently they had approached her while she was crazily firing at Levi that she didn't even notice them.

"Your Highness, please head back to the ship. It's not safe here, I will handle the boy." repeated Ronan and only then did Azula nod her head with a dead look in her eyes as she followed the fire nation soldiers back.

Ronan was most afraid of what happened in that prison two years ago from repeating, if Levi or anyone else took Princess Azula as a hostage all their plans and efforts up to this point would be in vain.

Levi was moving from person to person, killing them like flies, he of course was targeting the weaker opponents first, the stronger ones would take him a while to deal with and that would make him lose his momentum.

Like Yon Rha, the only reason he could instantly kill him was due to the element of surprise, if not, he would have had to fight it out with him, and although he would be able to kill him either way the results wouldn't be the same, and the effects on the fire nation's moral wouldn't be as grand.

His goal right now was to reduce the number of the Fire Nation soldiers as much as he could to reduce the damage to the tribe, and dealing with the weaker ones first was the sensible decision.

Of course he was also keeping an eye out for his family and eliminating the ones closest to them first, if any mishaps occurred he would immediately use limit breaker and rush as fast as possible, of course with Tobirama also around he didn't need to worry much, but it was always good to be safe.

Seeing another fire nation soldier Levi dashed towards him when suddenly his danger sense flared as he immediately jumped back, the place he was at just moments was engulfed in fire.

Turning towards the source of the fire a smile spread on Levi's face, "Commander Ronan, would you believe me if I said that I am so happy to see you I could hug you right now?" said Levi smiling.

"Still as annoying as ever I see." replied Ronan as he walked towards Levi, his expression a mix of annoyance and cautiousness.

"Hehehe." Levi could only laugh not arguing with Ronan, he really meant what he said before, he was so happy that he was back in the physical world that he could barely contain his happiness.

He didn't even bother putting on a sad expression at the death of his fellow tribesman, all that he cared about was that he was in time to save his family, everything else was just the icing on the cake.

Ronan didn't want to talk anymore as he launched a fire blast towards Levi who expertly dodged to the side at the last second evading it and running towards Ronan.

Levi had been through a lot of hardships and battles in the spirit realm in the last two years, his experience in battle had risen sharply so he was even harder to deal with.

But his opponent this time wasn't just some random cannon fodder like all the other fire nation soldiers, it was an elite and although Levi had never fought him before he could tell that he shouldn't underestimate him.

Getting close enough Levi engaged with Ronan in close-quarter combat with none of them managing to land a hit on the other, fists and hits were exchanged so quickly and precisely that most of the people on the battlefield couldn't keep up.

Tenzin who was fighting on the side was one of the few people who could keep up with them and he was speechless, 'This kid!!, what happened to him these last few years.' he couldn't help but wonder, he knew Levi was a genius he even still had hope that he is the avatar, but this improvement shocked even him.

One of the Fire Nation soldiers he was fighting against saw he was distracted and smiling sinisterly he fired a fireball at him, but contrary to his expectations before the fireball hit Tenzin dodged to the side and the one who fired it found his head separated from his body by an extremely precise sweep of water.

"Humph, I might be old but you will need twice this number if you want to kill me." said Tenzin as he started attacking even more fiercely, his opponents were restless. Seeing that he had gained the advantage and disturbed their formation Tenzin pushed on even more.

Standing on the fire nation ship and looking at Levi holding his ground equally against Ronan, Azula couldn't help but feel bitter inside.

She had trained and sparred with Ronan countless times by now, and every time he was playing her like a child, but now he couldn't even get past Levi, what did that mean?

The complicated feelings inside of her only got worse, she was clenching her hands so tight that her nails dug into her flesh.

She was the princess of the fire nation, she received the best training and guidance there is, but even then she couldn't surpass a boy from a backwater tribe like this.

Taking a deep breath in and exhaling to calm herself, Azula continued watching the battle between Levi and her commander, wallowing in self-pity wasn't going to do her any good, she might as well watch the fight and learn something, at the same time her gaze hardened as a sinister smile covered her face.

Levi was still fighting against Ronan, sometimes they used their bending and at other times they just directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, they were both equally matched with each other.

Of course Levi wasn't relying on the boost given to him by his bonded spirits or else this would have been an entirely different story, he wasn't even using all his true strength.

All along he had been wanting to test his strength to see how far he had come, and although Ronan was no master bender he wasn't a weakling either, Levi was satisfied with this test.

'Now it's time to end this.' thought Levi as a smile spread over his face before he spoke, "Commander Ronan it's been a pleasure to meet you again and even fight against you, but sadly I need to end this early."

Hearing Levi's words Ronan was confused before he spoke feeling a little offended, "Hmph you think you can just leave like that?."

In reply Levi didn't say anything instead he activated limit breaker for half a second and the only thing Ronan saw after that was a blur before his body started aching all over the place and he found himself sent flying backwards, 'Im..impossible.' That was his last thought before he lost consciousness.

'Now then time to end this.' thought Levi as he prepared to move.

But suddenly his danger sense flared, he tried to move but the boost from limit breaker was already over, and the attack this time was way too fast, before he could think of anything else his body was struck by a bolt of lightning, getting electrocuted and spasming all over.

Falling on one knee Levi started panting heavily, 'That fucking bitch.' he didn't even need to turn around to know who had sent that attack, there was only one person he knew would could use lightning bending, he just didn't think she had mastered it this soon.

On the Fire Nation's ship Azula had a bright smile on her face as she saw Levi on one knee, "Hahahah I did it, I finally did it." She laughed nonstop, her hard work and efforts weren't for nothing after all, but she didn't completely lose her rationality from joy as she commanded her troops to hurry and retrieve Commander Ronan's unconscious body.

"What will you do now, Levi!." thought Azula as she watched the one who had been a shadow on her heart these past years helpless on one knee.

AN: Alright guys, to say I am speechless would be an understatement, I woke up today to find that I am 16th in the rankings I honestly don't know what to say.

I know I am being greedy but I still hope we can push it further, I don't dream of the top 10 but maybe the 13 or 12 place, anyhow it's all up to you guys, you have done more than enough.

Hope this chapter would be enough to repay you guys, so thank you and marry Christmas.
