Enjoy.

***** 

As he woke up the next morning Levi had his breakfast with his family as usual and then along with his father and a bunch of other guys they boarded a big wooden ship and departed. 

They had sails on their ship but they weren't using them, instead they were using water bending to move the ship forward and it was way much faster than normal. As for the water benders they took turns so as not to tire themselves out before they even reached their destination.

Levi wasn't informed about what their mission would be, all he knew was that it had something to do with rescuing some prisoners, but he didn't know the exact details.

'It doesn't really matter as long as there isn't any lethal danger I can't handle and I can kill to my heart's content, it's all good.’ thought Levi with a little smirk on his face, if it wasn't for Gamer’s mind he doubted he would be as calm right now.

‘Although I wonder how Father and the others will react to me taking a life for the first time, it would be a hassle to pretend that it affected me deeply or anything like that.’

‘I'll just attribute it to the bear accident and how it changed me. They should accept such reasoning.’ thought Levi as he closed his eyes in meditation, there was no reason to waste time when he could level up some skills.

Somewhere in the ocean, a big metal ship that looked like a slumbering beast was sailing quickly with speeds that are impossible for ships that still use sails or don't have water benders, it was sailing away from the fire nation.

On the deck of the ship was a tiny chair fit only for a little kid, on it sat an 8-year-old girl with an arrogant look on her face, her elbow positioned in the armrest of the chair as she rested her head on her hand and looked at the gathered soldiers in front of her in an army formation and at the commander facing them and speaking to them.

"Today's mission is different, we got word that some of the forces of the southern water tribe are planning a rescue operation to free some of their tribe's men as well as some of the earth kingdom prisoners.”

“For this mission all of you will listen to Princess Azula's orders and protect her at all costs even at the cost of your life…” Said the commander solemnly.

Hearing Azula’s eyebrow twitched but she didn't say anything, 'Filthy scum, you think I need your protection? I can take out those barbarians by myself while you sit on the side.

“You will eliminate all the attackers and capture those you can, but your top priority is still the protection of the princess, Am I clear?”

“YES SIR!”

Getting his soldier's reply the commander turned towards Azula and bowed his waist a little.

“Your Highness, is there anything else you would like to add?” he asked respectfully.

Looking at the commander up and down with her head still resting on her hand and legs crossed, Azula said, "Yes there is one more thing, tell your soldiers to focus more on their fight and not on me, I am more than capable of taking care of myself.”

“But your highness….” Said the commander trying to oppose her decision but he stopped speaking as Azula sent him a look that made him go silent.

Turning around to face his soldiers he shouted, "You heard the princess, you should focus on yourself and your safety first. Her royal highness has been training ever since she could walk and could take care of herself.” Said the commander, making the soldiers direct looks of admiration and gratitude towards her.

‘You seem to have misunderstood my intentions.’ Thought Azula her brow twitching.

“Am I understood.” said the commander but there seemed to be another meaning hidden in his eyes and the soldiers seemed to pick up on it as they shouted again.

“Sir Yes sir.” replied the soldiers as one 

‘Sigh, whatever, this is going to be fun.’ Thought Azula as she looked at the horizon deciding to ignore her soldiers.

Back on the ship Levi and the southern water tribe soldiers border.

“We are approaching the prison, everyone be ready.”Yelled Hakoda at the top of his lungs, making everyone scramble to get into position.

Levi was already informed of the specifics of the mission on their way here. Their mission was to basically free their fellow tribesmen along with some earth benders from the earth kingdom from a prison located in the middle of the ocean.

Thinking about it it was kind of dumb, but the earth benders have been kept as far away from the water as possible so it worked.

This mission was sent to the Southern water tribe as they were the closest to the prison and the Earth kingdom wasn't really that efficient in the ocean, even sailing would have been a challenge for them.

What surprised Levi was that there was constant communication and exchange of information between the water and earth nations which wasn't shown in the show.

They already got information about the weak spots of the prison, the guard's numbers and rotation, and so much more if everything goes according to plan this will be a walk in the park.

Levi didn't know where they got this information and he wasn't stupid enough to ask as he knew that there was no way he would know.

Before long the prison appeared on the horizon followed by the shout of their watchman stationed at the crow nest of the ship.

"WE ARE HERE BRACE YOURSELVES." 

Hearing him everyone on the ship seemed to come to life, as everyone took their post like a well-oiled machine.

Levi felt out of place as this was his first mission and he didn't know where to go.

 

And so thinking quickly he approached the front and stood next to his father who stood alone at the front of the group.

Feeling someone beside him hakoda turned and was surprised to see it was his son before he 

Smiled and patted his head, "It's okay boy no need to be so nervous am with you.” said Hakoda, misunderstanding why Levi came to stand next to him.

"I am not nervous at all dad, in fact I am excited.” said Levi looking at his father with calm eyes.  

“Hahaha, Of course, why would my son be afraid?” Said hakoda laughing but it was obvious that he didn't believe what Levi said.

'Sigh, no need to explain to him, let's just focus on this battle first.’ Thought Levi.

The guards on the iroh prison walls seemed to notice them approaching as an alarm sounded from afar and there seemed to be more people and movement on the walls.

Their ship got closer and closer as the water benders got into position in preparation for any attacks which didn't take long.

A rain of fire like none Levi had ever seen before came crashing towards them from the sky like rain.

He could even see some of the people around him trembling and shaking.

'If it weren't for the gamer's mind would I be the same as them?' thought Levi wondering, but, he had no intention to turn it off and find out.

As he looked at the rain of fire again he could see how the fire nation could be so powerful and fearful and how it could reduce the world to its current state.

‘Fire, what a beautiful and dangerous element.’ he thought, almost shaking in excitement at the day he would be able to wield it.

Looking at his son, Hakoda was at first surprised to see the calm look on his face before that surprise turned into a proud expression as he turned towards the rain of fire and shouted. 

"WATER BDNEERS, STOP THE ATTACK." 

At his words all the water benders moved like one unit with Levi copying them and raising water from the ocean launching it at the volley of fire heading towards them. 

The fire was extinguished effortlessly and no one was surprised, not even the Fire Nation soldiers. This was the water bender's home field. If they could do at least that they should just jump into the fire directly, the real battle will start after they board the prison and they lose the constant supply of water around them.

The fire nation benders kept sending fire attacks one after another and the water benders kept extinguishing them one by one and getting closer and closer to the prison.

‘Something is wrong.’ thought Levi, ‘It's like they're intentionally trying to tire us out.’

‘It doesn't make sense for them to keep spamming useless attacks like this knowing that it'll tire them more than us considering we have way more advantage.’ 

‘Unless there are more of them inside !?’

‘But, it's unlikely that we will launch such an attack without accurate information on their numbers so this must be most of them.’

Levi kept racking his brain trying to come up with a logical reason for the fire nation soldiers' behaviour but nothing came to mind. The thought stayed at the back of his head bothering him and not going away. 

It wasn't till they were already docked at the prison harbour and landed on it that it clicked in his head.

'They're getting reinforcements!.’

‘But that can't be, the only reason they'd be getting them is that they must have known about our arrival beforehand!.’
