Y/N cautiously opens the metal door to Zuko's chambers to see him on the floor sitting with his arms crossed.

"For the last time, Y/N, I am not playing your stupid sungi horn!" Zuko said immediately.

"I'm not here to talk about that, it's about our plans. We have a problem." Y/N said. After saying that, Admiral Zhao steps behind her.

"I'm taking your crew." Zhao said.

"What?!" Zuko said immediately standing up.

"I've recruited them for a little expedition to the North Pole." Zhao explained.

"Y/N, is that true?" Zuko asked.

"Unfortunately, yes." Y/N said. "He's taking everyone. Including me."

"What?!" Zuko flared out. Zuko steps straight up to Zhao's face. "What could you possibly need Y/N for?!"

"I'm invading the North Pole and I need as many soldiers as possible. With that, I also need healers too. I already have 20 Seang healers, adding in Lady Y/N will be needed, too." Zhao said. "Too bad you won't watch me capture the Avatar. But I can't let you come. I don't need you in my way again."

Zuko was about to charge at Zhao before Y/N stepped in and pushed him back.

"No!"

Zhao then casually walked up to the swords that were displayed on Zuko's wall for a very long time. Too long.

Y/N looks at Zuko's face like he was anxious about something. Then it hit her. Those were the swords that Zuko used to save Aang.

Zhao picks up one of the swords. "I didn't know you were skilled with broadswords, Prince Zuko." Zhao said.

"I'm not. They're antiques. Just decorative." Zuko said lying through his teeth.

"Have you heard of the Blue Spirit, Lady Y/N?" Zhao asked.

"Not really... I don't think he's real." Y/N said.

Why did I say that, of course he's real! Y/N thought. I am so bad at lying.

"He's real, all right. He's a criminal and an enemy of the Fire Nation. But I have a feeling justice will catch up with him soon." Zhao said. "After all, it's not like he's an actual spirit. Probably just some kid who's lost his mind."

With that Zhao closed the door.

Immediately, Zuko kicked a box with a loud grunt making it fly across the room.

"Why did you accept the mission?!" Zuko asked in frustration.

"Zuko, I-."

"I have done so much for you, and you betray me like that! You go with him! You accept his offer to fight with him!" Zuko yelled.
