Chapter 203: A Day's Changes
One day is all it took to change many things.
"Pft! Hahahaha!" Toph, unabashed as usual, rolled on the ground laughing as it took all she had for June to barely raise a pebble in front of the rest of Nik's harem once they were made aware of her condition being treated and now it was clear that even with his technique of making the mind, body, and spirit one, others cannot just become benders magically. There must be more reasons why not everyone can bend aside from spirituality but many were still amazed.
June didn't find Toph's laughter grating. She'd made enough blind jokes to have a good rapport with the Blind Bandit and looked more amused than irritated instead, "Huh, back to whips it is."
"But you can still practice. In time... maybe you can bend larger pebbles," Nik snickered, making June scoff as she threw the pebble at his head and he caught it promptly.
"Well... I AM a little interested in this," Suki raised her brow, "But I would rather wait for now... even though we promised to keep things in the air until you initiated it yourself but I am more curious about... the future adventures," Suki remarked while Azula, Jin, and June felt a little weird by what she was trying to imply.
"Yeah, that reminds me. You said you had something to tell me..." June looked at Nik who looked a little thoughtful and shrugged, "Yeah, it's kind of important but... I don't want to repeat all that again just for the three of you... you know? I'll tell you guys, I don't know, once we put these things past us."
Others who knew what he was talking about rolled their eyes. He was getting greedier and more unashamed by the day!
Once they all dispersed for their morning routine, Poppy and Michi were caught in Suki's relentless grip once again. Due to searching other prisons, Suki hadn't been able to train those interested in joining the cult of perky-assed Kyoshi Warriors but now that she had the time, the leader even pulled the barely interested June into the world of makeup that she once made fun of.
Even Jin whined five minutes into the training, much to Azula's humor who didn't let go of the chance to make fun of the girl's bulging assets. Really, that just made Jin stand out more, similar to Poppy.
Katara felt a little exhausted that she couldn't find her father even now and was beginning to worry about the worst but she also felt fortunate that they scoured the entire Poor Man's Land and the targets for finding prison were narrowed down to Phoenix City and the Fire Nation Capital. But... Nik's recently revealed ability made her groan in frustration and trained as he showed an ability that surpassed their waterbending master, Hama, in her very creation.
Toph was busy with metal bending and Yue, too, was eager to help the Kyoshi Warriors by healing their exhaustions. Mai, meanwhile... was NOT eager to help Toph with her morning training, and the fact that they all had a routine in his personal space made him relieved because it was working. The act of developing his personal land, that is. The village close to the mansion he liberated from a depraved father allowed his girls to live a life in here. Even if he moved constantly, they had a home... a developing one, at least. And he wasn't worried about the size of the land being limited... not after he became a Rank 1 Intern.
Still, these things were for later. He and Azula left this space to have their morning training with Zuko under Iroh's teaching while Nik was eager about his advancement after he truly made use of La's essence this time.

"Since when were you two so chummy? Are you planning to have a special thing with every one of my family members?" Azula raised a brow as she leaned against a rock while looking at Nik and Zuko just chatting idly. Her scratchy and somewhat coy tone caught Nik's attention as she gave him a meaningful stare but Zuko was none the wiser and scowled, "Shove it, Azula. We're just talking... and Uncle says he's the best one to ask for sparring."
"Is that it?" Azula giggled and walked up to the duo as they were still inside one of the caves while Iroh had left only a few minutes before for the store. Her fingers traced Nik's shoulder as she shot both of them a playful look, making them roll their eyes while she hummed, "I have sparred with him, Zuzu, and it has always been a crushing defeat for me. He'd easily pin me down and make our differences clear that even a Princess like me... can only be on her knees, or at times, on her fours."
"Then you're weak. I'm not about to admit defeat!" Zuko snorted.
'Oh, you poor, sweet summer boy,' Nik sighed internally as he realized Azula had a way with words that always made his cock strain against the fabric around his crotch but he was experienced enough to keep it discreet.
"Whoever said about being weak?" Azula smirked, "And Zuzu, I'm not giving up either. But... I have had enough fun," she narrowed her eyes once she noticed the discreet bulged and let out a husky breath against him before chuckling, "And I will let the two of you have some fun without me. After all, I'm still a little bit annoyed by Nik right here for various reasons so you can have him."
'Blueballing, huh... It's come to that... or maybe she just knows that what will come with a patient annoyance is just... much more,' Nik groaned internally and looked at Zuko who was ready to spar.
"Don't you have chores? Even Jin won't be joining for the day so it's really you, Iroh, Katara, and your mother."
"Why isn't she coming?" Zuko inquired.
"Oh," Azula chirped, only wanting chaos in her wake, "She's sore with all the training she did." She couldn't have made her tone more suggestive but... she was speaking the truth. The Kyoshi Leader did a number on her apprentices. And even with Yue, many just felt lethargic. June, later wanted to try bending the earth more.
Her words froze Zuko's expression who looked towards Nik as the youth could only shrug, "Well... we really did train. Anyway, if you want to spar, I'm all up for it. But since both of you are here, you should know that your mother is suspicious of you two. Being the Blue Devil and all that. Of course, Azula had an intimate... heart-to-heart with her so she can tell you what's going on."
Nik smiled, 'Aaaanddd... reversal!'
It was Azula's time to reveal a look of betrayal, making Nik scoff internally as if only she had a patent for screwing with others. Honestly, Nik now just knew Azula loved getting... well, shoved.
"Did you tell her anything?" Zuko's head whipped in Azula's direction as she snorted through her nostrils and crossed her arms underneath. And now that she wasn't wearing a strip for a bikini top, she didn't need to fear her nipples popping out.
"Of course, not. But I don't have any reason to hide it from her. We did win, after all. All the Dai Li men are imprisoned by the Earthbenders in one of the only metal prisons that didn't disappear."
She shot Nik an annoyed look when speaking about this but he shrugged.
Hey, he wanted to keep devouring things for AP at a steady rate, that's all.
"Tch... but what if she..." Zuko grew silent and realized... what if Ursa did... what, exactly? As Azula said, they had a massive victory. Even Phoenix City would be hurting from the number of agents they lost. Although none of them spoke anything about Dai Li, Phoenix King's ambition, and many other things, Azula and Nik alongside others knew a few things already.
For instance, the rebellion may just be filled with sleeper agents of the Phoenix King, not knowing themselves that they were long in the control of someone else. What their ol' daddy had in mind was a terrifying genocide far beyond a war's scope.
But the fact that even after a day the rebellion wasn't attacked by the Phoenix King and his forces was making Nik further and further believe that the man was upto something. Whoever summoned Dhi in the material plane may not have expected the Spirit of Cognition to appreciate Nik and even trade the mask of Koh for useful information but they must have prepared backup plans.
"Still, it's up to the two of you. I think I can stall Ursa for a while longer with other things." Nik smiled and this made Azula's glare even sharper as he continued with a chuckle, "Oh, come on, Azula. Your mom is fine with the two of us. Didn't she make that clear last night?"
"Wait, what? You two?" Zuko gaped and looked at the duo with his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yeah, brother, have fun chatting with Azula," Nik smiled and patted the duo's shoulders before skipping away as it was Azula's turn to feel horribly miffed by him.
Can't she screw with someone and not have it blown all over her face and tits just one time?!
"So..." As Nik left, Zuko spoke up awkwardly.
"Whatever," Azula rolled her eyes and smiled, "Since the cat's out of the bag, I suppose we can also forgive one another, right, Zuzu?"
"What do you mean?"
"I meant, we both made up with Jin in our own manners... and I admit I did encourage you that night."
"Sigh..." Letting out a grumbling sigh he muttered reluctantly, "It's fine— wait, how did you know I apologized to Jin?"
"Oh, she told me this morning," Azula purred and leaned in on Zuko, whispering into his ear, "And this close with a happy smile. I did say she was sore after the night, remember?"
His eyes widened and the man endured the terrible case of cockblock as he growled, "Fuck you, Azula! I'll fight you right now!"
"Hmm, and here I thought you got over your issues, Zuzu. Yeah, Katara told me that... real close," she purred naughtily again with blue flames covering her hand as she winked. Zuko winced further, not imagining anything else but him beating Azula with pure prejudice!

Ursa barely resisted the urge to groan when she returned home at night and saw the table already set. There sat a smirking Azula, her full lips tugged up with a hint of mischief while Zuko leaned against the table, brooding. Something must have happened between the duo either in their training or when Zuko wasn't helping out in the store. After all, he still tended to the farm with his friend Kei Lo.
"Hmm, you two set up the table, huh," Ursa averted her gaze as the recollection she would ONLY consider a dream filtered her mind. The soppy, drenched lips next to her mouth and that filling taste which had been raw dogged by a thick, hammering— she quickly shook these thoughts away and helped them serve the food before sitting opposite to Azula next to Zuko who sat in between the duo.
"Mother," as they began eating, Azula spoke up and her tone only made Ursa wish to avoid the topic, "I was discussing what happened between me and you with Zuzu..."
Ursa's eyes snapped wide open, "What are you talking about?!"
Her outburst only made Azula's smirk widen into a grin that bared her teeth as she playfully rolled the left lock of her hair with her index and spoke with a coy tone, "Mother..." she drawled and shyly averted her gaze, almost making Ursa choke on her own spit, "You know, me being with Nik and all that. Gosh, you just like teasing me and making me talk about it constantly..."
Zuko scoffed and bit onto the celery with a resounding crunch. Again, it didn't bother him that the Avatar was foolish enough to dip into 24×7 Crazy next to him... but it did bother him that SHE was with them... again, Zuko knew well he had to move on but still...
However, Ursa only looked relieved and she slowly settled back down once again, "I see... I... don't mind Nik. He's kind and caring. Patient, too. And you need someone who has quite a heavy control on his own temper..."
'Or someone like Mai who has a heavy control on YOUR temper...' Ursa added internally.
"Yeah, yeah," Azula chimed and rolled her eyes, "But we also discussed something else..." she eyed her mother again, "Something you only did with Nik."
Ursa once again found her recently achieved calm shatter as she looked at her daughter with a stunned expression only for her to huff about, "Well... I overheard you raising your doubts about us. Truly, it hurt me a lot seeing that even mother would doubt us, siblings, especially when what we did is already history for us."
Ursa gulped silently.
Of course, Azula wouldn't just accept and reveal that she and Zuko had been in control of the Blue Devil Rebellion for the past six years... that would give her mother a high ground to punish them. It was better to make her feel... restless by pointing out the things only the two of them knew to destroy that moral high ground.
It was only fair.
"Mom... we're the leaders of the Blue Devil... I mean, Azula and I took turns being the Blue Devil itself and... well, raided every facility that held prisoners that should have been released after the war." Zuko sighed as Ursa grew silent and blinked.
She was unable to process this at all!
"Oh, Nik helped us put things to an end so... yeah, while we have a lot of prisoners at the moment... we are not rebelling anymore..." Azula chortled and narrowed her eyes playfully.
