"Alright, everybody stand down, we'll do whatever you want." said the commander, his face stark pale. 

"What… are…you… doing." Grunted Azula forcing herself to say each word with much effort, she hasn't even recovered from the jab to the side of her head and the hit to her solar plexus yet. So she was already dizzy and out of breath when a knife was plunged into her throat. 

"Shhhh, let the grown-ups do the talking little girl, your part is done." said Levi, earning him an angry grunt from the fire nation princess which he returned with a smirk, "Although I got to admit, even adults would shit their pants in your situation so I'll give you props for holding on so strong."

"Anyhow, here is how it's going to be." said Levi as he looked at the commander with a smirk still on his face, "Me and my comrades are going to slowly move and board the wooden ship right over there. We'll discuss the little princess…situation when am near my ship"

"And you won't stop us is that right commander?." said Levi as he looked deeply into the commander's eyes, the smirk not leaving his face, and you can't blame him. He was really proud of himself right now turning an impossible situation into a victory.

Looking into the deep blue eyes staring at him the commander felt as if he was looking at a savage beast that wanted to devour him and not at a little kid.

“I can't trust you enough to do that, “ said the commander shaking his head before continuing, “But if you release the princess right now you have my word that you and your friends will get out of this in one piece.”

Hearing him Levi couldn't help but burst out laughing, “Do you take me for a fool commander, am sure you're smart enough to realize that you don't have the luxury to be making demands right now.”

Narrowing his eyes at him the commander seemed to finally concede as he said, "Sigh, alright your friends can board the ship but you and the princesses can't or else we will attack no matter the consequences." said the commander with a resolute look on his face that told levi there would be no further negotiations.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH..”

"SHUT UP." Azula tried to say something before being shouted at by none other than the commander himself, surprising everyone on the scene, even Azula, who had a knife to her throat seemed to forget about it for a split second due to the shock. 

Looking towards his soldiers the commander nodded giving them the order to let them pass. 

Holding closely to Azula, Levi slowly skirted his way towards their ship, the others all doing the same, keeping their back to each other and not trusting the fire nation soldiers completely. Soon enough everyone boarded the ship leaving only Levi behind.

"Release the princess and I can guarantee that you and your friends will walk out of this. I give you my word that we won't pursue you." said the commander, almost repeating what he said before.

"Heh, you don't seem to learn commander I am not some good-hearted fool who will believe anything said to him?." said Levi, almost feeling insulted at what the commander said.

"I'll give you a better deal, a deal that will benefit all parties involved, even the princess. How about that?"  said Levi catching everyone's attention 

"And what might that deal be "Asked the commander his face devoid of any emotion by this point. 

"If anything happens to the princess, Me and my friends will never see the end of it and will most likely end up dead with most of our tribesmen, isn't that right commander?.” asked Levi.

Making the commander raise his brows at him as he nodded ''That's right it's good that you know the consequences of your actions."

"Oh I know them all too well. I also know that if anything happened to her all of you will be as good as dead so there won't really be a difference between you and me is that right.” added Levi making the faces of the fire nation soldiers and the commander turn ugly. But he still didn't get it right, it was worse, if anything happens to the princess their families will also be implicated 

"Where are you getting at?" Asked the commander, obviously losing his patience, if his tone of voice was anything to go by.

"Be patient commander we are getting there, by the way, I didn't get your name." said Levi as he looked at the commander bringing shock to all those present.

Silence reigned in for a bit as the commander didn't answer and Levi wouldn't talk before knowing his name. 

"Sigh, my name is Ronan, Commander Ronan." answered Ronan with a tone of resignation in his voice.

“Good to meet you commander now moving back to our subject.” said Levi, making a lot of eyebrows twitch.

‘What was then the point of asking for his name if you're just going to call him commander.’ thought most of those present there.

Turning his head to the princess which she seemed to notice as she turned her eyes and glared at him hatefully, “How about all of you do a little favour for Princess Azula’s sake and let's not tell fire lord Ozai what happened here, you came too late and saw nothing.” said Levi, shocking all those present. That was the only idea he could come up with at the moment and he could only hope that it would work to avoid bringing trouble to his tribe. 

No one else could have come up with this plan except for him, as no one knows the fire lord's personality and the relationship between Azula and her father, but he did, and although not much was shown in the show he liked to believe that it was enough for him to make an accurate judgment.

Firelord Ozai wasn't a merciful person even to his own kids, and if there was one thing he didn't tolerate it was weakness and incompetency.

And so he was willing to make a bet that if Azula kept her mouth shut the other soldiers would definitely do the same.

‘It's either that or they would all be executed.’ thought Levi, not knowing how right he was as it would not implicate only them but their entire families.

 

Hearing his suggestion seemed to make everyone explode into a clamour, not tell fire lord ozai? Even the Southerner water tribe members seemed to think that Levi was way out of his mind, making them regret agreeing to let him handle the negotiations.

Only Azula seemed to calm down as she and Levi stared at each other, not many knew her relationship with her father, most only saw how he doted on her and loved her, and so a proposal like what Levi just said would sound crazy to anyone, how could the fire nation princess lie to her father. 

Only she knew that her father was far different from her than what appeared on the surface, if he knew what had happened here, she didn't dare imagine what might happen to her.

It would have been fine if she was caught by anyone else really, but Levi was just a kid barely older than her. If word of this reached her father she would be better off dead. 

It made her wonder why would Levi even suggest something like this, for a split second she even entertained the idea that he might know about her father's true personality before she pushed the idea out of her mind.

 

"Alright I agree" said Azula, shocking everyone, especially the fire nation soldiers and commander.

"See at least the princess still has a head on her shoulders," said Levi with a confident smirk on his face as if he had expected this all along. The truth is that he was feeling very relieved to hear that but he didn't show it.

"And how about the scare you put on her neck? How are we going to explain that?." Asked the commander with all the fire nation soldiers paying attention, yes it was a good plan if Azula really cooperated but how would she explain her injury? 

"Oh that's the easiest part." said Levi, answering the commander who widened his eyes as he saw the scene in front of him.

The ice knife held info Azula's throat melted turning into water that covered her wound, but she still couldn't counterattack even with the threat of the knife gone as Levi had a pretty tight grip around her neck.

Slowly the wound on her neck closed not even leaving a mark behind before the water turned back into an ice knife that Levi held into her throat again.

Azula as well as her allies were shocked, just like that?, but she didn't dare to resist even now, even though she hated to admit it he was indeed stronger than her and could take her down before she could escape.

"See?, just like new hehe." said Levi laughing, provoking the commander and Azula.

"Good, but how will you leave? I don't suppose that you trust us enough to just release her? 

“Well that's also quite easy actually.” Said Levi before turning towards his father and allies on the ship who were silent and observing nervously until now. 

"Dad, can you send some of the guys to sabotage their ship?” Asked Levi, earning a hakoda a few glances from their enemies.

‘So this is the father of this little bastard.’ their gazes seemed to say.

“What? This isn't what we agreed upon.” Retorted the commander after hearing Levi before hakoda could respond. 

“Relax.” said Levi, “Make sure it's not something serious Dad and that it's something minor that could be fixed after a few hours.”  

Nodding hakoda took some men with him and headed to the fire nation ship. Leaving Levi and the rest in awkward silence.

… 

… 

… 

"Nice weather today isn't it? " asked Levi while smiling at the commander as if they're old friends and getting ignored in the process. 

"Sheesh, would it hurt you to relax once in a while." said Levi with fake annoyance.

Before long Hakoda and the guys with him were back to their own ship and this is where things started to get a little intense. 

Levi knew that even though he had their word there was no guarantee that they wouldn't attack him as soon as he let go of Azula, his only option was then to face the combined assault of hundreds of elite fire nation soldiers something that even he didn't have the illusion of being able to against.

But he has already thought this through way before and he had a plan. 

Looking towards his father he nodded which his father understood. So ordering the water benders around they got into position and the southern water tribe ship began moving as Hakoda looked at his son alone on the metal prison with a worried expression. 

The only reason he wasn't going mad with worry was that he more or less knew his son really well during these last few years and he knew that he wouldn't do something dangerous without a plan, especially something so stupid that would risk his life, and he was right. 

"Well it was nice knowing you gentlemen." said Levi, nodding his head at the commanders and the fire nation soldiers, "Oh, and you too your royal Highness, how can I forget about you, I hope we meet again under better circumstances next time although I highly doubt that." said Levi thinking that the next time they'll meet will most likely be during the plot.

Azula could only grunt and look at him with a murderous look on her face promising pain and suffering.

'Well it's time for me to go, I just hope this works.' thought Levi as he felt inside of his body locating something, he still couldn't locate where it was exactly but it did matter he could activate it either way.

'Limit breaker.' 

Immediately Levi felt the world around him change, becoming slower, more vivid and detailed. 

He could hear better.

He could see better.

He could Smell better.

React faster.

Everything about him was enhanced as if he had broken past an unbreakable limit as if there was a barrier that was present with him his entire life, and he had gotten so used to it that he didn't realize it was even there was suddenly lifted.  

Levi couldn't help but savour the feeling for a while, forgetting where he was and what he was doing and just diving into that amazing feeling but sadly it couldn't last for long as he focused once again and steeled his will, even his focus and will power seemed to be stronger.

He could also feel the water on the ocean from even further distances away and he felt that he could just control it with a wave of his hand. 

The best thing about all of this was that he didn't seem to be overwhelmed by all the new sensations and feelings it all came naturally to him. Even his thinking speed seemed to have received a massive boost as not even a second had passed since he activated Limit breaker.

‘This is so much more than a boost in states, it's like I ascended into a whole new state of existence.’ thought Levi.

And like always the system notifications came not long after.

[Limit breaker level 1 activated: Everything about host is enhanced] 

[Warning: The user is advised to stop using this power as soon as possible, the longer it is activated the worse the side effects will be later.] 

Pushing away the notifications and taking a deep breath in he exhaled and threw Azula by the clothes at the commander.

Of course he held back he didn't know how strong he was and he didn't want to risk killing her after all the trouble he went through, but it seemed that he had still underestimated his new strength as she flew like a cannonball taking down the commander with her and pushing him all the way back, thankfully none of them appeared to be hurt. 

He could see the soldiers around him had finally started moving after he let go of Azula, still in slow motion.

His initial plan was to just use limit breaker to get as much of an advantage as he could and escape, but seeing how much of an overpowered power it really was he had other plans. 

The Fire Nation soldiers had already launched fireballs and fire attacks on him at this point, he could see them slowly flying forward and see Azula and the commander getting back up a little distance away.

'Alright let's have just a little bit of fun before I go away. What's the worst that could happen?.’
