Marvel: Stark Tower Dungeon

Arthur flew toward the resort village.

He tried to remember the plot that was going to happen in this village.

This resort village was a luxurious recreational center located on the Su Oku River.

It was near the previously occupied western coast of the Earth Kingdom. 

This village was originally a retreat for Earth Kingdom monks but it fell under Fire Nation control during the Hundred Year War.

After being forced to flee the Fire Nation and spend three weeks adrift on a simple raft. 

Zuko and his uncle, General Iroh, finally reached a luxurious village resort.

Upon arriving at the resort, Zuko and Iroh were able to relax and unwind, indulging in luxurious spas and treatments. 

During their stay, Azula tracked them down to the village, seeking to arrest them as traitors of the Fire Nation. 

Despite her initial intentions, Azula's visit ultimately led to a turning point for Zuko. 

She convinced him that their father, Fire Lord Ozai, now valued his family and wished for Zuko and Iroh to return home.

However, it was all a lie.

Iroh sensed deception and suspected Azula's true intentions. 

When one of Azula's guards accidentally lets slip that they were prisoners, Iroh and Zuko take advantage of the situation and escape.

And that was all he could remember about the plot.

"I should go and visit them first. Iroh and Zuko will be my greatest ally when I want to ascend to the throne."

Arthur closed his eyes and tried to sense the two of them. 

He had never met the two of them before, but he was sure that he could sense them out of all the people here.

Arthur could sense Iroh easily and Iroh could also sense him.

"Iroh has really become a spirit. My childhood mystery has been unveiled."

Arthur had long wanted to know if Iroh had become a spirit or not, and now he got the answer.

Iroh became a spirit, if he wanted to be the Fire Lord, he could have Agni Kai with Ozai and take the throne from him if he wanted to.

However, from what he knew about Iroh, he no longer wanted to be bound by worldly matters. 

He had become one with nature. Whatever happened in the world had nothing to do with him.

The reason he was still around was because he still cared about Zuko and wanted to help him escape his own fate.

Arthur flew directly to a room where the two of them stayed.

He really wanted to meet Iroh very much. 

He was one of his favorite characters in the series.

…

Iroh stopped talking to Zuko who was now fuming at the thought of being abandoned by his father.

He could sense beings that were far greater than even Raava and Vaatu approaching them at great speed.

Zuko, who heard nothing out of Iroh and saw how serious he was, knew immediately that something was wrong.

"Uncle, why are you suddenly quiet? Is there something wrong?"

Zuko asked with concern. He knew that his uncle was very strong. 

If he was quiet like this and had a serious expression, the situation that was about to happen would definitely be very dangerous.

"I don't know if whatevers or whoever that is about to appear before us has good intentions or bad intentions." 

Iroh said and looked at the door to their room.

"If they have good intentions, we will be safe and be blessed by great spirits. But if they have bad intentions, even I can't protect you, Zuko."

Zuko was left speechless by his statement. 

This was the first time he had seen his uncle so serious. 

He looked towards the entrance of the room.

He thought that something bad was going to happen, like someone breaking through the door, but what he met was the sound of knocking on the door.

Iroh sighed in relief before speaking to him.

"It seems like they come with good intentions. Zuko, go open the door."

Iroh resumed making his tea. 

It seemed that he had to make some tea for important guests as well.

Zuko opened the door and was surprised to see someone his age there.

He thought that he would be faced with someone who looked dangerous, not a pretty boy like this.

"That's rough buddy. What happened to your hair?"

Arthur smirked and said to him. He knew why his head was shaved like that.

Zuko's hair was shaved except for his ponytail as a mark of shame and exile after his banishment from the Fire Nation. 

This was seen as a symbol of his dishonorable defeat and separation from his family and culture.

Zuko's anger ignited when he heard that and he attacked him without thinking of the consequences.

"Wow, you are like your sister in this regard. Come on, you can be better than this."

Arthur stopped his fire and then poke him on the chest.

Zuko was sent flying backward with just one finger.

Zuko couldn't bend fire at will at all. It was like someone controlled the fire so he could not bend it.

Zuko looked at Arthur in surprise. He stood up and prepared to fight again.

However, before he could retaliate, Iroh appeared and told him to calm down.

"Anger is not wrong, but you have to know when to use it. Anger can be a powerful motivator, only if you can control it."

Arthur spoke to Zuko and Iroh nodded his head.

"That's a wise saying. I agree."

Iroh prepared tea for three people, but when he saw that Arthur was alone, he felt two other great beings inside him. 

He knew immediately that Arthur was like the avatar, but he had two other great beings inside of him.

Avatar became a joke if they were to be in front of this young man.

Intriguing Iroh didn't say anything about the two great beings inside of the young man.

He knew that the well-looking young man in front of him was also a great being as well.

Zuko stood no chance of winning against him. 

He was spared because the great being didn't have a reason to end him.

Even he himself knew only defeat in his presence. 

He was sure even Raava and Vaatu could not stand tall in front of the great beings either.

"Please, come inside. I have prepared tea for you." said Iroh with respect and peacefulness.

His gentle demeanor really suits himself the most. And Arthur felt like complying to his request.

He walked inside the room and sat on the seat near the beautifully crafted wooden tea table. 

The tea aromatic scent calmed him down even though he was already relaxed enough.

Iroh brewing skill was something that was out of the norm. It was on a spiritual level.

"I do not know much about tea ceremonies. Please enlighten me." peacefulness took over, Arthur said with a smile.

Iroh nodded and then began to explain how the tea ceremonies worked.

Zuko was there but said nothing. He would observe the young man who defeated him easily.

Arthur enjoyed his teaching and memorized it. 

Maybe one day he could make use of it. Future was unknown to him. 

This tea making ceremony might help him when needed.

"So, could you tell us the real purpose for such a being as great as you come to our visit?" could not hold curiosity any longer, Iroh asked while pouring tea for him.

There was nothing for him to hide in the first place, Arthur began to explain why he had come to them.

"Azula will come and find you two and she will lie to Zuko about Ozai wanting him back because he changed his mind and values family over tradition. But you should know that it was completely bullshit. So I want you two to be prepared for what is about to come." drinking the tea, Arthur said directly.

After drinking the tea, Arthur added, "I will not help you two as I am with her on this mission." 

Iroh and Zuko were completely silent. 

That meant Azula had someone who could arrest them easily but why did he come to tell them that.

"You don't want us to be arrested." unexpectedly, Zuko was the one who spoke.

Arthur nodded.

"Your mind is sharp. You just have to control your anger and you will find that you can become much more than you are now." wise words should be shared, Arthur spoke while drinking yet another tea.

He finished drinking three portions of tea, showing respect to Iroh who had prepared tea for the three of them.

Even though Great Red and Ophis could not drink tea directly, they could drink them spiritually.

They were satisfied with Iroh and said that they didn't mind if he wanted to use a dragon as his title name.

"I will go for now, Azula will come and find you today. Please escape using any means necessary." said while magically disappeared.

He was completely gone when he finished his sentence.

Iroh and Zuko had never seen this kind of magical phenomenon before.

Zuko couldn't help but ask his uncle about the young man. 

His uncle showed many hints that he knew of the young man.

He was confident that he might not be a normal human. 

Staying with his uncle made him realize many mystical things about the world.

"I can't tell you because I am not sure myself. I will have to ask my friend about him." Iroh resumed drinking his tea and waited for Azula to arrive.

"You must prepare yourself. You must not lose yourself when facing your sister." warned, Iroh.

Zuko nodded and calmed himself. 

Getting beaten by Arthur made his mind clear.

All of this time he just needed a beating and scolding then wise words from someone his age for him to be motivated enough and let go of the past for a little bit.

He would face his sister and be the one who came out on top.

…

Waiting impatiently, Azula complained about how late her personal bodyguard was.

"Why he isn't come back yet?" a hint of anxiety in her voice.

She didn't think she would be worried for someone this much.

Ty Lee heard that and knew it wasn't anxiety for him might fail the scouting mission but anxiety about him might not return to her.

She would pick mission failure over him disappearing on her.

Mission could be done again but losing him meant something inside her was gone forever.

"Relax! He is super strong. Nothing will go wrong believe me!" consoling her was hard but there was progress there.

Azula wasn't as hard and cold as she used to be.

Arthur had softened her considerably during the night they stayed together.

Mai observed Azula as usual. She had to admit that Arthur really worked on miracles.

How could he soften such a psycho this much?

'I need to keep a closer look.' decided, Mai would try to be closer to them as well.

Landing on the dock, Arthur met with the girls who were waiting for him.

Azula said nothing and did nothing when she noticed his landing near her. 

She looked toward the ocean like there was something interesting there.

She would never show her relief that could be misunderstood for weakness to her prey lest he would think she was boring and unattractive.

Unlike the ever energetic and lovable Ty Lee. She would never think anything that deep.

If she liked him she would just shower him with affection.

She jumped at him and showed her affection directly.

"You're back! What took you so long?" whining like she was his girlfriend.

Arthur scratched his head and smiled at her.

'Why is she acting like my girlfriend but I don't feel bad at all.'

She was too cute for him to reject her advances.

Talking about cuteness, the blue haired oni on the first floor of the dungeon felt instinctively threatened.

She really missed Arthur's presence but her big sister needed her right now.

Rem needed to up her game otherwise she might lose him. 

She must know how to utilize her cuteness better if she wants to keep his attention on her.

"Sorry for coming back this late. but I have something to tell Azula." said Arthur as he reported Zuko's and Iroh's whereabouts to Azula.

"You did well, Arts." pretending to be disinterested and complimenting him like she usually does to her subordinate. 

Azula hid her emotion well. if it wasn't for his dragon sense. He wouldn't know what was inside her head.

"We will dock at the port. Prepare everything. Failure is not an option." said confidently and unyieldingly to her subordinates. 

Azula thought with Arthur's help, dealing with Iroh when things went awry might be possible. 

Unknown to her that Arthur would not help her in this mission. 

He had prepared something that would make things more interesting.

'Can you hear me, Sylvie.' connecting to his precious.

'Yes, Papa. What is it?' cutely said, his little dragon daughter.

'I have something to ask of you. Can you help papa for abit.'

'Yes! Sylvie wants to help papa!'

Sylvie promised to help him unconditionally. 

What a lovely girl she was.

'Thank you Sylvie.' said happily, Arthur would reward her with whatever she wanted later.

An hour passed by quickly, Azula and Ty Lee were standing beside Arthur while the battleship was docking at the port.

Mai was with them but she felt like an outsider.

She tried to make herself closer to them but it was all in vain.

'It is harder than I thought' Mai narrowed her eyes and looked at Arthur.

He was really good at managing both of them.

He would end up with both of them at this point.

"Princess, everything is ready," said the newly appointed captain Koh.

He smiled at Arthur and secretly gave him thumbs up. 

Who would have thought that he would be appointed to a very high position this quick.

Arthur nodded back. He then followed Azula toward where Iroh and Zuko were.

Everything went according to the plot but this time Zuko knew what he needed to do.

Both him and Iroh were surrounded by Azula and her soldiers.

'I need to stay calm and don't let my anger be the best of me…'

Zuko wanted to fight with Azula but he knew it wasn't the right time yet.

Iroh fought with the elite soldiers and he beat them easily.

Seeing that they were about to escape. Azula shouted toward Arthur.

"Arts, we must stop them together! Don't let them escape!" exclaimed demandingly. Azula made her move quickly toward Iroh.

Arthur didn't follow her but waited for something to happen.

And at that very moment when Azula was about to confront Iroh and Zuko something unimaginable happened.

The mist took over the whole Su Oku river. This mist was created by Hanbei from faraway.

She had come with Sylvie in order to make Arthur's plan become more epic.

There had never been such a phenomenon in this place before.

Dragon's roar echoed through the land and sky.

Fear was bestowed upon everyone.

Azula and everyone stopped in their tracks and looked toward a certain direction. 

They saw a huge shadow of something looking at them menacingly through the mist.

"W—What is that?" all of the elite soldiers felt true fear coming out from their very own souls. 

They couldn't move their bodies at all.

Even Azula felt afraid when facing such a mythical creature.

Only Iroh knew that it was the shadow of a dragon and it was connected to Arthur.

'So he and the other two great beings are dragons…'

Iroh knew their identities and felt even more respect for them.

Dragons were beings that could be compared to god. Don't even mention spirits.

And when everyone was falling into despair. Someone came to their rescue. 

"Don't worry everyone because I am here!" said in an All Might's way. 

Arthur showed himself in a grand way. He threw himself at the white dragon as if he wanted to sacrifice himself.

"No, Arts!" shouted panickingly. 

Azula moved through fear with her sheer will. She wanted to follow Arthur but was stopped by Mai.

She also felt fear but suddenly she could move her body. It was like someone wanted her to stop Azula.

Ty Lee was too afraid to move her body. 

And she could only helplessly look at the man who gained her affection, throwing his life away.

"No, please… Don't go!" Ty Lee tried to move her legs but failed miserably.

Arthur pretended to fight with Sylvie a little bit. Iroh and Zuko used this chance and ran away.

Their fighting might look normal to them but to the bystander. It was so intense.

This was the difference in their levels.
