[FINE]

[deflecting her fire, sending more at her with a kick]

[gosh that's so unique, possibly because Azula is doing the same thing with the kick and deflection--meeting his attack with her blue fire right between them]

[sending out fireball after fireball, trying to gain any ground he can]

[and isn't it amazing how every fireball collides with one of Azula's own, goading you to attack more and push forward]

[starting to put more force behind his attacks, pushing instead of just matching her]

[Azula takes a step back, still matching the motion of each of his attacks but with every attack he pushes she gives a little more, skidding back towards the mirror]

[as long as he has the advantage he's going to keep pushing her back as much as he can, putting more power behind every successive attack]

[and in that last blow where he's putting everything into it there's suddenly no more resistance and the shattering sound of a mirror as Azula's body tumbles through it]

[stops short]

[wow that's a lot of glass shards huh? Through the frame you can see Azula kneeling on the ground, her head bowed low and her hair falling out of its topknot and around her shoulders]

[approaching slowly, warily]

Azula...?

[she's not getting up, and the closer you get the more details stand out in the dark, like the face she has her hands curled up inside her kneeling form and her shoulders are trembling]

[hesitates, and uncurls his fists, though his posture stays tense]

[Looks like it's taking all her concentration just to keep herself on her knees. You can hear the heavy raspy breathing...which turns into sobs, or is that hysterical pained laughter?]

Haha...hahahahah...I didn't think you had it in you, brother.

[... now it's less okay]

I didn't... want this...

Why not? Didn't you say it would be better for everyone if I was gone? Didn't you make a choice?

[stands up on unsteady legs and that one hand that was covering her face goes to push her bangs back to reveal an ugly, lurid scar on her right eye that looks juuuuuuuuuust like the one Ozai gave Zuko]

What's the matter, Zuzu? Can't you finish what you started?

[staggers back a step]

[that whispered breathing turns into a full out maniacal laugh (TM) as she grips the frame of the mirror and steps through it]

Guess we know where the family resemblance comes from...

[breathing hard and fast, not moving, just staring]

I had to, you said so...

Because it's the only way, isn't it?! You might be good enough to stop me now, brother, but you'll never be good enough to save me!

[now he's the one shaking, eyes never leaving that scar]

[taking another slow step forward, not quite smiling but her voice dropping down from the manic shouting to a whisper]

...you can't save me. But you didn't even try...

It was the only way! Everyone says so... you said so...

You still don't get it, Zuzu? We're inside your mind...

[touches the scarred part of her face with a look almost like surprise]

...I am you.
