435. French Fries for Love

The man who attacked them was an assassin from Fire Nation. He had somehow developed an ability called combustion bending.

Combustion-bending was a form of telekinetic firebending. It consists of the ability to channel chi through the forehead, often marked by an intricate third-eye tattoo, superheating the surrounding air and producing a beam of explosive energy capable of immense damage, both in short and long-range.

Unlike conventional firebending, which produces a flame from the body, the technique instead creates a powerful beam that explodes upon contact with a solid surface.

Bunpuku simply and peacefully blocked his chi paths, leaving him unable to bend anymore.

"Just balding your head doesn't make you a saint. You also need to follow the lifestyle." Bunpuku said.

"Absolutely right," Alexander added and walked up to them. He looked at the fire bender kneeling on the ground. His Chi was blocked and he was continuously trying to use it which caused immense pain in his body."

Alexander checked his sins first and then shook his head in disappointment, "This man can never reach heaven even if he repented for the rest of his life. He has killed 98 children by now, all were assassinated for political reasons."

Alexander grabbed him by his collar and lifted him in the air. He walked over to the edge of the floor, beyond which was a very deep ravine.

The man finally started showing signs of fear but Alexander didn't show him mercy, "Don't look at me like that. I bet all those kids looked at you for mercy too."

He then released his grip. The man fell with loud screams. Alexander looked back and saw everyone was staring at him.

"Sometimes, showing mercy to a criminal is an injustice to those he has harmed. One holding a position of power can never be all-forgiving," he said.

"But, the monks at the air temple taught me to never kill and try to solve things using my mind and tactics. I should only use force to defend." Aang argued.

"Those are good morals, Aang. But look around you. This whole place was destroyed by people. If I had not come and saved everyone then things unimaginable would have happened to all the women living here.

"The idea of non-violence is good when the world knows restraint when kingdoms fear war and do not advocate it. Showing your other cheek when someone slaps is only good until they are slapping, but when they try to burn you or your loved ones, that is when non-violence ends and justice begins. Think about this, Aang, think about all the things you've seen till now. Try to create your own narrative instead of following others." Alexander replied.

"But what about all the things I have been taught until now?" Aang asked with a conflicted look on his face. It seems he had started doubting Alexander now. The things he was taught were suddenly being told to be invalid. It was hard to accept.

Alexander calmly looked at him. He understood what was going on in his mind, "You are the Avatar, little one, you are supposed to enlighten other's path and bring peace. No one can make decisions for the Avatar, not even me. I, the dragons who taught you Firebending, your teachers in air temple, we were all just advisors. The final decision always lies in you."

Saying that, Alexander left Aang to talk with his fellow airbenders. Maybe that would give him some clue on what to do.

...

In Iroh's Tea shop in Ba Sing Se.

*Bells*

It signifies that a new customer came in. Azula lifted her head to see who it was and it turned out to be her favorite customer.

Chomei and Dobby followed her gaze.

"You like him? Do you want to kissy him as brother Leo does with Nat?" Chomei innocently asked.

Azula got flustered and it was the first time anyone had seen such an expression on her face. "Ah, what are you saying, I am Princess Azula. I don't do that."

"Yup, you're definitely love-struck. But don't chase after him, he's too dense and is only interested in cabbage, dried seaweed, and games," Dobby advised her.

But she ignored and happily went to talk to the bald guy, "What can I get you?"

Saitama looked at her in disappointment, "Ah, it's okay, I was leaving, you guys don't have french fries."

"French fries? What is that?" Azula asked, noting down her crush's favorite food.

"Ah, it is potatoes cut into rectangular slices, dipped in flavorful batter, and then fried," Saitama explained and got up to leave.

"WAIT! W-We sell it, just wait a minute," she claimed and ran into the kitchen.

Saitama just sat back down and drank the tea for the time being.

Dobby then asked Ty Lee near the counter, "Hey, why is she acting like this?"

"Oh, well, something happened yesterday. Azula and I were just roaming around the city when we saw him. Initially, Azula was disgusted by him. She said he looks so plain and weak. She wondered why he was with the Old Man. So, she challenged him to a fight." Ty Lee recited the whole ordeal.

"Let me guess, she got defeated miserably," Dobby said.

"Oh, it was much more than that. Saitama didn't even move. He just extinguished her blue flames by blowing at them. Just his blow was strong enough to throw her a few feet away.

"You know what Azula is like. She got angry and started firing her lightning at Saitama, but he was still unfazed. After a while she was so tired that she fell down, her hair was a mess.

"Then Saitama walked to her and patted her shoulder and said, 'Don't be sad that you are not stronger, be happy because you know you can get stronger. There's no limit,'

"Saitama then punched towards the sky so hard that it sounded like the sky would fall at any moment. Then to our shock, all the clouds in the sky disappeared due to the punch.

"Then I saw it. The look on her face was the same as Mai's when she sees Zuko. She was lovestruck." Ty Lee ended her long narration.

"So it was he who made that loud sound yesterday," Dobby muttered.

"Then, does this mean she wants Kissy?" Chomei asked.

Ty Lee nodded with a grin, "Yes, Kissy, and much more."

Chomei tilted his head in confusion, "What's more than a kissy?... ten kissies?"

Dobby immediately agreed and said laughingly, "Yes, Chomei, it is ten kisses."

~*Sigh* Compared to his brothers, he is really too innocent.~ Dobby thought.

Soon Azula came out of the kitchen with a plate full of real french fries. She took them to Saitama and waited for him to eat.

*Crunch*

"Ah, these are a bit different but tasty nonetheless." He exclaimed.

Azula gleefully smiled and returned to the counter.

"How many potatoes did you waste for making them?" Dobby asked.

"There are only three left." She replied.

Ty Lee, who was drinking tea, spat it out, "What? But there were one hundred kilos of them,"

"I am Fire Nation's princess, I will pay for it." Azula haughtily replied. It seems she was only kind when it came to Saitama.

"My patient wants kissy, I will help you now, follow me," Chomei suddenly spoke.

He flew to Saitama who was happily eating. "Tama brother, give kissy, no, ten kisses to my patient," he blurted.

*Cough*

"What?" Saitama had question marks all over his face.

...

Back at the Western Air Temple,

In the real world, so much time had passed, but in Alexander's pocket dimension, only the time he spent physically passed. So, Aang still knew many of the airbenders because they had not aged much.

"Some of us were not even at the air temple at that time and yet we were hunted down by them. In fact, the Fire Nation created sanctuaries filled with Air Nomad artifacts to lure Airbenders to them. Many did fall into this trap. But then grandpa came and took us all away." One of the surviving Airbender children told Aang.

"Don't worry, I-I will end this war soon. I have already mastered the four elements, now we just need to wait for the day of the black sun which is in a week." Aang assured them. He had said it but he was not so sure himself. He was wondering what was he supposed to do to Ozai when he catches him.

Meanwhile, Alexander and Iroh were drinking tea with Bunpuku because he didn't drink alcohol.

"Haha, my friend, you are what I imagined a saint to be. So calm and peaceful," Iroh praised Bunpuku.

"All because of the guidance of Spirit God," Bunpuku replied.

~When did I give him guidance?~ Alexander confusedly asked himself.
