Journey to Ba Sing Se

The moment June enters the room, she's grabbed and pushed up against the nearest wall. She immediately begins to struggle of course, but her every attempt to free herself is met with an equal counter-action that keeps her trapped and pinned. Her arms end up behind her back, her blind headbutt hits nothing but air, her feet are forced apart and locked into place.

She's well and truly trapped, but thankfully, a moment later she finds out that that's not such a bad thing, given the circumstances.

"Hello June."

Immediately recognizing the Fire Lord's voice, the voice of her beloved master, the bounty hunter's attempts to escape immediately fall apart as she stops all resistance and relaxes into his hold. Once she's done so, one of Zuko's hands comes around to her chest and he casually gropes her through her leather armor, causing June to moan with wanton delight as she wiggles with need in her master's grasp. Now though, her wiggling isn't to escape, it's to entice. Her shapely derriere grinds into Zuko's crotch from behind, and she eagerly spreads her legs apart of her own volition now, hoping to get some loving.

"… I applaud your enthusiasm my dear, but work before business, yes?"

Zuko pulls his hand back and June whines a little in disappointment before ultimately turning around to face him. Still pouting, the smoking hot bounty hunter reaches into her side pouch and pulls out a folded set of papers a moment later, handing them over to the disguised young Fire Lord. She had to admit, he looked positively rugged right now, with his hair grown wild and the dust and dirt of his travels evident across his features.

Looking over the papers, Zuko slowly nods, checking each and every one of them before finally tucking them away. June didn't take offense to this. She respected that her master only trusted what he saw with his own eyes. If he'd had blind faith in her or anyone else for the matter, she might very well have been disappointed in him. Being able to prove her loyalty, her love, her devotion… it made it all the better.

"You did well, June. Now, kneel."

The bounty hunter immediately sinks to her knees before Zuko, licking her lips as she reaches out and tugs at the waistband of his pants, pulling them down until his massive cock finally springs free, smacking her across the face. She's not at all upset by this, even cooing as she rubs her cheek into Zuko's meaty, throbbing member. Reaching up, June grabs hold of the big shaft of her Master's amazing prick and strokes it up and down for a few moments as she looks up at him with a lewd smile on her face.

"Tell me how things are going. I've been looking forward to your report."

June's eyelashes flutter and her tone is breathless as she answers.

"Mm, of course Master."

What follows is a detailed report of all that June has been up to and all that she's seen since they last met. Combined, of course, with an enthusiastic handjob and plenty of licking and slurping of Zuko's cock. She details her infiltration of Ba Sing Se and the information she had laid claim to there while she was getting his papers. She tells him the state of the path that will take him to the Walled City, and even informs him of his army's own efforts in the region and how things are going on the ground level.

As usual, June proves to be a fountain of information, a well-spring of knowledge. But Zuko is young and perhaps a bit impatient, so there comes a point when he cuts the bounty hunter off, taking hold of her top-knot and forcing his cock into her mouth.

"We'll continue your report in a moment…"

"Gagkh! Gagkh! Gagkh!"

Zuko very quickly begins to piston away into June's throat, using his slutty little bounty hunter toy like the cock-sleeve she is, pounding away at her face hole and taking his pleasure from her mouth. To her credit, June is eager to please and all too willing to suck every last inch of her master's dick. As he fills her mouth and throat, she swirls her tongue along the underside of his pistoning prick, slurping even as she chokes on his member, even as he forces himself deeper and deeper into her gullet.

Eventually, Zuko buries June's face in his crotch, her nose pressed to the base of his cock and her chin grinding into his churning balls as she drools all over them. All the while though, June's eyes are on Zuko's face, never flinching, not even as they water, not even as the involuntary tears fall. Zuko enjoys this. He luxuriates in the absolute obedience that his pet bounty hunter shows him. She took a little while to break to be sure, but if you want something done, you fucking do it right.

Zuko had, and it was obvious that June knew her place, that she understood where she belonged. Her throat convulses and spasms around his cock until he finally pulls her back and lets her breathe for a moment. Then, it's right back down his dick as he pistons in and out of her throat over and over and over again. Until finally, Zuko lets out a loud groan and begins to unload, right then and there.

No warning, no hesitation. A toy like June doesn't need either. Zuko cums, and though she can't handle all of it, the bounty hunter doesn't resist as his seed explodes into her throat and comes back up only to blossom out of her nostrils and the sides of her mouth, making a mess of the lower half of her face even after Zuko pulls out. June gurgles for a moment when that happens, and Zuko smiles as he pats her cheeks with his dick, giving them soft, wet slaps as she slowly recovers.

Eventually, she manages to swallow what's in her mouth and lick up the remnants around her lips. Still staring up at him, never breaking eye contact, June pants, her chest heaving as she reaches up and slowly begins to unzip her leather vest. She pulls it off and exposes her breasts to him, reaching up and groping the full jugs for a moment before finally smiling a wicked, knowing smile.

"Master… I only have one thing left to report."

Zuko lifts an eyebrow at that, curious what she's got to say that gives her leave to be so dramatic. Licking her full, pouty lips again, something Zuko only belatedly recognizes as nervousness, June drops the bombshell.

"I'm pregnant, Master. I'm pregnant with your child."

The young Fire Lord's eyes widen slightly at that, and then a big, grand smile splits across his face. His cock twitches too, and the next thing June knows, she's up on her feet and pressed face-first into the wall of the small abode once more, as her master plunges his cock into her from behind, so immensely turned on by the news that he just has to rail into her, he just has to plow her silly.

June doesn't mind one bit, moaning like a lovestruck whorish slut as her eyes go crossed and her tongue slips out from between open lips to stay. Meanwhile, Zuko is holding her by the hips, but he quickly moves his hands up to her exposed tits, grabbing and squeezing them, perhaps imagining them fuller and leaking breast milk. June pushes her hips back into his every thrust, moaning all the while, even as Zuko leans in and speaks to her.

"I'm pleased, June. I'm so very pleased. Do you want to know what you'll be doing once the war is over and peace is achieved?"

June shudders beneath Zuko's rough ministrations, thoroughly enjoying them all as she nods her head with a moan.

"I'll announce you as my Royal Pet at one of the celebration feasts. You'll wear a collar and crawl on a leash where ever you go with me, or else I'll have you chained up to my throne or bed like the darling trophy you are. When you're not with me, you will live to serve and protect the Royal Family, when you're not hunting your enemies. Your children will follow in your footsteps, and want for nothing, so long as they are as obedient as their mother."

Zuko pauses briefly, taking in a breath as he slides out of her and then thrusts in deep again before continuing.

"If the babe is a girl, when she comes of age you will witness as I breed her, as I give you your first grandchild. However, if the babe is a boy, then I will watch as he breeds you, his own mother. You would be his first woman, and you would be glad to teach him love and sex, wouldn't you?"

It's deliciously perverse, and such awe-inspiring debauchery that all June can do is continue to nod, moaning all the while, climaxing around Zuko's pistoning prick again and again and again until finally, he cums inside of her once more, pumping her full of his seed and coating her insides with the white, sticky substance. As he pulls out of the pregnant bounty hunter, June twitches and shakes, panting heavily and still moaning.

For a moment, Zuko cocks his head at her, seeming to study her. Then, he grins.

"Go downstairs and whore yourself out to the rest of the Tavern's patrons my dear. You can join me in bed once you're done and have gotten cleaned up. Tomorrow morning, you're going to show me to that Sandbender Tribe you spoke of."

With that, he walks away. June slowly gets ahold of herself and looks over at her master, wanting to go to him, wanting to be with him. But the fuck toy has her orders, and the once-prideful female bounty hunter wouldn't dare disobey the Fire Lord. Slowly, she makes her way out of the room and down the stairs, to the tavern proper. With her tits and cunt still on full display, cum across her face and leaking from her pussy, she immediately draws eyes as she smiles seductively, moving to the nearest table and putting a foot up on a chair to show off her body.

"… Come and get it boys. If you've got the coin, I'm all yours."

Needless to say, there's a bit of a stampede as patrons get to their feet and rush over. There's so much demand for June's body that the barkeeper doesn't dare stop her from whoring herself out in his tavern for fear of starting a riot or inciting a mob. Instead, he's forced to let it happen… though June makes sure to give him a free blow to make up for it, before she eventually does get to head to bed for the night, once she's taken a long bath of course.

Curling up close to her master, June smiles happily as he wraps an arm around her and pets her hair and then her back. She feels safe and secure in his arms and given the rarity of getting him all to herself, the bounty hunter enjoys every last moment of it, even as she finally falls to slumber.

-x-X-x-

"So, June tells me your name is Ghashiun. That true?"

It's the next day, and Zuko has left the Misty Palm Oasis behind with his pet bounty hunter leading him into the desert itself. He's not too worried, of course. June wouldn't betray him, and Zuko has ways of getting out of the desert if it becomes necessary. Regardless, after about an hour's trek, they eventually find themselves meeting with a single young man waiting atop a sand dune. The man is covered in cloth, and very clearly a permanent resident of the Si Wong Desert. He's also likely one of the Sandbenders that June had told him about, making the young man and his tribe of GREAT interest to Zuko.

"… Yeah, it's true. The lady there told me you'd want to meet with me. That you might have a proposition or something for me."

Zuko smiles slightly.

"I might, yes. It all depends on you. I've heard your current circumstances are… less than stellar. Despite being the son of the tribe's chieftain, you're currently not in good standing with your tribe OR your mother, is that correct?"

Ghashiun's jaw clenches at that. His arms were already crossed before, but now Zuko can see that the other young man is gripping tightly at his forearms, his fingers digging in as he grits his teeth. It looks like June's information is correct, at least so far. Zuko is pleased, because if everything he's heard is true, this will be child's play.

"Please, I'm not trying to attack you. I merely wish to make sure I fully understand the current state of affairs. You stole the Avatar's flying bison, is that correct? Sold it to traders who probably took it to Ba Sing Se, yes?"

"… Yes."

Zuko smiles and nods.

"And when the Avatar found out, she was none-too-pleased, I imagine. To hear it from my lovely lady friend here, your tribe lost most of your sand-sailers to the Avatar's rage. In the end, you and yours had to flee, and your mother still hasn't quite forgiven you… nor has the rest of the tribe, which may never forgive you."

"I didn't hear a question that time."

Laughing lightly, the young Fire Lord in disguise shrugs and shakes his head.

"No, you did not. But your lack of denial tells me I didn't need to ask, I already seem to have the facts well in hand. Ghashiun… your tribe is treating you quite poorly for something that is not truly your fault. You were simply looking to improve the quality of life for your entire tribe by taking what the desert had given you and selling it. A flying bison would certainly be worth quite a lot of coin, now wouldn't it? Is it truly your fault that this one in particular turned out to belong to the Avatar herself?"

Ghashiun's confrontational, aggressive stance falters somewhat, and his gritted teeth and clenched jaw relax as his brow furrows in confusion.

"… No… no it wasn't."

Zuko's smile only continues to grow as he spreads his hands wide. Suddenly, they're alight with fire. Ghashiun's eyes widen and he takes a step back, even as Zuko takes a step forward.

"Cards on the table, my dear sandbending friend. I am an envoy sent by the Fire Lord himself, fully empowered to act in his name. My agent here has marked you as a person of interest in our glorious, illustrious Fire Lord's plans. His latest endeavor is far reaching, and you have a chance to be part of something great, Ghashiun of the Sand Tribe."

Luckily for Zuko, the Sandbenders had never really had to deal with the Fire Nation all that much. Despite there being a raging hundred-year war around them for the past century, they lived in a desert. No one fought over a desert. So, rather than being fully prejudiced against the Fire nation and thus firebenders in general, Ghashiun was simply… wary. And from the look on his face, Zuko could tell he was also very intrigued.

"And what's that? What could the Fire Lord want with little ole me, out here in my desert?"

Chuckling, Zuko lets the flames die out and brings his hands back down to his sides.

"Quite simple, friend. The Fire Lord is always on the look out for new types of bending. Unlike his father and grandfather, Fire Lord Zuko does not see this war as a chance to subjugate the world under the Fire Nation's rule. He sees it as a chance to unite the peoples of this world under his leadership. It is his intention to create an Empire in which all will be equal. To that end, it is his desire to build lasting… relationships with other benders. Be they water, or earth… or even sand, as your tribe has proven so capable of."

Ghashiun furrows his brow as he processes this, taking in Zuko's words and mulling them over in his head.

"Uh huh… and what's in it for me, exactly? Hell, you KNOW I'm on my mom's shit-list. What use even am I to the Fire Lord at this stage? I ain't leaving my tribe behind. No matter how much they hate me."

Despite his declaration, Zuko can tell that Ghashiun isn't entirely truthful in that moment. There is a limit, an asking price that would see the young sandbender abandoning the desert and eagerly moving to the Palace. Hell, given the way Ghashiun kept glancing June's way, it could be as simple as letting him fuck her, something Zuko would probably do anyways once Ghashiun was under his control.

But that wasn't what Zuko wanted either. He didn't want to abscond with one sandbender… he wanted ALL of them.

"There is a chance here. You did not steal the bison alone, now did you?"

"… No?"

"No, you did not. You had help… because there are others in your tribe who feel the same way you do, who feel stifled by the restrictions put upon you by the Chieftain, your own mother. Which means, if you were to challenge your mother's leadership, if you were to twist things around to make her look weak for not taking the Avatar on directly… you could duel her for leadership of your tribe."

As Zuko speaks, Ghashiun is clearly listening, slowly nodding along at the idea. But at the end, the young man frowns, blushing a bit as he averts his gaze, looking away.

"I… am not sure I could win."

Zuko smiles at that and snaps his fingers. Ghashiun suddenly yelps, jumping away from where his feet once were to see melted sand, an almost glassy texture in the spot that he'd been standing.

"That's where I come in. Dress June and I up as members of your tribe. Bring us with you when you challenge your mother. If things aren't going in your favor, I'll step in and make sure they do. You will win… I can guarantee that. And once you do, your mother will be at your mercy. Though I do have ideas regarding that, if you're interested. All you have to do… is say yes."

He can tell right off the bat that Ghashiun will do exactly that. The young man is not particularly honorable, or moral. He's greedy, but Zuko knows how to work with greed to get what he wants, and Ghashiun's greed is the kind of greed that a man of Zuko's means and power and wealth would laugh at. There might come a time when the sandbender wants more than what Zuko is giving him, but the best part is, he won't ever amount to anything more than this, anything more than what Zuko helps him achieve.

"… I'm in."

Zuko just chuckles.

"As I knew you would be."

-x-X-x-

Moans fill the large tent as Zuko watches June slowly strip down a struggling, squirming Yulduz. The bounty hunter spends an inordinate amount of time on Yulduz's surprisingly pale breasts, her body covered in tan lines thanks to some parts of her spending more time out in the sun then other parts. Its rather hot, in Zuko's humble opinion. And the touching is what's causing the moaning.

"My son… what have you done? Ohh, this is wrong… you mustn't do this."

Of course, at the moment, Ghashiun isn't doing anything. He's standing beside Zuko, watching June strip his mother naked, his nostrils flaring and his eyes wide with desire. He'll probably be doing something soon though, of course, so in a way, Yulduz's words are not incorrect, they're merely prophetic. What's about to happen to her will indeed be very wrong, from a certain point of view. From Zuko's point of view though, there's nothing more… right.

As expected, his plan had gone off without a hitch. Zuko and June had accompanied Ghashiun to a meeting spot where the rest of his supporters, the younger man of the tribe, met up with them. Then, the entire group, Zuko and June disguised and easily blending in among them, had gone to the Sand Tribe itself, where Ghashiun had called out his own mother in front of the entire tribe.

That's when Zuko had gotten his first look at Chieftain Yulduz, who he had to admit, was a strong, beautiful MILF of a woman, with a straight back and a firm jaw. She was a fighter, that much was obvious, and she looked so very disappointed in her son. Not as disappointed as she seemed now, but that disappointment was in turn warring with unwanted arousal and the attentions of an affectionate, eager-to-please June.

Regardless, Ghashiun had done exactly what Zuko told him to do, calling his mother a coward for not fighting the Avatar when their sand-sailers were destroyed. He'd flipped the script and turned at least a portion of his tribe's anger from him onto his mother. And then he'd challenged her to the duel. It had not been an easily won fight. It'd been hard-fought… and as expected, as hoped, Zuko had indeed had to step in.

Unlike with Ghashiun however, he was a lot subtler in sabotaging Yulduz. The heat he put under her feet was momentary and not quite hot enough to melt the sand into glass, simply hot enough to surprise her when it happened not once, not twice, but thrice. It was all Ghashiun needed, as sensing weakness, the young sandbender capitalized and effectively tore his mother's defenses apart. Watching a duel between two sandbenders was interesting. Because of how hot it was, because of the elements, it was less about killing one another and more about using attacks involving sand to erode one's clothing until enough skin was exposed for long enough that one had to give up and seek shelter.

Ghashiun had perhaps gone a little too far in exposing his own mother's breasts to the people of his tribe, but personally, Zuko felt that it made for a good, educational image, the lot of them watching him stand over his defeated MILF of a mother as she knelt there, huddling and covering herself, accepting her surrender from her own lips. He'd been gracious about it too, offering her clothing the moment she'd surrendered. Then, he'd ordered her back to her tent until he could deal with her.

High on power, Ghashiun had given another few orders, until finally Zuko had June touch his arm, reminding of his two guests. Together, the three of them had gone to the largest tent in the tribe, and that was where they were now. June had effectively tied up Yulduz before the other woman could even react, and now Zuko and Ghashiun were watching on as the bounty hunter fingered the sandbender's cunt before their eyes.

"Go on, Ghashiun. Claim your prize."

The young sandbender's eyes widen at the thought, as does his mother's, albeit for different reasons. After a moment though, Zuko can see Ghashiun's resolve firming up, and as he walks towards his mother, he begins to undo the ties holding his pants in place, pulling them off and exposing himself to the woman who gave birth to him. Yulduz tries to tell him no, tries to tell him he can't, but even as she's shaking her head back and forth, June is drawing her fingers back from the MILF's cunt and grabs Yulduz's skull with both hands, before ultimately kissing her upside down to silence her.

Ghashiun kneels between his mother's spread legs and without further ado, sinks his cock straight into her sopping wet core. Zuko knows its sopping wet, because he knows June does good work. The bounty hunter continues to kiss Yulduz, muffling the older woman's keening wail as her son begins to take her for the first time, slowly thrusting in and out of her.

From the looks of things, Ghashiun very well might have been a virgin before this moment. Walking over to watch from a better angle, Zuko smiles as he enjoys the sight of a young man fucking his mother. The Fire Lord is nothing if not a pervert, and this pairing isn't the first mother-son relationship he's coaxed into being. Given his relationship with his own mother, Zuko has never felt that there was any man better for an older woman, especially a widow, then their own flesh and blood. It was their son who knew them best, after all.

As Yulduz slowly loses control of herself, moaning and whimpering rather than whining and trying to get Ghashiun to stop, she suddenly climaxes between June and her son. That's about the point when June pulls back, smirking and cradling Yulduz's head in her hands, but no longer silencing the sandbender MILF with her lips. Seeing this, Zuko steps in and occupies June's lips with his cock, sliding her back and forth along his length and watching on as Ghashiun falls upon his mother's chest, slurping and sucking at her breasts as the older woman continues to cum around his pistoning prick.

"You've done well, Ghashiun. The Fire Lord will be pleased to have you as an ally. And you… you will continue to benefit greatly from his patronage, so long as you do not seek to betray him."

Looking up for a moment, Ghashiun blinks and then grins. His mother tries to ask what Zuko is talking about, but the young man is positively bursting with confidence, and without even looking, he tweaks Yulduz's nipples, causing her question to turn into a cry as she once again cums around his cock. Giving Zuko a comradery driven nod, Ghashiun looks down at his mother's panting, reddened face and chuckles.

"Nothing you need to worry about, mother. Your place is on your back from now on. Let me handle the important things. I promise, I'm going to lead our tribe to greatness."

Yulduz can't help but moan, even as she shakes her head back and forth. Zuko can tell that it'll take the rest of the night for Ghashiun to truly break his mother and teach her that her new place is at his feet, but he's confident that the other young man can do it. In fact, looking down, watching as Ghashiun dominates his MILF of a mom, Zuko makes the decision right then and there that June's next child will be this sandbender's.

He doesn't tell Ghashiun, of course, because there's still a chance the man will fuck things up somehow, but Zuko has a good feeling about this. The Sand Tribe now answers to the Fire Lord, and Ghashiun would do well to remember that. If he wanted his reign to be a long and prosperous one, he would fall in line. Oh yes, he would fall in line.

And after tonight… it was finally time. It was time to make for Ba Sing Se, and start setting things up for one of the final phases of his conquest of the Earth Kingdom. They were getting closer and closer to the endgame now.

-x-X-x-

"Hey Boss! Need to talk to you, ASAP!"

Zuko pauses in his work and lifts an eyebrow at the noisy entrance of Jet and Kinto. He finishes pouring a cup of tea without one ounce of shaking though of course, before smiling and giving the customer he was pouring for a slight bow. Then, he makes his way back around the counter of the small tea shop he'd set up, gesturing for Jet and Kinto to follow.

It had been a few weeks since Zuko had arrived in Ba Sing Se, and while June's papers didn't get him access to the higher rings of the city, they did get him within the wall themselves, as well as gave him ownership over a small Tea Shop in the Lower Ring that he'd turned into his base of operations. The former owner now worked for him willingly, especially after Zuko had showed him more coin than his measly tea shop had brought him in a long time.

The young man had promised the owner that change was coming, change that might very well see him being able to live in one of the upper rings, if only he was… cautious and patient. The older man didn't know anything more than that, he didn't know who Zuko truly was, or that Zuko's plans actually involved the fall of Ba Sing Se.

That didn't mean the young Fire Lord wouldn't reward the former owner of his Tea Shop once all was said and done, so long as the old man didn't try to interfere. He would, he was honorable like that. Still, as a front for his efforts in the city, the Tea Shop was a good cover… so long as his so-called agents didn't walk in the front door as Jet and Kinto just had. As soon as they're in the back room, Zuko whirls on them both, frowning severely.

"What is it? What was so important that you had to come here to tell me and possibly blow all of our covers?"

Jet and Kinto exchange a glance, and Zuko can tell neither boy is all that cowed. Grinning, Kinto shrugs his shoulders.

"Well boss, you know how it is. I like to play around. I like to cause mischief. And, well… I pissed off the Dai Li."

Zuko's eyes nearly bulge out of his skull at that, while Jet snorts derisively.

"That's an understatement. But before you blow a gasket, they didn't see his face. They didn't see any of our faces. We lost them, and then we trashed the clothes they saw us in. The Tea Shop is still safe. And more than that…"

Kinto leaps in then, his grin even wider.

"We know where their base of operations is! The idiots put it under a big body of water!"

That gets Zuko's attention. There's only one body of water within the walls of Ba Sing Se that would be big enough, and even then Zuko imagines a complex beneath it would sprawl further than its shores.

"Lake Longai…"

"Got it in one, boss-man! We should ransack the place! Fuck 'em up, yeah?!"

Zuko smirks slightly, considering his 'agents' enthusiasm.

"Not yet."

That brings both Jet and Kinto up short. They're both men of action, of course, and neither likes to sit around for too long. That's probably half the reason that they were nearly caught by the Dai Li in the first place.

"What do you mean, not yet? What the hell are we waiting for?"

Zuko regards Jet for a long moment, before finally deigning to give him an answer.

"We're waiting for the Avatar, of course."

Both Jet and Kinto go stiff at that, exchanging glances before looking to Zuko in unison for more information. He's quite happy to give it to them, of course.

"The Avatar, if she's not already in the city, will be here soon. I may have gotten ahead of her, I may not have… I don't know. However, I do know this. The Dai Li have the Avatar's bison, and she will do ANYTHING to get him back. So, we'll keep an eye out for the Avatar. Once she's here, it won't be long before she figures out something is seriously wrong with the Dai Li, and that ultimately, they have her bison. Only then will we step in, using the Avatar to assure our victory over the Dai Li is absolute. For now, we must wait and continue to gather our strength. Do you both understand?"

Now that he's laid it out for them, Jet and Kinto are nodding along with him, and when he gets to the end and asks that, they both straighten up and in unison bark out a sharp 'Yes'. Zuko just smiles at the pair.

"So long as we stick to the plan, this is going to be fun my friends. Just a little while longer now, alright?"

"Aye-aye, boss. I suppose I'll head out. Smellerbee and the others are waiting for me."

"I'll come with you. That girl of yours is fucking fine…"

"Hah! There was a time where I'd have beaten you up for that, but you ain't wrong, and Smellerbee doesn't mind the attention one bit! C'mon."

Zuko watches Jet and Kinto leave, and then after a moment of thought, he lets the former owner of the Tea Shop, now his employee, know that he's stepping out to. Taking some time off from the Tea Shop, Zuko takes a walk around the Lower Ring. He wants to see what it is he's fighting for. Nothing so asinine as personal freedom or anything like that, but there's still a surety that once he's brought the entire world under his rule, under his banner… the lives of those in the Lower Ring will be irrevocably changed. At the very least, the siege will finally be able to end once he's conquered Ba Sing Se HIS way.

Of course, Zuko doesn't initially intend it, but his feet eventually lead him to the spot where his cousin fell in battle years before. The young Fire Lord stops as he finds himself staring at the spot where Lu Ten died. Perhaps it's not the exact spot. Zuko wasn't there, but whenever his uncle had ever told him the story, he'd always claimed that Lu Ten made it the furthest in.

Well, despite all attempts by Ba Sing Se's secret police force to hide the truth of the war raging outside of the walls from the general public, they couldn't quite hide the signs of battle, and the few times that the Fire Nation made its way past the walls of the city. This right here, is the furthest point in, and though Zuko couldn't say exactly why, he can feel something that tells him this is the spot.

Slowly, the young Fire Lord kneels. He reaches down and grabs a handful of black dirt, lifting it in his hand, looking down at it.

"… I do this for the fallen as much as I do it for the living, cousin. I do this so that no one I care for ever has to die on a battlefield, ever again. Your death… it was senseless. I wish it had not had to come to pass. Grandfather was a fool for risking you as he did, even if I would not hold the mantle I bear today otherwise."

Tears well up in Zuko's eyes and he places both hands in the dirt, bowing his head.

"I wish I could say that I would gladly give up the crown in order to bring you back, cousin. But it would not be true! What I do now… what I am able to do because of your sacrifice… it will fix the world! This I swear, Lu Ten. This I swear before you and every other soldier who died at your side. I will FIX this broken world. I will bring peace to these lands. I won't rest until I have. I promise."

Slowly, Zuko stands up. His tears are already dry by the time he does so, and he opens the first-hand palm down, letting the dirt within fall back to the ground.

"I promise."

"Um… I-I have something for you, but to give it to you, I need you to close your eyes."

It takes all of Zuko's considerable willpower not to give the girl sitting next to him at the Firelight Fountain a condescending smile right then and there. To be fair, Jin is a good girl, and a pretty young woman at that. She's cute, but part of that cuteness is how adorably innocent and naïve she is. He knows what she wants to 'give' him, he can already see it in her eyes and the way her lips are subconsciously already beginning to pucker up.

But he's not going to close his eyes for it. Reaching out, Zuko takes hold of Jin's hand with his own and intertwines his fingers with her, causing the young woman's eyes to widen and her face to go bright red from the unexpected contact. Then, he reaches out with his other hand and brushes at her cheek with his thumb, chuckling slightly.

"I'd rather not. I was always told that if I wanted something, I needed to keep looking forward. Never close my eyes, never turn back… just keep striving forward. So, I can't close my eyes. Okay?"

Jin shivers under his piercing gaze, biting her lower lip but eventually nodding.

"O-Okay…"

And then they kiss. It's more of a mutual thing then the girl clearly intended, but it happens nonetheless, a soft kiss on the lips that Zuko returns without a drop of hesitance, and then some. He deepens the kiss, and though Jin lets out an exclamation of surprise, its mostly muffled by his lips as he slips his tongue into her mouth, playing with her own tongue and pulling her a little closer by the hand.

Jin all but melts into his chest as they continue to makeout right there next to the Firelight Fountain. There's not really anyone else around, but its still an undeniably… public place. That doesn't stop Zuko from slipping his hand down off of Jin's face and into her top though, as his hand suddenly caresses her one of her superb breasts. While the young woman might have been innocent and naïve in nature, in body she was smoking hot and Zuko had to admit, probably had the best pair of tits in the entire city.

Pulling back from their kiss now that he's molesting her, Zuko stares into Jin's eyes with a passionate, fiery gaze.

"I need you, Jin. I need you so bad."

Her eyes widen at that, and dart downwards towards his crotch. As soon as she looks there, he takes the hand he's holding and places it atop his covered cock, letting her instinctively grasp and feel the shape of his erection. Jin gasps in shock, but she doesn't look away, nor does she tell him to stop molesting her, to stop touching her breasts.

Zuko helps her take his cock out of his pants, and then he helps her take her tits out of her top. As her hand strokes up and down his member, Zuko fondles Jin's breasts, one after the other.

"By the Spirits, it feels so good… Jin… will you make me feel any better?"

Looking up at him in mild confusion, but earnest desire, clearly immensely aroused, Jin hesitantly nods. Zuko smiles and moves a hand to her ponytail, pushing her head down.

"Please, take it in your mouth…"

There's something special about corrupting such an innocent young woman right out in the public like this. Oddly enough, their location doesn't seem to even be a concern to Jin. Whether that's because she's immensely distracted by how fast Zuko is moving things along, or because she truly doesn't care… well, he doesn't know, and it doesn't really matter in the end. Jin takes him in her mouth, and Zuko groans as the young Earth Nation woman leans over him, kneeling on the edge of the fountain at this point.

Letting go of her ponytail and allowing Jin to bob up and down on his cock of her own volition at this point, Zuko reaches along her back, running his hand to her backside, where he hurriedly hikes up her skirt, exposing her beautiful, tanned bottom. Jin startles when his fingers delve between her thighs and push up against her sopping wet quim, but then she moans around his cock, and begins to suck him off all the faster, all the more enthusiastically as he fingers her right then and there for anyone passing by to see.

No one does pass by at this time of night, of course, but it's still a delightful bit of exhibitionism, and Zuko enjoys exposing and playing with Jin's body in public like this. She enjoys it too, from the looks of things. She enjoys it a lot… quite a lot. Suddenly, his fingers are soaked and Zuko's brow lifts in surprise as Jin's climatic moans reverberate up his length. He pulls her back off his shaft after a moment, and she looks at him, seeming slightly worried.

"S-Sorry, I didn't, um… mean to make a mess…"

Had that been her first orgasm? If so, Zuko had really hit the jackpot with this one. Bringing his fingers around, the young Fire Lord makes sure to give Jin a nice, wide smile as he shows her own juices to her.

"Not a problem… so long as you clean up after yourself."

Still following his lead, Jin opens wide and lets him put his messy fingers in her mouth. She sucks them clean as his eyes remain locked on hers the entire time, her tongue slurping and sucking this way and that. When she's done, he's harder than ever, and not willing to wait anymore.

"I'm going to fuck you now, Jin. I have to have you."

Jin's face goes an atomic red, but she nods shyly nonetheless, and though she yelps a little as he begins to manhandle her into position a moment later, she doesn't fight him on it. Soon enough, Zuko has the half-naked Earth Nation girl bent over the Firelight Fountain, her hands palm down on the edge of the Fountain and her legs spread wide to give him access to her drooling quim.

Zuko fits his saliva-coated cockhead up against Jin's pussy lips and then leans over her, wrapping one arm over her breasts and the other over her mouth as he suddenly thrusts in. As expected, this is Jin's first time, and he's just taken her virginity. The cry of pain as he plows through her purity, tearing apart her hymen… is luckily stifled by his hand over her mouth as he gives her a moment to adjust to his size, the majority of his shaft already buried in her gushing, gripping little cunt.

Then, he begins to thrust in and out of her, and Jin immediately starts moaning, forcing Zuko to leave his hand over her mouth lest they wake up this entire portion of the city with Jin's screams. There's no one visible around them right now, but that didn't mean there wasn't anyone in the numerous darkened homes that surround the Firelight Fountain.

Zuko fucks Jin from behind, pounding into her bent-over form as she moans into his hand, groaning and squealing and screaming her ecstasy. It doesn't take long for her to cum again, and after that second climax, it's like the proverbial floodgates have been opened. She can't STOP cumming around his cock, her legs eventually giving out on her and leaving her on her knees as Zuko falls into a crouch to stay inside of her.

He takes the virgin Earth Nation girl from behind for who knows how long, fucking her nice and hard. He wants her to know what she's getting into, and while Zuko initially had intentions of letting her go if this wasn't for her, the more he fucks her, the more he knows that he's found another woman to add to his harem, another beautiful young lady to impregnate with his children.

Jin might not be a bender, she might not be royalty or anyone particularly rebellious or special… but she's got her own charm to her, and as Zuko finally lets loose with a groan right into her ear as he cums deep inside of her womb while clutching her tightly to him, he knows that he's never going to let her go. And Jin, judging by the fucked silly expression on her face when he finally pulls out and turns her around to look at him, is A-Okay with that.

Zuko fixes up the young woman's clothing and tucks his cock away in his pants before carrying her home bridal style. She comes back to herself about halfway through the walk, and upon realizing what's going on, eagerly curls up in his embrace, nuzzling into his chest. Zuko just smiles and leans down to give the young woman a kiss on the forehead.

She may not be so innocent anymore, but she was still oblivious to who he really was and what he was planning. That was okay though. In time, Jin would find out everything… and she would learn her place at his side, as all the others had.

There was no doubt in Zuko's mind that she'd join him. She was a good girl, and good girls did what they were told.

-x-X-x-

The subterranean chamber is a relatively small one, medium-sized at best. But its packed with young women, all wearing the same Earth Nation garb as they stand there, side by side, practically unmoving. There are dozens of them and standing across from the front row facing them is a single Dai Li Agent, male.

He speaks, and they repeat after him.

"I'm Joo Dee. Welcome to Ba Sing Se."

"I'm Joo Dee. Welcome to Ba Sing Se."

"We're so lucky to have our walls to create order."

"We're so lucky to have our walls to create order."

"There is no war in Ba Si-HGURK!"

As expected, the rows of entranced young women do not react to the sudden demise of their 'instructor'. As Zuko, in the guise of the Blue Spirit, forces his blade deep, DEEP into the Dai Li agent's back and out the front of his chest before twisting it in a finishing blow, he watches from around the corpse to see their reaction. There is none. The hypnotized young women known collectively as Joo Dee are deep in their trance, and incapable of reacting to anything but orders and more of the same hypnosis right now.

Slowly, Zuko sets the dead Dai Li Agent down on the floor, sliding his blade out of the man's back. Behind him, the door is currently closed, but he's not overly worried about being found out right now anyways. The vast majority of the Dai Li is currently tied up with the Avatar and her friends, given the way that Aang had just gone about tearing her way out of the complex beneath Lake Longai, while flying off with her recovered flying bison.

Of course, as planned, Jet and Kinto and the rest of the Freedom Fighters had been there to help out the Avatar once she and Kya's children, as well as Toph, had finally made their way into the city. Once they were in Ba Sing Se, it was only a matter of days before they finally figured out something sinister was going on. And more importantly, that they could get Appa back if they just made their way to Lake Longai.

Needless to say, Zuko had been there to for the 'infiltration', if it could be called such. As the Blue Spirit, he'd fought alongside Jet's Freedom Fighters and Team Avatar in helping free Appa. But once the Avatar and her friends had fled and sent the majority of the Dai Li chasing after them, Zuko had doubled back. How could he not, when such an excellent opportunity had presented itself to him.

Standing there now where the Dai Li agent had been stood moments before, Zuko cocks his head to the side, his features hidden behind the Blue Spirit's mask. Of course, all of the Earth Nation women that the Dai Li have kidnapped and taken down to their lair for brainwashing are wearing masks of their own, masks that hide whatever their reaction to all this might be.

Except… lifting up a stack of papers clutched in one of his gloved hands, Zuko reads the lines before him once more. The documents, stolen from Long Feng's personal quarters while the man was trying to cow the Avatar into submission, outlined exactly who and what the Joo Dees were. Namely, that they were nobody before they came to the Dai Li, and were now something very useful, a tool that the Dai Li would hate to lose.

It seemed a shame that all of these women had had their identities stripped away from them. Zuko was aghast at what he read in the documents he'd taken from Long Feng. But there was no reversing what had been done to them. They truly were nobody now, save for the title that the Dai Li had given the collective. They were Joo Dee, each and every one of them, and while they could have their own thoughts and feelings, they didn't remember a time before they served the Dai Li as Joo Dee.

Well, soon enough, they wouldn't remember that either. Or at least, they would suddenly know that there was a greater loyalty to be had then Long Feng and his secret police. Smiling sadly, Zuko clears his throat and speaks.

"The Earth Nation crumbles. Ba Sing Se falls. Only by submission to the Fire Lord can we be saved."

"The Earth Nation crumbles. Ba Sing Se falls. Only by submission to the Fire Lord can we be saved."

"Service to the Fire Lord and those he trusts is the greatest service there is. Obeying his orders, being his fingers in Ba Sing Se, nothing matters more."

"Service to the Fire Lord and those he trusts is the greatest service there is. Obeying his orders, being his fingers in Ba Sing Se, nothing matters more."

"The Blue Spirit serves as an extension to the Fire Lord. The Blue Spirit is to be obeyed in all things."

"The Blue Spirit serves as an extension to the Fire Lord. The Blue Spirit is to be obeyed in all things."

Taking a deep breath as the group of Joo Dees finishes that last line, Zuko lifts his hand and snaps his fingers not once, not twice, but thrice. Slowly, blinking, the Joo Dees come out of their hypnotic, suggestive trance. Each of them, individually and separate from one another, lays eyes upon Zuko, and more importantly, his mask.

Without fail, ever single woman in the room falls to their knees and prostrates themselves before him. A faint whisper is taken up among the Joo Dees.

"… Blue Spirit…"

"Blue Spirit!..."

"It's the Blue Spirit!"

"How may we serve you?"

Zuko smirks a little, behind his mask. Then, he reaches down and begins loosening his belt. He is a young man with a libido the size of this damn city, after all.

"You may serve me with your tongues and your mouths. You will spread the truth among the citizenry of the city and incite rebellion against the Earth King. But first… you will put those tongues of yours to another use. Come, worship me."

As he walks into the midst of them, the group of Joo Dees crowds around him, all kneeling as numerous tongues and sets of lips find their way to his cock and his balls, worshipping him. Hands paw at him, and Zuko luxuriates in the sensation of being so thoroughly adored by such a large group of women for a brief moment. Still, there's far too many Joo Dees for him to enjoy alone.

Luckily, he won't have to worry about that. Even as his hand closes around the top knot of one Joo Dee who's managed to place herself right in front of him, the door to the chamber opens and some familiar faces slip inside. Jet and his Freedom Fighters, along with Kinto, all sneak in and close the door behind them, before turning and staring at the group of needy women all surrounding their disguised leader. Eyebrows raise, even as Zuko smirks and waves a hand at them.

"Treat these newcomers well. Serve them as you would serve me."

That gets grins of delight from all involved, save for perhaps Smellerbee. She scowls and crosses her arms over her flat chest grumpily, frowning as several of the Joo Dees break off from him and move over to the Freedom Fighters.

"Ugh. I hate competition."

That doesn't stop her from stripping out of her armor and getting on her knees right alongside the Joo Dees though. Zuko watches this with a chuckle, and settles in to enjoy the loving, adoring blowjob that the Joo Dee right in front of him is giving him now. Meanwhile, throughout the room, every other man is getting pleasured by the same thing, as the group of reconditioned Joo Dees sets out to serve the Blue Spirit and his accomplices.

Things descend into a general-purpose orgy of course, and Zuko has fun fucking every single Joo Dee he can get his hands on. He cums inside each and every one of them, more of a habit than anything else by now, thoroughly enjoying defiling their soft bodies, fucking each of them to orgasm after orgasm, filling their wombs with his seed.

Jet, his soldiers, and Kinto are the same way, thoroughly enjoying having so many mind-whammied women at their beck and call. And of course, Smellerbee is in the midst of it, getting just as much dick along the way, even if she has to pin down some of her male comrades and impale herself on their shafts to get it.

When things slow down a bit and most of the Joo Dees have been creampied, Zuko does take the time to put them back under their trance and give them quite a lot more in the way of instructions. He has plans after all, and they're DEEP in the endgame now. The army of Joo Dees that he's hypnotized, along with the Dai Li that he intends to take control of soon enough… it'll all be his.

It's only a matter of time now. One way or another, Ba Sing Se will fall.
