Zuko knelt facing away from his opponent. Amaterasu Natsumi was an elite soldier of the Fire Nation. She was a fierce and deadly warrior that had carried out many covert operations for his Father personally. She also had insulted him when he was in port yesterday. Challenged his honor and disgraced him. He wold make her pay. It wasn't to the death just to until the other falls to the ground.
Zuko stood and turned to face Amaterasu. He let his ceremonial cloth fall to the ground as he went into a standard firebending position.

Amaterasu smirked wickedly at Zuko. She had been itching for a fight as well as a chance to put the prince in his place. She felt he had let his ego get a little to big for his own good. "So I see the prince doesn't just talk like a fire bender, but he likes to pretend he is one. How cute." Amaterasu stated teasingly. Her smirk never fading. She wanted to get the Prince angry, that way he wouldn't think before he attacked. It was the perfect way to humiliate him. She was going to enjoy every moment of this.
Unlike the prince she didn't adopt a stance. Instead she stood to her full height and placed a hand on her hip. The other hand was pointing at Zuko. "I hope you don't plan on winning." Amaterasu said bluntly before she started the fight. She thrust her open palm at the prince sending a small fireball at him. It was a mocking gesture.

Zuko kept his eyes on Amaterasu. He deflected the fire ball to the ground. Ignoring her taunts he breathed in and out. He fired three consecutive fireballs at Amaterasu while walking carefully closer to her.
"You should hold your tongue lest I burn it off." Zuko said calmly. He had to stay calm if he lost it he would be sure to lose.

Amaterasu wasn't the least bit surprised by his attack. She brushed each one off with a swipe of her hand splitting them in half. Small flames flickering into nothing as they were blocked. Amaterasu narrowed her eyes finally becoming serous. She stepped back not in fear, but for her next attack.
"I wouldn't be one to talk. I'm not the disgrace here crowned prince." Amaterasu said, her voice seeping with venom. She brought her left arm back and thrust it forward, but at the last second turned it in a windmill pattern. She gave one last thrust of her hand sending a large amount of flames. The arm motion had resulted in a spiral like shape to the flame adding to the strength and the difficulty of deflecting it. She dropped to the ground quickly delivering a sweeping kick to the air sending a wave of fire close to the ground. She wasn't even beginning to fight, she was just merely testing him...for now.

Zuko cringed. Still trying to maintain composure. He jumped into the whirlwind of fire spinning and shooting out fire out from his hands that blew away some of the flames. He landed on the other side of the disintegrated whirlwind that inflamed the wall behind him. He just barely jumped over the low fire wave that Amaterasu sent at him. His pants and shoes were singed. He was within 10 Yards of her now.

"Hasn't even been ten minutes and you are already burned? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You expect to beat Azula with such skills?" Amaterasu questioned wagging her finger at him in a very cruel manner.
Amaterasu lashed her hand towards the ground a loud crackling noise sounded. A whip of fire soon came to life in her hand. The fire danced in her eyes as she began her next attack. She cracked the whip just above Zuko's head and then forced it to move downward. The portion that would strike Zuko was separated from the main part of the whip. Making it pretty much a projectile. She brought the whip back and lashed out again aiming for Zuko's legs.

The pain of the wip stung. But the words hurt more.
"Thats it!" Zuko pulled both palms back and thrust them forward letting loose a huge wave of Fire. It blew past Amaterasu for the most part but took her whip with it. He drew back to punch with flames forming around his fist.
(I'm done. Finish meh off.)

"You let your feelings get the best of you...you fool!" Amaterasu stated moving to the side to avoid damage from the flame. It singed her clothing just a little, but not a lot of damage occurred. Amaterasu brought two fingers towards Zuko and fired a stream of fire directed towards his chest. "Don't die Prince." Amaterasu said blowing him a mocking kiss.

The fire knocked Zuko back and left twin scars on his chest. He had lost. He got up and bowed.
"I was wrong to challenge you. I surrender. Zuko turned and walked out of the arena. Some of the younger spectators laughed. The older spectators stayed silent. The respected Zuko's honor.

"You did well Zuko...you know your limits. Maybe you aren't a lost cause." Amaterasu stated with a frail smile. "Maybe...just maybe if you keep trying you will become a powerful fire bender." Amaterasu stated. It wasn't a kind gesture, but truth. She respected those who actually showed competence as well as strength.
