"Water" "Earth" "Fire" "Air" "Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony" "Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked." "Only the avatar, master of all four elements could stop them." "But when the world needed him most, he vanished." "100 years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new avatar, an airbender named Aang" "And although his airbending skills are great" "He has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone." "But I believe Aang can save the world." "We won't be able to mount a massive invasion without the earth king's armies." "But the solar eclipse will still leave the Firenation vulnerable." "So we're planning a smaller invasion." "Just a rack-tack team of our friends and allies from around the Earth Kingdom." "It's better for now that no one knows that I'm alive." "You used to be the pride of the Firenation." "Now look at you." "Look what you've become." "Look, you guys keep telling me I need to sleep." "But I can't." "The invasion is tomorrow." "You've been training for this since the day we met." "You can do this." "You're ready." "During the meeting I was the perfect prince." "The son my father wanted." "But I wasn't me." "Evil and good are always at war inside you, Zuko." "It is your nature." "Your legacy." "Born in you along with all the strive is the power to restore balance to the world." "Book three:" "Fire" "Chapter ten:" "The day of black sun, Part 1: the Invasion" "Top of the morning, Momo." " Sounds like you slept well." "Like a baby moose line I'm ready to face the Firelord." "So what's your strategy for taking him down?" "Gonna get your glow on and hit him with a little avatar state action?" "I can't." "When Azula shot me with lightening my seventh chakra was locked." "Cutting off my connection to all the cosmic energy in the universe." "You know what I just heard?" "Blabla... spiritual... mombo jumbo blabla... something about space." "Oh no, Sokka, do you think the fog will delay the invasion?" "No, that is the invasion." "You made it, dad." "Were you able to locate everybody I told you to find?" "I did." "But I'm a little worried, Sokka." "Some of these man aren't exactly the warrior type." "This place ain't nothing like a swamp." "What you recon that is?" "Some sort of Firenation exploding trap would eat you." "It's just a rock, dude." "Well, I'll be." "Is it just me or are those fellows a little lose in the leafhead." "I just wish they would wear pants." "Pants are an illusion and so is death." "Hi, Katara." "Haru, it's so good to see you." "Toph, this is Haru." "When we met him his town was controlled by the Firenation." "So, he had to hide his earthbending." "Katara inspired me and my father to take back our village." "You helped us found our courage, Katara." "No we're here to help you." "No way, is that..." "Hypo happy to see blind bandit." " You guys here for a rematch?" "Negatory, the boulder and the hypo no longer fight for others entertainment." "Now we fight for our kingdom." "Sweet." "Was that a new invention?" "Yes, but unfortunately the incendiary capabilities of peanut sauce proof to be a failure." "You're making peanut sauce bombs?" "They are destructive" " And delicious." "Were you able to complete work on the plans I send you?" "Yes, I was and I think the Firenation will be quite surprised." "Aang, my dad and I made this for you." "A new glider." "This is amazing." "And as a special feature I added a snack compartment." "I'm sure that will come in handy." "I bed you tired of being in this cell, old man." "Well, too bad." "You're never stepping outside this walls again." "Breakfast." "Careful, Ming." "Don't get too close." "His stantial will knock you right out." "I snuck in some yj tea." "I know you like rare teas." "Thank you, Ming." "Ever since I was put in here, you've very kind to me." "Don't worry." "You'll do great." "Good morning everyone." "As you know today we're invading the Firenation." "I mean I know you know that because otherwise why else would you be here?" "Anyway..." "The Firelord palace is here." "Uh, no, uh wait, uh wait, uh wait, it's here." "There's an eclipse today and Aang is gonna fight the Firelord." "And the firebenders won't have any fire to use." "That's good for us." "I'm sorry, let me start at the beginning." "Katara and I discovered Aang frozen in an Iceberg." "Now I didn't like Aang at first but I grew to love him over time." "Then we went to the southern air temple where Aang used to live." "And then we met Suki as an Kaoshi warrior." "When he says the beginning he means the beginning beginning." "Got Haru arrested and now he's wearing a moustache which you feel looking at the front row, you can see it." "Thank you, Sokka." "It's okay, why don't you take a break?" "Let me just clarify a few points for everyone." "Today is the day of black sun." "And I want to thank you all for your self sacrifice and your courage." "There are two steps to the invasion." "A naval stage and then a land stage." "To gain access to the Firenation capital we have to get past our first major obstacle here" "The great gates of Azula." "Next, we hit the land and we hit hard." "We must fight past their battlements and secure the plaza tower." "Once we do that, it's up to the royal palace." "At that point the eclipse will begin." " Excuse me, the boulder is confused." "Isn't the point to invade during the eclipse, when the firebenders are powerless?" "The eclipse will only last eight minutes, not enough time for the whole invasion." "And the royal palace is heavily guarded by firebenders." "So, that's where we'll need the eclipse advantage the most." "When this is finished, the avatar will have defeated the Firelord." "We'll have control over the Firenation capital and this war will be over." "We've been looking everywhere for you." "The boats are ready to leave." "I messed up Aang." " What?" "The invasionplan was my moment of truth." "And I completely flopped it." "I just fell apart." "That speech wasn't your moment of truth." "That was just public speaking." "And nobody is really good at that." "My dad is, he explained the perfectly and inspired everyone." "Like a real leader should." "Your moment of truth isn't going to be in front some map." "It is going to be out there, on the battlefield." "You seem so confident about everything, how do you know we're gonna to win?" "Because I already failed the world once at BaSing se." "I won't let myself fail again." "There they are, the great gates of Azula." " I don't see any gates." "Katara, you and the swamp benders whip up a fog cover." "We'll sneak by them statues just like we sneaked by that fire navy blockade." "Keep it up, we're almost through." "Everyone to low deck." "Let's hope your invention works." "No one is onboard, sir." " Where did they go?" "You really had done yourself this time, son." "Yeah, congratulations, Sokka." "You managed to invent... a worse way of traveling than flying." "Helmet?" "I just came up with the idea." "The mechanist did all the work." "Don't sell yourself short, my boy." "It was your idea to use waterbending to make the subs sink and float." "Brilliant, Though your original designs were a bit difficult to decipher." "Unfortunately, there's one problem I couldn't fix." "The subs have a limited air supply." "Before we land on the beaches we'll need to resurface." "Lunch time, general Iroh." "And this time I brought you an extra bowl of rice." "Thank you, Ming." "Your little gestures of kindness have made my days in prison bearable." "I think you should take the rest of the day off." "What?" " You don't look well." "Maybe you should go home and rest." "No, I feel fine." "Trust me, it is better that you are not here this afternoon." "So, this is it." "Are you ready for the Firenation to know the avatar is alive?" "I'm ready." "I hope you kick some serious Firelord but, twinkletoes." "Everyone, listen up." "The next time we resurface it will be on the beaches." "So stay alert and fight smart." "Now break time is over, back in the subs." "Aang..." " Katara, I..." "You go first." "We've been through so many things together and I've seen you grow up so much." "You're not that little goofy kid I found in the iceberg anymore." "I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm really proud of you." "Everything is going to be different after today, isn't it?" "What if I don't come back." " Aang, don't say that." "Of course you..." "Katara, what are you doing?" "It's time to submerge." "What?" "Right, I'm on it." "I'm sorry, Mai." "What do you know?" "It did come in handy." "Everyone in position." "Earthbenders, in your tanks." "This is going to be a rough ride." "Ready, the torpedo." "Launch!" "We're a man dale." "Where a tornation is you!" "Hey, you." "Where have you been?" "Communing with nature." "It takes while to collect this much seaweed." "Dad, look out!" "Sokka, we've got to take out those battlements." "It's our only chance." "I've got an idea." "You two take out that battlement." "I got this one." "Watch each other's backs." "Dad?" " Dad!" "I know I've made some bad choices." "But today I'm gonna set things right." "How does that feel, Dad?" "A little better, I need to get back to the troops." "You're hurt, badly." "You can't fight anymore." "Everyone is counting on me to lead this mission, Katara." "I won't let them down." "Can't you heal him any faster?" " I'm doing everything I can." "I'll do it." "No offence, Sokka." "But you're not exactly Mr. healing hands." "No, I'll lead the invasion force." " Don't be crazy, Sokka." "Maybe I'm a little crazy, but the eclipse is about to start... and we need to be up the volcano by the time it does." "You can do this." "I'm proud of you, Son." "I still think you crazy." "But I'm proud of you too." "Listen up everyone, I want the tanks in wedge formation." "Warriors and benders in the middle." "We're taking that tower and heading for the royal palace." "CHARGE!" "That's strange." "The avatar is back!" "Hello?" "Anyone home?" "The Firenation is falling back." "Sokka, we're on our way to victory." "No." "No, no, NO!" "Firelord Ozai, where are you?" "Dad!" "You're on your feet again." "Thanks to your sister." "I'm in no shape to fight but maybe there is someway I could help." "Everything's going smoothly and the eclipse hasn't even kicked in yet." "Let's hope our luck holds out." "Katara, you seem distracted." "Is something wrong?" "Yeah...." "Is that... is that Aang?" "What?" "Please tell you're here because the Fire Lord turned out to be a big wimp and you didn't even need the eclipse to take him down" "He wasn't home." "No one was." "The entire palace city is abandoned." "They knew." "Aang:" "It's over." "The Fire Lord is probably long gone." "Far away on some remote island where he'll be safe during the eclipse." "No." "My instincts tell me he wouldn't go too far." "He would have a secret bunker." "Somewhere he could go so it'll be safe during a siege but still be close enough to lead his nation." "If it's an underground secret bunker we're looking for, I'm just the girl to find it." "The Mechanist gave me this timing device." "It looks like we've got about 10 minutes until the full eclipse." "10 minutes to find the Fire Lord." "We can still do this." "We can still win the day." "Wait." "If they knew we were coming, it could all be a trap." "Maybe we should use the time we have left to make sure all of us get out of here safely." "Everyone who's here today came prepared to risk everything for this mission." "They know what's at stake." "If there's still a chance and there's still hope, I think they would want Aang to go for it." "What do you think?" "You're the one who has to face the Fire Lord." "Whatever you decide, I'm with you." "I've got to try." "Do you feel anything down there" "Yep." "There are natural tunnels criss-crossing through the inside of the volcano." "Anything else?" "Is there a structure somewhere?" "There's something big, dense, and made of metal deep in the heart of the volcano." "Sokka:" "Sounds like a secret bunker to me." "Aang:" "Stay safe." "We'll be back soon." "Toph:" "This way!" "That one's a dead end." "Sokka:" "What would we do without you?" "Toph:" "Perish and burn in hot magma." "Yeah, pretty much." "Toph:" "The tunnel continues on the other side and it leads right to the bunker." "Sokka:" "We'll have to be fast but careful." "Aang:" "How was that careful?" "Sokka:" "I was wrong." "We need to be fast, careful and lucky." "Sokka:" "There's no floor!" "It's just a river of lava." "Aang:" "Climb aboard and hold on tight." "Sokka:" "That's some door!" "Not a problem." "I am so glad we added you to the group." "Retreat!" "Everyone move to secondary defensive position!" "Retreat!" "Bato:" "The eclipse is only minutes away." "We should be able to make it up the hill by the time it starts and secure the entire palace by the time it's finished!" "We can wait here if you want." "No." "I want to press forward with the others." "War Minister Qin:" "The Fire Lord's chamber is that way down the hall to the left and up the stairs." "You can't miss it." "Thanks." "Sokka:" "Only 30 seconds until the total eclipse." "I'm ready." "I'm ready to face the Fire Lord." "Azula:" "So, you are alive after all." "I had a hunch that you survived." "It doesn't matter, I've known about the invasion for months." "I'm ready to face you." "Fire Lord Ozai:" "Prince Zuko, what are you doing here?" "The Mechanist:" "The eclipse is starting." "Put on your eclipse glasses." "Fire Lord Ozai:" "Why are you here?" "I'm here to tell the truth." "Fire Lord Ozai:" "Telling the truth during the middle of an eclipse." "This should be interesting." "Zuko:" "First of all, in Ba Sing Se, it was Azula who took down the Avatar, not me." "Fire Lord Ozai:" "Why would she lie to me about that?" "Zuko:" "Because the Avatar is not dead." "He survived." "What?" "!" "Zuko:" "In fact, he probably is leading this invasion." "He could be on his way right now." "Get out!" "Get out of my sight right now if you know what's good for you." "That's another thing." "I'm not taking orders from you anymore." "You will obey me or this defiant breathe will be your last!" "Think again!" "I am going to speak my mind and you are going to listen." "Where is he?" "Where is the Fire Lord?" "Hm, you mean I'm not good enough for you?" "You're hurting my feelings." "Stop wasting our time and give us the information." "You're powerless right now, so you're in no position to refuse." "And stick to the truth." "I'll be able to tell if you're lying." "Are you sure?" "I'm a pretty good liar." "I am a 400 foot tall purple platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings" "Okay you're good, I admit it." "But you really ought to consider telling the truth anyway." "When I left Ba Sing Se, I brought home some souvenirs." "Dai Li agents." "Bato:" "Surround the periphery!" "We have to secure the palace by the time the eclipse is over." "Otherwise, we'll be in for the fight of our lives." "Tyro:" "Stop!" "Surrender peacefully and we won't harm you." "We'll never surrender." "Er okay, we surrender." "Hakoda:" "There it is." "The Fire Nation royal palace." "We've come so far." "It's not over yet." "Zuko:" "For so long, all I wanted was you to love me, to accept me." "I thought it was my honor that I wanted but really, I was just trying to please you." "You, my father, who banished me just for talking out of turn." "(points a sword at Ozai) My father, who challenged me;" "A 13-year-old boy to an Agni Kai." "How can you possibly justify a duel with a child?" "It was to teach you respect." "It was cruel!" "And it was wrong." "Then you have learned nothing." "No, I've learnt everything!" "And I had to learn it on my own." "Growing up, we were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history.." "And somehow, the war was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world." "What an amazing lie that was." "The people of the world are terrified by the Fire Nation!" "They don't see our greatness, they hate us!" "And we deserve it." "We've created an era of fear in the world." "And if we don't want the world to destroy itself, we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness." "(laughs mocking) Your Uncle has gotten to you, hasn't he?" "Yes." "He has." "I can't pin her down." "She's too quick." "Wait!" "Aang, Toph, stop attacking." "Don't you see what she's doing?" "She's just playing with us." "She's not even trying to win this fight!" "Not true, I'm giving it my all." "You're trying to keep us here and waste all our time!" "Um, right." "I think your friend just said that genius." "And since you can't see, I should tell you I'm rolling my eyes." "I'll roll your whole head!" "She's just baiting you again." "Okay, so what do we do?" "Just ignore her?" "We don't have a choice." "We just have to get out of here and find the Fire Lord on our own somehow." "It's a trap." "Don't say I didn't warn you." "Ignore!" "So, Sokka's your name right?" "My favorite prisoner used to mention you all the time." "She was convinced that you were going to come rescue her." "Of course, you never came and she gave up on you." "Come and get it..." "Where is Suki?" "!" "Zuko:" "After I leave here today, I'm going to free Uncle Iroh from his prison and I'm going to beg for his forgiveness." "He is the one who has been a real father to me." "That's just beautiful." "Maybe he can pass down to you the ways of tea and failure." "But I've come to an even more important decision." "I'm going to join the Avatar." "And I'm going to help him defeat you." "Really?" "Since you're a full blown traitor now and you want me gone, why wait?" "I'm powerless, you've got your swords, why don't you just do it now?" "Because I know my own destiny." "Taking you down is the Avatar's destiny." "(sheathes his swords) Goodbye." "Coward!" "You think you're brave enough to face me but you'll only do it during an eclipse." "If you have any real courage, you'll stick around until the Sun comes out." "Don't you want to know what happened to your Mother?" "What happened that night?" "My father, Fire Lord Azulon, had commanded me to do the unthinkable to you, my own son." "And I was going to do it." "Your Mother had found out and swore she would protect you at any cost." "She knew I wanted the throne and she proposed a plan." "A plan in which I would become Fire Lord and your life would be spared." "Where's Suki?" "Answer me!" "Sokka, she won't talk." "Where are you keeping her?" "!" "Your Mother did vicious, treasonous things that night." "She knew the consequences and accepted them." "For her treason, she was banished." "So she's alive." "Perhaps." "Now I realize that banishment is far too merciful a penalty for treason." "Your penalty will be far steeper." "Oh." "Sounds like the firebending's back on." "Dad's all the way at the end of the hall and down the secret stairway on the left." "I'm sure he'll be more than happy to see you now." "Sokka:" "I fell for it!" "I used up all our time." "It's not your fault, Sokka." "Azula was ready for us." "She had every move planned out." "And now it's too late." "Maybe it's not too late." "The eclipse is over but I can face the Fire Lord anyway." "No." "I don't think that's a good idea." "But I'm ready!" "I came here with a job to do and everyone's counting on me." "The Fire Lord knew we were coming this time." "We thought we had surprise on our side but we didn't." "It just wasn't our day." "What we need to do now is go help our friends." "I guess you guys are right." "You'll have another chance." "I know you will." "Bato:" "What should we do, Hakoda?" "Shouldn't something have happened by now?" "I don't know." "But now that the eclipse is over, I expect we're going to see some firebenders any minute." "The Mechanist:" "My own invention." "Oh this is terrible!" "They're back!" "It was all a trap." "Azula knew we were coming and she's plotted out every move." "We just got to get to the beach as fast as we can." "If we can make it to the submarines, maybe we can get away safely." "Aang:" "They've got air power, but so do I!" "I'm going to do what I can to slow them down." "Katara:" "Appa, you and I can help too." "Everyone, let's get back to the subs!" "We can't keep them all back." "They're too many of them!" "Let's join the others." "Uncle!" "Where is my Uncle?" "Warden Poon:" "He's gone." "He busted himself out." "I..." "I've never seen anything like it!" "He was like a one man army!" "Try and find cover!" "I think we're about to see some bombs." "Why aren't they turning around to attack us again?" "They're headed for the beach." "They're going to destroy the submarines!" "How are we all going to escape?" "We're not." "Then our only choice is to stand and fight." "We have the Avatar, we could still win!" "Yes, with the Avatar we could still win on another day." "You kids have to leave." "You have to escape on Appa together." "What?" "We can't leave you behind." "We won't leave anyone behind." "You're our only chance in a long run." "You and Sokka have to go with Aang somewhere safe." "It's the only way to keep hope alive." "Bato:" "The youngest of our group should go with you." "The adults will stay behind and surrender." "We'll be prisoners but we'll all survive this battle." "Tyro:" "I've got some experience with the Fire Nation prisons." "It's not going to be easy but we'll get by." "They're at the beach already!" "The Mechanist:" "Bye, son." "Teo:" "Bye, Dad." "I'm really proud of you." "The Duke:" "I'll miss you, Pipsqueak." "Pipsqueak:" "Take care, The Duke." "Haru:" "I'll be back for you Dad." "Tyro:" "If we don't escape on our own first." "We lost today but we've never been this close." "We tasted victory and that counts for something." "We'll miss you Dad." "Bye Dad." "We won't be apart for too long this time." "I promise." "Thank you all for being so brave and so strong." "I'm going to make this up to you." "Captain:" "Should we follow them, Princess?" "No." "They're too fast." "It doesn't matter, they'll be back." "I know just the place for us to go where we'll be safe for a while." "The Western Air Temple." "S" "Subtitle" "Subtitle fixed" "Subtitle fixed by" "Subtitle fixed by LEO33" "Subtitle fixed by LEO33"
