"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 elments, 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." "Previously on Avatar..." "What happened generations ago, can be resolved now." "Born in you is the power to restore balance to the world." "You see you are too late, the comet is already here and I'm unstoppable!" "You were right about what Katara needed, violence wasn't the answer." "It never is." "Then I have a question for you:" "What are you going to do when you face my father?" "More ferocious!" "Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!" "I'm trying!" "Now, let me hear you roar like a tiger-dillo!" "That sounded pathetic!" "I said "roar!"" "Who wants a nice cool glass of watermelon juice?" "Oh, me, me, me!" "Hey!" "Your lesson is not over yet!" "Get back here!" "Come on, Zuko." "Just take a break." "What's the big deal?" "Fine!" "If you want to lounge around like a bunch of snails all day, then go ahead!" "Maybe Zuko's right." "Sitting around the house made us pretty lazy." "But I know just the thing to change that:" "Beach Party!" "But I've been working on my sandbending." "You're gonna love this." "You even made a little Earth King and Bosco." "Try to top that, Sokka!" "Is that a blubbering blob-monster?" "No!" "It's Suki!" "Suki, we'll all understand if you break up with him over this." "I think it's sweet." "But it doesn't even look like..." "What are you doing?" "Teaching you a lesson!" "What happened?" "Zuko's gone crazy!" "I made a sand sculpture of Suki and he destroyed it!" "Oh, and he's attacking Aang." "Get a grip before I blast you off this roof!" "Go ahead and do it!" "Enough!" "What's wrong with you?" "You could've hurt Aang!" "What's wrong with me?" "What's wrong with all of you!" "?" "How can you sit around having beach parties when Sozin's Comet is only three days away?" "Why are you all looking at me like I'm crazy?" "About Sozin's Comet..." "I was actually gonna wait to fight the Fire Lord until after it came." " After?" " I'm not ready." "I need more time to master firebending." "And, frankly, your earthbending still could use some work too." "So, you all knew Aang was gonna wait?" "Honestly, if Aang tries to fight the Firelord right now, he's gonna lose." "No offense." "The whole point of fighting the Firelord before the comet was to stop the Fire Nation from winning the war." "But they pretty much won the war when they took Ba Sing Se." "Things can't get any worse." "You're wrong." "It's about to get worse than you can even imagine." "The day before the eclipse, my father asked me to attend an important war meeting." "It was what I dreamed about and wanted for so many years." "My father had finally accepted me back." "Welcome, Prince Zuko." "We waited for you." "General Shinu, your report." "Thank you, sir." "Ba Sing Se is still under our control, however," "Earthbender rebellions have prevented us from achieving achieving a total victory in the Earth Kingdom." "What is your recommendation?" "Our army is spead too thin, but once the eclipse is over and the invasion defeated, we should transfer more domestic forces into the Earth Kingdom." "Prince Zuko, you've been among the Earth Kingdom commoners, do you think that adding more troops will stop these rebellions?" "The people of the Earth Kingdom are proud and strong." "They can endure anything, as long as they have hope." "Yes, you're right." "We need to destroy their hope." "Well, that's not exactly what I..." "I think you should take their precious hope, and the rest of their land, and burn it all to the ground." "Yes, yes, you're right, Azula." "Sozin's Comet is almost upon us." "And on that day, it will lend us the strength and power of a hundred suns." "No bender will stand a chance against us." "What are you suggesting, sir?" "When the comet last came, my grandfather, Fire Lord Sozin, used it to wipe out the air nomads." "Now, I will use its power to end the Earth Kingdom, permanently." "From our airships, we will rain fire over their lands." "The fire that will destroy everything!" "And out of the ashes, a new world will be born." "A world in which all the lands will be Fire Nation and I am the supreme ruler of everything!" "I wanted to speak out against this horrifying plan, but ashamed to say that I didn't." "My whole life I struggled to gain my father's love and acceptance." "But once I had it," "I realized I lost myself getting there." "I forgotten who I was." "I can't believe this." "I always knew the Firelord was a bad guy, but his plan is just pure evil!" "What am I gonna do?" "I know you're scared." "And I know you're not ready to save the world." "But if you don't defeat the Firelord before the comet comes, there won't be a world to save anymore." "Why didn't you tell me about your dad's crazy plan sooner?" "I didn't think I had to." "I assumed you were still gonna fight him before the comet." "No one told me you decided to wait." "This is bad, this is really, really bad!" "Aang, you don't have to do this alone." "Yeah!" "If we all have to fight the Firelord together, we got a shot at taking him down!" "Alright!" "Team Avatar is Back!" "Air, Water," "Earth, Fire," "Fan, and Sword!" "Fighting the Firelord is gonna be the hardest thing we've ever done together." "But I wouldn't wanna do it any other way." " Yeah!" " Alright!" "Get over here, Zuko." "Being part of the group also means being part of the group hugs." "There's one technique you need to know before facing my father." "How to redirect lightning." "If you let the energy in your body flow, lightning will follow it, and you turn your opponent's energy against them." " That's like waterbending." " Exactly." "My uncle invented this technique himself by studying waterbenders." "So...have you ever redirected lightning before?" "Once." "Against my father." "What did it feel like?" "Exilirating." "But terrifying." "You feel so powerful holding that much energy in your body, but you know if you make the wrong move, it's over." "Well, not over-over, I mean..." "There is always Katara and a little spirit water action, am I right?" "Actually, I used it all up after Azula shot you." "You'll have to take the Firelord's life, before he takes yours." "Yeah, I'll just do that." "Gather around, Team Avatar." "In order to take out the Firelord, or in this case, the Melonlord, our timing has to be perfect." "First, Suki and I will draw his fire." "Then, Katara and Zuko charge in with some liquidy hot offence, and while the Melonlord is distracted," "Aang swoopes in and BAM!" "He delivers the final blow." "Ehm, what about me?" "For now, you're the Melonlord's forces." "So I get to chuck flaming rock at all of you?" "Whatever makes the training field more realistic." "Sweetness!" "Watch it, Toph!" "I'm no Toph, I AM MELONLORD!" "Now, Aang!" "What are you waiting for?" "Take him out!" "I can't." "What's wrong with you?" "If this was the real deal, you'd be shot full of lighting right now." "I'm sorry." "But it just doesn't feel right." "I didn't feel like myself." "There." "That's that how it's done." "I have a surprise for everyone!" "I knew it!" "You did have a secret thing with Haru!" "Ah, no." "I was looking for cooking pots in the attic and I found this." "Look at baby Zuko!" "Isn't he cute?" "Oh lighten up, I'm just teasing." "That's not me." "It's my father." "But he looks so sweet and innocent." "That sweet little kid grew up to be a monster." "And the worst father in the history of fathers." "But he's still a human being." "You're going to defend him?" "No, I agree with you." "Firelord Ozai is a horrible person, and the world will probably be better off without him, but there's got to be another way." "Like what?" "I don't know." "Maybe we can make some big pots of glue and then I can use gluebending to stick his arms and legs together so he can't bend anymore!" "Yeah, then you can show him his baby pictures and all these happy memories will make him good again!" "Do you really think that will work?" "No!" "This goes against everything I learned from the monks." "I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like." "Sure you can." "You're the Avatar!" "If it's in the name of keeping balance," "I'm sure the universe will forgive you." "This isn't a joke, Sokka!" "None of you understands the position I'm in!" " Aang, we do understand." "It's just.." " Just what, Katara?" " What?" " We're trying to help!" "Then why don't you figure out a way for me to defeat the Firelord without taking his life, I'd love to hear it!" "Aang, don't walk away from this." "Let him go." "He needs time to sort it out by himself." "Hey, Momo." "I don't suppose you know what I should do." "I didn't think so." "Okay, that's everything." "No it's not, where's Aang?" "Aang?" " Aang?" " Come on, lazy bones, let's go!" "He left his staff." "It's so strange." "Aang's not in the house, let's check the beach." "Look!" "There's his footprints." "The trail ends here." "So, he went for a midnight swim and never came back?" " Maybe he was captured." " I don't think so." "I don't think so." "I bet he ran away again." "He left his glider and Appa." "Then what do you think happened, oh, sloozy one?" "It's pretty obvious." "Aang mysteriously disappears before an important battle." "He's definitely in a spirit world journey." "But if he was, wouldn't his body still be here?" "Oh, yeah, forgot about that." "Then he's gotta be somewhere on Ember Island, let's split up and look for him." "I'm going with Zuko." "What?" "Everyone else went on a life-changing field-trip with Zuko." "Now it's my turn!" "Aang!" "Aang!" "Aang!" "Aang!" "Aang!" "Avatar State, Yip Yip!" "And when I was 9, I ran away again." "I know I should complain." "My parents gave me everything I ever asked for." "But they never gave me the one thing that I really wanted." "Their love." "You know what I mean?" "Look, I know you had a rough childhood, but we should really focus on finding Aang." "This is the worst field trip ever." "Judging by the looks on your faces," "I'm guessing you guys didn't find Aang either." "No, it's like he just... disappeared." "Hey, wait a minute, has anyone noticed that Momo is missing too?" "Oh, no!" "I knew it was only a matter of time!" "Appa ate Momo!" "Momo!" "I'm coming for you, buddy!" "Sokka, Appa didn't eat Momo." "He's probably with Aang." "That's just what Appa wants you to think." "Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka." "We have a real problem here." "Aang is nowhere to be found and the comet is only two days away." "What should we do, Zuko?" "I don't know." "Why are you all looking at me?" "Well, you are kind of the expert on tracking Aang." "Yeah, if anyone's got experience hunting the Avatar, it's you." "Zuko, I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but why are we heading to the Earth Kingdom?" "There's no way Aang's there." "Just trust me." "Come on, slowpokes, faster!" "Sorry I'm late, father." "Good palanquin bearers are so hard to come by these days." "So, is everything ready for our departure?" "There's been a change in plans, Azula." "What?" "I've decided to lead the fleet of airships to Ba Sing Se alone." "You will remain here, in the Fire Nation." "But, I thought we were going to do this together?" "My decision is final." "You, you can't treat me like this!" "You can't treat me like Zuko!" "Azula, silence yourself." "But it was my idea to burn everything to the ground!" "I deserve to be by your side!" "Azula!" "Listen to me." "I need you here to watch over the homeland." "It's a very important job that I can only entrust to you." "Really?" "And for your loyalty," "I've decided to declare you the new Firelord." "Firelord Azula?" "It does seem appropriate..." "But, what about you?" "Firelord Ozai is no more." "Just as the world will be reborn in fire," "I shall be reborn as the supreme ruler of the world." "From this moment on, I wll be known as" "The Phoenix King!" "And the reason you brought us to the Seedy Earth Kindom Tavern is what now?" "June." "Oh yeah, this weird bounty hunter with a big mole." "Mole?" "Her skin is flawless." "No, she has this giant mole-creature she rides around on." "Shirshu." "It's the only animal who can track Aang's scent anywhere in the world." "It's the one shot we have at finding him." "I don't know who this June lady is, but I like her!" "Hey, Momo..." "I just had the strangest dream." "Wait." "Where are we?"
