Long ago... the four nations lived together in harmony.
Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar mastered all four elements could stop them.
But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred 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...
You have mastered all four elements?
Yeah, and now, you're going down.
No, it is you who are going down.
The comet is already here and I'm unstoppable.
The Avatar state is a defense mechanism
designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars.
The glow is the combination of all your past lives
focusing their energy through your body.
I can feel a lot of energy twisted up around there.
Let me just see if I can...
what happened generations ago can be resolved now... by you.
Born in you, along with all this strife, is the power to restore balance to the world.
After I leave here today, I'm gonna free Uncle Iroh from his prison
and I'm gonna beg for his forgiveness.
But I've come to an even more important decision.
I'm gonna join the Avatar. And I'm going to help him defeat you.
-Where is my Uncle? -He busted himself out.
Sokka, it's you!
We kissed in the invasion and I thought we were gonna be together...
but we were not.
Aang, I don't know.
You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you.
No, you miscalculated. You should fear me more.
You are right about what Katara needed.
Violence wasn't the answer.
It never is.
Then, I have a question for you.
What are you gonna do when you face my father?
More ferocious!
Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!
Ah, I'm trying.
Now, let me hear you roar like a tigerdillo!
That sounded pathetic!
I said ROAR!
Who wants a nice cool glass of watermelon juice?
Oh, oh! Me, me, me!
Hey, your lessons are not over yet.
Get back here!
Come on, Zuko. Just take a break. What's the big deal?
Fine.
If you wanna launch around like a bunch of smell sloth all day, then go ahead.
Maybe Zuko is right.
Sitting around the houses make us pretty lazy.
But I know just a thing could change that.
Beach Party!
Check out my Appa's sand sculpture.
Not bad body.
But I've been working on my sandbending.
You're gonna love this.
Wow. You even made a little Earth King and Bosco.
Trying top that, Sokka.
Is that a blubbering blot monster?
No, it's Suki.
Suki, we'll all understand if you'll break up with him over this.
I think it's sweet.
But it doesn't even more like...
What are you doing?
Teaching you a lesson.
What happened?
Zuko got crazy.
I made a sand sculpture Suki and he's just striked 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 have 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 can still use some work, too.
So, you all knew Aang was gonna wait?
Honestly, if Aang try to fight the Fire Lord right now, he's gonna lose.
No, thanks.
The whole point of fighting the Fire Lord before the comet...
was to stop the Fire Nation from winning the war.
But they pretty much won the world when they took Ba Sing Se.
Things can't get any worse.
You're wrong.
It's about to get worse that you can't 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 have 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 preventing us from achieving total victory in the Earth Kingdom.
What is your recommendation?
Our army is spread 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 commons.
Do you think that adding more troops would 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, *** was with the strength and power of a hundred suns.
No benders would 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 ring fire over the lands,
a fire that will destroy everything.
And after the ashes, a new world will be born.
A world in which all the lands are Fire Nation and I am the supreme ruler of everything.
I wanted to speak out that this is a horrifying plan
but I'm in shame to say I didn't.
My whole life, I struggle to gain my father's love and acceptance.
But once I had it, I realized I lost my stuff getting there.
I forgot whom I was.
I can't believe this.
I always know the Fire Lord was a bad guy
but he's plan was 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 Fire Lord before the comet comes,
there won't be a world to save anymore.
Why didn't you tell me about your dad's plan sooner?
I didn't think I had to.
I've seen you're 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 fight the Fire Lord together, we got a shot of taking him down.
Alright, Team Avatar is back.
Air
Water
Earth
Fire
Fan and Sword
Fighting the Fire Lord is gonna be the hardest thing we've ever done together.
But I wouldn't wanna do it any other way.
-Yeah. -All right.
Get over here, Zuko.
Being part of the group
also means being part of group hugs.
There's one technique you need before facing my father,
How to redirect lightening.
If you let the energy in your own body flow, the lightening will follow it.
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?
Exaggerating, but terrifying.
You'll 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's always Katara and a little spirit water reaction, am I right?
Actually, I used it all out after Azula shot you.
You'll have to take the Fire Lord's life before he takes yours.
Yeah, I'll just do that.
Gather round, Team Avatar. 184 In order to take out the Fire Lord or in this case, the Melon Lord,
our timing has to be perfect.
First, Suki and I will drive out fire.
Then, Katara and Zuko charge in with some liquidity hard offense
and Watermelon Lord is distracted. Aang smooths in and bang!
He delivers the final blow.
Uh... What about me?
For now, you're the Melon Lord forces.
So, I get some chuck flaming rocks for all of you?
Whatever makes the training feel more realistic.
Sweetness.
Watch it, Toph!
I am not Toph. I am Melon Lord.
Now, Aang.
What are you waiting for?
Take him out!
I can't.
What's wrong with you?
If this was a real duel, you'd be shot for the lightning right now.
I'm sorry but it just didn't feel right.
I didn't feel like myself.
There, that's how it was done.
I have a surprise for everyone.
I know it. You did have a secret thing with Haru.
Uh... No, I was looking for cooking pot in the attic and I found this.
Look at baby Zuko. Isn't it cute?
I would light up. I'm just teasing.
That's not me. It's my father.
But he looks so sweet and innocent.
Well, that sweet little kid grew up to be a monster
and the worse father in history fathers.
But he's still a human being.
You're going to defend him?
No, I agree with you.
Fire Lord Ozai is a horrible person
and the world would probably be better of without him.
That's gotta 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 those happy memories to make him good again.
Do really think that would 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.
It is on the name of keeping balance.
I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you.
It 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, when you figure out a way for me to beat the Fire Lord 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 don't think so.
Okay, that's everything.
Nope, it's not. Where's Aang?
Aang, Aang?
Come on, lazy bones, let's go.
He left his staff.
That's so strange.
Aang's not in the house. Let's check the beach.
Look. There are his footprints.
The trail ends here.
So, he went a midnight swimming and never came back?
Maybe he was captured.
I don't think so. There's no signals for struggle.
I bet he went away again.
Uh-huh, he left behind his glider and Appa.
Then, what do you think happened to him, * one?
It is pretty obvious. Aang mysteriously disappeared before an important battle.
He's definitely on a spirit world journey.
What if he was, wouldn't his body is still be here?
Oh, yeah, forget 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 who went on a life changing field trip for Zuko.
Now, it's my turn.
Aang, Aang, Aang...
Avatar state, yip, yip.
And then, when I was nine, I ran away again.
Uh-huh.
I know I shouldn't complain,
my parents give me everything I ever ask for.
But they never gave me the one thing that I really want it
- 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, as like he just... disappeared.
Hey, wait a minute, has anyone notice that Momo's missing too?
Oh, no! I knew it was all the 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 were kind of the expert of tracking Aang.
Yeah, if anyone got experience hunting the Avatar, is you.
Zuko, I don't wanna tell you how to do your job
but why are we heading towards the Earth Kingdom?
There's no way Aang is there.
Just trust me.
Come on, slob plods, faster.
Sorry, I'm late, father.
Good palankeen bearers are so hard to come by these days.
So, is everything ready for our departure?
There has been a changed of plans, Azula.
What?
I've decided to leave 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 trust you.
Really?
And for your loyalty, I've decided to declare you the new Fire Lord.
Fire Lord Azula?
It does seem appropriate but what about you?
Fire Lord 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 will be known as the Phoenix King.
And the reason you've brought us to a seedily Earth Kingdom tavern is what now?
June
Oh, yeah, that weird bounty hunter with the giant mole.
Her skin is flawless.
No, she has this giant mole creature to ride around us.
It's shirshu. It's the only animal that can track Aang's scent anywhere of the world.
It's the one shot we have to find 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?
