Prolouge
The fire seemed to dim in the last months of the war.
Azula went crazy, thinking all were out to get her. She exiled and killed and locked herself in her bedroom. Ozai, well, got…killed.
A week before the comet came, Aang gathered all of his allies and launched a surprise attack. Just before they were about to loose, Aang found the firelord deep in a secret chamber.
They fought for 2 long hours. Neither of them gaining ground, or tipping the scales in their favor. Each time Ozai shot a blast, Aang dodged it. Every time Aang used air, Ozai shot a fire ball into it making the hot air rise. They both knew that this fight would decide everything, the whole future. They both fought hard.
Later, both of them were starting to tire, Aang especially. Ozai slowly gained ground until Aang knew that unless he did something, he would be defeated. His last chakra was blocked, meaning he couldn't go into the avatar state. He was too weak to anything else but air bend, nothing worked. All he could do was dodge, dodge, until he was sure that in a couple seconds he was gonna be dead. Suddenly he remembered an airbending technique that Monk Gyatso taught him.
"This move can only be used as a last resort, you must promise me Aang, you will not use this move unless it is your only way of survival."
"I promise"
Gyatso showed him the move: and demonstrated it on him. He slowly bended the air out of his lungs, until he couldn't breathe. After about a minute he put the air back in. Aang fell to the ground shaking and gasping, and even though the air was in his lungs, his fear over powered him.
"Now you see why it must be only used as a last resort, you must never use this unless it's the last thing you can do."
Still gasping Aang nodded "Yes, –I understand"
Aang pushed back to the present and saw Ozai only a foot away. He could see the fire in his hand growing, ready to strike. With his last bit of strength, he earthbended Ozai away from him, he desperately locked him in place by trapping him in an earth body lock. Just before Ozai could break out of the lock, Aang started pulling the air out of his lungs. Ozai stopped immediately and tried to breathe. He couldn't get air. He rasped and choked and tried to scream "Stop!" but he couldn't. He tried to fire bend, but even fire needs air to burn. He stared at Aang and continued to struggle. Never stopping until he went limp and died seconds later, he had no last words. Aang walked over and closed his eyes, he couldn't stand to leave them open, to see the last words unsaid. He sunk the earth back into the ground and erased all evidence. He burned Ozai's body in a couple of places, trying to make it look like he died fighting, an 'honorable' death.
He ran back through the tunnel and turned a corner, he maybe could find Sokka, Katara, and Toph and get out of here.
At the same time Katara fought through soldiers, while Sokka and Toph searched for Aang. Even though she had water tribe fighters on every side, she felt as if she was doing all the work. Zuko entered the chasm and found Katara fighting. He rushed to help.
Sokka and Toph slipped behind the fighting and ran down a tunnel, Toph stopped and felt Aang running down a tunnel that connected with the one they were in
"He's down that tunnel!-And the firelord, is dead"
Toph created a shortcut for Aang and shouted down through it to signal it was her. He ran down the tunnel and found Sokka and Toph standing there.
Sokka and Toph just turned around and ran and Aang followed. After about a hundred yards they found Katara in a chasm fighting soldiers.
"Katara! Aang killed the firelord, lets go!"
"okay Sokka, but what about Azula?"
"I took care of her before I came to help" Zuko but in.
"Okay fine, lets go!"
Katara did one last water wip and killed the remaining soldiers. Toph lifted their wounded on earth beds and ran through behind Aang and the others.
Aang fainted on the way out, too tired and drained to go on. Sokka grabbed him and ran on. Zuko trailed behind.
The after math of the war was devastating. People had no idea what to do. The fire nation soldiers started going home, not waiting for an order. Aang had no intention of punishing them, they had only followed orders. Azula and Ozai of course were given a burial. Maybe not one that would have hinted royalty, but it was a burial none the less.
The Gaang set an example and just went home, time heals wounds.
Zuko went back and started to help rebuild, after all, he had been there to help destroy it during the last battle. He also crushed any left over rebels who still believed in the fire nation 'empire' cause.
The earth kingdom was drained of all fire nation forces and was given back to the rulers. Though none were there, former advisors took the kings place and waited to find one.
The water tribes started a process of healing. Katara brought some water benders with her and sunk the ship that had haunted the village ever since the beginning of the war. She also put a hand in rebuilding the Southern water tribe to its former glory, bringing a couple of water benders down with her of course. Pakku came too, and Gran Gran had time to heal old wounds.
After a year of reconstructing the world, it was time to build up the tribes, kingdoms, nations, and peoples again. The power circles had already begun forming.
Zuko, of course, took his place as firelord. Rumors flew around that Mai would be his bride, but no one really knew. Tylee and Mai were given very good pieces of land and were rewarded for their sudden turn against Azula in the battle where Ozai was killed. Zuko also set out to find his mother, who had disappeared or been killed when he was younger.
Katara and Sokka's father was appointed as the leader of the Southern water tribe. The northern tribe had it all already there, so they let them be.
The advisors had put up several choices as king, but none were sure yet. Toph had connections to the advisors through her father.
Aang, of course was leader of the Air people, but he had nothing to do or people to rule over. So he went around and restored each temple to its former glory. He also buried Monk Gyatso. By the time he was done, the air temples were clean enough to where people could live in them again.
By this time, all wanted to prevent another 100 year war. They couldn't figure out how to do it though, There would always be hate and grudges against what the fire nation did. They would re-write the history books and tweak schools so that the grudges wouldn't be etched in. They started mixing schools and teaching acceptance. All people wanted was peace, no more fighting.
Aang also figured out a plan that would involve all the nations. He suggested that all the nations group together in a united council. All of the leaders and their advisors would meet with each other twice a year so that the good of all the people of their nations would be thought of. At this, everyone agreed.
