A/N: This is my last battle in Avatar. Aang hold a Dying Katara in his arms and remembers. Enjoy if you can.
Devastation
No.
This was Aang's thought as a bolt flew across the room.
No. This can't be happening.
And yet it was. Aang's best friend and his greatest love was dying before him.
How could this happen?
Flashback 4 hours earlier…
The new plan was coming into place. The plan that would stop the Fire Nation once and for all. Or destroy them all in the attempt to free the world.
Sokka's newest and most inspirational plan was very complicated. And with only a handful of people to do the job, it would be tough. Zuko and Iroh would try to free the prisoners from their prison. With the help of everyone but the gaang. They would use the distraction to assault the Fire Lord's Grand Arena.
It was daring and kind of stupid, but it was all they had. The Fire Nation no longer considered the Avatar and his friends a problem. They believed that if Aang could no longer gather an army, he could never attack.
And yet here he was, flying with all his friends to victory or death. Katara, Sokka, Toph, Momo, and Appa his greatest allies, would brave the storm together. Zuko and the rest had taken the captured balloon.
The capital was now in sight. Destiny was on the horizon. This was it…
End flashback.
Death was in her eyes. Aang could feel her life draining from her body. His love, his dear friend, struck down by lightning. As the battle raged in the arena, Toph and Sokka fighting for their lives. Zuko fighting his sister. Iroh leading a gallant charge of prisoners into the fray.
And all he could do is stare…
Flashback 2 hours earlier…
Guards had been distracted by the explosion created in the prison. The Fire Lord stood from his throne and ordered his soldiers to investigate. Aang and his friends stood on the top of the open arena.
As soon as the guards had left he looked at his team. They exchanged goodbyes just in case. And with on last look at his purpose for fighting, Aang jumped into the open arena, followed by his friends. Gasps and shouts erupted from the crowd that was listening to the Fire Lord. He ordered his men to exterminate the intruders.
And the fight began.
End flashback.
Aang stared in the direction of the one who struck his friend. The Fire Lord's cold smile was all he could see through his hate. He did this. He caused this whole thing.
Flashback 5 minutes ago…
Fire flashed. Rock crashed. Water whipped. Air whistled. All through the arena cries could be heard. Fire burned the skin. Rock crushed tanks. Water was mixed in air to create a tornado of doom to all enemies.
All around men and women fell to the might of others. Confusion was their weapon. Fear was the ammunition. Death was the ultimate result.
Aang fought the Fire Lord in the greatest battle ever waged in the world. Aang had gained the advantage. Just as he was winning the villain fired a shot that missed him by inches. Aang heard a cry from behind. Katara had been hit.
No…
End Flashback.
"Aang…please listen," Katara said in a weak voice," Aang I…I…I love…you."
With those words she left him. Her spirit rose. His love was gone.
Nothing was clear anymore. Love made no difference. Only hate and anger made sense. A white light came across his body. Devastation was at hand. Revenge was the only thing he thought of. The Fire lords face was etched with fear as he rose above him.
Good. He thought. Now he will pay.
He was not himself. His anger controlled him. Hate clouded the way before him. He was ready to begin.
