Authors note: What's up guys this is The Italian here and I got a brand new story for you guys. Keep in my mind this is my first ATLA fan fiction but I have a couple legend of korra ones so go check those stories out of you want. So to basicly say what was said in the summary this is what I think should have happened after Aang defeated Ozai.
"Aghh what did you do to me" Ozai screamed and panted for air while the Avatar did the same backing away from the fire lord. Ozai was not standing though Aang had made earth chains forcing Ozai to stay on the ground not being able to move. Aang cought his breath and looked back down at the now powerless fire lord.
"I took away your bending for good" Aang stated "You can no longer cause anyone pain". Aang watched as Ozai put his head down in shame because of his loss to the Avatar. Aang looked up to see one of the war balloons from the fire lords fleet and prepared to fight the guards that came out. Aang was about to bend some earth discs to shoot at the balloon but he had the sharpest pain in his chest coming from his heart. He clenched his chest and fell onto his knees the pain was unbearable and it forced him to hold his eyes shut.
"Is there something wrong Avatar?" Aang opened his eyes and saw the Ozai smiling at him evilly knowing that there was some sort of pain with the Avatar."You better hurry and get well before my guards get here and dispose of you" the fire lord said mocking Aang.
Aang got off of his knees because the balloon had landed right next to him and the fire lord. The ramp came down from the side of the balloon and Aang wasted no Time getting in front of the ramp waiting for any guards. After a minute of waiting nothing was happening and Aang was getting suspicious 'where are all of the guards' 'why isn't anyone coming out' Aang was thinking to himself the whole time.
Aang waited another couple of minutes and by then he was frustrated until finally "Whoever you are come out now and face me" Aang yelled in a serious tone "I am through playing games". Aang started to hear footsteps and took a defensive stance waiting for who ever was going to walk off of the that ramp. The footsteps got closer and closer until three figures walked around the corner and started to make their way off of the ramp. When Aang saw them he immediately put his hands down because he knew the three people.
It was Sokka, Suki and Toph. Suki and Toph both had one of Sokkas arm around their shoulders while Sokka was hopping on his right leg and holding his left one in the air obviously stating that he had hurt his left leg. Suki and Sokka smiled when they saw Aang.
"Aang buddy it's good to see you" Sokka said slapping him on the back. That caused Aang to stumble and almost fall backwards but luckily a stone pillar came up from behind and saved him from falling.
"Easy there snoozles Aang is still tired from fighting the fire lord" Toph said.
Suki noticed the fire lord strapped to the ground by earth restraints and let go of Sokkas arm letting him stand up by himself from his sword case. Suki walked over to the fire lord whose head was down and looked at him.
"Did you know finish the job?" Suki asked pointing her finger at the fire lord. Suki didn't notice him pick his head up."No I'm not dead" the fire lord said with a very angry tone in his voice.
"No I couldn't bring myself to kill him but I took his bending away, forever". All three of them stared at Aang in shock at what they just heard.'There is no way anyone can take a persons bending away forever right?' Sokka asked himself but then he remembered that he is the Avatar and crazy stuff like that happens all the time.
"Who taught you how to do that?" Suki asked also still in shock at what Aang had just told him.
Aang took a deep breath because he knew that he had to tell them the whole story. He began by telling them how when he left the island he slept walked to an abandoned island. After that he said he talked to his past lives saying that he didn't want to kill the fire lord and asked if there was another way to stop him. Aang then told them that his past lives had nothing to tell him besides that he had to kill the fire lord. Fortunately for Aang the island was a giant turtle lion and when he talked to him the wise animal showed him how to energy end which could take people's bending away forever.
As Aang finished his story he saw the expressions on all of his friends face and it kind of wanted to make him laugh."You go on the craziest adventures by yourself twinkle toes" Toph said breaking the silence between her friends
"Alright now we have to get to the rendezvous point" Sokka said reminding his friends. Aang was confused "what rendezvous spot?" he asked.
"Oh yeah that's right you ran off before we made a plan" Suki said walking back over to her friends "Katara and Zuko went to the fire nation and fight Azula we are supposed to meet them there".
"wha- what?" Aang said incredibly shocked "You let Katara and Zuko go to the fire nation all by themselves". Aangs mind was racing with thoughts 'What if Zuko gets hurt or worse Katara' Aang couldn't stand the thought of Katara getting hurt because he had feelings for her and wanted to always be with her.
"Don't worry Aang if I know my sister and that crazy firebender they will be fine" Sokka said trying to calm down the young airbender.
"Come on Aang we are going to go meet up with them" Sokka said walking towards the ramp "oh and Toph don't forget the loser lord over there" Sokka said laughing and wiping away a tear from his laughter.
Aang was watched as Toph walked over to Ozai and bended the restraints away to let him stand up. Toph quickly got more earth and used them as handcuffs around the ex fire lords wrist. Suki and Sokka was walking up the ramp with Toph on their tale. Aang was the last one to walk, he was looking out over the horizon knowing that this war is finally over. But for some reason he wasn't feeling good and started to get those sharp pains in his chest again. He quickly clenched his chest and felt like his heart was going to explode.
Aang knew something bad was going to happen and started to walk after his friends. Aang tried to warn them of his pains but every time he tried to speak nothing came out so he hoped that one of them would turn around and notice.
Suki and Sokka were talking about the battle they just survived when Toph who was in front of them stopped. They both noticed this "Toph is there something wrong?" Suki asked cautiously. Toph felt someone's heartbeat out of place. First she went to Sokkas and nothing was out of the ordinary. Then she felt Suki's heartbeat and it was a little fast but that's because of her worried state. Finally it was onto Aang she felt his heartbeat and it wasn't good Toph felt his heart slowing down and close to stopping.
"There is something wrong with Aangs heartbeat" Toph said quickly. Sokka and Suki turned around immediately.
Aang was walking towards the ramp he felt his eyes get heavy and his heart was causing ten times the pain it originally did. Aang looked up to see Sokka and Suki looking at Aang with a frown on their face.
"Plea- please- tell Katara I -" Aang couldn't get his sentence out before he fell to the ground and dropped his airbender necklace. Suki opened her eyes in shock and let go of Sokka running towards the fallen airbender. Suki knelt down to the airbender he had fallen on his stomach and by the time she picked up his necklace Sokka made his way next to her girlfriend and also got on his good knee.
"What's wrong with him?" Suki asked looking for injuries that could have caused this but found nothing that would cause Aang to drop to the floor unconscious.
Sokka was also checking Aangs body and had no luck finding any major injuries that would cause him to do this. They flipped Aang over onto his back and saw a blank expression. Sokka moved his hand towards Aangs neck to check his pulse.
"Do you feel any pulse?" Suki asked scared to know the answer from Sokka.
Sokka moved his fingers around until finally he felt a pulse but it was the weakest and most faint pulse Sokka has ever felt before. Sokka removed his hand from Aangs neck and looked up at Suki."He is alive but his pulse is really weak" Sokka said with concern in his tone "we need to get him to Katara so she can heal him".
Suki nodded in agreement and they both picked up Aang and carried him up the ramp when Sokka saw it.
It was two war balloons that had survived the fleet attack. Sokka gasped in shock and looked at Suki. They both knew without saying that they need to hurry and get to the fire nation.
The two had reached a room that was right next to the bridge. They quickly put down Aang and covered him in a blanket and Sokka practically ran out of the room towards the bridge right down the hall. Suki was right behind him but she stopped and looked back at Aang "Don't worry Aang we will get you to Katara and everything will be alright" Suki said closing the door behind her and ran after her boyfriend easily catching up to him because of his still broken leg. Suki kicked open the door of the bridge while Sokka was right behind her following. They saw Toph sitting on a chair playing with her meteor space bracelet.
"Is everything alright with Aang" Toph said feeling the two run into the room.
"Yes he is fine but they are two fire nation war balloons coming after us" Sokka said running towards the start up button "We have to get him to my sister so she can figure out what's wrong with him and heal him".
"But we can't just go into the fire nation with them following us Katara and Zuko will just think that we are the enemy" Toph said noticing that whole in his plan.
"That's true but how do we warn them before we get there" Sokka asked himself finally getting the balloon off of the ground and into the air towards the fire nation.
Everyone was thinking of a way until "Oh I know we can send a messenger hawk to Zuko and tell them our problem" Suki said looking at her boyfriend for his approval.
"That will work, but who will write the letter" Sokka said.
"I will gladly do it while ou steer the ship" Suki said taking out a piece of paper and ink. Sokka nodded his head in agreement and he took control of the wheel while Suki went to the message center and started to write the letter. About ten minutes later she finished and let the paper dry for 5 minutes before taking out a hawk and putting the paper in its pouch. Suki whispered Zuko and his position to the hawk and the hawk immediately flew off of Sukis arm into the mid day sky.
Suki ran back up to the bridge to see just Sokka in it."Where is Toph?" Suki asked curiously. Sokka turned around from the wheel and said "she is our cannon right now defending our balloon from any fire whip or blast".
Suki let out a sigh of relief and stress and Sokka immediately realized that form of sigh."What's wrong beautiful?" Sokka asked Suki putting his arm around her body and she rested his hand on her shoulder.
Suki took a deep breath and said "I hope Aang makes it, Katara has told me how much she loves him and it would destroy her of Aang died tonight". Sokkas arm tightened around Suki's side and pulled her in closer.
"Don't worry about that if I know Aang he will survive this and we can all have a laugh about it later" Sokka said trying to lighten her mood and to his pleasure it did.
"Thank you Sokka you always know how to make me fell better".
"Yes it seems that I do, but I hope that they get our message before we get there because they might shoot us down if they see three war balloons chasing them". Sokka said placing a kiss in her temple.
"I love you so much Sokka" Suki said kissing him passionately on his lips.
"And I love you to Suki".
