CHAPTER 2

Previously, on Avatar:

Aang ran to the Firelord's chamber Toph at his heals, "I need to do this alone!"

Zuko broke free and ran out a door, Aang right behind.

"I never did understand why you had joined us. I thought you had really changed…"

that's when they heard a scream.

"Katara? KATARA!?" Aang couldn't believe it...

Aang stepped out of the hole carrying Katara in a kind of air-cradle. He set her on the floor gently and walked calmly over to Azula.
