I don't own Avatar or any related material

Chapter 7

"So, I guess the next time I'll see you guys it'll be after the war." Aang said cheerfully.

"I'll be the new fire lord." Zuko said

"The earth kingdom will be safe from the fire nation burning the land." Sokka said

The gang parted ways with Aang riding his glider to the spot where he would meet the fire lord. Zuko and Katara rode on Appa toward the fire nation. Sokka, Toph, and Azula rode on an animal (AN The same animal that Sokka, Suki, and Toph rode in the show, but I can't remember the name of it) toward the fleet of fire nation ships that were given orders to burn the land as soon as the comet came and gave them more power.

With Zuko and Katara

"I hope you're ready to fight Katara." Zuko said

"Why?" Katara asked

"There's someone waiting for us." Zuko said as they landed.

"Where is Azula?" Korra asked

"She's not here." Zuko said

"So leave now." Katara added

"I don't understand why she isn't here. She's supposed to be here to fight you for the throne." Korra said

"We agreed that I would take the throne." Zuko said

"Agreed? What do you mean agreed? Where is she?" Korra asked

"I'm not telling you. Now get out of my palace." Zuko said

"Look I'm not here to fight. I just want to know why things are different from what I know them to be." Korra said

"What do you mean?" Katara asked

"Azula is supposed to be here. She is supposed to challenge Zuko to Agni Kai. She was supposed to shoot lightning at Katara and Zuko is supposed to block it. Katara is then supposed to defeat Azula by herself. What's going on here?" Korra asked

"I can explain that." A voice called out from behind Korra

"Who's there?" Zuko said as he stepped forward

"It's me." Zuko's mom said as she walked out from the shadows.

"Mom?" Zuko asked as Korra and Katara looked in shock

"Yes my son." Ursa said

"But you aren't supposed to meet your mother until after the war." Korra said

"It's all because of you, Korra, that this is happening." Ursa said

"What do you mean?" Korra asked

"I was near when you first returned to the past. I was able to read your mind and knew that my daughter's life was going the wrong way and that it would be my fault. I also found out that you planned to meet her after she returned from Ember Island. I headed there and placed thoughts in her head that her evil wasn't true. I made her think that all this has been her acting out for my attention. The message sunk in and she changed." Ursa said

"But just because she's changed doesn't mean that her child won't kill my master." Korra said as she ran and hopped over the wall.

"Aren't we going after her?" Katara asked

"No, she's not important. History is different from what she remembers. She doesn't know where Azula is. Besides she isn't alone, so Korra wouldn't be a problem if she was found." Zuko explained

"But didn't your uncle say that he heard about a dangerous bender going around beating people without using her bending. If Korra is that good, don't you think Azula will need help?" Katara asked

"Korra has Sokka and Toph with her. Besides she's no pushover herself. Korra won't have it easy fighting them all. And Aang won't be too far away, so he can help if he beats dad early." Zuko said

"Well right now that's not important. What's important is my son introducing me to this young lady and then preparing for his Coronation." Ursa said

"Mom where have been all this time? I thought you were dead." Zuko asked

"I was banished just like you. I moved into an earth kingdom village and lived there until my encounter with Korra." Ursa said

With Aang and the fire lord

Aang noticed that the fire nation ships were all falling to the ground. He smiled at now it was his turn to fight.

"Do you really think you can beat me Avatar? From what I've heard you've been hibernating for 100 years. While you were sleeping I was training and getting stronger. There's no way you can beat me with only months of experience, even with all the elements." Ozai gloated

"I won't lose. Today you pay for all your crimes. Today the wars ends with your defeat." Aang said as he was now finish with talking

Ozai charged at Aang and slammed a line of fire from his foot onto the rock that Aang was standing on. Aang blocked with a straight up gust of air. Aang then hit a back flip and kicked the rock that he was standing on at Ozai. Ozai smirked and rocketed away with a blow of fire from his other foot. He then used his hand to send a fire slice at Aang. Aang landed on another rock and created a shield to block the fire from two nearby rocks. They were then fired at Ozai, who broke them with a fire punch. Ozai landed on the same rock as Aang and they entered into close range bending combat. Ozai attempted to hit Aang with fire while Aang blocked and tried to hit Ozai with his air.

Ozai, who was tired of the pointless part of the battle, curled into a ball and then jumped straight up to send out a ball of fire that would increase in size. Aang jumped back and placed air all around himself, but it didn't help much. Ozai stopped holding back and his fire was getting stronger. Aang shot fireballs at Ozai, but Ozai blocked them all easily with his hand.

Aang growled because he knew that Firebending wouldn't work and his other two elements were two weak. Aang used his Firebending to propel himself toward the water behind him. As he landed Ozai appeared in front of him and shot a continuous blast of fire at Aang, who was caught off guard and formed an earth ball around himself. Aang was getting scared and he couldn't see any way out of it. His only trump card was unusable at the moment.

The fire pushed the earth ball into the rock behind it. The pointy end of the rock hit Aang right in the spot where Azula shot him with lightning. The after effect caused the Avatar cycle to be fixed and instantly entered Aang in the avatar state. Aang, from then on dominated the fight, while Ozai was attempting to escape. Aang's fluid use of all four elements kept Ozai on his toes and prevented his counterattack.

Ozai landed on a big rock and Aang landed behind him.

"Get away from me you freak." Ozai said in fear. Aang used his Earthbending hold down Ozai's arms and legs. Aang then dropped his avatar state.

"You won't hurt anyone else anymore." Aang said as he prepared to use his special move that he learned from Roku the night before.

1 day later

"Your new Fire lord, Zuko!" Lo and Li yelled to the crowd of applauding Water tribe, Earth kingdom, Swamp benders, Kyoshi warriors, and Fire nation.

Zuko stepped out and smiled down.

"Thanks, but the real hero is the Avatar!" Zuko said as Aang stepped out behind Zuko. Zuko was wearing the standard fire lord outfit, while Aang was wearing a traditional Air nomad outfit for special occasions. He had it made when he returned to see Zuko.

They stood side by side then hugged each other in a show of brotherly love.
