Iroh sprung instantly to the attack. Crossing the foot bridge, Iroh fired blast after blast. Zhao blocked one blast and backed away while Iroh expertly dispatched Zhao's four guards. Zhao looked on in horror as his men are wiped out by the aging General with such ease and precision and quickly fled. Iroh then carefully reached into the water, and pulled out the moon spirit.
"There's no hope now. It's over" Yue said, sadly.
Suddenly Aang's tattoo's started to glow and he stepped forward, obviously in the Avatar state.
"No, it's not over" He told them, his voice mixed with the other Avatar's.
He walked into the water, and then when it started to glow, he disappeared, making them all gasp. The water in the pool around the oasis itself began to glow a deep blue, veined with white. The glow spread from behind the citadel to encompass the entire citadel area of the city. They looked on with wonder at the awesome power coming to life before them. A huge, incandescent blue wave rushed under the footbridge as if some huge creature were moving underneath it. Appa stood on the oasis, but he was dwarfed by the creature that rises from the pool, the citadel and the city visible beyond it. The blue, white veined creature was a fish like being and at its centre was a blue white bubble in which Aang could be seen, who spread his arms wide. A moment later, the creature duplicated the motion. The Ocean Spirit towered over the citadel, it's arms still spread wide, it's blue spirit lighting the city like a beacon. The Spirit began to move down into the city. Master Pakku and his waterbenders instantly bowed to the floor in honour of their god. Across the canal, some Fire Nation soldiers raised their spears in defiance, but were swept away by a wall of water sent by the Ocean Spirit. Aang inside the body of the Ocean Spirit, was directing the power of the Ocean Spirit against the violators of the Moon Spirit and the Water Tribe City. Fire Nation tanks fired at the Ocean Spirit, but they were absorbed with no effect. The soldiers and tanks were washed away as if they were toys. The Ocean Spirit passed by the Water Tribe citizens, not seeing them as a threat. By now the Fire Nation army was in full retreat, trying desperately to escape the vengeance of a living Spirit. The Ocean Spirit reached the main canal in front of the third wall and melted into it.
"It's too late. It's dead" Katara announced, as Iroh placed the fish back into the pond.
"There must be something we can do…" Kahlee trailed off.
"You have been touched by the moon spirit. Some of its life is in you" Iroh informed Yue.
"Yes, you're right! It gave me life, maybe I can give it back" Yue suggested, as she stood up.
"No! You don't have to do that" Sokka insisted.
"It's my duty, Sokka" Yue told him.
"I won't let you. Your father told me to protect you" Sokka exclaimed, grabbing her hand.
"I have to do this" She whispered, pulling her hand away.
She then kneeled down and touched the moon spirit, as it started to glow. She then fell to the ground with a sigh, Sokka catching her just in time.
"No!" He cried, as he touched her cheek.
"She's gone…she's gone" He repeated, sadly.
Kahlee watched this, a tear falling down her cheek, which she quickly brushed away. She was amazed that someone so young could be so brave.
The Fire Navy ships still tried desperately to flee. The incandescent blue of the Ocean Spirit flowed out past the city wall in front of the Fire Navy fleet. The Ocean Spirit reformed and, towered over the fleet, and reached out. It pushed two ships back out to sea at an amazing speed. The Ocean Spirit made a slicing motion which cut through the bridge tower of Zhao's flagship. The cut section slid down to the foredeck and the ship's forward trebuchet was wrecked. The Spirit raised its arms, once again and formed a huge wave which upended many vessels and pushed the rest far out to sea.
Suddenly, Yue's body disappeared from Sokka's arms, shocking them all. Iroh dropped the now alive moon spirit into the pond, as a figure started to glow above. It was Yue.
"Goodbye Sokka. I will always be with you" Yue announced, as she kissed Sokka, and then disappeared.
Meanwhile, the Ocean Spirit was still stood at the city walls. It looked up to see the moon alive once again and instantly, Aang began to wilt inside the creature, which dissipated into the ocean. The Spirit's essence flowed back to the wall and deposited Aang atop it. There his glow left him as he put his hand to the side of his head, spent with the effort.
A few moments later, still no one had said anything, still too in shock from everything that had happened. Kahlee was the first to stand and put her hand on Sokka's shoulder.
"I'm sorry for your loss" She exclaimed, as he nodded.
"Take care" She told them, as she and Iroh started to walk away.
"I'll find us some transportation" Iroh stated.
"And I'll find Zuko" She replied, wandering off.
She soon found Zuko and Zhao duelling on a nearby bridge and smiled when she saw Zuko was winning.
"It can't be!" Zhao cried, as he saw the moon was back in the sky.
A moment later, a glowing hand of water shot out from under the bridge, grabbing Zhao.
"Take my hand" Zuko cried, but Zhao refused and was pulled under.
Kahlee then approached, placing a hand on Zuko's shoulder in comfort.
"Kal!" He exclaimed, happily, as he pulled her into a tight hug.
"I'm glad you're okay" She smiled, pulling away.
Zuko then looked sadly back down into the water, where Zhao had disappeared.
"He made his choice. It's not your fault" Kahlee insisted.
"I know" Zuko sighed.
"C'mon, Iroh's getting us some transport. It's probably best that we don't stay around here any longer" Kahlee stated, pulling him along.
They soon found Iroh getting a raft ready for them, and set off into the sea.
"I'm surprised Prince Zuko. I'm surprised that you are not at this moment, trying to capture the Avatar" Iroh suggested, as he sorted out the sail.
"I'm tired" Zuko replied.
"Then you should rest. A man needs his rest" Iroh told him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Zuko then leaned back, his head resting in Kahlee's lap and closed his eyes.
