Greetings once again readers. It's finally here. The final chapter. I cant believe it only took a little over a month to complete 36 chapters of this story. I hope you all enjoyed the long run of chapters as much as I did. I may make a sequal, but only if I get a some reviews requesting it and see that this story wasn't a complete failure. Anyways, I'll let you get to the chapter. I hope you enjoy the last chapter, and please remember to review.
Azula began attacking Katara and Jet after she struck down Zuko with lightning. Katara had tried to go help Zuko, but Azula kept her from him. "Zuzu you don't look so well." Azula stated sarcastically as she continued attacking Katara and Jet.
Katara eventually lured Azula over to a grate, freezing her and Azula with the water that had been below before chaining her to the grate, unfreezing them as she ran to help Zuko.
"Grandson, you've become sadistic and warped like your grandfather." Maiya roared as she and Aang chased after the Phoenix King.
The two eventually knocked Ozai down to a pillar, Aang pinning Ozai down by closing earth cuffs over his hands. "Fire Lord Ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of the world, and now you shall pay the ultimate price!" Aang's many voices boomed furiously as Maiya stood opposite him, looking down at her grandson with a disappointed look.
Aang began summoning the Elemental Ribbons attack and was about to kill Ozai, when suddenly he exited the Avatar State, Kama following suit as she returned to normal. "No, I'm not going to end it like this." Aang stated as he turned his back to Ozai, Kama moving to stand behind him, but beside Ozai.
"Even with all the power in the world you are still weak!" Ozai roared as he summoned lightning quickly, moving to strike Aang as the lightning was shot.
There was a bright light as the airbender went flying, pillars crashing to the ground as the airbender fell, beneath the stone.
Aang gasped as he turned around, Kama gone as he cuffed Ozai to the ground, moving to take the Phoenix King's bending.
Aang began to bend the energy within Ozai as he was engulfed in a blinding blue light, the Lion Turtles words echoing in his mind. His blue light was almost engulfed by Ozai's red light, before he took control, engulfing Ozai with light as the light shot through the skies, Aang taking Ozai's ability to firebend.
"What...what did you do to me?" Ozai questioned weakly as Aang released him from the earth cuffs.
"I took away your firebending. You cant use it to hurt or threaten anyone else ever again." Aang announced before his attention left Ozai, turning to put out the fires raging nearby by waterbending water in from the ocean that was miles away.
"You may...you may have taken my firebending...but I took your Vala." Ozai stated with a laugh at the idea as Aang's eyes widened in horror, turning towards the pile of fallen earth pillars before he leaped from the pillar he had been on, sending the pillars flying as he ran to his fallen Vala.
Aang dropped to his knees beside Kama's unconscious form, seeing the sizzling cloths and tearing at them to get to where she had been stuck, tears prickling at his eyes as he hoped he could save the women he loved. His heart dropped when he saw she was struck in the chest with the lightning. "Kama, no no no!" Aang roared angrily as the tears began to flow.
Suki landed the hijacked airship near where Ozai had fallen. "Wait, where's Aang?" Sokka asked as Toph and Suki helped him walk.
"You shouldn't have taken the bolt for me. You shouldn't have fought Ozai for me, done anything!" Aang roared in pain as he dropped his head to Kama's chest, hearing the faint beat of his Vala's heart and wishing he had spirit water to help and try and save her life.
"He's down there!" Suki pointed out before her face dropped. "Oh no." Suki stated before Sokka's eyes followed, seeing the fallen Vala.
"We have to help her!" Sokka announced as Ozai laughed weakly behind them.
"I struck her down with the help of Sozin's comet, she's not going to be seeing any of you ever again." Ozai stated before Toph hit him upside the head with a block of earth.
Aang pulled any source of water he could towards him, ripping away Kama's clothing as he tried to heal Kama, keep her alive. "Please, Kama I need you. Don't die on me." Aang whimpered as he tried to heal Kama.
Suki, Toph and Sokka quickly got down to Aang to see him still trying to heal Kama, using any source of water he could now as he begged Kama to stay with him. "Aang..." Sokka tried to reason but Aang brushed him off quickly, ignoring the three behind him.
"I won't let you die Kama. You saved my life once, now it's my turn." Aang groaned as he used one hand to heal her, the other cupping the unconscious face of his Vala. "I love you Kama, please." Aang begged as he dropped his head onto Kama's chest.
"Aang, stop." Sokka tried to reason as he knelt down beside the heartbroken Avatar.
"Go get Katara. Please just, get someone!" Aang begged as he turned to his friends, tears still streaming down his face before they left to get help.
"What we need is spirit water." Toph stated as they got back onto the airship to go get Katara.
"I don't think we have enough time to even get spirit water." Suki said sadly as the airship took off.
"Why did you take the lightning for me? Oh Kama, please don't die." Aang begged as he let his tears flow onto Kama's wound, listening for Kama's faint heart beat.
Time seemed to freeze for Kama when she saw Ozai summon the lightning. She couldn't let Aang be struck. "I won't let him die." Kama muttered before throwing herself in front of the strike of lightning, being sent flying through five pillars before she hit the ground. "I love him too much to let him die." Was Kama's last words before she hit the ground and the pillars fell on her.
Aang frowned sadly as he cupped Kama's face in his hands. "Kama, I love you. I cant lose you." Aang whined before pressing his lips to Kama's, wishing she could kiss him back and show she was still conscious.
Aang moved over beside a fallen pillar, dragging Kama up so her head was on his lap as his left hand continued trying to heal her, the right stroking her hair as he wished Katara would hurry up and get there.
Aang finally lost his temper and was going to take Kama back himself when he noticed her eyes flutter slightly, hearing a weak moan escape her lips as he dropped down beside her, making sure not to stop his healing methods for fear her heart might stop. "Oh spirits, Kama, please talk to me." Aang begged before Kama groaned in pain.
Kama's eyes opened to see Aang in front of her, feeling his hand on her chest as she realized he was the only thing keeping her alive. "Aang?" Kama questioned weakly as she watched tears stream down Aang's face.
"Oh Kama." Aang whined as he saw the pain in Kama's eyes, trying his best to heal her quickly.
"Aang...how?" Kama questioned as Aang cupped her face with his free hand, trying to keep her alive with the other.
"I wont let you die Kama. I cant." Aang whined sadly as Kama looked up at him sympathetically.
"Aang, I jumped in the way for a reason. I knew...one of us was going to go down." Kama stated as pain shot through her from the lightning striking her chest.
"No...no neither of us have to. We'll both live, and we'll stay together. I'll make sure no one ever hurts you." Aang swooned softly as tears began to fall from Kama's own eyes now.
"Aang, you and I both know that when your hand...leaves my wound, I won't have long." Kama grumbled as Aang laid down beside her, pulling the Vala to his chest as his healing methods continued.
"Then I'll never stop. I'll keep you alive, and you'll live to be as old as Yung was." Aang cooed sweetly as Kama smiled softly at him.
"I wish I could. I wish... that I could watch you try and grow a beard, or..." Aang silenced Kama as he gently pressed his lips to Kama's, tears streaming and intermingling with Kama's own.
"Kama, I won't want to live knowing I let you die. I cant live if you've died. I need you." Aang whined as Kama's head fell onto his chest, hearing his heart beating erratically from the events that were taking place. "I don't want to be in a world like this without you." Aang moaned sadly as his free hand took Kama's own tightly.
"Aang, no amount of healing is going to fix the damage permanently." Kama explained weakly as her free hand went over Aang's own that was healing her injury.
"I already asked Sokka to go get Katara. You're going to live Kama. Just, please hang on." Aang plead as his lips tried to catch Kama's again to show her he loved her more than anything.
"Aang...I...I love you." Kama muttered weakly before her head fell back, eyes shutting again as Aang's eyes widened in horror.
"Kama? Kama!" Aang yelled for his Vala as he tried harder to keep Kama alive.
The rest of the group arrived quickly and Jet and Zuko had to drag Aang thrashing and screaming from Kama as Katara tried to help. Katara enlisted Suki to help drag the dying Vala onto the airship as they began to head back to the royal palace, White Lotus sentries that had come with them getting Ozai and taking him with them.
"Aang, you have to let Katara help her now. You've tried everything you could." Sokka tried to reason as Jet and Zuko held him down.
"I love her! I cant just sit here and do nothing!" Aang yelled back as he struggled in the grip of the two men behind him.
"I've done all I can do. I don't know what else to do. I would be able to help more if I had spirit water." Katara stated as she looked down at Kama sadly, not wanting to lose another friend to the war.
Aang finally pulled from the grip of his friends and blew the doors open to Kama's room, walking in and kneeling down beside her bed, hands wrapping tightly around her own. "Please Kama, I love you, don't die." Aang whined as his friends watched sadly from the door.
"I never thought things would turn out like this." Jet mumbled before turning to leave, Katara following him due to the pain of watching the heartbroken Avatar.
Aang slept in Kama's room that night, having only gotten a few hours of sleep due to his worry. He had been sleeping with his head against Kama's bed when Katara came back in, Pakku beside her. "Aang, I've got some spirit water." Katara announced as Aang woke up, jumping up and running to her to get the special water.
"Then let me have it! I have to be the one to do this." Aang stated as Pakku handed over a small vile of the spirit oasis water. Aang ran back to Kama's side and quickly tore at the bandages that kept him from her injury as he began to bend the spirit water around his hand.
"Aang, you have to be patient." Katara tried to explain as Aang ignored her, intent on saving the life of his Vala.
Aang worked on his method for almost an hour when the water was absorbed into Kama's skin. "Wait...no!" Aang whined as he moved to go get more spirit water but Pakku stopped him.
"That is all that is needed to save a life. That is what Katara had when she healed you. It doesn't come back after you heal someone." Pakku explained before ushering Aang out of the room, believing he needed to get away from the room for a bit.
Aang frowned as he walked around the royal palace. Zuko's coronation was in a few days, he had already announced the end of the war, Aang not having been with him since he was with Kama. He was expected at the coronation though, but he didn't want to be without his Vala. He tried to go back to see Kama a few hours later, but Pakku refused to let him in. "But I love her! I cant be left in the dark about how she is!" Aang snapped as his heart throbbed in pain.
"Go rest. She is under surveillance by some of the best healers." Pakku stated before Aang was sent off to his room.
Pakku and Katara refused to let Aang see Kama for the next few days and Aang frowned slightly before attending the coronation of Fire Lord Zuko. "I'm happy for you." Aang stated with a forced smile, unable to smile sincerely due to worry racking his mind.
After Zuko was crowned Katara walked up to Aang as he adjusted his new Air Nation robes. "We have a surprise for you Aang." Katara stated as Toph grinned beside her.
"Please no surprises." Aang whined before watching as Jet and Sokka appeared out of the doors of the royal palace, a familiar face holding onto each of their arms as Aang's eyes widened in shock before he ran to her, wrapping his arms around Kama tightly as the Vala winced.
"I'm still injured here." Kama advised before Aang let go with a sheepish smile.
"I'm just happy to see you're alive." Aang explained quietly as Kama smiled softly, Aang helping her over to somewhere to sit down as he sat with her.
"I have you to thank for that." Kama stated as she leaned against her Avatar's shoulder gently as he smiled down at her.
"Never take a bolt of lightning to the chest for me ever again." Aang stated as Kama chuckled slightly at the statement.
"Only when I'm being helped by Maiya." Kama joked before laughing as Aang glared warningly at her.
"I don't want to risk losing you again." Aang grumbled quietly as his hand wrapped protectively around Kama's hand.
"Don't worry, you're stuck with me now for another century, since you think we'll live to be as old as Yung and Kyoshi." Kama stated with a warm smile as her head rested on Aang's shoulder again.
"Or maybe even older than that." Aang crooned softly as Kama chuckled softly beside him.
"They look good together, don't you think?" Jet asked as he stood beside Katara, glad to see the Vala was alive.
"Yeah, they do. I'm just glad that we were able to keep her alive." Katara stated as Jet wrapped an arm around the waterbenders waist.
"You did a good job, Katara." Jet stated with a warm smile down at the waterbending master.
The team stayed at the royal palace for a few more days before deciding to go to Ba Sing Se to see Iroh and how his tea shop was doing. The group sat in Iroh's living room as the man prepared tea for everyone. "Jasmine tea, my dear grandmother?" Iroh asked in a teasing manner as Kama chuckled from where she sat beside Kage.
"I think I know where you got your love of tea now. But don't call me grandmother. It makes me feel old." Kama stated as Zuko laughed at her.
"Well you are technically a hundred and twelve." Zuko stated as he moved to stand beside the Vala.
"Zuko stop moving! I'm trying to capture the moment. I wanted to do a painting, so we always remember the good times together." Sokka stated before gagging and giving an Oogies comment as he watched Katara peck Jet on the cheek. "I'm not capturing that!" Sokka warned as he continued working.
"That's very thoughtful of you Sokka." Katara stated as she moved to look at the painting. She then dawned a annoyed expression at the sight. "Wait, why did you give me Momo's ears?" Katara questioned angrily as she looked down at the portrait.
"Those are your hair loopies!" Sokka argued quickly as everyone else came to see what he had done to the painting.
Aang smiled happily as he played with Momo, Kage pouncing Momo as he wanted to play too.
"And why did you paint me firebending?" Suki questioned as Kama laughed at the painting.
"I thought it would look more exciting that way." Sokka argued with all the critics as Kama's laughter subsided.
"What's that on my chest?" Kama questioned angrily as Sokka pointed to the thing on her chest.
"Those are your bandages!" Sokka exclaimed before Kama tried to hurt him.
Aang smiled before he walked out onto the balcony, looking out over the city.
"Well I think you all look great!" Toph stated happily as everyone laughed at the statement.
Kama turned to see Aang on the balcony, smiling slightly as she followed him, walking up beside her Avatar.
Aang turned to Kama with a smile before she hugged him tightly, arms going around his neck as he made sure to avoid her still bandaged chest, arms wrapping around her waist.
"Maybe now I'll give you that chance to try and prove there's something between us." Kama whispered quietly in Aang's ear before they parted, Aang smiling warmly at her before Kama leaned in, letting their lips connect in their first real kiss as a couple.
"I love you Kama." Aang cooed softly as their lips parted, eyes locked as Kama leaned her forehead against his.
"I love you too Aang." Kama cooed back before Aang connected their lips once more, pulling Kama to him tightly, never wanting to let his Vala go ever again.
Hurray for a happy ending! I at least got to use my idea for Kama, that's what I'm happy about. I hope you all enjoyed the final chapter of this story as much as I did writing it for all of you. There may be a sequal, but only if I get enough people asking for one or enough reviews on this story, since I've only 32 so far on this one. Anyways, thanks for reading and staying with me for the whole story. I enjoyed every moment of writing this story for all of you. Thanks to those of you that reviewed, and until next time, keep reading!
