Chapter 18 The Final Battle & Peace

They were an hour away from the Fire Lord. Aang was pacing. Zuko was freaking out. Sakura was meditating.

They finally got there. They took out the guards. They burst into the Fire Lord's chamber. Sakura was firebending a storm towards Ozai. When she finally calmed down, Aang challenged him to an Agni Kai in half an hour. They went to help him warm-up. Sakura, however, stayed back and started rebuking the Fire Lord on him helping her father kill her mother. The Fire Lord finally was able to get up and leave when Sakura had calmed down and left.

At the Agni Kai, Aang and Ozai were intensely in battle. Katara, Saaka, Zuko, Iroh, and Sakura were on the side cheering Aang on. It started to get really intense, and then Sakura grabbed onto Zuko's hand and squeezed it too nervous to realize it. They finally realized it and started to blush. Aang finally used his extra energy to try the move Sakura had taught him last minute. It worked, Ozai was hit in the chest and Aang used thunderbending and killed him.

Everyone cheered, except the few loyal generals. Zuko, Iroh, and Sakura met with the staff while everyone else congratulated Aang.

An hour later…………………….

Zuko, Iroh, and Sakura emerged from the meeting. The announcement of the new Fire Lord spread quickly. The ceremony was to be in a week.

Zuko in a stroke of genius got the royal families or the Water and Earth Nations to come.

Sakura, however, was in her room, sad yet happy.

Zuko walked in and asked, "What's wrong Sakura?"

"I miss Ozai, in the sense I want to kick his butt around the world." Replied Sakura, "But the thing is I'm happy the war is over. Aang will be back to normal soon, or at least as normal as his life will ever be. I wanted to kill Ozai personally, with all the dreams I had of him and my father."

"What dreams?" asked Zuko.

"They were dreams of the past. The dreams of them planning to kill my mother. Then the aftermath." replied Sakura.

Zuko said, "I'm so sorry."

Sakura felt tears coming down her cheeks. Zuko kissed her on the forehead and pulled her in for a hug.

Sakura pulled away and went outside. She went out on a walk. Zuko went after her. He said, "Sakura please meet me under the Cherry Blossom tree in fifteen minutes."

"Fine." said Sakura.

Sakura ran into Aang. She said, "Aang I need to talk to you now."

"What about?" asked Aang.

"When people told you were the last airbender they were wrong. There are two more temples. The location is in this diary, the diary of Avatars past. They supported it, after the ceremony I want you to gather them and decide what to do." Replied Sakura. "I have to go, I'm sorry."

Sakura walked away, heading toward the Cherry Blossom tree. Aang was left shocked.

Zuko asked, "Sakura will you marry me?"

Sakura stood there trying to reply but he continued, "I've always loved you and I always will."

Sakura replied, "Zuko, you love me like a sister. Your true love is right in front of you. I am meant to be alone. I am and always be. I cannot stay here. Aang needed me to beat the Fire Lord. Roku couldn't always help him since only so many times they can contact each other through the spirit world."
