Aang entered the water of the Spirit Oasis. The others looked on. Aang stood in a meditative stance as Tui circled him. Aang and Tui joined as the latter's eyes lit up. Aang descended into the water. White lightning-like energy expanded from the oasis island and the moon into the water. The oasis began to light up in the same silver color. Katara and the others were watching. The energy moved to the edge of the oasis, rising up to form a giant amphibious-like creature, facing out toward the sea, with Aang in the center, controlling it. The Fire Nation soldiers in the city looked on at this creature's sudden appearance. Aang moved past a river, Fire Nation soldiers on one side, Pakku and his group on the other. The Water Tribe all bowed down as the Fire Nation soldiers prepared to attack. Aang, controlling the massive creature, began to head to the ocean, laying waste to any Fire Nation soldiers on the way.

Back at the oasis, Iroh placed the dead koi fish in the water.

"It's too late, it's dead." Katara said.

Iroh noticed Khione. "You have been touched by the Ocean Spirit. Some of its life is in you."

"Yes, you're right. It gave me life, maybe I can give it back." Khione said.

"No! You don't have to do that." Zuko came out of hiding to stop her.

Katara and Sokka looked surprised, but tolerated Zuko for the time being.

"It's my duty, Zuko." Khione said firmly.

"I won't let you!" Zuko lunged for her, but Iroh caught him and held him back. "I...wanted to free you!"

Khione locked eyes with him one last time and said. "Free yourself, Zuko."

Khione then placed her hands on the dead fish. She began to glow, and the scales fell from her arms, and a current of glowing blue silver water pulled from her body. As it left her, her eyes turned crimson, her hair turned black, she closed her eyes, exhaled one last time, and collapsed into Zuko's arms, dead.

The fish, suddenly filled with life, glowed as Iroh placed it gently in the oasis. As the fish began to swim, the oasis glowed as well, and the ocean surged, restoring the waterbenders' abilities.

Aang and La, in the meantime, were laying waste to the Fire Nation's soldiers and navy, and made their way to the ocean, destroying ships as they go. As the ocean surged, the Moon Spirit acknowledged the ocean's restoration and, ending its violent vendetta, placed Aang atop the outer wall as it moved back through the Water Tribe city.

Zhao was trying to escape, and saw that the ocean had returned.

Zhao shouted, "It can't be!"

Without warning, the Moon Spirit, taking the form of a giant hand, seized Zhao and began to pick him up. He was pulled beneath the water, where he disappeared from view.

Aang returned to the Oasis where Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and Iroh are gathered around the deceased Queen.

"No!" Zuko shouted. "I won't let it end this way!"

He pulled free from his uncle and to Khione's side.

"Khione," Zuko said softly. "W-We have the same inner fire; you and me. I'm going to ignite your light!"

Zuko breathed in deep, using his breath of fire, then leaned in and used that same breath of fire to breath into Khione's lungs, locking lips with hers.

Aang, Katara, and Zuko watched in shock.

Iroh just smiled to himself. "I taught him that."

The three looked at Iroh incredulously.

After a long, deep kiss, Khione's eyes opened. They were now crimson, and her long hair was ebony black.

"Queen Khione..." Zuko said formally, rather embarrassed.

"No," Khione said. "It's just Kurai now."
