This is my first time doing a fanfic/story ever, so please don't be harsh. This is a oneshot if anyone was wondering and please enjoy.

Summary: Aang has trouble talking about Sozin's Comet.


It was a week before Sozin's Comet and Katara was handing out dinner to Sokka, Suki and Toph when when Aang and Zuko came walking in looking somber.

"Aang is something wrong?" Katara asked in her motherly way.

"No, everything is fine" Aang answered not too convincing.

"Yes, something is wrong!" Zuko exclaimed irritated. "Aang refuses to discuss what has to be done with Ozai!"

"I just don't like talking about taking a life! Even if it's a life of a horrible man!" Aang snapped.

"I wouldn't even say he's a man. Maybe a cat-camel or a donkey-goat." Toph commented.

"Ditto that." Sokka agreed, taking another spoonful of dinner.

"I think he's more of a pig-dog." Suki added.

"Man or not, you have to kill him Aang!" Zuko said barely hiding his anger.

"Why do I have to take his life. I just want-" Aang started to reply.

"I just want things too. I would do anything to have my mother back. I'm sure Zuko just wants things too, and Sokka and Toph and Suki. You think that you can just fly over and not have to kill, because you're a monk or the avatar?!" Katara yelled angrily.

"It's just I was taught that every life matters." Aang replied.

"So what?! Everyone else has to take a life! And they have to take lives of innocent soldiers who have families and are just doing their duty to their Fire Lord, who is definitely not innocent!"

This was not the Katara Aang knew. This wasn't the motherly Katara or the "I will never, ever, turn my back on people who need me" Katara. This was the Katara who found the man who murdered her mother, the Katara who can bend people's blood, the Katara who is a warrior.

"He's going to kill tons of Earth Kingdom citizens who are innocent because of their different ethnicity! You don't want to kill anyone? Too bad THIS IS WAR!" Katara finished.

Aang grabbed his glider and flew away.

"AANG! " Katara yelled running after Aang, regretting yelling at him now.

"Don't worry, he'll come back. " Zuko conferred.

"Did you really have to yell at him?" Sokka said standing up and walking over.

"Yes she did. Like it or not, Aang needed to hear it, because Katara is right." Suki said comely, walking towards her boyfriend and hugging him. "This is war and lives have to be taken."

"A toad-leech!" Toph exclaimed.

Everyone turned to Toph

"What?"

"What? Are we not naming what we think Ozai is anymore?" Toph replied.


Everyone is gathered at Uncle Iroh's 'The Jasmine Dragon' and Aang has defeated Fire Lord Ozai.

Aang has been quiet ever since.

"Aang, I understand that you're upset that you had to kill Ozai but it's was for the sake of the world. The world is a better place without him." Katara said trying to comfort

"I know Katara, but if I just had more time I could've figured out another way to bring peace to the world and not kill him." Aang replied.

"Aang, I know you think violence is never the answer but I think you're wrong about that. I'm not saying you should immediately attack someone without trying to comprehend and compromise but if you're being backed into a corner and you have no other choices you need to defend yourself. We had no other choice. Ozai was going to kill hundreds of innocent people." Katara explained.

"Thanks Katara. That really help but I'm still disappointed that I had to… do that." Aang said.

"And you have the right to be upset,but just remember all the good you've done and going to do." Katara said smiling and leaned forward to hug Aang tightly, who hugged just as tightly back, his best friend.


Authors note: Thanks for reading. Btw I am a Zutarian not a Kataang and was I the only one who thought that in Legend Of Korra maybe since Mai and Aang were dead that Zutara would happen with old Zuko and Katara?
