BOOM.
BOOM-BOOM.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM.
Katara bit her nails. She was worried beyond mind.
Was Aang okay?
Toph lifted her head up just to see if the Avatar was going to reemerge. Hope hurt.
The pain that encased Toph's shins and legs was unbearable, but she had to do something. She had to.
Silently, she bent Earth blocks into steps where Aang should emerge. Katara's nails were gone.
Then, the moment they all were waiting for...
There!...
Came....
Aang!
He flew out, bomb in hand, charred fingers, but fine and happy.
"You think that's all it takes to hurt us? No. Think again, Ozai." Katara had tears coming out of the corners of her eyes.
"Aang!" Toph and Katara shouted simultaneously.
Meanwhile, nearby Zuko and his dad were having a match-off. The one Zuko needed.
Wi-Lao had run off, but someone else had caught him...Sokka and Suki! Mai and Ty Lee ran alongside them.
"What's going on?" Mai demanded to Ozai.
"Oh, little girl. Son, is this your girlfriend?" he cooed evilly.
"I am not a little girl!" she shouted in his face.
"I am not your son! By blood? It doesn't matter! I am nothing like you! And I never will be! Mai, step away. I'm about to take his honor away," Zuko said.
"Zuko! You don't need to do this. You've had your honor all along, don't you know?" Mai argued.
"Yes, but so has he."
"No! He lost his honor after the war!"
"Not with me, Mai. I know there are people out there who still respect him. I will not let that happen anymore. Step away, please, Mai." Zuko was nearly begging now.
"Listen to him, little girl."
"I'm not a little girl!" she shouted, throwing one swift dagger in his direction and walking away backward.
"So many things unfinished no one thought about, huh?" Ozai said to his 'son'.
"Everyone thought of this but you," Zuko spat. And, with one swift and quick lightning strike, he had Ozai on the ground, scared stiff.
"Just realize you can't fire bend or what?" Zuko demanded, towering over the cowering Ozai.
"No."
"Think you're better and more powerful than us?"
"No."
But, it wasn't the lightning that made Ozai crumble. It was the look in his son's eyes.
"You. The look in your eyes...it looked like the fierce Avatar!" he shouted.
"So?" Zuko said, throwing his arms up.
"You are my son, and you should be on my side!"
"Not for long, father." With that, Zuko dragged him by his arm into the carriage that was waiting. A neighbor had gotten Ozai's keeper, Zuko fired them and got a new one..all in the matter of minutes.
"See ya, daddy," Zuko cooed. The only thing Ozai could do was glare.
And we all know how powerful that is.
Katara, still in tears, was healing Aang's hands, which had stopped the bomb from an even bigger explosion.
She was also healing Toph at the same time, who had a major bleeding line on her legs. It was also a little bruised. The summer heat and wind blew through her hair, tears being dried.
Who knew the world could be so cruel?
Zuko stood a little ways off, watching the carriage go far away, far far away into a more secure mental hospital that wouldn't ever let his father out. Ever. Not even on walks.
Sokka and Suki were hugging and conversing briefly with each other.
"Are you okay?" Sokka whispered to her. They were standing on the curb.
"Yes, are you?" Sokka nodded. Together, they walked over to Zuko.
"Are you okay?" Sokka asked, patting his shoulder.
Suddenly, a smile encased Zuko's lips.
"I've never been better in my life. Guys! This isn't a time for mourning! We're all back together again! And we're all okay. Think about it," Zuko said to them all. Suddenly, Toph smiled.
"You're right, for once, Fire Head. Although I'm still kinda pained now."
Aang nodded.
"My hands actually feel better, though. Thanks, Katara!" he said. She nodded and kissed his lips.
"Is everyone okay?" she asked once more.
"Yes," everyone answered at different times, examining themselves.
"Well, then. How about we go for some tea to talk about what happened, then we can have a builder fix this up?" Katara suggested, eying their house.
"What about us doing it?" Sokka said.
"Yes! That'd be nice. Plus, it's nice out," Suki agreed.
"Okay. Sounds good."
With that, they walked off to the nearby tea shop, willing to talk about past events. Little did they all know, sometimes problems take a while to resolve. And in this case, they weren't even over.
Wait! Toph thought to herself. Where is that stupid guard?

A/N: Okey dokey, there it is! I hope you liked that chapter. I wanted peace with some more suspense...a little. I didn't want to throw a whole other case of events yet, so I decided just to end with that. The next chapter will be up soon! Maybe subscribing to an alert would work. You never know when I'll update. Sorry this chapter was a little short, but it summed everything up and I think ended this thought. LOL. Well, expect it up soon!
Thanks for reading!
