"Katara, are you sure you want to go through with this. I'm not going to lie to you, you're going to be in extreme pain." Sokka told her.

"Yes I'm sure. I just want to be me again." She told them. She turned to Zuko.

"You have to be strong for me okay?" She told him.

"Of course." He replied. He was happy he was going to have his Katara back. He briefly wondered if she'd remember anything from the past month.

"Okay, Zuko tell me where the pulse is." Zuko found it in the same place Azula's was.

"Okay Katara, ready?" He asked.

"Ready."

Sokka sent the water through her mouth until he was sure he found the spot. Before he did anything, he looked to Zuko. Zuko nodded and Sokka surrounded the pulse. He made the water as cold as he could get it, without freezing it and he tightened it around the pulse. Katara screamed and Zuko squeezed her hand. Sokka finally froze the water and speared it through the pulse. Katara screeched in pain and it was heartbreaking for Zuko to see her like this. Sokka couldn't waist time worrying he had to finish what he started. Sokka withdrew the water from her and took out a vial of spirit water. He put it in Katara and as soon as it made contact with the spot where the pulse was he was no longer in control of it. Katara's screams died down and she fell unconscious. Sokka picked her up and placed her in the fountain. He put his hands in the fountain and surrounded Katara in healing water. He took her out of the fountain and lay her on the edge. They sat there for hours with her, waiting for her to wake up. Finally she opened her eyes, and they were a cool crystal blue. Zuko smiled and so did Sokka. Katara was back!

"What happened?" She asked. Zuko and Sokka looked at each other. She didn't remember a thing.

"We'll explain it to you later. Right now you need rest." Zuko told her.

"No I mean, what happened how am I water again?" She asked. Sokka looked at her.

"You mean, you remember?" He asked. She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, everything except the change." They smiled.

"That's a good thing." They said together. They walked Katara back to her room. Zuko stayed with her while Sokka went to find Azula. They let her roam free since she no longer had fire bending. Sokka found her sitting with Mai. He listened to what they were saying.

"I didn't want to hurt her! I never wanted to hurt anyone. But my father... he scared me so much I didn't know what else to do. I wish I had had the courage that Zuko did and left. I wish I'd done things differently." Azula cried onto Mai's shoulder.

"Look, I can forgive you but the person you need to apologize to is Sokka. He is the one who lost a love in this." Azula nodded and Mai got up. Sokka took a deep breath and sat down next to her.

"Hi." He said.

"Hello." She looked at him. Her hair was down and her features were softened, her eyes were no longer golden, they were a light brown. "I'm sorry, for everything." She told him. He looked at her.

"As I told Mai, I don't blame you for what happened to Ty Lee, I blame Suki."

"But I still k-ki-killed her, and I just-" Sokka pulled her into a hug. He didn't know why, but he was done. He was done fighting people when he knew they were good. Zuko turned out okay, why couldn't Azula? He let go of her and stared across the cliffs.

"What was that for?" She asked.

"I forgive you." He told her. She smiled at him.

"I'm glad."

Sokka knew what had to be done. He got up and took her hand. He gathered everyone by the fountain and explained.

"Aang, we know it's your destiny to kill the firelord, but there is no reason that we shouldn't help. We all hate him for different reasons. Katara and I hate him for killing our mother, Zuko for his scar and his childhood, Mai for keeping her father from her for so long, Azula for him making her do all of the despicable things he made her do, Toph because his soldier took away your eyesight as a baby, and Aang for wiping out the entire Air nation. Aang I know how you feel about killing him, so we'll each deliver a deadly blow to him at once, that way it will be unclear as to who killed him, but at least he'll be dead and we can all feel good in knowing that we did it." Sokka explained. Aang shook his head.

"No! We don't have to kill him! We can take away his firebending! Anything!" Aang yelled.

"Not this time. This man needs to be dead." Sokka told him. "We'll take a vote. Say yes if your in favor of my plan and no if your in favor of Aang's. Toph?"

"Yes."

"Katara?"

"Yes."

"Zuko?"

"Yes."

"Azula?"

"Yes."

"Aang?"

"No."

"Mai?"

"Yes."

"And I am in favor of it." Sokka told them. "We need to do this soon. Any suggestions as to when."

"Tomorrow night." Everyone but Aang said together.

"I don't like this, but I understand and will go along with this. At least I won't know whether it was me who killed him or not." Everyone smiled at Aang.

"Then we need to train, and figure out exactly what we are going to do." Sokka told them.

"I think we all pretty much know how we are going kill him." Zuko stated.

"Then we leave at day break." Sokka smiled triumphantly.
