I've been waiting for this day my friends... so I thought why not let this chapter be published on the day The Legend of Korra is released? She better end up with a fire bender... just saying.
Sozin's Commit Part 4
"Toph, metal bend the rudder so it's jammed in a turning position." Sokka instructed Toph as they on the top of the space ship. Toph nodded following Sokka's orders. After the war balloon had connected with the one next to it Sokka turned and smiled at Toph. "Did I ever tell you how glad I am you invented metal bending?"
"No, but you could mention it a little more." She said with a smile proud of herself. She knew this was going to help Aang. That's when she felt the hatch being opened. A Fire nation soldier came out. Zuko grabbed Toph and began to run as far away from him as possible. He ended up jumping off of the airship and slamming into one of the launch pads (*1*) of the war balloon. Toph was hanging off the edge and he felt a sharp pain in his legs.
"My leg!" He yelled in pain and annoyance. "Hang on!" He yelled to her as he saw Fire Nation troops come out at them. He threw boomerang at one and his sword at the other. He was going to miss that sword. This was when more troops came out at them.
"I don't think boomerang's coming back Toph..." He said sadly to the child that was slipping from his grip. "It looks like this is the end." He said. That's when a gain war balloon crashed into the one he was on.
"How did that happen, did boomerang come back?" Toph asked when she felt a war balloon under her feet again.
"No... Suki did!" Sokka said happily. Toph cringed slightly at the happiness in his voice. It's okay, she thought, when this is over you will get to see Aang, everything will be fine. She started to doubt herself though when she thought of all of the heat that surrounded her. (*2*)
So many flames. All Katara could see were flaming buildings... and Zuko injured in the middle of it all. She didn't want to believe that he could die, not yet. She was going to heal Zuko, she promised herself this. Tears brimming her eyes she ran at Zuko, she was so close when flames were shot in front of her. She ran as the insane laughter of Azula filled her ears. She began to sprint away from the flames and the fire that were constantly being launched at her.
Zuko tried to get up, but could not move his body at all. He fell back down to the ground again clutching his chest. Why must I be so weak now? He asked himself as he saw Katara run.
"I'd really appreciate it if you let the family take care of little Zuzu if you don't mind." Azula said readying another bolt of lightening. She fired at Katara who was able to use her water bending to protect herself, but right afterwards more flames came her way. She was able to run and take cover behind a column. "Zuzu, you don't look so good!" Azula laughed her insane laugh. Katara ran to a new column when the other was destroyed. She took water from the basin and threw it at the now empty roof. She looked around to find Azula chasing her.
Katara ran forward using her bending to make her move faster, but Azula was high on her tail. Katara ran off of her water wall and landed on top of a sewage pipe(*3*). In front of her were chains. "There you are filthy peasant!" Azula said angrily. Katara shot water at Azula causing her to land on top of the sewage pipe with Katara. When Azula stuck her hand at Katara to fire lightning, Katara froze them on the spot. The water from the sewage now held them in that position. Azula was looking around frantically when Katara blew out bubbles from her nose making the water possible to move in. She tied Azula down using the chains and pushed all of the water away. Katara breathed heavily as she adjusted the chains that binned Azula. She then ran over to Zuko. He cringed when she turned him over.
"It's going to be okay. If you weren't going to be okay I would hate myself." Katara said to him as she healed his wound. "I can't let you sacrifice yourself for me." She said smiling, tears brimmed her eyes as she saw her healing had worked.
"I would have done the same thing if I had a choice. Thank you." Zuko said sitting up from his wound. Katara stopped him halfway up. "Katara?" Zuko asked. She closed her eyes then launched at his face. She had finally kissed him(*4*). His smile reached every corner of his face when they had parted.
"Know I would have done the same for you. I think I should be thanking you." She smiled back at him blushing slightly. She helped him up to the sound of his sisters angry screams of defeat. Zuko held her close to himself.
"YOU DID IT!" Sokka screamed as he came off of the war balloon. "YOU WERE ALL LIKE BOMB POW..." While Sokka was making his weird hands movements and gestures Toph ran up and hugged Aang. He hugged her back. Suki went to examine the Fire lord. "AND THE FIRE LORD WAS LIKE..." Sokka made an attempt at a coughing/ chocking noise.
"Did you...you know... finish the job?" She asked pointing at him.
"I'm still alive." He said coldly Suki who immediately backed away. Aang felt Toph slightly tense in his arms.
"I learned of another way to defeat him and restore balance... I took his bending away." Aang said, arm still slung around a blushing Toph. Sokka hopped over to Suki who held him up.
"Who taught you that?" Toph asked.
"A giant lion turtle." Aang said making her laugh slightly.
"You have the craziest adventures when you disappear." She said shaking her head.
"Well look at you buster." Sokka said standing in front of him. "Now that your fire bending's gone I guess we should call you the loser lord!" He pointed his finger in his face.
"I am the Phoenix King." He said before falling to the ground.
"Sorry to offend you King of getting his butt woped(*5*)." Toph said hitting her hand to her fist.
"Yeah. How about king of the guys... who... lose alot?" Toph sighed and stuck her hand up towards Sokka.
"Leave the nick-names to use sweetheart." Toph said. Aang smiled and hugged Toph closer. The war was finally over.
