Chapter 20: It All Changed When A Snap

Aang fell to the ground; he felt sick all of a sudden. It was like every sick day he ever had hit him all at once. They were outside of Iroh's tea shop, having a relaxing day when it just hit him.

"Aang, are you okay?" Katara moved to his side

Aang felt like throwing up, he didn't understand it, but he felt the balance of the world had just thrown out of wack. "No, I don't think I am."

In a dingy, dirty cell, a once-powerful Firelord Ozai sat in the dark. He was a man filled with rage and pride. He thought he could rule the world. Even without power or anything, his anger grew, and he waited for a chance to rule.

His body began to crumble before him; he yelled out, "Guard! Guard!" For the first time in a very long time, he felt fear truly, and his cries went unheard until his voice died down.

In a small restaurant, long-time friends Mai and Ty Lee meet to share a meal.

"Okay," Ty Lee started, "I still don't get it."

"What's there to get?" Mai sipped on her tea.

"You're the whole break up with Zuko."

"He kept a pretty big secret from me."

"Yeah, okay, not opening up to his girlfriend if a big deal. But to be fair, your not exactly open person either."

"I understand that I really do, but I tried."

"Okay, but Zuko's had it rough. I'm not going to excuse anything, but he's been an outcast even to his own family, and his own father is a big-time bad dad. He forced him to do impossible things just to get his attention much less his approval. I think Zuko knows that but knowing it won't make it end. His dad really screwed his mind over, look at how Azula turned out." Ty Lee sighed, "I'm not saying what he did was right, but he's still working on fixing what his dad broke not only with the Fire Nation but with himself."

Mai was quiet for a moment, "Why do you care?"

"You're my friend, I guess Zuko is too, but you're my best friend." Ty Lee smiled, "It's just your always gloomy, but with him, you were gloomy and happy. Your aura was still gloomy but pink too. It's your choice, and I'll support you, but I want to see you like that again."

Ty Lee smiled to her friend, that was the last thing Mai saw. Both girls sat there and turned to ash before either could react.

Firelord Zuko walked down the halls with his family. He found his mother, Ursala, to discover that she married the man she loved before meeting his father and had a daughter. His step-father Noren was a far better father than Ozai and a good man. His little sister Kiyi was a bright girl.

It was a bright spot in his life, this new family that loved and accepted him; they were a balm to his heart.

Kiyi ran ahead and tumbled Zuko reacted and moved to help her up.

Ursala was happy seeing Zuko pick her up, they didn't know each other for most of their lives, but they got along. This whole situation was a strange one, but she could see her children get along.

"Zuzu?" Kiyi squeaked.

"Zuko? Kiyi?" Ursala let out, "What's going on?"

Zuko held her sister close, but before they could even call for help, the small girl became nothing but ash in the Firelord's hands.

Azula was much like her father, prideful, powerful, and out of her mind. She became very unstable after her brother defeated her, and revelations and the return of her mother's hadn't helped.

She gathered some followers, they thought she planned to put Ozai back on the throne, but she had other plans. To control the nation through Zuko by making him into someone like her.

She was working on another plan to do so when there was a scream. She turned back to see a follower dissolve and then another and another.

Azula always thought that fear was her most significant power, a tool to control others. Then she felt it; she felt the ash and death creep over her body.

"Someone help me!" She ordered, but no one did anything caught up in their fear.

Azula feared in her last moment, she ruled through it and was governed by it in the end.

There was the sound of people dropping plates and cups.

Iroh stumbled out his shop, "Something is happening, my customers, they're-"

The usually calm Toph said, "They're gone,"

Toph was blind, but through her bending, she could sense things through the earth, sort of like sonar. She suddenly felt people all over start to vanish, not move and not carried just gone.

"What does that mean?" Sokka asked her.

A customer ran out of the shop but only made it a few steps before they dissolved.

"That!" Suki shouted, jumping back to Sokka's side; she grabbed his hand for comfort.

"Aang? What's going on?" Katara asked.

"I don't know," Aang told her, "I've never felt anything like this. It's like the whole world is falling apart.

Nearby the giant flying bison Appa moaned and crumbled to the ground in more ashes. Momo, the flying lemur, had been sitting on Appa at the moment tumbled to the ground, confused and frantically trying to get out of the ash.

"What?" Toph let out as her own body turned to ash, soon the girl was gone.

"Oh, no!" Sokka gulped his body started to dissolve.

Katara rushed to his side, pulling out a small pouch of water she kept with her. Bending it out, she moved it towards her brothers desperate to use it to heal him.

Sokka watched in awe of his brave little sister how much she had grown up. Suki held his hand tightly, seemingly telling him she wasn't going to let him go. He was lucky to have them in his life.

He felt it; even as he felt the water pushing him to heal, he felt his body fade into nothingness.

He looked at them, "I'm going to miss you two so much."

"Sokka-"A catch caught Suki word's in the throat, and he was gone.

They heard fearful screams coming from all over as the world settled.

Aang forced himself to his feet, Iroh helping steady him. Aang looked around, he felt it, something hitting the spirit world the same way. Even at a distance, he could hear spirits crying out as they vanished or their friends being taken away.

The balance was being shattered and lives destroyed.

Author's Notes: It all changed when Thanos snapped his fingers and half the population turned to dust. But in my heart I believe Aaang could save us all.

Or maybe not.

Anyway, I did this story based on the canon post series avatar comics, I'd check them out if you haven't read them.

Anyway, If I haven't stated I flip a coin to decide to lives and who does. Minus a few people I decided live because of story purposes but lets face thats why the OG avengers survived. I'm pretty happy who got snapped here, I couldn't do it to Iroh. RIP Mako you were a gift to us all.

Anyway, we just did Adventure time and now Avatar. Leave a review and questions. I might do something a bit more modern for the next chapter.
