Water.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.
Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked
Only the avatar, master of all four elements could stop them.
But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years passed and my brother and i discovered the new avatar.
An airbender named Aang.
And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
But i believe, Aang can save the world.
Hey, i remember her,
she helped you attack us.
Yep.
Back in the good old days.
Oh, great, it's prince pouty.
Where is your creepy granpa?
He is my uncle!
And he is not here!
I see you worked things up with your girlfriend.
She is not my girlfriend! I am not his girlfriend!
Ok, ok....sheesh.
I was only teasing.
So what do you want?
I need your help finding the Avatar.
Hm...doesn't sound too fun.
Does the end of the world sound like more fun?
Nyla!
Who is my little...uumm...snufly-wafly?
No! Careful there!
Ok,
so who's got something with the Avatar's scent on it?
I have Aang's staff.
Well, what does that mean?
It means your friend is gone!
We know he is gone!
That's why we are trying to find him!
No, i mean he is gone gone.
He doesn't exist!
Where are we, Momo?
We can both be in the Spirit World.
Nope,
my bending works.
Maybe if we climb to the top of the island,
we can figure it out where we are.
What do you mean Aang doesn't exist?
Do you mean he is...
you know...dead?
Nope, we could find him if he were dead.
Oh...it's a real headscratcher.
See ya.
Helpful...real helpful.
Wait. i have another idea.
There is only one other person in this world,
who can help us face the firelord.
I'll be right back with the smell sample.
You saved your uncle's sweaty sandal?
I think it's kinda sweet.
Let's do this.
Hey, wait up!
We are going to Ba Sing Se?
Your uncle is somewhere beyong the wall.
Nyla is getting twitchy, so it can't be too far.
Good luck.
It's been a long day.
Let's camp and start our search again at dawn.
It's a hexagon.
It doesn't seem like normal rock.
It's not made of earth.
This is so strange.
I wish some help right now,
I wish i had Roku.
I do have Roku!
You're right, Aang.
All the past Avatars,
all their experience and wisdom
is available to you,
if you look deep inside yourself.
So, where am i, Roku?
What is this place?
I....don't know, Aang.
But i see that you are lost
in more ways that one right now.
I am.
I need to figure it out what to do when i face the Firelord.
Well, look who is here?
Everyone expects me to take Firelord's life.
But i just don't know if i can do that.
In my life,
I tried to be disciplined
and show restraint.
But it backfired,
when Fire Lord Sozin took advantage
of mine restraint and mercy.
If had been more decisive,
and acted sooner,
I could have stopped Sozin
and stopped the war before it started.
I offer you this wisdom, Aang.
You must be decisive.
What's going on?
We're surrounded by old people?
Not just any old people,
these are great masters and friends of ours.
Pakku.
It is respectful to bow to an old master,
but how about a hug,
for your new grandfather?
That's so exciting!
You and Gran Gran must be so happy to finding each other again.
I made her a new betrothal necklace and everything.
Welcome to the family, Granp-granp.
You can still just call me Pakku.
How about...
Gran-Pakku?
No.
And this was Aang's first firebending teacher.
Jeong-Jeong.
Master Piandao.
Hello, Sokka.
So wait,
how do you all know each other?
All OWL people know each other,
don't you know that?
We all are part of the same ancient secret society.
A group that transcends the divisions of the four nations.
The Order of The White Lotus.
That's the one.
The White Lotus was always been about philosophy, and beauty, and truth.
But about a month ago,
a call went out that we were all needed for something important.
It came from our Grand Lotus, your Uncle.
Iroh of the Fire Nation.
Well, that's who we are looking for.
Then we will take you to him.
Wait,
someone is missing from your group,
someone very important...
Where is Momo?
He is gone,
and so is Aang.
Oh well, so long as they have each other
I am sure we have nothing to worry about.
Let's go!
Avatar Kyoshi,
I need your wisdom.
In my day,
Chin The Conqueror threatened to throw the world out of balance.
I stopped him,
and the world entered a great era of peace.
But you really didn't kill Chin.
Technically, he fell to his own doom
because he was too stubborn to get out of the way.
Personally, i don't really see the difference,
but i assure you --
I would have done whatever it took
to stop Chin.
I offer you this wisdom, Aang.
Only justice will bring peace.
I knew i shouldn't have ask Kyoshi.
So, Bumi,
how did you end up escaping
your imprisonment in Omashu?
Escape?
I didn't escape.
Everybody else escaped.
There i was back in a ...
moment. i didn't know what or when,
bit i knew i'd know it when i knew it.
An eclipse.
That'll do it.
What do you think you're doing?
Taking back my city.
You've got no fire power
and it's payback time!
Wow,
you took back your whole city all by yourself.
So what about you, guys?
Did you do anything interesting on the day of the eclipse?
Nah.
No, not really.
I need to look deep inside myself.
I am Avatar Kuruk.
When i was young,
I was always a
"go with the flow" kind of Avatar.
People seemed to work out their own problems,
and there was peace and good times in the world.
But then, i lost the woman i loved to Koh,
the face stealer.
It was mine fault.
If i had been more attentive and more active,
I could have saved her.
Aang,
you must actively shape your own destiny,
and the destiny of the world.
Well, here we are.
Welcome to OWL people camp.
Where?
Where is he?
Your Uncle is in there, prince Zuko.
Are you okay?
No, i am not okay.
My Uncle hates me, i know it.
He loved me and supported me in every way he could.
And i still turned against him.
How can i even face him?
Zuko,
you're sorry for what you did, right?
More sorry than I've been about anything in my entire life.
Then he'll forgive you.
He will.
Uncle,
All these past Avatars,
they keep telling me i'm gonna have to do it.
They don't get it.
You're right,
maybe an air nomad Avatar
will understand where i'm coming from.
I know you can't really talk,
pretending you can just helps me think.
I am going to pretend i didn't pretend to hear that.
I am Avatar Yangchen, young airbender.
Avatar Yangchen,
the monks always taught me that all life is sacred,
even the life of the tiniest spider-fly caught in its own web.
Yes,
all life is sacred.
I know, i am even a vegeterian.
I've always tried to solve my problems by being quick or clever,
and I've only had to use violence for necessary defence.
And I've certainly never used it to take a life.
Avatar Aang,
I know that you're a gentle spirit.
And the monks have taught you well,
but this isn't about you,
this is about the world.
But the monks taught me,
that i have to detach myself from the world,
so my spirit could be free.
Many great and wise air nomads have detached themselves
and achieved spiritual enlightenment.
But the Avatar can never do it,
because your sole duty is to the world.
Here is my wisdom for you.
Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs
and do what ever it takes to protect the world.
I quess i don't have a choice, Momo,
I have to kill the Fire Lord.
Uncle,
I know you have mixed fellings about seeing me.
But i want you to know,
I am so,
so sorry, Uncle.
I am so sorry and ashamed of what i did.
I don't know how i can ever make it up for you.
But i...
How can you forgive me so easily?
I thought you will be furious with me.
I was never angry with you.
I was sad,
because i was afraid you lost your way.
I did lose my way.
But you found it again,
and you did it by yourself.
And i am so
happy you found your way here.
It wasn't that hard, Uncle.
You have a pretty strong scent.
Wait,
is it just me
or those mounts getting bigger?
There are not getting larger,
they are getting closer.
The whole island is moving.
It's amazing, Momo.
The biggest animal in the world.
I've got to swim around and find its face.
Uncle,
you are the only person other then the Avatar
who can possibly defeat the fatherlord.
You mean the firelord?
That's what i just said.
We need you to come with us.
No, Zuko.
It won't turn out well.
You can beat him.
And we will be there to help.
Even if i did defeat Ozai
and i don't know that i could.
It will be the wrong way to end a war.
History will see it as just more senseless violence,
a brother killing a brother to grab power.
The only way for this war to end peacefully
is for the Avatar
to defeat the firelord.
And then,
then would you come and take your rightful place on the throne?
No.
Someone new must take the throne.
An idealist with pure heart
and unquestionable honour.
It has to be you, prince Zuko.
Unquestionable honour?
But I've have made so many mistakes.
Yes, you have.
You struggled, you suffered,
but you have always followed you own path.
You restored your own honour,
and only you can restore the honour
of the Fire Nation.
I'll try, Uncle.
Well, what if Aang doesn't come back?
Sozin's Comet is arriving
and our destinies are upon us.
Aang will face the firelord.
When i was a boy,
I had a vision, that I'll one day
take Ba Sing Se.
Only now do i see that
my destiny is to take it back
from the Fire Nation,
so the Earth Kindom can be free again.
That's why you gathered the members of the White Lotus.
Yes.
Zuko,
you must return to the Fire Nation,
so that when the firelord fall,
you can assume the throne
and restore peace
and order.
But Azula will be there,
waiting for you.
I can handle Azula.
Not alone.
You'll need help.
You're right.
Katara,
how would you like to help me put Azula in her place?
It would be my pleasure.
What about us?
What's our destiny today?
What do you think it is?
I think that
if we don't know where Aang is,
we need to do everything we can to stop the airship fleet.
And that means, when Aang does face the firelord,
we will be right there if he need us.
Nothing runs faster over land or swims quicker
than a giant eel-hound.
The airship base is on the small island
just off the Earth Kindom shore.
You should be able to intercept the fleet within the day's journey.
Thank you, master.
So if i'm gonna be the firelord after the the war over,
what are you going to do?
After i reconquer Ba Sing Se,
I am going to reconquer my tea shop
and i am going to play Pai Sho every day.
Goodbye, general Iroh.
Goodbye, everyone.
Today destiny is our friend,
i know it.
A lion-turtle.
Maybe you can help me.
Everyone,
even my own past lifes
are expecting me to end someone's live.
But i don't know if i can do it.
The true mind can weather
all the lies and illusions
without being lost.
The true heart can tough
the poison of hatred
without being harmed.
Since beginningless time
darkness thrives in the void
but always yields
to purifying light.
Wait for him.
He will come.
It's time for this world to end in fire
and for a new world to be born from the ashes.
