Chapter 19

The Avatar Incarnate

(Set during 'Sozin's Comet' pt. 4)

Aang was dancing high on pillars of rock in the 'stone forest' near the fire nation coast; dodging Ozai's bursts of flame but as long as Ozai kept him on the defensive, he couldn't really shoot back. Occasionally, he was able to fire a blast of air, fire or stone back at the Firelord, but not enough to do more than slow him down a little. Now, Ozai had him backed against a wall. Aang bent a sphere of stone around himself as he tried to catch his breath, and think of a plan. Ozai was inexorably drilling through the sphere using his fire-bending like a blow torch, Aang could feel the incredible heat, and he could hear Ozai's megalomaniacal boasting. At just that moment, back at the palace, Zuko had fallen to Azula's lightning, and Aang somehow sensed it, the scar on his back throbbed in agony and he crumpled; and his stone sphere collapsed. Aang blacked out for a moment, but he heard Ozai saying that he would die, just as all the other air-benders had died, and soon, his pathetic son would be dead, as well.

This was the last straw, Aang could feel Zuko's agony, even though he was miles away; and the words of the lion turtle came back to him. Zuko was Aang's connection to the physical world, and his spiritual equal, and opposite. A familiar surge of energy and awareness rushed through him, he became the entirety of the forces of nature made manifest; it was the avatar state!

He emerged from under the pile of rubble, his eyes glowing furiously. Aang began to thrash Ozai, for the first time since their fight began, the Fire-lord, now self-proclaimed Phoenix King, felt true fear. Just as his arm, under the control of his past lives, was about to deliver the final blow; Aang came back to himself, and said, "No, I won't end it this way." "I knew it," Ozai said smugly, "Even with all the power in the world, you're still weak!"

Despite Ozai's bluster, the relief in his voice was palpable. He came towards Aang, ready to resume their battle. Thanks to Toph's instruction, Aang could feel Ozai's movements just by the minute vibrations they caused in the ground. Aang immobilized Ozai's hands and feet in pillars of stone, he then placed one hand on Ozai's forehead, and the other over his heart. Aang entered the Fire-lord's mind, and was almost overwhelmed by evil of the man's thoughts, and the cold darkness that was his soul.

Once again, the Avatar's mind went to Zuko, Katara, Sokka and Toph. He thought of the love he had for them, and they for him. These thoughts brought warmth and light which pushed back the cold blackness that Ozai represented. When they finally separated, Aang stumbled but did not fall; it was Ozai who collapsed to the ground, too spent and weak to move. "What did you do to me?" Ozai asked in voice that was so thin and feeble, it was barely recognizable. "I took away your bending," Aang said, his voice was strong and unwavering, but cold; However, there was no hint of the smugness or gloating that some might have used in his position. "You won't be able to harm anyone, especially Zuko, ever again." Aang again summoned the power of the Avatar to douse the fires Ozai's fleet had started.

Just then, a battered looking airship came to a somewhat rough landing on the cliff beside them. Toph came out, followed by Suki who was supporting a hobbling Sokka, whose left leg was bandaged, and splinted. "Wow," said Sokka in a slightly slurred voice, "You should have seen yourself, you were amazing, Aang!" Suki leaned over and peered at the slumped form of Ozai, "So, did you, um, finish the job?" "I'm still alive," Ozai tried to say in a defiant voice, but it came out as a pathetic whisper. "I learned that there was another way to beat him," Aang explained in voice that was stronger, more assertive and more confident than his friends had ever heard before; "I took away his bending." "Wow," said Toph, "Where'd you learn to do that?"

"I'll explain later, but now we have to get to the Fire-nation royal palace; I think something bad has happened to Zuko." "Sokka, can this thing get us there?" "I think so, Aang." "Then let's go, Suki, Toph, bring Ozai," the avatar spoke in a voice that was full of such charisma and authority that his friends didn't even think to question him. The Airship lifted off and headed towards the Fire-nation's capital; the home of their prisoner, and his daughter and son.

The avatar's thoughts would not turn away from the prince; Aang was practically willing him to be alive, he believed Zuko was just as in tune with him as he with Zuko; and that Zuko could draw strength from that connection. At that moment, the subject of Aang's thoughts was being healed by the ministrations of Katara. Her fight with Azula was vicious, but once the odds had tipped in Katara's favor, it was over quickly. She had the princess chained to a pillar sobbing hysterically and shooting fire from her mouth; Katara believed Azula had completely lost her grip on reality.

Zuko felt a warm surge of energy deep inside, that he knew had little to do with Katara's healing; it was Aang, he could feel it. Nevertheless, Zuko was very grateful to Katara, Azula's lightning hit very close to his heart, Zuko did not doubt that Katara had probably saved his life. He hugged and thanked her; she returned the gesture and reminded him that he had also saved her life tonight. The two of them looked down with melancholy expressions at the broken princess. Zuko knelt down and gently kissed his sister's forehead; and, just for a moment, it seemed like her sobbing abated, a little. "Can you keep an eye on things here, for a while, Katara?" Zuko asked her. And then he said, "I need to be alone for a while." "Are you sure you're alright?" She asked, with concern in her voice. "Yeah," he reassured her, "I just need to be alone to think for a while."
