"You better act like you know That I been through worse than you I just can't keep runnin' away"

Appa soars in for a landing on a seaside cliff. In the distance four large, blue-sailed Northern Water Tribe ships can be seen in Chameleon Bay. Near the docked vessels sits an encampment of blue tents. Aang is shown seated on Appa's neck
"You haven't seen your Dad in over two years. You must be so excited." Aang says
"I know I should be, but I just feel sick to my stomach." Sokka clutches his gurgling belly.
"Don't be nervous, he's going to be so happy to see you." Aang places arm on Sokka's shoulder, causing him to smile slightly
"So what about you? Are you nervous to meet this Guru?" Sokka asks
"Not at all. I'm ready to master the Avatar State. I'll do whatever it takes." Sokka drops off of Appa's back, looks up at Aang "See you in a week. Yip Yip!"
With that, Appa launches off the cliff into the air. Sokka turns and looks out over the camp below, and lets out a resigned sigh before heading off for it.
☁
The King is seated on his golden throne. His bear Bosco rests his chin on one of the throne's arms. Azula, Ty Lee and Mai are kneeling at the foot of the dais, still disguised as the Kyoshi warriors.
"Look Bosco, the Kyoshi Warriors are here to protect us. Aren't you excited?" The King asks his bear
The King tugs playfully on Bosco's cheeks, who yawns
"It's been a difficult week for me. My most trusted advisor, Long Feng, and his Dai Li agents tried to take control of Ba Sing Se from me." he explains
"It's terrible when you can't trust the people who are closest to you." Azula says
"But there is good news. As we speak, the Council of Five is meeting to plan an invasion of The Fire Nation this summer. On the day of a solar eclipse."Azula's eyes widen slightly at these last words.
"Really? Now that sounds like a fascinating and brilliant plan."
The three girls exchange glances.
☁
On the top floor, an enormous open chamber serves as the war room. The center of the ornate room is dominated by a map of the known world, perhaps sixty feet to a side. Katara and Katzumi kneel at the raised frame of the map. The Council of Five are seated at a long table overlooking it.
"General Fong's base will serve as the launching point of the attack.In exactly two months, the Army and Navy will invade the Fire Nation on The Day of Black Sun."
As he says this, he earthbends three earth unit markers across the sea to the fire nation capital, where a red marker stands. Momo suddenly pounces on the fire nation maker, scattering the other pieces.
"Or we could send in Momo to do some damage." Katara laughs
Momo continues to hop around the map, scattering more pieces
"Cause the... " Katara continues to laugh, then notices the grim expressions of the Council "...sorry."
With a gesture, General How snaps the pieces upright. A startled Momo shrieks and races off the map, to perch on Katara's shoulder once more.
"All we need is the Earth King's seal in order to execute the plan." General how places a scroll on a section of the map frame, which he bends across the map to Katzumi
"we'll get these scrolls to him right away. Thank you, General How." Katzumi picks up the scroll, rises and bows slightly, and turns to depart.
Appa flies towards us from the direction of the setting sun, past mist shrouded mountain peaks. From his seat on Appa, Aang looks about in wonder, and perhaps nostalgia.
☁
Ahead three mountain spires of the Eastern Air Temple, linked by bridges. Aang peers ahead as Appa soars closer to the temple, and we see the Guru Pathik seated in the lotus position upon a round dias.
"Um, hello? You're Guru Pathik, right? The person who attached the note to Appa's horn?" Aang asks
"Indeed. I was a spiritual brother of your people, and a personal friend of Monk Gyatso." Pathik explains
"In your note, you said you could teach me to gain control of the Avatar State. How?" Aang asks again
"You must gain balance within yourself before you can bring balance to the world. And the first step to gaining balance begins with this." Pathik holds up a wooden cup with a yellow liquid in it "Drink up!"
Aang tentatively takes a swallow of the thick yellow stuff, and reacts with disgust, spitting it out to his left.
"Ugh! It tastes like onions and banana juice" Aang yells
"That's because it is." Pathik empties another bowl, and holds it over his head like a ridiculous hat
Aang gapes at him in stunned disbelief.
"In order to master the Avatar State, you must open all of the chakras. Aang, tell me everything you know about chakras." Patihk explains
"What are chakras?" Aang asks
"Oh, I see. I guess we'll start with the basics" Pathik turns to a murky pool where the creek water has gathered. "The water flows through this creek much like the energy flows through your body. As you can see there are several pools where the water swirls around before flowing on. These pools are like our chakras"
"So chakras are pools of spiraling energy in our bodies?" Aang asks again
"Exactly! If nothing else were around, this creek would flow pure and clear. However, life is messy, and things tend to fall in the creek, and then what happens?"
"The creek can't flow"
"Yes. But if we open the paths between the pools... " he clears some moss clogging the water with his stick. The water pours quickly into the next pool, and soon all of them are running clean and clear.
"The energy flows!" Pathik looks to Aang with a satisfied smile.
☁
The Jasmine Dragon Tea House, as guests stream inside its open doors. Katara, Katzumi, and Momo walk onto the tea shop lot.
"What do you say ? A cup of tea before we get back to the king?" Katzumi nodes "Table for three please." Katara says to a waiter
"Uncle, I need two jasmine, one green and one lychee!"
Katara looks toward the sound of a familiar voice, and sees Zuko in a fancy waiters uniform, speaking to Iroh, who is working behind a counter.
" I'm brewing as fast as I can!"
Katara stands in shock as she recognizes them both. She turns but not before grabn=bing the frozen Katzumi and flees
☁
"Thank goodness you are here, Suki. Something terrible is going on. The Fire Nation has infiltrated the city. we just saw Prince Zuko and his Uncle!" Azula's eyes snap open at this news, and she smiles "We have to tell the Earth King right away!' Katara yells
"Oh, don't worry. I'll be sure to let him know."
The two girls stands dumbstruck as she realizes who "Suki" really is, and Momo leaps away with a frightened squeak.
Ty Lee rushes forward with a series of acrobatic flips, striking at Katara's shoulder as she flips behind her. Katara, in the midst of bending water from her reserve, falls paralyzed to the throne room floor.
Katzumi assumes a stance.
"Don't try your luck" Ty lee says as Katzumi lifts her leg trying to strike her. She fails as Katzumi gets multiple jabs in the leg, Shoulder, and Neck. Katzumi falls on the floor next to Katara
They both lies helpless on the floor
"So, Zuzu's in the city too. I think it's time for a family reunion."
☁
In Aang's mind, He sees Katzumi practicing graceful firebending moves, then leaning against a tree in an alluring pose. As Pathik begins to speak again, she is sitting face to face with Aang. Their lips move closer,
"Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river. Forgotten."
At these final words, Aang is abruptly drawn from his vision.
"What? Why would I let go of Katzumi? I...I..I love her." Aang stutters
"Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe." Pathik explains
"Why would I choose cosmic energy over Katzumi? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her? Three chakras ago, that was a good thing" Aang says
"You must learn to let go"
Aang lowers his eyes, with a look of uncertainty clearly written on his face.
"I Cannot Let Her Go" Aang says firmly.
"Aang you are the Avatar at its their du-" Guru Pathik tries to reason with the young airbender but was cut off
"I said No. I belong to her, and she belongs to me" Aang states
"Avatar you must detach yourself from these selfish thoughts. Only then, and you be a fully realized Avatar"
"Guru I-"
"No Aang. You must Surrender these Thoughts, You do not belong to her, and she doesn't belong to you. Thousands of lives are at stake. A true Avatar would never let his or her feelings about someone stop them from doing what's right."
" I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katzumi."
"Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must open all the chakras. Surrender yourself."Patihk pleads
"Okay, I'll try."
Aang focuses his concentration. Inside his mind, we see mountains beneath a starry sky. The heavens begin to spin with great speed, the stars blurring streaks that disappear behind the mountains. An image of Katzumi appears, and drifts back toward the horizon to finally vanish with a twinkle of light. The heavens cease to whirl.
"Now, think of your attachments and let them go."
An image of Katzumi appears, and drifts back toward the horizon to finally vanish with a twinkle of light. The sky ceases to spin.
" Let the pure cosmic energy flow."
Looking up into the stars, we see an aurora of light. Aang is seen floating in space above the planet, and the aurora solidifies into a radiant bridge beneath his feet. Turning from the world below, Aang sees a massive entity standing above snaking path. It is a spectral figure of Aang himself, the tattoos and eyes shining with the light of the Avatar State. Aang sets off carefully towards it, mouth open in awe. As he nears the feet of the hovering apparition, his own tattoos begin to shine with light. The towering, spectral Aang descends, a sphere of light shimmering between its fingers.
The Avatar is enclosed within this shell, but suddenly he is distracted by a cry of distress. Aang sees a vision of Katzumi chained to a wall, demanding to be freed. He leaps from the hands of the apparition, and the sphere of light vanishes. Behind him, the great entity fades from sight, as he rushes back down the path. It too begins to fade rapidly, until it drops him to plunge screaming toward the world. Aang suddenly starts from his meditative trance.
"Katzumi is in danger! I have to go.
Aang turns and races away, sliding down the roof the tower
"No Aang! By choosing attachment, you have locked the chakra!" Aang draws to a stop "If you leave now you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all!" Patihk yells
Aang pauses for a moment at the edge of the roof, then leaps down. Guru Pathik closes his eyes with a mournful expression.
☁
Toph grabs the edges of the bent metal box and bends them together again. She leaps atop the box and raises her arm high.
"I am the greatest earthbender in the world! Don't you two dunderheads ever forget it!"
Toph stomps angrily on the metal box, then leaps down to the road. The ground beneath her plunges downward in a wide circle, then surges her up atop a swell of earth. With the running motion of her feet, Toph rides this swell back up the road at tremendous speed, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
☁
"Ready to go knock some Fire Nation heads?" Hakoda asks
"You don't know how much this means to me dad. I'll make you proud, and I'll finally prove to you what a great warrior I am." Sokka smiles
"Sokka, you don't have to prove anything to me.I'm already proud of you, and I've always known you were a great warrior." Hakoda places a hand on his son's shoulder
"Really?"
"Why do you think I trusted you to look after our tribe when I left?"
Sokka and Hakoda head off to the ships. They are climbing the ramp to embark when they hear Appa's rumbling grunt, and turn. Appa sets down at the foot of the ramp, and Aang turns to Sokka with a worried expression.
"This can't be good news."
Appa soars away from Chameleon Bay, Aang and Sokka atop him. Looking back, Sokka watches his father's ships head out of the bay toward open waters. From the deck of his flagship, Hakoda looks back and smiles toward his son.
