Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Aang sat down next to the waterfall. It would be the last night he would be free, free of fighting and turmoil, free to not worry. He knew that tomorrow would be the day. The eclipse will happen and it would be his battle against probably the most powerful man of earth.
Katara walked up to Aang and sat at his side. They both knew what was to come. They took quick glances at each other but said nothing at all.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
The darkness lifted off the horizon. The eclipse was completely over. Lightning flashed across the sky and fire returned to sight. Nothing would be left undamaged.
And through all the fighting, it was the great battle that everyone was waiting for. All for elements raged through the palms of the avatar as powerful blue flames were tossed back at him. Aang's eyes began to glow with the fury of every single avatar. Ozai was struck down, but the avatar state was too much for Aang. He fell as Katara and Sokka helplessly watched through tear filled eyes. Toph stared down into a dark abyss, knowing what terrible thing was to come.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Katara caught Aang just barely. She lifted him up gently and told him of all the good things he did, and told him that the wrong in the world was now right.
She felt hi slipping away, hoping that he heard that she said, "I love you." Aang quietly whispered the same three words, never knowing about her love for him. But Katara knew. She always would.

All three of them regretted what they had just experienced. None of them could swallow the horrid event. Sokka faced down and fell to his knees, his face soaked. Toph stared out into the open and quietly sat down next to the other two. A tear slid down her cheek, glistening in the light of the sun. Katara hugged Aang's body and sobbed tremendously. They all regretted not being able to save him.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Sokka stood up and yelled out to the sky. He put all his fury in it as Katara told him in a sobbing tone to calm down. But he didn't. Aang was the brother he never had. He said it out loud to the world.

Then Aang's body began to glow and rose into the air. The voices of all the past avatars, including Aang's voice were clearly heard as they all stated the same thing. "Avatar Aang is no more. He is the greatest of all. He will always be remembered."
Then the body rose even higher and slowly disappeared.

Katara stared out off the saddle of Appa. So many memories flashed past her. If only she could've been there to save him…only if she'd known how to.

Sokka gazed towards the sky on Appa's saddle opposite of his sister. He wished he could've been strong enough. He wanted to rewind the clock and save Aang...like he thought it was meant to be: for Aang to survive.

Toph wondered what went wrong with her. How could she not know? How could she not have been there to help?

Aang watched from high in the sky. He knew not one person was happy. But then he saw Katara. She looked up directly at him and smiled. She knew he was always there. Then Aang grinned back.
But they both wanted to redo everything. Then Avatar Roku came up to Aang. "You have been given a reward for saving the world." He said to Aang.

Aang appeared on Appa's saddle. Everyone gaped at him as the wind blew away their overjoyed tears.
