Well… this will be the last chapter of this fanfic, I hope ya enjoy it. I had quite a good time writing this, I'm glad ya have been reading it and giving reviews :-).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well…any last words Avatar?" Aang just sat there in silence.

"Get away from him you monster!!" Katara screamed out in tears. She lashed out her water and froze Ozai it was only temporary for a short time when he broke free immediately.

"Hmph…I will deal with you later after you have the pleasure of watching your friend and only hope for this world die." Katara fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands as she cried heavily. Ozai slowly walked towards Aang again and…

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ozai was walking slowly towards Aang about to deliver the final blow until, out of nowhere…lightning came and struck Ozai right in the heart and he went down immediately. Katara cautiously walked towards Ozai to see if he was dead, Katara didn't feel a pulse…Ozai died immediately. The whole room was silent for a while with confusion and fear until Toph, Sokka, Iroh, and Zuko barged through the throne room doors while Toph barricaded the door with several pieces of earth crossing the door with several boulders reinforcing them to prevent the other Fire Nation soldiers from entering.

Sokka looked at the sight of Ozai laying face first on the ground with Aang on one knee in a great deal of pain, "Did we win!? Yes, this war is finally over!"

"No, we didn't kill him…lightning just came out of nowhere and struck Ozai in the back. He also burnt Aang's left arm." Katara gathered whatever ice she could find from her sudden defense and turned it into water to heal whatever she could heal of Aang's injuries. A few seconds later, Azula walked into the room from the back.

Everyone gave a look of confusion at her appearance and could only say, "Azula?"

"Yeah, it's me. So what…ya weren't expecting me or something?" Azula said casually.

"You…just killed…dad though. Don't you care for him?" Zuko asked.

"Yes I did kill dad, and no I don't care. It's all part of my plan."

"What plan?" Toph said while assuming her stance.

"To be Fire Lord of course, or Fire Lady…whichever you want to call it. I want the throne all to myself, and I will take over everything in this world and turn this world into Fire Nation territory."

"I told ya she was crazy." Iroh said to everyone besides Azula…everyone looked at him for a second and then looked back at Azula.

Katara then got finished healing Aang as much as she could, it was enough to fight, but he still had a little pain he could brush off for the time being, "No you won't Azula, I will end this war and bring peace to this world…for good." Aang stood in his battle stance ready to fight once more.

"If you say so Avatar." Azula then began to attack with a wave of blue fire, which was darker because of the power of the comet. Everyone jumped to either side, Zuko and Iroh sent several fireballs towards Azula…she created a wall of fire to block them all and then dispersed it. Toph quickly created a barrier and blocked everybody from being hit, then started to send pieces of it towards Azula while Aang jumped in the air sending several blasts of air at her, Azula avoided some of the pieces of earth and then jumped in the air doing a backflip to avoid everything else…she made two waves of fire in the shape of an X to counter. Katara was taking time getting whatever water she could get out of the air from what Hama taught her before, Sokka threw his boomerang towards Azula…but she simply ducked and it kept flying. Iroh made several waves of fire that were tough to avoid, Azula avoided all of them but one…she simply shook it off. There was a long pause between the two sides until Sokka's boomerang came back and stuck Azula in the head, Katara took that time and side-swiped Azula with her water and completely incased her with ice. Aang took that time and jumped in the air with a spike made of rock to deliver the final blow, but Azula broke free and sent a massive blast of fire at him...Aang quickly reacted and turned that spike to a small barrier to take most of the force, it sent him flying across the room. Zuko and Iroh teamed up and created a massive fireblast, Azula was too quick though and jumped to the side and barely avoided it. Aang landed on the ground softly with his Airbending and got on one knee in slight pain, Katara noticed and ran to his side.

"Aang, what are we going to do? She is holding all six of us, it's so unbelievable." Katara asked Aang, he looked down to the ground thinking of only one thing they could do to stand a chance and finish this.

Aang looked up at Katara with a sad look, "What can we do?" That was enough for Katara to understand what Aang was implying, and that was to unlock the final chakra and master the Avatar State…thus letting her go.

"No…there has to be another way—"

Aang interrupted Katara, "There isn't another way, we need the Avatar State to stand a chance. I don't want to do it either, but if that is what it takes to end this war," Aang looked down with tears in his eyes, "It will have to be done." Katara couldn't help but just put Aang in a tight embrace.

"Why does it have to end like this Aang? Why?" Katara said in between light sobs.

"I don't know Katara, I don't know." They let go of each other and Aang covered himself in earth to concentrate and meditate. Katara stepped back slowly and went back into the fight, after several moments everybody stared at where Aang was because they could see some light coming out of the dome of earth Aang summoned over him, Azula did the same thing. Then, Aang's eyes began to glow and blew the dome he had to pieces and began to float in the air.

"Oh this again? Are you practically letting me win this battle or something? In any case, I won't mind killing you again Avatar." Azula said while starting to charge her lightning.

"Oh no you don't!!!" Katara shouted as she got whatever ice that was left from before and shot them all towards Azula, it messed up her concentration on charging the lightning. Everybody else went on the offensive to distract Azula from hurting Aang again. It was working, then Aang floated back down and stopped glowing…he finally had the power of the Avatar State while being in control of his actions. Everybody stopped attacking and Aang walked forward slowly and stopped. Azula through a big fire blast at Aang, but he had no trouble taking it and throwing it back at her, she didn't get hit by it…but the force of trying to block it sent her flying into the wall. Aang used Airbending and slammed her against the wall with one hand, while he used the other to get whatever else water there was left and froze her to the wall.

Aang turned his back towards Azula, "You could have lived you know, but I can't let you live for the sake of this world. You would cause harm, and my job is to bring peace to this world no matter the cost."

Azula was about to break free until Aang drove a spike of earth through her heart, he never turned around to see what happened…everybody else turned away right when the spike went through her.

"We won. This war…is over." Those were the last words Aang said before passing out from exhaustion.

"Aang!" Katara shouted while she caught him in her arms.

"Will he be alright?" Sokka asked.

Katara checked him before speaking, "Yeah, he is just exhausted. He needs rest." She picked him up and began to carry him to the door.

"Wait." Iroh warned, "There will most likely be Firebenders waiting outside to make an ambush. Katara, you and Sokka go hide right there while me and Zuko block their attack. Toph, you unlock this door and try to aid us if you can." Toph threw all of the restraints off the door and slowly opened it to several Firebenders ready to attack until they saw Ozai dead on the floor and Azula dead frozen to the wall. They all looked at each other and stood out of their way, everybody walked right past them.

"Wise choice gentlemen." Iroh simply said while passing by. The soldiers ran into the throne room to survey the damage that had been done.

Meanwhile when Aang was unconscious, he was talking to Avatar Roku in the Spirit World.

"It's good to see you Aang, you finally achieved your destiny and ended this war. I am proud of you, and I am proud of your commitment to master the Avatar State."

Aang bowed to him, "Thank you Avatar Roku."

"So…how do you feel for Katara now." After Roku said that, Aang could see everybody walking towards Appa in a vision, he looked at Katara carrying his unconscious body.

Aang smiled at her sight, "I feel…happy." Aang then realized something, "Wait a minute, I still have feelings for her? I thought I had to let her go to master the Avatar State, that is what the guru told me."

Roku couldn't help but laugh at his reaction, "I told you before Aang, being the Avatar doesn't hurt your chance with the ladies. Also, you clearly misunderstood the guru. When he said 'let her go'…you were thinking that you would no longer have any emotions for her at all, what he meant was that you would not put your earthly attachments first before your Avatar duties. Your duties as the Avatar are the most important thing you have to worry about; you can't let anything else get in the way of that. When my home was being destroyed by the volcano, I could have joined my wife and the others and be safely somewhere else, but I had to stay and try to protect my home from being destroyed because it was one of my duties as the Avatar."

Aang only smiled and gave a hug to Roku, "Thank you Avatar Roku, for being my guide, for giving me advice, for everything."

"You're quite welcome Aang."

"So…what should I do now? The war is over right?"

"Yes it is over, but there will still be things that will have to be attended to…such as trying to keep peace between the nations and helping the Fire Nation get things straight. Though, besides that…now you can live a normal life…sort of." Roku gave a small laugh.

"Haha, very funny." Aang said sarcastically.

"So, will I ever see you again Roku?"

"You might see me again in the future. Though, you seem to know just about everything there is to know about being the Avatar. Now, we will have to part ways for now, you have to wake up now."

"Okay, thank you Roku." Roku bowed to Aang as he disappeared from the Spirit World.

Iroh and Zuko stayed behind in the Fire Nation to give a hand in getting things straight again after a war that lasted 100 years, everybody else was planning on flying back to the South Pole to celebrate the end of a long journey and a victory. They were camped out for the night because Appa was tired of flying.

"Don't worry Katara, Aang will be fine. We will keep an eye on him right Toph?" Sokka said.

"Yeah, you don't have anything to worry about." Toph said in agreement.

"Alright alright. I'll be right back." Katara left get some supplies while Sokka and Toph got their camping gear set up. After they got Aang's tent set up, Sokka picked him up and laid him on his bed. After setting up the other tents, Sokka and Toph sat around the fire for a while until they heard a familiar voice behind them.

"Hey ya." Aang walked to the two.

The two looked at each other out of shock and back towards him and shouted, "Aang!" They both gave him a hug.

"How long was I out for? I remember saying something and then I passed out."

"You were out for a day." Sokka answered.

Aang noticed Zuko and Iroh weren't around, "Where is Zuko and Iroh?"

"They stayed behind to help get the Fire Nation straight." Toph answered.

"Katara is going to be so happy now that you are awake." Sokka said.

"Oh…Katara." Aang paused for a second, "Was she worried about me?"

"Of course she was. She carried you from the throne room to Appa and stood next to you for the whole time." Toph explained.

"Where is she now?"

"She is out getting supplies in the nearby village." Sokka answered. Aang nodded his head and all three sat around the fire talking about stuff, then Aang decided to go back into his tent and lay on his bed to think.

Katara came back from the town with the supplies needed for the trip back to the South Pole.

"I'm back ya." she laid the supplies down on the ground, "Is Aang alright?"

"Yeah, he is doing fine…but maybe you should check on him just in case." Sokka answered.

"Alright then." Katara walked towards the tent while Sokka and Toph kept their laughter to themselves at giving Katara the surprise of her life. She walked in and noticed Aang's eyes opened staring at the roof in thought.

Katara let out a gasp, "Aang!?"

Aang looked at Katara and smiled and calmly said, "Hey."

"Aang!!!" Katara shouted as she gave Aang a bear hug, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, but can I breathe please?" Aang said in a strained voice, Katara immediately let go and Aang gasped for air.

"Oh…sorry about that," Katara laughed a little, "So…how do you feel?"

"I feel fine, only a little sore, but—"

"Well, how do you feel about…me though?" Katara said in a quiet voice.

Aang smiled and put a hand on her cheek, "The same way Katara."

Katara was so happy and confused about what he said, "You really do? Wait a minute, I thought you had to let go of me to master the Avatar State."

"Well, that is what I thought too, but while I was unconscious Roku told me that I misunderstood it and thought I had to let go of any emotions I had for you. I only had to let go of my earthly attachments that would hinder my Avatar duties. Roku said that those were my most important things to think about, and I shouldn't put anything else above them. When Roku's home was being destroyed by the volcano, he could have been in one of the boats with his wife and people and lived for another day, but he had to be at that island to try to protect his home…it was his duty to do so, so he stayed."

Katara was too overjoyed at what Aang said, she kissed him on the lips for about 5 seconds, after stopping, "I love you Aang."

"I love you too Katara."

The two were silent for a moment until Aang asked, "So…now that the war is over, where am I going to go?"

"Well that's easy Aang, you can come with us and live at the South Pole."

"You think so Katara?"

"I know so Aang."

After several days of flying, they all eventually made it back to the South Pole and celebrated a victory and continued to live normal lives once more. The war was finally over, the nations lived in peace again, and Zuko became the new Fire Lord after Iroh refused to take the throne…instead, Iroh became Zuko's advisor, and his new father-figure.

Alright, I apologize much about that ending if it was not good…I couldn't think of anything else better (I know, I'm terrible :-P). Anyways, I was thinking about doing a sequel or just keep adding chapters to this about what happens after the war and stuff, though I'm still unsure of whether to do so or not. I'll leave that one to ya, do ya want me to or not? I hope ya liked this while it lasted, it was so fun for me to write this
