The last story, I hope you like it! I loved writing this one, especially now I've seen The Southern Raiders and the commercial for They Ember Island Players. This is what I think/hope will happen in Sozin's Comet. Also, I would like to thank my reviewers and give them a big hug, their kind responses have helped me a lot to continue this fanfiction.

Disnclamer: I own nothing apart from my imagination.

Warning: This story contains a (mild) spoiler from the commercial for The Ember Island players! If you haven't seen it and don't want to be spoiled, don't read!


Friday: A little change

It was hard. Aang had been fighting the Firelord for quite some time now. Azula had been defeated, yes, but Ozai wasn't about to give up easily. Azula hadn't been either, it had taken several fights and even more people including himself, Toph and Katara to overpower her. They had succeeded, but it wasn't over yet. Aang sliced multiple air blasts through the large room, but Ozai dodged them or countered them with fire. Rocks flew through the air, courtesy of Haru and Toph, but it was useless. Katara and Sokka were fighting helpers of Ozai, sending worried glances over their shoulders every minute to make sure Aang was okay. A waterwhip, even more air blasts and a few boulders were sent to the Firelord, but it didn't work. Aang ran towards him, trying to get a good shot, but he sent so many fire balls towards Aang that he couldn't get closer. Suddenly, an explosion blew Aang thirty feet into the air. A fire blast had collided with one of Toph's boulders and sparks were flying everywhere.

Aang had no time to react, and Firelord Ozai made use of it by sending a huge trail of fire in his direction. Thankfully, the fire alone wasn't powerful enough to kill this time, but Aang was wounded and falling. He couldn't win, he realised. It was going to be over soon. When he would hit the ground, Ozai would surely kill him because he couldn't get up fast enough. It was over, and he closed his eyes as he fell.

Meanwhile, Everybody was thrown away by the explosion, but soon all eyes were on Aang. Katara watched, shocked, as she saw him close his eyes and fall through the darkness. He's going to give up, she realised. But she couldn't, wouldn't, let him give up now. Not when they were this close. Aang wasn't the only one who was getting tired. Drops of sweat covered Ozai's face, and he was panting heavily. But that wasn't the only reason. She couldn't watch helplessly when her best friend, her secret love, was losing. She knew she loved him, but the only reason she had rejected him before was to keep his mind clear from distractions like her. She didn't want him to protect her when he should be protecting himself more. But, she realised, maybe love can be a good distraction too. What if it helps you to keep fighting? After all, the death of my mother has always driven me to keep fighting. Tears were streaming down her face now. She didn't care what the others might think. She couldn't stop herself anymore.

"Aang, don't give up!" she screamed. "Not now! I love you! Do you hear me? I love you!"

His eyes opened. The adrenaline was pumping fast through his veins. She was right. He couldn't give up. Her words had given him new energy. With one swift air blast, he landed on his feet. He saw Ozai's eyes widen in shock and surprise, and he took advantage of it. With his last powers, with all of his strength, he used all of the elements at once. An air blast, a wave of water, a huge rock and a fire shot were sent in one motion. It was enough.

Ozai fell backwards, his eyes seeing nothing anymore. A dull thud, and then silence. Then, a huge cheer erupted from his comrades, his friends. He looked around, and saw everybody running towards him. Katara was there first. She flung her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Aang smiled against her lips and kissed her back. More silence. Then, people started wolf-whistling. They broke the kiss, and Aang was shocked. Happy, but shocked.

"I thought you said…" he began.

"Forget what I said, I was stupid." she answered. And she kissed him again.

The war was finally over.


Thanks for reading, reviews would make me very happy!
