What? Aang, no fair!

Let's get him! Come on, hurry up!

Hi, Nemo. Good morning, Aang. Hey, Midman. Oh, hello, Egg.

Oh, perfect timing.

I don't mind giving me a lift.

I'm getting old, you know. My body doesn't move like it used to.

I'm kind of in the middle of something.

You are so heavy.

Heavy? Me?

I eat nothing but vegetables.

Pie is not a vegetable.

I'm going to lose the race.

Race? What race?

We won!

We won!

We won!

Ang,

as an airbender, It's important that you know when to show restraint.

Even if you have the power to win, you are the Avatar.

A lot of people are going to rely on you.

He's gone!

He ran away!

Was I asleep for long?

Okay, okay.

I'm awake already.

I know, I know. We've got a job to finish.

Let's continue our journey.

Back to our old home.

This may not have been our best trip, but any airbender relic we find makes it

all worthwhile.

This could be the oldest piece in our collection.

I miss you.

Momo, go outside with Appo.

Now!

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

I don't want to hurt you.

Where is it? Where is it? No, that's not it. Hey, those are antiques.

Wait!

No! That's a thousand years old!

Maybe I can help. We don't need your help, Avatar.

We're done living in a world where vendors have all the power and we have

Who are you? We're the Denied. The Denied?

Just kill him already.

No, he'll bring the whole place down.

Thank you.

Momo, I'm fine.

But we've got to get to Republic City.

Apa! Yip yip!

Water.

Her tribes gather strength from the moon and flow with the tide.

Earth, a kingdom of unshakable will, reliable and strong.

Fire, made incapable of great destruction, but also

of great warmth.

Air,

Peaceful nomads with the power of a hurricane, but the spirit of a gentle

breeze.

For generations, the Avatar, the one master of all four elements, kept them

balance.

But when that responsibility fell to me as a child, I ran away.

I was caught in a deadly storm, but my Avatar spirit preserved me in a sphere

energy where I stayed.

for a hundred years.

I woke to discover that the balance preserved by the Avatar had been

by war.

The Air Nomads were gone.

All but one.

Me.

I could no longer run from my responsibilities as the Avatar.

I found allies from every nation.

Benders. And non -benders.

Katara? Taught me how to waterbend.

Toph trained me in the ways of the earthbenders.

Zuko, once my worst enemy, became my firebending teacher.

Sokka showed me that bravery is the most important part of being a leader.

We became a family.

And together, we ended the Hundred Year War.

Then, we began the hard work of rebuilding the world.

For so long, the nation stood apart, alone, and we all suffered as a result.

But here, on this ancient site, we created a place where all people are

bender and non -bender alike, working together in peace to build the future.

Though there are still those who would seek to divide us, we remain united.

As a council representative, I am honored to be here today.

celebrating the anniversary of Republic City and the opening of Unity Tower, a

symbol for all people.

Hey! Katara!

You're hurt.

Take a deep breath.

And exhale.

I've heard the denier growing in numbers.

But they've never done anything like this.

Attacking the Avatar?

Yeah. They were incredible fighters.

Even without bending.

Oops. Ow.

We threw it.

Be honest.

You're enjoying this.

Hey, this is serious.

Whatever this map they took was, if they were willing to kill the Avatar to get

it, what else are they willing to do?

I don't know.

I'm worried about you.

You're spending more and more time at the air temple, alone.

It's how I hold on to my past.

I know how hard this is for you.

When I was attacked, all I could think about was that this could be it.

I'm the last airbender.

If I die, my culture dies with me.

You may be the last airbender, but you're not alone.

Aang, none of this would exist without you.

You made the city possible with your heart and your mind.

Because of you, all of the nations live here, together.

All except mine.

I know.

But the people here still need your protection.

You're an airbender.

But you're also the Avatar.

You're right.

Whoever this Sonam person is, I need to find out more.

Avatar Roku.

It is good to see you again.

How can I help you?

In your lifetime, did you ever hear of an ancient airbender named Sona?

I have not, but you have many past lives to call upon.

Perhaps one further back in the Avatar cycle can help you.

Thank you, Avatar Roku.

I'm sorry.

I've never heard of Sona.

Perhaps earlier.

Not here. Not here.

Um, hello?

Is there anyone here?

Hello?

You look like an avatar from a time quite distant from mine. Please, please,

tell me about your rat. What are people wearing?

Are sandals still a thing?

Uh, yes.

Oh, why?

Why, after so many years, open toes in someone else's crusty cuticles?

That's disgusting.

Right. Anyway, I have computer guidance.

You see, I was attacked.

It was not me, okay? It wasn't me. I know that.

I think it might have something to do with an airbender named Sonam. Hmm.

Sonam. It sounds familiar.

Sonam. Where have I heard that name before? Aha!

Sonam was the youngest daughter of the owner of the possum chicken shop at the

corner marketplace.

Wait, that was my ex, Soniam. If only she didn't have those humongous

Disgusting. This is going nowhere.

Well,

thank you for your time.

I must... Continue my search.

Oh, Sona.

You're asking about the legend of the lost Avatar.

Sona was an Avatar?

Indeed she was.

She was the Avatar in the golden age of airbenders.

Legend said she had a staff that could channel the vast energy of the spirit

world, granting its keeper unlimited power.

Is that even possible?

Eh, we'll never know for sure.

Many avatars have tried to communicate with her, but they couldn't. She

disappeared so completely that it was as if she never existed.

And perhaps it's better that way.

Maybe such a staff was too dangerous for anyone to possess.

Even the avatar.

But that's exactly why I need to find it. The people who attacked me

a map. It must lead to the staff.

Avatar Shion, please.

You have to tell me where it is.

The legend says that Sonam disappeared with her staff on the peak of Mount

Baihu.

Katara, I'm sorry to leave so suddenly, but I found out what the Denider are

after.

Sonam had a staff of immense power, and in their hands, it could be a

devastating weapon.

They have a head start.

There's no time to waste.

You take Oppa and Momo and gather up the rest of the team.

We're gonna need some help.

Next on the agenda, a Fire Nation naval vessel came into conflict with an

extremist group of non -benders called the Denied. They've been robbing ancient

sites. Your Majesty!

An urgent message has arrived from Republic City. How impudent.

Can't you see Fire Lord Zuko is... Chamberlain.

There's only one person who can send a message urgent enough to interrupt the

Fire Lord's counsel.

Is it from the Avatar?

Yes, my lord. Read it to me. Yes, my lord.

What are you doing? Read it quickly.

Yes, Grand Chamberlain.

Flamio Hartman, how's ruling the Fire Nation?

I hope the boring Chamberlain you mention in your letters isn't still

you. Anywho, to cut to the chase, I need your help. Can you please come

immediately? Oh, and don't forget to bring some firecracker buns.

Allow me to present soccer cycle.

Flames launch you into the sky where you can drop water bombs on your enemies.

Then geese pop out to help you stick the landing.

Pretty great, right?

Eh, boring.

Why would you need a sled when you can just water bend?

Oh, oh, oh, like me, like me.

Keep in mind, there's still plenty of folks like me who can't bend.

Why would Avatar Aang partner with a non -bender?

Why? I'll tell you why.

I saved him from the iceberg.

My boomerang flew by his side while I carried away enemies with my trusty

I even took down the whole Fire Nation airship armada.

And on top of all that, I was more popular than him.

You're such a liar, Thalka.

It's from the Avatar.

Wow! Really?

Oh, so now you think I'm cool?

All right, metal benders.

Let's see if any of you tenderfoots can at least make me use my hands.

Master Toph, there's a bird on your head. And?

It looks like it has a message.

Read.

It's from Avatar Aang. He needs your help.

The denied?

Where is he?

Mount Baihu.

I love that hat.

Could that be you?

Who are you?

Thank you.

rescue you made it you couldn't wait a day before running off to get yourself

killed I thought you were here looking for a staff who's this guy

How did he hold up an entire mountain?

His chi is strong, like nothing I've ever felt.

Hey, Avatar, you think this guy beat your record for longest frozen

Yeah. How long do you think he was in that ice?

I don't know.

The tattoos look ancient.

He's been in there a long time.

He smells good for an old guy. Ew.

What? Just tell me this guy is pretty attractive. Someone else confirm.

This is serious. What does attractive even mean? Just give me a straight

confirmation. Is he attractive?

He's very attractive.

Huh?

What? He is.

It's all in the bone structure.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

Earthbender. No, no, no.

We're all friends here.

It's okay.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the mountain.

Where is she?

Where is Avatar Sonam?

You knew Sonam?

Who are you?

I don't know how to explain it, but you've been asleep for a long time.

I'm the Avatar now.

I'm Aang.

If you're the Avatar, then Sonam.

Well, Sona might be long gone, but on the bright side, you woke up at the

perfect time.

Everyone will be amazed to see another airbender. Aang's not the last one

anymore.

What do you mean, last?

The air nomads.

They've been wiped out.

There's only me.

Sonam Staff, do you have it?

It's our only hope now.

What do you mean?

I thought it was a weapon.

The Staff is no weapon.

It is a gift.

With it, Sonam was able to channel the vast power of the spirit world.

It was this power that allowed Jorana to flourish.

The greatest city in the world. An air nomad utopia.

where Sonam presided over a golden age of balance, and where I devoted my life

to serving her.

In return, she raised me up and used her staff to give me, a lowly non -bender,

the power to bend the air.

I was the first, but I would not be the last.

She filled the skies with airbenders, and we flew by her side, spreading peace

across the world.

Are you okay?

Sonam used the staff to give people airbending.

If we found it, I could bring airbending back to the world.

This is incredible. There haven't been airbenders for over 100 years.

This is everything you ever wanted, Aang.

We could heal the greatest atrocity my nation committed in the war.

This could be the final step to rebuilding the world.

Not if the denied get there first. They have the map.

Who are the denied?

A group of violent non -benders.

They... they must be after the staff to give themselves airbending.

Then there's no time to waste.

There's only one place it could be.

Ready your bison.

We'll need to travel across the endless ocean.

On the other side of the world?

But there's nothing out there.

There's an island.

The journey will not be easy.

But we can make it.

Then let's get going.

The skies are no place for a water child.

Water child?

Um, I know you just woke up after thousands of years, but we do these

together. Trust me.

We're stronger this way.

Welcome to Team Avatar.

What's your name?

Taga.

My name is Taga.

a big metal air bison.

We will travel ancient paths through the sky.

Ones that our people learned by following the great air bison herds that

ago taught us airbending.

Air currents known only to us, encircling the great sphere of

allowing us to travel where we wish.

Giving us our name, the Air Nomads.

What's he doing?

He's really feeling that air.

He's navigating by instinct.

What if his instincts are just wrong?

Who needs instincts when you've got muscles like that?

Or what if his brain is messed up from being frozen?

Like me?

Uh, no, no! He was frozen for 5 ,000 years, okay? You were frozen for, what,

100? Okay, that's nothing. Your brain is fresh.

Maybe he is a little old -fashioned, but look at him.

He's so in tune with his element, he can travel across the entire ocean with no

map, no instruments.

There's so much I can learn from him.

I'd give anything to be able to see my Air Bison again.

To see only one remains.

Fang, you said our people were wiped out, yet you survived.

How?

I had just found out I was the Avatar.

But the responsibility, it was too much.

So I ran away.

While I was gone, the Fire Nation attacked.

They were looking for me.

If... If I'd just been there.

Sonam would say, Air nomads are formed from the mist.

We walk the world for a moment in time.

Then we return to the eternal wind.

Monk Yatso taught me that.

We carry the same weight.

A grief no one else could possibly comprehend.

But you and I can heal the past.

Let me show you how powerful our element can be when airbenders work together.

What are you doing?

This is how Sodom taught me.

Feel the energy that tethers us.

The bond between us. Can you feel it? Use it.

This is amazing!

Yes!

Woo -hoo!

Oh, yeah!

Human boomerang! He's actually flying. So are we.

Whoa, that's my best friend! That's my best friend!

Now you throw me!

I had no idea this was possible.

This is only the beginning.

I can't believe it.

Airbenders will fill the sky again.

We have been given a great gift.

The chance to redeem ourselves.

You are destined to find me on that mountain, Aang.

How did you end up there?

The Earthbenders had attacked Tirana.

Sonim and I fought fearlessly, side by side.

We drove them back to Mount Baihu.

And that's the last I remember.

She must have saved your life.

Only an Avatar could have put you in that sphere.

Aang, can I ask you something?

Of course.

If the Fire Nation destroyed the Air Nomads...

How can you suffer the presence of the Fire Lord?

Zuko is a friend and an ally.

He turned against his own father to help me end the war.

Yet he wears the crown himself now.

Fire by its nature burns, Aang.

Our kind have always suffered at the hands of the other elements.

That's why we built Republic City.

To show the world that if we listen to each other...

We can all live together, in peace.

And once we bring back airbenders, it'll be complete.

When everyone stuck to their own, the whole world was nearly torn apart.

And besides, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, they're my family now.

I want to live in a world where we can all be together.

You remind me so much of Sonam.

It's the Avatar.

And this time he's got his friends with him.

That's the Fire Lord's airship.

How'd they get ahead of us? They don't even have the map.

We can't risk him getting to the staff first.

Kill him. But he spared our lives.

And how many countless were killed in the hundred years waiting for his

Where was he when your family was wiped out?

If we want anything to change... We need what the benders have.

Power.

Keep crushing the ship?

Haga?

Haga, stop!

The Immortal Storm.

Oh, no.

There has to be another way around.

No. Together, you and I can clear a path to the ship. But we have to go now.

Aang, trust me.

Maybe now's a good time to turn back.

I don't think that's an option anymore.

Where are they going?

We're losing air pressure.

Tara, come with me. What about me? Take the wheel. What?

I've only ever crashed Fire Nation airships.

Okay, let's see. Here's our rudder. Here's the elevator.

There's our pallet. And there's the giant tornado that's going to kill us

Walk with me, just like I showed you.

We can harness...

Yes!

That's it, Aang! Keep going!

Don't lose it. It's not that easy, especially when everything is sideways.

We have to go back.

Trust in your friends.

They won't make it if we don't clear a path.

Zuko, we're going to crash into the sea.

When I give you the signal, pull the lever next to the wheel.

Give me the signal! Give me the signal!

thinking. I was clearing the tornadoes to make a path.

The ship almost crashed, Aang. We could have died. And what if you got yourself

killed? You're the Avatar.

This is too risky. We need to turn back now.

No.

We're almost there.

We just need to get to the eye of the storm.

Aang, no. This is too dangerous.

The staff is out there. They denied her after it.

Do you really believe that they could make it through the storm? We're nearly

there. That staff can bring back my people. I understand how much you want

but... You don't understand. None of you do.

Aang.

We push forward.

If we generate enough air, we can push our way through.

We made it through.

Thank you, Taga.

It was you, Aang.

We're here because of you.

Yeah, we're having a good time, too. You could have told us we were flying into

the immortal storm.

I know it was dangerous, but we had to risk it. We?

I don't remember when we took a vote on that. There wasn't time. I had to make a

call. Friends, please, don't blame Aang.

This is all my fault.

I knew this would be difficult.

But Aang believed in your strength as a team.

And I'm honored to be a part of it.

I forgive you, Taga.

Everyone, look.

These islands, they were lion turtles.

Whoa.

It's beautiful.

Long before my time, the lion turtles granted the gift of bending to humans.

These are their final resting grounds.

This is where Sonam came to learn their ways.

I am certain that she left her staff here.

Where should we start looking?

Aang, you must connect with her.

But no one can connect with Sona.

The spiritual power of the Lion Turtles is still concentrated here.

Let it guide you.

We'll set out immediately.

Actually, Taga, we could really use your help here.

If the Denied are close behind, we need to be ready. Yeah, and we're going to

need more than Toph's metal bending to fix this.

My bending got it through that storm. What did you do?

Steered with his feet.

Repairs can wait.

Aang needs me.

Taka, please, stay and help my friends.

I'll be okay on my own.

As you wish.

We will begin repairs for our voyage home.

Everyone, I know I've asked a lot of you on this journey, but we're about to

accomplish something that will change the world.

This is turning out to be a nice little vacation.

Aside from all the people trying to kill us.

And the tornadoes. Um, we're supposed to be fixing the ship.

You're doing great, buddy.

Has anyone seen Taga?

Yes, we've all seen Taga. He's so gorgeous. Jeez, I get it.

Oh, I see what you mean. He wandered off that way.

No, maybe...

Where are you going?

Aang needs to be protected.

I agree.

I know my ways may seem unusual.

But I assure you, everything I do, I do for Aang. For Aang? Or for the staff?

You have no idea all that we've lost.

You've never known a world with airbenders.

I know Aang.

He may be the last of his kind.

But he's the reason this world knows peace.

His values as an air nomad have brought balance to chaos.

It's because of Aang that the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, and Fire Nation

work together, striving for harmony.

A peace we once thought unattainable.

You speak of peace.

There will never be peace among the elements.

There never was.

Your precious Republic City is built on lies.

It's built on hope.

Do you have hope, Taga? Saving my people requires more than just hope. It

requires sacrifice.

I saw you try to crush the Denied's airships. You were ready to kill them.

I know what kind of airbender Aang is.

But what kind of airbender are you?

Aang did well getting us here.

There is great strength in him, but weakness as well.

Weakness? Yes.

You.

What's a hot monkey?

Front video!

Brother.

Taga. It's real.

We can finally bring back Air Pendant.

Let's go tell the others.

We can do this. Me and you.

I can't do this without my friends.

Earth killed my people. Fire killed yours.

The Staff is the only way we can create a new Air Empire.

One capable of defending itself.

No. We can build a new future, Taka.

But it has to be for everyone.

The Staff doesn't belong to everyone.

It belongs to us. What... what have you done?

As long as they were around, you'd always put them ahead of our people.

Don't you see?

This is how we redeem ourselves.

It doesn't matter that you ran then.

As long as you stand with me now. Now. Hey, listen to me. I can't. This is the

only way.

You're a traitor to your own.

Just like Dono.

do this with you by my side but if i must build a new air empire alone so be

it

The Avatar is dead.

If you wish to build a new world where you have the power, I can give it to

my fault.

It's always been my fault.

Ever since I ran away.

No Avatar has ever fallen in such shame as to join me here in my sorrow.

Why do you grieve so, friend?

Avatar Sonam?

Taga murdered my friends.

And now he has his staff.

Taga? No.

No, I... I stopped him.

I hit the staff.

What have you done?

You're the one who gave him airbending.

How could you give power to a monster?

The Taga I gave bending to was a different man.

It was a different time.

The airbenders were the peacekeepers of the four elements.

We used our power to mediate all conflict with non -violence.

But we were the fewest in numbers.

For many years, we existed in a beautiful balance of great prosperity.

But the world began to shift.

The earthbenders formed their own kingdom, separating from the other

tribes.

The balance of the world was at risk.

It was my duty to act.

So I learned how to channel the energy of the spirit world just as the lion

turtles did.

To give people the power.

Of airbending.

My most devout pupil, Taga, was the first to receive it.

I sent my new peacekeepers out to help calm the growing unrest.

But they were not prepared for the brutality of the New Earth Kingdom.

Taga watched as his brothers and sisters were all slaughtered.

His heart darkened by the violence of war.

He now saw everyone who wasn't an air nomad as the enemy.

Taga begged me to use the staff to create an army and to kill all who would

us harm.

I refused.

Though he stole it.

When he connected the staff to the temple, his energy was so corrupted by

and rage that the power of the spirit world consumed him.

Taga became something more than human.

too powerful to kill.

It took all my energy to finally trap him high above the clouds, and no one

would find him.

I reclaimed the staff, but I was fatally wounded.

Before the Earth Kingdom could invade Gerana, I sent the remaining air nomads

into the mountains, and I hid my temple in the spirit world where no one could

access its power.

And then I locked the staff away.

Where only the Avatar could find it.

I died, hoping that one day, another Avatar would create more airbenders and

restore balance to this world.

And that Avatar is you, Aang. You have to get my staff before Targa connects it

to the temple.

There's still time.

Don't let my regret become yours.

My friends and I fought hard for this peace.

I won't let him start another war.

Help me find a way back.

Soto?

What's happening?

No!

No! Please! I have to fix this!

This can't be it! I can't die yet! Please!

Not yet!

No!

Katara?

I was so worried.

Aang! Sokka!

I knew you'd pull through, buddy.

Hey, Aang.

Zuko! Mamo!

Welcome back, Twinkle Toes.

Toph, you're okay.

I... I thought you were all dead.

We were, but Katara saved us.

The spiritual power of these waters strengthened my healing ability.

You're incredible, Katara.

Where is Appa?

Taga must have taken him.

I'm sorry.

No.

I can't believe I trusted him.

We'll get through this.

So, let me get this straight. He's pulling Sonam's temple out of the spirit

world to gain unlimited power, and let me guess, you want us to stop him?

Only problem is your air bro crushed our ship and stole your bison.

Also, there's a massive typhoon surrounding us!

I don't say this very often, but Taka's right.

Thank you.

Yep, we're stuck.

And there aren't enough lion turtles for all of us to have our own island, so

I'm calling this one. I'm naming him Snappy.

Aw, Snappy is the best one.

I know.

We may not know where Taka is.

But we know what he's looking for is in the spirit world.

And lucky for us, we're stuck in the most spiritually charged place on the

planet.

So I may be able to open a portal to get us there.

If I summon an old friend.

Wow.

The ocean spirit.

This coral smells an awful lot like the fish market.

I'm gonna go check on Snappy.

Face your death with honor.

I'm sorry.

I know I got us into this, but I promise you I'll fix it.

We'll fix it.

Together.

Uh, were my hands always this small?

It's Baby Toph! Baby Toph!

What the hog monkey?

Oh, people!

Grand -grand?

That's your sister, you meathead!

Give me Toph. There, there, Toph. Oh, no, Zuko! What happened to your

face? You look like a dried sea squid.

No, Zuko!

What's going on here?

The spirit world is out of balance.

And so are we.

That's our tongue.

Oh no!

Holy s***! throwing a temple into our world. We're running out of time.

Oh,

pretty good landing.

Whoa, humans. I love humans.

Two brothers, their little sister, and an elderly couple. Not a couple. Whoa,

looks like I touched a nerve.

Oh, look at this one. Hello.

Oh, no.

Bad talk.

We don't bite strangers.

Great Spirit, excuse me. Did you just come from that temple in the sky?

I certainly did.

It was my favorite hidey hole. And so that dark, yucky energy started

this whole site.

Please, we need your help getting up there.

It's my duty to stop this.

I'm the Avatar.

Ooh,

the Avatar.

Let me have a squiz at you. Okay, that was a sign.

And this eye. Mm -hmm. And this eye. Oh, don't forget this eye. Hey, hey!

Can we hurry it up?

Snip, check!

Oh,

that's aphidomysia real right there.

Yes, it is.

Oh!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It appears the universe has brought us together for a

very important mission.

No, no, no, no, no, no. I am not going back up there.

Hmm,

well, when you put it like that, it does make more sense.

One reflection, I've decided I shall help you and your human -y friends.

What did he say?

Nice work, Momo.

All right, in you go.

By the way, no eating anything you find in my teeth, as I'm saving that for

later. Ready, set, get steady and fret. One and a two and a you know what to do.

Blast!

I know we haven't known each other very long, but I love you!

It's Republic City.

We can't let him destroy everything we've built.

We won't.

I see I underestimated you, Avatar.

Your friends are stronger than I thought.

But you're too late.

They denied.

You see? I did what you wanted, Aang. I returned airbending to the world.

What's the plan?

We'll deal with the denied. You have to get the staff.

I will rebuild Geronimo in the ruins of our enemies, just as they did on ours.

A new heir empire will rise.

Kill them all.

Is it the way we can use the staff to bring back balance, peace? You care so

much about your ideals that you'd let your people die.

I will do anything to make sure they survive.

power now. You can decide how to use it. I'm not like you. The world hasn't been

good to me. The world is what we make it. Get away from her!

betrayed me you betrayed our culture i gave you every chance to see the truth

shouldn't you be

in the fire nation i'm fighting for the peace of all nations

big talk from someone who sits at a throne built on a century

of war

avatar here to save you.

Let's see if your fancy new bending can beat some good old non -bending know

-how.

Good luck saving your city.

We have to save as many people as we can.

I know what you've been through.

You don't know.

I watched as all of my brothers and sisters were slaughtered. And the Fire

Nation burned the Air Nomads to ash.

Where were you?

of the Spirit.

You should have run away like you did all those years ago, little Avatar.

I won't run.

Then at least you'll die knowing you're not the last airbender.

He's got the staff. Yeah, kick his butt, Mega Aang. No, something's wrong. The

power is corrupting him.

I dreamt of bringing the Air Gnomes back to the world as peacekeepers.

They could have been a beacon of light for the world to follow, but you ruined

it! You twisted my dream into a nightmare!

Finally, you have the power the Air Nomads need.

Maybe there is hope for you after all.

Do it!

Use the staff!

Show me you have the strength! to bring our people back!

You will do so many great things as the Avatar, but you must be prepared to do

what frightens you the most.

Your people, your home, we are always with you.

Why did you break it?

We could have fixed everything.

We can't erase the pain of the past.

We couldn't save them.

But it's our duty to protect our people.

Not at the cost of betraying everything they stood for. No.

It's time to let go.

You have to forgive yourself.

I have to forgive myself too.

Nomads are formed from the mist.

We walk the world for a moment in time.

Then we return to the eternal wind.

Hey, Katara.

Hey, Aang.

Seriously?

You do realize you're falling, right?

Hey, if you ever get tired of relying on Alpha, I can hook you up with one of

these babies.

I don't know if airbending will ever return, but I know now that the true

of the air nomads was never their bending.

It was their values.

And that's the power I can pass on to others.

Avatar Aang, you are the true embodiment of the air nomad.

Thank you for giving up the power that I could not.

You give me hope for the future of our culture.

It's amazing, isn't it?

The first new air temple in centuries.

Republic City is finally complete.

A city for all nations, just like you promised.

I never could have done this without you, Katara.

Hey, everybody.

Sorry I kept you all waiting.

Are you ready for our big trip?

As my new acolyte... You'll be helping me preserve our culture for future

generations.

So, who wants to search for artifacts at an ancient abandoned temple?

Yay.

I'm only going to make sure you don't try to release another beefy old

airbender. Yeah, I'm done with bad boys.

Avatar Stronum told me about this place.

So it's very possible that no one's been here in hundreds of years.

Oh! Is this an airbender relic? I think that's just a rock.

But I love the enthusiasm!

Keep your eyes open.

They never know what we might discover here.

I can't believe it the original airbender
