Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.

Then, everything changed when
the Fire nation attacked.

Only the Avatar, master of all
four elements, could stop them.

But when the world needed
him most, he vanished.

A hundred years passed and my brother
and I discovered the new Avatar...

an airbender named Aang.

And although his airbending
skills are great,...

he has a lot to learn before
he's ready to save anyone.

But I believe Aang
can save the world.

So, what's the new plan?

The new plan, is the old plan.

You just need to master all four elements

and confront the Fire Lord
before the comet comes.

Where am I supposed to
get a firebending teacher.

Hello. Zuko here, I think it's
time I joined your group...

and taught the Avatar firebending.

And I know my destiny is to help
you restore balance to the world.

I think you are supposed to
be my firebending teacher.

I know you're nervous, but remember�

Firebending in and of itself
is not something to fear.

Ok. Not something to fear.

But if you don't respect it,

it'll chew you up and spit you
out like an angry komodo-rhino!

Now show me what you've got.
Any amount of fire you can make.

Maybe I need a little more instruction.
Perhaps a demonstration?

Good idea. You might want to
take a couple steps back.

What was that!? That was the worst
firebending I've ever seen!

I thought it was, nice.

Why is this happening?

- Maybe it's the altitude.
- Yeah, could be.

- Just breathe, and...
- That one kind of felt hot.

Don't patronize me.
You know what it's supposed to look like!

Sorry Sifu Hotman.

And stop calling me that!

Hey, jerks. Mind if I watch you
two jerks do your jerkbending?

Get out of here!

Ok, take it easy.
I was just kidding around.

Don't look at me.
I didn't touch your stuff.

I'm talking about my firebending.
It's gone.

I'm sorry.
I'm just laughing at the irony.

You know� how it would have been nice for us
if you lost your firebending a long time ago?

Well it's not lost. It's just
weaker for some reason.

Maybe you're just not as
good as you think you are.

Ouch.

I bet it's because I changed sides.

That's ridiculous.

I don't know. Maybe it isn't.

Maybe your firebending
comes from rage...

.. and you just don't have enough anger
to fuel it the way you used to.

So, all we need to do is make
Zuko angry� easy enough.

Ok, cut it out! Look�
even if you're right...

I don't want to rely on
hate and anger anymore.

There has to be another way.

You're gonna need to learn to draw
your firebending from a different source.

I recommend the original source.

How's he supposed to do that?
By jumping into a volcano?

No. Zuko needs to go back to whatever
the original source of firebending is.

So is it jumping into a volcano?

I don't know.

For earthbending, the original
benders were badgermoles.

One day, when I was little,
I ran away and hid in a cave.

That's where I met them.

They were blind, just like me...

so we understood each other.
I was able to learn earthbending...

I was able to learn earthbending...

not just as a martial art,
but as an extension of my senses.

For them, the original earthbenders,

it wasn't just about fighting. It was their
way of interacting with the World.

That's amazing, Toph. I learned from the monks,
but the original airbenders were the Sky Bison.

Maybe you can give me a
lesson sometime buddy.

Well, this doesn't help me.

The original firebenders were the
dragons, and they're extinct.

What do you mean?

Roku had a dragon, and there were
plenty of dragons when I was a kid.

Well, they aren't around anymore, okay?

Ok, ok. I'm sorry.

Zuko: But maybe there's another way...

The first people to learn from the dragons
were the ancient Sun Warriors.

Sun Warriors? Well, I know they
weren't around when I was a kid.

No, they died off thousands of years ago,

but their civilization wasn't too
far from where we are now.

Maybe we can learn something
by poking around their ruins.

It's like the monks used to tell me.

Sometimes, the shadows of the past
can be felt by the present.

So, what?

Maybe you'll pick up some super old Sun Warrior energy
just by standing here they stood 1000 years ago?

Zuko: More or less. Either I
find a new way to firebend,

or the Avatar has to
find a new teacher.

We've been riding for hours.

I don't know why, but I thought
this thing would be a lot faster.

Appa's right, Zuko. In our group,

typically we start out our missions
with a more upbeat attitude.

Zuko: I can't believe this.

Aang: Don't worry.
You'll get the hang of it.

Whoa!

Zuko: Even though these
buildings are ancient,

there's something eerily
familiar about them.

I can tell the Fire Sages' temples
are somehow descended from these.

Ok, we learned something
about architecture.

Hopefully, we'll learn something about firebending too.
The past can be a great teacher.

Zuko, I think the past
is trying to kill me.

I can't believe it. This booby trap
must be centuries old, and it still works.

Aang: There's probably a lot more.
Maybe this means we shouldn't be here.

Where's that upbeat attitude
you were talking about?

Besides, people don't make traps unless
they've got something worth protecting.

Look. This seems promising.

Though I'm not sure what this tells us
about the original source of firebending.

They look pretty angry to me.

Aang: I thought the dragons were
friends with the Sun Warriors.

Zuko: Well, they had a
funny way of showing it.

Zuko, something happened to the
dragons in the last 100 years.

Something you're not telling me.

My great-grandfather Sozin happened.

He started the tradition of
hunting dragons for glory.

They were the ultimate firebenders.

And if you could conquer one,

your firebending talents
would become legendary...

and you'd earn the
honorary title "Dragon".

The last great dragon was conquered
long before I was born, by my Uncle.

But I thought your Uncle
was, I don't know, good?

He had a complicated past.

Family tradition, I guess.
Let's just move on.

It's locked up.

Wait. It's a celestial calendar.

Just like the Fire Sages
have in their temples.

I bet that Sun Stone opens the door,

but only when sunlight hits it at just
the right angle, on the solstice.

Monkey feathers! The solstice again?
We can't wait here that long.

No we can't.

But we might be able to speed time up.
Let's see if we can outsmart the Sun Stone.

Nothing's happening.

Come on...

You know, Zuko, I don't care what everyone
else says about you, you're pretty smart.

Relax. They're just statues.

It says this is something
called The Dancing Dragon.

Zuko, get over here.
I want you to dance with me.

- What?
- Just do it.

Let's follow the steps of the statues.

Aang: Don't you see?
These aren't dance moves.

These statues are giving us a lesson.

I think this is some kind
of Sun Warrior firebending form.

This better teach us
some really good firebending.

Hurray! Wait.
What exactly is that?

It's some kind of mystical gem stone.

- Well, don't touch it!
- Why not?

Remember what happened
out there with those spikes?

I'm just very suspicious of giant,
glowing gems sitting on pedestals.

It feels almost alive.

Oh, no, it's another trap!

Ugh, I can't pull free.
It's like some kind of glue.

I can't move. Zuko, do something!

Me? I can't move either.

It stopped.

At least we have air. Maybe if we
stay calm we can figure a way out of this.

You had to pick up the glowing egg,
didn't you?

At least I made something happen.

If it were up to you, we'd never
have made it past the courtyard.

Help!

Who are you yelling to?
Nobody's lived here for centuries.

Well, what do you think we should do?

Think about our place in the Universe?

Sun Warrior Chief:
Who is down there?

For trying to take our Sun Stone,
you must be severely punished!

We didn't come here to
take your Sun Stone.

We came here to find the
ancient origin of all firebending.

Ham Gao: Yeah, right.
They are obviously thieves,

here to steal Sun warrior treasures.

Aang: Please, I don't normally
play this card, but... I'm the Avatar.

Just hear us out.

My name is Zuko,
Crown Prince of the Fire Nation.

Or, at least, I used to be.

I know my people have distorted
the ways of firebending...

to be fueled by anger and rage.
But now I want to learn the true way...

the original way.
When we came here, I never imagined

the Sun Warrior civilization
was secretly alive.

I am truly humbled to
be in your presence.

Please, teach us.

If you wish to learn
the ways of the Sun,

you must learn them from
the masters Ran and Shaw.

Ran and Shaw? There are two of them?

When you present yourselves to
them, they will examine you.

They'll read your hearts,
your souls, and your ancestry.

If they deem you worthy,
they'll teach you. If they don't,

you will be destroyed on the spot.

Sun Warrior Chief:
If you're going to see the masters,

you must bring them a piece
of the eternal flame.

This fire is the very first one.

It was given to Man
by the dragons.

We have kept it going
for thousands of years.

I don't believe it.

Sun Warrior Chief: You will each
take a piece of it to the masters...

to show your commitment to
the sacred art of firebending.

Um, Mister Sun Chief, sir?
Yeah... I'm not a firebender yet.

Couldn't my friend here
carry my fire for me?

No.

This ritual illustrates the essence
of Sun Warrior philosophy.

You must maintain
a constant heat.

The flame will go out if
you make it too small.

Make it too big, and
you might lose control.

I'm sorry. I'm just a little nervous.

It's like a little heartbeat.

Fire is life, not just destruction.

You will take your flames up there.

The cave of the masters
is beneath that rock.

- Hurry up.
- I can't.

If I walk too fast, my flame will go out.

Your flame's gonna go out
because it's too small.

You're too timid.
Give it up more juice.

But what if I can't control it?

You can do it.
I know you can. You're a talented kid.

Facing the judgment of the firebending
masters will be very dangerous for you.

Your ancestors are directly responsible
for the dragon's disappearance.

The masters might not be
so happy to see you.

Ham Gao: I know I wouldn't be.

But once they find out I'm the Avatar...

Have you forgotten that you vanished, allowing
the Fire Nation to wreak havoc on the world?

The decline of the dragons
is your burden too.

We could turn back now. We've already
learned more about fire than we hoped.

No, we're seeing this through to the end.

We're gonna meet these masters and
find out what's so great about them.

What if they judge us and attack us?

Well, we're the Fire Prince and the Avatar.

I think we can take these guys
in a fight, whoever they are.

- Bring 'em out.
- Chanters!

Those who wish to meet the masters
Ran and Shaw will now present their fire.

Sun Warrior Chief: Sound the call.

What's happening?

- Zuko, my fire went out.
- What do you want me to do?

Give me some of yours.

- No, just make your own.
- I can't.

Get some from one of those warriors.
Hurry. Stop cheating off me!

Quit being stingy!

- These are the masters.
- You still think we can take 'em?

Shh. I never said that.

Oh, here it comes.
Any moment now� dinner for the masters.

- Quiet, Ham Gao.
- What? Everyone's thinking it.

Zuko, I think we're supposed
to do The Dragon Dance with them.

What? What about this situation
that you think they want us to dance?

Well, I think they want us
to do something. Let's just try it.

Fine.

Judgment time.

I understand.

Their fire was beautiful.

I saw so many colors,
colors I've never imagined.

Aang: Like firebending harmony.

Sun Warrior Chief: Yes.
They judged you,

and gave you visions of
the meaning of firebending.

I can't believe there
are still living dragons.

My Uncle Iroh said he faced
the last dragon and killed it.

So, your Uncle lied.

Actually, it wasn't a total lie.

Iroh was the last outsider
to face the masters.

They deemed him worthy and passed
the secret onto him as well.

He must have lied to protect them,
so no one else would hunt them.

All this time,
I thought firebending was destruction.

Since I hurt Katara,
I've been too afraid and hesitant.

But now I know what it really is...
it's energy, and life.

Zuko: Yeah. It's like the Sun,
but inside of you.

Do you guys realize this?

Well, our civilization is called
the Sun Warriors� so yeah.

That's why my firebending
was so weak before.

Because for so many years,
hunting you was my drive...

It was my purpose. So when I joined
you, I lost sight of my inner fire.

But now, I have a new drive.

I have to help you defeat my father
and restore balance to the world.

Now that you have learned the secrets,
and you know about our tribe's existence,

we have no choice but to
imprison you here forever.

Just kidding.

But seriously, don't tell anyone!

Aang: With this technique
the dragons showed us,

Zuko and I would be unstoppable.

Sokka: Yeah, that's a great
dance you two learned there.

It's not a dance. It's a firebending form.

We'll just tap-dance our
way to victory over the Fire Lord.

It's a sacred form that happens
to be thousands of years old!

Oh yeah? What's your little form called?

The Dancing Dragon.
