It wasn't long, before I saw the war ships approaching. I was standing on one of the tall rocks in this field waiting on Ozai.

As soon as he began to hit the ground with massive waves of fire, a dread hit my stomach. "It's time for you to go Momo." I looked up at my friend with his green eyes, he flew away leaving it to me against Ozai.

My heart was beating hard out of nerves, I didn't know if I could pull this off.

Before on earth I would get nervous at finals or if I made it in the team but if I lost I would die maybe for real. And if I went back to earth it would be just as bad.

Ozai got closer and closer with fire I could feel from were I stood. I took a deep breath before throwing rocks at his war ship's engine.

It went down and Ozai flew up using fire bending. He landed on a rock not to far from me, burning his shirt off.

"After generations of Fire Lords failed to find you, now the universe delivers you to me as an act of providence." His crazed voice was loud enough for me to hear him clearly, as he grinned at me like he had already won.

"You can't see what side of the page you're on, Ozai, this is not the providence you want." I gritted through my teeth, with my whole body ready to attack.

"No, it is you who are on the wrong side of the page! You believe in goodness, I believe in power!" Ozai snarled, before throwing a huge massive fire blast at me.

I used fire to fly up, since it was the strongest at the moment that was what I was going to use. I sent a whole rock slide after him, he flew up and kicked more flames.

I blocked it like a reflex, he blocked my fire like a habit.

Even if the Fire he shot at me was as hot as a furnace I felt chills rise up my spin, truth was I was afraid of him. I kicked a fire ball before jumping to a rock and punched air at him.

Meanwhile the fleet was continuing with the plan, however I had to focus. He jumped in the air and shot out a huge blast, I slide down the rock before turning to see he was following.

He blasted at me as I formed earth all around myself to block. I then sent it straight at him. He jumped up and kicked more fire.

As he continued I used air to brake it but he kept at it and I was sent to the wall. I growled in pain before looking up to see Ozai grinning away.

I sent boulders at him, although he blasted through all of them, this guy's form was literally perfect.

I kicked a spinning fire blast, he jumped up and completely dodged it. Before I could act again he formed kicking and I had to run for dear life.

I jumped through rock after rock as he followed throwing lighting at me. I stopped to face him turning and ready to redirect it.

Groaning from the constant pain, I felt overwhelming like I couldn't hold it. Then I was ready to shoot it back at Ozai, he had a stunned face knowing what I could do, but I couldn't.

I slightly moved my arms and letting it go it flew in the empty sky. I immediately regretted it as he shot a huge fire blast at me. Still recovering from the lightning I wasn't fast enough to properly block it and found myself falling.

I used fire bending to fly myself back up, ready to strike at Ozai who had a fire ball in hand.

Only when I blocked the fire ball it still hit me and I had to form a wall around myself. I found myself in an earth ball hiding from Ozai.

"You're weak!! Just like the rest of your people. They did not deserve to exist in this world. In my world! Prepare to join them, prepare to die!" He yelled as he shot massive powerful fire at the earth, I closed my eyes, sitting in a hot furnace, this was a bad idea.

I was basically trapped, every shot he took make it harder to stay in there.

"Come out, Avatar, you can't hide in there forever!"

The fire stopped but it only made me reinforce the earth around me even tighter as I kept my eyes shut.

Just as I thought a powerful compacted fire blast blew it away. I managed to put air around myself but I was shot to the rock behind me.

I yelled from a sharp pain hitting my back as I slammed against it.

There it happened, I felt like I had just been connected after so long. I finally felt my avatar self again. I knew I had the power now. The Avatar State finally decided to join me.

"C'mon out little girl, you're about to be-" I stopped Ozai mid sentence, I was then in the Avatar State.

I came out from the rubble and grabbed his goatee, pulling myself up.

He tried to hit a fire ball at me but I easily punched his arm back and kicked his gut with earth bending. He was sent flying as I rose up forming all the elements around myself.

He was horrified as I was then fully protected. He tried to hit fire but I absorbed it and shot water with earth in it after him.

Ozai began to fly away, now he was the one on the run. As I flew I grabbed all the earth around me and shot it at him.

He barley dodged it and this continued for sometime. I was flying like a superhero! I shot flames with water swirling around it, it was too wide spread for him to dodge it and he fell to the nearest rock.

The Fire Lord got back up and kicked a massive wave of fire, I would have been afraid of it before but at the moment I shot through it like nothing.

I then sent a massive air wave at him, he blocked fire at it but nothing happened, it shot him down.

He tried to blast at me but as I landed were he was I kicked away at his hand and blocked it. I then used earth to lock him down where he couldn't bend at all.

"Fire Lord Ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world and now you will pay the ultimate price!!" Voices but my own threatened as I began to send a blast with all elements wrapped around each other at his chest.

But as I began to do it, I couldn't. I couldn't kill someone, not like that. Not to mention it would change things, and I wasn't sure if that would be a good thing.

Right before it hit him, right as he was about to except the painful blow the water hit him like a splash and the rocks like pebbles as I landed next to him.

"Even with all the power in the world you are still weak!" Ozai snarled, before he was about to shoot fire from his mouth.

I formed a wall in front of me and pulled him up with earth ending to where I could easily reach his forehead.

I closed my eyes and meditated best I could. Searching for his energy and began to take it, but as I did, I found I was being corrupted with Ozai's will.

However, I wasn't about to let that happen, and as soon as I began, I finished.

I let go of him and let him collapse as he tried to bend.

I finally did it, I finally beat Ozai. "What-what did you do to me??" He asked, as he laid in defeat.

"I took away your bending, you'll never hurt anyone with it again." I replied, turning to see the beach in flames.

I took a deep breath, using the water from the sea to put the flames out, even if I was as far away as I was.

I felt like a heavy weight was finally lifted, like the clearing after a foggy morning. If I know what content feels like, that's what I felt at that moment.

I ended the war without dying, and that had to count for something. Even if I could still go back to earth at any minute, I was glad to be there.

Not to long later, Sokka dropped down in a war ship with Toph, Aang and Suki. Helping poor little Sokka to walk.

"You did it! You should have seen yourself it was amazing! You were all like; pow boom and the Fire Lord was all like arigh uh uh arugh!" Sokka exclaimed, with a huge happiness in his voice hopping on one leg. 

"So did you...you know finish the job?" Suki asked, pointing at Ozai who was leaning against a rock.

"I'm still alive." Ozai growled weakly getting up, making Suki back up in fear. Even if he was completely unable to fight.

"I learned how to take his bending without blood bending." I stated with a slight smile, it felt good to finally win.

"I'm proud of you! You found a way to do it without doing something evil. But who taught it to you?" Aang smiled, as he hugged me.

"A giant lion turtle." I plainly stated, with a smile folding my arms.

"You have the craziest adventures when you disappear." Toph smirked as she shook her head.

"Will look at you buster, now that your fire bending gone I guess we should call you the loser Lord." Sokka punned like it was a punch line.

"I am the Phoenix King!" Ozai tried to demand before collapsing to the ground.

"Ha ha ha, keep calling yourself that and just maybe it might stick in person." I mocked with my head high and arms crossed.

"Oh sorry didn't mean to offend you, Phoenix King of getting his butt whooped." Toph added, putting her fists together.

"Yeah... or how about king of the guys... who don't win." Suki also tried to add which didn't work.

"Leave the nick names to us honey."

After our victory we went to the fire nation Capital to attend Zuko's coronation. I had already said sorry to the Gaang, who immediately said it was crazy I was asking. I just had to set things right with Zuko, even if it didn't work out the way I wanted, I need to respect him.

As I sat meditating next to the door of the coronation, I heard a beautiful voice that rang in my ears ask; "Gyawa?" I looked up to see Zuko lightly smiling at me.

"Hey, Zuko." I smiled back.

"I can't believe my purpose in life was hunting you down and now..." The Fire Lord shyly smiled, looking for the right word, but I was fine with it.

"And now we're friends." I finished his sentence.

"Yeah..." Zuko sighed with a dying smirk, however it wasn't a sad look, but content maybe?

"It's okay, Zuko, I have to except the fact I can't have all I want." I said, standing up, even if I ate my own words now I wouldn't regret it later.

"Would you let me finish?" He lightly chuckled making my heart stop.

"We are friends, but I like you more than that. I should have told you sooner, but I talked myself out of it. I'm sorry." Zuko let me see that smile of white beauty, it's almost unbelievable I couldn't believe he was saying this. It was literally a dream come true.

"You shouldn't be apologizing, I suppose I should. I was a jerk the other day. I'm sorry." I said not knowing what else to.

"Don't apologize." He shook his head with that beautiful smile.

I wanted to reach over and kiss him but the last time I did that it didn't go so well.

"The world's so different, I don't know what's ahead." I though out loud fixing my shirt, trying find something for my hand to do beside shake.

LAnd it's going to be even more different. We'll rebuild it together." Zuko replied before reaching over and hugging me, I held him tight before we walked out to the crowd outside.

As we did, I couldn't help but of feeling a tear fall, it was finally over, I had the guy, I didn't die, and it was happy ending, I couldn't ask for more.

The crowd cheered as Zuko walked up. "Please the hero is the Avatar." The Fire Lord stated, giving me the signal to walk up.

He gave me a smile I hadn't really seen before, but it was content.

"Today, this war is finally over. I promised my uncle that I would restore the honor of the Fire Nation and I will. The road ahead of us is challenging, a hundred years of fighting has left the world scared and divided. But with the Avatar's help we can get in back on the right path. And begin a new area of love and peace." Zuko spoke to the crowd before kneeling to be crowned.

"All hail Fire Lord Zuko." A fire sage declared as he placed it on his head.

The once Prince, turned Fire Lord before my eyes looked up at me with contentment in his eyes to see I was smiling, I finally got that beautiful fire bender on the throne.

                                   ~*~

Later when we were all back at Iroh's tea shop I couldn't help but feel content. "Well I think you all look perfect." Toph said, making everyone laugh, as I walked out.

The sun was setting, giving off its typical ray of color, however this day was far from normal. Leaning on rails I was glad to leaning on, seeing a sun I was grateful to see again, being in this world at least one more day.

Soon faint footsteps approached, I turned to see it was a boy with chocolate hair and a strong heart, Zuko.

It was nice to see those beautiful golden eyes looking in mine. After months of chasing and confusion he finally found out who he was and what he meant to me.

I could see it in his eyes, moving closer to him felt like the best thing in anything. Soon enough we were within arms reach.

He held tight on my waist, blinking a few times I stared in his galaxy of gold.

I felt our lips finally touch. After all of it, after all the conflict it was finally over.

I had it all, I had what I wanted. I got Zuko, and that was the punch line.

I had no idea what could come next, but I knew I would be ready for it with Zuko at my side. I knew if we won once, we could win again.
