[Katara and Yue observe the Fire Navy ships on the horizon]
Yue
They've stopped firing.
[upon seeing Aang flying towards them] Aang!
[Yue and Katara run over to where Aang has landed Appa. He slides off and sits on the ground, looking scared and exhausted]
I can't do it... [to himself] I can't do it.
I must have taken out a dozen Fire Navy ships, but there's just too many of them. I can't fight them all!
Yue
But... you have to! You're the Avatar.
[Katara, Aang and Yue gaze upon the full moon at night]
Yue
The legends say the moon was the first waterbender. Our ancestors saw how it pushed and pulled the tides, and learned how to do it themselves.
I've always noticed my waterbending is stronger at night.
Yue
Our strength comes from the spirit of the moon, our life comes from the spirit of the ocean. They work together to keep balance. [Aang begins to brighten up]
The spirits... Maybe I can find them and get their help!
Yue
How can you do that?
The Avatar is the bridge between our world and the spirit world. Aang can talk to them!
Yue
Maybe they'll give you the wisdom to win this battle.
Or maybe they'll unleash a crazy amazing spirit attack on the Fire Nation! [he looks at both Yue and Katara] Or wisdom. That's good, too.
[Zhao has captured Tui the Moon Spirit in a bag, causing the Moon to turn red and the Waterbenders to lose their power.]
[to his guards] I am a legend, now! The Fire Nation will, for generations, tell stories about the great Zhao, who darkened the moon. They will call me Zhao the Conqueror, Zhao the Moon Slayer, Zhao the Invincible! [Momo suddenly lands on Zhao's face and starts pulling on his sideburns] Ugh! Get it off, get it off!
Don't bother. [he raises his fist, aiming at Tui]
[drops his staff] Zhao! Don't.
It's my destiny: to destroy the Moon, and the Water Tribe.
Destroying the Moon won't hurt just the Water Tribe. It will hurt everyone... including you. Without the Moon, everything will fall out of balance! You have no idea what kind of chaos that would unleash on the world!
General Iroh. Why am I not surprised to discover your treachery?
[sharply] I'm no traitor, Zhao. The Fire Nation needs the Moon, too! We all depend on the balance. [takes up a fighting stance] Whatever you do to that Spirit, I'll unleash on you tenfold! Let it go, NOW!
[Zhao reluctantly returns Tui to its pool, then yells in fury and Firebends, killing Tui and causing the Moon to vanish. Iroh yells in rage and attacks Zhao and his guards with Firebending; he easily defeats all four of the guards, while Zhao runs away. Aang and his friends watch, stunned, as Iroh picks up Tui's body.]
Princess Yue
...There's no hope now. It's over.
[Aang enters the Avatar State]
[speaking with the voices of all past Avatars]... No. It's not over.
[Aang steps into the Spirit Oasis, fusing with La, the spirit of the Ocean.]
[Aang clutches to a piece of driftwood after losing his glider and being stuck in the ocean]
I'm not gonna make it... I failed.
[Roku appears in a flash of lightning]
You haven't failed, Aang.
But everyone thinks I'm dead again... they think I've abandoned them. And I'm losing this war...I'm letting the whole world down.
If anyone is to blame for the state of the world, it is me. I should have seen this war coming, and prevented it. You inherited my problems...and my mistakes. But I believe you are destined to redeem me, and save the world.
[A beam of light shines over Aang and Yue appears in front of the moon]
Yue
You already saved the world. And you'll save the world again. But you can't give up.
You're right, I won't give up.
[Aang creates a giant wave and uses the driftwood to begin surfing towards the Fire Nation, Yue increases the size of the wave and then recedes back into the moon]
[In the next scene, Aang wakes up on a volcanic island with Momo on his chest. The rest of Team Avatar are running towards him with Katara in front]
[Katara runs up and hugs Aang first, and is then followed by the rest of the group)
I know, but you'll have our help.
[jokingly] You didn't think you could get out of training just by coming to the Fire Nation did you?
We'll join up with my dad and the invasion force on the day of the eclipse.
Hey! What's... [Toph grabs the broken shard of Aang's glider that washed up on shore] Oh, it's your glider.
That's okay. If someone saw it, it would give away my identity. It's better for now that no one knows I'm alive.
[Aang uses his airbending to leap up to a higher ledge on the island. He holds his glider and looks down at the lava covered rock, and then plunges his glider into the ground, where it begins to burn as he jumps away.]
