[sips tea, exhales] What’s that mean? [coughs]
S2 E18The Earth King
You are going through a metamorphosis, my nephew. It will not be a pleasant experience. But when you come out of it, you will be the beautiful prince you were always meant to be.
S2 E19The Guru
The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.
Like the four nations.
Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided.
We're all connected. Everything is connected.
This is the last chakra, isn't it?
Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions.
Let's do this!
The Thought Chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world.
[Aang imagines various images and memories of Katara]
Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river... forgotten.
[snaps out of his meditation] What? Why would I let go of Katara? I... I love her!
Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe.
[outraged] Why would I choose cosmic energy over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her?! Three chakras ago, that was a good thing!
You must learn to let go.
I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara.
Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must opens all the chakras. Surrender yourself.
Okay, I'll try.
Now think of your attachments, and let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. (He meditates again, beginning to lets Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glows version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains by Dai Li Agents and begins to run towards her.)
What the- Katara is an trouble.
KKarata
LET ME GO! [His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth]
AAAAAAGGGHHH!!! [shocked] Katara's in danger! I have to go! [Aang gets up and begins to runs off]
No, Aang! Wait! Come back! [Aang slides down the roof before he stops at the edge] By choosin' attachment, you have no match to this locked the all chakras. If you leave now, you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all! [After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off]
[Xin Fu and Yi investigate Toph's metal cage. They notice a large hole in the cage and Toph is nowhere to be found]
YYi
It's another 1 of her tricks!
XFXin Fu
(All I need is 1 thing; myself!) There's a giant hole in a box! How is that a trick?!
TToph
[from behind them] It's not! It's the real deal! [She earthbends the two men together, throws them in the cage, and metalbends the cage shut with her hands. She climbs on top of the box] I am the greatest earthbender in the world! Don't you two dunderheads ever forget it! [She leaps off the box and onto the path to Ba Sing Se. She uses earth surfing to traverse faster]
XFXin Fu
[inside the box] I'm going to be stuck in here forever with you, aren't I?
YYi
...I have to go the bathroom. [Xin Fu slams his head against the box]
S2 E20The Crossroads of Destiny
Now comes the part where I double cross you. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation princess. [pauses out as The Dai Li don't move] I said arrest her! [short pause as The Dai Li Agents don't move again; failed] What is wrong with you?!
It's because they haven't made up their minds. They're waiting to see how this is going to end.
What are you talking about?!
I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing, so you've had to struggle, and connive, and claw your way to power. But true power, the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne, and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know. [She sits on the Earth King's throne] Well? [She and Long Feng lock eyes; after a long moment, Long Feng kneels before her]
... You've beaten me at my own game.
Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player.
Uncle, I don't understand. What are you doing with the Avatar?
[glares at him] Saving you, that's what.
[Zuko starts to advance on him, but Iroh holds him back]
It's time we talked. [to Aang] Go help your other friends. We'll catch up with you. [Aang and Katara leaves]
[not looking Iroh directly in the eye] Why, Uncle?
[seriously] You're not the man you used to be, Zuko. You are stronger, and wiser, and freer than you have ever been. And now you've come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose good.
[Iroh is suddenly immobilized by crystals, startling Zuko]
[enters followed by two Dai Li Agents] I expected this kind of treachery from Uncle. But Zuko, Prince Zuko. You're a lot of things, but you aren't a traitor, are you?
Release him immediately!
[slyly] It's not too late for you, Zuko. You could still redeem yourself.
The kind of "redemption" she offers is not for you!
[glares at him] Why don't you let him decide, Uncle? I need you, Zuko. I've plotted every move of this day, this glorious day in Fire Nation history, and the only way we win is together. At the end of this day, you will have your honor back. You will have Father's love. You will have everything you want.
Zuko, I am begging you. Look into your heart and see what it is you truly want.
You are free to choose.
[she gestures for the Dai Li to leave, then pursues Aang and Katara, as Zuko considers his choice.]
The Earth Kingdom...has fallen.
