Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender

Whoever gets to the temple first wins! Why'd you hang? No fair!

Oh, perfect timing! I don't mind giving me a lift.

Yasuo! This isn't the best time.

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 gonna lose the race!

Race? What race?

We won! We won! We won! We won! We won!

Aang, 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.

The Avatar!

He's gone! He ran away!

What? I'm here!

Where's the Avatar?

Where's the Avatar?

I'm here!

I'm here!

I'm here.

Hey, Momo. Hi, Appa. 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.

Sonam. I miss you.

Momo, go outside with Appa.

Now!

Why are you doing this?

Please, stop! I don't want to hurt you.

Where is it? Where is it?

Nope, that's not it!

Hey! Those are antiques!

Found it!

Sonam, why are they after you?

That's a thousand years old!

Yes!

Give it to me!

Why don't we just talk? Maybe I can help.

We don't need your help, Avatar!

We're done living in a world where Benders have all the power and we have none!

Who are you?

We're the Denied!

The Denied?

Just kill him already!

No!

He'll bring the whole place down!

You... saved me.

Kalik! Wrap him up! Let's go!

We've got to get to Republic City.

Appa!

Yip-yip!

Water.

Her tribes gather strength from the moon.

And flow with the tides.

Earth.

A kingdom of unshakable will.

Reliable and strong.

Fire.

A nation capable 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 the nations in 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 of energy

where I stayed for a hundred years.

I woke to discover that the balance preserved by the Avatar

had been destroyed by war.

The air nomads were gone.

All but one.

Me.

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

I found allies from every nation.

Benders.

And non-benders.

Katara taught me how to water bend.

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 welcome.

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.

I missed you too, old friend.

Katara!

You're hurt.

Take a deep breath.

And...

Exhale.

I've heard that Denied are growing in numbers,

but they've never done anything like this.

Attacking the Avatar?

Yeah.

They were incredible fighters.

Even without bending.

Oops.

Ow!

Be honest.

You're enjoying this.

Aang, 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.

Avatar.

You're right.

Whoever this Sonam person is,

I need to find out more.

Aang.

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 Sonam?

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 Sonam.

Perhaps earlier.

You're not here.

Not here.

Back.

Avatar.

I'm sorry.

Um...

Hello?

Is there anyone here?

Hello?

Who calls upon Avatar Szeto's vast wealth of knowledge?

Oh, hello.

You look like an Avatar from a time quite distant from mine.

Please, please, tell me about your era.

What are people wearing?

Are sandals still a thing?

Uh, yes.

Oh, why?

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

Disgusting!

Right.

Anyway, I have come for your guidance.

You see, I was attacked.

It was not me.

Okay?

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, Sonam.

If only she didn't have those humongous toenails.

Disgusting.

This is going nowhere.

Sonam?
