More ferocious!
Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!
Uh! I'm trying.
Now let me hear you roar like a tigerdillo!
[roaring]
That sounded pathetic. I said roar!
[roaring]
Who wants a nice, cool glass of watermelon juice?
Ooh! Ooh! Me, me, me!
Hey, your lesson's not over yet! Get back here!
Come on, Zuko. Just take a break.
What's the big deal?
Fine. If you want to lounge around
like a bunch of snail sloths all day,
then go ahead!
Maybe Zuko's right.
Sitting around the house has made us pretty lazy,
but I know just the thing to change that.
Beach party!
Check out my Appa sand sculpture.
[grunting]
Not bad, baldy,
but I've been working on my sandbending.
You're gonna love this.
Whoa! Wow, you've even made a little Earth King and Bosco.
Try and top that, Sokka.
Tada!
Is that a blubbering blob monster?
No, it's Suki!
[laughing]
Suki, we'll all understand
if you break up with him over this.
I think it's sweet.
But it doesn't even look like-- [screaming]
What are you doing?
Teaching you a lesson!
What happened?
Zuko's gone crazy!
I made a sand sculpture of Suki and he destroyed it!
Oh, and he's attacking Aang.
Get a grip before I blast you off this roof!
Go ahead and do it!
Enough!
[screaming]
[groaning]
What's wrong with you? You could have hurt Aang!
What's wrong with me? What's wrong with all of you?
How can you sit around having beach parties
when Sozin's Comet is only three days away?
Why are you all looking at me like I'm crazy?
About Sozin's Comet...
I was actually gonna wait to fight the Fire Lord
until after it came.
After?
I'm not ready. I need more time to master firebending.
And frankly, your earthbending could still use some work too.
So, you all knew Aang was going to wait?
Honestly, if Aang tries to fight the Fire Lord right now,
he's going to lose. No offense.
The whole point of fighting the Fire Lord before the Comet
was to stop the Fire Nation from winning the War,
but they pretty much won the War when they took Ba Sing Se.
Things can't get any worse.
You're wrong.
It's about to get worse than you can even imagine.
The day before the eclipse,
my father asked me to attend an important war meeting.
It was what I dreamed about and wanted for so many years.
My father had finally accepted me back.
Welcome, Prince Zuko. We waited for you.
General Shinu, your report.
Thank you, sir.
Ba Sing Se is still under our control.
However, earthbender rebellions have prevented us
from achieving total victory in the Earth Kingdom.
What is your recommendation?
Our army is spread too thin,
but once the eclipse is over and the invasion defeated,
we should transfer more domestic forces
into the Earth Kingdom.
Hmm. Prince Zuko,
you've been among the Earth Kingdom commoners.
Do you think that adding more troops
will stop these rebellions?
The people of the Earth Kingdom are proud and strong.
They can endure anything as long as they have hope.
Yes, you're right.
We need to destroy their hope.
Well, that's not exactly what I--
I think you should take their precious hope
and the rest of their land and burn it all to the ground.
Yes. Yes, you're right, Azula.
Sozin's Comet is almost upon us,
and on that day, it will endow us
with the strength and power of a hundred suns.
No bender will stand a chance against us.
What are you suggesting, sir?
When the comet last came, my grandfather, Fire Lord Sozin,
used it to wipe out the Air Nomads.
Now, I will use its power to end the Earth Kingdom ...
permanently.
From our airships,
we will rain fire over their lands,
a fire that will destroy everything;
and out of the ashes, a new world will be born,
a world in which all the lands are Fire Nation
and I am the supreme ruler of everything!
I wanted to speak out against this horrifying plan,
but I'm ashamed to say I didn't.
My whole life, I struggled to gain my father's love
and acceptance, but once I had it,
I realized I'd lost myself getting there.
I've forgotten who I was.
I can't believe this.
I always knew the Fire Lord was a bad guy,
but his plan is just pure evil.
What am I gonna do?
I know you're scared,
and I know you're not ready to save the world,
but if you don't defeat the Fire Lord
before the comet comes,
there won't be a world to save anymore.
