"Yeah, then you can show him his baby pictures, and all those happy memories will make him good again." Zuko said sarcastically as Suki, Sokka and Cordelia laughed "Do you really think that would work?" Aang asked excitedly "no" he replied bluntly "This goes against everything I learned from the monks. I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like." Aang said sighing while pacing around "what if I tell you there might be a I u ua umjnhway to defeat Ozai without killing him" Cordelia said dragging all their attention.
"What is it, tell us!" Aang said running towards her "okay, did you know Lion turtles were the first benders of the four main elements?" Cordelia asked "I heard something similar once" Aang said "yup, it also has something to do with the first avatar but I don't know anything about that" she said "where is this leading to?" Sokka asked "I thought you were the smarter one? Those lion turtles could give a person their bending, don't you think they can take it?" She said "If Aang can find at least one of those lion turtle he can asked them to help us fight the war!" Sokka concluded.
"That wasn't where I was going, if Aang can find one lion turtle it could teach Aang a way to take out Ozai bending" she said "that a great idea, thanks!" Aang said kissing her cheek "aww, there's just one problem Aang, those lion turtles are extinct or in the spirit world one of the two" Cordelia said "well that leave us with killing the fire lord" Sokka said "I can't kill him" Aang said stressed.
"Sure you can. You're the Avatar. If it's in the name of keeping balance, I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you." Sokka said "This isn't a joke, Sokka! None of you understand the position I'm in." Aang yelled "I'm going to bed" Cordelia said walking off "maybe I sho-" Sota said before getting stopped by Zuko "your staying here" he said.
Next day
"Okay, that's everything." Sokka said after loading their equipment on appa "No, it's not. Where's Aang?" Toph asked "that is something we definitely have to look at" Cordelia said as they ran to the beach house "He left his staff. That's so strange." Sokka said picking up the staff "maybe the lion turtle took him" Cordelia suggested as they all stared at her "you sound crazy, and that isn't normal" Sokka said.
"Anything?" Cordelia asked running back to the house "No. It's like he just ... disappeared." Zuko said "Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone noticed that Momo is missing, too?" Toph asked "Oh no! I knew it was only a matter of time! Appa ate Momo! Momo, I'm coming for you, buddy." Sokka said opening Appa mouth.
"Sokka, why would appa eat Momo now when there were plenty of times when they were alone?" Cordelia asked "He's probably with Aang." Katara said "That's just what Appa wants you to think" Sokka said entering the Bison's mouth "appa feel free to eat him now" Cordelia said sitting on the stairs "Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka. We have a real problem here. Aang is nowhere to be found and the comet is only two days away." Zuko said.
"What should we do Zuko?" Katara asked as they all stared at Zuko "I don't know. Why are you all looking at me?" He asked as Sokka slid out Appa mouth covered in spit "Well, you are kind of the expert on tracking Aang." Katara said "true, even if it's by accident we always see each other in the same place" Cordelia added "Yeah, if anyone's got experience hunting the Avatar ... it's you." Toph said.
"And the reason you've brought us to a seedy Earth Kingdom tavern is what now?" Katara asked "June" Zuko said pointing "Oh yeah, that weird bounty hunter with the giant mole." Sokka said "who?" Cordelia asked "Mole? Her skin is flawless." Suki said "No, she has this giant mole creature she rides around on" Sokka said "The shirshu. It's the only animal that can track Aang's scent anywhere in the world. It's the one shot we have of finding him." Zuko said watching the fight "I don't know who this June lady is, but I like her." Toph said with Cordelia giggling.
"Oh great. It's Prince Pouty. Where's your creepy grandpa?" June said as they walked towards him "He's my uncle. And he's not here." Zuko corrected "I see you worked things out with your girlfriend." She said staring at katara before drinking her tea as they both said in unison how they were not in a relationship "good, cause she's prettier" June said pointing at Cordelia "aw, thank you" Cordelia said placing her palm on her cheek.
"I need your help finding the Avatar." Zuko said "Hm. Doesn't sound too fun" June said "Does the end of the world sound like more fun?" Zuko asked angrily before they soon walked outside.
"What do you mean Aang doesn't exist? Do you mean he's ... you know, dead?" Sokka asked "Nope. We could find him if he were dead. Wow, it's a real head-scratcher. See ya." June said getting on her pet "helpful real helpful" toph said sarcastically "does my idea that he might be on a lion turtle seem believable now?" Cordelia asked proudly "no" Sokka said shutting her down.
"Wait. I have another idea. There's only one other person in this world who can help us face the Fire Lord. I'll be right back with a smell sample" Zuko said getting on appa and bringing back a shoe "You saved your uncle's sweaty sandal? Ugh!" Sokka asked pinking his nose "I think it's kind of sweet." Toph said "more like cute" Cordelia added with her nose pinched "let's do this" June said as Nyla sniffed the shoe.
"We're going to Ba Sing Se?" Zuko asked after reaching the Great Wall "Your uncle's somewhere beyond the wall. Nyla's getting twitchy so he can't be too far. Good luck." June said before heading out "It's been a long day. Let's camp and start our search again at dawn." Zuko said letting out a sigh.
"What's going on? We're surrounded by old people." Toph asked "Not just any old people. These are great masters and friends of ours. Pakku." Katara said bowing "Pakku!" Cordelia said hugging the man "good to see that your alright princess, and good to see that my grandson is doing fine" Pakku said holding his hand out for Sota "grandson?" Katara and Sokka said confused "yea, it may be unimaginable now but when Sota is old and wrinkly the resemblance will be uncanny" Cordelia said.
"How about a hug for your new grandfather?" Pakku said "That's so exciting! You and Gran-Gran must be so happy to have found each other again!" Katara said hugging the man "I guess you guys are related to Sota" Cordelia said laughing.
