Complete story — includes the ending
After bringing Fire Nation attention to the village, Aang is banished despite Katara's objections. Zuko soon descends on the village and demands the Avatar be handed over to him. Aang returns to the village to defend it, where Zuko identifies him as the Avatar. He surrenders himself to Zuko, causing Katara and Sokka to pursue them on Appa. Aboard Zuko's ship, Aang manages to break free from the guards and battles with Zuko in the process. Aang is knocked into the water and almost drowns, but saves himself with the " Avatar State ", in which he uses incredibly potent waterbending to overpower Zuko and his crew. As the three fly away on Appa, Aang explains his reluctance towards being the Avatar, and they set a course for the North Pole so that he and Katara can learn waterbending.
