The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse
Dad! Youre on your feet again.
Thanks to your sister.
Im in no shape to fight but maybe there is someway I could help.
Everythings going smoothly and the eclipse hasnt even kicked in yet.
Lets hope our luck holds out.
Katara, you seem distracted.
Is something wrong? Yeah .
Is that is that Aang? What? Please tell youre here because the Fire Lord turned out to be a big wimp and you didnt even need the eclipse to take him down He wasnt home.
No one was.
The entire palace city is abandoned.
They knew.
Aang: Its over.
The Fire Lord is probably long gone.
Far away on some remote island where hell be safe during the eclipse.
No.
My instincts tell me he wouldnt go too far.
He would have a secret bunker.
Somewhere he could go so itll be safe during a siege but still be close enough to lead his nation.
If its an underground secret bunker were looking for, Im just the girl to find it.
The Mechanist gave me this timing device.
It looks like weve got about 10 minutes until the full eclipse.
We can still do this.
We can still win the day.
Wait.
If they knew we were coming, it could all be a trap.
Maybe we should use the time we have left to make sure all of us get out of here safely.
Everyone whos here today came prepared to risk everything for this mission.
They know whats at stake.
If theres still a chance and theres still hope, I think they would want Aang to go for it.
What do you think? Youre the one who has to face the Fire Lord.
Whatever you decide, Im with you.
Ive got to try.
Do you feel anything down there Yep.
There are natural tunnels criss-crossing through the inside of the volcano.
Anything else? Is there a structure somewhere? Theres something big, dense, and made of metal deep in the heart of the volcano.
Sokka: Sounds like a secret bunker to me.
Aang: Stay safe.
Well be back soon.
Toph: This way! That ones a dead end.
Sokka: What would we do without you? Toph: Perish and burn in hot magma.
Yeah, pretty much.
Toph: The tunnel continues on the other side and it leads right to the bunker.
Sokka: Well have to be fast but careful.
Aang: How was that careful? Sokka: I was wrong.
We need to be fast, careful and lucky.
Sokka: Theres no floor! Its just a river of lava.
Aang: Climb aboard and hold on tight.
Sokka: Thats some door! Not a problem.
I am so glad we added you to the group.
Retreat! Everyone move to secondary defensive position! Retreat! Bato: The eclipse is only minutes away.
We should be able to make it up the hill by the time it starts and secure the entire palace by the time its finished! We can wait here if you want.
No.
I want to press forward with the others.
War Minister Qin: The Fire Lords chamber is that way down the hall to the left and up the stairs.
You cant miss it.
Thanks.
Sokka: Only 30 seconds until the total eclipse.
Im ready.
Im ready to face the Fire Lord.
Azula: So, you are alive after all.
I had a hunch that you survived.
It doesnt matter, Ive known about the invasion for months.
Im ready to face you.
Fire Lord Ozai: Prince Zuko, what are you doing here? The Mechanist: The eclipse is starting.
Put on your eclipse glasses.
Fire Lord Ozai: Why are you here? Im here to tell the truth.
Fire Lord Ozai: Telling the truth during the middle of an eclipse.
This should be interesting.
Zuko: First of all, in Ba Sing Se, it was Azula who took down the Avatar, not me.
Fire Lord Ozai: Why would she lie to me about that? Zuko: Because the Avatar is not dead.
He survived.
What?! Zuko: In fact, he probably is leading this invasion.
He could be on his way right now.
Get out! Get out of my sight right now if you know whats good for you.
Thats another thing.
Im not taking orders from you anymore.
You will obey me or this defiant breathe will be your last! Think again! I am going to speak my mind and you are going to listen.
Where is he? Where is the Fire Lord? Hm, you mean Im not good enough for you? Youre hurting my feelings.
Stop wasting our time and give us the information.
Youre powerless right now, so youre in no position to refuse.
And stick to the truth.
Ill be able to tell if youre lying.
Are you sure? Im a pretty good liar.
I am a 400 foot tall purple platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings Okay youre good, I admit it.
But you really ought to consider telling the truth anyway.
When I left Ba Sing Se, I brought home some souvenirs.
Dai Li agents.
Bato: Surround the periphery! We have to secure the palace by the time the eclipse is over.
Otherwise, well be in for the fight of our lives.
Tyro: Stop! Surrender peacefully and we wont harm you.
Well never surrender.
Er okay, we surrender.
Hakoda: There it is.
The Fire Nation royal palace.
Weve come so far.
Its not over yet.
Zuko: For so long, all I wanted was you to love me, to accept me.
I thought it was my honor that I wanted but really, I was just trying to please you.
You, my father, who banished me just for talking out of turn.
(points a sword at Ozai) My father, who challenged me; a 13-year-old boy to an Agni Kai.
How can you possibly justify a duel with a child? It was to teach you respect.
It was cruel! And it was wrong.
Then you have learned nothing.
No, Ive learnt everything! And I had to learn it on my own.
Growing up, we were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history.
.
and somehow, the war was our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world.
What an amazing lie that was.
The people of the world are terrified by the Fire Nation! They dont see our greatness, they hate us! And we deserve it.
Weve created an era of fear in the world.
And if we dont want the world to destroy itself, we need to replace it with an era of peace and kindness.
(laughs mocking) Your Uncle has gotten to you, hasnt he? Yes.
He has.
I cant pin her down.
Shes too quick.
Wait! Aang, Toph, stop attacking.
Dont you see what shes doing? Shes just playing with us.
Shes not even trying to win this fight! Not true, Im giving it my all.
Youre trying to keep us here and waste all our time! Um, right.
I think your friend just said that genius.
And since you cant see, I should tell you Im rolling my eyes.
Ill roll your whole head! Shes just baiting you again.
Okay, so what do we do? Just ignore her? We dont have a choice.
We just have to get out of here and find the Fire Lord on our own somehow.
Its a trap.
Dont say I didnt warn you.
Ignore! So, Sokkas your name right? My favorite prisoner used to mention you all the time.
She was convinced that you were going to come rescue her.
Of course, you never came and she gave up on you.
Come and get it Where is Suki?! Zuko: After I leave here today, Im going to free Uncle Iroh from his prison and Im going to beg for his forgiveness.
He is the one who has been a real father to me.
Thats just beautiful.
Maybe he can pass down to you the ways of tea and failure.
But Ive come to an even more important decision.
Im going to join the Avatar.
And Im going to help him defeat you.
Really? Since youre a full blown traitor now and you want me gone, why wait? Im powerless, youve got your swords, why dont you just do it now? Because I know my own destiny.
Taking you down is the Avatars destiny.
(sheathes his swords) Goodbye.
Coward! You think youre brave enough to face me but youll only do it during an eclipse.
If you have any real courage, youll stick around until the Sun comes out.
Dont you want to know what happened to your Mother? What happened that night? My father, Fire Lord Azulon, had commanded me to do the unthinkable to you, my own son.
And I was going to do it.
Your Mother had found out and swore she would protect you at any cost.
She knew I wanted the throne and she proposed a plan.
A plan in which I would become Fire Lord and your life would be spared.
Wheres Suki? Answer me! Sokka, she wont talk.
Where are you keeping her?! Your Mother did vicious, treasonous things that night.
She knew the consequences and accepted them.
For her treason, she was banished.
So shes alive.
Perhaps.
Now I realize that banishment is far too merciful a penalty for treason.
Your penalty will be far steeper.
Oh.
Sounds like the firebendings back on.
Dads all the way at the end of the hall and down the secret stairway on the left.
Im sure hell be more than happy to see you now.
Sokka: I fell for it! I used up all our time.
Its not your fault, Sokka.
Azula was ready for us.
She had every move planned out.
And now its too late.
Maybe its not too late.
The eclipse is over but I can face the Fire Lord anyway.
No.
I dont think thats a good idea.
But Im ready! I came here with a job to do and everyones counting on me.
The Fire Lord knew we were coming this time.
We thought we had surprise on our side but we didnt.
It just wasnt our day.
What we need to do now is go help our friends.
I guess you guys are right.
Youll have another chance.
I know you will.
Bato: What should we do, Hakoda? Shouldnt something have happened by now? I dont know.
But now that the eclipse is over, I expect were going to see some firebenders any minute.
The Mechanist: My own invention.
Oh this is terrible! Theyre back! It was all a trap.
Azula knew we were coming and shes plotted out every move.
We just got to get to the beach as fast as we can.
If we can make it to the submarines, maybe we can get away safely.
Aang: Theyve got air power, but so do I! Im going to do what I can to slow them down.
Katara: Appa, you and I can help too.
Everyone, lets get back to the subs! We cant keep them all back.
Theyre too many of them! Lets join the others.
Uncle! Where is my Uncle? Warden Poon: Hes gone.
He busted himself out.
I Ive never seen anything like it! He was like a one man army! Try and find cover! I think were about to see some bombs.
Why arent they turning around to attack us again? Theyre headed for the beach.
Theyre going to destroy the submarines! How are we all going to escape? Were not.
Then our only choice is to stand and fight.
We have the Avatar, we could still win! Yes, with the Avatar we could still win on another day.
You kids have to leave.
You have to escape on Appa together.
What? We cant leave you behind.
We wont leave anyone behind.
Youre our only chance in a long run.
You and Sokka have to go with Aang somewhere safe.
Its the only way to keep hope alive.
Bato: The youngest of our group should go with you.
The adults will stay behind and surrender.
Well be prisoners but well all survive this battle.
Tyro: Ive got some experience with the Fire Nation prisons.
Its not going to be easy but well get by.
Theyre at the beach already! The Mechanist: Bye, son.
Teo: Bye, Dad.
Im really proud of you.
The Duke: Ill miss you, Pipsqueak.
Pipsqueak: Take care, The Duke.
Haru: Ill be back for you Dad.
Tyro: If we dont escape on our own first.
We lost today but weve never been this close.
We tasted victory and that counts for something.
Well miss you Dad.
Bye Dad.
We wont be apart for too long this time.
I promise.
Thank you all for being so brave and so strong.
Im going to make this up to you.
Captain: Should we follow them, Princess? No.
Theyre too fast.
It doesnt matter, theyll be back.
I know just the place for us to go where well be safe for a while.
The Western Air Temple.
