#Avatar the last airbender episode 2 the avatar returns series#

Sokka eventually remembers Aang's command phrase for Appa to take off, 'Yip yip,' and the bison quickly launches into the sky, moving much more quickly. Katara and Sokka, having found Appa and started after Zuko's ship, slowly make progress as Appa swims through the water. One of the escorts recovers, and sounds the alarm. He then proceeds to rapidly run through the inners of the ship, trying to retrieve his staff. While being taken to the prison hold, Aang, with his hands tied, uses his powerful breath to knock out both of his escorts. Iroh, true to his nature, immediately and casually passes the job on to the nearest guard.

On Zuko's ship, the guards escort Aang to the prison hold, while Prince Zuko entrusts his Uncle Iroh with taking the boy's glider to his personal quarters. The siblings realize that their small boat has no chance of catching the larger, faster Fire Nation ship, until Appa arrives to give them a ride. They ready a canoe to chase after Zuko's ship, and before embarking receive farewells and encouragement from their grandmother. Katara and Sokka, now with the knowledge that Aang is the Avatar, quickly move to save him. Aang surrenders, and Zuko's soldiers take him aboard as a prisoner before setting off for the Fire Nation. Aang is able to defend himself with Airbending, but soon decides to stop the battle when he realizes that Zuko's attacks would inevitably strike the children he has befriended.

Zuko quickly regains his focus, and wastes no time in launching a series of fire blasts at Aang. As he voices this revelation, the Water Tribe villagers express their own surprise. Zuko is shocked as he realizes that the Avatar is merely a twelve-year-old boy, rather than the ancient master he was expecting. Sokka only manages a lucky hit when his boomerang strikes the back of Zuko's helmet, angering the prince to the extent that he prepares to use Firebending on the unfortunate villagers.ДЄang arrives at the nick of time, riding on a penguin-otter, and knocks Zuko off of his feet. The two fight briefly, and once again Zuko only needs to use his bare hands to render Sokka's attacks useless. He grabs Gran Gran Kanna threateningly, and Sokka attacks Zuko again. Zuko demands the location of the Avatar, expecting to find an old man somewhere in the village. The more experienced Zuko requires only his bare hands to counter Sokka's primitive weaponry, and he is almost dismissive of his presence at first. Zuko quickly descends, accompanied by only a very small number of soldiers, and Sokka charges him. Still, Sokka stands bravely, only balking in order to avoid the ramp that descends from the ship. Zuko's ship quickly arrives at the Water Tribe village, its mere approaching collapsing Sokka's makeshift walls and towers. Zuko dons a traditional Fire Nation soldier's uniform and helmet, while Sokka readies his weapons and applies black, grey, and white warpaint to his face. Sokka and Zuko individually prepare for the rapidly approaching encounter. Aang spots Zuko's ship approaching the village, and quickly decides to help defend his new friends, leaving a dozing Appa to continue resting in the ice formation. Meanwhile, Aang and Appa, taking a break from their so far young journey, rest on an ice formation. Sokka quickly readies the young children for combat with the Fire Nation. Katara is quite frustrated that they have banished Aang, and snaps at her grandmother. Aang and Appa ride off together, setting course for the Southern Air Temple where Aang previously lived.

However, after only a small amount of persuasion by Sokka and Kanna, she sadly decides to stay with her family. Katara becomes outraged with the decision, and at first decides to leave as well so that she can follow her dream of becoming a Waterbender. The villagers, after angry words spoken by Sokka, decide to banish Aang from the South Pole. Because the beacon has set off, the safety of the village has become endangered. Aang and Katara come back from the ship to be greeted by many angry faces.

While exploring an abandoned Fire Nation warship, Aang realizes he has been in suspended animation for a century, and accidentally sets off a trap warning the Fire Nation of his presence on their ship.
