Duels

Duels can occur anywhere at anytime between any two beings. A duel can fall under one of three categories: bender vs bender, weapon vs weapon or bender vs. weapon.

Duels can be as quick as a minute or as long as an hour. A duel can be a fight to the death, or simply a spar. For example, Prince Sozin and his best friend Roku would duel outside the palace for fun. Aang would duel with his masters Katara and Toph, along with Zuko, to train.

Agni Kai
Agni Kai is the most common type of duels in the Fire Nation. It is fought by two Firebenders. It is never a duel for fun, and is almost always fought by bitter enemies. It is either a fight to death or immobilization. Agni Kais can be between any man or woman of any society, and are usually fought for redemption of honor, political positions (such as Fire Lord), and likely wealth.

Water Duel
The Water Tribe does seem to have a system of duels, but most are for fun and training. They are fought by two Waterbenders.

She uses her amazing acrobatic skills to dodge all the children's attacks. Soon Aang and Toph defeat the Dai Li agents. At the same time, Sokka sees through Azula's ruse, and tells Aang and Toph to ignore her, as she is trying to stall them. Azula, however, tampers with Sokka's emotions by telling him Suki used to mention him all the time, but soon gave up on him. Sokka attacks Azula in blind rage, and Toph pins her to a wall with Earthbending. Sokka interrogates Azula, but she only gives him a smug look. Finally, the eclipse ends and Azula attacks the three children, almost killing Sokka. She then happily tells them her father's location, and that he'll be more than happy to see them now, and leaves, earning a victory for her nation.

Holding his father at bay with dual broadswords, Zuko told Ozai that he'd come to realize the wrongness of the war, and announced his intention to join the Avatar. To keep Zuko from leaving, Ozai told him about the fate of his mother, stalling him long enough for the eclipse to end. At that point, Ozai generated lightning, and fired it at Zuko. Zuko absorbed the lightning, and redirected it back at his father, stunning him long enough to get away.

Katara attempted to stop Combustion Man by shooting ice spikes at him, but he used his metal arm to destroy them. He continued to fire until Sokka threw his boomerang into the air at the angle of the assassin's blasts. The boomerang did indeed hit Combustion Man right in his "third eye", blocking his chi.

Victor: None

Zuko vs. Azula
Unknowing of his daughter's descent into insanity, Ozai decreed that Princess Azula, was to become Fire Lord on the day of Sozin's Comet. Before Azula could be coronated, Zuko and Katara arrived, with intentions that Zuko would become the new Fire Lord. Azula, knowing she could not take on the both of them, challenged Zuko to an Agni Kai. Zuko accepted, much to Katara's discomfort. Zuko and Azula then started their battle. They blasted enormous amounts of flames at each other. At first, the duel was pretty, even, though Azula's further descent into madness slowly gave Zuko the upper hand. Azula then tried to kill Zuko by jetting around him and attacking him on all sides, but to no avail. Zuko then got on the ground and created a fire tornado, knocking Azula to the ground, furthering her insanity even more. Zuko then taunted Azula for being scared to use lightning, as Zuko could redirect it.. Azula took the bait and generated a powerful bolt of lightning. At the last second, however, she aimed at Katara, who was vulnerable. Zuko jumped in front of the lightning to save her. However, he could not redirect some of it, which caused him to be badly injured. Azula then focused her attention on Katara.



Katara vs. Azula
Azula chased Katara across the arena. Katara ran for her life, barely escaping the huge bolts of lightning and blasts of blue fire coming her way. Azula then decided to chase Katara by propelling herself in the air through the arena. Katara tried to stop her, but to no avail. Right when Katara's chances of survival seemed impossible, Katara found an underground vent filled with water and chains on a pole. Azula then caught up with Katara, and got ready to kill her. Right at the last second, Katara trapped her and Azula in ice. She then thawed herself out, and then tightly tied Azula to the vent with the chain. She then unfroze the two of them and healed Zuko, while Azula watched in rage. Finally, Azula realized her defeat, and went completely insane, crying and screaming hysterically, while Katara and Zuko watched in pity and sadness.

Final Duel in Wulong Forest
Combatants: Avatar Aang and Phoenix King Ozai

Victor: Avatar Aang

Though hesitant to fight or kill, Aang waits for Phoenix King Ozai's airship as he attempted to burn down the entire Earth Kingdom. When Aang finally came across Ozai's airship, he destroyed it using comet enhanced Firebending and Earthbending. Seeing Aang, Ozai took off his armor and propelled himself to a large rock, only yards away from Aang. Aang told Ozai that they don't need to fight, and that Ozai has the power to stop what he is doing. Ozai refuses, and attacks Aang. The two fight furiously, yet evenly. After a while, Ozai uses lightning against Aang. Aang dodges as many as he can, but he is finally hit by one, leaving him with no choice but to redirect it. Hesitant to kill Ozai, Aang instead unleashes the bolt into the sky, leaving him in physical pain. Ozai takes advantage of this, and soon gains the upper hand. Aang soon finds himself falling to his possible death, which he barely escaped by Waterbending. He ended up washed up beside the lake, and hid in a ball of earth. Ozai mocked him and his people for their peaceful nature, and started to burn up Aang's earth ball. He is eventually successful in destroying the ball. However, the force of the flame caused Aang's scar to smash into a rock, unlocking his Seventh Chakra, and letting him enter the Avatar State.

He then quickly overwhelms Ozai with all his power. Ozai attempts to flee, but he is eventually captured by Aang. Right before Aang could kill Ozai, however, he leaves the Avatar State. Ozai states that he is still weak even with all the power he has, and attempts to kill Aang again. Aang, however, senses his movement, traps his hands and feet to the ground, and uses Energybending, a bending art which was taught to him by a Lion Turtle, to take away Ozai's Firebending. Surprised at his loss of energy and bending, Ozai angrily asks Aang what he did to him. Aang tells him that he took his bending away, and then uses Waterbending to put out the forest fires Ozai and his men created. Sokka, Toph, and Suki, then come to mock the now defeated Phoenix King. With Aang's victory, The War ended, leaving the world at peace once more.
