Aang (games)


 * This article is about the character in the games. For the series one, see Aang. For the episode by a similar name, see Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang

Avatar Aang is an Air Nomad, and the current Avatar, which is the manifestation of the spirit world in human form, and thus the only person in the Avatar world who can use all four bending disciplines: Airbending, Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending. He is also one of the few Avatars to use Energybending, and the only one to use it during the series.

Northern Water Tribe
Sometime after the Siege of the North, Aang was requested to meet the Tribe Elder, Master Wei. First, though, he was confronted by wolves, but easily defeated (not killing) them. As he did this, he noticed and picked up a Water Skin. Once reaching the Elder, he was asked to go and investigate the disappearances of Waterbenders from the tribe. He ventured back to near where he was, going into an ice cave. After dodging ice and defeating more wolves, he could not find anything. But as he returned to the tribe camp, he saw Zuko's ship docked in at the edge of the snow, and hastily ran back.

As he ran to the tribe, fighting off a few wolves, he saw, unclear, in the distance Katara being taken by Fire Soldiers. Once he finally reached the tribe camp, it was damaged, and Katara was gone. He ran to a training area and found Sokka, and the two ventured to Appa who was trying to defeat a giant Firebending machine. They climbed on Appa and headed to a small island which was where a villager had told them the ship had gone to.

The Village
After leaving the Water Tribe village, what was left of Team Avatar traveled to an Earth Kingdom village, refered to as the Port Village. At the village, Aang and Sokka discover a new ability of invisibility for some seconds. This ability helps them sneek through some guards and enter the village. At the village, Aang and Sokka meet the village elder. This sweet old lady tells Aang and Sokka that she hasn't seen Katara but will ask around for information and clues. In the meanwhile, she tells them that they can move around without revealing their identity by stealing Fire Nation army clothes. So Sokka and Aang go into a nearby Fire Nation barracks. There they find uniforms and then return to the village. Upon returning to the village, the elder asks them for help with a major issue. She tells them that the village's food is mysteriously disappearing somewhere. Aang agrees to help and fights through several small groups of Hog Monkeys to get to the mountains. There they discover that the Fire Nation is stealing and storing the village food inside a cave located in the high mountains. They both inform the elder and she thanks them. She also tells them to speak the Dock Merhcant because he might have some information. Aang and Sokka find the Dock Merchant at the docks. He tells them he saw Zuko's ship being captured and taken to the village docks. Then the Jailer imprisoned him and Katara in a prison in the mountains. With this information, Aang and Sokka head to the prison.

Rescuing Katara
After Aang and Sokka arrived at the Fire Nation prison, they fought their way through several Firebenders, spearmen, soldiers, and firebending captains. They then had to battle a Firebending captain at the bottom level of the prison, where Katara is being kept. When Katara is freed she then told Sokka and Aang about a machine maker named Lian who is being forced to make machines and is locked up in that prison. Then the team entered a large prison chamber and found the Jailer meditating at the middle. Lian is suprised to see an airbender and watches the battle. The Jailer shows great proficiency in Firebending but ultimately the team still managed to beat him. They then find that Lian has escaped and left a map showing direction from the Northern Water Tribe, to the village, to another Earth village, and then the city of Omashu. They then head out to an Earth village on Appa.

Heading to Omashu
Once there, Team Avatar aided Tyro, Haru, and the other Earthbenders who were attacked by the machines. Tyro then told them that one of their own members, Yuan, was also kidnapped. Haru joins the team to help find his friend. Aang communicated with the Forest Spirit protecting the land in which he advised them to go to Omashu.

Their journey took them to Omashu where King Bumi gave them directions to a secret hidden island. They managed to leave the city relatively unscathed when the Fire Nation invaded. Zuko then appeared, but failed to catch up, and was taken prisoner by a machine.

The Island and Lian
On the island, they find the Maker Lian, making more machines. She fears that Aang will not be able to master all four elements before Sozin's Comet arrives. Aang refused her help, seeing as how the machines were disrupting villages. Lian then voiced her contempt for him as she sends a machine to fight them to flee to the Air temple, attempting to destroy the Avatar statues. They stop Lian, but Katara, Sokka, and Haru are captured by another machine. The gang chased her down until they reached a fortress, in which they briefly encountered Zuko who is held captive there. Despite Aang's efforts to help him, Zuko attacked the group, and was swept away in a waterfall.

Final Fights
The four entered the fortress, where they find Lian, having finished a machine being manned by the missing waterbender Hiryu, Haru's friend Yuan and a nameless firebender. In the deepest level of the fortress, Aang faced Lian to stop her creations. Lian then voiced her contempt for benders in general saying "thinkers should be in charge, not magicians". Believing that division of the elements is the real reason behind the war, her machines will be used to "even the playing field". Sokka, the one who does not bend in the group, voiced his disagreement to her opinion.

Lian then called out to the missing benders, including Yuan, who revealed themselves apparently willing to aid her by powering the Ultimation a war machine capable of controlling fire, earth, water, sound and air.

Team Avatar's united attacks managed to put down the machine. As Aang got distracted Ultimation tried to attack him from behind. Katara got in the way to protect him but gets hit by the Ultimation and is knocked unconscious. Enraged, Aang went into the Avatar State and easily destroyed the machine. It toppled over Lian, presumably killing her.

Haru and Yuan reconcile, and the team left the place behind on Appa. Haru asked if Sokka never liked benders as he said with Lian, in which the latter commented that he finds them alright. Katara and Aang then began to tease him, much to his aggravation.

Fong's Base
As soon as Aang enters the base, General Fong asks Aang to enter the Avatar State to which Aang declines. Once Aang said he would think about it, the trio help around the fortress. Aang was convinced by Katara to decline the General's offer. When Aang tells the General this, he sends his soldiers to attack. After defeating the soldiers, Sokka knocks out the General with his boomerang. Then the group returns to Appa and flies towards Omashu.

Omashu
Upon reaching Omashu, they see that it has been captured by the Fire Nation. Despite the objection of Katara and Sokka, Aang decides to go in and rescue Bumi. Aang with Sokka goes to Omashu via a secret path in sewer (A path that leaves Sokka clearly displeased). Once they reach the surface, they find the man that hears "the voices" (actually Fire Nation Soldiers speaking, their voices emanating from a pipe.) Suddenly, the group is earthbended into a base within the sewer. There they find a resistance group and they learn that Bumi surrendered the city as soon as the Fire Nation troops arrived. The resistance leader says that fighting is the only path to freedom. Aang suggests that a better alternative would be to leave Omashu and come back to fight another day. Sokka comes up with the idea to use "pentapox" to trick the governor into letting the citizens leave. Aang and Sokka steal Fire Nation supplies from the surface and find Pentapi in the sewer. Then, Katara comes back from feeding Appa. Aang and Katara then go to the Royal Palace where the Governor is waiting for them. Aang and Katara eventually defeat him and Aang finds Bumi. Before Aang can free Bumi, Bumi tells him that there is a third type of jings called neutral jing that is neither attacking or evading but doing nothing and waiting for the oppurtune moment to strike. Aang understands and realizes that this is the reason Bumi surrendered. Bumi also tells him its the reason that he can't leave now. Aang sadly realizes that he has to find another person to teach him earthbending. Bumi tells Aang that his master will be someone who has mastered neutral jing, who waits and listens before striking. Aang says goodbye to Bumi and the group then flies off on Appa.

The Swamp
After the group gets split into pairs due to vines pulling them below, Aang, along with Sokka, cleans up Fire Nation waste that is polluting the swamp. Once the group links up they are informed by a villager that a group of men from the village are trying to hunt Appa for dinner. Aang goes to the location where he, was last seen. After reuniting, the team is attacked by a swamp monster who turns out to just be a villager. The villager educates Aang about the spirituality of the swamp and Aang then sees a vision about his future earth bending master, as well as the drill headed for Ba Sing Se.

Meeting Toph
After arriving in Gaoling, Sokka leaves in search of food while Aang and Katara head to Master Yu's Earthbending Academy. Along the way the pair is attacked by bounty hunters who create multiple roadblocks. After entering Yu's Academy, he challenges Aang to a fight. After the fight, Aang and Sokka battle the Earth Rumble VI contestants, and eventually defeat Toph. After discovering who she is, the pair head toward the Bei Fong Estate, but are ambushed by the bounty hunters from earlier, and taken captive. After breaking out and saving a captive professor, the pair sneak in to the Bei Fong Estate. While Aang and Sokka are talking to Toph the three are captured by Xin Fu. After Sokka and Toph defeat Xin Fu and free Aang, Toph agrees to teach him Earthbending. The team then heads for the Si Wong desert, for they had promised the professor from earlier to deliver some important blueprints.

Training with Toph
While in the Si Wong Desert, Toph starts training Aang Earthbending. After awhile, Aang makes a comment that offends Toph and the two spar. After sparring, the a pair fights off a group of Sandbenders who are trying to take Appa. After the fight Professor Zei tells the group of a library. After locating the libray, ever one except Toph entered and scoured through the manuscripts. After breaking Wan Shi Tong's trust he started to sink the library. Once the group escaped, Aang discovers Toph sans Appa. Then she informs him that Appa was taken by the group of sandbenders from before.

Ba Sing Se
Team Avatar decided to go to Ba Sing Se after Aang's training. When arriving, however, they found a giant drill trying to break down the walls. Everyone other than Toph went into the drill, where they came up with a plan where Katara and Aang broke down the pillars. After they did so, the two went to the top to fight Azula. When they reach the top of the drill, Azula shows up and Aang and Katara begin fighting her. After a while, Azula says that Aang's skills have improved since she last saw him, then asks for Zuko's opinion. Aang and Katara then have to battle both of them. When Zuko threatened to burn Katara and suffocate her in a ring of fire, Aang went into the Avatar State and knocked Zuko unconscious. Then after Azula had been weakened by Aang and Katara, she shot lightning at Katara, knocking her down. Aang went into the Avatar State again and knocks Azula out before she can hurt Katara. Aang then destoryed the drill with Katara's help, and escaped with Sokka and Toph on Appa. In the Earth King's palace later, the Team explained the invasion plan to the King. Aang then boasts about how he's mastered Waterbending and Earthbending and how that everything will be just fine. Katara and Toph then bend earth and water around Aang, binding his feet and arms and making him look like a rooster. The group then laughs at his embarrassment.

The Awakening
The game begins with Aang waking up from his Coma after his battle with Azula to find Katara standing over him. She expresses how concerned she and everyone else was for him and how glad she is to see he is okay. Suddenly, the horn of a Fire Nation ship sounds and Katara says they have to get up on deck. Aang and Katara then make their way to the deck to fight the Fire Nation Soldiers that have boarded their ship. Katara uses her waterbending to douse the flaming projectiles fired from the Enemy ship and Aang uses earthbending to launch them back at the ship. Aang and Katara eventually destroy the ship and Sokka tells Aang the invasion plan.

The Arms Factory
Team Avatar enters a small Fire Nation village located in a heavy-polluted river. When arriving at the poor and small town, Katara and Aang talk to Dock/Xu/Bushi. They ask him what the cause of the village's poverty and polluted river is. Dock/Xu/Bushi tells them that the cause of the poverty and pollution is the Fire Nation Military's Arms Factory. When Katara and Aang hear about the Arms Factory, they decide to go "take a visit" to the factory. They both use their waterbending skills to build an ice brige across the river and into the mountains. On the path to the factory, they encounter a few Fire Nation soldiers and other tasks. Once both of them get to the entrance, Aang can use his airbending skills to fight some group of factory guards. They enter the factory, and use waterbending to break some pipes, crates, etc. Aang and Katara can also freeze pipes with the water from some crates. By the time they both exit the factory, the factory is almost completely sabatoged by their bending. Aang and Katara later head back to the village.

Pier Fight
As Aang and Katara walk back to the village from the factory, they notice a formation of military jetskies circling the village. They notice the angered General Mung prepared to destroy the defenseless village. The jetskies then go around the village's pier. Aang then rushes to the pier with Katara. They get ready to battle and defend the defenseless village. General Mung notices them and now gets even more furious. They then begin to battle with the soldiers on the jetskies. After the battle continues for a while, General Mung jumps off his jetskie and onto the pier. There, Katara and Aang fight against Mung and several of his soldiers closely. Mung firebends and shots blast. However, Aang cleverly uses waterbending to freeze Mung in a block of ice and defeat the other soldiers. After the fight, the villagers thank him and Katara. However, Aang asks one request from Dock/Xu/Bushi. It is that General Mung is captured and kept someone remote and safe until after the invasion. Dock/Xu/Bushi agrees and thanks the Avatar and his friends.

Firelord In Hiding
Aang and Toph travel to the Fire Lord's secret bunker to find Ozai. However when they enter the Fire Lord's room they find not Ozai but Azula. Azula then reveals the presence of two Dai Li agents she brought from Ba Sing Se. Aang and Toph then get into an exhaustive fight against the Dai Li. Toph tries to warn Aang that Azula is just wasting their time but Aang insists they have to get to Azula to find Ozai. They eventually defeat the Dai Li agents and approach Azula who readies a lightning attack. Before she can attack however, Zuko shows up and blasts Azula from behind and knocks her out. Zuko then tells Aang that Ozai is not there and that he will help them escape but they have to move quickly.

Into the Inferno
The defeat of Ozai in the final level varies for the different gaming platforms. In the Wii and Playstation 2 versions of the game, the battle is portrayed almost the same as in the show except that Katara helps Aang defeat Ozai. In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Ozai grows to an enormous size and begins launching fireballs at Aang who goes into the avatar state and eventually defeats Ozai and takes away his firebending. In the Wii/PS2 versions, the game ends with Aang using Energybending to take Ozai's Firebending away. Zuko then shows up and tells his father that it's time to pay for what he's done. Ozai is then locked up in jail and seems to be going insane and says that he is the Phoenix King and that he will destroy them all. Then a prisoner who asks Ozai if he's going to eat his food, adding a little humor to the moment. The scene cuts to the outside of the Fire Nation Royal Palace. Katara asks Fire Lord Zuko what his plans are as Fire Lord and he states that he and Mai are going to work together to rebuild the relationships with the other kingdoms. Zuko then asks Aang what his plans are. Aang replies that he isn't sure and looks at Katara, who blushes in return, obviously sensing what he meant. Then he says that things are definitely looking up. In the DS version of the game the gang is seen grouped together. Aang slowly walks away from the group and Katara follows. They finally share a kiss and watch Sozin's Comet as it passes through the sky.
