Duels

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

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, Toph and Zuko, to train.

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

Earth Rumble VI
The Earth Rumble VI is the only known organized dueling system in the Earth Kingdom. It is fought between two Earthbenders. Unlike an Agni Kai, the competition is more for fun, and is not a fight to the death. An opponent wins by knocking the other competitor out of the ring, and whoever does not lose a single match becomes the champion, or the ultimate victor.

Known Fighters

 * Xin Fu
 * The Boulder
 * The Hippo

Water Duel
The Water Tribes do seem to have a system of duels, but most are for fun and training. They are fought between two Waterbenders. The most intense water duels are simply a fight to earn a right, such as being taught by a master. The duels are usually a fight to immobilization due to the Water Tribe's more spiritual nature.

Known Fighters

Many other undefined duels can occur, usually for simple fun or duels between different benders and warriors.

Throughout the battle she would use her amazing acrobatic skills to dodge all the children's attacks. Soon Aang and Toph defeated the Dai Li agents. At the same time, Sokka saw through Azula's ruse and told Aang and Toph to ignore her, as she was trying to stall them. Azula, however, was able to sucessfully manipulate Sokka's emotions by telling him that Suki used to mention him all the time, but soon gave up on him. Sokka attacked Azula in blind rage, and Toph pinned her to a wall with Earthbending. Sokka interrogated Azula, but she only gave him a smug look. When the eclipse ended, Azula attacked the three children, almost killing Sokka. She then happily told them her father's location, and that he'd be more than happy to see them now, and left, earning a victory for her nation.

Duel between Zuko and Ozai
Combatants: Ozai, Zuko

Victor: Zuko

At the same time as the above battle, Zuko stepped into his father's secret chamber at the beginning of the eclipse. 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.

Attack in the Western Air Temple
Combatants: Team Avatar, Zuko, Combustion Man

Victor: Team Avatar and Zuko

After Team Avatar was followed by a now good Zuko, Toph's feet got burned by Zuko (accidentally) when she went to visit him. Team Avatar then tended her feet in a fountain, while Sokka planned an attack on Zuko. The gang was soon interrupted, however, when Combustion Man attacked them. He would have killed them on the first shot, but Zuko stopped him, giving Team Avatar a warning to escape. Combustion Man soon blew Zuko off the edge of a roof, but he was able to hold onto a vine. 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. Combustion Man ignored this and tried to fire again, but instead he caused a massive explosion, ultimately killing him.

Duel on the Gondola
Combatants: Zuko, Sokka, Suki, Princess Azula, Ty Lee

Victor: No victor. Interrupted by the prison guards

Zuko, Sokka, Suki, Chit Sang and Hakoda were trapped in the Boiling Rock. In order to escape they took the Warden hostage and entered one of the prison's gondolas. While they were escaping, they soon found a pursuing Azula and Ty Lee. Ty Lee ran across the cable and onto the gondola, while Azula propelled herself onto the gondola with Firebending. Zuko and Sokka then fought Azula, while Suki fought Ty Lee. Zuko and Sokka tried their best to defeat Azula, but she proved an even foe, with flames hurtling both ways. Ty Lee and Suki also battled evenly. The fight soon ended, however, when the Warden told his guards to cut the line. Azula and Ty Lee then made it onto another gondola, leaving the five escapees to boil to death in the lake's scalding waters.

Duel by the Gondola's Line
Combatants: Mai, Boiling Rock Guards

Victor: Mai (later arrested)

As the guards were nearing completion in killing the escapees by cutting the line, Mai attacked them to save Zuko, much to the surprise of everyone. A battle then ensued, where Mai showed great skill. She precisely pinned each guard to the wall, despite their Firebending. She then released the gondola's cable, and defeated the remaining guards, winning the fight, but at the same time losing Azula's alliance.

Duel on the Airship
Combatants: Zuko and Princess Azula

Victor: None

As Team Avatar escaped from Princess Azula's attack on the Western Air Temple, Zuko went to fight Azula himself. He found her on top of one of the airship's command towers. She screamed in an insane voice at him of her excitement of her soon to be celebration of becoming an only child, and then she attacked with a furious blast of blue fire, which barely missed Zuko. He attempted to defeat her, but he could only destroy her command tower before he fell into an abyss. Azula was sure she had won, but she was proven wrong when Zuko came back on top of another airship. The two fought furiously, though this time Azula did not gain the upper hand. The two then unleashed an extremely powerful blast of fire at the other, causing both of them to fall off the airship. Zuko was saved by his new friends, while Azula propelled herself to a cliff and used her headpiece to grapple onto the side.

Duel on the Captain's Ship
Combatants: Katara, Zuko, Southern Raiders Captain

Victor: Katara and Zuko

When Katara set out to find the man who killed her mother, she and Zuko attacked the Southern Raiders' lead ship, searching for the man they believed was responsible. They were able to quickly fight to the ship's command center, and the captain and Zuko traded fire blasts. Katara, however, subdued him with Bloodbending. He denied being Kya's killer, and Katara viciously told him to look her in the eye and tell her he did not kill her mother. The man met her gaze with sincere eyes, and Katara realized that he was not the man they were looking for, and released him. Zuko, however, interrogated him to find out who the previous captain, and the current captain told them that they are looking for Yon Rha, the real killer.

Duel by the Beach House
Combatants: Avatar Aang and Zuko

Victor: Not intended

Zuko, angry that his friends were relaxing while they were on Ember Island three days before Sozin's Comet would arrive, attacked Aang to teach him a lesson. Zuko chased Aang across the beach, blasting puffs of fire at him. The duel continued and moved into the beach house. Finally, Aang ended the scuffle by shooting Zuko out of the beach house with a blast of air.

Duel in the Fire Nation Airship
Combatants: Toph, Airship Captain, Airship Soldiers

Victor: Toph

Sokka, Suki and Toph traveled to Ba Sing Se to launch an attack on the Fire Lord's Airship Fleet and participate in the Battle at Wulong Forest. They boarded a Fire Nation Airship. Toph knocked on the control room door and used Metalbending to disable the soldiers and the Airship Captain while Sokka and Suki waited outside. Toph made a metal armor with the door and she easily defeated the crew of the airship, enclosing them with metal on the walls.

Comet Enhanced Agni Kai
Combatants: Zuko, Pre-crowned Fire Lord Azula, Katara (later)

Victor: Katara

Zuko lost. He was zapped by lightning. Please do not add him.

Zuko vs. Azula
Not knowing of his daughter's descent into insanity, Phoenix King 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, intending for Zuko to 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 and 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 all of the lightning, 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 to be zero, 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 herself 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 waited for Phoenix King Ozai's airship as Ozai attempted to burn down the entire Earth Kingdom. When Ozai's airship finally arrived at the coast, Aang destroyed it using Earthbending and comet enhanced Firebending. Seeing Aang, Ozai took off his armor and propelled himself to a large rock, only yards away from Aang. Aang told Ozai that they didn't have to fight, and that Ozai had the power to stop what he was doing. Ozai refused, and attacked Aang. The two fought furiously, yet evenly. After a while, Ozai used lightning against Aang. Aang dodged as many as he could, but he was finally hit by one, leaving him with no choice but to redirect it. Hesitant to kill Ozai, Aang instead unleashed the bolt into the sky, leaving him in physical pain. Ozai took advantage of this, and soon gained the upper hand. Aang soon found himself falling to his possible death, which he was barely able escape 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. Ozai was 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.

Aang then quickly overwhelmed Ozai with all his power. Ozai attempted to flee, but he was eventually captured by Aang. Right before Aang could kill Ozai, however, he left the Avatar State. Ozai stated that Aang was still weak even with all the power he had, and attempted to kill Aang again. Aang, however, sensed his movement and trapped Ozai's hands and feet to the ground. With his limbs immobilized, Ozai attempted to attack Aang with a fire breath, but the Avatar was able to block the attack with Airbending. Aang then used Energybending, a bending art which was taught to him by a Lion Turtle, to take away Ozai's Firebending. Surprised at the loss of his ability to Firebend, Ozai angrily asked Aang what he did to him. Aang told Ozai that he took his bending away to remove him as a threat. Aang then used Waterbending to put out the forest fires Ozai and his men created. Sokka, Toph, and Suki, then arrived to mock the now defeated Phoenix King. With Aang's victory, the War ended, leaving the world at peace once more.
