Okay guys, tell me what you think about this. I'll still probably make it into a fanfic anyway.
---------------------

At the end of season three, however it actually happened doesn't matter-- the firelord was defeated and as the ultimate precaution Aang destroyed Sozin's comet. Ignoring all couples and shippings, here's what I have ideas for:

Azula: Ozai was defeated, but Azula wasn't and she managed to escape out to somewhere and went into hiding. Slowly for a little while she began to create a new army of her own to start a war all over again. She is banished by the new firelord, so this is a difficult task. Even more difficult because of a "revolution" happening within the fire nation. Anyway, the new firelord shows up talking about a "bridge" and demands she hand over her army to him. Azula refuses and they clash in battle. A battle she loses. She is left for dead by her collected soldiers, who accept the spirit as their new leader. Azula wishes to have revenge for this, but she knows she can't do it alone, and so reluctantly she sets out to find the avatar and his friends, first running into Mai and Ty Lee who follow her. Azula had made it her business to know the avatar's whereabouts and so they set out to find him.

Mai & Ty ee: Ty Lee returned to the circus after the war, where she sees she is truly happy. Mai is always bored no matter where she is, so she followed with Ty Lee to her circus job, where she impresses the crowds by hitting bulls-eyes. (Lame, I know) Anyway, there is an attack on the city they are performing on one day and barely manage to escape with their lives, as fire nation soldiers burned down the entire place. They meet up with Azula who they are no longer very good friends with, but join her anyway to find out what's going on.

Iroh: (assuming he doesn't die in season three) Iroh is now the new firelord, and as his first command, he chooses to banish Azula for all her evil. Iroh, however, falls prey to a strange sickness which he is unable to come out of. he had been showing signs since days after Sozin's comet was destroyed and the war ended. Zuko, being the ever-worried nephew, sets out to look for help. While Zuko is gone however, Iroh awakens and demands for a new army to be formed. Everyone is confused at his request, and when Iroh reveals he has less than a good purpose for the army, no one will obey his request, fearing another war. Iroh goes on a rampage and escapes to look for an army to command. He stumbles upon Azula who is somewhat surprised to see him. He commands her to hand over to him her gathered army, so that he may find "the bridge". She refuses and attacks him along with some of her army. Iroh lays waste to her aiding soldiers, and her as well. He looks upon the rest of the built army and gives them a choice. Follow, or die. They follow.

Zuko: Worried for his uncle's life, Zuko sets out to find someone who can heal him, but he knows there is still turmoil between the other nations and the fire nation, so he goes to the next best thing. He searches for the avatar in the Earth Kingdom, and runs into Toph instead, who took it upon herself to make it on her own for a while. Since in the end of season three(assuming) Zuko was a big help in defeating the firelord and ending the war, she decides to help him look for twinkle-toes. She tells him he left to advance his training with the guru, (assuming Aang didn't die for a moment and the avatar state is no more) and they head for the eastern air temple to find him. The two engage in a conversation about Iroh which Toph is interested in, seeing as she's good friends with the old man. Before they reach the eastern airtemple however, they both run into a familiar face. Or to say, a familiar face, and equally familiar vibration.

Toph: Unwilling to go back to her 'prison' back home, Toph chooses to travel the world on her own after the end of the war. She says goodbye to the old gang (everyone promises to meet again someday and some other mushy stuff) and she wanders through the earth Kingdom, wanting to 'see' what she missed as she flew on Appa. She refuses to ever go back to Ba Sing Se, and so sets out to go to other places like Omashu and visit Bumi(assuming he doesn't die) because she wants to test her skills against him. (and test his jokes, seeing as Aang spoke highly of him) After hitting Omashu she moves on to her next random destination, a place for a mini-vacation she never got to choose. During her traveling she runs into Zuko who is desperately in need of finding the avatar. Toph feels the need to help when she hears about Iroh and points Zuko in the right direction, and goes with him too to find Aang. They run into someone she never thought she'd 'see' again.

Katara: Katara chose to return to the south pole to help in making things better, along with all the new benders from the north pole. She furthers her training here and teaches others too. Things aren't peaceful for long, and she knows something's wrong when 'black snow' falls from the sky. Everyone gets ready to defend their home and fire nation ships are upon them soon.

Sokka: Choosing to join his father in the water tribe navy, he set out to become a more skilled warrior. The ship he and his father are on is attacked by a fire nation ship however, and they wonder if the fire nation is trying to start something up again. Sokka's dad (I forget his name) send Sokka to the south pole to make sure everything is all right. So a few ships head out to find out while the rest head for the north pole. Sokka and the other ships arrive in time to drive back the fire nation ships, and Sokka and Katara are shocked to hear the attack is in the name of Iroh. Katara's neckalace is all that is taken from the south pole as the fire nation ships leave. They figure out the best thing to do is to find Aang to see just what the heck is going on. When they get to the eastern air temple, they are surprised to see some familiar faces, but not happy to see all of them.

Jet: Jet, longshot, and smellerbee are back again. Roaming around the earth kingdom looking for something to do now that the war is over. On their own way they meet up with the familiar faces of Toph and Zuko. Needless to say, the two boys get ready to go tooth and nail against one another, but Toph and jet's gang manage to stop the fight before it breaks out. They call a truce, but not one either of them is particularly happy with. The five of them head on to the eastern air temple, where Katara, Sokka, Aang, the Guru, Azula, Mai and Ty lee are now as well. Seeing Azula there doesn't fall well with anyone, and she gets even worse reactions when she says Iroh has gone mad with power, especially from Zuko and Toph, but Katara and Sokka tell them of the attack on the south pole and everyone somewhat calms down. Azula is the first to propose an alliance. One that is refused completely, but after some persuading talk from her, everyone accepts... for now... The group sets out to track down Iroh, starting at the north pole.

The group: The group gets to the north Pole and after some big an awesome cut-scene of them (all except for Toph who can't see through Ice) fighting their way through the chaos-infested north pole, they reach Iroh who is standing in front of the spirit Oasis with Katara's neckalace in hand. He turnes around to them and welcomes the Avatar and his friends, saying they arrived just in time. Iroh reveals he is not Iroh at all, but a spirit in control of his body.

Iroh: Ah, avatar Aang... and friends, it's quite the pleasure to see those who released me from my elemental prison.
Zuko: What are you talking about uncle?
Iroh: I am not your uncle you fool. Simply the user of his body. Imprisonment in that wretched comet for thousands and thousands of years can be quite irritating you know. Avatar Aang-- when you destroyed the comet you also destroyed my prison, and not me, as the spirits who long ago sealed me would have thought.

Flashback:

Wan Shi Tong, a previous incarnation of the avatar, along with loads of other spirits, including Koh the face stealer, are facing another spirit(I haven't thought of a look for him), who is being held in some kind of cage made of the elements.

Avatar: We should destroy him. It's the only way to be sure he will not cause trouble again.
Wan Shi Tong: No. There is no telling what might happen if he is destroyed.
The Blue spirit(original): But there IS telling what will happen if he is not. He is far to dangerous to exist-- even as a spirit.
Koh: Then perhaps we should think of a more 'secure' way to do it. That prison certainly seems to be enough to hold him.
Wan Shi Tong: True, but it will not last for long. It is all that my knowledge was able to conjure up to trap him, but only for a short while, as we decide what to do.
Avatar: If he is far too dangerous to destroy, or be left alone, then he should be contained. Wan Shi Tong-- do you think a bigger prison could be built? One capable of holding him indefinately?
Wan Shi Tong: A stronger prison could certainly be built... But no prison would last forever, and he draws his power from the spirit world itself. For the prison to last he would have to be sent somewhere a little more... solid.
Koh: You suggest we send him to the world of the living?
Wa Shi Tong: It would prove far less hazardous were he to remain there. But in the living world he would still prove a great threat. Both worlds must remain safe. He shall be imprisoned and sent to the living world. And his prison-- a comet.

End flashback.

Possesed Iroh: So you see... you set me free avatar... after such a long time, I will finally return to the spirit world to claim my revenge. And I will not stop there-- I will return here with all my power and destroy this accursed dimension, which for so long served to keep me in my prison. I started the war, in hopes of speeding up my releasement. But the spirits were no fools... I cannot return to the spirit world by myself. I need a pathway there. And there is only one thing in this world that can give me that pathway-- that bridge. The avatar. But that is not enough. I must be at a place where the connection between the spirit world and the living world is powerful. Such a place was destroyed in the fire nation during your little trip there Aang, to speak with avatar Roku, and I am unable to enter through the air and earth temples. That leaves the north pole and its sacred place. But the sacred place is not complete! This neckalace is made from the bits of earth that form it, and now that I will return it I will be free to return to the spirit world. Now come close Avatar-- so that I may finish!!!

There is a long fight(including Toph, now that there's something around she can bend.) Iroh is defeated and the spirit possessing him is forced out of his body

Spirit: No... not after all this time... I WILL NOT BE DENIED!

Everyone (cept Ty lee I guess) contributes to a combined attack against the visible spirit, and their combined power ultimately destroys him completely. Add some scenes of the spirits congratulating the avatar and his friends in destroying the spirit and you have an ending. The spirits htough, reveal that the one they have just killed was the sun spirit, and without him the world will fall into chaos... but Iroh wakes up, and having some of the sun spirit within him, purified by his own kind soul, he become the new sun spirit and leaves behind everyone with a rather sad ending. Except for Azula and the other angels. Jet and Zuko now get along, and here ends my idea.

These are good, except that Iroh should be dumped off as soon as possible. They should fight the spirit in its real form the whole time. Since what I said about the volcano (if we use it) and being the fire spirit he should have like lava golems or something. The rest of everybody would fight them and Aang would take on the spirit by himself. If you use my idea for the spirit's appearance then it would look more impressive than them fightting Iroh.

I created the below plot for if we decide to do something that takes place before the show instead.?? I think it is a pretty solid story.?? Let me know what you all think.

Opening Scene:

Avatar Roku lies on his deathbed in the temple. The keepers try to
revive him but he eventually slips into the darkness. His spirit then
leaves his body and rises into the heavens to take its permanent place in the
spirit world.



Somewhere within the air nation mother gives birth to a baby boy. Aang
was born under his mother Remi and his father Tong. He is named Aang for
his grandfather the greatest airbender known for saving the air nation from
total anhilation by Chin the Conqueror. When Chin tried to get the
airnomads to join his army they were blown out of town by Aang. His
bravery gave them hope for a brighter future.



By the age of 2 Aang shows a natural ability to airbend. His parents were
surprised by this and took him to the Southern Air Temple. There they
spoke with Gyatso and the other monks. (Insert a ton of dialogue.) They were amazed by his natural ability and had a hunch about Aang being the
new Avatar. The monks took the young airbender into a room filled with
toys. Once there Aang explored the many toys and set them aside until he
came across four different toys. They were the relics of the
avatar. Satisfied with their conclusion the monks agreed to raise Aang
under the condition that they would not tell Aang he was the Avatar until his
16th birthday when he would be able to make the decision of staying with them
or moving on.



Years went by and by the age of 11 Aang was told of his parents story though
not of him being the Avatar. Aang now being a master of airbending
decided that he wanted to try and find his parents. So he became a nomad
himself and travelled. On his journey he met a boy named Bumi in the city
of Omashu. While there he
learned many things about survival in the world. They used the mail
system as transportation around the city as Aang and Bumi used their bending
skills to control the chutes. After some time Aang learned of a sighting
of his parents in the Fire Nation. So he left Omashu and travelled into
the fire nation. While he was there he met Kuzon where they got into all
sorts of trouble. He learned his way around the fire nation and he also
learned of his parents' stay. All the while as Aang travelled around he
learned of the many adventures that his parents took to only find out that
there last one ended in their death. (Their many adventures include
riding: hopping llamas, surf on the backs of giant koi fish, penguin sledding,
and riding hog-monkeys. All of which Aang points out to Katara and Sokka
in the Return of the Avatar episode. Nice tie in right?) After
discovering their death Aang returns to the Southern Air Temple to report his
findings and rejoin the monks. While their he teaches the younger monks
the air bending techniques.



All the while the one monk that motioned for Aang to be sent to the Eastern Air Temple
plots the fall of the Air Nation. He communicates with Sozin to get the
plans rolling. He does this because he wants to be deemed the High
Monk. So he plans the strike against the Southern Temple
first. He wants to get control over Aang so that they can control the
Avatar in order to not have any interference.



The other monks sense his deception and call Aang forward to reveal that he is
the Avatar. Gyatso helps Aang cope with it and also trains him in higher
level thought. Together they play Pai Sho and Gyatso give subtle hints to
Aang about the White Lotus Secret Society. After refusing Aang's lesson
to the evil monk (Gyatso knew of his plans to turn Aang against them.) the monk
then went to the high monks and asked to have Aang moved to the Eastern Air Temple. Aang overhears everything and decides to leave on his own again.

Gyatso comes to find the note from Aang while he tries to
tell Aang that he would not let them take him away. He takes the note to the other monks. When they decipher its meaning the rest of
them begin to setup a search party for him.

Meanwhile the evil monk goes to the Sozin and tells him what
is happening. Sozin sees the opportunity
for them to strike at the southern temple and other areas of the world just as
a comet is passing by he finds that it increases the power of fire
benders. Many were caught off guard as
the fire nation army attacked them A
huge fight takes place as the young monks die off easily.

Elsewhere Aang battles in the storm but becomes lost in the
iceberg.

While the battle rages many of the airbenders are able to
fend off the fire nation army. Then just
as war nears the end the comet begins to pass over. Instantly charged by its shear power the fire
nation strikes harder breaking down the defenses of all the cities they were
attacking. The airnomads are overwhelmed
and before they are annihilated some of them escape to warn the other temples
of what was going on. Some were
intercepted and killed by the fire nation but others made it when it was too
late. The air nation had fallen and many
of the air nomads disappeared into hiding.

After a few years Sozin had a child name Azulon whom he
trained to be a great general. Azulon
took on his father???s war like traits and continued the war. When his father passed away he took over as
the Fire Lord and led the army to many victories. His two sons Ozai and Iroh helped the army to
strategize the war. They attacked the
southern water tribe and destroyed the great city to only a few remaining
people where a small village was formed with Gran Gran, Sokka, and Katara. During the great battle Sokka and Katara lost
their mother but the many waterbenders of their tribe were able to battle off
the fire nation. Hakoda was their father
and he showed fierce determination to protect what was left of the tribe. So he drove the fight away from the South
Pole.

Azulon saw the minor losses as a victory because he knew
that they would not be a great threat to the Fire Nation any longer. He then sent his son Iroh to the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se to
sack the city in the name of the fire nation. For months they strategize the plan of attack on the city.

Meanwhile Ozai stayed at home in the fire nation helping
the generals formulate other plans for the Fire Nation???s success. With his wife Ursa they bore 2 children names
Zuko and Azula. Azula showed great
promise as a fire bender where Zuko struggled with his abilities. Azula attended a private school where she
learned many things that increase her cunning skills. Zuko learned most of everything from his
mother. The children competed for their
father???s affection. Azula won all the
time while Zuko was barely recognized for any of his efforts.

Iroh sent many letters of his fight with Ba Sing Se but news
swiftly came when he lost the war because of his retreat over his fallen
son. He returned from war a broken
general.

He drank heavily and attempted suicide. (This is when he has his encounter with the
spirit world.) He gets so close to
death that while he is in the spirit world he speaks with his son. His son convinces him to go on because he is
still needed for Zuko.

Meanwhile Ozai visits with Azulon to talk about revoking
Iroh???s birth right. Azulon tells him
that he must suffer the came kind of loss and for him to kill Zuko. He agrees. Ursa finds out about the deal from Azula when Azula reports it to
Zuko. She pulls her aside and verifies
the whole story. She then approaches
Ozai about this and challenges Azulon to Agni Kai in place of Zuko???s
death. She puts it so that if she wins
then Zuko gets to live and Ozai get???s the birth right but she would banish herself. (She does this because she has been plotting
Zuko to take the thrown so that he can just end the war and the world could
return to peace.) So the agni kai takes
place and Ursa wins. Azulon signs over
the birth right to Ozai and Ursa leaves the fire nation. Prior to her leaving she tells Zuko that she
has done everything for him.

The next day Zuko finds out about his mother leaving and
Azulon dying. Iroh comes out of a coma
to find that his brother is to become the fire lord. He finds a note left behind from Ursa in
regards to everything that has been happening. She asks him to take over teaching Zuko the ways of the righteousness. She knew he was changed man from the loss of
his son because of his active communication with her. He stops his drinking and changes to drinking
tea to kick his bad habit. His life was
renewed with his new task. Ursa gave him
the energy to go on in hopes that there would be peace one day.

At this point the story picks up with Zuko???s story and
Katara???s story with her learning about her skills with water bending.
