what do you mean?

oh yeah now i get where your coming from.

i forgot about that news i didnt figure it to be of much importance

When I say the colonies, I don't mean the captured earth kingdom towns like the one Haru came from. Those are not the fireenation colonies. The firenation colonies are the ones we saw in "The Deserter" and "The Avatar State" - towns that were built by firenation citizens who left the firenation for some reason or another to start a new life in the earth kingdom. From the scenes in "the deserter", the people seemed pretty happy, not mention loyal to the firelord (remember the puppet show). Plus, there's the fact that the people in some the older colonies were most likely born there. It is their home, and they will not appreciate Zuko helping the avatar kill Ozai, and then taking over as firelord and ordering them to up and move back to the firenation.

But Ozai will be the Pheonix King, not Fire lord. He just has to battle the current fire lord and I doubt you can be a king and lord, it would be putting way to much pressure on one person and he's not that stupid.

Why couldn't they work on a system to share it? Completely blend the civilizations. It's like the Guru said, they are all one people who live as though divided. That's something I think Zuko can understand, and Iroh espescially!

pretty much ozai and azula must be defeated in order for zuko to possibly take the throne.

Unless Aang takes down the pheonix king. And since we've never heard of one then perhaps once one is dead then you don't have another until it's nessacary or until some dictator shows up and wipes out the other nations. They've just gotta double team, Zuko to Azula, Aang to Ozai. Zuko said it himself in Boiling Rock in response to Suki's 'Rematch I've been waiting for' he said Me too. But the thing is he had Sokka helping so it didn't seem as though it was his fight. he's tried numerous times to fight her but it's always unbalanced by Iroh, Dai Li, gang, sokka, so we need to have a two on two fight to the finish. If Zuko and Aang team against Ozai and Azula the sides would be perfectly fair. If they could take out the two the pheanix king would be out of the picture and Zuko would have won the fight for the throne. But then again it's a great blind earth bender once said "Things don't go that smoothly for our little gang"

Somhow, I have a feeling that the earth kingdom is going to want them gone. Without an army to protect them, I imagine that it wouldn't be long before an angry mob of refugees comes after the colonies to take back their homes.

you said that on the last page, it probably wont happen.

Very well then. If the thread refuses to die, then let it at least be given a little nudge back on topic.

The fact is simple. Whether it is Ozai, Azula, or somthing else, the heroes need some way to control the firenation miliatry at least long enough to firmly establish Zuko or Iroh as the next ruler. With Sozin's Comet having arrived fighting them is not an option.

So I ask this question: If Ozai or Azula will not be used to force the rest of the firenation into a complete surender, what will? Even if the elimination of the only members of the royal family who haven't been declared traitors does throw the firenation into chaos, how will the gaang stop them from causing massive destruction in revenge for Ozai?

who says the army will have harnessed the power of sozin's comet. the gaang could stop the army before they reached it. also how would the fire nation know the trojectory of the comet?

Sozin's Comet, once known as the centennially returning "Great Comet" is the firenation's answer to the full moon that grants tremendous power to the water tribe. It is not somthing that needs to be purpsefully harnessed, it comes, it grants firebenders unbelievable strength for several years, and leaves.
