A/N: This is going to be the final chapter. Everything is going to be done all in one swoosh. Hope you have enjoyed this story. I'm working on another idea, in my head, for Zutara. Well, thank you for reading and let's get on with the story!

Plans in Action and Old Enemies settle Fights

Halima sat in a tree branch far up from the ground. She examined the grounds and looked down. Lokesh was standing, keeping watch from the ground. He looked up and motioned that it was clear. She nodded and looked up to the sky. She saw the black clouds hovering over the mountain that they had to climb. She sighed and jumped down to the ground. She looked at Lokesh and shook her head.

"We're going to have a journey ahead of us," she said. He nodded silently. He ran his fingers around his scar as he considered the plan.

"How did you get that scar?" Halima asked him absently. He smiled grimly.

"I was in the library one day. Sonia didn't want anyone to see the documents that you had left," he said laughing hoarsely. "She came right up behind me and used her lightning. I was out before I could take one breath. When I woke up, I had this scar on my eye." Halima just shook her head. She looked up the mountain and had an epiphany.

"Go back to the boy," she said to him. Lokesh looked at her. "The Avatar will need your help. The Fire Lord and his lady will need your help. I need to do this alone. I will see you soon. Until then, you are in charge… they won't have time to have their festival. Strategize and get the job done without hurting the mortals. It's time to unleash our abilities." He nodded and disappeared. She looked up the mountain and pictured her old home. She teleported and went to see her father.

Zuko and Katara had made their way to the island. The island was a jungle. There was a single village in the middle. Every type of animal lived on the island in peace. Everyone lived in peace, but it was a section of the world that had never been tainted by war. Until now, that is. Everything had changed when one of the Judges had betrayed the others. They had set everything up for the festival. Abu and Amari appeared next to them. They both smiled evilly as they glanced about the island.

"Remember what we did last time?" Abu asked Amari. She nodded, laughing a little. They had "accidentally" burned the whole village to the ground. The locals had not been pleased. What could they do about it?

"Do you think they remember us?" Amari asked lightly. Abu shook his head. It had been over one hundred years since they had even seen the island. Abu looked toward the farthest island, and saw the mainland beyond that. His gift was extensive sight. Amari had sensitive hearing. The two together were some of the best trackers in the world. She looked up and looked at Abu.

"What do you see?" she asked. He squinted and looked at her.

"Lokesh has turned around and is coming here. Halima is going on ahead to find Xavier and Junius," he said. Amari nodded and turned to the two royals. She smiled and took all ten boxes. That was the other ability of the Judges. Each had super strength. She smiled and carried the materials to the village. Abu stayed and was lookout.

When Amari got to the village, Kalila and Kamari were already waiting. Nitara stood by the plants and was talking to a gardener.

"Nitara!" Katara yelled out. Nitara looked up and grinned her easy grin. She hugged Katara and smiled easily. She nodded to Zuko and smiled tenderly as she saw Samuel behind him. Her grin grew wider when she saw a blue haired woman behind him. Nitara let go of Katara and ran over to the woman. The woman smiled and hugged Nitara. Nitara turned to Samuel. He nodded and went to the blue haired woman. He gripped her hand tightly. She smiled at him and he smiled back. She looked at Katara.

"My name is Nasira," she said. Katara nodded. Nasira looked at Katara and nodded. She grinned at Nitara as Abu and Amari pulled pranks on the locals.

"They will be banned from this island now," she said. Nitara shook her head.

"I don't want to baby-sit them this time around," she said. "I had five hundred years with them. Five hundred years was more than enough. They are rascals that can only be controlled by Halima." Nasira nodded. Samuel scowled as he noticed the darkening sky.

"Sonia and Jack are already on the move," he said. "Where are Kalila and Kamari?"

"We're here," Kamari's voice rang out. Beside her walked the black haired version of her. They both bowed to Katara, and looked at Samuel.

"What do we do?" Kalila asked. Samuel shrugged his shoulders. Lokesh suddenly appeared before them. He looked at Katara and Zuko.

"I want you two to remain hidden," he said. "You two are the key for our future. We need you to survive this fight…" he looked at all of the gathered Judges. "Samuel, you will stay by me. Kalila and Kamari go to the shore and wait for Jack. Halima said that you could use all of your abilities. Nasira and Nitara you two should start fortifying this village. Jungle combat is your specialty, Nitara… you can unleash your firebending, both of you.

"Abu and Amari, you two are the lookouts. Tell us when they get here. Go into the high trees. Make yourselves hidden," he said. He looked to Samuel. Gauri appeared beside Samuel. "You two will protect the village. Nitara will be your fighting partner, Gauri. Nasira and Samuel will be paired up."

"What about you?" Gauri asked him. Lokesh smiled grimly.

"I have to prepare for the two old ones," he said. He went into a local grocery shop. He got supplies for a meal and started cooking. He hummed as he made some hearty meat soup. Everyone went on their business though.

Aang was getting to the one of the air temples when he was pulled into his subconscious. Time had paused around him, and he was going to talk to someone. He appeared in a grassy field and looked around. A young woman with long sable colored hair stood by a lone tree in the middle of the field. She had a light pink dress on and a pink ribbon that drew back her hair from her face. She smiled at Aang kindly. He felt at peace without knowing why.

"So, you are the current Avatar," she said. Her voice flowed like the smoothest creek in the universe. She smiled and motioned for him to join her. She sat down on the ground and he came with her. She smiled and nodded. She looked into his gray eyes. She had the exact color. She smiled and shook her head.

"Why are you turning your back against the Judges?" she asked him. He looked at her confused.

"What do you mean? The Judges haven't done anything for me," he said. She smiled ruefully.

"But they have," she said. "They are responsible for the existence of the Avatar. After all, it was one of their dying who made the foundations for the Avatar legacy." Aang looked at her confused. She sighed.

"One of the Judges was sick," she said. "Another Judge told her that she could save her. It would be at a price. The dying Judge would never remember anyone, unless something happened to trigger it. She would never have immortality, unless she found a loophole. She would never see any of them again. But she would save the world many times. She would be the Judge that none of them could be. She would be the one that could be a part of the people. She would be the one that was the chosen."

"Wait- What do you mean?" Aang asked. The woman sighed. She smiled at the tree and then looked at Aang.

"I am you," she said. "I am the one who started the Avatar cycle." Kala smiled as memories flooded her mind. She frowned at her last memories.

"Halima," she begged. "Help me. I can't stand this pain anymore."

Halima looked at her and cried. She cried on Kala's shoulder for ten minutes. When she finally gave up her tears, she looked at Kala.

"If I do what I have in mind, you won't remember any of us," she said. She was particularly noting Kala's relationship with Junius. Kala had just nodded as she felt the pain intensify. Halima looked solemn as she explained.

"There's a way to transfer your soul and make it be useful throughout eternity. You will be the Judge that none of us ever could be. You would be the one who would go through many lives and save millions. You will be the one who would be a part of the people. The only thing is that you will lose your current existence," she said and smiled sadly. "I will miss you, my friend. Always remember, they are a part of you, not you of them. You will always be a Judge." She put a hand on Kala's head and smiled sadly. Kala had just nodded. That was the last memory that she had.

She had slowly drifted off to a final sleep.

"She sacrificed everything for me," she said. She looked at Aang and then asked him, "So, why are you not back helping her?" Aang just shrugged his shoulders. She smiled at him and shook her head.

"Fine," she said. She looked around and found a long golden sword and its sheath. She wrapped it around her waist and it made her glow. She smiled at all of the past Avatars that appeared.

"You do not need me anymore," she said. She looked at the current Avatar, and smiled. "Thank you for showing me the light." She disappeared from the valley. Aang came awake and found that someone was holding him in the middle of the air. He looked and saw the pink dress. Kala smiled at him and teleported him to the air temple. She smiled down at him and wished him a good journey.

"The earthbender will treat you well," she said. He looked at her shocked. She smiled and went to help her friends.

Kamari and Kalila stood on the beach. Both didn't look at each other, just at the ocean. The water moving in and out told them how close Jack was to the island.

"We have to prepare for the fight ahead," Kalila said. Kamari just nodded. She kept her focus on the battle, and not what Kalila said. She was focusing on the moment she would have to deal the final blow to her ex-lover's heart. She thought of nothing else since she saw Halima. Seeing her old teacher was a wake up call. The last couple of thousand years have been lonely without her. She had always known what to say, even if she herself did not know that.

"Hey, sis, what are you going to do when this is all over?" Kalila asked Kamari. Kamari thought about it for a minute. She looked at Kalila and grinned.

"I'm going to get my fishing boat and go to the Northern Water Tribe," she said. "I need a break before I train the future Fire Lady's children to both fire and water bend at the same time."

"That sounds good," Kalila said. "I've got a private beach waiting for me in the Earth Kingdom."

"Set up your chakra," Kamari said to Kalila. "Your chakra has to be perfectly alligned for this attack to work." Kalila nodded. Kamari felt the ocean tremble. She looked up and saw a man lunge at her. She kicked the air and a huge wave went after him. The man easily dodged it. Kalila punched upward and the water flew. She sent sand up as well. The man dodged the water, but sand got in his eyes. Kamari didn't even take time to blink as she generated lightning. The lightning hit the man right in the chest. He went down onto the ground.

"That was too easy," Kalila said. Kamari nodded. Kalila bent down and examined the body. As soon as she touched it, it turned to water. She cursed heavily. "It was a water clone." Kamari sat in midair and grinned. Her eyes flashed when they looked at Kalila. Kalila gasped. All of her chakra gates were open.

That was Kamari's ability. She could handle any of the elements and she would combine them in martial art moves. She would just move and the elements would come. It was a honed instinct. Halima had brought it out severely in their training sessions. She had told Kamari to never let her full instincts loose. Halima had said that there would be a time that she had too, and she would be there to help clean up the mess. Halima had promised and when she gave her word, she kept it no matter what.

Kamari sighed and let everything go. She reached behind her and brought out her two machetes.

Gauri stood by Nitara. Both women had expressions of preparation written on their faces. They were surveying the southern village gate with apprehension. It was the weak spot in the village, so Nitara and Gauri decided to protect it. Gauri looked at Nitara.

"When this is over, we are buying a house on a beach and getting married," she said. Nitara laughed. Gauri looked at her and smiled tenderly. "You and I have got to stop being separated. It's time that we announced to everyone that we're a couple."

"They already know," Nitara said. Gauri looked at her questioningly. "Halima said that she approved of us a long time ago." Gauri's jaw dropped. "Besides, she wanted me to wait until she got back to ask you to marry me." Gauri blushed. She took Nitara's hand and smiled lovingly. They both became alert when they saw the rebel troops coming to the village.

"Nasira!" Nitara yelled. "They're starting to come!" Now, she touched the ground. Plants started springing up everywhere. Gauri earth bended and sent the plants at the soldiers. They both grinned and started fighting.

On the other side of the village, Lokesh was still cooking the soup. It was a little too spicy in his opinion, but that was how Xavier liked it. He smiled as he stirred it more. A soldier tried sneaking up on him, but Lokesh sent him flying with earth bending. He was humming to himself as he continued to add spices.

"Samuel," he said. "Watch your stance."

Samuel smiled as he shortened his fire shots and took out twice as many soldiers. His count was up to fifty when he looked at Nasira. She kept kicking fire into the faces of the soldiers. She grinned at him.

"I hate earthbenders," she said. He smiled and reached out for her. She jumped and he hurled her around in a circle. She did a fire spin and smiled when she landed. She put one foot to the ground and sand came up. She did a roundhouse kick and sent shards of glass everywhere. She smiled in happiness as the rest of the soldiers fell.

"There are more coming," Lokesh said. Nasira groaned and Samuel smiled in delight. Lokesh, being satisfied with the soup, tapped one finger on the ground. "But they'll be occupied for a while. Have some soup." Samuel just shook his head and brought out a very large ax. Nasira smiled and sat down to eat. She banged a fist against the ground and two long strips of cloth came up. She took her boots off and started wrapping her feet. She took the cloths and wrapped them around her whole right foot. She took another two cloths and did the same to her left foot. Lokesh grinned and tapped her foot.

"Keep it straight when you do your kicks," he said. "You use too much energy when you do your roundhouse kicks. Keep them light. The lighter the kick, the more the impact of fire." She nodded and looked at him. "Try doing a spin kick when you can touch the ground in an instant. That will bring more glass shards in your arsenal."

"Thank you, master," she said. He just nodded. He gave a bowl to her with a spoon. The bowl had soup in it. She smiled when she ate. He just nodded and then suddenly looked up.

Halima stood in front of a simple log cabin. She grinned and opened the door. A middle aged man stood in the middle of the room. There was a fireplace to the northern wall. There was a kitchen on the eastern side. Two beds on the western. The door was on the southern side. He had white hair and sparkling green eyes. Halima ran up and hugged him. He hugged her tightly.

"What do you need, my child?" he asked her. She drew away and pointed to the old map. He nodded in understanding. He smiled at her with sympathy.

"I cannot help you," he said. She dropped her gaze and he continued to explain. "It is not my place anymore. My duty to the Judges has been over a very long time. But, you will need the weapons."

"Father, why are you saying this?" she asked him. He just shook his head. She just shook her head and looked out the window. "I can't do this by myself."

"But you can," Junius said. She looked up and saw a young man with long brown hair and black eyes. "You always could. You led them without worry just a couple of days ago. Why can't you lead them now?"

"I don't know who is going to betray me," she said. Junius nodded in contemplation. Xavier looked at her.

"Foretelling is not your strong suit," he said. "Hone your instincts. Let them loose. You will find the answer." She shook her head.

"I can't let my instincts loose again," she said. "I just can't." She closed her eyes. Visions came over her and she gasped. She let everything go. Then, she knew.

When she awoke, her father pulled her up. He took her to the wall above the fireplace. He withdrew to long swords and handed them to her. She sheathed them and looked at him.

"You will do fine," he said. She nodded and looked at Junius. He had his bow around his waist and smiled.

"I'm going with you," he said. "I have to see the traitors and bring justice to the Judges." Halima nodded and looked at her father. He gave her one last piece of advice.

"Remember what the Elders taught you," he said. She nodded and then teleported to the island with Junius.

Lokesh held two bowls for when Halima and Junius appeared before him. Junius shook his head. Halima said, "Save it for later."

Junius smelled out both Abu and Amari. He smiled and went to join them. He was a great shot and even greater when it was from a distance. Halima unsheathed her swords and walked down to the beach. Lokesh sat on the ground, still eating soup. He sighed and found his staff. He whirled it around and created a huge gust of wind.

He smiled in pleasure. Today was going to be a good day for a battle.

Amari stood in one of the trees that overlooked the whole island. She closed her eyes and listened t everything on the island. She heard when Halima came down the path and waved up at them.

Abu saw everything. He was watching the fighting going on in the village and at the beach. He strung his bow just in case it was needed in the battle. Amari smiled and spoke to him.

"What are we going to do after this?" she asked him. He shrugged.

"Go back to the Southern Water Tribe," he said. She nodded. "It's time to go home." She nodded. They both welcomed Junius into the group.

"Hey," Abu said. "Now we have the whole tracking team back together. We've got the eyes, ears and nose." Abu could see anything at any distance. Amari could hear anything. Junius could smell out anything in the real world, or the spirit world.

"What was the deal with Halima and Kala, anyways?" Amari asked Junius. Junius sighed.

"Halima had thought that Kala was sick. So, Halima being Halima, she put Kala to sleep in order to alleviate the pain. She didn't know that Kala was in love with Lokesh. Lokesh, as we all know, only had eyes for Halima," he said. "That's what started Sonia. In her mind, if Kala couldn't have Lokesh, then no woman should. That's why she gave him the scar."

"Poor Halima," Abu commented. Amari nodded.

"At least Kala has done good things as the Avatar. She is the core of the Avatar, isn't she?" she asked Junius. Junius shook his head.

"She was more like the start up battery," he said. Amari nodded. Abu smirked.

"Hey, Junius," Abu said. "You want to come with us to the Southern Pole when we're done?"

"I would like that," Junius said. Amari blushed.

Halima brought the swords in front of her in a triangle. She slashed them down to her sides. There was a tornado that headed to the beach. All of the clones were instantly destroyed. She took one of the swords and slashed it on the ground. The earth shook. Halima smiled in anticipation. She went toward the beach and saw both Zuko and Katara fighting random rebel soldiers that were scouting. She smiled and put her swords back. She took one hand and waved it away from her body softly. A breeze went and paralyzed the enemy for a brief second. She kicked the ground with her foot and the ground where the soldiers stood shook.

She then went and came right up behind them. She knocked two out and Katara and Zuko handled the rest. She smiled softly and touched both of their shoulders.

"You have to get to safety," she said. She looked at one of the smaller islands. "The island over there is safe. That's where you'll go. Tell your brother and his girl that everything will be fine." She was finished and teleported them to the island that she indicated. She didn't need them here when she unleashed all of her power.

Katara cried out when she appeared on the other island. It didn't matter that all of the villagers were there. It didn't matter that Zuko was right next to her. She was furious that she couldn't help with the fight. She looked at Zuko, but he had his mouth open in amazement. She looked at where he was looking and paled.

Sokka was shaved and smiling, and was looking into blue eyes that caressed his with happiness. He was smiling in happiness. Long white hair accented the girl's face.

"Yue," Katara said. She felt tears coming down her cheeks. "How?" Yue smiled as her friend touched her face.

"Kamari," she said. "Kamari knew that I was anxious about Sokka. She knew that the moon spirit owed her a favor."

Sokka was looking at her with suck love that Katara shut up and hugged Zuko tightly.

Kamari was battling Jack when Halima came down to the beach. She looked at Kalila, who was busy battling most of the clones. Halima watched as Kamari blended her moves together. Every kick brought up salt water into Jack's face. Every punch brought fire into his chest. She was only using the two elements she was really comfortable with. Kalila was twisting her body so that she could earth bend and water bend at the same time. She had really mastered her ability and was pronouncing it herself. Halima felt a presence behind her and turned. She gasped in surprise.

"So, tell me," Sonia said. She turned to Kala. "I guess that she wasn't expecting this." Halima shook her head.

"How long?" she asked. Before Kala could answer, Halima answered. "That night that Lokesh told me that he was going to leave me." She looked at Kala and shook her head sadly.

"I love him," Kala said. "He and I were supposed to spend an eternity together." Halima felt one tear go down her cheek.

"That's why you came to me that night. That's why you told me you were sick. You told me that you were heartbroken," she said. She shook her head in disbelief. She couldn't believe how stupid she had been. She looked at Sonia. "You were the one who gave him the scar." Sonia smiled.

"If she couldn't have him, then you couldn't either," she said. She smiled menacingly. "I was supposed to be the head of the Judges, not you. You always got ahead of everyone. You were Xavier's daughter. Everyone looked up to you. The Elders talked to you privately. No one could talk to them at all, and you were talking to them privately. That was unfair on all accounts." Halima sighed.

"Look, you don't have to involve the others," Halima said. "I'm here. You can do whatever you want." She looked out at the beach. "Let them go."

"Of course, you want your apprentices to have a break. But, I think Kamari should join us," Sonia said. Halima put one hand up.

"Kamari has nothing to do with you and me," she said. "Kamari is left out of this." She frowned at Sonia. Sonia smiled evilly as Lokesh came to stand by Halima. She looked up at him and they had a silent conversation.

Everyone's evacuated, his look told her. She nodded, and he continued. I'm sorry that everything didn't work out.

It's all right, she replied. He nodded and looked at her more intently. She shook her head.

I'm not going to forgive you for this that easily, she said.

"That house that you were looking at," he said. "It's ours after this." She nodded and looked at Kala. Kala was looking at Lokesh mournfully.

"You told me that you would wait for me," she said. Lokesh looked at her confused.

"I wasn't talking to you when I said that. Halima was standing right next to you," he said. He looked at Kala intensely. "You're the reason why she had to run. You were the reason why the Elders turned her into a powerless immortal." He started to advance on her to hit her, but Halima held her hand out. She stopped him and turned to her father who had suddenly appeared.

"The two that have been impersonating as Judges are here," she said tonelessly. Xavier nodded and came up to Kala and Sonia. He smiled at them both.

"I have need of two servants," he said. "Come." They both obeyed unwillingly. Halima sighed and Lokesh brought her into his arms.

"Leave the meddling for the mortals," he said. She smiled and nodded. Halima kept her face near his chest and just sighed in relief.

"Are we done fighting?" she asked. Lokesh nodded and hugged her tighter to him.

Four years later, Katara and Zuko were in the private garden talking. Her belly was round with their third child. Every couple of minutes, Zuko would run his hand over her belly. He would do that just to make sure that everything was fine. Katara had had complications with the second child. He made her as comfortable as she could stand with this one. She wasn't allowed to do anything that was out of proportion for him. If he thought that it was strenuous, he would demand to do it himself. He would smile at her and just start doing random chores around their rooms. He would never allow her to bend over. He would never allow her to carry more than ten pounds. If she did, he would find out somehow.

"Can you believe that it's been four years?" she asked him. He shook his head. Their first child, Kami, was sitting under the huge willow tree. Beside him, Halima stood tending to her old friend. She would hum and the tree would dance to her tune. Lokesh would smile quietly and lean against the trunk. Halima had a slightly plump frame now. She was only two months pregnant, but she was ready to have a child. She had laughed when Katara had asked if it was her first.

"No," Lokesh had said. "The twins were our first." Katara's jaw had dropped. Halima had hummed to herself and had let Kami come up on her shoulders. Their son was already learning how to water bend. He was starting fire bending, but Lokesh was easing him into it. Lokesh had smiled and told Zuko that the kid had talent, he just had to learn one first. The second one learned was normally the stronger.

Aang had forgiven them. He was consumed with the rebuilding of the air temples and of the monks. He and Toph were seeing each other. It was getting serious, but Toph wasn't going to rush anything. Sokka was having the time of his life. He was with the Northern Water Tribe now. He and Yue had everyone on their feet when they came walking into the village. He had married her within those two weeks. He now had three children, a fourth on the way. Zuko always teased him.

"I know what you're doing the majority of the time," he would say. Sokka would look at him and then reply, "Yeah, well, I'm not the one who almost got killed by the Avatar." Katara would laugh. Zuko would glower for an hour. Life was good. Every now and again, Katara and Zuko would have fights. They would argue, both being the stubborn ones that they were, and then apologize to each other. She never allowed his temper in the house. If he even started to loose it, she would tell him where to put it. He would never allow her to mother him. They made the perfect couple. Sometimes it scared her that she felt comfortable with him.

They had their hands full. Everything was going so well, that Katara wanted to cry half the time. Halima would smile and say that there would always be good times.

As usual, she was right. Katara had Zuko by her side. That was all that she needed.

Halima looked at Lokesh and smiled.

"We did well, didn't we?" she asked. He nodded and hugged her from behind.

"I wonder what our next descendants will be like," he said. She smiled and looked at Katara. She smiled.

"She definitely takes after her mother's side of the family," she said. Lokesh laughed.

"Well, being our descendant, she should," he said. She nodded and then looked at Zuko.

"He looks exactly like Samuel once did," she said. He laughed softly.

"That wouldn't be the thing to say to Samuel," he said and kissed her on the cheek. She looked thoughtful for one minute, and then a huge grin crossed her face. He nodded.

The next couple of years were going to be fun, Halima had the feeling.

A/N: Yeah, not much Zutara action, but I had to get this long story out. That's it for this one. It's done. It's finished. Well, what did you think of the super long chapter?

Thank you for reading this, I hope that you enjoyed the story. It was a pleasure to write.

Until next time
