Rain lashes against the airship's hull as Katara screams over the gale, gripping Aang’s arm. "Turn back!" Aang’s eyes are desperate, pleading. "This staff brings my people back." "No, you don’t understand!" Aang’s voice cuts through the storm, raw with pain. "This is the only chance!" Katara flinches, hurt echoing her own loss. Inside, chaos reigns. Zuko fires at the balloon, Toph metal-bends frantically, while Sokka finishes a rambling speech with a weak smile. "Pull the lever, now!" Zuko roars. Sokka yanks it. The ship shudders upward. "Katara?!" Sokka yells, spotting her at the bow, water-bending a path through the raging sea.
