1. Water...
Copy !req
2. Earth...
Copy !req
3. Fire...
Copy !req
4. Air.
Copy !req
5. Long ago, the four nations
lived together in harmony.
Copy !req
6. Then everything changed
when the Fire Nation attacked.
Copy !req
7. Only the Avatar,
master of all four elements,
Copy !req
8. could stop them.
Copy !req
9. But when the world
needed him most,
Copy !req
10. he vanished.
Copy !req
11. 100 years passed,
Copy !req
12. and my brother and I
discovered the new Avatar―
Copy !req
13. An airbender named Aang.
Copy !req
14. And although his airbending
skills are great,
Copy !req
15. he has a lot to learn before
he's ready to save anyone.
Copy !req
16. Oof.
Copy !req
17. But I believe Aang
can save the world.
Copy !req
18. I discovered a hidden library.
Copy !req
19. I tore through
scroll after scroll.
Copy !req
20. You did it!
Copy !req
21. You're an earthbender.
Copy !req
22. Sozin's Comet will return
by the end of the summer.
Copy !req
23. And Fire Lord Ozai will use
its power to finish the war
Copy !req
24. once and for all.
Copy !req
25. You must defeat the Fire Lord
Copy !req
26. before the comet arrives.
Copy !req
27. What's out here?
Copy !req
28. A lot, actually.
There's hundreds of little―
Copy !req
29. Shh! I know you
can see underground,
Copy !req
30. but don't ruin the surprise.
Copy !req
31. Just watch.
Copy !req
32. Ha ha! Yeah!
Copy !req
33. I'm putting
an orchestra together.
Copy !req
34. Orchestra, huh? Well...
Copy !req
35. This is great and all,
Copy !req
36. But don't we have more important things
to worry about?
Copy !req
37. We should be making plans.
Copy !req
38. We did make plans.
Copy !req
39. We're all picking mini-vacations.
Copy !req
40. There's no time for vacations.
Copy !req
41. I'm learning the elements
as fast as I can.
Copy !req
42. I practice hard every day
with Toph and Katara.
Copy !req
43. I've been training
my arrow off.
Copy !req
44. Yeah. What's wrong with having a little
fun in our downtime?
Copy !req
45. Even if you do master all of
the elements, then what?
Copy !req
46. It's not like we have
a map of the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
47. Should we just head west
until we reach the Fire Lord's house?
Copy !req
48. Knock, knock! Hello, Fire Lord!
Anybody home?
Copy !req
49. I don't think so.
Copy !req
50. We need some intelligence
if we're gonna win this war.
Copy !req
51. Hee hee! All right.
We'll finish our vacations.
Copy !req
52. And then we'll look
for Sokka's intelligence.
Copy !req
53. Your turn, Katara.
Copy !req
54. Where would you
like to go on your mini-vacation?
Copy !req
55. How about
the Misty Palms Oasis?
Copy !req
56. That sounds refreshing.
Copy !req
57. Oh, yeah, I've been there.
It's a pristine natural ice spring.
Copy !req
58. And I don't usually
use the word "pristine."
Copy !req
59. It's one of
nature's wonders.
Copy !req
60. Must have changed
ownership since I was here.
Copy !req
61. Heh heh.
Copy !req
62. Ptooey!
Copy !req
63. One mango, please.
Copy !req
64. I don't see anything wrong
Copy !req
65. with having one of those
fruity beverages
Copy !req
66. while we plan our strategy.
Copy !req
67. Excuse me.
Copy !req
68. No worries. I clean up easy.
Copy !req
69. You're a living relic.
Copy !req
70. Thanks. I try.
Copy !req
71. An Air Nomad right front of me.
Copy !req
72. Professor Zei,
head of anthropology
Copy !req
73. at Ba Sing Se University.
Copy !req
74. Tell me...
Copy !req
75. Which of the air temples
do you hail from?
Copy !req
76. The Southern Temple.
Copy !req
77. Oh, splendid! Now, tell me,
Copy !req
78. what was the primary
agricultural product of your people?
Copy !req
79. Uh, are fruit pies
an agricultural product?
Copy !req
80. Oh! Truly fascinating.
That's one for the journal.
Copy !req
81. So, professor,
you're obviously a well-traveled guy.
Copy !req
82. Do you have a more
current map?
Copy !req
83. Ours seems to be
a little dated.
Copy !req
84. Certainly.
Copy !req
85. What? No Fire Nation?
Copy !req
86. Doesn't anybody have
a good map of that place?
Copy !req
87. You've made a lot
of trips into the desert.
Copy !req
88. All in vain, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
89. I've found lost civilizations
all over the Earth Kingdom,
Copy !req
90. but I haven't managed to find
the crown jewel―
Copy !req
91. Wan Shi Tong's library.
Copy !req
92. You've spent years
walking through the desert to find
Copy !req
93. some guy's library?
Copy !req
94. This library is more valuable
than gold, little lady.
Copy !req
95. It is said to contain a vast collection
of knowledge.
Copy !req
96. And knowledge...
Copy !req
97. Is priceless.
Copy !req
98. Hmm. Sounds like good times.
Copy !req
99. Oh, it is. According to legend,
Copy !req
100. It was built by the great knowledge spirit
Copy !req
101. Wan Shi Tong with the help
of his foxy knowledge seekers.
Copy !req
102. Oh, so this spirit
has attractive assistants, huh?
Copy !req
103. I think he means
they look like actual foxes, Sokka.
Copy !req
104. You're both right.
Copy !req
105. Handsome little creatures.
Copy !req
106. Wan Shi Tong and his knowledge seekers
Copy !req
107. collected books from all over the world
Copy !req
108. and put them on display
for mankind to read
Copy !req
109. so that we might better ourselves.
Copy !req
110. If this place has books
from all over the world,
Copy !req
111. do you think they've got
info on the Fire Nation? A map maybe?
Copy !req
112. I wouldn't know.
Copy !req
113. But if such a thing exists,
Copy !req
114. it's in Wan Shi Tong's library.
Copy !req
115. Then it's settled. Aang,
I do believe it's my turn.
Copy !req
116. I'd like to spend my vacation
at the library!
Copy !req
117. Uh, hey, what about me?
When do I get to pick?
Copy !req
118. You've got to work
here a little longer
Copy !req
119. before you're qualified
for vacation time.
Copy !req
120. Hmph.
Copy !req
121. Of course, there's the matter
of finding it.
Copy !req
122. I've made several trips
into the Zi Huang desert
Copy !req
123. and almost died each time.
Copy !req
124. I'm afraid that desert's
impossible to cross.
Copy !req
125. Professor, would you like to see
our sky bison?
Copy !req
126. A sky bison? You actually have one?
Copy !req
127. Sandbenders, shoo!
Away from the bison!
Copy !req
128. Tell me, sky bison,
are you the last of your breed?
Copy !req
129. Oh, delightful! I only wish
I spoke his tongue.
Copy !req
130. Oh, the stories this beast could tell.
Copy !req
131. Shush, chatty monkey.
Copy !req
132. Wow. It shouldn't be too hard
Copy !req
133. to find a place like this out here.
Copy !req
134. Ah! Does this place even exist?
Copy !req
135. Some say it doesn't.
Copy !req
136. Shouldn't you have mentioned that before?
Copy !req
137. Grr!
Copy !req
138. There it is!
Copy !req
139. That's what it will sound like
when one of you spots it.
Copy !req
140. It shouldn't be this hard to spot
a giant ornate building from the air.
Copy !req
141. Down there. What's that?
Copy !req
142. Forget it. It's obviously not
what we're looking for.
Copy !req
143. The building in this
drawing is enormous.
Copy !req
144. What kind of animal is that?
Copy !req
145. I think that was one
of the knowledge seekers.
Copy !req
146. Oh, we must be close to the library.
Copy !req
147. No. This is the library. Look!
Copy !req
148. It's completely buried.
Copy !req
149. The library is buried?
Copy !req
150. My life's ambition is now full of sand.
Copy !req
151. Well, time to start excavating.
Copy !req
152. Actually, that won't
be necessary.
Copy !req
153. The inside seems to be completely intact.
Copy !req
154. And it's huge.
Copy !req
155. That fox thingy
went in through a window.
Copy !req
156. I say we climb up there
and give it a look.
Copy !req
157. I say you guys
go ahead without me.
Copy !req
158. You've got something
against libraries?
Copy !req
159. I've held books before.
Copy !req
160. And I got to tell you,
Copy !req
161. they don't exactly do it for me.
Copy !req
162. Oh, right. Sorry.
Copy !req
163. Let me know if they have
something you can listen to.
Copy !req
164. Don't worry, buddy. I'm not making you
go underground ever again.
Copy !req
165. You can stay out here with Toph.
Copy !req
166. What's up?
Copy !req
167. Oh, it's breathtaking.
Copy !req
168. The spirit spared no expense
in designing this place.
Copy !req
169. Look at those beautiful buttresses.
Copy !req
170. - Hee hee!
- Hee hee!
Copy !req
171. What's funny?
Copy !req
172. Nothing. We just like architecture.
Copy !req
173. As do I.
Copy !req
174. My word!
Copy !req
175. The exquisite mosaic handiwork
of this tile-rendered avian symbol―
Copy !req
176. Eh, nice owl.
Copy !req
177. I know you're
back there.
Copy !req
178. Hello!
Copy !req
179. I'm Professor Zei, head of anthropology
Copy !req
180. at Ba Sing Se University.
Copy !req
181. You should leave
the way you came
Copy !req
182. Unless you want
to become a stuffed head of anthropology.
Copy !req
183. Are you the spirit who brought
this library to the physical world?
Copy !req
184. Indeed. I am Wan Shi Tong,
he who knows 10,000 things.
Copy !req
185. And you are obviously humans,
Copy !req
186. Which, by the way,
are no longer permitted in my study.
Copy !req
187. What do you have against humans?
Copy !req
188. Hmm. Humans only bother learning things
Copy !req
189. to get the edge on other humans,
Copy !req
190. Like that firebender who came
to this place a few years ago,
Copy !req
191. looking to destroy his enemy.
Copy !req
192. So who are you trying to destroy?
Copy !req
193. What? No, no, no destroying.
We're not into that.
Copy !req
194. Then why have you come here?
Copy !req
195. Um, knowledge for knowledge's sake.
Copy !req
196. If you're going to lie
to an all-knowing spirit being,
Copy !req
197. you should at least
put some effort into it.
Copy !req
198. I'm not lying! I'm here with the Avatar,
Copy !req
199. And he's the bridge between our worlds.
He'll vouch for me.
Copy !req
200. Ow!
Copy !req
201. Uh, yeah. I'll vouch.
Copy !req
202. We will not abuse the knowledge
in your library, good spirit.
Copy !req
203. You have my word.
Copy !req
204. Hmm. Very well.
I'll let you peruse my vast collection
Copy !req
205. on one condition―
Copy !req
206. To prove your worth as scholars,
Copy !req
207. you have to contribute
some worthwhile knowledge.
Copy !req
208. Please accept this tome
as a donation to your library.
Copy !req
209. First edition. Very nice.
Copy !req
210. I have an authentic waterbending scroll.
Copy !req
211. Oh, these illustrations are quite stylish.
Copy !req
212. Uh, oh! I know.
Copy !req
213. Ha!
Copy !req
214. I suppose that counts.
Copy !req
215. Oh, great spirit, check this out.
Copy !req
216. Ta-da!
Copy !req
217. It's a special knot.
Copy !req
218. That counts as knowledge.
Copy !req
219. You're not very bright, are you?
Copy !req
220. Enjoy the library.
Copy !req
221. Bright enough to fool you.
Copy !req
222. So, do you like flying?
Copy !req
223. Of course, I'm more comfortable
on the ground where I can see.
Copy !req
224. Well, I don't see the way you do.
Copy !req
225. I feel the vibrations in the ground
with my feet.
Copy !req
226. But this sand is
so loose and shifty,
Copy !req
227. It makes everything look fuzzy.
Copy !req
228. Not that there's
anything wrong with fuzzy.
Copy !req
229. Hey! Look at these
weird lion-turtle things.
Copy !req
230. Ah, I've seen weirder.
Copy !req
231. Aang, did you know in a past life,
you were left-handed?
Copy !req
232. I always knew I was special.
Copy !req
233. "The darkest day in Fire Nation history."
Copy !req
234. It's got a date at the top,
Copy !req
235. but it doesn't say anything else.
Copy !req
236. Sokka, where are you going?
Copy !req
237. I want to know what happened
to the Fire Nation on their darkest day.
Copy !req
238. This could be promising.
Copy !req
239. The information on the Fire Nation
should be right up here.
Copy !req
240. Firebenders.
Copy !req
241. They destroyed everything
having to do with the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
242. That's so unfair!
Copy !req
243. Just when I think
I'm one step ahead of the Fire Nation,
Copy !req
244. it turns out they beat us here
a long time ago.
Copy !req
245. I need to know what happened
on the darkest day.
Copy !req
246. Hello, little weird fox guy.
Copy !req
247. It seems it's trying to assist you.
Copy !req
248. Um, sure. I guess I'll follow you.
Copy !req
249. This room is a true marvel,
a mechanical wonder.
Copy !req
250. It's a planetarium
that shows the heavens moving.
Copy !req
251. This is beautiful,
but how is it helpful?
Copy !req
252. Maybe these dials
represent dates and times.
Copy !req
253. Sokka, try entering that date
from that parchment you took.
Copy !req
254. Shh! Katara, not in front of the fox.
He's with the owl.
Copy !req
255. Wow! I got to hand it to you, Sokka,
Copy !req
256. You picked
the best mini-vacation for sure.
Copy !req
257. Hey, wait.
What happened to the sun?
Copy !req
258. Great. You must have broken it.
Copy !req
259. It's not broken.
Copy !req
260. The sun is behind the moon.
It's a solar eclipse.
Copy !req
261. It's literally the darkest day
in Fire Nation history.
Copy !req
262. Now I get it.
Something awful happened on that day.
Copy !req
263. I don't know what, but I do know why.
Copy !req
264. Firebenders lose their bending
during a solar eclipse.
Copy !req
265. Sorry.
Copy !req
266. That makes sense.
Copy !req
267. I mean, think of what the lunar eclipse
at the North Pole
Copy !req
268. did to the waterbenders.
Copy !req
269. This is huge.
Copy !req
270. Fine. You earned it.
Copy !req
271. We've got to get this information
to the Earth King at Ba Sing Se.
Copy !req
272. We'll wait for the next eclipse.
Copy !req
273. Then we'll invade the Fire Nation
when they're totally helpless.
Copy !req
274. The Fire Lord is going down!
Copy !req
275. Mortals are so predictable
Copy !req
276. and such terrible liars.
Copy !req
277. You betrayed my trust.
Copy !req
278. From the beginning,
you intended to misuse this knowledge
Copy !req
279. for evil purposes.
Copy !req
280. You don't understand.
If anyone's evil, it's the Fire Nation.
Copy !req
281. You saw what they did to your library.
Copy !req
282. They're destructive and dangerous.
Copy !req
283. We need this information.
Copy !req
284. You think you're the first person
to believe their war was justified?
Copy !req
285. Countless others before
you have come here,
Copy !req
286. seeking weapons
or weaknesses or battle strategies.
Copy !req
287. We had no choice.
Please. We're just desperate to protect
Copy !req
288. the people we love.
Copy !req
289. And now I am going
to protect what I love.
Copy !req
290. What are you doing?
Copy !req
291. I'm taking my knowledge back.
No one will ever abuse it again.
Copy !req
292. He's sinking the building.
We've got to get out of here!
Copy !req
293. I'm afraid I can't allow that.
You already know too much.
Copy !req
294. - Aah!
- Aah!
Copy !req
295. I already told you.
I don't want to snuggle.
Copy !req
296. Library's sinking.
Library's sinking!
Copy !req
297. Hyah!
Copy !req
298. Aah!
Copy !req
299. Great knowledge spirit, I beg you,
Copy !req
300. do not destroy your vast collection
of priceless tomes.
Copy !req
301. Aah!
Copy !req
302. We've got to get back to the surface.
Copy !req
303. Sokka, let's go.
Copy !req
304. But we still don't know
when the next eclipse is gonna happen.
Copy !req
305. Don't be stupid.
We'll find out later.
Copy !req
306. No, we won't.
If we leave this place,
Copy !req
307. we'll never get the information.
Copy !req
308. Aang, come with me
to the planetarium. I need cover.
Copy !req
309. Katara, take Momo and get out of here.
Copy !req
310. But―
Copy !req
311. Go!
Copy !req
312. Hurry, Sokka!
Copy !req
313. What is it now?
Copy !req
314. Who is there?
Copy !req
315. Why are we doing this?
Copy !req
316. Because if this calendar can tell us
about eclipses in the past,
Copy !req
317. then maybe it can project
when the next one will be.
Copy !req
318. You can't possibly
check every single date.
Copy !req
319. I don't have to.
We just need to check
Copy !req
320. every date before Sozin's Comet arrives,
Copy !req
321. because after that,
well, try not to think about that.
Copy !req
322. Come on, eclipse!
Copy !req
323. That's it― The solar eclipse.
Copy !req
324. It's just a few months away.
Copy !req
325. Got it! Now let's get to Ba Sing Se.
Copy !req
326. Don't make me put this down.
Copy !req
327. No! Stop sinking!
Copy !req
328. No!
Copy !req
329. I'm sorry, Appa.
Copy !req
330. At least I'll have one specimen
to add to my collection.
Copy !req
331. Aah!
Copy !req
332. Your waterbending
won't do you much good here.
Copy !req
333. I've studied northern water style,
southern water style,
Copy !req
334. even foggy swamp style.
Copy !req
335. Hyah!
Copy !req
336. That's called Sokka style. Learn it.
Copy !req
337. Wait! Professor, let's go.
Copy !req
338. I'm not leaving. I can't.
Copy !req
339. I've spent too long
trying to find this place.
Copy !req
340. There's not
another collection of knowledge
Copy !req
341. like this on earth.
Copy !req
342. I could spend an eternity in here.
Copy !req
343. Just go!
Copy !req
344. We got it.
There's a solar eclipse coming.
Copy !req
345. The Fire Nation's in trouble now.
Copy !req
346. Where's Appa?
Copy !req
