Chapter 449: Years Went By
Chapter 449: Years Went By
The party was wild last night. Ragnarok even did a fire show after getting too drunk. Iroh now had a huge following of spiritualists who were inspired by his words. Alexander decided to set up a radio connection around the world and with music and news, there will be a spiritual channel on which Iroh and the Avatar will share their words. It would mostly be Iroh though. He would be interviewing many people.
So, the world's first podcast was made.
Currently, they were headed to the prison where Ozai was kept. With him were Iroh, Zuko, Azula, and Ursa.
"What will his punishment be, Alex?" Iroh asked.
"Ugh... According to his crimes recorded by overseers from the Spirit Realm. His soul will forever be sealed within hell and tortured for eternity. He has killed and damaged millions of people around the world.
"Normally, a soul would get reincarnated and restart the cycle of life. Of course, it isn't like the Avatar. Normal souls don't remember their past lives.
"There is also a rare amount that goes to the Spirit Realm to live. Of course, there are other ways to go there too. It's a big system of things." He explained.
"It is so complex," Zuko exclaimed.
"That is why achieving peace of heart and soul is so hard," Alexander added.
After a bit more traveling they reached the place. It was a heavily fortified prison on an island.The cell door opened and they entered. There he was, Ozai sitting, facing them. He still had a smirk.
"Look how shameless he is. Still smiling." Alexander muttered.
"Welcome back, Ursa. Must have been tough hiding all this time." Ozai said, trying to irritate Ursa.
"No, not really. I met the mother of faces and she removed my memories and gave me a new face. I lived all these years with Ikem. We even have a daughter together. It was you who was madly trying to create problems for me when I didn't even remember you and what you have done didn't affect me in any way." Ursa sternly replied. The smile from Ozai's face vanished.
"Hah, who's the fool now?" Alexander taunted him.
"But I had Ikem get killed." Ozai blurted.
"Sometimes things don't always go as you planned. I am ashamed of being your brother, Ozai. You disgraced the Fire Nation." Iroh spoke plainly.
"Father, you actively tried to punish me for something that wasn't real. Just to incite mother. Then going as far as even burning my face. You are a sick man." Zuko emotionlessly said.
Then Azula spoke, "Yeah, I don't have a particular reason. I just don't like you. You tried to use me as your pawn and I hated that. I longed for your attention and acceptance but you always pushed me away. I don't care about you anymore."
"Then why have you all even come here?" Ozai questioned.
Ursa gave him the answer, "We came here to tell you that we're are moving on now. For us, you don't exist. From now on none of us will come to meet you. You can die in this cell, thinking about us happily living as a family. With my children and husband."
Her last words made him completely mad, "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT? YOU ARE MY PROPERTY. I OWN YOU. DID YOU FORGET MY WORDS? I...OWN...YOU!"
*BAM*
"Sit down and shut your mouth. The only one whose going to be someone's property will be you. For your crimes against humanity and Spirits, you are sentenced to eternal hell. Enjoy."
Alexander announced. But like many other villains, Ozai didn't deserve a peaceful physical death.
Ozai was supposed to be extremely power-hungry and possessive. So, as his time torture. In his mind, he would see his wife Ursa truly cheating on him, and when he catches her, he gets killed by Ikem who then becomes the fire lord. This will go on for a while.
In another situation, he would lose the Agni Kai to Zuko. Then in another one, he would never become the Fire Lord because Iroh takes over, and finally, he gets killed by baby Aang again and again.
There was also one in which he gets killed by the cabbage seller. It was true torture for him.
Then, as he was raging, Alexander snapped his fingers. Disintegrating him into nothingness. What was left was a translucent figure of Ozai hovering. Alexander then sent the soul to hell. Doing this immediately increased world purity by a big 5 percent. Making it 84% now.
"I hope you all won't hold a grudge against me for punishing him," Alexander said.
"No, why would we ever do that? What you did was the best-case scenario." Iroh immediately clarified.
They then went back to the palace and got busy in repairing the world.
Before Alexander left for the Earth Kingdom, he met Zuko and just told him one thing.
"It's okay to fall down and lose a spark, you just need to make sure that when you get back up, you rise as the whole fire. Zuko, you are a whole fire now, so, never waver and always strive for good. You have the greatest teacher in the world to advise you. Though he would ask for some tea as payment but I think the fire lord can manage, haha..." Alexander advised him and patted his shoulder.
Zuko suddenly hugged him. "Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you. I never had a loving grandfather. I always wondered how it must be to have nice grandparents as I heard from my friends. Now I know.
"If it weren't for you. I don't know what would have happened to me and this world."
Alexander ruffled his hair, "I think you would've managed. I always had that much trust in you, since day one on that ship."
Zuko remembered when he had tried to imprison Alexander and Dobby. He smiled remembering those days.
...
Year 153 AG
It has been 53 years since the end of the war. To make sure he doesn't miss the growing up of his beloved grandson due to work, he used the time control feature of his pocket dimension and made it so that every twenty years outside were just one year in Phixheim. So, currently, Ajax was 2.5 years old. He had started speaking and walking. His strength had also increased many times, giving competition to even base-level Ragnarok. Though he still had the curiosity of a child. Thankfully, he was not as crazily smart as Leonidas was when he was this old.
The world had entered an era of exponential growth and prosperity. Alexander indirectly ruled the world with a firm grip. Not letting any bad elements rise up. For example, there was an attempt to dethrone Zuko in the fire kingdom. There was also an attempt by the Southern Water Tribe to eradicate any foreign presence there.
But Alexander didn't always help the world directly. He had created a joint peace force with soldiers from all nations. Their job was to keep any unstable and extremist elements in check. They had a compulsory promotion, transfer, and retirement system so that no one can gain too much power in the organization. There were also auditors present from all four kingdoms keeping an eye on the force.
It was a successful endeavor as all international problems were solved by them.
A new fifth nation was established called the Republic city. It was, as the name suggested, a republic where anyone could live. It had an elected main leader and also four council members elected from respective nations. Alexander was again hailed as the Grandpa of the world and his statues were more common than Air Nomads, who rarely left their temples.
Alexander had kept his contacts with the big team avatar and all other people he knew.
Now, Zuko had a very cute daughter who used to love dressing like the spirit god and acting like him. She eventually grew up to be a peace-loving and smart lady. She was all set to take the position of Fire Lord in a few years.
Toph had met two random guys one after another and had two lovely daughters. But they separated soon after. He had to meddle in so their familial ties don't get strained. Even Amy spent years with Toph and her daughters as Toph wasn't known to be very empathic. Now, they were a close family and owned their own city made of metal. Toph had taught a lot of earth benders metal bending.
Sokka was still going through his debauchery phase and had not settled down. He and Suki were still couples but now they had a tacit understanding. Still, Sokka found some death threats every now and then. For breaking the promise to princess Yue, he was banned from the Northern Water tribe, whose Leader was Yue. She was angry and had decided she would kill Sokka the moment she saw him. Alexander didn't save him this time.
And finally, Aang and Katara had married each other when they were 24 and 26 respectively. They had three children over the years. The naughty and eldest Bumi. Named after the late king of Omashu, Bumi. But unlike King Bumi, this Bumi was a non bender. Then there was Kay, the second child, and daughter. She was a water bender. Then finally the youngest, Tenzin. He was a serious-minded Airbender.
Alexander had to teach Aang how to be a father because he found out he wasn't treating his kids equally as he favored Tenzin more unknowingly due to him being an Airbender. The Airbender population was thriving but Aang wanted Tenzin to be the best and lead them. But in the end, he learned and spent amazing days with his three children.
