The Previous Plots:YAFO - Years After the Fall of Ozai
Prior to the First Plot - The Fall of Ozai, The Great Expansion - 0 YAFO to 400 YAFO
The world after Fire Lord Ozai was peaceful and prosperous, and remained so for several hundred years. 400 years of peace was spent rebuilding and picking up the pieces, and the Fire Nation redeemed themselves with a long line of good, and generous kings from the line of Zuko. New lands were discovered and populated, and those new lands grew into new nations and kingdoms (Elemental Kingdom, Sun Nation, Tengu Island). New kingdoms inhabited by benders who bended the elements of Light and Dark were discovered (The Light Kingdom and Dark Nation) and the all the world became one of peace and prosperity.
The First Plot - Invasion of the Dark Nation - 400 YAFO to 420 YAFO
Unfortunately, the peace was not to last, and the Dark Nation--a nation entirely made of Dark Benders--began to release massive armies and war machines, ones that could destroy the world and bind each nation to it's will. The Dark Nation began to invade neighbouring nations and Kingdoms and began their dark campaign to take over the world. The Dark Nation easily conquered the Light Kingdom, nearly wiping all of the Light Benders off the face of the earth for good--though a few managed to escape to the safety of Ba Sing Se. All of the Nations stood agains the Dark Nation, all of them united under the leadership of Fire Lord Honno-ji--grand father of future Fire Lord, Fire Lord Kouzai I. Honno-ji united the other nations armies against the Dark Nation, but unfortunately, his strong leadership was not to last. After his son, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Nobura, and his daughter-in-law, Princess Iwa-jima, were killed when their boat was destroyed and smashed to pieces by the Dark Nation Navy, Honno-ji sank into a small depression. Though he was still very--if not more--determined to destroy the Dark Nation armies, though his plans became more reckless and wild and his winning streak began to decline. Things took a turn for the worst when an entire Dark Nation Assissination Force, led by Lord Ibu of the Dark Nation, stormed the Fire Nation Capitol, broke into the palace, and assassinated the Fire Lord in his sleep. The rest of the royal family fled by morning--after quickly burying the Fire Lord--and the recently Crown Prince Kouzai--son of Nobura and grandson of Honno-ji--became acting Fire Lord in his family's stead. The group escaped to the safety of Sozin's Island, where they hid in the confines of the Hall of Fire Lords, hoping to hide and command their armies and country in secrecy until Ibu and his Dark Bender armies fell. Unfortunately this was not to be, the enchantments that were placed around Sozin's Island to protect it from intruders were broken, and Ibu and his armies stormed the beach and the Hall of Fire Lords and slaughtered the entire Royal Family. This marked the end of Fire Nation participation in the war, as Ibu claimed the Fire Nation throne for himself and ruled De Facto for many years to follow, and converted all of the Fire Nation army into Dark Nation soldiers and began his campaign on the Earth Kingdom next.
The Second Plot - The End of Darkness - 420 YAFO to 425 YAFO
5 years after Lord Ibu became Emperor Ibu, Supreme Ruler of the Dark and Fire Nations, and after he slaughtered the entire Fire Nation Royal Family, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Kouzai, is trained and ready for revenge. Though it initially appeared as if he was killed by Ibu's army, he survived, though not after attaining some facial scars, and trained in both Fire and Lightning bending as well as with his twin broadswords. Now that he is 16, Kouzai began his search for revenge and Emperor Ibu. Kouzai started his travels by heading from Ba Sing Se to the Souther Water Tribe, in search of his old friend, Ma Chao. Once he reached the Fire Nation however, he soon learned that Ma Chao had left and he was no where to be found. However, he ran into a young water bender boy named Wabty, and his cousin, Lee Chang. Together, the three of them headed for Ba Sing Se, still searching for Ma. There they ran into two new friends, Kalilili--a young fire bender who had escaped from her father's wrath and soon fell in love with Kouzai--and Lu Peng, a young Earth Bender who enjoyed tea and reading. Eventually the group flew to Sozin's Island in order to hatch Kali's dragon, Rashana. Eventually the group headed to Omashu and found another friend, Melody Sven. Then together, the entire group headed to the Fire Nation Capitol to eliminate Ibu. However, the attempt failed, and the group was forced to retreat. During the battle, Lee was killed, and Kouzai and Kali fell in love after his funeral. Togther, the group remained on Kouzai's house on Ember Island and trained there until they were ready to mount their attack on Ibu at the heart of his Nation. This time, they recruited the help of the Earth Kingdom and they fought Ibu and his army on the beaches of the Dark Nation. Ibu released a massive cannon to destroy his enemies, but it back fired and destroyed the entire Dark Nation, binding it to the Spirit World and killing Ibu and his Dark Benders. With the Dark Nation destroyed, Kouzai returned to power on the throne, Kalilili became his queen, Lu Peng became Earth King, Ma Chao was found hiding in an Air Temple claiming to be on vacation, and Lee returned to life after the final battle. However, the final battle was not without it's losses and resulted in the death of Melody Sven though they did meet a young Fire Bender named Lynn who instantly became friends with the group. And the end of the battle resulted in many years of peace.
