Complete story — includes the ending
Zuko tries to teach Aang how to firebend, but he has lost his own ability to bend as he is no longer reliant on rage, the previous source of his firebending. Toph suggests they learn from the original source of firebending, revealed to be the dragons, who first imparted their knowledge to a seemingly-extinct civilization called the Sun Warriors. Aang and Zuko travel to Sun Warriors' ruins, where Zuko reveals that Sozin began the tradition of hunting dragons for glory to the point of extinction, with the last dragon being conquered by Iroh. After being caught in a trap, Aang and Zuko discover the Sun Warriors still exist. The chief agrees to teach them the ways of the Sun, having the pair each carry a sacred flame up the mountain to meet the masters Ran and Shaw, a pair of surviving dragons. The dragons deem Aang and Zuko worthy after they successfully perform an ancient routine called 'The Dancing Dragon' they learned along the way, and engulf them in a column of rainbow fire; Aang and Zuko realize that fire can bring energy and life, not just destruction. The tribe tells the pair that Iroh was the last outsider deemed worthy by the dragons, and claimed to have killed the final dragon to protect Ran and Shaw. Both Aang and Zuko begin to firebend again, stronger than ever before. Note: This episode first premiered on January 4, 2008, in Canada.
