Alexander looked at Vaatu. He had not forgotten about this ancient spirit of darkness. It was not an evil spirit but it was just the way its nature was programmed to be.
He currently stood inside the Spirit realm in front of the tree of time, the supposed place where Vaatu stayed locked.
"Welcome to my humble abode, it's not much but it's home," Vaatu said sarcastically.
Alexander was honestly surprised by this weird spirit. It didn't act the way a normal villain would.
"Okay, here's the deal. You stay inside for the rest of the time and I will not hurt you. I will also leave behind entertainment for you so you won't get bored." He proposed.
"Oh, what kind of entertainment are you talking about? I have lived longer than I can remember so not many things surprise me." Vaatu said.
Alexander just expanded the space inside the tree of time and set up a supercomputer. The computer was good enough to constantly create new games for Vaatu and also emulate full natural; multiplayer experience. He also left countless movies and shows in there. They can also be created according to what Vaatu wanted.
"Look at this, this game is called Doom Eternal. You kill monsters in it and this is Ghost of Tsushima. This one is PUBG. There is also entertainment, this series is called Game of Thrones and this is called Friends. This movie is a part of Marvel series..." Alexander introduced him to everything.
The ancient spirit then sat down and tried playing Doom. Vaatu knew that he could never win against Alexander, not even in his dreams, so he went with the flow.
But after playing for half an hour he really liked the whole violent aspect of it. "Oh, Ooooooh... this is amazing, this is so good, ahahaha... so much chaos, die... UNLIMITED POWAAAA"
"Well, Vaatu, you should enjoy your time here. I hope I won't have to see you in the physical again. And if I do catch you, you know the punishment." He warned Vaatu before leaving.
From there Alexander went back to the fire lord's palace. The war may have ended but a happy ending was still very much due for Zuko and his sister. Iroh, on the other hand, made peace with the fact that his own brother killed his son. He asked to talk to his son for once, which he did let him do. Lu Ten was surprised but not too shocked by the plot behind his death.
"I am already dead." was his reply.
As soon as Alexander entered the Fire Palace he was greeted by the loudest cheer possible. Voices chanting his name echoed throughout the hall. All the different military generals and other high-level officials had bent their knees to Zuko now and had recognized him as the new Fire Lord.
So, there was quite a big crowd. Alexander looked at Iroh sitting beside Zuko who sat on the Fire Lord's throne. "What is all this for?"
"Well, Zuko here wanted to honor you as the Immortal Guide of Fire Nation. This makes it so that in the future if another person like Ozai comes then you can simply take over legally." Iroh explained.
So, Alexander waited for this prize ceremony of theirs to end. Then finally he talked to them privately, "Let's go and meet Ozai. Let's find out where Zuko's mother is."
Zuko instantly agreed. They then came to the cell Ozai was being kept inside.
"Came to laugh at me, now?" Ozai mocked.
"So you do accept that you and your whole life is a joke." Alexander shut him up. Then he went forward and made him drink his homebrewed Truthspitter potion.
*Cough Cough*
"What did you make me drink? Is this how you will kill me? With poisons?" Ozai asked.
Iroh shook his head in disappointment, "You are not even half the man you showed yourself to be. Calm down and start meditating now, brother. Your time for judgment will come soon."
"What you drank was a liquid that makes people speak the truth. Now, tell us everything that happened to Zuko's mother." Alexander asked him.
Ozai tried to fight but soon gave in, "F-Father wanted me to kill Zuko for suggesting that I become the Firelord and not Iroh. I was ready to kill Zuko but then Ursa approached me and said that she will provide an untraceable potion and in return, I had to let Zuko live.
"I agreed to her condition and killed father. Then I sent her away from the Fire capital as I didn't want any backlash in the future. I don't know what happened to her after that. I had her followed for a few months but then she suddenly vanished."
Ragnarok scoffed and shamed him, "You miserably failed at being a good Fire Lord, a father, and now a husband. You are a cluster of disappointments. It's a miracle that someone hasn't killed you with poison yet."
"Hah, I just continued the ambitions of my father and grandfather." Ozai retorted.
These people did not return to their countries and instead became traveling criminals. So, GAO was catching them.
"Dobby, I will be going to find Zuko's mother. You are in charge." Alexander told him.
"I am always in-charge, boss," Dobby replied.
Alexander embarrassingly scratched his beard, "Okay, you join me. I will put a Seraph to work."
"No need, I will work here till then," Blue Fang came.
"Haha, Blue Fang, you did a lot of good here. Hey there Haku. How have your days been going?" He asked.
"I am having fun, grandpa, I help papa every day." Haku cheerfully said.
Alexander ruffled his hair, "Good boy, this deserves some chocolates. Here you go."
Haku took it and bowed a little, "Thank you,"
Alexander looked at Blue Fang, "He is so well mannered."
"Yes, he's been like this from the beginning. Instead, it is I who has to make him have fun here and there. Otherwise, he stays uptight," Blue Fang revealed.
*Sigh*
"Demons of the past can keep on hunting you in the present. He just needs love, I'm sure." Alexander muttered.
After that, Alexander, Dobby, Ragnarok, and the whole Aang gang went away. Tailed beasts were busy in Phixheim so they didn't come along. Iroh and Azula were also coming obviously.
They got on Appa's back and headed off. Alexander, Dobby, and Ragnarok were always very heavy so they had to use magic to not kill the poor Sky bison under their weight.
"Little girl, what will you ask your mother when you see her?" Ragnarok asked Azula brashly.
Azula knew that the old man was not normal and she could not win an argument with him, known from past experience so she answered, "I will ask her why didn't she love me as she did with Zuko."
"Hmm, well, answers can only be heard when you ask for them. I won't stop you. But I must say child, what you did yesterday, I am proud of you. You stood up for the right thing." Alexander praised her.
Azula didn't show on her face but she was happy in her heart. Even her father never praised her like this. Not once did he say he was proud of her. But now, she was directly recognized by the strongest and wisest being in the world. It was like a badge to her now.
"Zuko, why do you look so sad? What happened?" Iroh asked when he noticed him not focusing on their conversation.
Zuko looked around at them first. Then he finally took out a letter, "I found this in my father's office. This was a letter written by mother and according to this... I... my father was not Lord Ozai."
Everyone's eyes widened hearing that. This was some new family drama starting up.
