History[]
When the Team Avatar were arrived at his fortress, General Fong welcomed them and brings them to his office. After telling how amazed he is of hearing that the Avatar has single-handedly wiped out the entire Fire Navy fleet at the Northern Water Tribe, Fong told Aang that he's ready to use the Avatar State to defeat the Fire Lord and stop the Hundred Year War, much to his horror because Aang is not ready yet. Fong showed Aang these injured soldiers return from the war and convinced him to let him help control the Avatar State.
Later that night, Aang enters General Fong's office and telling him that he's ready to fight the Fire Lord. The next day, Fong tried many ways to help Aang get into the Avatar State by making him drinking a rare chi-enhancing tea, getting scared by Sokka's head replaced with Momo's and gave him a ritual where he's wearing clothings from each four nations and bathed in all four elements, but nothing's working for him.
The next morning, Aang told General Fong that he couldn't trigger the Avatar State on purpose, but he can only do it when he's in danger, this causes Fong to reveal his true nature and attack him in order to get him into the Avatar State. Despite being endangered by General Fong and his army, Aang refused to fight them and instead dodged their attacks. When Katara arrived to help Aang and stop Fong from attacking the Avatar, Fong then used his earthbending to sink her into the ground, causing Aang to desperately beg him to release her and eventually forcing him into entering the Avatar State after she completely sunk.
Believed that getting Aang into the Avatar State is working, Fong then release Katara from the ground and telling him that he did this to tricked him into getting him triggered into the Avatar State. After he finally understands the true meaning of the Avatar State, Aang regains his consciousness and apologizes to Katara, hoping that she'll never see him like that ever again. Despite getting called out for how insane of what he did, Fong didn't cared and said he'll find a way to get Aang into the Avatar State on the way to the Fire Nation before he got knocked unconscious by Sokka.
During the Day of the Black Sun, Fong didn't participate in the invasion, but he still sent his army to assist others.
