[[WMG: Mai is back because she's now TheUndead.]]
It seems unlikely (within the previous fic) that Katara would let her live even by a hair. So, Sho took his sister's body and either made her a vampire (the photobucket account DOES have a picture of some characters as vampires), a zombie, or a lich.

[[WMG: Mai is back, but as herself from the original show.]]
Death restores her to her normal self, and, having her memories of the first HIBY, she proceeded to save Zuko from whatever is controlling the entire cast. They're in the Spirit World now, as Diaz hasn't updated since November of 2010

[[WMG: Lilith will bring her parents back from the spirit world.]]
So far, Lilith has been set up as our likely protagonist. There may be a point where she will learn about how Azula was brought back from the spirit world, and so Lilith will somehow go to the spirit world herself to bring her parents back for the final battle.

[[WMG: Kuzon ends up married to Ling.]]
Because the only other main character girls are his [[BrotherSisterIncest sister]] and his [[KissingCousins cousin]]. This would continue a DoubleInlawMarriage pattern from the first HIBY, if Lilith marries Poe (as conjectured below). Then, in the [[BigNo third installment]], Diaz can mix it up a little bit ''more'' by having the spawn of both unions marry each other. KissingCousins would not even begin to describe it...it would be [[BlatantLies beautiful]].

[[WMG: Lilith will end up married to Poe.]]
Because there's no other boy besides her brother to hop into bed with. [[IncestYayShipping Not that that has really stopped her before]]...but still, it would put off even some of Diaz's fans if that happened. The funny thing is that, given that Lily and Poe are the two kids who look most like Katara and Aang, and since their union probably means that Katara and Aang will now share grandchildren, HIBY effectively becomes a Kataang fic in disguise like "The Avatar and the Firelord" was a Rozin story in disguise. Then again, it also makes HIBY a Zukaang fic in disguise...and Katoph...and Tuko...[[ShuttingUpNow okay, I'm just gonna quit while I'm ahead]]...

[[WMG: Miracle dies.]]
It's a prerequisite for being a [[strike: Snow White]] Lobzula/[[strike: Leonardo Di Caprio]] Sokka/Princess Yue clone. And, hell, her mom's already done it once.

[[WMG: At least one of the children will die in a HeroicSacrifice.]]
Whether they will be KilledOffForReal or brought back from the spirit world like Azula in the original depends on whether Diaz will want to make the ending bittersweet just for the sake of being bittersweet, or happy just for the sake of being sugary.

[[WMG: The possible outcomes of Lilith against the bullies...]]
* She comes to her senses just in time and spares them.
* Miracle and/or Kuzon stop her with counter-bending, and possibly a CooldownHug.
* She kills them and either repents for it, or is told she did the right thing and becomes a DesignatedHero like her mother.

[[WMG: A WesternAnimation/LegendOfKorra character will appear]]
[[JokingMode Hopefully Amon so he can curbstomp everyone]].
* Or Korra, since Aang's dying. [[JokingMode So she can curbstomp everyone too.]]
* Or they both show up. [[JokingMode Then they curbstomp everyone together.]] [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Then they both agree not to talk about it when they get back.]]

[[WMG: Amon is the real power behind the Agni Army]]
Mai and Sho are big parts of it, sure, but Amon is where it all started. Sho's story of his sister being bloodbent nearly to death by a psychotic, entitled waterbender who can't be persecuted because she's royalty would ''definitely'' help the Equalist movement gain ground, because nobody really wants to live under people who can kill you horribly any minute if they feel like it and can't be called to task over it.\\


The revolution really took hold in the Fire Nation, as they're the country that has to live under [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen a bloodbending Fire Lady]], and as it became more widespread and organized, it became more militant and started calling itself the Agni Army. Mai and Sho took direct command of the Fire Nation Equalists, now the Agni Army, as they were Fire Nationals and symbols of the grievances nonbenders had against benders (and while Sho is a bender, he usually forsakes that and FightsLikeANormal). Mai, being the proactive girl that she is, decided to start by removing the people at the root of the problem- Zuko and Katara.

[[WMG: In the HIBY-Verse, Mai and Sho are behind the Equalists]]

Like the above, the Agni Army is a militant Fire Nation Equalist branch, but Amon isn't behind it, because Yakone was never stopped (that's what happens when the Avatar dallies around with his girlfriend instead of doing Avatar stuff) and so [[spoiler: Noatak never became Amon]]. The undercurrent of feeling that ''led'' to the Equalist revolution, however, was still there, but it was instead picked up by Mai and Sho, who used the story about how Mai was nearly killed by Katara to garner sympathy for the movement. The Equalist movement exists in its normal form in the Earth Kingdom, but in the Fire Nation the grievance against the Royal Family meant that it evolved into the Agni Army, and is now a full-fledged rebellion.

[[WMG: The Agni Army is a theocratic movement.]]

Agni is famously the name of an Indian fire god, and in fanfiction is widely assumed to be the national god of the Fire Nation. The Agni Army that revolts against Zuko and Katara is thus a theocratic, and perhaps nationalist movement that rejects his cosmopolitan rule and foreign/"heathen" wife and seek to restore the Fire Nation to its religious past, a little like the Boxers in early 20th century China.
