What If... plotting
What if…
Ozai's fire overwhelms Aang's stone sphere with a charged fire bomb, and causes Aang to nearly lose consciousness from the heat. Ozai charges up an attack and destroys the sphere, causing Aang to hit the scar on his back against a jagged rock. Ozai approaches Aang to finish him off, but Aang's glowing hand reaches out and grabs him by the beard. Aang emerges from the rubble in the Avatar State and easily shrugs off Ozai's counter attack, blasting him against a rock with a powerful gust of air. Ozai watches as Aang ascends into the sky and calls forth the elements, air, fire, earth, and finally water, which revolve in rings around Aang.
Aang, possessed by the Avatar State, charges at Ozai and knocks him into the sky, but Ozai recovers before Aang can get to him again. Ozai flees by using Firebending to propel himself at great speeds as Aang chases after him. Aang Earthbends small fragments of rock to shoot at him like bullets, though Ozai barely manages to evade them all and continues fleeing
Aang, still controlled by the Avatar State, continues to pursue the Phoenix King and tries to crush him between two stone pillars with Earthbending, but Ozai manages to stop himself in time. Ozai tries to counterattack, but his attempts continuously fail against the unbelievable power of all the past Avatars. Aang catches him with Waterbending and subdues him with by Earthbending shackles onto his arms and legs. Aang then states with the voices of all the previous Avatars that Ozai and his forefathers have devastated the balance of the world, and he must now pay the ultimate price: death. The possessed Aang proceeds to deliver the final blow, a combination of all four elements into one attack, but at the last instant Aang regains control over himself and leaves the Avatar State.

What if Aang was a few seconds later in regaining control?
Instead of stopping himself before he killed Ozai, the Avatar ended Ozai’s life. Grief over breaking his own spiritual code gave Aang the ability to control the Avatar state and become a fully realized Avatar. The war ended, but things were different for Aang. Consumed with guilt, he left the others to start rebuilding the Southern Air Temple. He spends most days in meditation, trying to overcome the guilt of what he couldn’t stop himself from doing, leaving the Air Temple only if someone needs him.
Changes to his personality:
Aang is less joyful and a lot more withdrawn. He had another way to stop Ozai, but he hadn’t been able to do it. He will not be going out of his way to talk to anyone and will probably go somewhere to be alone, but he’ll be very easy to find, given how huge Appa is.
