Avatar: What if Aang Never Ran Away?

What would the Avatar have been like if Aang had

never

fled? That's the question fans have had for years. Luckily for you, we think we have the answer first. Let's do a brief summary of exactly the situation that caused Aang to abandon his duties as the Avatar in the first place, as we all remember, Aang had a very happy life in the Southern Air Temple, where he spent his days inventing new airbending games. as he joined his father figure, Monkeyatso, in the series. Aang heard the other airbending masters tell Gyatso that he was spending too. Long distracting Aang from his

avatar

duties, they were determined to remove Aang from Gyatso's care due to rising tensions with the Fire Nation.

This was a real blow since his friends had already started excluding him due to his

avatar

status. He jumped onto Appa's back. and escaped during a particularly bad storm, Aang was forced to adopt the avatar state to freeze himself and Appa in an iceberg so they wouldn't drown. our version of avatar will turn right instead of left, that being said, avatar the last airbender. isn't a name that works for this alternative series so why don't we go with something new like avatar the last airdign? We'll also have to come up with a completely different book system instead of water, earth and fire, we'll start. with our avatar book, a family,

what

in the world would have happened to

aang

if he hadn't run

away

?

Well, gyatso wasn't going to take that verdict without a fight, considering the fact that he was the greatest airbender of that era, it's likely. If he had been able to keep Aang in his care, the children who ostracized Aang would inevitably return. The truly tragic thing about Aang's decision to run

away

is that all of his problems were probably temporary if he had simply waited a few days, probably returning to the exact life he had before, it's even more tragic to think that he probably would have realized that. and would have returned home shortly after leaving the storm was more of a driving force that kept Aang away from the world than I realize.

He even realized that in the world where Aang decided to stay home, he probably would have spent a lot more time with Gyatso on the air nomads, that's not to say there wouldn't have been tragedy, as we all know, on the day of Susan. the comet that the fire nation attacked. Sozen knew that the Avatar was the biggest risk to the empire she wanted to build and so he sent a brigade of soldiers to the southern air temple to eliminate Aang, while Aang would have probably wanted to fight Gyatso and the others. The Airbenders would have beaten him, they would have known that the young avatar was no match for a Fire Nation army let alone one that was spurred on by the comet, so while Aang was forced to hide, the Airbenders would have gone. to war with the invaders upon seeing.

As we don't encounter many true air nomads in the series we can only speculate

what

such a battle would be like, knowing the air nomads there would have probably been dozens of traps and complex strategies that would have kept the fire nation at bay with no- Unfortunately, violence, non-violence would not have been enough that day, as we know that all the air nomads fell due to the enhanced power of the fire nation, in the end only Gyatso was left, the greatest airbender in the world would probably have given a great fight, but they would claim his life at this point, many fans think Aang would have lost his life as well.

I think that discounts an important factor, the state of the avatar, the second Aang emerged to see the people decimated from him, all those tattoos would have started glowing with rage. Aang would have annihilated the rest of the Fire Nation army, leaving himself alone in a temple of corpses. the end of

aang

's life with the air nomads would begin his next chapter book two study, so where does a young avatar go when all his people have been destroyed well, that answer is simple, he would have gone to see his good friend boomi aang. The first destination of his new adventure would be Omashu, his friend would convince him that he had to become the avatar and must go to the northern water tribe long after they spent some time slipping through the Omashu delivery system, it is That is to say, boomi would accompany aang with appa creating a new avatar of team zanier, the two would probably have many adventures on their way to the northern water tribe, frankly, without saka and katara to keep them going.

It probably would have taken the pair much longer to get to the location. Once there, they would discover that a Fire Nation army was already attacking the tribe in the normal timeline. This initial attack would not happen for years. However, Firelord Sozin was smart if he knew that. His armies found the avatar but failed to capture it. He would send his armies exactly where he knew they would go. This would probably play out very similar to what happened in the original story. Aang would help the tribe fight the army using the avatar state. who knows, boomi may have even had his own share of romance, although it would probably be short lived, his girlfriend may not become the moon, but let's face it, boomi's mind isn't exactly on this planet, the The main difference in this timeline is that the waterbenders probably wouldn't have let Aang leave so quickly, he would have stayed in the tribe long enough to properly master waterbending without a looming deadline making him rush through. of the elements after a few years of training, teenage aang would be ready to leave with boomi. and probably a friend from the water tribe who would have made considering the fact that paku and gran gran would still be super young, this would probably be a character we wouldn't know, you know, for fun, let's combine the qualities of katara and saka into a sarcastic new waterbender named kataka i expect no less than a thousand fan drawings of this shiny new character well maybe just one would be cool the team's new avatar would be on his way to send sei to find aang and boomi as a control master The war had not yet reached the base, so they would probably become deeply involved in the city, there would probably be a loss of love and many excellent tea shops as Aang slowly mastered Earthbending, this would probably leave him in trouble. it would have taken several years to achieve.

It was very difficult for him to retain it. I focused on it and that was with Sozin's comment coming up, imagine how long it would have taken him without that motivation by the time Aang would have been ready to master fire, he probably would have been a grown man, not only that, but the nation of fire was still there. actively searching for him the team's avatar probably had to fend off several attacks from the fire nation on his way to the boss, let's just say there was an advantage that aang had, although he already had a friend in the fire nation, Kuzon, the trio would travel secretly to see Kuzon, where he was. would help aang find a master in firebending, they probably wouldn't have had much time for aang to train in such a dangerous place, but eventually he would have mastered it enough to be complete as a full avatar and then he would see Bumi and Kataka get marry. in the enemy country would perhaps be the last moment of peace our team avatar would have had before joining the war.

Little did they know that a change was occurring in the fire nation. Firelord Sozen had passed away. Firelord Azulon would now take his place. Aang would now have to face a new, younger enemy who was even more motivated to eliminate him than his father. This would begin the longest chapter in Aang's life, book three, war, unfortunately for Aang, the day he has been dreading his entire adult life. Now either he would have to enter the war against the Fire Nation. This version of Aang wouldn't have spent months traversing the war-torn world while he would have seen more than his share of destruction and chaos.

The war was more contained. In those days. , our aang would probably try to do things the air nomad style first. He would attempt to hold a peace summit between the three remaining nations. This would mirror his efforts in Avatar the Last Airbender, where he and his friends built Republic City, only this time. things wouldn't go so well in that timeline he had Zuko on his side in this timeline he had a zulon who had no interest in peace after several days of the summit aang would probably feel optimistic the fire nation seemed Being more open to negotiation than he thought they would be, Aang would be more naive as to the Fire Nation's true intentions, even if he had seen firsthand what they were capable of, unfortunately some lessons you have to learn twice. without warning, the fire nation would attack the summit, this would come with reports that they had also attacked the southern water tribe and the city of omashu with a single attack azulon would have eliminated two major cities and at the same time captured many summit leaders aang's naivety would have played right into zulon's cunning plans not only that but the news would get worse he would run back to his tent and discover that boomi had been seriously injured.

He'd probably make some joke about how he wanted to slide through omashu one last time with Aang before he died. This would lead Ang into the war for Real if you stop and think about it, the only reason the original team's avatar took down the fire nation so quickly was a combination of two things, a Sozan comet really cornered them , two Saka was a mad genius if any of those things did. This takes into account that they probably wouldn't have been so eager to try so many crazy plans to end the war, so it would be very likely that Avatar Aang would spend years, if not decades, fighting the Fire Nation.

In fact, let's say he would take that much. long time for azulan's children to have time to become young adults, at this point zulon would be completely obsessed with destroying yang, the fire nation's only real rival, he would task his two children to infiltrate the fire nation's camp. avatar, whoever took down aang would be the one who would ascend to the throne after his passing, iro, a fierce student of the water tribe, would have joined kataka's forces, while young ozai would have made his way to the kuzons , the two would have joined with their generals, but for different reasons, kataka awakens in iro. the truth about the fire nation and distances him from his bozai mission;

However, he would have manipulated Kuzon into returning his loyalty to his former home. All of this would come to a head on the fateful summer solstice where Aang would finally confront the firelord Azulon for years. and kataka had been planning an infiltration mission and it was finally ready iro and ozai would both meet with opposing plans on how to handle the situation the team avatar would sneak into the fire lord's throne room where aang would openly challenge his father azullon and aang would have a fight very similar to aang vs ozai with the same result aang would take control of a zulon thinking he had won the war forever then he would be betrayed when kuzon and ozai attacked aang would defeat kuzon with little effort his old friend would He would feel ashamed of his actions and the two would almost share a moment of reconciliation, then Ozai would attack with lightning, injuring Aang, he would go for a second but Ira would jump in to save Yang Aang and his friends would retreat but it would be too late. .

Aang's injuries would be too much for him now, an old man, he would smile at his old friend Kataka and tell him to find the new avatar, she and Ira would comfort him as he closed his eyes and then, across the world, the eyes of the new avatar they would. open avatar katara of the southern water tribe would begin her journey when iro and kataka finally found their fire lord ozai would give his two sons the same orders he received to find the avatar and destroy her for the throne and thus would begin the legend of katara and there you have it, our alternate avatar.
