Obviously, like any sane person, Roku didn't believe me and simply ignored me as he thought I was allied with Fan; however, after whispering a secret into his ear, one that no one but him could know, only then did he finally start to believe me, though he was still slightly skeptical, which I couldn't blame him. "T-This. This doesn't make any sense. There is only ONE Avatar, h-how can we both be the Avatar yet exist simultaneously?" Said Roku with deep-seated confusion as he sat beside me while rubbing his head, causing me to wryly smile. Unlike Roku, I knew of the multiverse theory, so while it was astonishing to know it existed, it wasn't hard to fathom, though I admit it was a bit weird to sit next to, essentially, myself.
"You needn't worry, Roku; I shall explain once Fan summons everyone." Gently patting Roku's shoulder, I stood up and waved my hand, creating a vortex around Roku's lower half that lifted him tens of meters into the air; once Fan finished creating yet another passageway, I did the same for him since if my theory was correct, the next person he'd be summoning would be… 'Kyoshi.' Gazing through the portal at Kyoshi, who was meditating on a cliff, I brought Fan to my side and let him plead his case. "Avatar Kyoshi! We're in need of your help!"
With Fan's desperate plea, Kyoshi opened her eyes and looked at Fan before shifting her gaze to me, prompting me to clasp my hand slightly and bow. "Who are you?" Said Kyoshi with a slight frown as she stood up and approached the passageway while staring solely at me, completely ignoring Fan's presence, though he didn't seem to mind. "I go by Aang, though I'm sure you're referring to the faint attraction you feel toward me; as for that, I shall only explain if you decide to step through the passageway." Offering Kyoshi a faint smile, I took a few steps back, giving her plenty of space, though, to my surprise, she didn't hesitate to step through the passageway, not even allowing me the chance to warn her that she'd lose her bending, and just like Roku and I, she didn't take it kindly.
Immediately waving my hand, sending Fan tens of meters into the sky, my body, save for my head, was enveloped in the earth. "What happened to me?" Asked Kyoshi solemnly with a stern gaze as she looked down at me, causing me to clear my throat as I quickly explained. "I do not fully know, but stepping through the passageway causes one to lose their bending, except for their inherent one. And yes, while my words may not make sense to you, just like you, Avatar Kyoshi, I'm also the Avatar, and the same goes for Avatar Roku in the sky, who is your successor… If you don't believe me, I'll be more than happy to state a secret that only you would know." I said softly while staring into Kyoshi's eyes, causing her to narrow her eyes at me for several seconds before she eventually nodded. "I don't fully believe you, but you've told me no lies, Aang."
Although Kyoshi skeptically gazed at me, she nonetheless freed me, causing me to heave a sigh of relief as I was in quite a disadvantageous position. "Now, dispel this barrier." Said Kyoshi firmly as she folded her arms while gesturing to the spherical vortex I had encased us in when she immobilized me with her bending, since, unlike Roku, Kyoshi could be a bit forceful if need be. Waving my hand, causing the spherical vortex to vanish, I then lowered it and brought Roku and Fan to the ground, causing Kyoshi to furrow her brows when she glanced at the former. "K-Kyoshi!?" Exclaimed Roku in astonishment as he gazed at Kyoshi, who raised an eyebrow before glancing at me. "I assume this is Roku?" Nodding to Kyoshi, I used sound bending to speak directly into her ear, stating a secret that only she could know, which caused her eyes to widen slightly.
"I-I've never told anyone that… A-Are you really the Avatar? No, that can't be; it wouldn't make sense. Two Avatars are literally impossible." Said Kyoshi firmly with a shake of her head as she looked between Roku and me, unsure whether to believe me or to trust herself; however, with Roku now fully believing me, it wasn't hard to get Kyoshi to trust us, though it was quite the process.

"So you're my successor, Roku?" Asked Kyoshi with a curious gaze as she looked at Roku, who nodded before gesturing to me, prompting me to lightly smile. "Yes, Kyoshi, and Aang is my successor." "We currently have a fire, earth, and air bender; by that logic, the next Avatar will be Kuruk or my successor… I would prefer my successor; I'm curious how he or she is." Pointing at Roku, Kyoshi, and then me, I gestured to Fan, who was again creating another passageway to acquire the final Avatar.
"Roku said you know why we are here, Aang. Do you intend to explain?" Asked Kyoshi with a raised eyebrow as she looked at me, causing me to glance at Roku, who awkwardly coughed, causing me to sigh. "I think Roku explained poorly, as he was too excited to see his predecessor in the flesh. You may not know Kyoshi, but you were incredibly famous during Roku's generation." Kyoshi only nodded at my words, seemingly not caring too much about her worldly fame; as for Roku, he was a bit embarrassed at the truth being laid bare. "I do not know why we are here. Fan-Shu, the spirit who summoned us, has yet to explain; I only know how we can exist like this, and I will explain once the final Avatar arrives."
Kyoshi had no rebuttal to my decision and simply sat in silence along with Roku and I as we watched Fan create, hopefully, the final passageway, which didn't take long; however, before he was even able to state his plea, a rush of water slammed into him, causing me to subconsciously smile as I realized who the final Avatar was. "Oh! Sorry, I-I didn't mean to; you scared me just popping in front of me like that." Hearing that young, energetic, feminine voice, Korra promptly stepped through the portal, causing me to raise an eyebrow since she looked far more beautiful than I remember. 'Well, I could say the same for Kyoshi as well.' With a faint smile, I briefly glanced at Kyoshi, whose face was covered in paint.
"I do not know who that is." "Yes, neither do I; she must be Aang's successor if that's the case." Nodding in agreement with my predecessors, Korra's concerned expression vanished shortly after stepping through the portal as she glared at Fan, who was coughing while slowly standing up. "The hell you do to my bending!? Are you working with Amon!?" Stated Korra angrily as she glared at him before snapping her arm forward, surging a wave of water toward him, though before she could attack him again, I landed in front of him, diverting the attack with my bending. "Hello, my successor. Do you think you could take a moment and let me explain?" With a faint smile, I clasped my hands and slightly bowed to Korra, whose eyes widened in disbelief as she gazed at me.
"A-AANG!? THE FUCK!?" Said Korra loudly in disbelief as she stared at me, causing my expression to twitch at her severe lack of etiquette, though I wasn't too bothered, as that's who she was. "Not just me; Roku and Kyoshi are here as well." Outstretching my hand towards Roku and Kyoshi to my left, Korra's eyes widened even further as she was left speechless while constantly gazing between us. "H-Huh?" Smiling, I approached Korra and gently grasped her shoulder. "I know it's confusing, but can we ask for your name? I'm not the same Aang, you know." I asked softly, and although it took a moment for Korra to process my words, she eventually responded. "K-Korra."
"Well, Korra, now that you're here, I can alleviate your and everyone else's confusion about how we're existing like this." Just as I began to lead Korra to Roku and Kyoshi, the ground suddenly shook, causing me to frown, though when I raised my head, my eyes widened when I saw greenish ooze seeping through cracks in the sky. "W-What's happening?" Asked Korra in confusion and slight fear as she gazed into the sky, causing me to faintly shake my head. "Oh no, if Father Glowworms presence is reaching here, t-that must mean–" Glancing at Fan, who seemed to know what was happening, I was about to ask him questions, but not only did he start to create another passageway, but the stampede of tens of thousands of monsters had finally arrived.
"Please protect me while I create a passageway to escape!" Yelled Fan loudly as he glanced at us with a desperate expression before shifting his focus away from us, prompting me to look at Kyoshi and Roku. "Given that he is the only known way for us to return home, I suggest protecting him." Thrusting my palm to the left, launching a powerful gust of air that knocked tens of beasts down the mountain, I glanced at Roku, Kyoshi, and Korra, who all nodded despite the latter still being full of confusion.
