"Hell yeah!" screamed Jack. His gunship had just taken out another banshee rider, with a clean shot straight through the heart.
Morons, he thought. They're going up against gunships with bows and arrows.
"You think they'll retreat?" shouted his twin Lucy over the deafening sounds of the battle. Missiles firing, banshees screaming, Na'vi war cries. The stuff of nightmares.
"Seems likely" Jack answered. "We can't be more than a minute out. Once we've got the bomb in position they'll never dare to attack us again!"
Jack was expecting a reply. He didn't get one. Calling again to his sister, he started to get worried. Being a door gunner was a dangerous job. But still, surely he would have heard her scream...
That chain of thought was interrupted by the words of his sister. Quiet, but still discernible amidst the sounds of the battle. Sounds which had just intensified.
"Oh my God" gasped Lucy.
Location: Aboard the Valkyrie
Sam Turner was angry. Very angry. Yet another of his men had fallen, this time by one of the dreaded poisoned arrows. He'd managed to shoot the Na'vi, but the banshee flew off.
There's too many, he thought. We need to drop the bomb now!
"Get the bomb out!" he shouted to his fellow soldiers. Though all seasoned soldiers, none of them had ever seen such a fury of nature. "Get the bomb out!" he shouted again. "I'll cover you!"
No sooner had he said those words, than a huge beast slammed into the shuttle. Over twenty metres long, with terrifying red wings, it smashed into the shuttle. Sam gasped in horror as it simply plucked one of his men out of the Valkyrie.
Sulley, he thought, as he recognised the creature's Na'vi rider. Traitorous bitch.
Another arrow landed in the compartment. Another soldier down. Another life that could have been saved if those idiots on the Avatar project had done their jobs instead of starting a war.
We've lost. We haven't made it. At least we put up a damn good fight.
Then those thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a banshee flying towards them. The Na'vi rider seemed to be armed.
That's not a Na'vi…
Location: Skies above the Tree of Souls
Lucy Noakes was scared. Very scared. It could only have been seconds since she had said her final goodbyes to her twin, but it felt like years. Final goodbyes.
She knew that there was no going back. If the out-of-control banshee, Na'vi archers and crazy gunfire didn't kill her, then the two grenades in her belt would. She would never again see Earth, her home. But she would save it. Through one crazy, ten-second flight.
At least, that was the plan.
The banshee appeared to be going in the general direction of Jake's Leonopteryx. But the numbers on the grenades were going down fast. Too fast.
Six. Five. Four.
She didn't agree with everything the RDA had done. But Earth needed to take priority over Pandora. Unobtanium was Earth's only hope.
Three. Two.
She saw the bomb, the one weapon that could save the Earth. She saw Sully preparing to ram the shuttle.
Not if I can help it, she thought with a smile.
One.
As she crashed into the Leonopteryx, she had time for one final thought.
I always wanted to go out with a bang.
Zero.
