"Trudy! Trudy come in! Trudy!" Jake yells over his intercom from the back of his Toruk. "Rogue one is hit. I'm going down. Sorry Jake." I reply before another missile hits my Samson and it bursts into flames plummeting to the Pandora earth below.
"Ahh..." I groan as I began to come around. Blinking a few times and looking around the cockpit of my aircraft, I realize that the chopper I was flying so effortlessly through the sky just two minutes ago, was now on the forest floor burning to ashes. I sit there stunned for a few more seconds but then feeling the fire nipping at my flesh I pull myself from the Samson. My lungs are screaming out for fresh air but when I inhale its not Oxygen I get it's Pandora's potent gases. I gasp as I claw the soft soil, pulling myself closer and closer to the burning Samson. I reach up and grab the air pack free from its hook. As I'm securing it to my face I take in a lung full of Oxygen and I try to pull myself to my feet only to feel a shooting pain go up my right lag just before it collapses beneath me. I bit my lip to keep from screaming out in pain, but a small whimper slips past my lips. I take a few deep breaths to compose myself. I feel the heat of the Samson burning as I pull myself to the base of a tree, propping my limp my body agents it.
After a few minutes of watching my chopper burn and my painted Tiger melt away. I decide to look over my injures, I figured I'd start with my lags considering it would be the easiest, I look down at my lags seeing that my right lag was broken and on the outside of my left thigh had a large gash almost all the way down to my knee. 'How the Hell did I survive this? A chopper crash of all things...that missile should have blown me to pieces but it didn't.' I think to myself as I run my hand through my heir, I feel a sharp pinch and I cry out as I pull my hand free of my heir only to see that its covered in blood. 'That's nice, just beautiful.' I think as I reach for my intercom, pressing a button so I can speak into it . "Jake, Norm, Neytiri? Anyone?" I wait but there's no reply. "Jake, Norm, anyone?" I try again as I stare down at my hands.
"Well, well, well, look what I found? Trudy Chacon the trader. How's it feel to know you betrayed your own race? That you turn your back on humanity to save some flea bitten savages?" says a males voice from be hind me. "They don't call it going rogue for nothing, you know. So tell me, what's up with this? If you've got something to say to say to me then, why don't you come over here and say that to my face instead of behind my back? What are you a coward? I thought I taught you better then that, Wainfleet." I say his name knowing my old partners voice very well. Out of the corner of my eye I see him slowly starting coming into view. With his gun drawn he stares me down as he circles one side of me stopping just in front of me so he can now see my face and I can now see his. I glare up at him looking him directly in the eyes and he looks right back. "I'm not a coward, I'm following my orders. The same ones you should have followed when you had a chance." He growls. "Well if you ask me killing hundreds of women and children for some stupid rock is Murder. How do you feel knowing your reasonable for the deaths of others?" I ask though gritted teeth as a drop of blood runs from my forehead down the lengths of my face down to my cheek bone but I don't bother to wipe it away. He looks at me and shrugs raising his gun to me "Well then what's one more, huh?" I shrug back feeling a sharp pain in my shoulder. "I don't know why don't you ask her?" I point over to a crouched Thanator. "If you ask me it looks like it wants to play." I add. His Face hardens and he shoots a me, missing me by a hair, sending small shards of wood airborne as the bullet buries its self into the trunk of the tree behind me. I look up expecting to see a Wainfleet standing before me but instead I see an angry Thanator in mid pounce falling on him, killing him instantly. A sigh of relief escapes my lips only to be sucked right in as I see the beast growling and ready to attack once more. "Easy." I coo. "I'm not going to hurt you." The Thanator slowly starts to creep up getting closer to me by the second and I'm left sitting there thinking 'Oh, so this is how it ends, great I survive a chopper crash only to be torn to pieces by a wild Pandoran beast. This is great, this is just awesome, man.' I sigh, closing my eyes as I brace myself for the attack.
