This shows the humans point of view in the movie Avatar. What if the Na'Vi were the enemy?

Once upon a time the uniform would have given you respect, and honor, now it made you a target. Even in the home camp, even on Earth. Lt. Alexei Vladislav's polished boots clicked on the polished floors of Hell's Gate Tower, as he escorted Jake Sully down the busy corridor. The riots were getting worse the people on earth were seek of eating flavored mold, and seaweed. Earth's resources were exhausted factories were shutting down the power outages were occurring once every month instead of every six months. We need that Onutanium. Alexei thought. Yet every RDA officer was a target on Earth the people demanding they leave the Na'Vi alone. Idiots. Speak of the devil. He then entered the avatar lab.

As soon as he and Jake entered all eyes turned to him. You could feel the hostility rise the technicians ignored their monitors and glared at him. Oh shit, he thought. Alexei was not a small soldier, raised in the harsh winters of Russia and fed a Russian meat-and-potato diet since he was 3. After joining the military he became the ideal soldier he stood six foot three with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He had a scar running down his face and if he had a crew cut he could be mistaken for Col. Quarich. But even so he knew that the whiney idiot Augustine would complain and complain to Sefridge. Sefridge was, in the soldier's eyes a corporate softie who knew nothing about Pandora from outside the fences, always afraid too make the big decisions which in an environment like this was usually fatal.

"Norm don't let him in!" Augustine barked as she lit up a cigarette and none other than Norm Spellman Augustine's little lap dog rushed in and blocked his way between the avatars inside the storage containers. "Come on its time too go," Norm said as he tried too pull Alexei away. "I just want too look," replied Alexei. "Spy you mean," Norm grunted as he still attempted too pull Alexei away. Alexei smiled and said "Afraid I am going too steal your secret plans on how you are going too dye your bodies blue and run around in diapers?" Alexei could see each Avatar drivers face turn red. Maybe that was wrong too have said. Alexei thought, and then Norm charged. Alexei stood their watching him run and at the last moment he stepped aside. Norm rammed into a folding table knocking several laptops and notes unto the floor. Norm himself flipped over the table and landed on the laptops smashing into the screens and keyboards. Even from across the room Alexei could see Sully trying not too laugh, Alexei allowed himself the luxury of a smile. Then he was attacked again by three more "techies". All of their punches landed at the same time one in his gut, one on his side the, other on his back. He then remembered…

"Only a coward attacks from behind when his opponent is not looking," his father told him after a snowball in the streets of Stalingrad. Alexei had won the snowball fight but attacked one boy from behind. "Always fight with honor his father told him if you win, you are a hero if you lose take out as many enemies as you can…you will still be a hero. Fight with dishonor, and win you will be disgraced fight with honor and lose you will still be disgraced. Even if your opponent fights dishonorably fights do not follow in his footsteps. Even if you lose when he fought dishonorably know that it is he who lost…for he will lose his honor that day." The flashback only took a second. Alexei turned around and saw his first opponent. "Россия" he cried which in English meant "Russia!" and he attacked. A quick jab too larynx had his opponent gasping for breath, and then he decked him the technician went flying back his nose twisted at an odd angle broken. Alexei grinned. He was famous for turning a little fistfight into a dramatic battle.

He loved the thrill of the fight, the adrenaline coursing through his veins he was taught too savor these things when he was a child at military school. His family kept traditions like these, though sometimes questioning he followed them. Many would call him violent, and think that all soldiers were like this but in fact he was gentle but strongly believed in tradition. He still carried a Russian officer's knife from the Napoleonic wars with him. It was his great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,greatgreat,great,great,great,great,great,great,great grandfathers and he carried it with him wherever he went. He refused to go too Pandora in cyber sleep unless he got too carry it with him. He got too sleep with it.

Then he turned for a second time and quickly dispatched the two others, just before Col. Quaritch flanked by two armed guards walked in. "Attention officer on deck," Alexei cried and snapped too attention. Standing at attention was not required on Pandora as well as announcing the arrival of an officer but many did it any way.

Alexei thought he saw a smile flicker across Quaritch's lips as he looked around the lab and saw an unconscious Norm Spellman laying on top of 3 smashed laptops, papers strewn across the floor two unconscious "techies" at Alexei's feet as he stood at attention, and another unconscious "techie" with a broken nose on top of an avatar storage container but Alexei decided it was his imagination.

The rest was a blur too Alexei, standing at a not-required-attention only his mouth moving and staring straight ahead at Col. Quaritch and Parker Sefridge he told them how he escorted Jake Sully too the Avatar lab, and started too for private study examine the avatars, when Dr. Grace Augustine told Dr. Norm Spellman too "not let him in Spellman kept insisting too leave knowing he was authorized too stay he stayed, and when Dr. Norm Spellman showed signs of hostilities by charging at him, he stepped calmly out of the way, then the Dr. crashed into a lab table destroyed a couple thousand dollars worth of lab equipment. Then when he was attacked he calmly defended himself.

He didn't remember Dr. Augustine's argument because he won and the attackers were charged with fines and Dr. Spellman had too replace the destroyed lab equipment. Then after Grace was gone, Quaritch telling too Parker too face the facts that the Na'Vi were quite possibly having an affect on the avatar drivers, then showing videos of the lasted Na'Vi attacks the reminded Alexei of something that happened long ago…

The Samson was flying at top speed back too a much smaller Hell's Gate compound when they were attacked. They were coming back from a recon mission when all hell broke loose 12 Na'Vi riding Ikran attacked they moved like whispers in the night, so fast in the darkening sky that it was impossible too aim they flew around a huge mountain range weaving through the peaks. The door gunner firing the AVR-30 blindly into the night then a Na'Vi arrow pieced straight through his chest the force knocking him back away from the weopon he lay there on the floor of the Samson. Evryone knew he was dying. " Mask," he croaked and Alexei gingerly removed his mask and there he died on the floor of the Samson light years away from Earth, his family, and home.

Alexei his face not showing any emotion, still stood there at attention as Sefridge and Parker talked. He remembered himself taking up his CARB weapon and letting loose at the Na'Vi. The jungle he had too survive his way through, his fellow soldiers getting picked off one by one. How the Na'Vi hunted him all the way too Hell's Gate, the fear he felt in the pitch black darkness. "Lieutenant." His mouth was dry and he took a deep breath he hadn't though about that ordeal since when it happened…2 years ago. "Lieutenant," he heard Quaritch say for the second time. "Sorry sir I was thinking," he quickly said. "About what," Quaritch asked in a nicer tone than Alexei was expecting. "About the 1st recon mission too Zulu Quadrant," he answered. "Your first chance leading a mission, as a sergeant," Quaritch recalled "the mission when you were attacked when your squad mates…" Quaritch let the matter drop.

"They don't understand," Quaritch started, "we came here thinking it was just another war too be won, another hell hole. How wrong we were. We fight for survival they think it is an honor too kill us, a sacrifice too their deity. They don't have people going against their own race. They don't seem too care that we die only that the Na'Vi die. So it comes down too this your, own race, or the aliens." Alexei felt that he should protest and so he did "Sir I don't think you are being fair," "Look me in the eyes," Quaritch began "and tell me its not true" Alexei tried too but he knew the colonel was right, he could have put it better but it was true the humans or the Na'Vi. "We need unobtanium that's all we want," Some how Sefridge got into the conversation. "It is of no use too them, they could just give it too us. Instead of fighting for something they don't even know what does. We would give their land back too. Earth needs the unobtanium badly. Earth can't survive without it." With that Sefridge left.

Quaritch turned "And with that happy thought its lights out better get too the barracksVladislav if you want any sleep," Sir yes sir," replied Alexei he saluted, turned and jogged down the hallway towards the barracks.
