A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner. School and the work that goes with it is causing havoc for me. Anyway, this chapter was thrown together over like a couple of weeks like normal but this took like a month to get to write because I couldn't think of a way to start the chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter Ten: An enemy's return from the dead

The ISV Vulture docked at a space station not far from Pandora. The human inhabitants boarded the space station leaving their original ship behind. The inhabitants included Parker Selfridge and someone of whom everyone thought was dead. Death caused by the poison from a Na'vi princess' arrow.

"What a son of a bitch!" Selfridge muttered as he boarded the station.

"Everyone is at fault here!" said the figure behind him.

Selfridge stopped, his feet frozen in place. He turned to see to who had spoken only to come face to face with a scarred Quaritch.

"Miles? I thought Sully's girlfriend killed you!" Selfridge said his face going pale like he had just seen a ghost.

"She only shot me enough to knock me out," Quaritch said in an evil tone.

Selfridge's eyes were still wide from the shock. He looked around and saw the pale expressions of the other humans behind him. They were in just as much shock as Selfridge was. Nonetheless they continued to file onto the shuttle that they thought was about to take them home. They were wrong to say the least.

Selfridge walked onto the station not knowing what to think. This changed everything. With Quaritch more than alive, they could plot another plan to oust that parasite known as the human traitor: Jake Sully. They would make him and his worthless new home and his new family of savages pay for what the humans of the RDA had lost during the battle. The first target: Sully's girl.

The humans filed into the ship in complete and utter silence until they reached the meeting room. They filed in and took their seats wanting to hear what their already failed leaders had to say. They didn't want to break amends with the Na'vi who had exiled them and therefore banned them from mining the troublesome Unobtanium.

"You are probably wondering why you are all here," Quaritch said placing his scarred hands on the edge of the table that strongly resembled the mess tables that they had left behind on Pandora. "We are going back to Pandora to get the ultimate revenge!" Quaritch raised his voice that closely resembled a certain human male turned Na'vi to the clans before the battle that had caused the humans expulsion from Pandora.

Murmurs of panic broke out amongst the assembled humans.

"We can't go back!" shouted a man from the back of the room. "The Na'vi will kill us if we even take one step back onto the planet!"

"Yeah!" shouted another few people. Some of whom were female.

Selfridge and Quaritch looked at each other. Selfridge was forced to look away as Quaritch's eyes bore into him like he too had been shot with a Na'vi arrow in the chest.

Quaritch looked out over the sea of people that sat before. They all immediately fell silent as life they had been hit with the pledge. No one dared to speak in fear of facing the wrath of this now greatly feared man.

"We strike with greater force. No Na'vi or Na'vi army will dare oppose!"

The humans were relucent but cheered all the same knowing that if they didn't they would punished severely.

Neytiri and Jake lay sleep in the grass of a forgotten meadow that was showered in glorious sunshine. They had gone for a walk and had decided to rest for a while only to fall asleep. Neytiri had never been so happy in her life. Pregnant and happy was always a sign of a positive future. If she had followed her father's orders and mated with Tsu'tey she would never have felt as happy as she did now with Jake. She to break the rules to get her happily ever after and she had never regretted it. Well maybe she did that one time when Jake had broken her heart by being forced to lie to her and the clan but otherwise looking back on it now it was felt to distance and it was a memory that she was willing to forget.

She slowly opened her eyes to see the blades of grass blowing gently in the gentle breeze. The breeze felt good against her skin as she laid next Jake with her head against his shoulder. He didn't move but knew that she was there. He smiled. It was his way of letting her know that he knew of her presence. She leaned down to kiss his nose only to be meant by a proper kiss. It lingered but was worthwhile. Jake pulled Neytiri into a hug and sighed. Neytiri immediately looked up.

"What is wrong, my Jake?" she asked.

Jake shook his head but Neytiri would not have any of it. Placing her hands on either side of his face, she forced him to look at her and she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Tell me," she whispered.

Jake sighed again and begun to speak. "I was just... thinking of my brother,"

Neytiri nodded. "I was thinking of my sister too." She said sadly.

"I miss Tom. He was the complete opposite to me. He was smart and got the girls and I was dumb and violent that was going somewhere worth regretting. Until I came here and met you," Jake said looking into Neytiri with a bright cheeky grin on his face.

Neytiri smiled and leaned in to kiss him. Jake's hand caressed her neck while his free hand went to her stomach in which had the slightest bump. Jake broke the kiss and realised something that he had never realised before.

"That's odd," he said looking down at his mate's stomach.

"What?" Neytiri looked down and touched her hand to her stomach as well.

"You're almost 2 months along, right?" Jake asked.

Neytiri's face was full of puzzlement. "Yes. Why?"

"From what I can remember with Nicole's pregnancy with Sarah, she started to show visible signs at least 3 and a half months. This is out of the ordinary." Jake was truly puzzled by this fact.

"Maybe I am carrying more than one," Neytiri joked leaning closer to him as if to kiss him again.

"I dunno but whatever it is I'm just glad to be a part of it." Jake kissed Neytiri's cheek before she snuggled p to him like a child would to their mother. She closed her eyes and sighed happily. She envisioned their child snuggling up them when late at night when he or she had a nightmare. Neytiri could also imagine her son or daughter in bed with her and Jake whenever they had nightmares.

The moment was interrupted by Mo'at. The Omaticaya Tsahìk cleared her throat seeing as it was the only way to get her love struck daughter to pay her some attention.

"Mother! What are you doing here?" Neytiri asked looking up at her mother who was now standing in front of her and Jake.

Mo'at held out her hands and Neytiri took them so that she could pull her pregnant daughter to her feet.

"Could I trouble you for a moment?" Mo'at asked as Neytiri pulled Jake to his feet.

Neytiri looked at Jake and gestured with his head for her to go with her mother.

"Go, I have to attend a meeting with the warrior's council anyway," he said with a slight smile.

Neytiri gave him her 'I love you' look before leaning in to kiss him. "I'll see you later then," she said as Jake started to head the other way. She then followed her mother back toward Hometree and towards her mother's alcove.

"What is this about, sa'nok?" Neytiri asked once they were safe in the alcove and out of the hearing range of the clan.

"I have noticed that you have been spending a little too much time with that mate of yours," Mo'at said crossing her arms across her chest.

Neytiri's ears went flat against her skull and her tail remained motionless.

"So? What does it matter? You know perfectly well that Jake is only looking out for my best interests for our child," Neytiri said trying to keep her voice level and free of anger.

"You are becoming more like Jake everyday 'eveng." At this comment Neytiri rolled her eyes in annoyance. She didn't care if she was becoming more like Jake. She loved him and his humanness was bound to rub off on her sometime or another.

"I am not a child anymore mother! You do not keep me under your watchful eye!" Neytiri hissed. "I'm a woman perfectly capable of taking care of herself and her unborn child."

Mo'at lowered her head and bit her lip knowing her daughter was right. She was perfectly capable of taking care of herself and her unborn child but as a mother herself, she was only looking out for her only surviving child. She prayed to Eywa that Neytiri's child wouldn't turn out to be like their cousin, Riv.

"I did this with Sylwanin too. I know how much you love Jake and how much he loves you but you really do need to consider your chores as well. Just because you're with child does not mean that you forget your chores." Mo'at said sternly.

Neytiri threw her hands up and stormed out of the alcove. Mo'at knew she was hurting but it was nessacary to for Neytiri do her chores and spend less time with Jake. As tears streamed down Neytiri's face, she needed someone to talk to. Knowing Jake and the scientists were busy, Neytiri decided to seek out Nia.

After 10 minutes of searching, Neytiri found Nia weaving under a central root of Hometree with her sister, Ja'la. Knowing her best friend's foot falls anywhere, Nia looked up only to see Neytiri looking really upset. Telling Ja'la to continue on without her, Nia got to her feet and went to comfort her friend.

"Neytiri, what is the matter?" Nia asked pulling Neytiri into a hug.

"My mother is the problem," Neytiri answered.

"What did she say?" Nia asked.

"She told me to do my chores before spending time with Jake," Neytiri sniffed.

"She is only looking out for you. If you have a daughter you will be doing the same thing for her too," Nia said wisely but she knew this would only upset Neytiri more.

"It just isn't fair, Nia." Neytiri grumbled.

Nia took Neytiri by the shoulders and looked at her directly in the eyes.

"I know how much you love Jake and we both know that your mother knows it too but we both also know that you can't win with your mother." Nia answered.

Neytiri groaned in agreement. "I wish mother wasn't so difficult," she said miserably.

"Some mothers are. Some mothers aren't." Nia said hugging Neytiri a little bit tighter than before.

Neytiri looked up at her best friend and smiled grimly. She nodded before backing out of the hug. "Thank you for the company, Nia. I really appreciate it."

Nia laughed. "No problem. I enjoy your company just as much as you enjoy mine. We have been best friends since we were children," Nia said with a smile.

"We'll become mothers together as well," Neytiri said mirroring her best friend's smile.

Neytiri bid Nia and Ja'la farewell and went for a walk around the camp. She passed people she hadn't had seen since the war. She greeted them and continued on her walk. She came to rest at a small stream. She sat and rested her head up against a tree.

"Neytiri? What are you doing here?" came a familiar voice.

Neytiri lifted her head to see Jake coming toward her.

"Jake? What are you doing here? I thought you were attending to the warriors," Neytiri said pulling herself up onto her feet.

"I was I just had to..." Jake couldn't get the rest of his sentence out so Neytiri finished for him.

"Get away?"

Jake sighed but nodded nonetheless. "Yeah you could say that," Neytiri got to her feet and went to hug him.

"I know how you feel," She said in his ear.

Jake sighed again. Neytiri could tell that he was unhappy with the result he had gotten from the meeting with the warriors council. Knowing the warriors like she did, Neytiri would have thought that they would taken this threat more seriously after the last time Jake had tried to warn them about the invasion of the sky people.

"You worry too much Jakesully," said one of the leading warriors.

"I have my sources. You remember Normspellman? He found out about this," Jake had said.

"The sky people would never come back. Not after you banished them," said another warrior.

Jake shook his head unable to believe what he had just heard.

"Please take this seriously!" Jake said trying to keep his temper under control.

The other warriors had laughed and Jake had simply walked out of the meeting with fury pulsing in his ears. His fury vanished when he had come across Neytiri.

"They are still getting to the idea of having a former sky person as their olo'eyktan.If they do not get use to it I will make them," Neytiri said gently before hissing the rest of her statement.

Jake smiled before caressing her cheek. "Don't do anything rash." He warned.

"It is disrespect for them not to appreciate their leader. It is an insult toward me!" Neytiri silently hissed.

"Shh! I can handle myself like you can handle yourself and the baby," Jake said gently.

Neytiri grunted in defeat. He was too good at winning verbal fights.

"Why? Why must you be so..." she struggled to find the right word.

"Stubborn?" Jake said before Neytiri could speak up again.

Neytiri rolled her eyes. Must he always finish for her?

"Why?" she said shaking her head while trying to hide a laugh that was threatening to escape.

Jake laughed before leaning in to kiss his mate's nose.

"Love you," she mouthed.

Jake smiled. "And I you,"

Neytiri and leaned in closer to him to kiss him properly.

Allowing the kiss to linger, Jake fought with all his might to break it but he couldn't.

"Oh right that's enough," he breathed against Neytiri's neck. He had finally managed to break the kiss.

Neytiri knew she had gone a little bit too far but she didn't care. As long as she was with the man she loved, it didn't matter to her.

"Can't you stay?" she asked.

Jake thought about what his opinions were. He couldn't go back to the warriors meeting and he didn't have anything else so the only opinion he had left was to spend the remainder of the day with Neytiri.

"I guess I can but what about your mother?" Jake asked. He certainly didn't want to face Mo'at's wrath.

"Mother has always been there for me but this time she's gone too far," Neytiri didn't want to face her mother's wrath either but she was getting tired of her mother's smothering her.

"She's only looking out for you. If we have a daughter you'll be doing the same to her." Neytiri knew Jake was right but she wasn't going to admit it. Not by a long shot.

"Do we have the rest of the day to ourselves or what?" Jake asked.

Neytiri smiled, "You bet,"

Selfridge sat at a computer thinking of a way he could get his revenge started on Jake. Suddenly he had an idea. He could get his revenge by taunting Jake's friends and family in order to get to him. Putting a satellite code into the computer, Selfridge waited until someone came into view.

"Spellman!" Selfridge said allowing his voice to turn sinister.

Norm walked back in front of the camera only to hear to the voice of the enemy. He stopped at the sound of his name.

"Selfridge! I mean Parker!" the young scientist exclaimed.

"Well, well, well. How's the human traitor?" snarled Selfridge with an evil smirk siding across his face.

Norm knew who Selfridge was referring to and felt his face pale.

"What do you care? You only cared about the Unobtanium and the money that it possessed," Norm said bitterly.

"Oh so you still remember that do you? I suspect Sully still remembers that," Selfridge's tone was menacing but Norm didn't hold back.

"Yes, Jake still remembers that. What did you think? That after he transferred his soul to his avatar that he would forget?"

Selfridge's eyes went wide. Norm gasped at his own comment and covered his own mouth is disarray.

"So Sully is officially a blue monkey now? Excellent!" Selfridge smiled in satisfaction. His plan was now falling into place. He would venture back to Pandora with Quaritch and as many people as they could muster and they would once again try to take their prize; the Unobtanium that they had originally been ordered to take and if they were lucky they kill more of the Na'vi population.

"Well if it isn't the science geek with the weak punch," Quaritch sneered from behind Selfridge.

Norm could feel his blood boil in his veins that ran through his body but he also felt his blood chill at the sound of the voice he thought he would never hear again.

"Quaritch! I thought..." Norm gasped and looked about ready to pass out.

"That I was dead? You thought wrong, Spellman." Quaritch had the most evil smile that Norm had ever seen on his face.

Norm ran out of the frame and bolted toward the Avatar link beds. Climbing in he had the scientist closest to him link to his avatar. Once linked, he bolted down to Jake and Neytiri's tree to tell them what he had just discovered. However, before hurrying out of the lab he grabbed his phone that had been synced to his computer and stuffed it into his overgrown pocket on his shabby pants. Luckily for him, his phone had synced the video conversation with Selfridge and Quaritch and was big enough to fit into his overgrown avatar hands.

Jake and Neytiri sat talking at home when they heard Norm calling.

"Guys! Guys! Guys!" Norm bolted into the tree startling his two love struck friends.

"Norm! What is wrong?" Neytiri asked getting to her feet. Jake of course followed her.

"Quaritch is alive!" Norm shrieked.

Jake and Neytiri looked at each other thinking that Norm was mad.

"He can't be. We both saw his corpse!" Jake's voice shook uncontrollably. Neytiri leaned into him clearly frightened. She may have been a warrior and the outgoing Omaticaya princess but he had feelings too and she was frightened at the fact that the man that she had killed wasn't in fact dead but pretending.

"Jake," she wimped as she cringed into him more.

Jake merely continued to look at Norm.

"Don't believe me? Here." Norm pulled his phone from his pocket and handed it to Jake.

Taking the phone from Norm, Jake actives the video and he and Neytiri watch in awe horror of the harsh reality of their greatest enemy alive. Their only question was how. How could Quaritch be alive and them not knowing it. What were they going to do about this current problem?

"What are we going to do?" Neytiri asked; her voice trembled like she was going to cry.

Norm and Jake looked at each other before turning to her.

"We fight back. That's the only solution." Norm and Jake said in unison.

Neytiri cringed into Jake more than before as if to cry. Norm huddled closer to them not knowing what to think or do.

Please review and voice your HONEST opinion. Thanks again for continuing to follow this story.
