Tak suddenly interrupted their conversation. "Sorry, I'll be right back" he said as Zetey wondered what it was that he had to go and do. She continued to watch him walk off until she concluded that he probably didn't want to continue talking to her. She decided to help some of the people with their daily activities. Tak made his way back to his tent. He checked to see if anyone had noticed his return. No one was at the window. He sneaked into his tent and got his mask and his knife. Putting the mask and the knife in the back of his pants, he hid them by pulling his singlet over them and headed off back to the village. Once he returned he searched for Tsuwokan. He found him carrying wood up into hometree and decided to follow him. Confronting him by the fire place he began to ask questions.

"Ey, where do I find the skypeopel?"

"What do you want? Go away!"

"Just tell me where to find the skypeople."

Tsuwokan paused for a while before answering his question.

"...Follow river, the skypeople walk there. They look for us."

"Thanks, I'll fuck off now."

"Why you ask?"

Tak didn't answer his question. He made his way down. As he did, Tsuwokan noticed something bulging out from the back of his singlet. Tak went to the river and followed it. From where he stops following the river to go to hometree, he walked for roughly twenty minutes along the river without finding a single human. He decided to follow one of the shallow streams which connected to the river and made his way into unknown territory. It was warm and humid. He stopped to kneel down and reach for the wet dirt on the ground. He then applied it to the area around his eyes, put on his mask and pulled out his knife. Not knowing where he was, he decided to follow the stream. The stream connected to another stream, which connected to another stream and so on. This was a wetland which was incredibly rich in primary production. A perfect place for animals to graze. However he still didn't know why humans would come here. Trying to avoid detection, he hung around large plants as they provided cover. Tired from walking, he decided to take a rest. Sitting down on tree trunk which grew horizontally on a small hill, he observed his surroundings. To his left were a group of Hexapedes nibbling on the leaves of a plant. He observed their activity until they fled to the sound of gunshots.

"YEAH! I got one!" yelled a human voice. Judging where the voice came from, he hid behind a tree to avoid being detected. He continued to listen. "It's just an animal, big deal. I came here to kill me some blue monkeys, now where the fuck are they?" yelled another soldier. Tak slowly crawled up the hill to some grass and larger plants. He peeped through the small gaps to see a group of four soldiers hanging around in the open. He continued to watch.

"God damn it I thought we were going to find those bastards! I didn't come here to shoot these dumbass animals!"

"Relax they'll be here. This is where they come to hunt."

"Yeah well they better turn up soon cos I'm getting bored."

"We'll keep searching. They'll show up."

One of the soldiers got excited and fired his gun in the air. "WOOOO! Yeah you hear that? We're coming to get you fuckers! YEAH!"

"Stop it! That'll just scare them you retard! Geez!"

"Ok, well let's split up and find something to shoot. Killing something is better than killing nothing. But don't go too far, just stay within this area."

They group split up and went their own ways. One of them was walking towards Tak but not directly towards him. Tak slowly made his way down the hill and back to ground level. He guessed that the soldier had walked towards his left so he slowly moved towards his left. Hearing the footsteps, he hid behind the tree trunk. The footsteps were getting closer and then they stopped. Tak kept very still and quiet. He then heard the sound of a zipper, and then water falling onto the ground. Very slowly he looked from where he was hiding to see the soldier taking a leak. With his knife in his hand, he crept up to the soldier and in a smooth action, dug his fingers beneath the exopack and wrapped them around the soldiers' mouth tightly, pulling the soldier towards him. He had nowhere to go. He then quickly stabbed the soldier in the neck. It entered one side. Tak slowly pushed it further and forced it out the other side. Holding this position, he waited until the soldier was dead. The soldier struggled to try and break free while doing his best to pull the knife away from his neck but it was pointless. The strength of an Avatar was too much for that of a human. Tak's hands were covered in blood. Not wanting to make a mess, he kept the knife buried in the neck and thought of a way back. He dropped the body and made his way back up the hill. He looked through the plants to see if the soldiers were still there. They had gone off on their own. Now was the time for Tak to make his escape. He picked up the dead body and put it on his shoulder and jogged back the way he came.

Once he reached the river, he continued for a few more minutes before deciding to stop for a rest. He dropped the body on the ground and kneeled towards it. With the knife still in the neck, he took it out and stabbed it into the neck again but not all the way through. Wriggling the knife around to create some space, he started to move the knife in and out. Cutting the head off wasn't as easy as he thought as he had to work through the spine. He managed to cut through the flash and skin but the spine kept the head attached to the rest. Blood was pouring out and was soaking the soil in red. Tak found a large stick on the ground nearby so he jammed it into the mouth until it poked out the other end. He stuck this end into the ground and used the stick as a lever, trying to bend the neck until it snapped. Keeping the body from moving around with his foot, he violently pulled back on the stick but it didn't work. That's when he realized that he forgot an important step. "Ohhhhh" he said to himself. He dropped the stick and placed both hands on the head of the dead body. He twisted the head and broke the neck. Picking up the stick, he tried again. Using all his strength, he pulled back. SNAP! Finally, the head was now detached from the body. Wasting no time, he took off all the clothes and put it into a pile. He then washed his hands and knife thoroughly in the river until the colour and smell of blood was gone. Tak then tied the soldier's shoes together and wrapped up all the clothes along with the shoes into a big bundle except for the shirt. He then took the head and wrapped it with the shirt. After resting for a few minutes, he then held the wrapped "gift" in one hand and the bundle of clothes under his armpit while he dragged the headless body with his other hand. He made his way along the river. Before reaching the turning point to go to home tree, he got tired of dragging the body so he grabbed it with both hands by the feet, swung it and tossed it into a thick patch plants hoping that either animals would eat it or the decomposers would take care of it. He then picked up the remaining things and made his way to the stash of weapons.

When he got there, he lifted the ferns that his the bag and dropped the stuff and covered them back up. Satisfied with the job he did, he took a deep breath and exhaled while wiping the sweat from his forehead. Taking off his mask, he decided to put it in the bag along with the weapons and did the same with his knife. He then returned to the village and tried to blend in with the crowd. But Dr. Eileen noticed he was gone for quite some time and approached him.

"Hey, where did you go?" she asked.

"Just for a walk." he replied in a calm manner.

"What happened to your conversation with Zetey?"

"Got boring."

"Oh, well at least you managed to speak to her. Maybe you could go back?"

"Maybe."

"Ok, well I have to go. The kids can't wait!"

Dr. Eileen ran back to the group of kids she was playing games with. Tak searched for Tsuwokan anxiously. He found Tsuwokan sitting down in a field of grass away from everyone else. It was quiet. Walking over to Tsuwokan, he saw that Tsuwokan had his eyes closed. Tsuwokan breathed deeply and slowly exhaled before opening his eyes to see Tak. Not happy to see Tak, he put on an unhappy face.

"Get up." said Tak. Tsuwokan was getting used to Tak's presence but still didn't enjoy it. Tak signalled him to follow. They walked out of the village and Tak took Tsuwokan to the stash. He removed the ferns. He picked up the blood soaked shirt and handed it to Tsuwokan who looked at it with a suspicious face.

"... what is this?" asked Tsuwokan to which Tak didn't reply. He would have to unwrap it to find out. Tsuwokan unwrapped the shirt slowly. Once he untied the knot, he unwrapped the shirt to see a bloody severed human head. A bit surprised and shocked, he retracted while holding the head in his hands. Tak saw this and slightly laughed. Tsuwokan turned to Tak, wondering what kind of psychotic son of a bitch he was.

"So, you trust me now?" asked Tak. Tsuwokan was speechless. Why did this skyperson want to help his people so much? Sure, there were people like Dr. Eileen who had established good relationships with the Na'vi and had helped to conserve their planet. But Tak took things to a whole new level.

"Ok, well you can keep that as a souvenir. I'm going to go back. Don't tell anyone about this." said Tak as he made his way back to the village. Tsuwokan was still shocked. Not even he would've thought of cutting of the head of a skyperson despite his hatred for them. But Tsuwokan was certain of one thing, Tak was for real. Maybe he could use Tak's help to fight the RDA. It took a while for Tsuwokan to comprehend Tak's actions, but once he did, he tossed the head into the distance, dropped the shirt and returned to the village.

Upon entering the village, Tak saw Dr. Eileen who had spotted him walking in. She looked at him then to Zetey, signalling him to go to her and socialise. Tak didn't like how he was being forced to do so, and this resulted in a forced response. He stuck his middle finger at Dr. Eileen to which she replied with a look that said "haha, very funny". Again, she told him with her body language to go over and talk to her. Tak closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't want to, but something inside him forced him to. He slowly walked over to Zetey. He approached her from behind and began to talk.

"Soooo... doc told me to come here... and talk to you... about... stuff. Anyway, sorry I walked off. I had to go and do something" said Tak with no enthusiasm at all. Zetey let out a small laugh as she found Tak's inability to finish a sentence without pausing to be amusing. For the rest of the time while Tak was there, the two stayed together. Their conversation consisted of many pauses and awkward silences but it was the best conversation Tak had with any Na'vi.

When Tak and Dr. Eileen got back to the shacks Tak, after awaking in their links Tak went straight to his desk and turned on his laptop. He opened one of his games and began to play. Dr. Eileen then sat down next to him and asked questions.

"So how was it?" she asked but Tak didn't reply as he was too concentrated on his game. She lightly poked him and re-asked the question to which he looked at her and back to his game.

"It was ok."

"Good, what did you guys talk about?"

"... I don't know, stuff"

"Well at least you made some progress today. I'm happy for you. I really am. Keep it up!"

Dr. Eileen walked to her desk and sat down. Tak continued to play his game. He was then interrupted by Alan who had entered the room. Alan was holding his guitar and was strumming randomly, showing that he obviously didn't know how to play it. Tak heard this and paused his game to turn around.

"Who the fuck said you could touch it you cunt?" said Tak aggressively.

"Don't worry, I haven't damaged it or anything. Geeez."

Alan continued to strum randomly while walking around the room thinking he was a rockstar.

"You are so fucken shit. Please do us all a big fucken favour and stop playing." said Tak to which everyone else giggled at. Alan did so and put the guitar in Tak's hands.

"Then why don't you play?" said Alan.

"Go get my fucken amp and cord."

"YEAH!" said Alan as he was excited to find out how good Tak was. He brought over the amp and chord and Tak set it up. Alan sat down next to him. Tak tuned his guitar so it was perfect and turned on the distortion. He then began to play. Alan instantly recognized the intro.

"EY! I know this song!" he yelled. He grabbed a pen in each hand and played along on his imaginary drum kit, beating the desk and any object that was on it while stomping his feet to provide bass. Dr. Eileen watched as Tak and Alan jammed together. It brought a smile to her face.

Back at hometree the Takahayo clan was gathering around the fire for dinner. Tsuwokan sat amongst the many people in silence. He was still thinking about Tak's actions. The images of the severed head were still running through his mind. But now he had someone he could trust. He looked from the ground up to the fire. He had met Tak's insane side. Meanwhile on the other side of the fire, Zetey was also sitting down in silence. She was also thinking about Tak. She didn't want to admit it but she found the dreamwalker slightly attractive. He was pretty good looking, but his shy personality is what made her feel at ease. Strange but true. She had met Tak's shy side.
