Sorry guys no comic for you today, what? You say that I don't do any comics? Oh yeah, I write fan fiction. Sorry about the mess up, here is another chapter
Chapter Fifty: No one's Night
"I told you I can do that" Rick defended himself. He didn't even know why he sound so defensive. Maybe it was due to Max's accusative finger. "I thought that you were joking, but tell me why bother to carry around that exopack? I thought that you were really joking and just holding your breath to make me believe that." Max said, lowering his finger. Tarya didn't pay any attention to the arguing humans. She was concentrating on the strange, yet pleasant taste of this food. The rice itself was almost tasteless, but when it mixed with the sauce. "This Chai-nees food is really good, even better than Rick's food" she thought as she continued. She even got used to the fork and knife, it was a strange method to eat food, she preferred to eat with her hands, yet this allowed her hands to stay clean during her meal. "You thought that I tried to confuse you with the exopack? I've took it just because it's a habit, you know, take an exopack and don't get yourself killed by Pandora's poisonous air" Rick explained to Max who now believed that Rick could do that. "Ok, now I feel like an idiot" Max said with a defeated expression on his face. Rick wasn't sure how to respond to that so he remained silent. "Well, I'll be going." Max said after a few moments of silence "Have a pleasant morning" he said after he walked out of the Avatar's quarters, right into Hell's Gate main building. Rick turned back to his food and finally started with that, noticing that Tarya was finishing her dish. "Man, we didn't talk that long" Rick thought as he looked at Tarya's plate which was now almost empty. Rick took a first bite and noticed that Max indeed did a good job on that meal. It tasted just how it was supposed to taste, and that was something, considering what resources Max had. "It is really a miracle to cook anything decent from Military rations" he thought, after he took another bite. "This was delicious" Tarya said, licking the sauce from her lips. "You've got some rice on your face" Rick pointed out. "Where?" she asked as she tried to get the rice from her face. "Under your nose" Rick said with a smile as he took another bite. She simply stuck out her tongue and licked the rice off. Rick saw that and almost chocked to death. "Oh man, that was sexy!" he thought as he slowly stopped choking. "Rick?" she asked with a quizzical look on her face "*Cough* I'm fine" he said when he finally stopped chocking. "Max can cook pretty good"she said, looking at her empty plate and then drank from the glass. "He certainly knows how to make a breath-taking food" Rick said, making Tarya laugh.
After they've finished their meal, Rick looked at his watches. "Six forty, time to go to bed." He thought and then looked at Tarya who looked at the beds near their table. "They were made for Avatars, but now most of them are either gone with RDA or walking among Omaticaya clan" he said "Well, only Jake and Norm are walking among Omaticaya, but there were about twenty of them." He thought, now he was wondering if RDA had more avatars running on Pandora, they now know about remaining forces on Pandora, there is no way to know if they really have Avatars, they could have them for same reasons they had them here in Hell's Gate. "How about we spend night here?" she asked Rick, "It's a little cold out here" Rick said, without thinking about it. But his luck once more kicked in as she gave him a sly smile and said "Don't worry about the temperature, I'm sure we'll figure something out" Now that was an offer Rick couldn't refuse. "I…Sure why not" he said, as she stood up and walked to the nearest bed and sat on it. Rick hopped down from the bench and walked to Tarya, he noticed that there was a nametag on the bed "Sully. J." written on it "But let's pick up another bed" he said, pointing on the nametag. "Why? What does it say?" she asked him, looking at the small metal nametag. Rick wasn't surprised by that question. He knew that she probably couldn't read. "It says that this bed belongs to Jake" he told her and she simply nodded to that, she didn't want to sleep in Omaticaya's olo'eyktan's bed either."If you want I can teach you how to read English" Rick offered as he moved toward next bed, he checked the nametag, but it was blank. Probably bed intended for Avatars who were on their way when Na'vi evicted RDA from Hell's gate. "This one seems empty" Rick said, making Tarya to sit on it. First thing she noticed was that it was soft, and because it was created for Avatars, she could sleep on it without any problems. "Comfy?" Rick asked with a smile. "There is something missing" she said, examining the bed "What is missing?" Rick asked checking what was wrong with that bed, but there was nothing wrong with it, there was a pillow and blanket. Just about everything one requires from a bed. "You are" she said with a smile. Rick grinned at that comment and got on the bed. Unlike the benches for Avatars, beds were low, to allow overseeing from Human scientists and doctors without needing a stepladder. A few seconds after he got onto the bed he got caught by the insidious possessive tail. "Your tail got me again, I'm not complaining though, it's a nice tail" Rick complimented her tail with a smile, making Tarya smile too. "Thank yo…" she tried to accept the compliment but Rick interrupted it by kissing her. "You don't need to thank me for stating the obvious" he said, watching her slightly blushing face. It didn't take long before they were once again one blue and pinkish-white ball of love.
The morning came pretty fast, but the rising sun didn't disturbed their sleep, both of them, still holding each other were sleeping until ten forty when Max came through the doors to the Avatar quarter with Observer. "Sorry to wake you up…Oh my god, I should really learn to knock" Max covered immediately after he noticed that they were both naked, and still holding each other. Rick yawned, and then sat up, this action caused Tarya to wake up too. "Yes you should" he said sleepily, they've had only about three hours to sleep, they could've spent four hours sleeping though. "But it was totally worth to sleep only three hours" Rick thought, remembering the last night. Tarya sat up too and turned to Max and Observer who woke them up. Max's eyes were now wide open, Rick noticed that and crawled into Tarya's lap and raised his arms into the air. "Max, could you please stop staring at Tarya like that?" Rick asked, or rather warned Max to cut that out. Max shook his head and turned around. "Sorry" he exclaimed, his face so red that it was visible even when he was turned around. Rick lowered his hands. Tarya giggled at that, mostly because Observer didn't forgot the order that Rick gave him earlier today, and he promptly translated everything to Tarya. Na'vi weren't shy about seeing each other naked as much as humans were. She knew about Human shyness from Dreamwalkers, Omaticaya wasn't the first or the last tribe to get an Avatar visit from RDA, and she remembered that they've kept their clothes on, and even the conversation with them about why do they wear so many clothes. "Your new friend Observer made me to lead him here" Max said still turned around. "It is almost time to leave" Observer said, Rick noticed that he was wearing his suit, and his mask was closed. "Oh great, I guess I've got a new secretary, an ugly one." Rick thought as he started dressing up, Tarya did the same but she was dressed up faster than Rick was. "You can turn around now Max" she said, still amused by this situation. Max almost turned around when he heard "If you want to see me with pants down, sure go ahead" from Rick. That made Max stop, and he didn't continue turning, Tarya wasn't aware that Rick didn't finish his dressing up yet. It took another three minutes for Rick to get fully dressed, but the rest of the group patiently waited. "Okay, let's go" Rick said as he got ready to leave the avatar quarters, but before he got through the doors the alarm started blaring, waking Rick up completely. "This day keeps getting better and better" he though.
"Intruder alert. Intruder has got over the main gate" the synthetic voice said through intercom. "That's strange. The security system stopped working shortly after RDA left." Max pointed out.
Main gate
"If he makes a camera to open this gate when I'm inside, why doesn't he make a camera that open this gate when I'm outside?" Thanty asked himself as he climbed over the main gate, but as he did so, the red lights and a blaring sound caught him off guard. He almost fell down back onto the wrong side of this gate "Whoa, that didn't happen when I tried to climb over it last time" he though. But the red lights and Blaring sounds weren't his only problem. He noticed that the yellow lights on the small towers which were situated across the wall turned Red, after that he noticed that these were no small towers, but automated turrets overgrown with Pandora's flora, some of them were overgrown so much that they couldn't turn to him, but two of them could. He quickly jumped down from the gate into the courtyard, noticing that one of the turrets couldn't turn to him when he was inside, due to the roots growing over it, but the second could. The chain-gun turret targeted him and started rotating it's barrel.
"Oh hell" Thanty thought, he quickly started running toward the hangar. The chain-gun turret started firing after a few seconds, but it couldn't keep up with Thanty, missing him with every shot, after Thanty reached the hangar doors he noticed with terror that they were closed. "Rick told me that they never close them!" his mind yelled as he dodged the bullets from turret once again. The chain-gun turret suddenly stopped shooting. Thanty looked at it, and noticed that the barrel was still spinning at top speed. "Out of bullets maybe?" he thought with smile, but then he noticed the second threat, he saw with corner of his eye that there was another spinning thing on the wall to his left, he quickly turned to see an automated tower spinning it's broken barrel at him and sparkling while doing so. "PHEW! I thought I was a goner!" he thought with a relief, this turret must've been damaged when the na'vi defeated RDA and then evicted them, but man this thing scared him. He then noticed Tarya, Rick, Max and Observer in the distance. "[Rick, if you think this is funny, it isn't!]" He yelled at Rick, who said something to Observer and Max and they've quickly ran off. Thanty knew that this was not Rick's doing after the turret turned to Tarya and the red light changed to Yellow "To unidentified Na'vi intruder, Stay where you are until the security arrives" the synthesized voice said in na'vi and then continued in English "PFC Rick No one, secure the na'vi intruder." The voice said to Rick who was getting more and more nervous. "I hope they make it in time, before something happens to someone" he thought, with a drop of sweat on his cheek.
Yah, I end it here. It is another cliffhanger!
What is happening? Has RDA returned to Hell's Gate? Does Jake know about this? Or is it something else?
(Don't look at me. I don't know what is happening either!)
(Funny fact: Both I and my proofreader were drunk during writing and proofreading it ((Yeah nothing is better on for a sore throat than a bottle of alcohol)), so don't expect miracles, but if you find some errors, tell me through reviews. I really hope that there aren't many of them)
STAY TUNED!
