Today, one man told me that I had no life, spending my whole life playing games and "this fanfiction just proves it" My reply? "'Tis not true that I have no life. Quite the opposite my friend, I have many lives which I already lived to the fullest and never did I regretted living each and every one of them, no matter how they ended."

Chapter 281: No one is unwelcome

The debate was going on long enough, and one side of this conflict started thinking about the possibility that this course of action might've not been the wisest one. The defending party figured that out after the attack. The first attack was however easy to repel as the enemies weren't strong enough to survive the hail of the bullets.

"Give me that thing!" Familiar voice cut it and suddenly, the whole world which was threatened by the horrible enemy was covered by a hand.

"As your commanding officer, I demand that you return my Gameguy 2000 immediately!" Jason said to Harry who was bold enough to take that ancient gaming platform from him.

"I don't care about martial court, you will not be playing this thing while you are driving the car I am sitting in" Harry pointed at Jason's knees which were holding the steering wheel , that was the main reason why the car didn't end up in another tree, yet. But harry was feeling rather optimistic after the whole crash into the tree incident and so he thought that another close encounter with tree won't happen at least for another 6 minutes.

He was however once again wrong. Even though Jason stopped playing his little Gameguy 2000, his driving skill didn't improve much and so in exactly five minutes, they've ended up in another tree. This time however, the crew was prepared and so the results of the crash weren't as catastrophic as one would've thought, well, at least there weren't any catastrophic results on the crew but the car took a pretty bad hit. This time however it wasn't Jason's fault since there was a root big and strong enough to catch the wheel of the said vehicle and thanks to it, the car was turned toward the tree which ended its mechanical life for good. The whole crew was still present on the vehicle.

"Alright, we've got rid of the non-stealthy vehicle, time to go" Jason said in a manner that he once again seemed to know what he was doing.

Everyone get out of the ruined vehicle which wasn't able to start after the crash like this and waited for their 'logically impaired' leader to issue a new order. While Harry was sometimes mad at his fearless and quite possibly mindless leader for getting them into most absurd situations and managing to endanger their lives on daily basis, he was still glad that he was his superior. This way, they could enjoy much more fun for which they are still paid. "I could've got an uptight leader who would send me on 'Scouting' missions all the time because he wouldn't like me." Considering this point of view, Harry's job was one of the few ones you wanted to do, since it was fun, allowed you to be rude at your boss and they gave you a gun and expensive armor which allowed you to sneak into women's shower room.

"Alright, let's move out, that way!" Jason yelled through the radio set, pointing in the direction they've been traveling to the whole way and the whole unit set out without saying anything about it. They didn't need to say anything this time because he was going in the right direction and that was all that mattered.

Big Joe, who was walking right beside Jason, was looking around to see if there was anything to shoot while they were here, but alas there was nothing, which was rather strange considering that the jungle was usually full of life. It meant that either something scary is around here, or passed through here.

"I don't like this" He mumbled, but thanks to the radio, everyone heard that comment and responses to it varied from "I don't like you" which was said by grumpy over "Why not, it's nice and quiet around here" from Harry and finally ending up with the Gunny and Shooty who had the same opinion about this thing.

"I feel like we're being watched Mon, and I don't like that feeling unless it's a nice woman who is watching me." That sentence however earned a lot of approval from everyone in the group, even Big Joe agreed that he wouldn't mind a nice woman watching him, but then again he agreed only to be able to conceal his real sexuality for a little bit longer. The distance between the hell's gate and the home tree was considerable, but considering that the distance between the car and the hell's gate was approximately the same, it was no wonder that they've soon were able to spot the first signs of na'vi living nearby.

The first sign of na'vi living around here was however a little too straightforward as Harry managed to detect a blue moving thing and heard a splashing sounds. After he gave the 'wait' signal, everybody, even Jason stopped and Harry immediately began the leader of the squad. The hand signals overruled everyone, and if you made a 'stop, something is not right' gesture, then you were promoted to the squad leader at least until you either realized that it was nothing, or until you've lead the squad to the enemy. Harry of course knew where the enemy was thanks to the fact that those na'vi were unaware of what was happening around them.

Slowly the humans crawled toward the place until they finally saw who made those sounds. When they've emerged through the thick underbrush, they found themselves in front of a pond which was rather big and considering that there were several na'vi females bathing in it, it might've been pretty deep too since only their upper side could've been seen, that was however enough to make the whole squad lie there and 'gather intelligence on the enemy' the gathering however consisted of Jason, Harry, Grumpy, Gunny and Shooty watching the bathing women. This was one of the many advantages the stealth suit offered, the ability to watch rather attractive enemies take bath in the pond. The females who consisted of Zirina, Tarya and Alyara were completely unaware of the fact that they were being watched by the stealth squad.

"Oh shush, he will be fine" Zirina said to Tarya, who was still concerned about Rick.

"This is the reason why I still don't have a mate. I fear that I'll be unable to stop thinking about him like Tarya does" Alyara said, splashing some water into Tarya's face. Tarya didn't expect that and so she inhaled some of the water, she however quickly retaliated by splashing the water into Alyara's face too. Alyara was expecting retaliation but in order to splash Tarya better, she had to stand up. Even though she didn't know it, this was the best hit she managed to do to any human, she managed to injure five humans at one, the injury wasn't serious and the stealth operatives didn't notice the nosebleed they've got until it touched their mouths.

"Whoa? Did you see that piece of tail?" Harry asked Gunny who was lying next to him, Gunny was however unable to reply as he was still trying to burn the image into his mind. What made the squad even happier was the fact that Alyara wasn't the only na'vi who stood up. Zirina and Tarya also stood up and they've splashed each other with lots of water while moving in the pond.

Big Joe who wasn't interested in this however decided to look around some more, since he knew that the guys will be staying right where he left them, he had a lot of time to kill since he knew how long does it usually take for females to bathe. He looked around for something to do, but there was nothing since the animals didn't dare to come close to the na'vi who were usually eating them. When he turned around, he saw every stealth ops member near the pond, five of them were laying near it and the sixth one was seemed to approach the pond. The sixth one however wasn't supposed to be here since there were only six of the stealth operatives in the area, including Big Joe. Big Joe saw him only thanks to the Friend or Foe system which showed Miguel as friend.

Miguel on the other hand had turned off the IFF system since there was this part of the IFF system which alerted you on a hostile presence being really close to the Miguel and since he wasn't capable of adding the 'dog' to the friend list, he was constantly bugged by the system, in fact he deactivated the system after a twenty minutes of constant beeping and artificial voice saying "Enemy detected" every five seconds. The viperwolf which was now labeled as 'dog' was following its master like any other dog would, the only problem was that he was no dog. Instead he was a viperwolf who was trying to survive by joining larger animal which by the way wiped out his family.

"With him, I'll be able to survive much longer, but I must not make him angry." The viperwolf thought as he was silently walking behind the now invisible master. It was capable of 'seeing' him thanks to the fact that he knew his smell and the distance between them wasn't that large.

Miguel eventually walked to the same spot as the rest of the stealth ops, but because he didn't have the IFF system on, he only saw the bathing na'vi while the Jason's squad saw him too.

"Who is that guy?" Gunny asked Shooty who replied with

"Are you gay? Forget the guy and enjoy the show!" The whole conversation was transferred through the radio and therefore nobody except Jason's squad was able to hear it. Even Miguel wasn't capable of hearing it since his team used a slightly different frequencies.

"Isn't that the?" Miguel thought after spotting the females.

"Isn't that the target's wife?" He thought after he recognized Tarya who was now smiling as she was splashing Zirina with the water. Her tail was moving from side to side playfully, it however sometimes bolted to the side as she was trying to dodge the incoming water which always proved almost impossible due to the fact that the water hindered her movement.

"Only three of them, might as well kill them and hide before attracting the others." He thought. It was a good plan, considering that there were only three of them. What made things even better was the fact that one of them was Rick's mate, and if he killed her, then when will Rick realize what is going on, he'll snap and he'll try to get some revenge. This would mean that Miguel will have a clear shot on him too in the near future. It was all just a matter of time.

"Sorry girl, but you've married a bad guy. Nothing personal" He thought while he was slowly raising his weapon and getting her in his scope. He wanted to kill all of them with one shot if possible. It was possible only if they line up, which happened after a few moments.

"You act like you will die without Rick, come on Tarya!" Alyara teased Tarya who was also laughing.

*Ka-blam!*

Enough is enough, I've had it. I had enough of these (Censored) Stealth ops near my (Censored) pond!

*Ka-blam!*

Alright, and I had enough holes in my body as well. I hate you Miguel!

"Shut up and Die already"

What's the big idea?

"I blame you for my misery"

Fair enough…. Let's get going

What happens next? Will I make another unexpected twist in the story? Should I play some dramatic music right now? Will I be able to get some rest after fixing my car's rear lights with my soldering gun?

Can it catch on fire?

We'll never know for certain unless we wait another day to answer those questions

The answers for yesterday's questions:

-Demogorgon: What if I lack motivation? I'm not getting paid for this (neither I can accept any sort of money for doing this according to the law) and while my imagination knows little boundaries, even I might eventually run out of ideas… (Ideas at 30% and falling!)

-Forgotten shock trooper: I don't kill the zombies! I'm friend with zombies, there is also one flying skull called Morte which is my friend. (Extra points if you get the reference)

-The stone tiger: "Hey! I'll survive, this is No one Gets left behind and not No one Gets eaten by Thanators!"

That's right, show 'em Rick!

Time for me to go…
