Again I love you all! And I hope you drink some water and grab a bite of food!
Here we go!!
Gunfire was all I could hear, and as everything came into view my heart stops, I'm standing on the inside of one of the sky people ships, huge pallets of explosives are lined up and men are standing around them, all with guns, and the hatch door is wide open, my eyes widen when I see Ikrans flying everywhere outside, the men shooting at them every now and then when they got too close, but suddenly I see multiple Na'vi trying to board the ship.
My heart drops to the pit of my stomach as Tsu'tey suddenly comes into view, leaping onto the lowered door after shooting one of the men killing him instantly, but as he attacks the others one man pulls his gun up and shoots, sending Tsu'tey stumbling back before rolling off and out of the ship, I try to scream, to do anything to get at him but I cant move or make a sound, all I can do is watch as he falls and disappears into the forest below...
I wake up in a cold sweat, shaking and gasping with tears running down my face, I'm alone in the hammock and its just after sunrise, I get out of it quickly, wiping my tears away before going to look for Tsu'tey, I had to tell him about the dream, I couldn't let him die today. I soon find him helping to prepare the other warriors, I come up quickly and quietly ask to speak with him, he agrees and we move away from the crowds, I grab his arm shakily "Tsutey, you cannot fight today, please" I beg, he looks shocked and confused, laying his hand on my arm "Rose what is this all about?" He asks, I frown shakily "I saw your death, in my dream, you died and I could do nothing about it" I say quickly "You can't fight, or youll die today before the sun sets"
He frowns more "your dream...we cannot know if it is true" he says softly, I shake my head "no, I know its true, every dream Ive had since coming here has told the future, please, please dont go" I plead, he sighs softly "I must, I am the chief, I cannot leave our people to die while I hide" he says softly, my heart sinks before lowering my head and nodding softly, knowing I couldn't convince him I make up my mind, I was going to fly with him to ensure he is safe, I look back up to him "then you must promise me you wont jump into the sky peoples ships, that's how you died in my dream, promise me that" I say seriously, he sighs but nods "alright, I promise, but now I must go speak with Jakesully, we will be leaving for the coming battle in one hour, please be ready" he says softly, I sigh but nod softly, he gently grips my upper arm to try and calm me a bit, he even smiles a little genuine smile "we will make it through this" he says comfortingly and kisses my forehead, I smile a little and nod "we will, ill make sure we do" I say softly before he nods and heads off, I sigh again, knowing this wouldnt go well.
I go to join the other warriors, grabbing my bow and a good amount of arrows before I put on war paint, drawing long white lines down my arms and back, orange lines down my neck and a white circle over my heart, small dark blue lines coming off the circle, once i finish the paint I braid up the rest of my hair and adorn it with a few beads and feathers, I sigh softly, trying to calm my racing heart as I look out over the thousands of warriors, after a few moments lost in thought I get an idea and move back to the face paint, taking some black and painting it across my eyes and bridge of my nose.
Soon I return to my small hammock next to the tree of souls, feeding my Ikran before pulling my bow over my shoulder and tying the arrows to my hip, I quietly go and speak with Mo'at, asking her to pray to Eywa to protect us and give us the help we will need, she smiles softly and tells me we couldn't hope for her help unless the balance of this world was in danger, I nod sadly and thank her for everything before I return to my Ikran, I hop on her and we fly up above the tree of souls, gliding a little as I look down at the many people under us, I softly pat my Ikrans neck softly "this will be a hell of a day..." i murmur softly before landing us on a large root above some of the groups quietly, just watching everyone.
Before I know it, me and the rest of the warriors take flight, flying up into the floating mountains, I carefully land my Ikran against the wall with the others as Jake, Neytiri and Tsu'tey fly up above the mountains, waiting to see where the humans would first appear, and soon I can hear the sound of large ships making their way toward us, I take a deep breath in "Eywa protect us" I whisper softly, my Ikran softly purrs and I pat her neck as I watch below us, the sounds of the ships engines getting louder.
I close my eyes for the last moment of peace I knew I'd get for a while before I look up as I hear Jake and the others flying down between the mountains we were on, I glance down to see the massive cargo ship under us surrounded by the smaller ships, I gulp as Jake signals to attack, Tsu'tey yelling out as well before we drop, descending quickly onto the ships and attacking, many ships going down quickly, I loose an arrow into a pilot and his ship drops quickly before I pull up and start flying around the other ships, continuing to shoot arrow after arrow, hitting many of the gunners and pilots or the engines of the ships, my heart races as all I can hear is chaos, yelling and guns shooting and the engines of the ships.
I cant help but let tears fall as I see so many of my people and their Ikrans falling, killed or injured by the guns, I growl angrily and fly towards the main gunship, shooting an arrow into one of the gunners, before my eyes widen as the ships start to let off their rockets, explosions soon filling the air, more and more of my people being killed, but I see the main gunship noticing Jake and they start to follow him, shooting round after round at him to try and kill him, I quickly dive but before I can reach them I smile as Trudy comes into view, shooting at the ship as she flys over it before getting in its way, they lose sight of Jake so they start to go after her, she dodges between rocks and the huge vines, I laugh as she gets a few more shots at them into the cock pit but my heart sinks as her ship is soon shot full of holes and she starts to go down, I quickly dive down and after her ship, as I fall her ship lights on fire as it goes down faster, I quickly have my Ikran grab the ship with her feet and latch onto one of the rocks with her claws, I can tell its straining her badly but I jump down onto the hood of her ship and break the glass, grabbing an oxygen mask and Trudy, ripping the seatbelpt off her before jumping back onto my Ikran as she screech's, dropping the ship, I carefully help Trudy put the mask on quickly before having her sit on my Ikrans saddle, I carefully sit behind her and take off again, falling down and away from the main gunship, I pull us up and back toward the cargo ship, my heart racing as I remember my dream.
Everything turns to slow motion as I see someone falling from the ships back hatch, my breath catches as I see his markings, it was Tsu'tey falling "NO!" I scream, diving down after him as fast as I could, dodging between the trees, I see his body on the ground soon being swarmed by the human soldiers, I pull up and quickly hide against a tree, keeping hold of Trudy so she wouldnt fall as I cautiously watch the soldiers, one moving closer to Tsu'tey with his gun raised, I couldn't keep silent so I yell, loosing an arrow at him and it plunges through the man, securing him to the ground, the other men quickly start shooting towards us but I move us behind a bigger tree, but not soon after they all stop, something else catching their attention.
I glance around the tree and to my great astonishment and glee a heard of the Hammerheads Titanothere are charging the men, slamming into the ones in mech suits and crushing them, easily killing many of the men, as soon as they pass I fly down to Tsu'tey, my heart racing as we land and I leap off my Ikran, leaving Trudy there as I rush to his side, shaking "Tsu'tey!" I nearly scream, my hands shaking as I stand and grab a few leaves and herbs I could see before returning, carefully but shakily trying to cover the gunshot wounds covering his torso, he coughs and grabs my arm to try and stop me, tears streaming down my face "Rose...stop, there's nothing you c-can do" he says shakily.
I shake my head "shut up! I'm going to help you! Your going to survive" I cry, crushing up some of the herbs and carefully pressing them into the wounds, at least getting some of the bleeding to stop, he growls in pain and his grip on my arm tightens "Rose..." he coughs again, I shake my head, filling every hole I could see before looking around us, knowing it wasn't safe to stay here, I stand and carefully get him up, getting him leaning on me as I drag him to my Ikran, I shakily lay him over her back carefully as Trudy moved to the ground, I look him over again, my whole body shaking.
I take a deep breath to try and calm myself before I pick up Trudy, knowing my Ikran couldn't carry us all, I link my queue to her, shivering at the slight shock of pain for a moment, I order her to follow after me from the air, I softly pat her neck and make sure Tsu'tey was secure before I take off running back towards the Tree of Souls, knowing it was his best bet at survival.
I run along the ground for a while, Trudy had moved to my back to hold on so I could use both arms, getting there fast, my Ikran following me from above but she stays within the trees so as to not be shot down, once at the tree I set Trudy down and my Ikran lands, Mo'at coming over as I shakily get Tsu'tey off my Ikrans back and onto the ground, I look to Mo'at, tears in my eyes "please help him" I plead shakily, she nods and moves in, a few of the others that had stayed behind from the war came to help as well as they start to clean and dress his wounds as fast as they could, I stand by my Ikran for a while as I watch before Jumping back onto her "I have to help finish this war" I say shakily, looking to Trudy "stay here, youll be safest here" I say before we take off again, my heart racing, I fly up quickly and smile a little as I see how many wild Ikrans had joined in the fight, Eywa had heard our prayers.
My smile only grows as I watch the cargo ship go down, one of its engines exploding, I raise my bow and whoop in victory, we had taken down the bomber, but the main gunship was still flying, I fly towards it quickly, flying through the huge ploom of smoke and fire from the cargo ship, my eyes widen when I see an explosion hit that ship as well, its engine blowing up and a figure dropping from it, I dive down only for a sudden white hot pain to surge through me as one of the gunships had snuck up behind me and shot me, getting me through my left leg and shoulder, I scream and fall, my Ikran dropping from under me as she had been shot as well, I fall down through the trees, not being able to catch myself on any plants I brace for impact.
But instead I'm suddenly scooped up by my Ikran, she had just enough strength to open her wings wide and we glide shakily to the ground, crashing into a few fallen logs and rocks, I whimper in pain and get up, stumbling to her as she whines tiredly, I fall to my knees and pet her head softly "shhhh its ok, your safe" I whisper, my voice breaking "you did well, thank you" I say shakily, softly kissing her head as she purrs softly, her eyes slowly closing before she goes limp, her breathing faltering to a stop, tears fill my eyes as I softly stroke her head.
I say a soft prayer over her before standing, I look up seeing as the main gunship explodes and crashes not far away, I go to grab my bow but it had been crushed, I sigh and grab the arrows before making my way towards where I had seen the person falling, only to hear a loud crash behind me, I quickly hide behind a tree, only to hear a mech quickly making its way towards me, I hold my breath, covering my mouth as it passes before I silently follow it, climbing up into the trees and keeping out of its sight.
The mech seems to pause as we get into a clearing, my heart plummets seeing the small research pod there, I stand and am just about to jump down to stop him before I hear someone running towards us, my eyes widen when I see Neytiri riding on the back of the Thanator, I watch in shock as she attacks the mech, turning him just enough that I can see who the Pilot is, my blood boils as I see its Quaritch.
She continues attacking him as he try's to fight them off, but they manage to slam him to the ground and break the huge gun to pieces, he grabs a huge knife as he stands and she attacks only for him to grab the Thanator mid jump and stab her multiple times, I gasp and he tosses them away, trapping Neytiri underneath the Thanator, she hisses at Quaritch and he holds the knife up to attack, I stand but Jake soon drops down from a tree, catching Quaritches attention, they speak for a moment before they start to fight, I jump down and try to help Neytiri out from under the creature, I look up when I hear glass crashing, Quaritch had thrown the knife at the pod only to break its glass, my heart sinks, praying it would hold but Quaritch quickly follows and breaks the glass fully, smashing one of the link pods, I scream to try and get his attention but he ignores me.
I see Jake attack him and get him away from the pod so I continue to help move the Thanator, knowing I didnt have my bow, I finaly help get it off her and she rushes for her bow, I toss her an arrow just as Quaritch is holding Jake up my his braid and queue, my eyes widen as I watch Neytiri shoot perfectly, hitting the monster of a human in the chest, before she takes another of my arrows and shoots him a second time, just for good measure, she runs to Jake while I run to Quaritch, breaking the mech open more and rolling it onto its back, I pull the arrows from his body to make sure he was really dead, my whole body shaking from rage, pain and adrenaline.
I look back to Neytiri only to see Jake wasn't moving or breathing, my eyes widen and I look to the pod with her, we both run for the pod, she climbs in and I follow, my heart sinking seeing Jake laying in the glass on the ground not breathing, she picks him up and try's to wake him, I quickly grab one of the masks from the emergency spots before coming to her and helping her put it on him, and after a few moments of the air pumping into the mask he gasps and struggles for a moment before fitting it and sealing it properly.
I sigh in relief, shaking and I climb out of the pod for a moment, letting them have some privacy as I stumble into the grass, blood had soaked my entire left side from the gunshots but I hadn't noticed them much until now as the adrenaline was wearing off, I wince in pain and sit down against a tree shakily, my vision starting to blur and darken, Neytiri climbs out of the pod but all I can see is blurs of blue and green before passing out cold.
I open my eyes slowly, sitting up as I look around myself only to see whiteness as far as I can see, I look around and stand before the voice of Eywa speaks loudly "you have done well, you have helped save our people, your people, the last of the sky people are going to be sent off our world" I sigh softly and relax, smiling sadly "then it is my time to come to you?" I ask softly but soon a tall figure appears infront of me, my eyes widen to see a Na'vi woman, but she looked so much like my mother from earth my heart leapt "no, you must return to them, you are not dead, only asleep, you have been bandaged and should be healed in a few weeks, but I wished to tell you I am proud, you have done more than I expected of you and I am proud of you for that" I smile as tears stream down my face, I kneel down infront of her "I could not have done it without your help Mother" I say softly, she kneels down with me and places her hand on my head, I close my eyes and relax a little "now you must return, they are waiting for you" she says softly before fading, everything soon going black.
I groan softly as the sun soon shines in my eyes, I try to turn over only to gasp in pain, I stop moving and look around confused, I was back in camp, alone in a hammock, I sit up, wincing as I do so and look around more, seeing many warriors being tended to, many injured but alive, I slowly stand, only to fall back into the hammock, the pain in my leg not letting me stand for long, I sigh softly before slowly standing again, putting as little weight as possible on my wounded leg, I stumble awkwardly towards one of the groups only to hear a yell behind me, I turn to see Jake, I smile as he runs up to me, I gasp and wince as he pulls me into a bear hug "your going to make me bleed out idiot!" I laugh, hugging him back.
He helps me down to the Tree of Souls, I smile more seeing Trudy, Norm, Neytiri and Mo'at there, I greet them all happily but my heart starts to sink when I dont see Tsu'tey anywhere, I glance around a few times before looking to Mo'at sadly "is...is Tsu'tey alright?" I ask softly, dreading the answer but she smiles softly "he will be alright soon, he is resting as you have been, but he will live" she says, I sigh and relax, all tension leaving my body, he was alive, I had gotten him here in time, I join everyone in celebrations before the warriors who could still fight join Jake, Neytiri and Norm as they return to Hell's Gate to get rid of the rest of the sky people, sending them back to their dying world.
Over the next few days I help the others injured when I can, and when I cannot I stay by Tsu'teys sleeping form, helping take care of him, I sigh softly as I stand slowly, wincing a little, tonight was the night Jake became truly apart of the people, when he left his humans body behind, I smile at the thought before I look down to Tsu'tey, but I stiffen and my eyes widen when I realize he's looking back at me, tears fall as I go to his side quickly "your awake!" I nearly cry, kneeling next to his bed, he smiles tiredly, reaching up weakly and cupping my face softly with one hand, I lean into his touch and cover his hand with mine "you idiot" I choke out softly "I told you not to go on that damned ship" I say softly, he chuckles softly before coughing, I frown softly but he relaxes after a few moments.
"I had to stop them from shooting our people" he says softly, I smile and shake my head, tears still falling "I'm never going to let you live this down" I say softly "youll be making this up to me as soon as your well enough" I say softly, he smirks a little "and how would I do that?" He asks, I smile more "by becoming my mate" I say, his smile growing and he nods softly "I can do that" he murmurs.
Over the next few hours I tell him about everything that has happened, keeping him company before he decides to rest some more, I softly kiss his forehead before standing and going to watch Jakes ceremony, smiling as I stand just down from the place he's lying, just across from Neytiri and after a few moments of silence after everyone had stopped chanting and praying, his eyes open, everyone starts cheering and the festivities begin, all of the clans celebrating the true birth of the newest Toruk Makto.
