Morning came and the three of us were getting prepared to link. Grace, Norm and Trudy were waiting for us to finished.

"I'm proud of ya Sullys, you deserve to be part of that clan"

Trudy said and Jake gave her a proud grin. Tom and Norm shook hands "I must admit Tom, I'm jealous" Norm admitted with a grin "Don't take this personally. I don't want to have enemies. Just when I am going to be initiated" Tom joked.

Grace watched them interact and felt a sense of pride knowing they would finally be initiated and finally become part of the clan after everything they have been through.

She only wished that the RDA won't ruin this.

~oOo~

Once I was linked to my avatar, I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Tsu'tey looming over me with an irritated expression.

"Why must you be late in this day?"

I rolled my eyes before sitting up on my nivi and glaring at him " No need to get upset over that hot head. We still have a few hours before -" Tsu'tey pulled me up before I could finish before dragging me towards where the weavers are.

"We must get you ready before the final test!"

~oOo~

It took a long time for me to be prepared and I saw Jake and Neytiri with Ni'nat and Tom. They were all heading towards an underground spiral root.

Tsu'tey came and his eyes roamed to my figure before grasping me by the hand "Let us go, we must get you painted" I let him drag me to where Jake, Neytiri, Tom and Ni'nat were.

Tsu'tey held up a clay bowl with white liquid. I paled "Do not tell me that stuff is going to my face" I heard Jake chuckle "Its going to be in your whole body sis and to tell you the truth, Its Cold" A whack came followed by Neytiri mumbling out "Skxawng"

Tsu'tey dipped his two fingers and slowly started to paint me. You know what I feel? I feel like a canvass being displayed in front of the artist to put blotches on me.

Yet, Tsu'tey's touch was soothing and more than once I found myself shuddering which Tsu'tey reacted by tensing up before continuing with an intense gaze.

Is it me or is the place starting to get hot?

I mentally shook my head and almost sighed in relief once Tsu'tey finally finished painting me. He stood up as did I, Jake and Tom were already heading towards an entrance to a small, dim lighted room and I followed after them.

Tsu'tey, Neytiri and Ni'nat weren't far behind as they watched us stand in the center of the circle of Na'vi. Mo'at started speaking some Na'vi ritual language which I don't know but I could tell it is important. Forcing back a shudder, I opened my mouth as did Jake and Tom when Mo'at placed glowworms on our mouths.

Don't Spit It Out!

I mentally had that mantra for at least two minutes before I felt pain wrack over my body and my vision start to blur. I could hear Jake and Tom screaming like me in pain and I wondered if a Na'vi ever died in a Dream Hunt. I suddenly gasped when flashes of colors came and I fond myself standing somewhere in a forest.

The scent of smoke and death filled my nose and chills ran up to my spine. I heard the mighty roar of a toruk and I blindly tried to find the source only to stumble upon something that might give any child a nightmare.

A barren wasteland was all I could see along with dead bodies and the smoke was emitting from it. The roar sounded much closer now, I looked up and saw the toruk flying above the ashes of Pandora.

The last thing I remembered was the toruk's angered and mighty roar before I was brought back from my Dream Hunt.

I gasped and shuddered as my vision blurred and I saw the swirling faces of the Na'vi before they sharpened up and I saw Mo'at's face.

"It is done"

She spoke and I sighed with relief that this was over. Jake groaned and Tom staggered to his feet "Worst hangover ever..." Tom mumbled as he steadied himself.

I shook my head and slowly stood up. Mo'at and Eytukan motioned us to head up to the roots of the tree and we slowly walked up with pride.

~oOo~

Grace and the other Na'vi waited for the triplets to come out from their Dream Hunt and then all Na'vi stood up as Emersyn walked out first followed by her two brothers.

She felt a burst of pride as the Omatikaya welcomed the three with open hearts and smiles. When she first saw Tom's siblings, she had thought they were just like the others who wanted nothing more but to destroy everything for money.

She had thought wrong.

And for that she was proud.

~oOo~

Though Tom was happy that he and his siblings had finally been accepted in the clan, it did not help the dread that spread through him.

"What is wrong ma yawne?"

Ni'nat's concerned voice broke through his stupor and he smiled "It is nothing, I am just concerned that now we are part of the Omatikaya. The sawtute will take this to their advantage and I can't let that happen" Ni'nat blinked "What are you going to do?" Tom looked at Ni'nat.

"I shall try to find a way to know the plans of the tawtute and then I shall come back for you"

Ni'nat lay her head on his chest "Be careful my Tom. I don't want you dead" Tom smiled and nuzzled her head "If I am not back, tell my brother and sister. I know they will do something about this" Ni'nat nodded before speaking.

"Let us worry when dawn comes for tonight until the moon sets down, you are mine"

~oOo~

Jake and Neytiri were having their own special moment as they made their way towards the Tree of Voices.

Jake knew that Neytiri and Tsu'tey were betrothed to be mates but damn! He couldn't help but fall in love with the firey huntress.

Jake was amazed once he intertwined his tswin to the vines of a tree. Laughter and voices filled his ears. Jake blinked "I can hear them" Neytiri quickly added her tswin and Jake held back a shudder as the tendrils lightly brushed against each other.

"They live Jake, within Eywa" Neytiri explained as Jake looked at her. She lightly touched his chest where his heart rested "You are now Omatikaya, you may make your bow from the wood of Hometree" Neytiri's eyes darkened as she turned away "And you may choose a woman"

An atokirina floated down and Neytiri held out her hand for the woodsprite to land on "We have many fine women, Ni'nat is the best singer" Jake paused "I dont want Ni'nat and you must know that Tom is already staking claims on her" Neytiri smiled as she lightly blew the atokirina away.

"Peyral is...a good hunter"

Peyral was no stranger to Jake. She was the NA'vi woman who led him and his siblings in their first hunting party and needless to say, Jake was impressed as was Tom (to which Ni'nat did not take it lightly and almost forced her father to train her as a huntress if Emersyn hadn't knock some sense into Tom) and it was quite obvious Peyral was attracted to Jake. She had been giving him flirtatious stares and sometimes brushes herself closer to Jake.

"Yeah she is a good hunter..."

Jake commented and Neytiri turned her head towards him with a sad expression plastered on her beautiful face. Jake opened his mouth to talk but his words were caught in his throat. Before he could chicken out, Emersyn's angered face popped in Jake's mind.

"Are you a man or a wimp?! Have some balls and just go for it! It's gonna kill you to say it skxawng!"

What the heck?! It was almost as if she was speaking to him!

"I've already chosen"

Jake finally spoke as he gazed longingly at Neytiri who had a stunned expression on her face before a smile was slowly forming "But this woman must also choose me" There he said it!

Neytiri's face broke into a smile "She already has" Almost as if the world faded behind them, the two Na'vi expressed their love and longing for one another not only spiritually but physically as well.

~oOo~

Behind the vines of the Tree of Voices, I watched the two with a wide grin before fist pumping the air. Jake finally did it! And here I thought he would chicken out and I would have to straighten up his ass before another love drama would come.

I walked away just as things were about to get heated. Tsu'tey met me along the way "Come, I have something to show you" I obediently followed him with a questionable look on my face. What was he going to show me?

We jumped across branches and vines until the Grace's old school came to view and Tsu'tey sat down on the brach and I sat down beside him as I eyed the schoolhouse.

"Why are we..."

"This is the place where I met you"

Tsu'tey explained and my eyes widen in surprise, no wonder I felt eyes on me as soon as we saw the school.

"What were you doing there?"

"Patrolling, someone sighted your flying metal ikran"

I nodded "What were you thinking back then?" He turned to me "To kill you" Typical Tsu'tey, always kill those unknown to you or you know that is a danger to your home.

"But you confuse me"

I looked at him in shock "What?" He sighed and gave me an annoyed look "You confuse me. I hated and was fascinated by your curiosity as if you never seen such..." He trailed off as he made a gesture to the Pandora Forest.

"Our world is dying Tsu'tey" I stated plainly. Tsu'tey didn't say anything so I continued "When I first came here, I was hoping I'd get it things done here and maybe find a place to wait myself to death" Tsu'tey whirled around and looked at me, his eyes widen for a fraction as he tried not to show it.

"I lost my will to live when my family split apart and I had been living like the shell of who I was until I came here"

Tsu'tey didn't say anything but he did tense up "Now you are Omatikaya, will you fight against us or with us?" I looked at him and opened my mouth to talk when I froze.

Unbearable pain seared in my head and I groaned and clutched my head in agony. Tsu'tey jumped up and steadied me "What's wrong?"

Tom...

Something happened to Tom!

I jumped up and pushed Tsu'tey away before bounding towards the singer's alcove.

~oOo~

I stumbled upon Ni'nat as my vision blurred and found myself getting sleepy. Ni'nat gasped at my face "What has befallen on you?" I barely managed to mumble out "Tom in trouble" before I blacked out.

~oOo~

The link pod burst open and I gasped out and curled myself Intl a ball. I looked to Jake's link pod to see him awake but his face was contorted to pain before it calmed.

The pain also cleared and that was when I began to panic. I shook Trudy awake and she gave me an annoyed glare.

"Its too early to wake up. You got a problem or something?"

"Where's Tom?!"

Trudy yawned, sat up and rubbed her eyes and I was getting impatient.

"Tom left to head back to headquarters. What's wrong?"

"Something happened to Tom and I'm going to find out what happened"

Trudy was aide awake now and was already putting on her exo pack. I wasted no time following her and we headed back to base with Trudy flying fast as she could.

~oOo~

I sneak my way in as RDA soldiers came and patrolled around the base. I made my way over to Selfridge's office and slammed the dope opened with a scowl.

Selfridge jumped from his paper work and turned to my fuming form "If it isn't the female Sully" I slammed my hands on the table.

"What have you done to my brother!?"

Selfridge blinked before realization crossed his face "Oh, you mean the scientist that tried to stop me from my plans" I tensed up and an uneasy feeling fell on me.

"What plans?"

"The dozers are gonna take down the hostiles sacred place, The Tree of Voice or whatnot"

I turned to see Quaritch come out of the shadows. I gaped in shock before rage took over and I charged at him.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH?!"

Using all the lessons I had learned from my assassin training and from my mother, I drew a swift punch and a kick in a gut before Quaritch could regain himself.

I jabbed Selfridge just before he weakly tried to punch me. Quaritch immediately called reinforcements and it didn't take long for them to overpower me.

I glared as they held me down and Quaritch wiped the blood on his lip while Selfridge tried to regain his breathing.

"I must admit, you are much tougher than that weasel of a brother of yours"

He held up a sleeping gas gun in my face "Too bad you had to raise your hand to me" He pulled the trigger and I had to force myself not to breathe but to no avail.

"Go...to...Hell.."

That was the last thing I spoke before my world once again went dark.
