The Na'vi people waited as Jake, Tom and I cried and mourned for our friend. Jake stood up with closed eyes before taking a deep breath and opened his eyes.

An inner fire sprouted from within him and I could almost taste its burn through the bond.

Jake held out his hand for Neytiri to take and turned to Tsu'tey "With your permission, I will speak now. You do me the honor of translating" Tsu'tey nodded as Jake turned to the people and spoke.

"The Sky People have sent us a message, that they could take whatever they want"

Dread fell all the more as Jake said those words and I was about to step up and five him a piece of my mind when he suddenly spoke.

"But we will send them a message, you ride out as fast as the wind can carry you."

I saw the beginnings of a smile in Tsu'tey though it was more feral than I thought. Hope bloomed across the hearts of the people as they began hollering.

"You tell the other clans to come, tell them Toruk Makto calls to them"

Brief glances at me came and I stepped up beside Jake, a feral grin beginning to form.

"Will you fly now? With me?, my brothers, sisters?"

The hollering grew and Tom looked at Jake with pride as Ni'nat clutched him while smiling at Jake.

"And we will show the Sky People, that they cannot take whatever they want and that this...THIS IS OUR LAND"

At that final statement loud cheers came and I let loose a loud roar of delight as the familiar adrenaline I had as an assassin beginning to pump within me.

Jake clasped Neytiri's hand as the two raced across the Omatikaya with Tsu'tey and I following behind. The Na'vi parted like a blue sea as the two toruks landed in front of us.

Neytiri stopped to let Jake connect his tswin before he stretched out his hand to her which she gladly took. I hopped on to my toruk before connecting my tswin and together, the toruks let out mighty roars as they flew up.

Tsu'tey was not far behind me and we both gave each other feral grins as we flew through dawn to the clans.

~oOo~

The Horse Clan of the Plains were Na'vi that rarely have an ikran to ride with but they have strong pa'lis that could run very fast.

Out arrival had struck awe and fear as Jake and I landed in the entrance of their tribe. Many had bows, spears and arrows in their hands and looked like they were ready to take aim when Tsu'tey called.

"Mawey ma tsmukan, ma tsmuke!"

Their clan leader stepped in, his eyes wary but filled with respect. Jake stood up and the two conversed in rapid English and Na'vi.

The people eyed the toruks then at Jake and me as if the couldn't comprehend two Toruk Maktos here in their clan.

Jake started to inform them about the oncoming attack the Sky People will bring to the Tree of Souls which gave growls and hisses from the people and I could tell it upset the clan leader too.

With a loud bellow he growled out a "Maktoko!" And the while clan burst with whoops and cheers as they ran to their pa'li to run back to the Tree of Souls.

Though most of the Omatikaya and the other Na'vi warriors already left for Tree of Souls, their clan leader insisted on letting us stay for the night.

Jake yawned and gave him thanks before he and Neytiri went inside a vacant tent. One Na'vi showed me my own place to sleep and I thanked her before going in.

As I was about to go to sleep, I was shocked to see Tsu'tey entering the tent "Shouldn't you be with the others?" I asked, gesturing to the outside where the Na'vi were already leaving.

Tsu'tey snorted "I'm not going to let you sleep unprotected" So he does care!

I rolled to my side and spoke sleepily "Well, if you plan on protecting me tonight then I suggest you also sleep yourself. No point in wasting your energy" I closed my eyes and felt Tsu'tey beside me before I unlinked myself.

~oOo~

Tom could still feel the adrenaline pumping through him which made him unable to sleep. Ni'nat sat up and looked at him and he gave her an apologetic look.

"I apologize my yawne, my siblings are keeping me awake"

Ni'nat giggled before letting her fingers touch his shoulders "Then let me massage you to sleep" Tom moaned as her fingers expertly rubbed the tense parts of his muscles and purred.

"Remind me to let you do this to me..."

Ni'nat giggled, her Tom rarely speaks direct English to her, he really was distracted! A yawn bubbled from within him before Tom sank back to sleep.

Ni'nat giggled again, Tom was right. She should do this to him lots more.

~oOo~

The triplets stepped out of their link chambers with somber expressions. They saw Norm and Trudy holding pictures of Grace and we all watched through each one.

One was of her as a scientist and her first day of work in Pandora.

One was her in her avatar with a feral like grin on her face.

And the other one was a group picture with her and all Na'vi of the Omatikaya, a content smile on her face.

By now we all pinned them to the walls of the shack and I bit my lip to stop another round of tears falling.

Tom rested his hand on my shoulder, a serious look on his face as he spoke, his voice firm and controlled.

"Grace died trying protect the Na'vi now its out turn to finish what she started"

We all nodded with determination as we went into our respective bunks to sleep.

~oOo~

We all woke up early as we showered, ate our breakfast and linked up although I had to have a quick stop to change the bandages of my bullet wound.

I woke up to hear the whole clan bustling and Tsu'tey was not around. I walked out and saw him with Jake and the Horse Clan's Leader talking.

I walked up to them "Hey Jake, where's Neytiri?" Jake smiled and pointed to the direction of the tent he and Neytiri shared. I nodded at Tsu'tey who nodded back and I entered the tent to find Neytiri.

A glow was sprouting within her as she greeted me. I raised a brow and her tanhi glowed very bright and my eyes widen.

"Please tell me you two did not..." I was really trying hard not to imagine Jake and Neytiri in THAT position. Sure I saw them kiss and connect their tswin but they only did half part of the mating process.

I smiled before speaking "Let's go, we have more work to do" The sound of our toruks came coupled by many Na'vi screaming.

Jake greeted Neytiri with a quick kiss which I gagged and he glared playfully at me while to stuck my tongue out. Connecting my tswin to my toruk, Jake and I flew towards the Eastern Sea with a few Na'vi following us.

~oOo~

I find it amusing we had the same reaction with the Ikran People of the Eastern Sea. Just as soon as we swooped down, many Na'vi had scrambled away only to look at us in awe.

When Jake asked who their leader was, I had to jab him in the stomach to make sure he didn't do something moronic when their clan leader was a female.

Regaining his composure, Jake spoke towards the crowd with Neytiri speaking in Na'vi. We got the same reaction of the people before, many were scowling and hooting out their anger to the Sky People.

It also didn't surprise me when their leader immediately screamed out to join Jake in defeating the Sky People.

I grinned and gave a yell out along them. Since most of the Na'vi had recruited the rest of the clans, it was time for us to head home.

We sailed to the Hallelujah Mountains with Neytiri howling with joy on Jake's back. The rest of the Na'vi were right behind us.

~oOo~

Tom rubbed his head as he stared at the vast amount of Na'vi that were continuously growing by the day. Sheesh, this was more he had expected from his siblings when they said to bring the clans together.

"If more will come, we may have a chance in outnumbering the RDA"

Ni'nat smiled and beamed at Tom's words as she kissed his cheek "Does this mean we may have a chance to survive ma Tom?" Tom grinned at her.

"We may have a chance to live"
