Chapter 13: Tsamsiyu's Txe'lan- Part 1
3 Weeks Later…
"Listen closely, everyone," called the leader of the Sky People, Commander Irwin. Her near white, pale blonde hair put up in a ponytail never fell in front of her deep ocean blue eyes or covered her smug smirk that never seemed to leave her face. Near the whole military crew and even the scientists were sitting in the meeting room, waiting intently to hear what exactly was going on. "We're all fighting for our lives now." She brought down a screen. "As a fact, the blue savages out there are planning for an attack on this base. Now, we know from others before us that the Na'vi protect this tree," Irwin called up a picture of a tree similar looking to the Utral txe'lanyä only a lot larger and seeming a lot older. "But they say this tree the Na'vi believe is protected by their goddess. It's called the Tree of Souls and if we destroy it, we destroy them. So we're going to bomb that place to hell and be ready to destroy those Na'vi if they dare try to get in our way. Is that clear?"
"Yes, ma'am!" the soldiers agreed, though a few scientists seemed a little on edge and not with the plan.
"Good, now go get ready for preparations. We're taking off a O-six hundred tomorrow," Irwin told them sternly. "Get ready and remember it's our life or theirs." They all left for their own areas of duty.
. . .
Acala and Akiza were scouting the base again without being seen. They had done this everyday for the past three weeks to ensure no surprises. Suddenly, though, a voice called from behind them in Na'vi, "Hello?"
The two flipped behind them and looked to see two Sky People in their Na'vi bodies. "Who are you?" Acala asked sternly.
"We're a couple scientists from the base. We need to warn you of something," one female one told them and they gave them waiting looks. "Our commander, Commander Irwin, is planning on attacking your Vitraya Ramunong tomorrow morning."
"Why tell us?" Akiza asked.
"Because what she's doing is wrong. We all know it but most are too afraid to try to stop it. So please, be ready to respond tomorrow morning. Warn your people before it's too late. We don't want you to lose what you hold most dear," the other, a male, explained.
"And how do we know we can trust you?" Acala asked.
"Coming out here to warn you says everything, doesn't it? If we were found out that we were warning you, we would be either locked up or killed," the female replied. "Please, listen to us. You need to prepare to fight back fast. You don't have time to debate us telling the truth."
"Warn your people before it's too late," the male repeated.
"We will," Akiza agreed telling that they weren't lying. They quickly ran off with that. Acala and his mate nodded at each other before hurrying back to Tekumseh and the others.
When they arrived, they told Tekumseh and Neytiri what had happened and what the two Avatars had said. Neytiri seemed to believe the humans and with his mother believing them, Tekumseh knew it had to be true. They couldn't afford to wait anymore the final battle was coming fast and they needed to hurry and prepare for it. They had one day to prepare for war.
Next Morning…
Everything was in place: every ground warrior had been expertly hidden while all of the ikrans and their partners had been cloaked in the stormy clouds. What a tragedy that the Sky People had planned their attack on a rainy day when there was convenient cloud coverage for them to hide in. And how horrible for the Sky People would it be when they realized that the very land they were walking by was not only plants: it was camouflaged Na'vi warriors hiding among the trees with their wooden weapons disguised as branches.
When the Sky People walked into their trap, they would be caught totally off guard due to the Flux Vortex, as the Sky People called it, that the Tree of Souls produced and then the combined force of the two hidden forces. They, literally and figuratively, wouldn't see it coming before it was too late.
Suddenly, the forest went silent, and the low thrum of machinery could be heard, getting closer and closer to the hidden Na'vi. The sounds of clunky Mecha suits and the thumping of helicopter blades steadily grew closer and closer until they were almost upon the crouching warriors. They all stilled until the first soldiers came into view, then they all ever so slowly drew their bows, taking care to stay in a position that hid them.
They waited until Jack and Leo gave a near inaudible signal, only heard by the Na'vi because of their sensitive hearing. On that mark, the several hundred of them took their aim, and fired at their targets. The result: a synchronized twang of bows firing and several screams of pain and shock from their impaled targets.
The battle had begun, and there was no turning back.
While the Na'vi warriors closest to the soldiers blew their cover to begin fighting up close and personal, others chose to keep their cover and act as snipers, or, when the time came, reinforcements. With the combined might of their scarily accurate archers and the innate strength and agility of the ground warriors, the first wave of patrolling Sky People was easily overcome with very few deaths on Na'vi side.
Before the next wave of humans could arrive, they all went back to their hiding places to repeat the same process as before. Hopefully, they could keep this process going without being caught for at least half of the battle, although, they would have to move places in order to lower suspicions. The familiar hiss of machinery and thrashing of people forcing their way through the underbrush met their ears, and they all tensed, pulling their bow strings taut, and set eyes on their targets. And then…
More screams of pain, more crashing as the Na'vi charged at them, more deaths, more silence that was only interrupted by their panting and plants rustling as they took their places again.
This was repeated once more before they had to move farther down in the jungle. At this point, it was starting to sicken many warriors: this wasn't a battle, it was a slaughter. They just hoped that the humans could actually put up a fight next time.
However, they soon regretted those words because the next wave was so much larger than the last ones, and when it came time for the warriors to drop down and attack the humans head on, there was a mighty struggle between the two forces. While the Na'vi had the home field advantage, natural grace, agility, and strength, the Sky People had more advanced technology, better weapons, and no morales to get in the way. Things were about to look bleak for those on the ground.
As the Na'vi ran closer to the humans to strike them with their bows, they became an easier target for their guns and mecha suits. For every human they managed to take down with their crude weapons, another Na'vi's life was lost, and for each mecha suit they defeated, two more ground warriors were fallen. It would have been worse if it wasn't for the hidden archers that were providing cover fire.
After several minutes of avoiding bullets and robotic limbs, the Na'vi had finally been able to reduce the size of the group to half a dozen, and it was only a matter of time before they were picked off. However, they were interrupted by another wave of humans stumbling upon their fight. Instantly, the humans rushed to the others' aid, thus joining the fight. It seemed as if their plan of repetitive ambushes would not work anymore; for soon they would be overwhelmed and be forced to call in reinforcements.
Jack was actually debating calling his ikran from the clouds, which would signal to the rest of the Na'vi that step two of their plan needed to go into effect. He decided against it, for they wanted to wait until the helicopters came into view before they would spring that part of the plan into effect. Although, from the look of the battle right now, they would need reinforcements, if not from Tekumseh and the others, then from the archers in the trees.
As the battle weared on, more groups of humans joined the battling ones, which just added onto the number of humans that were threatening to overwhelm them with every moment. Just when Jack feared that he may have to call in the aerial warriors sooner than planned, he heard and saw a few helicopters make their way to the ongoing battle. He gave a relieved sigh as he dodged a mecha suit's punch.
"Hang in there! Just a little longer!" Jack bellowed, his words echoing across the field.
