Jake and Ryan are walking in the forest, where there was light shining through the tree tops. Jake was leading Ryan to a certain place in the forest that will help tell the story.

"Where are we going?"

"You and your Captain want to know what has happened here right? Then I'll take you to the Colonel to show you." Jake replies.

Ryan was confused, but surprised, "The Colonel? Didn't he leave with the survivors?"

"No, he remains here for what he has done. He'll explain everything along with me."

Jake and Ryan are still walking, when Ryan notices a shack at a distance in front of them. But as they got closer, Ryan notices the side of it being smashed and opened wide.

"What happened here? Did something explode on the side of the shack?"

Ryan then notices a machine next to it.

"What's that doing there? It looks like it hasn't been used in months."

Jake then points at the machine, "There's the Colonel."

Ryan slowly walks by Jake and gets close to the machine and notices the decomposing corps of the Colonel with the two arrows still in him.

"Wow, definitely sucks to be him."

"When I first came to Pandora, he was the one who got me to work for the humans. He used me to get information to force the Na'vi to make a deal with the humans. I always wished the Na'vi got to me first rather than him. I was a fool to fall for his promise."

"And what did he promise you?"

"Before, I was paralyzed from the waste below. He said that if I got him the information the army needed to force the Na'vi to cooperate, he promised he would get my legs back. But I should've known what the consequences would be if I got very close to the Omaticaya."

"What do you mean consequences?"

"In order to get what he wanted, I would have to become one of the Na'vi and learn their ways to get them to trust me. I was beginning a new life during the three months he gave me to be with the Omaticaya. Soon I knew I was helping the enemy."

Ryan turns to look at Jake, "What was he going to do once he got what he sent you for?"

Jake looks down at the ground, "Before the Omaticaya lived in the village, they once lived in a giant tree, a bit far from here, they called it Hometree. It was a magnificent place."

Jake stops for a moment.

"What happened to Hometree? I'm guessing it's what started the war."

"Let's go back to the village." So I can take you to see what's left of Hometree."

A group of five warriors, Soleuri among them, and Jake are getting their Ikrans ready to fly, near a cliff side.

"What are we doing up here, aren't we going to Hometree and what are those creatures?"

"Obviously we're not going to walk there. We're going to fly since it's far from here by the help of our Ikrans."

Everyone was ready to fly.

Jake walks to Soleuri, "Soleuri you will take Ryan with you."

Soleuri looks at Jake shocked, "Wait what? No."

"Yes remember I put you in charge of him. You will take him with you on our way to the remains of Hometree."

Soleuri stayed silent and had an angry look on face look down.

Jake calls Ryan up, "Ryan, Soleuri here will take you on her Ikran to Hometree."

Ryan looks at Jake, "Wait what? She doesn't even like me."

Jake rolls his eyes, "Look, think of it as a way to know each other better and to get along."

Ryan looks down and then slowly at Soleuri. She looks at him too, but turns away.

"Alright so you get ready now, we're taking off now."

Ryan approaches Soleuri's Ikran, "So, how do I get on?"

Soleuri didn't bother to look at Ryan, "Come to the side of T'siguway's wing. Now, try and get your right leg over his back."

Ryan does as Soleuri told him to, and got behind Soleuri. Everyone was starting to take off flying towards one direction.

"Hang on now."

When Ryan put his hands above Soleuri's waist, she quickly elbowed him on the chest, "Ouch, what was that for?"

"Hold onto the side of my arms!"

Ryan held on and Soleuri got T'siguway to take off.

Everyone was flying together at a distance from each other towards one direction. Ryan was looking below him watching the tree sceneries. They were flying over the river and Ryan could see the Na'vi swimming and fishing in the lake near the village. Then they all started to go higher, flying by a mountain side. There were a few Ikrans flying by to get to their homes on the mountain side. But off from a distance on the top of the mountain surface he saw a Thanator walking among the tree, looking like it was stalking its pray. The group then started to go over what appeared to be some ancient ruins, where there were giant poles with strange creature designs on them, and also abandoned hut like houses which meant a Na'vi tribe once lived there. Ryan then notices a large empty space among the forest. There were what it appeared to be burned large branches and parts of a stomp which made it obvious there was once a large tree in the space. The group finally reached their destination. Once Soleuri got off of T'siguway's back, Ryan too got off.

Ryan walks towards Jake, "So what is this place? I thought we were heading to Hometree?"

"This is Hometree. At least what is left of it."

Ryan looks around, there were a few plants growing from what Ryan figured out to be ash on the ground. Everyone, as well as Ryan, started to walk around in the remains of Hometree. Ryan walked in between part of what used to be part of the stem of the tree. As he walked, he looked at the ground, seeing pottery like objects covered by ash still. Then Ryan noticed what he believed was a child's doll. He picks it up, but it slowly fell apart in his hand. Ryan could see that this must have been a family's home. He then heard one of the Na'vis nearby walking around slowly. He went to go see who it was and it was Soleuri. She was walking around moving some things on the ground and on the large barks of the tree.

Ryan slowly walks beside Soleuri, "I know this may not be a good thing to ask, but how did this come to be?"

Soleuri was still moving things carefully, "When our clan leader Jake was learning our ways, he did not tell us the truth about why he truly wanted to become part of the clan. Soon after he was accepted as one of us, tensions rose between the Omaticaya people and the sky people. Even though his intension was to protect us from the sky people, we should have listened to him when he and a friend of his came to warn us about the sky people coming to attack. Unfortunately it was too late. The sky people came and attacked Hometree, destroying the bottom part of it; they knocked it down to the ground. We lost many of our family and friends. We who survived were forced to move someplace else. Eywa provided us with a home, which with the help of the fifteen other clans, were able to defeat the sky people defending our new home."

"I'm truly sorry of all of your losses. Man, if just only I got here a few months earlier, all this could have been avoided. But, hopefully it's not too late to make up for the damage that has been done, even though it can't be undone."

Soleuri looks at Ryan then back at moving objects around, "This part here, used to be my family's home."

Soleuri smiled a bit, even though a tear was slowly running down her left cheek.

"Oh…I'm sorry for your loss."

Jake shouts from a distance, "Ryan, come here."

Ryan turns to where he heard Jake's voice and walks through the tree's remains.

"Now you see here, the product of what has happened. The home the Omaticaya people lived in for centuries now lay in ash because of the people who once were here."

"Yes, they went as far as to destroy the Na'vi's home... This will surely get the Captain to take your side. The story makes sense now that the missing pieces are connecting it all together."

Ryan walked around for a bit going through the remains, "Hopefully in time, we can make up for what has been done. It'll be a long way, but I know if we work together, we can re-establish peace."

"You're probably right. I think it'd be best for you to stay with us as I've said, would help get closer towards making peace."

Soleuri comes from behind a large piece of bark, "And what will we do about the other sky people? The one Ryan said would harm us?"

"Well, my friends will take care of them to insure they do not ruin our chance of peace. If Jake gives me permission to contact the Captain, we won't have to worry about the other people."

Jake takes out the walky-talky out of his small bag and hands it to Ryan, "I guess I can let you tell him the complete story now if it'll get him to protect the Omaticaya."

Ryan goes and gets the walky-talky.

Ryan presses a few buttons and the Captain shows up on the screen, "Hello sire, well I've gotten more of the story that I know will finally get you to make your decision."

"And so what else have discovered of the incident that had happened here."

"Well right now I'm in a site which by the Omaticaya, the Na'vi clan that roams these forests, used to be Hometree their home. The Colonel really messed up big time sire; he truly left destruction all around."

"How were you able to get there?"

"I flew here with the clan's leader and a few of his warriors. If you don't believe me of the mess the Colonel left have a look."

Ryan faces the walky-talky away from him to show the remains of Hometree. The Captain saw the grayish ground and remains of what use to be a giant tree. The Captain then connects his walky-talky to show in all the screens in the room. Everyone in the room saw what Ryan was showing, being the Na'vi warriors going through the tree's remains and the many objects.

Ryan then continues, "Now you know sire what these people have been through. You know we owe them for what the Colonel has done. We can start by giving them our word for their protection against the Russians."

"I guess you're right Ryan. I would at least want to talk to the leader first so we can have an accord and terms."

Ryan looks at Jake and hands him the walky-talky.

Captain Mason sees Jake on the screens, "Hello, you must be the leader of the Na'vi clan yes?"

"Yes, my name is Jake Sully."

"Well now, seeing the damage which has unfortunately been done, I should at least offer my word of your people's protection from any threat that should arise."

"That is fine Captain, but there is something else I need to give your word on."

"And what would that be?"

"You must not continue your search or digging for Unobtainium."

"I don't think I can give my word o that, sorry."

"Captain, it is the reason why thousands of lives were lost here, you must not make it be the same reason between us if something were to arise. You need to give me your word."

Captain Mason starts to pace back and forth slowly rubbing his chin and looking at the ground thinking.

Captain Mason takes a deep breath and lets it out, "Alright fine, fine. But I'm guessing Ryan has not told you that I need him to get back to the Russian base and get more information of why they're here. I know they are here for the Unobtainium as well."

"We have to make sure they do not threaten us. My people will attack you both if something happens."

"That's why we need Ryan to get more info on what else they're doing, only then we can stop them."

"Fine, we'll teach him how to survive out here. We will take care of him."

"Ok, see he is well taken care of."

With that the Captain disappears from the screen.

"Well Ryan, you mission is complete now."

"Not quite. I still have to get into the Russian base again and get more files. Only then everything will all right."

"Alright then, we'll teach you our ways to get you in shape so you can get back inside the base."

"How long might this take? The Russians are on the move each day."

"I'll get someone to teach you how to survive out here. Hopefully learning our way will help you when you return to your normal body to infiltrate the base again."

Jake then looks at some of the warriors nearby to see who is going to help Ryan. Then he turns to Soleuri, "Soleuri come here."

Soleuri walks towards Jake, "Yes, what do you need?"

"I need you to teach Ryan our ways, he needs help to get back into the Russian base, so you'll need to teach him the ways of a warrior to do so."

"What? Why me? Can't one of the other warriors teach him?"

"It's the only way to insure our people's safety. Do this for them."

Soleuri looked down on the ground for a few seconds, "Fine, I'll do it."

Soleuri walks to Ryan who was looking at paintings on a part of a column, "Hey you."

Ryan turns to Soleuri, "Yes?"

"Jake has put you in my charge to teach you our ways to help you get into the base."

Then she starts walking to T'siguway with Ryan flowing close behind.

"You're going to be the one teaching me? I should thank you for doing this for me."

Soleuri quickly turns to Ryan, "I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for my people, for their safety!"

"Ok sorry, didn't mean to offend you, just saying thanks for the help you're going to give me."

Soleuri looks down and walks to her T'siguway with Ryan following behind.

She climbs on T'siguway's back and when Ryan was going to climb on, Soleuri stopped him with her foot, "We start your training tomorrow early in the morning, so be ready am I clear?"

Ryan sort of frowns, "Yes."

Soleuri then let's Ryan get on. Everyone gets on their Ikran and then they all fly off back to the village.
