(Four weeks later)

It had been four weeks since I started going to Hells Gate to use the technology that was there to find a new Hometree for my clan. I was starting to get

discouraged it had been four weeks and I had not found one tree that would work. I was about ready to give up when something on the screen caught my

eye, I had been thinking on how to upgrade what Niterie had told me the new Hometree needed but I had only tried it today. I looked at the number on the

grid "Sector 14 area 9" I whispered to myself I walked over to the machine I had never learned the name for, all I knew is that it showed a perfect image of

any sector the trees, land, everything. When I got to the side with the controls and buttons I typed in the sector and area number than I waited as the

system scrolled over to the area. It was scrolling so slowly that I was getting irritated with it, I was about ready to hit the darn thing when it stopped

scrolling. What it revealed made me gasp, the tree I was looking at was a perfect copy of the original Hometree abate being taller, bigger, and wider. "This is

perfect, It is bigger than the old Hometree which will accommodate all the clan and many new generations, The land surrounding it is a perfect match to what

we need as well it has open fields. One would make for a good place for the Dire horses and a good place to build the stables for when the rainy season hits,

the other clearing would be a good place for the archery and sparing field. the surrounding forest probably has abundant wildlife and there are many lakes

that are also probably filled with fish which would support the clan. I would have to go there and make sure that it lives up to what this image is showing and

because this tree is only two sectors away from the old one I will have to make sure that the old Hometree can not be seen from above, it would be

unwelcome reminder for the clan and that I can not allow." I had been going back to the wreckage of the old Hometree trying to find anything that would had

survived the destruction, when I did find something I returned it to its respective owner. Once I found a necklace that belonged to Niterie I remembered it

because she had worn it the day I had become one of the people and that night when she took me to the tree of voices. When I gave her the back the

necklace I found out that it had originally belonged to her older sister but when she had died Niterie had inherited some of her sisters old things, the necklace

was the only thing she had left that had been her sisters. It made me glad that I could bring back something to Niterie that had such value to her.

I memorized the route I would take once I got back to the tree of souls then I left Hells Gate for what I hoped was the last time and headed back to the tree

of souls to tell Niterie what I had found. As I flew back on Tsu'tay my Turuk I knew that I would have to tell Anna my decision on when she would go through

the mind transfer. I had seen all the Avatars except my sister go through the mind transfer as I had, Anna was the only one left I knew the reason she had

been putting it off was because she was frightened and I could understand that but I also knew that if she did not fulfill her promise to do this she would have

to leave and that would break my heart. I had decided to take matters into my own hands and had decided that she would do the mind transfer tomorrow

night if everything went well, I knew she would not like it but I also knew that she would do it if it meant she could stay. I turned my thoughts to happier

things, I could not wait to see how Niterie was today it may have only been four weeks since she told me she was pregnant but she was already showing and

was showing more every day. I had been leaving in the early morning before she even woke and had not been coming back till late at night, we had only had

a short time at night to see each other before she fell asleep and I left again in the early morning. I hoped that today would be the last time we would have

to do that. Tsu'tay on the other hand was getting stronger each day, Anna had been taking care of him to the best of her ability. Tsu'tay was able to walk

around for short distances on his own soon he would be back on his full heath and strength which made me happy but it also made me a little anxious

because I knew he would want to talk soon like he had said he would when I had dug that last bullet out of his lower right rib that had been missed the first

time. I just hoped he would not go back to the taunting and degrading me, I knew he would not try to kill me again for two reasons one I saved his life two I

was Olo'aktan now and it would go against everything he had been taught since he was a child to try and kill his one of his clan leaders no matter how much

he hated them. Once I landed I ran to find Niterie, when I did find her she was with my sister Anna and they were laughing like school girls again I decided

that I did not want to know why at this point in time so I walked to Niterie and said "I think I found a Hometree that will be suitable for the clan but I am

going to check it out first I want to know if you would like to come with me." Niterie smiled and said she would "Good then I will meet you by Turuk I need to

talk to Anna alone before we leave if you do not mind." she said she would wait by Turuk and left, once Anna and I were alone I turned to Anna and said

"Anna I know you have been putting of the mind transfer because you are afraid of what will happen but you cannot put it off any longer and since I know

you will not do it without a little push I am setting the time when you will do the mind transfer and that will tomorrow night if all goes well. I promise you

Anna it is not scary at all it is actually interesting and enlightening and I will not leave your side the whole time of that you can be sure of, but it will get done

you know what will happen if you do not do this." she nodded and said "You are right Jake I have been afraid but you have set the arrangement and I will

abide by it because I do not want to leave." I smiled at her bid her goodbye and went to where Niterie was waiting with Turuk. Soon we were off to see the

potential new Hometree.

As we flew there Niterie asked me "Jake are you happy with everything that has happened?" I was shocked that she would even ask a question like that "Of

course I'm happy why wouldn't I be. I mean there has been some pretty ruff patches but we got through them together. I have never been happier than I

am now." I paused then asked her why she had asked me that she replied "I was just wondering because of all the stress you have been put under with

being Olo'aktan, the realization that we are soon going to be parents, and also the connection between Tsu'tay and Anna. I know it has been a lot for you to

take on in a short time and you have been doing a great job I just wanted to make sure you were happy." I smiled through I kept my sight straight ahead

and my ears tuned for any sound of danger. We were silent for the rest of the ride, I knew we were getting close but then I caught a glimpse of something

glinting as the sun struck it I knew that only metal glinted like that when the sun hit it. I told Turuk to veer to the left and land on a thick branch that was

thick enough that Turuk would have enough room to land and I would have enough room to get down. I wanted to stay above the potential threat so I could

see what it was. Once we landed Niterie asked "Jake, why are we stopping." "I saw something that looked a lot like how metal shines in the sun. I don't know

what it is but I am going to check it out, I want you to wait here Niterie I do not want you in harms way not while you are pregnant. I'll be back once I find

out what it is." Niterie looked at me worriedly but her voice was stern "I may be pregnant but I am not fragile Jake and I am not one to ideally sit by when

something is going on, and you are the only one I know who will willingly throw himself into danger and I am not going to sit by and wait hoping you won't

get hurt. I am coming with you and this time you can not change my mind no matter what you say." I smiled at her while shaking my head at how stubborn

she was then said "Fine but if I tell you to run you run not stand and fight I will not put you or our unborn child in anymore danger than I have to." Niterie

promised me she would and we set off across the branches to stay above the potential threat. Then I saw that glint again my eyes zeroed in on it and what I

saw made me pissed off there were four humans scouting the area and they had guns but they were not marines or a soldiers of any type. I had heard from

rumors around Hells Gate when I first got here that there was a special force of humans no one knew that name of the organization but what was known was

that they did not work for the RDA, here on Pandora they were the secret weapon their base was hidden, camouflaged so it was hard to find except by those

who knew what to look for. This force was trained to kill Navi without hesitation and without mercy but be inconspicuous about it. I knew that they had to be

eradicated in the same way they would eradicate us without hesitation or mercy. I watched these four men intently analyzing every move they made, how

they moved, how they pointed their guns when they heard the slightest noise. I analyzed everything I knew from my military training and my training with

Niterie, I looked around looking at everything I could use against them I turned to Niterie with a steely gaze and said "Those humans are trained differently

than any you have fought. Their not part of the RDA those men are a specialized force trained to kill inconspicuously without mercy or hesitation. You know

how some Navi have gone missing and they have never been found those men down there are why, They take the Navi away they torture them for any

information until the Navi had outlived his or her purpose whether adult or child then when they have the Navi begging for death will they finally kill them

slowly and painfully to make them suffer and to hear them scream. But these men were never trained in combat all they were trained to do was to capture,

torture, and kill any Navi they can find I have analyzed everything I can use to my advantage with the surroundings, my military training, and the training

you have giving me. If I combine all that into one combat unit I can kill them will ease but I will leave one alive but not enough that he can be a threat until I

can get I can get the information I need and I won't do it in the way they do but I will get the information out of him one way or another, the information I

need is about the place they have been hiding even the RDA had no idea where it was and they never communicated in person only by computer and there

are many of them in their hideout only a few venture out as scouts while the others are the ones who do the torturing. Niterie I want you to stay out of this

fight I know you have fought other humans but these are not like the others you do not know how they fight I do even though I was never apart of that team

I trained along side them back on earth when I still had use of my legs so I know what they can do and all their weaknesses, Promise me that no matter what

you will stay out of this Niterie." Niterie has the same steely gaze as she said "Jake those men have killed many of our people, they will kill you just as easily

I will not stand by and let that happen." I softened my expression a little as I said "Niterie, yes those men have killed many of our people but none of our

people have the same background I do and yes they all may have been great warriors but they were never trained in a human military which I can tell you

make the training that every Navi hunter goes through look like child's play back there on earth if you messed up once you were given no food, no water, no

sleep, and you trained until you were ran into the mud and it counted for nothing because it was punishment. There was no respect given to you by anyone

you were the one who gave respect and sometimes you were forced to fight against your own family. In the eyes of the military leaders it did not matter if

you were family to someone if they were on the side we were fighting you killed them without hesitation family or not because they were standing in the way.

I thankfully never had to fight any of my own family but I saw brothers kill each other just because they were commanded to. I did a lot of things back on

earth that I am not proud of and here as well but in the end I chose to fight for something I would feel proud about being a part of and that was fighting for

Navi as one of them. But it does not change where I came from and what I know. Do you see the man to far left the one the scar under his eye," I paused

and pointed out the man, Niterie nodded indicating that she did "I know him personally we were once friends but then he betrayed me it pissed me off so bad

that it ended our friendship I was the one who gave him that scar with a military issued knife I was aiming for his eye but he blocked his eye so I ended up

cutting the muscle under his eye leaving that scar behind. I trained along side him I trained to be apart of that team that is down there right now but I

decided to join the Marines instead because of that man I did not want to be on a team with him or any of his friends and I am glad that I didn't because

none of what has happened would have happened if I had joined that team. I plan to leave the man I pointed out alive enough that I can question him. He

will recognize my voice that has not changed no matter what else about me has changed I want him to know that it was the same human man he betrayed

that stands before him again but as a full blooded Navi I will get the information I need out of him. He will insult me and he is loud man so you will be able to

hear his insults but I will take care of it." I paused then said "Niterie I am a full Navi now and that will not change but what else will never change is the fact

that I used be just like them, a human the only difference to the humans they are and the human I used to be was they are devoid of compassion and love

for anything except what they wanted, money I did not care about things like that I had the ability to show compassion and love to anything that I thought

was worthy of it. So no matter what I am now what I was will always be a part of me though it will never change who I have become. Now promise me that

you will stay out of this I will not put you, our unborn child, or our clan in danger. No matter what happens Niterie do not interfere promise me this." Niterie

looked down at the men then looked back at me and said "Fine I will stay out of it on with one exception if they have you on the ground unable to defend

yourself I will fill them with arrows other than that I will stay out of it I promise." I cupped her cheek in my hand and said "Thank you Niterie and I assure

you they won't be a problem for me." I kissed her gently then I jumped off the branch and landed quietly behind the men they did not know I was there yet I

drew my bow and knocked an arrow and in quick succession fell three of the men and before they knew what was going on they were dead. The fourth man

was the same one I had pointed out to Niterie before I jumped, he was looking at me with hatred I knew he thought I was just another normal Navi but he

was about to find out who he was really dealing with. He raised his gun I rushed him and before he could shoot I grabbed the gun just like I had when we

fought back on earth and wrestled it from him, I won and threw the gun as far as I could then I place my knife to his throat I let him speak first as he asked

"Who are you, your no normal Navi you know to much on human combat like how to wrestle a gun away from an adversary, who are you?" my eyes

narrowed I barred my teeth a him I knew he would recognize my voice as I said "I am surprised that you even made it here Jason and I see you still bear

that scar I gave you the day you betrayed me." Jason's eyes got wide as he asked "Jake Sully how the hell did you get here I thought you died in that

explosion in Venezuela I thought I made sure of it?" "You may have thought I was dead and I knew you set the explosion but all it did was injure my spine

and make my legs useless but you forgot one thing my twin brother was in the Avatar program he was murdered so I took his place here but now I am a full

Navi I no longer have a human body and I fought against the RDA, all the humans except your little team are gone. Now here you stand before me again and

you will feel just as I did when someone you thought would never betray you does it anyway." that was when Jason started the insults "You became a Navi

how typical an ex-marine who was trained to fight for his own people betrays everything he had just to be a lesser being a species who will be eradicated just

like every other species we humans concurred and destroyed you will be no different. I bet you barely remember any of your military training you have

become soft and insignificant I will take great pleasure in taking you back and torturing you myself." that was when I snapped I grabbed his arm and broke it

in two place with one jerk of my hand and growled "You will no take me anywhere your the one who is giving me information you may strong but you were

never as strong as me which made you jealous that's why set the explosion to get rid of me so you could be the best one in the military but you were always

making a fool of yourself with your plans even the ones that involved killing somebody because you always miscalculated something that is why you always

failed." for emphases I broke another part of his arm I close to my breaking point. I was in such a rage I barely heard the footsteps behind me I kept my

eyes trained on Jason's face and my knife trained to his throat I felt a hand I my shoulder I stiffened at the contact until I head a voice I recognized "Ma Jake

you need to calm down I know your angry but if you keep going like this you will kill him before you get the information you need." I did not look at Niterie as

I said "Niterie you promised you would stay out of this." "I know I did but I can not stand by when I see you this angry, calm yourself and this go over a lot

easier, and you will have no regrets over anything that happens but if you keep up like this I know you will regret what happens." Jason spoke up "Oh look at

this the great Jake Sully brought to heal by a Navi woman." I squeezed his broken arm till he winced and said "Don't you dare insult my mate and you will

call her by her name which is Niterie. You can insult me all you want Jason but you will not insult her do you understand me Jason!" I squeezed his broken

arm till he yelled "Ok just stop I'll do what ever you want just stop your damn squeezing, my arm is already broken I don't need any more broken bones!" I

took a deep breath to calm myself then without looking at her I said "Niterie thank you for coming down here your right if had killed him just because of a

rage I would have regretted it. Now I can get the information I need from him because he now knows that if he does not cooperate I will break other bones in

his body to get him to talk. Still thank you for clamming me down but just in case I want you to stay back that way if pull a knife or anything he will not be

able to reach you. Keep your bow trained on him though that way he has two weapons trained on him." Niterie backed up and trained her bow with an arrow

nocked and aimed it at Jason's chest. That is when I started my interrogation "All right Jason where is the base that you and your team are stationed in and

have hidden so well?" Jason did not answer until I squeezed his broken arm "Ahh. ok I can do better then tell you where it is I'll show you I actually

command everyone there." "How the hell did you get your own command?" I asked stunned "I earned it thank you very much unlike you who always follows

like a trained puppy." this time is was Niterie who got pissed off she sped to Jason, punched him in the gut with all her strength and growled "He does not

follow, he leads but unlike you he leads with compassion and dignity so do not insult his leadership again unless you want to die." this time it was my turn to

calm my mate down I looked away from Jason enough that I could still see him out of the corner of my eye but still look at Niterie as I said "Niterie, honey

thank you for defending my honor but he is not worth it. Even back on earth he never understood what being a leader truly meant, words like dignity, honor,

or anything relating to that were lost on him he never understood and he never will." just as I finished my sentence out of the corner of my eye I saw Jason

pulling his knife I pushed Niterie out of the way and shielded her while Jason's knife stabbed me in the stomach. I remained standing through sheer willpower

I knew I could not get the answers out of him but if these men and Jason are here then the base had to be close by and I knew a lot about camouflaging

things and what to look for to spot what was artificial. I looked at Jason and growled "Big mistake Jason and it will be your last." with that I slit Jason's

throat. The last thing I remember was slitting Jason's throat then blacking out, I do not know how but when I woke I was back at the tree of souls the knife

had been removed from my stomach and the wound bandaged. I tried to sit up but someone pushed me back down and said "Ma Jake it is ok you are safe

just rest." "Niterie how the hell did we get back here?" I asked her with a raspy voice she came into my line of sight I saw a bandage on her upper arm and I

asked in a stronger voice "Niterie why do you have a bandage on your arm what the hell happened!" Niterie kneeled down by me and started running her

hand through my hair like I had done with Anna many times as she explained what happened after I had blacked out "Jake after you were stabbed you slit

Jason's throat he did not die right away he bled to death so when you passed out you had been standing so you started falling I caught you before you

completely fell but in the process I exposed my arm to Jason and before he completely died he pulled another knife and slit my arm though he could barely

do any damage with how weak he was but the knife was sharp and managed to leave a pretty good cut. I took my own knife and stabbed him in the chest

killing him instantly. It me five minutes to get your Turuk to understand to get back here on his own, once I did I dragged you back here it took me half of

the today. When I got back you were delirious thank Eywa a few of our hunters found us three miles from here all of them were on their Ekran's the spotted

me dragging you from the air and helped me get you back here. The whole time you kept talking nonsense I was worried sick, you have been out for almost

three day's the knife broke your rib and missed your right lung by inches. When we pulled the knife out there was so much blood but mother was able to stop

the bleeding before you lost too much she bandaged the wound but told me that even with the knife out and the bleeding stopped you had a low chance of

survival and that if you did survive it would be a miracle because of how much blood you had lost and with your rib broken we could not be sure if anything

had pierced your lungs. Your breathing had gotten really shallow but over the last few hours your breathing got stronger which I hoped meant you would

wake up and you did, I was so worried I was going to lose you." After her explanation Niterie had tears running down her cheeks I brushed the tears away

and while cupping her cheek I said "Niterie the is a trifle wound to me compared to some of the wounds I have had in the past, and it would take more than a

wound like this to tear me from you." she smiled for a moment then her expression turned to confusion as she asked "What wound could be worse than a

knife nearly piercing your lungs?" I wished she would not have asked that but I answered her "Back on earth I suffered a lot worse wounds I went to war with

other countries many times one time was the worse war I had ever been in and what we were fighting over was so petty it was a natural resource in that

country that in past was traded for something we had the resource was called oil the America's had run out of oil many years before and we started a war

with a country we called it China it had an abundant source of oil. Both army's were evenly matched in number we all had guns but there were other weapons

in use some were American weapons others were made by the Chinese. It was a gruesome battle it is hard to explain, about the only way I know how to

explain it so you could understand the wounds I suffered that were so much worse than this is to show you but that I will never do. It was hard enough to

live through it I will not show you that it would scar you I will not let that happen." Niterie was silent for a moment then said "Jake I want to see it, I want to

understand. By understanding what you went through it might help me understand more you than I already know." I sighed and said "Niterie trust me you do

not want to see what happened there I lived through it I should know." "Jake please I do not just want to know I need to know. I know you have nightmares

and when I ask you never tell me what they are about all you say is it is from your past and I should not worry myself over it. I need to know Jake I want to

help, please show me what happened back on Earth so I can help you here." I looked down knowing she would not give in until I showed her, after a few

minutes I looked her in the eye as I said "It goes against my better judgment but knowing you, you will not let this matter go until I show you. If it means so

much to you I will take you to Hells Gate there are things there called historical movies that I can place on the projector and show what happened." I started

to get up but she pushed me back down saying "Not now ma Jake wait till your wound is healed and your strength returns." I smiled at her and said "Niterie

this is nothing compared to what some wounds I fought with, in the same war that you want to see I had five bullets in my ribs and stomach and three

lodged in my back, I had deep gashes on both of my sides and two on one arm, yet I still fought I held a gun up and fired I still used every weapon I had at

my disposal even though every move I made caused me so much pain I kept fighting not just so I could live but so that I keep my comrades from dying,

none of them were friends of mine or even family to me we just fought together because we were ordered too, I went on like that for six days without rest.

So this wound is nothing compared to what I have had in my past, trust me I am strong enough to go to Hells Gate and do anything else I need to do." she

started to say something but I cut her off saying "I know all you want to do is keep me from even more pain or injury but you don't need to worry I promise

you I'm ok and I will be fine." I smiled reassuringly at her and sat up on my own and stood even though at first I winced, I stood straight and I took Niterie

by the hand and we walked out of the healers area. Before we left I found Mo'at and told her where Niterie and I were going, Mo'at tried to tell me that I was

not ready to travel or do anything on account of my wounds I told her the same thing I had told Niterie then she finally consented. Soon Niterie and I were

headed to Hells Gate, I was silent the whole way knowing this would be hard for Niterie to see but even harder for me because I lived through it I had heard

the screams of dying men around me, heard guns firing, I could still feel the bullets and knifes piercing my flesh, I remembered how many times I had come

close to death. I knew that watching the war even on a projector screen would bring back every memory, feeling, and sensation I had felt in all the wars I

fought in. Soon Hells Gate came into view and I knew it would not be long before I was reliving every experience I had in that war.
