A New Life

by Phoenixfire513

This fan Fiction is started right after The battle to give a better idea of what had happened after. I brought Jake's younger sister Anna into the mix and brought Tsu'tay back so we could see what will happen between Tsu'tay, Jake, and the others. I have added my own twists as well so I hope you like it.

7. A Nuclear Bomb and a celebration

Now we see if Jake remembers how to disarm the nuclear bomb he helped create almost ten years before and a fight to come. hope you enjoy.

---

I had left late this morning after I had asked Tsu'tay to help Niterie keep everything running smoothly while I was away and impressing on him how

important it was that no one but him and Niterie knew what I was doing to avoid a panic. Tsu'tay was not to happy that I was doing this alone but he abided

by my decision and after that I left. I knew I was getting close to the targeted area and I knew where to start my search for that bomb.

Night was coming fast and I just reached my search area so I knew I had to hurry because tomorrow night I had to be back at Hometree for Tsu'tay and

Anna's ceremony so Turuk had landed and I told him to wait there till I came back and set off bow in hand. The bomb was close to the old site 22 camp high

up in the Hulliluya Mountains that was why no one had found the bomb because it was in a spot no one expected. I came across the old link site we had only

taken the part the had the link beds in it but as I looked at what was left I thought to myself "It was because of this place that I have the life I have now. If I

had not taken over Tommy's contract I never would have come here and had all the experiences that I have had and never would have had the family I have

now." after standing there for a few moments remembering everything that had happened at this place then I kept moving looking everywhere I could think

of that the RDA could have hidden the bomb. I searched all night for that damn bomb and I was starting to get agitated at not having found it yet.

It was early morning I knew the clan would be awake by now and would later start to prepare for the ceremony. I was about ready to start heading back to

where Turuk was at site 22 when something hidden in the brush caught my eye. I cautiously went over to it and when I removed the brush that had been

piled on top of it I could see it was the nuclear Bomb I had been searching for. I carefully lifted the bomb, took it to the middle of the clearing, and laid it on

its side while trying not to let it explode. I kneeled down beside it and tried to remember how I had designed the outer shell to where I could get into it. I

took me a few minutes to remember but then I used my knife as a screw driver and undid the screws at the middle of the shell of the bomb until all of the

screws were out. When I took of the shell I noticed the timer underneath was already running it had two minutes before it detonated "Oh shit they already

set the timer I've got to get this thing shut down now!" I said out loud even though no one was there. I worked quickly because to shut down the bomb I had

to cut seven wires in a specific order if I got one wrong the bomb would explode, the reason I had designed it that way was so that no one could disarm it

unless I told them the order that the seven wires had to be cut. First I had to cut two wires at the same time which were the red and white wires which

disabled half the different bombs put in this bomb, then I cut the black wire between them which disabled three more, next I cut the yellow, blue, and green

wires which disabled the last of the bombs inside, but if I did not stop the timer before it went off it would still obliterate Pandora just because it is a nuclear

bomb. I took a deep breath because the last wire was at the very bottom but it was a wire I could grab and bring to the top just enough to cut it and I had

less than a minute. I reached in between the wires that had not been cut trying not to disconnect any of the wires until I found the one I was looking for and

I pulled it up to the top. This wire was three different colors twined together, red, black, and yellow. I was sweating because I now only had seconds before

the bomb detonated so I cut through the wire as fast as I could but the wire was thick so it was difficult. when the wire finally did break the timer stopped

with one second left on the clock. Once it was disabled there was no way to get it started again because the only thing that made it work was those seven

wires the others were connecting wires so if one of those got pulled before the seven wires were cut it would take every connected wire with it and set the

thing off. Now the bomb was no longer a threat because there was no way to set it off no matter what you did to it, even if you dropped it from six thousand

miles in the air it would not explode when it hit the ground it would just destroy itself.

I let my muscles relax but I was still breathing very hard with anxiety with how close this bomb had come to detonating "If they have already set the timer

that means that the RDA back up team is already bordering Pandora. That also means that when Pandora doesn't explode they come back onto the planet

and try to fight us again. When will they get the god damn message." After I walked to the cliff edge that would send the bomb down the to the forest three

hundred miles below I threw the bomb over the edge so that it would destroy itself. After the bomb had dropped far enough that I could not see it anymore I

ran the mile back dodging low branches and at times taking to the trees to speed my progress, I jumped on Turuk, and flew back to Hometree as fast as I

could. I knew I had to warn the clan. As I flew back I had a strong feeling of dajavue because of this reminded me of what happened only two seasons ago

when we made our last stand against the RDA "Will they always keep coming back when they know they can't win, will we have to deal with this shit?" I

asked myself, it took me almost three hours to get from site 22 back to Hometree. First thing Turuk landed I jumped of him, climbed down through the

branches, and hit the path in a dead run. I knew I had to find Niterie so that we could warn the clan of the impending danger, almost everyone was at the

base of Hometree very few where on the higher levels. I was in between the level that Niterie's and my hammock was on and the next level down when I just

could not run anymore, I could not even move, my legs shook, my breathing was ragged, and my mind was racing so fast I was dizzy. Next thing I knew I

passed out from all the stress and exertion that I had endured the last few hours which was more than I ever had endured before. I woke with a start, I could

tell I had only been out a few hours which meant I still had time. I bolted upright only to be thrown back down on my back by two different people, I tried to

fight but one of them pinned my arms down while the other pinned my legs but even though I was pinned I still tried to get out of their grip until I heard two

familiar voices one belonged to Niterie the other was Tsu'tay. It did not surprise me that Tsu'tay was able to pin my arms down so easily for he was the only

one in the entire clan who could do it just as I was the only one who could immobilize him, Niterie on the other hand was having a hell of a time trying to

keep the lower half of my body immobilized. I was in such complete got to warn everybody and no one is going to stop me mode that it took Niterie smacking

me upside the head to snap me out of it and get me to stop struggling. Once I had stopped struggling they released me as soon as they did I sat straight up

and finally noticed where the hell I was, I was in the healers alcove again I noticed that I had been in here a lot for many different reasons and not all of

them had been because a problem with me but I had been in here a lot in the past four months and it was getting annoying as hell. Niterie was the first to

speak "Jake what in Eywa's name has you so on edge? First Tsu'tay finds you passed out up in the higher levels of Hometree and now that you are awake

you are struggling as hard as you can to get out of here, so what happened out there that has you so on edge?" Niterie was firm but the look in her eyes told

me she was worried out of her mind I tried to calm my racing thoughts so I could tell Tsu'tay and Niterie what hell had me so on edge. "You know I went out

there to find and disable that bomb before the RDA backup team that was sent out got her and detonated it. I thought we would have about three months

but come to find out there already bordering Pandora. When I found the bomb the timer was already going I finally disabled it with on second left on the

damn clock, if I had not found it when I did we would all be dead right now and Pandora would be gone. When the RDA does not see Pandora explode they

will come back, find out why, and when they do we will have another fight on our hands though this one will not be as hard to win because there will not be

any gunships or bombers, but the guns, the AMP suits, and everything else will still be in play. This will not be easy and it will mean more lives lost but I

think the threat will be small enough that we will be able to defeat it on our own this time but we will have to make sure of that before we make any

decisions on how we are going to defeat them. We have to see how many the RDA commanders that run the whole organization from earth sent to reinforce

the RDA workers that used to be here." "How can we do that it is impossible to know to number of tawtute that have been sent to destroy us again, is there?

Tsu'tay asked me I could tell by the tone in his voice that he was in full battle tactic mode "There is one way it is a tactic that has been used for centuries and

is still used back on earth now, it is used by the military and it is the same reason that the RDA knew how many of you were at the old Hometree and by

extension what they were up against when we gathered the clans to fight them the last time, they had used orbital imaging as well but this was their main

tactic. What we have to do is be there when the land and the only place big enough for them to do that is Hells Gate the trick is we stay far enough away that

they will not know we are there and we do not make our presence know at all but we can still see them and by doing this we can estimate how big a force we

are up against and whether or not we can defeat this threat on our own. They call it scouting ahead, it is similar to hunting only difference is when find you

find what you were hunting for you do not kill it or make your presence know to it, what you do is you observe and analyze it to see what you are up against,

finally after you see what you are up against you retreat back to where your forces are and you make a plan then put it into action when the time comes to

fight." I paused then said "I will know when they are coming close to landing because of the gas trail that ship they are on will leave behind in the air. First

thing I catch a glimpse of that it will take them a few hours to reach Hells Gate and by the time they do we will already be there waiting and watching

because with how big the ship probably is it will be slower on Pandora than out in space, we will be able to get their first because our Ekran's are faster than

the ship and so are the Dire horses. I plan to use the Dire horses for the scouting because the Ekran's and especially Turuk will be too noticeable even from

far away. They will be here soon I know that for sure, they will not wait long so we need to tell the clan as soon as possible so that they are prepared for

what is coming." Then together we left the Healers alcove and gathered the clan truth be told I never spoke in English anymore because even my friends and

Anna knew the full Navi language so none of us ever spoke in English anymore but I also knew that the only time I would speak in English is when I have to

talk to any humans that come to Pandora or when I cursed. When the clan was gathered before Tsu'tay, Niterie, and I, I could not help but remember the

first time I had addressed the clan at the tree of souls. "A threat is coming, the sky people are coming back they will be here in a few days though not in as a

great a number as before. Once they find out what they planed to destroy us with has failed they will try to fight us again but just as before they will lose

because they fight because they are ordered to and the do not fight together while we fight to protect our families, our home, and each other but most

importantly we fight together as one unit we work together and that is their downfall. When they land Tsu'tay and I a going to go and see how many sky

people have come then we will come back here and formulate a plan. Tonight though we can rest easy for the sky people will not be here for one to two days

but until then keep on you guard and if any of you see any sky people do not fight them, come and inform either Tsu'tay, Niterie, or me immediately." I

paused then said "For now we all will go on with the day as normally as possible for even though the sky people are coming we still have tonight and tonight

will go on as planned. Now get on with the day and try not to worry about the coming sky people." with that the clan dispersed then Tsu'tay asked me "Why

are we still doing the ceremony if the sky people are on their way it does not make sense to do it now?" I looked at Tsu'tay with a small smile and said

"Tsu'tay the sky people may be coming and a battle will follow but before that happens both you and Anna deserve at least a small bit of happiness and it will

do some good for the clan as well to enjoy it with you before some lose those they love, I just hope that the number lost on our side will be few though I

know it is unlikely. So you and Anna will get at least some happiness before the storm hits that might tear us all apart." Tsu'tay did not say a word just

bowed his head to me which I returned then said "Now get out of here and do what you got to do, I will see you and Anna later." Tsu'tay nodded once then

left I watched him leave till Niterie grabbed my hand in hers and pulled me away. Once we were out of anyone's earshot I had tell Niterie something and

what I had to say would probably just start a fight between us but I had to try "Niterie, I know that whenever there is a fight to be had you right in the

middle of it but back then things were a bit different. If it was just you and I still I would not mind you fighting though I would worry the whole time just like

I did before but a few things have changed for one we have Tommy and Sal'amain to think about now and if we both fight and we both get killed then they

will be alone. You saw how it effected Tsu'tay even years afterword it has only now started to fade away I do not want that to happen to them. I have no

choice but to fight I would fight even if I had a choice not to but I will not take the chance of leaving Tommy and Sal'amain without at least one of us. I guess

what I am saying is I need you stay here with them that way if anything does happen to me the will still have you. The other lesser reason I need you to stay

behind is just in case any sky people get past us, you can lead the warriors I will leave here as an extra defense. Before we start arguing about this just know

I am only saying this because I am thinking about what is best for our family and the clan at the same time, I just want to keep our family intact the best I

can. Niterie, if I have learned anything in the two months about being a parent and the last two seasons of being mated to you is that it is my job to protect

all of you from anything and everything that will hurt you and I have also learned that if either of us is to die it should be me and I am happy to do so as long

as it means that you, Sal'amain, and Tommy are alive and safe along with the clan and that you will still be here for them. If I die I will die happy knowing

that all of you are safe so that is why I am asking you to stay behind this time, before you say anything just think about what I have said and my reasons

behind it." Niterie looked from me to where Hometree stood behind me because that is where Tommy and Sal'amain were with Mo'at then back to me. In her

eyes I could see the battle she was fighting within herself the she sighed and said "You are right it is not just us anymore and we have to think about our

children as well. I want to be out there with you fighting the sky people but our children come first. Know this though I have lost so many of the people I

loved to the sky people I do not want to lose you as well, it was hard enough losing my father it will be even harder if I lost you too so please just be careful

and try to come back alive." I cupped her face in my hands as I said "I will do my best to come back but if anything does happen to me I want you to

remember this and never forget it, I am glad I came here even if at first it was because of orders to do so because if I hadn't come I never would have had a

family of my own, or found the place I belonged, but most of all I never would have found you. You and our family are everything to me and even if I do get

killed I will always watch over all of you. I love you Niterie no one else ever made me feel as you have you brought back everything I lost and you gave me

family so no matter happens remember that you are the only woman I have ever loved and that will never change." to emphasize what I had said I kissed

Niterie passionately then held in my arms for a long time. After a while Niterie and I headed back to Hometree, we found Mo'at with Tommy and Sal'amain,

when we found them Tommy and Sal'amain were having a blast tumbling all over each other and I could not help but laugh. Niterie and I pulled the two

apart but it took two minutes to finally get the two separated because ever time we had gotten close to them they rolled in the other direction, Finally when

we had two separated and we took them to one of the lakes surrounding Hometree and I played with them letting them tumble all over me, I had some fun

with my kid because I knew it might be the last chance I had to do so.

It was almost time for the ceremony I had already seen Tsu'tay and he was ecstatic and I was on my way to see Anna, Niterie had been helping Anna get

ready. When I walked into the alcove I looked at my sister and smiled ear to ear, Anna had a white shawl on her shoulders, Niterie had done her hair with

many different braids with many different colored feathers and beads laced throughout her hair, and she was wearing a beautiful necklace that had recently

found out Niterie had given to her three days ago during the celebration of her and the other students completing Iknimaya and being one of the people.

"Anna you look beautiful I am so happy for you." I said as I embraced her, when I released her I pulled out a pair of earrings I had had made for her a few

days before when she had gotten her ears pairs just like Niterie had right after she had done Iknimaya and handed them to her saying "I had these made for

you, so you could wear them today I know you only have that one pair of earrings." she put them on and said "Thank you Jake that means a lot." she paused

the said to Niterie "Thank you as well Niterie you have done a lot for me since I came here but I thank you the most of all for making my brother happy." I

sighed I knew it was time to get out there "Anna it is time to get out there just know I love you and I am happy for you." Then I left to get out to the front of

clan where Niterie and I would be doing the ceremony. When Anna and Tsu'tay were in front of us the ceremony started, Niterie did most of the talking I said

a few things but my main job in the whole things was to give my bless to them and be there for appearances because Anna is my sister and I was her only

living blood related relative here. The ceremony lasted about thirty minutes then it was over and the party started. By the time the party was in full swing

Anna and Tsu'tay had snuck off and I was half way between bliss and passing out because I was exhausted from all the stress and happiness from the day.

The party ended at midnight and Niterie and I along with Tommy and Sal'amain went up to our hammock, we put our two children to sleep which took a

while because they were hyped up on sweets thanks to Mo'at, When they were finally asleep Niterie and I laid down next them and talked half the night away

until we both fell asleep in each others arms. We both knew the next day would be the start of the trouble with the sky people again but we also knew that

what ever time we had together now was precious because may be the last that we had together though I hoped it wouldn't be.
