I am so sorry for how long this took. College came in hot and took all my time. Hopefully this chapter will still make you guys happy since there are several different exciting things I introduce in this chapter. Things I have been asked about and things nobody asked for but I am still doing! Anyway I'll stop jabbering and let you read the chapter I held hostage from you all.

Grace sat across from the russian, she was now in her avatar and she seemed more awake in the form. "So how're gonna pull this off?"

Dominika rubbed her forehead, "In the very least, ve could send a body and then the message that I died from my injuries."

Grace glanced up in thought, "Could work, but we need a body that looks like you-human you." She paused, twisting her face in concentration, "I suppose we could check the Archive. Bound to be something in there."

"The Archive?" Dominika asked, looking at the woman in curiosity.

Grace nodded, "When everyone signed up to come, they had the option of having their body archived in case they died. If they chose that, the body would be placed in a compartment where it would freeze the body. We could then send it back to Earth to the families. It's just like the cryo chambers aboard the ship you came on." She explained, arms folded while Dominika tilted her head before slowing smiling.

"That's brilliant! The bodies didn't get sent back?" Dominika asked, her eyes shining in amazement.

"Not enough room. They would normally get sent back every other departure, that's when the ships empty. However, due to the fact that half a million people got sent home, they couldn't get the bodies on the ship." Grace smirked, "Lucky for us though."

"I assume you two vill look for the body?" Dominika looked at her, hands on her lap.

"Max and I'll start after I'm finished out here. We can make the body look like yours, but we need to look for one with a similar physical built, that's the hard part. If it's possible, I'll try and find one with the same blind eye." She stated, stretching her arms and standing up, "Won't be as old looking, but it'll have to do."

Dominika stood up as well, "Good luck, Grace."

Grace laughed, "I'll need it, there's a lot of bodies to go through. Upwards of 250,000."

"That many have died here?!" She exclaimed, eyes going wide at the other woman's words.

"We had a large...incident..." She frowned while clearing her throat, "...A couple years back. Quaritch pissed off a tribe just north of the base and when he went all out, they did too. While it wasn't as bad as the attack on the Omaticaya, it had a much higher body count. Those natives had poisonous weapons, poison stronger than any other tribe, and it just swept through the ground forces." Grace paused, "Not many of them survived, and the remaining tribe members went into hiding."

Dominika was silent at that, Maybe Tsu'tey would know about that tribe. She thought, watching as Grace walked away.

Timeskip - With Grace.

The doors hissed loudly as they opened, "We have her information, correct?" Grace asked as she looked at a keypad on the wall.

"Yep. We got it over the first few links." Max answered, "It should be in the database."

"Great." She punched in her ID and the keypad blinked green before a door opened with a long beep. "Won't make this go any faster, though."

The room that greeted them was white, everything was white in fact. The air inside smelled of many different chemicals and there was a constant flow of cool air coming into the room.

Grace suppressed the shiver that threatened to overcome her as the air hit her, she looked at the main console with a click of her tongue. "Most of the bodies are downstairs, but we should be able to find a few that match Dominika's."

Max pulled out a small holographic tablet and hooked it up to the console, causing it to turn on. The screen dimmed for a second, until a picture appeared on the screen.

Grace walked over to the console as the body on the screen finally registered, "Stature...Check." She murmured, typing something into the still connected tablet, "Measurements...Weight, check and...check." She rolled her shoulders, "Now the fun part."

The screen flashed green before changing to a different body where it promptly buzzed and went red. The outline of said body disappeared, only to be replaced by a different one.

"Are the 3D printers still up?" Grace asked, eyes glued to the screen.

Max scratched his neck, "I think so. Not sure why you would need one though."

Grace raised an eyebrow as another buzz sounded from the machine, "I was gonna try to print a copy of Dominika's face. Little bit of makeup and a laser and I could attach it to a body." She glanced over her shoulder, "Much easier than trying to find someone with a face that resembles hers."

"True, but we can't make the body look exactly like hers." He said, frowning in thought, "Unless you want to use chemicals."

Grace looked at him sharply, "I don't want to, I need to. If I wanted to throw chemicals at a body, I would've done it a long time ago. I don't enjoy disturbing corpses."

"Never said you did, Grace." Max held his hands up in defense. He turned away from her as he went to the door, punching in his ID to open the door, "Never said you did." He repeated, only much quieter this time.

Grace's eyes closed as the door shut, "God. If I'm alive by the end of this…" She paused watching as the screen continued to flash red, "I'm done."

Outside Hell's Gate.

Dominika's face showed no emotion as she looked at the sky. Her eyes scanned the heaven's hands twitching nervously as if something would happen at any moment. Her hair blowed in the light breeze, it's red glow brighter than normal.

Vasilisa shifted and Dominika rose an eyebrow as the action moved her in the process. The Titan opened two of its eyes, boredom filling them, The communication is going well I take it?

Dominika's braid glowed a little brighter, Most of them can understand me, seems it's down to the Thanators and the Viperwolves now. She thought back, closed her eyes as she exhaled sharply, They seem to be ignoring me.

Better than annoying you, been there before. Vasilisa replied, shaking her massive head at the thought. Both of them can act like morons sometimes.

Dominika shifted as she heard two ikrans in the distance, Neytiri and Jake?

Neytiri and Jake. Vasilisa replied, causing Dominika to open her eyes.

Dominika watched the couple as they landed their ikrans, nodding in hello when Neytiri looked at her, "Tsu'tey sent you."

Jake looked dumbfounded, scratching the back of his neck, "How did you…?"

"Call it a mates intuition." She stated, turning her head to Jake, "I am glad you are here…" She paused, looking at her folded hands in thought, "I didn't tell Grace this, Jake."

"What's wrong?" He asked approaching her and the now sleeping Titan.

Dominika sighed, motioning Neytiri to come closer as well, "In that message they mentioned something that hit me pretty hard. I didn't know that they survived the war and vell, to see their names in that message…"

Neytiri looked at Jake who was in thought, "Jake?"

Jake's eyes suddenly widened, "Your brothers?"

Dominika glanced at him before nodding sadly, "They are leading the search. I...The last time I saw them vas right before I joined the military."

"Your body, it's…" Neytiri started until she saw the look in Dominika's eyes.

"Grace is working on it, there is no vay of telling if it vill fool them until they get off the planet. The people who vere here last time...vhat they did is small in comparison to what my country can do." Dominika said, closing her eyes, "I'm afraid...I haven't been afraid since I vas falling out of the sky." She let out a humorless laugh as Vasilisa awoke, "You know that fear...don't you, Jake?"

He was silent, giving her a small nod, The fear that comes when you know you will die. He thought, looking at the redhead's eyes. She had sadness in those eyes along with fear, the same fear he had so long ago.

"Anyway, I have decided that if Grace cannot find a suitable body to replace mine, I'm gonna go vith my plan." She stood up, disconnecting from the titan as she did so, "I'll let you in on the details later."

"You aren't telling us?" Jake asked, looking at her as she sighed.

"If I told you, you vould stop me and I can't be stopped if it comes down to it." Dominika turned away, closing her eyes as a memory came to her.

Flashback

Her wild orange hair whipping around as an explosion sounded close by, she jerked her head to look at the man beside her, "No matter vhat happens, don't stop me, don't say a single thing, don't move from this spot." She pulled her visor down and pulled out two pistols, "Do you understand?"

The man's bright blue eyes seemed fixated on the guns as he breathed out, "Yes, sister."

Dominika gave him a small smile, "On my mark, Artur."

Artur nodded, putting two fingers up to his forehead, "Do svidaniya, sestra."

She copied the motion, "Do svidaniya, Artur."

Flashback end.

Dominika's eyes glazed over, she had seen her brother Artur one final time on the battlefield. It was unexpected, random, and she never thought that the one time she was on the ground she would find him.

"Dominika?"

She blinked away the tears threatening to fall and looked at Jake, "Vhat?"

Not gonna bring that up. He thought, shaking his head, "Nothing. You...you were just staring at the sky for a while."

"I'm fine. I need some time to think over…" She paused, exhaling shakily, "Vhat I am going to do."

Unknown Location in Space.

"Never." A man said softly, "I should have never allowed her to go." He shoved his hands into his burnt orange hair, his accent barely noticeable.

"It vas her choice. Ve couldn't have done anything, brother." A younger man stated, looking much like the other man with his brilliant orange hair the only exception being his blue eyes.

The older one shook his head, "We promised to keep her safe, Artur. Now look what happened!"

"She's not dead, Viktor. I have heard that they send the bodies back to their families. Ve haven't gotten a body, now have we?"

Viktor shook his head, "The bodies are still on the planet. The natives pushed all of the soldiers off of the planet. I read the report, they were unable to retrieve the bodies and make it off while the natives still allowed them."

Artur didn't even flinch at what his brother was saying, "Dominika is strong. She has survived things that vould kill any normal person. I believe that she is strong enough to survive vhat occurred on Pandora and I don't think she is in danger."

Viktor turned around, "She could be injured and I don't want to take that chance. If they are holding her hostage, torturing her…" He paused, "I will lay waste to this planet. My baby sister didn't deserve this."

"Viktor! These natives did nothing!" Artur exclaimed, rushing around to meet his brother's eyes, "It vas not their fault, have you read vhat that bastard did to them? He destroyed their home, he killed hundreds possibly thousands of them."

Viktor closed his eyes, "I am aware of the damage done to them and I feel for their loss. I have gone through that too. That doesn't mean they would leave her alive. If they were angry enough they could have gone after her. They may be studying her because of how she looks and sounds."

"I have read vhat Grace Augustine has written and I know of her. She said many great things about the natives, that they are peaceful. I think that they are still good after all this. Yes their trust vith humans may be lowered now, but as long as ve don't threaten them they should be peaceful." Artur explained, waving his arms about as he talked.

"Should is the key word." Viktor grumbled, folding his arms as he pulled out a high-tech tablet that glowed blue.

"Viktor, I have studied psychobiology, astrobiology and the Na'vi themselves. Ve have to remember Dominika has an avatar and may have been able to bond with them. If she vas successful in doing that, she has a significantly higher chance of survival. Have faith Viktor." Artur's voice grew soft, "She had faith in us all vhen I vas on the battlefield with her."

Viktor sighed as he typed on the tablet, "I am sorry that you disagree with my methods-"

"You brought well over a million men to vhat may be their death. You hired them all! The natives thought they rid themselves of us yet here ve are, another million of hired guns after the last million got their buts kicked." Artur huffed, "It vould be wise of you to send me first. It vill reduce our chances of being killed instantly."

"If that will get you to stop arguing with me then I will allow you to speak with the natives first. We both know that you can speak it better." Viktor stated, swiping on his tablet as lights began turning around on them, "Are we in position to jump?"

Artur clicked his tongue as consoles rose around them, "Ve have been absorbing energy for little over three weeks." He activated a screen and a hologram of the ship, which ironically resembled a Super Star Destroyer.

"You have a strange sense of humor, brother." Viktor said as his eyebrow raised at the ships hologram.

"Vhatever do you mean?" Artur asked, playing innocent with a small smile on his face.

Viktor rubbed his forehead, "The ship. It's modeled after Darth Vader's Star Destroyer."

"Super Star Destroyer. I've always liked it's design and it vas very easy to make into a deep space vessel. Massive cryo chambers, outer shielding that vill protect us while in Hyperspace, and my personal favorite...cloaking! Vhen we have the cloaking feature on ve cannot be detected by other ships and radars." Artur explained with a massive smile.

"...We don't need cloaking. There's only one other ship in existence that can make it out this far." Viktor said in a deadpan, pinching the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

Artur whipped around, his attention fully on the other man, "Vhat if there were aliens? Aliens vith spaceships? Not all are like the Na'vi you know."

"I'll keep that in mind when I revoke your building privileges." Viktor began walking away as Artur turned to look at the screen.

"You know you love me." Artur laughed, pushing several buttons up and typing away at something as countless numbers covered a holographic screen.

"Unfortunately. You continue to agitate me more and more, brother. I am going to make sure the cryo chambers are ready for the jump. I'll contact you when I am done and we are ready." Viktor said as two doors opened for him and he left the room.

Artur sighed once he was alone, "Dominika, give us a sign. Anything that vill save the natives."
