Here is the next chapter of the story. In addition, I need to figure out how to make a Na'vi name for Chrissy. Any ideas?
Inspired by the song and scene from Tangled "Kingdom Dance".
The Omatikaya Clan was slowly warming up with the Vita Clan. They helped around the village, helping with the farming, gathering some herbs, and helping in some hunting. In addition, the Vita Clan gives valuable information to the RDA, and stops (or destroys) their bulldozers in secret. It was easy to hack into the machine, and mess with the camera feeds. The RDA has no idea that it was Dark and her friends' doing. Meanwhile, Val, Celestia, and Maisie were understanding about their blessing from Mo'at. She's an excellent teacher. Chrissy and Jake were doing their best in training to become one of them. Jake gave up on exposing the group to his superiors since he lost a battle to Val, Celestia, and Maisie. Yeah, they gave him their adorable puppy dog eyes, and he surrendered. On the other hand, because their hybrid dinosaurs and raptors were going to tear him to pieces if he tried to even utter a word that made him give up.
The bond with the Omatikaya made a kinship between them. Like a family.
It was strange at first, but they managed to keep a strong bond. They helped each other in many ways. Mostly because Dark and her group took down many machines, preventing them from reaching any sacred ground. One time, Tech hacked into the bulldozers, making people believe they were faulty, as they crashed into one another, much to Selfridge's frustration, but satisfying for the Omatikaya. Dark even shows them the footage of the RDA's misfortune, earning many satisfying laughs and chuckles.
"Damn, can't believe how easily we won them over." Owen said, carrying Marcus in his baby carrier.
He, Spider-Man, and Dark were walking through the village, being greeted by some Na'vi.
"Yup, we helped a lot around the village, now they see us as allies, unlike the RDA." Dark said, heading towards the tree. "We have to make sure the area is secured, and keep those bulldozers away from her."
"Speaking of bulldozers, by any chance you sent...oh, I don't know, a very dangerous member of our group to go out, tear the bulldozers apart, and throw them near the RDA's base and think they saw a monster?" Spider-Man questions Dark with a raised brow.
Dark responded with a low hum. "Mmmaaayyybbeee..."
Dark assigned Destiny to go and 'secretly' terrorize the RDA. Destiny obeyed without hesitation and did her task. Every bulldozer that was sent to the forest was suddenly torn to pieces by an unknown beast. She took the form of a mythical beast called a Krylock.
Krylock is a magical beast of pure evil, which feeds off magical creatures, mainly Unicorns and fairies. It had the head of a cobra and the body of a scorpion. The RDA has no knowledge of mythical beasts or whatsoever, and believes it was an alien species in Pandora. They called in the Demon of Pandora. Yet, the Na'vi gave her a noble name, calling Destiny the Tsamsiyun Eywa'evengnpr, which means 'Warrior of Pandora'. They were grateful when they learned that whenever Destiny destroys a bulldozer, she uses a bit of her energy to bring back plants and fauna that were destroyed by the bulldozers, as if they never came here at all. Quaritch sent some of his soldiers to kill Destiny, but they ended up getting killed by her and she left one survivor. In addition, that poor survivor went mentally unstable due to Destiny's psychic ability. He keeps rambling about a monster and that they are all going to die. Therefore, they had no choice but to sedate him and put him in a coma, to prevent him from scaring everyone. Yet, his action made everyone wary of the forest. Thinking that Destiny is some kind of spirit of vengeance. It was an amusing outcome, for Dark at least.
"You really sent Destiny to scare the living daylight out of them, didn't you?" Owen said to Dark, not wanting to swear in front of his son.
"It's the only way for them not to blame the Omatikaya for the destruction of their machines. Now, they hunt a mythical creature that cannot be killed by human weapons, and are delayed with their work. It's a win-win scenario."
"Yeah, making them go crazy was part of your plan." Spider-Man reminded Dark.
"Like I said, it's the only way. And besides, Destiny only killed like what? Nine of them, one survived."
"Yeah, and was placed in a coma after the people thought he went crazy." Owen added, rolling his eyes.
Dark waves him off, "Ah, details." She said before they spotted Mo'at guiding the three young girls out of the tree. "Looks like the kiddos' lessons are over."
Owen smiles at the direction and waves at them, "Hey, girls!"
The trio gasped happily and ran to Owen, hugging him and Marcus, who giggled at their hug. The trio told them about Mo'at teaching them how to listen to life in Pandora or types or herbs and more. Owen smiles and nods, listening to their words. They were really enjoying themselves here.
They thanked Mo'at for taking care of them, but Mo'at said that it was her pleasure in teaching the young girls with the Marks of Eywa. They need to learn to control the gifts that their Great Mother gave them. Soon, they left for the forest to find the others, riding on Banshees or Direhorses. They went to see what they were up to and to their surprise, they were looking up at the trees, waiting for something.
"What are you guys looking at?" Spider-Man asked, making their way to the group.
"Jake is trying to learn how to land on his feet." Lusha answered, riding on a Direhorse while looking up to the trees with a grin.
Spider-Man and Owen raised a brow before turning towards Dark, Lusha's older sister and Dark's girlfriend.
"Translation, please?" Spider-Man asked Meygana.
"Neytiri is teaching Jake how to land safely to the ground by using the big leaves of the trees." Meygana explained with ease, still looking at the trees with Damien holding up his phone.
They looked up to the trees, barely able to see the two figures, Neytiri and Jake, running through branches of the trees. Neytiri was taking the lead while Jake sprinted with her through the trees, trying to keep up. She climbs and leaps with no problem before she leaps off into space, falling to the forest ground until she catches an enormous palm leaf and, gripping it, allows it to droop to slow her fall. She lets go, plummeting, and catches another, and another, before she lands safely to the ground. The group below clapped at her performance, showing great amazement by this. Neytiri smiles at them before looking up, with the others following. They could tell that Jake was hesitant to jump.
"You can do it, Jake!" Quinn cheered from below.
"Just do what Neytiri did!" Aggie encouraged him.
"Yeah, and try not to die!" Dark added with a smirk.
"Dark!" Spider-Man scolded his friend, who sticks her tongue at him while Meygana laughs.
"And if you somehow die, can I have your Avatar's body!" Lusha added happily before noticing the strange looks that her friends were giving. "What? I wanna see if I can be resurrected like a puppet."
Jake, sadly, hears this, and frowns deeply. After learning that they can do magic, even though part of him still denies that it was not real, he learns quickly that some, mostly Lusha, enjoys doing the dark arts and causing problems.
"Wow, thanks for the words of encouragement." Jake called out to them sarcastically.
"You're welcome!" Lusha's cheery voice claimed through the trees.
Then Dark's voice soon follows from below, "Just shut and jump already!"
Jae sighs in annoyance, "You gotta be kidding me." He mumbles.
Nevertheless, Jake had no choice. He straps his bow around his body before he backs up and makes a running start, and leaps off with a scream. However, unlike Neytiri, Jake fell from leaf to leaf, vines, all the way down in a dizzying kinetic rush. The group from below could hear his yell and grunts without taking their eyes off the trees. Damien recorded the whole thing, slightly cringing at Jake's yells. Soon, Jake's bow dropped next to Neytiri, surprising her in process, before Jake drops down from the last leaf, onto a big mushroom (which softened his fall), and lands on the ground, rolling off from it, and then landing next to Neytiri. Jake gets up dizzyingly. Dusting himself and clumsily picks up his bow. He feels exhilarated to still be alive. Neytiri was surprised that he followed without any hesitation. He then turns to the group, who stare at him while Damien continues recording.
"How'd I do?" Jake questions them.
"Well...you didn't die, that's a start." Dark said plainly, earning a frown from Jake. "Welp, since that's over, we're heading back to base."
"Speaking of your base, when are you going to show it?" Jake asked Dark.
"Come again?" Dark asked Jake.
"Well, you know about the RDA because you hacked into their system." Jake listed out the first thing.
"Not guilty." Dark confessed with an amused smirk.
"Got along with the Omatikaya Clan."
"Don't hate the players." Owen added, rocking his son, who giggles.
"And yet, you don't show them about your base." Jake said to them, "Why is that?"
Dark lifted her index finger, "One: The clan leader, aka Eytukan, didn't ask if they could let his clan see our base." She then brought up her second finger. "And two, we're not sure if they can handle our...other team members."
The Na'vi, Jake, and Chrissy have no idea that their other members are Predacons, the three Cybertronian femmes (including Yunna), Xenomorphs, and the Yautjas (Wolf, Celtic, Chopper, and Ahraan). And some magical things are there too. They don't want to overwhelm them.
"So...you're just waiting for the clan leader to ask if he and his people could see your base." Jake asked Dark, who nodded her head. "...That's it? No trial or test or something?"
"Ah...No, the Omatikaya is our ally, after we showed them that we're not a threat, and we share same goal."
"And that is?" Jake questions Dark.
"Kicking the corrupted corporation's ass." Dark said with a smirk, earning a glare from Jake. "And without a further ado, we'll be heading back to base, see ya tomorrow!"
"Wait!" Jake didn't have time to react as Dark teleported the group back to the floating island, leaving a frustrated Jake and an amazed Neytiri.
Jake didn't have time to ask about the mysterious girl. He sighs before Neytiri places a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look at her.
"Come, we must continue." Neytiri said.
Jake nodded and followed Neytiri to continue his training. Unaware that Destiny was sitting on top of a tree branch, watching them.
{Keep your arms straight, breathe, and then release.} Tsu'tey instructed Chrissy, who was holding a bow and arrow.
Tsu'tey was teaching Chrissy how to shoot a bow and arrow. Chrissy followed his instructions perfectly as she took archery as a kid. She easily hits the target with ease, making Tsu'tey very impressed and proud. She was getting used to understanding the Na'vi and their ways, that they must respect the land and don't take much. Honor the creatures that they hunt. And showing a symbiotic bond with the animals, mostly with the Direhorses and Mountain Banshees.
{With enough practice, you will be ready to become a taronyu.} Tsu'tey praised Chrissy.
Chrissy smiles. {Thank you, Tsu'tey. However, I prefer to be an observer than a taronyu.}
Tsu'tey chuckles lightly. {Or perhaps you prefer to be Tsahìk for the Vita Clan.}
Chrissy also chuckles. {Me? A Tsahìk? I doubt I can. Besides, I have no quality to be a Tsahìk.}
Tsu'tey and Chrissy returned back to the village, whereupon they saw Dark's clan members speaking with some Na'vi hunters, informing them that some of the routes they used to hunt is currently being blocked by some fallen trees and broken bulldozers, which were caused by Destiny's rampage, and are currently cleaning up. But the other part of the area where they sometimes hunt is on the clear. The Na'vi appreciated this and left while Dark's members left to finish cleaning up.
{It looks like your people and the Vita Clan are getting along.} Chrissy said with a small smile.
Tsu'tey nodded his head. {Indeed, they are not like the sawtute that came and...}
Chrissy looks at him with confusion and curiosity. {Did something happen?}
Tsu'tey glanced at her, eyes filled with hidden sorrow before turning back to the village. {Let us return to the village.} He assures, heading towards the tree, followed by a very curious Chrissy.
As they reached the village, a hunter, who was a few years younger than them, was running towards them, calling towards Tsu'tey. {Tsmukan!}
Chrissy was surprised to hear this. {You have a younger brother?} She questions him.
"Sran." Tsu'tey responded. Yes
The young hunter came to Tsu'tey as he placed his hand on his brother's shoulder. {Arvok, how is your training?}
Arvok smiled and responded. {All is well, tsmukan. I will be participating in a hunting party soon.}
Arvok then turns to Chrissy, and his eyes widen in surprise at the sight of her. Chrissy blinks at him, wondering if this was his first time seeing an avatar. Not wanting to be rude, she gave a kind smile, and greeted him.
"Kaltxì."
Arvok snaps from his trance and looks at Chrissy with wide eyes. {You...You are...}
Chrissy smiles at him gently. {Yes, I am a uniltìrantokx.}
{Um...yes, but...you...} Arvok was cut off when Tsu'tey placed a hand on his shoulder, shaking his head.
{Apologies, this Arvok's first time to see a uniltìrantokx in the village, besides JakeSully.} Tsu'tey said apologetically.
Chrissy smiles at Tsu'tey. {It's alright.} She said while looking at Arvok. {So, is he your younger brother?}
Tsu'tey nodded his head. {Yes, this Arvok te Rongloa Ateyitan. He is still training to be a hunter.}
{Well then, may Eywa give you guidance through your training.} Chrissy said to Arvok kindly.
Arvok responded by nodding his head. {Y-yes...thank you.}
"Yo! Chrissy!"
They turned around and saw Jake calling out for her, waving his long blue arm, "Come on! We're heading back!"
"Be right there!" Chrissy calls back before turning back to Tsu'tey and Arvok. {I will see you tomorrow. And it was nice meeting you, Arvok.}
Arvok nodded his head again. {It is...}
Chrissy left to meet up with Jake, leaving Tsu'tey with his brother. They watched as Jake and Chrissy left with Neytiri, heading back to the village. As they leave, Arvok looks at his older brother, who remains focused on watching Chrissy leaving with Jake.
{Chrissy...she looks just like Sylwanin.} Arvok said to his brother in a whisper.
Tsu'tey nodded his head. {Indeed...It feels like... Sylwanin has returned to us.}
Arvok looks down. {But...she died when the Sky People...}
{I know, yet I believe the Great Mother has brought the Vita Clan to our village, to show the rebirth of Sylwanin. Yet...she has no memory of her past.}
Arvok looks down, knowing very well that his brother's feelings towards Sylwanin haven't left him. The death of Sylwanin was a tragedy to all, especially to her family and Tsu'tey. Sylwanin was supposed to be the next Tsahìk, and his brother was going to be the next Olo'eyktan. The two would've been a mated pair, if it weren't for those evil Sky People. Upon Sylwanin's death, Neytiri was chosen to be next Tsahìk and was then promised to Tsu'tey. Yet, she does not see him as a beloved nor does Tsu'tey. She only sees him as a brother and her sister's mate. However, he has too. For the clan's sake and future. That is, until Jake and Chrissy came. When Tsu'tey saw Chrissy, she looked exactly like his deceased lover, down to her face, eyes, voice, everything! Although it was like a miracle, seeing her again, she has no memories of her past life with him nor his people. He is determined to make her remember their past life, their love, and promise.
However, his young brother notices the look on his brother's face. {Brother...are you think of...}
Tsu'tey placed a gentle hand on his brother's head. {Arvok...I know that it is wrong, that I am endangering the clan...but seeing her...I couldn't help but wonder...is this a sign by Eywa herself?}
Arvok did not respond. He knew very well that Tsu'tey love for Sylwanin has never died. If he continues this then Tsu'tey will lose his chance to become the next clan leader. Arvok wanted to protest, but...but back then, he too misses Sylwanin, and she was like a sister to him. He never wanted her to die that day. Their parents expected Tsu'tey would be the next clan leader, for he will bring their family great glory, but that is not what Tsu'tey wants. All he wants is to be with him again.
{Come, brother, we must return home.} Tsu'tey said to Arvok.
His young brother nodded his head and followed Tsu'tey back home. Minds still clouded with doubts and questions
~0~0~0~0~0~0~
For the next couple of days, The Vita Clan and Omatikaya Clan friendship has grown stronger. With each of them stopping the bulldozers or causing problems for miners that were digging for Unobtanium, preventing them from completing their work. They even caused some technical damages in the RDA's systems, like their screens becoming jittered or memes popping up here and there, or their machines that were turned off and suddenly turned on. The people in the RDA suspect that there were being hunted by ghosts. However, Selfridge states it's just technical difficulties, nothing more. Sucks to be him not realizing that their systems have been hacked by Tech.
While the RDA were busy with their problems, Chrissy and Jake continued their training, earning the trust of the village slowly. The children found them interesting, mostly towards Chrissy, who loved and adored them. Jake could see why Grace loved them; he saw pictures of Grace with the children in her school before it was closed. They were in Site 26, a mobile link station, located high in the Hallelujah Mountains. Jake notices Grace always looks at the picture of her former students. And he knew that she longs to see them again. Therefore, Jake went off to ask Mo'at to let Grace, and maybe Norm, and to bring them to the village. Jake always knew that Norm wanted to see the village up close and he was his brother's good friend.
However...Mo'at isn't sure if she could allow two more strangers in the village. And she wasn't the only one, Dark was also against this. They can't have two more people to know about their existence. Yet Jake is determined to do his best and sweet talk Mo'at into letting them in the village. Stating that they can tell more about the RDA and the Avatar Program. Dark was reluctant at first, but she knew that they need more people from the inside to infiltrate more info of the RDA, so they can exploit their weaknesses.
So, reluctantly, they both agreed to let Grace and Norm in the village. As long as they won't try to expose them to the RDA.
Jake, overjoyed by this, told the good news to Chrissy, Grace, and Norm. This information shocked both Grace and Norm, well. More like excited them. Norm's been brushing up his Na'vi really well, and making his avatar spic and span. Grace was a bit nervous yet excited to see her students, even if there's gonna be some awkward tensions, but nonetheless, they have to make a good impression.
When both Grace and Norm arrived, they formally greeted Eytukan and Mo'at, who greeted them back, before allowing them into the village. There, a bunch of children that went to Grace's school ran to her with pure joy. Grace smiles and walks over to her students.
"Kaltxì, ma evi." Grace greeted them kindly. Hello, children.
The Na'vi children giggled in pure joy as Grace kneels-down at their height, allowing them to play with her beaded hair.
"Tsawl nìtxan nang." Grace said to them happily. "Sevin nìtxan lu aynga nang." Look how big you are. You are so pretty.
Chrissy was standing on the sidelines, smiling at her mother's pure joy. Seeing her mother happy brings great joy. Norm, on the other hand, was overwhelmed at the village, constantly in awe at the sight of many Na'vi. He greeted them formally, showing great respect.
{Thank you again for this,} Chrissy said gratefully towards Mo'at, who stood beside her. {They're very honored to be here. I am sure they would like to learn more about your kind.}
Mo'at smiles at her softly. {If they are like you and the Vita Clan, surely they will learn much more than the other Sky People.}
Chrissy looks at her curiously. {Did you try to teach them your way?}
Mo'at shook her head. {We have tried to teach other Sky People. It is hard to fill a cup, which is already full.}
{Well, the other Sky People are not very...bright.} Chrissy tried to explain about the people there.
{Are they much of a skxawng like JakeSully?}
Chrissy laughs gently. {Some of the warriors, yes. But there are others who are more interested in peace than violence.}
Mo'at chuckles lightly as they look back to the two newcomers. Norm was getting a few curious looks as he perfected his Na'vi. Clearly, he is showing a great impression towards them.
"Hey, Chrissy?" Jake called out to his friend, making his way towards her. "Has, you know, Dark and the others show up yet?"
Chrissy shook her head, "No, but she mentioned that she has a surprise for us."
"Do I wanna know what it is?"
"Probably not." Dark said, appearing beside him.
"Holy shit!" Jake yelled in fright, catching everyone's attention while Chrissy yelped in surprise.
Dark gave them a simple salute. "Sup."
"When did you get here?" Chrissy asked with wide eyes.
"Just now." Dark said with a wave.
"Um..." The group turned towards Norm and Grace. The two scientists were staring at Dark with wide eyes, completely flabbergasted by her presence. "Who is that?!" Norm exclaimed in pure shock, his eyes looked like they were going to pop out from his sockets.
Jake and Chrissy looked at each other and then to Dark. The demonic guardian looks at them with her arms crossed and shrugs her shoulders and then she looks at Grace and Norm.
"I'll tell you guys later, but all you need to know is that my name is Dark Twilight and I'm from another Earth of another dimension, and I'm here for personal business."
Even though her words were shocking for them, Grace, however, was skeptical and suspicious. "Wait a second; are you the one that's been terrorizing the mining operation and the jarheads calling you the Demon of Pandora?"
Dark snorts at her in amusement, "Ha! I wish, but no, someone in my...clan...is doing it. And speaking of which, gather all the Omatikaya we're going out!"
"To where? And what are you talking about?" Jake asked Dark.
"Remember you won't stop patronizing me that we don't show you where our base is?"
"I didn't patronize-"
"Anyways, I talked with Eytukan and he agreed that his people should see our village. To strengthen our bonds."
"And...where is this village you speak of?" Grace asked, still unsure about Dark.
Dark grins and pointed up, "Up there."
They looked up, and sure enough, an island appeared of thin air, causing everyone to gasp in shock. All this time, their village was an invisible floating island.
"How long has it been here?!" Jake exclaimed.
"Since we arrived." Dark said with a grin before turning to the shock. {Everyone! I would like to invite you all to the Vita Clan's village!} She announced in their native tongue.
Everyone was confused yet curious. They have never seen the Vita Clan's village before. They worried if they leave, the Sky People (The RDA) would try to invade their home unprotected. Dark assures them that their home is protected by a barrier that the island is making. This made everyone relieved, but soon vanished when a huge portal appeared behind Dark, causing them to gasp and mutter to themselves. Dark assures them that this portal (groundbridge) will take them to her village. This terrified yet interested the Na'vi, watching as Dark instructed them to follow before she entered, disappearing from sight. They were hesitant, unsure if they were ready to follow. Jake, on the other hand, was curious, and decided to go in. Following him were Tsu'tey, Neytiri, and Chrissy. They too were curious about the mysterious floating island. Not long after, Grace, Norm, and the other villagers came after them. Once they reached the other side, they were shocked to see a lush filled island, surrounded by plants, flowers, and trees that were otherworldly to them. But to Jake, Chrissy, Norm, and Grace, it looked like they were in the Garden of Eden. It has been a long time since they saw earthly plants, but seeing them here makes them wonder what else the Vita Clan has in store.
"Come on!" Dark calls out to them, showing them a hidden path. "The island has much to offer!"
Their curiosity got the better of them and they followed Dark to the path, admiring the trees that looked alive when they walked. When they reached a clearing, they were shocked to see giant metallic beasts and other alien-like beings. Dark introduces them as Predacons, Xenomorphs, Yautjas, and Cybertronians. Dark told them that they are allies and that they mean no harm. Even though they look intimidating, they show great respect. Predaking and Saphira are the leaders of the Predacons; the Na'vi believed that they were the Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk. Foxtrot, Diamond Silk, and Sage were bombarded with questions from Grace and Norm, mostly Norm. He wanted to know more about these robotic sentient beings and dimensional traveling. They explained to them with the help of Tech, who the Na'vi thought was a spirit.
The others came to greet them warmly, while making sure the Yautjas didn't try to fight them. It was hard enough to prevent them from hunting the animals here. At first, they were disappointed, but this world relies on a natural balance, and they didn't want to ruin it or disrespect it. Even though they wanted to hunt, they have a code to respect the natural order.
Val, Celestia, and Maisie greeted them happily, welcoming them and showing the island's resources, especially the magical fruits. Norm learned that from the hard way as he ate an air fruit that made him float. He was screaming while trying to get his body back to the ground, he was lucky that Jake got him before he could float away.
Grace learned from the Cybertronian scientists, stating that there are never-ending dimensions, showing different worlds and different earths. They came from another Earth that is still lush with life. Much to her envy and curiosity. They even told them that their floating village has a powerful energy that is shielding the Omatikaya's village from potential intruders.
Chrissy was admiring the structure of a clearing that is like a magical garden. As she admired them, she heard something from the bushes. Curious, Chrissy made her way to bushes, only to jump in surprise when a floating flute appeared, making cute sounds.
"Oh...hello?" Chrissy greeted in surprise, looking at the floating flute.
Just then, Val, Celestia, and Maisie came over to Chrissy, looking at the floating flute.
"Hi, Chrissy!" They greeted the woman.
Chrissy turned to them with a smile, "Hello, girls."
"You met one of the magical instruments." Val said happily.
Chrissy tilted her head, "Magical instruments?"
"Yeah! We met them on Dimension 0090! They're very good at making music." Celestia explained to Chrissy.
This caught Chrissy's interest. "Really?"
The trio nodded their heads, "Yeah! Wanna see?" Maisie asked Chrissy.
Of course she does. Chrissy nodded her head with a smile. The three girls smiled and called out the other instruments. Other instruments came to play. Chrissy was in awe at the sight, watching and listening as the instruments began playing a beautiful tune. The trio giggled and soon started dancing around. Chrissy giggled, watching the girls dance in amusement.
"Come on, Chrissy! Join us!" Val called out to her.
"Yeah!" Both Celestia and Maisie agreed with laughter.
Chrissy chuckles before joining in the dance. Chrissy took dance lessons when she was young, it made her feel free and happy. As they danced together, they gathered up a crowd. The Na'vi were curious about their dance while the clones of Stefano and Giovanna, Predacons, and their friends. Jake and Grace smiled at this, watching Chrissy dance beautifully. This also reminded Tsu'tey of his beloved, Sylwanin, she danced beautifully during festivals. And Chrissy dances just like her.
Soon, Chrissy gently grabs a little Na'vi boy's hands, bringing him to dance while his parents encourage him to go. Chrissy brings the laughing Na'vi boy to the center while dancing, before she goes off to Spider-Man, who tried to refuse, but ended up being pulled into the center, earning laughs from Dark and the Na'vi. Then, Chrissy went over to a male Na'vi, grabbing his hand and pulled him in, he yelped but he grabbed the hand of one of Giovanna's clones named Nevada, while she grabbed a male Na'vi's hand, and were dragged into the dance floor. Then she made her way to Neytiri, linking their arms together, laughing as they went to the dance floor.
Everyone clapped their hands together as they watched the group holding each other's hands, linking together, laughing, as Chrissy led them. Soon, everyone started joining in the dance, linking arms, spinning around, before going onto the next partners. Jake and Tsu'tey watched from the sidelines, seeing everyone dancing and laughing was a wonderful sight. Just then, Chrissy gestures to them to join in. However, they refused. However, Ripper, who was behind them, saw this and gave them a small nudge. Better yet, push. The two males were forced into the dance, being pulled in, but not before they glared at Ripper, who snorted in amusement.
Everyone danced around, laughing and cheering. Clearly, this is the way of making their alliance strong. Then both Chrissy and Tsu'tey saw each other while dancing around with the people. Chrissy gestures to come dance with her and he agrees, but as they were about to, Giovanna's clone and a male Na'vi dance between them and separate the two. Tsu'tey was dancing with the clone while Chrissy danced with the male Na'vi. She gave him an apologetic smile while Tsu'tey just nodded. While the floating instruments played, some Na'vi tried some of the earthly cuisines, mostly the fruits and pastries. The children enjoyed the cookies and cupcakes.
Dark watches from the sidelines, clapping to the beat as the Na'vi and her group were enjoying the dance. She knew that bringing them here was a good idea. This alliance is a good start. Their scientists were telling the Na'vi about other worlds and more, much to their interest. They even taught the children some new things like their world's heroes and protectors, catching their interest.
They continued their dance until the sun set. They all danced around into two big circles while some females were twirling on each corner. Jake was doing his best not to step on any one's feet while Chrissy and Neytiri danced elegantly through the crowd.
Soon, arms became linked and bodies pressed together. Tsu'tey was holding Chrissy while Jake was holding Neytiri. They stared at their partners before Chrissy and Neytiri gave their companions a smile, which they returned. The crowd erupted with cheers, applauding to the great dance that signified their union with their clans.
Tsu'tey and Chrissy locked eyes, staring at each other.
Chrissy could hear her heart pounding through her chest. She clearly needs to stop and let go of him. Otherwise, she will ruin the union between Tsu'tey and Neytiri. However, her said partner did not wish for her to let go. It's been so long since he held Sylwanin, and...It felt like her spirit was within Chrissy. Tsu'tey snaps out of his thoughts when he hears Chrissy clearing her throat. He looks at her with a raised brow as she gives him a sheepish smile.
{You...You are an excellent dancer.} She complimented shyly.
Tsu'tey couldn't help but smile at her. {You as well, but you dance more gracefully than I do.}
Chrissy chuckles sheepishly. {Thank you.} She said softly before Chrissy slowly realized that she was still holding his hands. {Um...you can let go.}
Tsu'tey looks at their intertwined hands. At first, he refused, he wanted this moment to last, but he could see the uncomfortable look that Chrissy was giving, and decided to do so. Once they let go, Chrissy thanked him and Tsu'tey responded with a nod.
Later that evening, a festival came. The Na'vi were enjoying the festival with their new allies. The Na'vi children played with the hybrid dinosaurs, mostly towards Ivy and Iris the Indominus Rex Sisters, Hunter the Indominus Spino, Ripper the Indoraptor, Spinny the Spinoraptor, and Snow the Mortiferous Raptor. Some younger Na'vi children were napping with Steven the Stegoceratops, completely exhausted from all the playing. Assassin the Indominus Spino stayed at the distance with Scorpina and Toxiclaw the Scorpios Rex Siblings. They wanted to join them, but they worried that their quills might stung the children and would be stung and poisoned. But it didn't stop the children from petting their snouts, which they allowed.
Dark was sitting on top of Mercury the ship, smirking in pride, as the alliance had become a success. She was holding a glass of wine, watching as the Na'vi interacted with her clan. This alliance can help turn the tide against the RDA. Speaking of that corrupted company, Dark activates a holo-screen, and saw the footage of Quaritch and Selfridge, both men were arguing on the fact that they were losing many bulldozers and men because of the Demon of Pandora (who was Destiny), and that they were wasting time with the negotiation. Quaritch reminds him that he lost good men when he sent them out to deal with that creature, but ended up with one survivor, who ended up being sedated after he became crazy. Dark smirk grew at the two men arguing. Dark knew that the RDA was slowly breaking apart due to the constant destruction of bulldozers, the death of soldiers, and the rumors of the demon going to destroy the people that dared to step into its territory.
-Dark.- Tech the A.I. Unit appeared besides Dark, arms behind her back. –I have decrypted a hidden file that the RDA has kept hidden in their deep database.-
Dark looks at Tech with interest. "Interesting...Why was it hidden?"
-It was a confidential project. The ones who know about this file are Quaritch, Selfridge, and some scientists that were personally assigned privately that not even Dr. Augustine knows about.- Tech explains to Dark.
Dark hums with interest and suspicion. The RDA was hiding something behind Grace's back. This she gotta see. "Thanks, Tech. Send in the file."
Tech bowed her head. –As you wish.-
Tech sends Dark the file and she begins reading the hidden file, but as she reads it, her face becomes serious and stern. As if, the information has horrifying truth. While she reads, Spider-Man comes swinging by his web with a piece of chocolate cake on a plate.
"Hey! Dark! Check it out! Jay and Damien brought their mom's famous chocolate cake and...Dark?" Spider-Man notices Dark's face was filled with seriousness. He knows that Dark found something important.
"Did you find something?" Spider-Man asked, coming over to her.
Dark nodded, "Yeah, Tech found something."
"Is it bad?"
"You have no idea." Dark mutters before looking at Spider-Man seriously, "Do you know what a doppelganger is?"
"Yeah, it's someone who looks just like you, but isn't related." Spider-Man answered Dark, "Why are you asking?"
"When we arrived at the Omatikaya village, I heard the conversation between Eytukan and Mo'at." Dark began her explanation. "They mentioned someone named Sylwanin. I didn't know who this Sylwanin is and what's their relation with her until Tech pulled out hidden archives, deep within RDA's database. That no one, not even Grace, knows about."
This caught Spider-Man's interest, "What were they hiding?"
Dark shows him the holographic screen. "This file."
The screen shows a female Na'vi with the name Sylwanin. Spider-Man looked at her and it didn't take long to learn the facial description.
"This is Sylwanin," Dark said to Spider-Man. "She was the eldest daughter of Eytukan and Mo'at, and Neytiri's older sister."
"Wow...she looks just like Chrissy's avatar." Spider-Man said in shock before he realized Dark's words, "Wait, what do you mean by 'was'?"
"Sylwanin was killed two years ago by RDA." Dark answered, shocking him in the process.
"Wha-They killed her?! Why?!" Spider-Man explains, grabbing the holo screen with both his hands, dropping the cake in the process. Luckily, Dark uses her magic to levitate it before it could spill and lets it float besides Spider-Man.
"From what I read, Sylwanin was once a student of Grace Agustin's school, where she taught the Na'vis how to speak English. However, she stopped coming to the school." Dark explains to Spider-Man about Sylwanin.
"Why?"
"Apparently, she was angry about the clear-cutting that RDA was doing to get the Unobtainium."
"Who can blame her? This is her home. They shouldn't have cut everything."
"True, but one day, she and a couple of other young hunters came running in, all painted up, and they'd set a bulldozer on fire, and ran back to the school."
"Yikes..." Spider-Man said, looking at the picture of Sylwanin, "But why did they go back to the school?"
"They thought that Dr. Agustin could protect them." Dark said as she looked at the screen grimly. "Yet, it wasn't so. The mercenaries working with the RDA pursued them to the school and killed Sylwanin in the doorway. Right in front of Neytiri. Yet their killing spree wasn't over, they shot the others and the students that weren't involved. Agustin was able to get most of the kids out to safety, barely escaping the onslaught."
Spider-Man's eyes widened in horror. No wonder the Omatikaya hate the RDA, they killed their children.
"They...really did that?" Spider-Man whispers out sympathetically. "They killed Neytiri's sister and the children? Don't they care?! They just killed children! They had families!"
Dark nodded her head solemnly, "Mercenaries show no remorse or pity, and they just kill and get paid. That's all they care about."
Spider-Man looks at the picture of Sylwanin sadly. Feeling terrible for the loss and the pain that Neytiri, her parents, and fallen children's parents have felt for the loss. It felt like they were in Hell's Island (the island that Renaldo Mortem experimented on children with), where it imprisoned and experimented children to be super soldiers. They manage to escape and free the four survivors (Leonidas, Andrew, Cornelia, and Destiny), and give them freedom and a new life. But the RDA...it's much worse. They wanted to exploit the planet's resources, destroying a village, and killing the natives. They're just like Mortem, people that only care for money and not the people.
"But that's not all." Dark said, showing Spider-Man more information. "The RDA was getting desperate, they wanted the Omatikaya to leave their ancestral home, so they could get Unobtainium faster."
"Wha...what do they do?"
"They decided the only way for the clan to leave is to make them by bringing them back the one they love."
"...Sylwanin..." Spider-Man spoke softly in realization.
"That's right, the RDA knew the only way to make Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk to leave is to bring back their daughter." Dark explains to him the truth.
"But...the RDA killed Sylwanin, how can they bring her back?"
"Simple, they find someone who shares the same looks and genetic coding as Sylwanin." Dark said, showing Spider-Man the human picture of Chrissy and the picture of Sylwanin.
Spider-Man's eyes widen at the sight of the pictures. The two of them may be different species, but their facial features were identical to each other. And what's more shocking is that the RDA took some of Sylwanin's DNA and fused with Chrissy's. With that information, Spider-Man's eyes bulged up, almost popping out from his sockets.
"They took her DNA?!" He exclaimed in horror.
"Yup, they use her DNA mixed with Chrissy's human DNA. Thus creating Chrissy's avatar, but here's another shocking information." Dark shows Spider-Man a certain file, "The private scientists that Selfridge hired to create this secret project, discovered that both Chrissy and Sylwanin are different species, but they have the same genetic features and similar DNAs."
"Is that even possible?!"
"Can be, if you do your research." Dark said to Spider-Man seriously. "That is why they chose Chrissy. For her avatar was such a perfect match and creation. She is the only human being who has an alien doppelganger on Pandora."
"That's...That's...I don't know what to say? It's..."
"Overwhelming? Mind-blowing?" Dark questions him, earning a nod from him. "Same as well, Spidey. However, there was a reason why they took Chrissy in the program, and it's not because of her smarts."
Spider-Man felt a sense of dread coming to his stomach, as he is not going to like the information that she was going to give. "What are they going to do to her?"
"They were going to use her as leverage."
Spider-Man turned towards in disbelief. "They were going to what?"
"The RDA hired Chrissy for a reason, and that is a negotiation tool." Dark said with a hint of anger. "They knew that Neytiri, her parents, and Tsu'tey still miss Sylwanin, and they don't want to see her die again. This was their opportunity to see them vulnerable."
Spider-Man catches up with her words. "They were going to use Chrissy as a hostage."
"Yes, an exchange to move out of their village for her life." Dark said, already figuring out the consequences. "But knowing the RDA, they never keep their promise, they're going to plan on putting Chrissy on cryogenic preservation."
"A cyro-what now?!" Spider-Man almost exclaimed, skimming through the file. "They were going to freeze her?!"
"To keep her mind alive." Dark answered, "Turns out, the RDA needed Chrissy's avatar more than her human self. So, by putting her body in a cryogenic preservation, her mind will forever be in her avatar, in prison by them, and the only way for them to keep the Omatikaya away from their village."
Spider-Man shook his head, trying to absorb all the information, "These people are monsters." He whispers before looking back to the party.
He was surprised that no one could hear his outburst, due to the floating instruments playing music, and seeing them celebrating makes Spider-Man worry for their future. They can't lose their home. The RDA will not take it from them.
"Does Dr. Agustin know about this?" Spider-Man asked Dark.
"No, she is completely oblivious to the fact that they were doing this behind her back, and what's worse. They're using her daughter for their own personal gain, their trump card."
"...They need to know about this as soon as possible." Spider-Man said, referring to Chrissy and the others.
"They will, but not today." Dark said to Spider-Man. "Right now, let's celebrate the alliance. We'll tell them tomorrow after Jake and Chrissy complete their training on riding on a banshee."
Spider-Man nodded in understanding before looking back at the party, "We should join them."
"You go ahead, I need to finish up the work here." Dark said while holding up the cake that Spider-Man brought. "And enjoying this cake."
Spider-Man smiles under his mask, "You know that's my cake, right?"
Dark shrugs her shoulder, "Meh, you almost dropped it."
"Fair enough." Spider-Man said before firing his web at a nearby tree. "See ya later!"
Spider-Man swings down from the ship and joins in the party, leaving Dark to do her work. Once he leaves, Dark simply looks up head with a blank expression.
"You know what to do, right? Destiny?" Dark questions before turning around to see Destiny, standing behind her with a deadpan expression. "Go to the RDA base, memorize every nuke and cranny of it, the schedules, grab some samples, and...Oh! Make sure some soldiers don't get any sleep tonight."
After Dark listed the things Destiny needs to do, the deadly experiment just nodded her head with no questions asked. Dark smirks at this and hands her the cake. Knowing that Destiny will give them nightmares.
"Good girl, make sure you don't get caught."
Again, Destiny nodded and took the cake from Dark's hand. She turns and leaves, heading off to do her job. Dark watches as Destiny jumps off Mercury and heads to the RDA's base. She knows that Destiny's going to bring hell on that base. No one, not even the security, will discover her. For Destiny is a force to be reckoned with.
"They have no idea who they are dealing with." Dark mutters out to herself.
I hope you guys like the chapter. I am postponing because I need to finish my work and I need a break. Hope you understand. And if you have ideas for Chrissy's Na'vi name, please leave it in the comments or PM me.
