I would like to thank everyone for sending the name ideas for Chrissy's Na'vi name. And I have chosen the name for Chrissy in the story. Once again, thank you for giving me name ideas.
PS: For those who are not patient, please don't force me to write a story that I have yet to think of a storyline. It's stressing me out, and I'm busy with extra work. Thank you.
Enjoy.
Val, Celestia, and Maisie stood in front of the crowd. Wearing their white dresses, made by the Na'vi seamstress. They were at the village, gathered together with the entire clan for the ceremony. They waited patiently for Jake and Chrissy to come out after the preparations. They were excited to see the successful training. Although they were worried about Chrissy. Ever since she came to visit them, she barely talked nor smiled. As if something bad happened. They asked her if she was okay, and her response was a forced smile and a nod, but they knew something was wrong.
"Here they come!" Damien called out.
All eyes turned towards Chrissy and Jake, both emerging from the entrance. They were painted with white swirl around their bodies. Behind them were Neytiri and Tsu'tey, following them after they helped the two for their ceremony. Everyone smiled at the sight of them, proud that they succeeded in their training. Grace's eyes were brimming with emotions. Proud, relieved, and amazed. When the two avatar drivers went to the center. Then Eytukan was at the center when the two new members walked to him. He places both of his hands on Jake and Chrissy's chests, and holds them there.
"Ngenga 'itan 'ite Omatikayaä luyu set. Na'viyä luyu hapxì." Eytukan spoke towards the two uniltìrantokx. You are now a son and daughter of the Omaticaya. You are part of the People.
Soon, all the members of the clan press forward, crowding around and putting their hands on Jake and Chrissy's shoulders, backs, and chests. Then all hands on hands, until they are connected to everyone, like a strong chain of bond. With that bond, Jake and Chrissy felt a strong connection with the people. When they became a member, they received their Na'vi names.
Jake's name is Tsyeyk Suli while Chrissy's name is Lomasi te Kìreysì'ite (Daughter of Grace), and they accepted their Na'vi names.
Dark was watching the whole thing from the corner, smirking at the ceremony, as she was proud that they succeeded. However, it vanished when Tech sent her a message. She activated the holo-screen and saw that Selfridge was going to send some bulldozers to a certain location tomorrow. Dark shuts off the holo-screen, she will deal with that later. Right now, it was time for a celebration. The Omaticaya and Vita celebrated their union as well as Jake and Chrissy being part of the Omaticaya.
Dark stood nearby, watching as many members congratulated welcoming the two avatar drivers to the clan.
"Vawm'aw."
Dark turns to see Eytukan and Mo'at coming towards her. {Greetings, Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk, is there something you need?} She asked in their native tongue.
{No, we wish to thank you for being our allies.} Eytukan said to Dark with great respect. {I hope our alliance will continue to be strong.}
Dark nodded her head, {It will continue to be strong, no matter what. Just don't lose faith to one another.}
{I must admit, you Sky People are more respectful to our planet than other ones.} Mo'at confessed, referring to the RDA.
Dark smirks in amusement. {Like I said, we are different from our rivals.} She said to the two leaders before noticing them looking in a certain direction.
Following their gaze, she saw them looking at Chrissy, talking with other Na'vi females, giggling about as one told a joke. Dark mentally sighs, knowing that they were still connected to their deceased daughter, Sylwanin.
{You've been looking at Chrissy since we arrived at your village." Dark said towards the two leaders. {Is it because she looks like your daughter, your eldest daughter, Sylwanin.}
Both Eytukan and Mo'at were shocked by her words.
{How did you...} Mo'at's words were trailed off when Dark lifted her hand.
{I know what the RDA did to her and innocent children that fall victim to killing. What they did was savage, and they should've left things as they are, but they always take what they want. The clan that took the lives of your children are evil and care only for themselves. That is why our clan wishes to make things right. To show you that not all Sky People are evil.}
{And you have.} Eytukan said to Dark. {Your clan helped and protected our forest, we wish for this alliance to continue.}
{Oh, it will, but there's something you need to know.} Dark suddenly said to them, eyes narrowed seriously. {The RDA...did something horrible. That is...if you wish to hear it.}
Both Eytukan and Mo'at weren't sure what she meant, but they knew it was important. They agreed and Dark told them the truth of what the RDA was doing, and why Chrissy was so important. As they listened, they were shocked yet horrified at this information. The RDA were not only monsters, but heartless vrrteps (demons). They stole the blood of Sylwanin, to create Chrissy's avatar, and used her as some sort of tool to give up their village. Unbeknownst to them, Tsu'tey was listening from behind a tree, horrified by what he was hearing. How could they do this to Sylwanin and Chrissy? Sylwanin was killed by them, and now desecrated her death, by creating a replica of her body. And Chrissy was tricked by them, and now she walks through the body of his former lover. He also learned that Chrissy felt ashamed along with Jake. Chrissy didn't know what they were planning until now, and wanted to stop this, even if it meant stopping visiting them, which broke their hearts. They planned to get them out of the RDA's base and bring them back to their village, Isola Della Vita, where they can be safe. Allowing her and her team to disband and bring the RDA back to their dying planet, for good.
They agreed to this offer, wanting to rid the RDA from their home. Dark already got Foxtrot and others onboard on the plan, knowing that Pandora shouldn't suffer anymore. While they discuss this, Tsu'tey quickly leaves and searches for Chrissy, wanting to check on her. However, upon arrival, he could not see her nor Jake, thinking that they had wandered off somewhere. He asks around, and eventually, one of the male members in the Vita Clan named Jay informs him that Neytiri approached Jake and Chrissy, wanting to show them a special place, something about a tree with voices. Tsu'tey understood where they were and left the village, heading towards a certain destination.
Dark watches from afar, knowing that Tsu'tey wishes to comfort Chrissy. He's not angry, he was just concerned about her, and she knows that he wanted to rescue her from RDA.
Neytiri brings them to what appears to be a willow glade. Everyone admired the glowing alien trees. The trunks are as gnarled as bonsai. Long faintly glowing tendrils hang straight down in pastel curtains. Underfoot, a bed of moss glows faintly. It reacts to their footsteps with expanding rings of light. It is an exquisitely beautiful spot. The willows stir, responding to their presence. Neytiri holds up her hands, letting the tendrils caress her.
"What is this place?" Chrissy asked in awe.
"This is a place for prayers to be heard. And sometimes answered." Neytiri responded with a smile, before using her kuru (the neural queue) and attached it with the tendrils. She could hear voices within them. "We call these trees Utraya Mokri."
"The Tree of Voices." Chrissy translated with awe. Looking at the magical trees around them.
Neytiri smiled and nodded, "The voices of our ancestors. I can hear them."
Jake and Chrissy follow her lead, hearing many gentle voices of the deceased Na'vi speaking through them.
"They live," Neytiri said to the two Avatar Drivers kindly, "Within Eywa."
"Amazing..." Chrissy whispers, listening to the voices. "They sound...happy and...Sad...but...they are not afraid."
"They are not afraid, for they are with Eywa, and Eywa gives them courage and love." Neytiri said, placing a hand on Chrissy's shoulder. "You and Jake are Omaticaya now. That means Eywa will watch over you."
Chrissy smiles at her softly but then she recalls what Dark said to her and the others before the ceremony.
They fuse your DNA with Sylwanin, and create your avatar as their leverage.
That's right. The RDA was using her as some sort of tool to get the village. She didn't want to be the cause of the destruction of the Omaticaya. She has to leave, she has to, so no one could get hurt.
"I am honored, Neytiri, but I feel like I must leave. I do not wish to cause destruction to your home because of me."
Confused by her words, Neytriri looks at Chrissy with curious eyes. "What do you mean?"
Jake places a hand on Chrissy's shoulder. "Take it easy, Chrissy."
Chrissy shook her head, "No, Jake, she has the right to know." Chrissy said sternly, her voice filled with pain and sadness, as she turned towards Neytiri. "Neytiri, you should know the truth of what the RDA has done to you...your people...and your sister."
Neytiri looks at her with concerned eyes as Chrissy almost begins to cry.
"They took your sister's blood and created this body...because...they wanted to use me as a tool to get you and your people to leave your hometree...I have stolen the body of your sister. I shouldn't be part of your clan."
Hearing her words, Neytiri didn't show any signs of anger nor sadness. Instead, Neytiri embraces Chrissy, showing no signs of aggression or sadness.
"I know." Neytiri whispers, looking at Chrissy.
Jake and Chrissy were both surprised by her words. "You know?" Jake asked quietly.
"Yes, I heard you speaking with Vawm'aw, and I heard everything." Neytiri said sadly, not noticing Jake's guilty expression. "You also have been tricked by the Sky People, your own kin, being betrayed and being used as their tool. But you are more than that, you are tsmuke Omatikaya, sister of the Omatikaya. It doesn't matter if you possess my sister's body, for you are you, and no one will change for who you are."
Chrissy smiles at Neytiri's words. She returns the embrace, feeling the weight of burden lifted from her shoulders.
{Thank you, Neytiri.} Chrissy thanked her in Na'vi.
As they let go, they heard incoming footsteps. The trio turned to see Tsu'tey was running over to them. He was relieved to see Chrissy was all right.
"Lomasi!" Tsu'tey called out to Chrissy in her Na'vi name.
{Tsu'tey? Is there something wrong?} Chrissy asked in concern.
Tsu'tey came over to her, eyes filled with relief that she was still okay. {I heard from the Vawm'aw about everything.}
Chrissy froze, feeling that she might have angered him.
{I...am sorry...}
Tsu'tey shook his head. {It is not your fault, Lomasi. I am actually here to help you and Tsyeyk on your escape from your village.} He said, referring to Hell's Gate.
Chrissy was touched by his words. Knowing that his love towards Sylwanin hasn't died nor tainted. He doesn't care if she was walking the flesh and blood of his deceased lover, for he worries for his people's safety, which includes Chrissy.
{Do not worry, Tsu'tey. Dark Twilight has made a plan of escape for us. You will not need to worry. Right, Jake?} There was no response from Jake, causing Chrissy and the two Na'vi to look at him. "Jake?"
They notice Jake was staring at something behind them. Following his gaze, they saw Destiny standing near the trees, staring at them blankly. They stared at the strange girl, wondering who she was or what she was. However, Jake recognizes her as the girl that appears out of nowhere.
"It's that girl I told you about." Jake whispers out. "You can see her, right?"
"Yes...we can..." Tsu'tey answers quietly, not taking his eyes off the mysterious girl. "Who is she? Is she part of the Vita Clan?"
"That...we don't know." Jake said quietly, still not taking his eyes off Destiny. "I think she's friendly..."
"Should...we go and ask her?" Chrissy asked hesitatingly.
There was a brief awkward silence from the group, unsure whether or not they should talk to Destiny. The highly experimented girl stared at them with no signs of aggression, but intelligent. Jake decided to be the one who will speak. Clearing his throat and looking at Destiny with a wary expression.
"Um...Hi..." He greeted her awkwardly, and received no response. "Are you...um...Are you friends with the Vita Clan?"
To their surprise, Destiny responded with a simple nod of her head.
Jake, Chrissy, Neytiri, and Tsu'tey looked at each other, unsure on what to do in this situation, before turning back to Destiny. She was emitting a strange energy that they should be wary yet must also understand.
"Are you here to help the Omaticaya?" Jake asked.
Again, Destiny nodded, making them least tense.
"Why are you here?" Chrissy asked Destiny, feeling a little ease that she wanted to help.
There was no response from Destiny. Making them think that she is mute. But before they could come close, the tree's tendrils moved by the wind, blocking their view from Destiny, and when the tendrils stopped, Destiny was gone. Now, they were confused and slightly nervous by the fact that Destiny appeared and disappeared without a trace. They decided to head back and asked Dark about the strange girl since she holds the answers they need. As they leave the Tree of Voices, they weren't aware that Destiny was watching them from afar.
She has a reason to be here, and leaving was important. From what she heard in the RDA, they are planning to send some bulldozers to the Tree of Voices, in order to clear a path to Hometree in preparation for mining the rich Unobtanium deposit there. However, they failed to calculate that she's going to protect it, and sent a message to the RDA for daring to destroy a sacred site. And they will do it on purpose in order to turn the Na'vi hostile and instigate a war in order to justify using brute force to take the Na'vi's resources.
That won't happen, it won't happen at all.
On the next day, the avatar drivers were back on Hell's Gate. They learned from Dark that the girl they saw at the Tree of Voices was a friend of theirs name Destiny, who is the powerhouse of their team that shouldn't be messing with at all. And the reason why she was the powerhouse, is because of her immense powers that she was going to use against the incoming threats.
As such, the bulldozers came early and were heading towards the Tree of Voices, ready to tear it down. However, something happened. The machines' scanners couldn't pick up Destiny's signature, as she was hidden within the tendrils of the Tee of Voices, glaring at the bulldozers. As the vehicles advance, Destiny spots a Fan lizard (Kenten in Na'vi) crawling over to her from a rock that she stood next to. It jumps onto her shoulder, resting itself while it looks at her. Destiny gave it gentle pats on the head before turning towards the incoming bulldozers. The ground shook, indicating they were close, but before they could set foot to the sacred ground, Destiny's eyes flashed red.
The machines stopped midway, engines stopped working all together.
And watching through the cameras were the people in the control room, Selfridge, and Quaritch. They were confused on why the bulldozers stopped midway from the Tree of Voices. The technicians were searching for a way to reconnect them, but to no avail.
"What the hell is going on?! Why aren't these machines working?" Selfridge questions the technicians impatiently.
"Sir...we don't know! They just...stopped on their own." Said the female technician, trying to fix the problem.
"Do it faster!" Selfridge ordered, demanding them to do it.
While the technicians tried to fix the problem, Destiny stares at the bulldozers blankly, her powers override the RDA's remote control systems. They lost their control over their machines, and now...they will understand the consequences when messing with nature, for nature can fight back. And in which case, Destiny will fight back.
Placing the Fan Lizard down, and giving some extra pats on the head, Destiny walks forward to the bulldozers, still invisible, but soon her eyes transformed into a serpent. And the next thing the RDA knew, Destiny in her Krylock form appeared out of thin air, roaring at the bulldozers.
"The fuck! The thing is there!?" Quaritch exclaimed in shock.
"How come bulldozers didn't detect it!?" Selfridge exclaimed, eyes widened that almost popped out from his sockets.
"It just...appeared!" Said a male technician.
Destiny's Krylock form releases a hiss-like roar, jabbing her massive scorpion pincers at the machine, creating a huge hole and removing the engines. She uses her scorpion tail to jab the next bulldozer, and lifts it from the ground and smashes it to the other bulldozer. Destiny releases a powerful hiss-like roar that echoes through the forest, scaring away the bird-like aliens from the trees, as she continues destroying the bulldozers with great ferocity.
"Holy shit..." A male technician mutters out, feeling cold sweat from his forehead, watching fearfully as Destiny tore apart a bulldozer. "That thing is relentless."
"Try and shoot that thing already!" Selfridge ordered them.
"We can't! The bulldozers are not built with any arsenal!" A female technician said, watching fearfully as Destiny jumped and crashed on top of a bulldozer, like a tin can. One by one, Destiny destroyed all the bulldozers, disconnecting their cameras from the RDA's base.
Selfridge swears under his breath before turning to Quaritch, "Send your soldiers on the scorpions and shoot that thi-"
HHHHHHIIIIISSSssss...
A cold and deadly hiss was heard from the screen. Everyone, including Selfridge, turned towards the last surviving camera, and to their horror. Destiny's snake eyes were glaring at it, almost making it look like she was glaring at them. Even though they were far from her, they could feel that she was right here in this room. Her glare was so cold, that sent shivers to everyone's spines. Quaritch was the only one who was not fazed by this. He stayed rooted where he stands, glaring back at Destiny's Krylock form, almost as if they were having a glaring competition. However, it didn't last long as Destiny releases a powerful roar at the camera, sending the feed backed to the base. Everyone in the room was forced to cover their ears and fall on their knees, yelling in agony as Destiny continued her roar. In about ten seconds, Destiny stops her roar, and without any warning, bites off the camera from the bulldozer, leaving nothing but static on the screen.
Everyone in the room was now terrified of the outcome. They just witnessed the wrath of Pandora's Demon. They began to believe that they had been cursed by the natives, and that their action led to the consequences of that demon appearing to destroy them. However, Selfridge and Quaritch did not believe in superstition, thinking that this creature was nothing more than a mindless beast that can be killed easily.
"I'll have my men ready to head out at noon; we'll give that thing something to chew on and once it's gone, we go to the village." Quaritch said, stern and controlling.
Quaritch's words are like his law, what he says must be followed, and no one, not even Selfridge, could question him.
However, unbeknownst to them, Chrissy watches the whole thing, hidden within the corner of the hallway. She was horrified by what she had heard, and she needed to go to the village to warn the group. She quickly leaves without being spotted and heads to the link room, where Norm, Jake, and Grace were waiting for her.
"Chrissy, are you okay?" Grace asked her daughter in concern, holding her in her arms.
Chrissy shook her head, looked around in the room, only to see a few scientists, including Patel, in here. Chrissy looks at her mother and whispers.
"No, mom. It's okay. Selfridge and Quaritch are going to attack the village, we need to warn them." She whispers to her and to the others about the bosses' plan.
Hearing this, they hastily went to the link beds, with fake information that they needed to collect some final samples that they needed. It was a good enough excuse, and the four Avatar Drivers quickly linked to their avatar bodies, rushing into the village, and were greeted by the sight of Dark and Spider-Man with Eytukan and Mo'at.
"Dark!" Jake yells out, rushing towards her with the others trailing behind.
Dark stops at her tracks to look at Jake. "Whoa, Jake! Slow down! What's wrong?"
Jake stops at his tracks to catch his breath. "You were right! RDA has gone AWOL! They're going to attack the village at any moment!"
"What?! Why?!" Spider-Man asked in shock.
"They saw a video feed of Destiny protecting the forest." Chrissy said, stepping forward. "Quaritch is going to send scorpion gunships and bulldozers. I don't think Destiny can withstand them."
"Sweetheart, trust me on this, but Destiny can destroy an entire city if she wants to." Dark said, causing everyone to be flabbergasted by her words.
"But she won't!" Spider-Man interjected.
"Anyways," Dark turned towards Eytukan and Mo'at and spoke in their native tongue. { Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk, tell your people to get ready. Send the children, elderly, and pregnant women to the safety bunker we made.}
They nodded their heads and quickly gathered everyone to the center of their village. Eytukan informs his people of the upcoming danger, making them worried while some become angry at the Evil Sky People. Thinking that they could take what they want. But not a chance. Dark and her team made a safety bunker beneath the Hometree. There, the children, elderly, and pregnant women can be safe while her team helps the warriors.
"Tobi! We need you!" Dark called out to Tobi, who was carrying Val, Celestia, and Maisie to the bunker.
Hearing this, Tobi nodded his head, setting the girls down, before doing sign language. I must go and help Dark. Stay with the group, I'll be back.
They nodded their heads and Maisie hugged her brother, "Be safe!" She whispers, earning a gentle pat on the head from Tobi.
As they entered the bunker, Jake and Chrissy were about to get their bows and arrows, when Dark stopped them from coming forward.
"You two should sit this one out." Dark said to them.
"What?" Jake asked in shock, "Hell, no! I am not letting them do this alone!" Jake said, standing his ground. "The RDA tricked us to destroy their Hometree, we can't let this happen!"
"I understand your devotion, Sully. But if the RDA spots you, Chrissy, Norm, or Dr. Augustine. If they caught sight of you guys, you'll be imprisoned and our plan of transporting you guys to safety will go down the drain."
"She's right, you two." Grace said in agreement, placing a hand onto her daughter's shoulder. "We can't get spotted by them, we have to stay hidden."
"Yeah, they think we're collecting samples somewhere far from the village." Norm added.
"But-" Chrissy was cut off when Neytiri and Tsu'tey came with their weapons ready.
"We will be fine, tsmuke." Neytiri assures Chrissy, "We will manage."
"Are you sure? We can help." Chrissy offered.
Tsu'tey shook his head, "No. Lomasi. Vawm'aw is right. You and Tsyeyk stay hidden with those who cannot fight. We cannot risk you all getting captured. This for all of your safety."
"We can't let you fight alone." Jake said to the group.
"We are not alone." Mo'at said to Jake assuredly. "The Vita Clan has prepared a magical shield to protect us."
Jake wants to ask about it, until they hear a horn blowing for the trees, indicating that Quaritch and his men are arriving. As much as they want to disagree, they have a point. They cannot let the RDA find out their plans. So, without a choice, they agreed, and stayed back while Dark, her team, and the Omatikaya prepared for battle. They all head to a small cliffside near their Hometree, bows and arrows ready. Dark and her team remained hidden within the trees, camouflaged, and their electrical pulse firearms were ready.
Not long after, the RDA's scorpion gunships and bulldozers came to view, heading towards the village. The bulldozers had to be taken to a different route, which was difficult due to using a difficult route that they had to take in order to transport the remaining bulldozers to their location.
"We have visuals." Dark contact the others through coms, "I see some bulldozers and a swarm of gunships coming in front. Devlin, Meygana, prepare your electrical spells on the Omatikaya's arrows."
-Already on it, Dark.- Devlin said through the comm.
She and Meygana send magical waves around the arrows of the Omatikaya's warriors. They watched in fascination as they felt a surge of power coming from their arrows.
{Get ready, our rival Sky People are here.} Dark informs them telepathically, seeing incoming gunships.
Sure enough, there were a dozen gunships heading their way. Dark tells the Omatikaya Clan to brace themselves as the gunships' propellers create powerful winds. But the Omatikaya stood their ground, letting out battle cries at the gunships. They show no signs of fear, for their allies are there to help them.
"Look at them," Quaritch said to his men, gesturing towards the Omatikaya with mocking eyes. "They have no idea what they're up against."
Poor, Quaritch, that the stakes are low for him and his men. For lo and behold, the Vita Clan had given the Omatikaya chance against the RDA.
As Quaritch ordered his men to fire smoke grenades at the village, thinking that it would scare them. Until suddenly...the grenades disappeared in thin air. As if, the grenades weren't even thrown. This stunned the soldiers, especially Quaritch. Something was up, and he did not like it.
"Fire again!" Quaritch ordered.
Soon enough, the gunships fired yet more grenades at the village, only with the same results, disappeared into thin air. Quaritch and his men stared in disbelief at what was just happening. Sharing the same thoughts. There was no way the grenades could disappear like that. However, they have no idea who they are dealing with. Turns out, Cornelia (a psychic experiment) was using her abilities to make the grenades vanish, placing them in a small pocket dimension.
"The hell's going on!?" Quaritch yelled, demanding to know what was happening.
"We-We don't know!" Yelled the male pilot. "We fired about twenty grenades, but something's makin'...I don't...disappear?"
"Nothing can disappear in thin air!" Says Quaritch to his pilot. "Shoot them!"
The gunships readied their guns to fire at the Omatikaya, but Dark gave the signal through telepathy.
"Now, Tobi!"
Before gunships could fire, Tobi appeared out of thin air, but in his beastly form. Quaritch and his men were in complete shock at the sight of Tobi. They have never seen this creature in their stay on Pandora. Tobi lets out a call that resembles an Orangutan. Beating his chest to show intimidation, which it works, but Quaritch quickly took it as a sign of hostility.
"Fire!" Quaritch ordered his men.
They obey their Colonel and quickly shoot at Tobi. Unfortunately, for them, they were not fast enough. Tobi raises his four hands and claps them together, spreading them wide as they release a light-green energy barrier that protects the entire Hometree. The Omatikaya stares at the barrier in awe, watching it cover their home as a giant dome. Yet the bullets have no effect in the dome, for it incinerated the bullets when they made contact.
"The hell?!" Quaritch exclaimed, eyes almost popping out from his sockets. "How is this possible?!"
Meanwhile, at the control room of the RDA, everyone inside watched the whole scene from the screen with wide eyes. They were speechless at the sight before them. They have not seen this creature before, nor ever when they arrive in Pandora.
"What the Hell is that thing!?" Selfridge exclaimed in anger and shock.
"Sir, it's not in Pandora's wildlife database." Said a female technician to Selfridge.
"How's that possible?! What the hell is it doing?!" Selfridge points at the barrier that was blocking the bullets while shielding the village.
The technicians scanned the unknown barrier, and what's shocking was that the result shows a high energy level, almost short circuiting their computers.
"S-Sir this...creature...is emitting unknown energy signatures." Stuttered a male technician, completely flabbergasted at the sight of the energy signature that Tobi was emitting.
"Dammit!" Selfridge yells angrily before grabbing the microphone, "Colonel, fire the missiles at it!"
And so he did, Quaritch had his soldiers commence fire at the barrier with the missiles. But as the missiles came into contact with the barrier, they instantly exploded, covering it with smoke. The soldiers thought they got through the barrier, but sadly for them, when the smoke cleared, the barrier was still intact and the Omatikaya were still standing, unharmed.
"It didn't even make a dent!" Yelled Wainfleet to Quaritch from the comm. "That thing is like titanium or somethin'!?"
"Titanium my ass." Dark mutters out, hidden within the trees along with the others, who readied their electrical pulse rifles. "Shoot at the guns."
Obeying her command, the clones shoot at the guns on the gunships. When the electrical pulse made contact with the guns attached to ships, jamming them, and preventing them from using.
"The fuck!? The guns are jammed!" Wainfleet yelled, trying to get the gun to work.
{Now's your chance! Shoot them!} Dark told the Omatikaya.
Eytukan nodded and shouted to his people. "'Eko!" Attack!
Without hesitation, the Omatikaya shoot they're magically powered arrows at the gunships, passing through the barrier like a knife through butter, and striking the gunships. The electrical arrows causes interferences with the engines and tech, almost falling off the sky.
"Since when can their arrows do that?!" Yelled a male pilot.
Trudy, who was among the scorpion flyers, was able to dodge the attack, only a single arrow grazed her window. She could see sparks of electricity from it, surprising her in the process.
"The fuck..." Trudy mutters out.
It didn't take her long to realize the arrows that the Omatikaya were using have been modified to mess with their tech. Meanwhile, hidden within the trees under the bunker were Jake, Grace, Chrissy, and Norm. They watched as the battle was upheld. They were relieved that the Vita Clan was giving the Omatikaya an upper hand. Although they are worried about Trudy, since they could see her from afar, in her gunship.
"We have to help Trudy." Jake said to his group. "We need her to get out of there."
"Jake, we can't go out there." Grace said to Jake, "They'll spot us and drag our asses out of their links."
"I know, I know, but we need to help her and the others somehow." Jake said, observing the battle within the safety of trees.
As he did so, he noticed some pilots were avoiding the arrows from the hitting propellers. He knew that if the electrified arrows hit them, they would lose their flight. Just then, Jake realizes something. One of Dark's teammates named Cornelia is a psychic, who can read and message through the mind. He needed to make contact with her. The only question is...Will she answer?
"Cornelia? Are you there? Can you hear me?" Jake thought loudly, praying if she could hear him.
It didn't take long for Cornelia to respond.
"Yes, I can hear you Jake, what is it?"
Jake sighs in relief before telling her the reason. "Informed the others to hit the propellers, that's the weak points, you need to make them back up, so they can shoot the weak point. Also...can you try and you know...send a message to Trudy to back off?"
"I understand. I will link with the others, so you can tell them."
With that, Cornelia connected with everyone's minds, as Jake tells them what to do, and how to stop the gunships. Dark realizes that Jake was right. They need to take down the propellers. So, Dark ordered Tobi to widen the barrier, which he did, and forcing the gunships to back off. Giving enough time for the Omatikaya to fire their arrows at the propellers. But before they do so, Cornelia has to get Trudy out of there by sending a message to Trudy to back off. At first, the pilot was shock, but she knew deep down that her Colonel was doing something wrong. She rather have peace with the Na'vi instead of starting a war with them. Trudy quickly backed off without questioning the voice in her head, ignoring Wainfleet yell. When she backed off, Jake quickly signaled Omatikaya to fire all their arrows at the propellers, and they did. Fortunately, they were able to hit some, thanks to Cornelia's psychic ability to shield the arrows from being blown away.
Slowly, and surely, each gunship was losing flight, many pilots were yelling out, 'Mayday! Mayday!' or 'We're lost power!', but that's not all. The barrier that Tobi created began to expand, exploding bulldozers when made contact. The technicians inform Selfridge and Quaritch that the barrier was emitting a powerful energy that can overload their machinery. They can't last there.
Which is true since a giant boulder came out of nowhere, crashing to a gunship which exploded. This startled everyone, including the Omatikaya, for they had not seen that coming.
Their expression quickly changed when Destiny, in her Krylock form, emerged from the trees, roaring loudly at the gunship. The soldiers were in a panic while the Omatikaya cheered at their protector, happy to see her to help them in their time of battle. Sure enough, Destiny helped the Omatikaya by attacking the gunship. She opens her snake jaws and releases a powerful energy beam at the gunships. The pilots quickly out maneuvered it, but some weren't so lucky, as the two gunships exploded on impact, killing the pilots and marines inside.
"Holy Shit!" Yelled a pilot that was able to evade attack.
However, before anyone could react, Destiny lets out a sonic roar at them, and their eardrums almost explode. Tobi uses his power to shield the ears of the Omatikaya, preventing them from getting their ears hurt. Destiny's sonic roar causes all the bulldozers to malfunction and explode since she was close to the machines.
In the midst of panic, some of the pilots were retreating, fearing the possible outcome.
The Colonel was yelling at them through the communicators to fight back. However, things started to escalate when the gunship's engines were going to break soon. Grudgingly, without a choice, Quaritch ordered the surviving gunships to retreat.
Seeing them retreat, the Omatikaya cheered, chanting out their victory against the Bad Sky People. Jake grins at their victory, also relieved that Trudy got away safely. Once Quaritch and his men were out of earshot, the Omatikaya's warriors regroup back at the center of the village along with Tobi. He hasn't put the barrier down, but it was best to keep it up, he can't let his guard down even for a second. Although Tobi did bring Destiny in after she transforms back into her human form. The rest of the villagers that were in the bunkers came towards them in great relief and happiness. The children ran to their parents, hugging them, crying happily that they were okay. Jake, Chrissy, Norm, and Grace rushed over to the Omatikaya, who were thanking the Vita Clan for helping them.
"You okay?" Jake asked Neytiri in concern.
"Are you hurt?" Chrissy asked Tsu'tey worriedly.
Tsu'tey gave her an assuring smile, "We are all right, Lomasi, no one was injured."
Neytiri nodded her head with a smile, "Yes, we are fortunate to have the Vita Clan assisting us in our battle." She said with great joy in her voice.
Eytukan came over to Dark Twilight, who was being thanked by his people for leading her and her clan their strength in the battle. {Vawm'aw, I thank you and your clan for helping us defend our home against your rival clan.}
Dark smirks, crossing her arms. {It is our pleasure, Olo'eyktan. But you should really thank Jake. He's the one who told you the weakness of the weapons that the evil sky people use.}
The Olo'eyktan looked over to Jake, who returned to look at him, and gave an appreciative look.
{Irayo, JakeSully, for helping us defeat our enemies.}
Jake smiles slightly, understanding him. "Well...I can't let them harm my people. After all, we're going to leave there as soon as possible. We wish to stop them before they can harm another."
Eytukan aggresses with him. {Indeed, we must inform the other clans on this impending danger.}
"You guys have to get back to your human bodies." Dark said to Jake and his group. "We'll rendezvous at Hallelujah Mountains, and start a plan of action."
Everyone agrees. The sooner they get out of there the better.
"When you guys get there, we'll give Trudy a knockout spray so she won't get hurt when we transfer here, and you can explain about the whole us being another dimension thing." Dark said to Jake and his group.
Norm smiles in appreciation. "Thanks, Dark. That's-"
Without any warning, Norm's body falls limp onto the ground, scaring and shocking everyone.
"Norm!" Grace, Jake, and Chrissy yelled in alarm, checking on him.
"What is wrong with him!?" Neytiri asked in alarm.
"Is he dead?!" Spider-Man asked in panic.
Grace observes his body. She saw it twitch from time to time. "No, he's alive. Well...his avatar is. He's been disconnected."
"Disconnected..." Dark mutters before her eyes widen in alarm. "Shit! They know! They know that you helped us!"
Jake, Grace, and Chrissy panic along with Tsu'tey, Neytiri, and her parents. Not long after, Grace soon collapsed, causing the children to scream at their teacher's sudden fall.
"Mom!" Chrissy yells, rushing to her mother's side with Tsu'tey by her side.
"Shit!" Jake yelled before turning to Dark. "Forget about us! Find a way to stop the RDA!"
"We're not leaving you!" Spider-Man exclaimed, not liking the idea of abandoning them.
"It's too late for us! Protect the village and the people! They are your top priority!"
"Mom-" Chrissy soon collapsed and Tsu'tey caught her in his arms, his eyes filled with panic.
"Lomasi!" Tsu'tey yelled in panic, gently shaking her Avatar's body gently.
"No!" Neytiri screams as she and her parents rush towards Chrissy's Avatar body, trying to wake her up but to no avail.
Jake looks at Dark, "No matter what happens, make sure Tobi doesn't close the barrier, alright?"
"Jake, no!" Neytiri yelled at Jake, rushing towards him. "We can still save you and the others!"
"No! You have to warn the other clans! You have to save them-"
Jake then collapses to the ground, causing Neytiri to scream in panic. She got on her knees and tried to wake Jake up, but he wasn't responding.
It didn't take the RDA long to realize that Jake and his group must've given a slip to the Omatikaya, warning them about their home being attacked. And after the RDA lost the battle when they didn't know about the Omatikaya's new 'friends', they knew that Jake and Chrissy were hiding about this, and didn't warn them. The RDA arrested the four for treason and was sent to the holding cells, where they will be living there for the rest of their lives until transports arrive to take them back to Earth, where they will be locked up in a prison cell.
Neytiri caresses the face of Jake's avatar gently, trying to get him to wake up. "Jake... tìtxen si..." She whispers to him. Wake up.
Eytukan and Mo'at looked at Dark pleadingly, caressing Chrissy's face while Tsu'tey held her tightly.
"We don't have much to offer...and you helped us with so much...but please...please help us save them, to save her." Mo'at pleaded to Dark.
Dark knew that they cannot bear to lose Chrissy because it felt like losing Sylwanin again. They cannot bear the second time. Dark looked over to Spider-Man and Owen. Both males gave encouraging nods of agreement and she returned it before looking back at the Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk. "We will get them back. You have my word."
"How are you going to do that?" Damien asked, looking at the bodies of the avatars.
"I'm gonna bring a small team with me to sneak into the RDA's base." Dark announced, shocking everyone in the process. "Tonight. We're gonna get them out with the RDA goin' down in flames."
