BOTH NETEYAM and Åstelieha watched in angst as Jake contiuned floating towards the ship. Åstelieha's eyebrows furrowed as she felt the water beneath her rumbling. Suddenly, Payakan shot out of the water, landing onto the boat. Several Avatars began shooting at the tulkun but it was no use as he attacked them all. The Metkayina took their chance as they sped forward, beginning to fight. Åstelieha and Neteyam acted quickly, speeding towards the boat so they could rescue Tuk, Tsireya and Lo'ak.
Neteyam jumped into the boat first, pulling Åstelieha up with him as he rushed over to the trio. He quickly cut both Tuk and Tsireya off; ushering then over to Åstelieha. "Get them out of here and stay safe." Neteyam shouted over to Åstelieha, who nodded in response.
The trio wasted no time as they jumped into the water, hurrying away. But suddenly, the sound of screaming entered there ears as they turned around, spotting an ikran dragging Kiri onto the ship. Tuk was quick to react as the young girl began swimming back towards the boat.
"Tuk, no!" Tsireya swan after the girl. "Sully's stick together!" Tuk shouted in response as Åstelieha quickly caught up to the two girls.

They silently climbed onto the boat, looking for Kiri. Åstelieha spotted her friend in the distance as she turned around to both Tuk and Tsireya, pointing towards her. "Kiri!" Tuk whisper shouted.
Åstelieha and Tsireya climbed over the railing as Åstelieha pulled out her knife to cut the restraints. Suddenly, Quaritch grabbed Tuk, pulling her back over. "No, get off of her!" Åstelieha shouted, but it was no use as Quaritch pushed both Åstelieha and Tsireya into the water.
Åstelieha knew it was no use trying to save them now when there was several Avatar's guarding the two girls. Åstelieha turned to face Tsireya, signing her plan. Tsireya nodded as they both called their ilu's, wasting no time to get onto them.

They swam around for a few moments, in search for Lo'ak and Neteyam. Åstelieha's eyes lit up as she spotted the two boys, noticing none of them seemed hurt. She also spotted an unfamiliar boy who seemed to be human.
"Get on!" Åstelieha shouted, rising up from the water. Åstelieha was slightly confused when she noticed Neteyam struggling to keep his head above water. "Come on, bro!" Lo'ak urged, "You skxawng, i'm shot." Åstelieha's stomach dropped, noticing the water was beginning to turn red. "Shit!" Lo'ak shouted, dragging his brother onto Åstelieha's ilu. "They have Kiri and Tuk!" Tsireya shouted as Lo'ak shook his head, holding Neteyam upright. "I can't go back." Åstelieha didn't know what to say, she simply guided her ilu to the closest rock, praying her boy wouldn't die.
"Dad! Help! It's Neteyam!" Lo'ak beckonded over his father who was close by. Jake immediately noticed the problem as he helped place Neteyam into the rock. Åstelieha rested his head in her lap, putting pressure on the wound. Jake carefully lifted his back up, the man sighing in relief that it didn't go all the way through. He still had a chance.
Neytiri landed down beside them in her ikran, hurrying over to her son. "He will be alright." Jake spoke towards Neytiri as she nodded. "Take him back to the village." Jake voiced to Åstelieha, who nodded.
They helped pull him onto an ikran as Tsireya floated beside Åstelieha, helping her hold Neteyam up right. "Stay awake, Tey." Åstelieha whispered, feeling his body beginning to give out.

"Help! Help!" Åstelieha shouted as they rode onto the shore. A few villagers ran over to them, helping them with Neteyam. "Where's Kukz?" Åstelieha frantically questioned one of the villagers. "In her mauri."
Åstelieha wasted no time as she ran to go find Kukz. "Kukz, come! Neteyam got shot!" Åstelieha shouted at her grandmother. Kukz eye's widened, noticing the state her granddaughter was in.
Kukz grabbed all of her kit, hurrying into the medicinal mauri where Neteyam had been taken. There was already many Metkayina's who were here that had been injured, but none as bad as Neteyam.
Åstelieha hurried over to his side, sitting down beside him. She held his hand close to her heart as Kukz got to work in helping him. "I love you." She whispered, praying that Eywa would save him.
