Something's Changed Because of You

"Uprising"

Neteyam's POV

'Pull!" I yelled as we were trying to pull the tracker out. We have been trying to yank it out for a while now before the ship reached us.

"They're coming!" shouted Tsireya.

Shit!

I was on my ilu trying to swim to take it out. It finally came off and we all fell into the water. The sky people were near and located us already. I looked at Lo'ak as I grabbed his shoulder.

"Be safe ok?"

I grabbed the tracker.

"Go, I'll draw them away!"

"Wait Neteyam don-"

I got on my ilu and swam off. I saw the sky people were chasing down my siblings. They needed my help.

But I had to leave this somewhere far away.

I remember all those times we had to fight for our lives since they always hunted us down. I know we didn't deserve it but hopefully we knew enough on how to protect ourselves. It's my responsibility to look after them. Only mine.

All I could think was my family. If they were okay and nothing was going horribly. My mind then couldn't help but think about Neyudia.

After this war I will fix everything. I will grab her,kiss her, just touch her and communicate. Once this is over I will go to her. Once it is done.

When I noticed there was a good amount of distance I dropped the tracker to sabotage the ship. Now I needed to go to my siblings.

As I went to where we were at before I noticed I didn't see any of them. I then heard something underwater. I then saw Kiri, Aonung, and Roxto.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked.

"We don't know," said Roxto.

"We had to go out separate ways since these weird things with people were coming at us," said Aonung.

I hissed.

Tuk was always dragged everywhere. Eywa dam it!

I then saw Lo'ak, Tsireya, and Tuk on the ship tied up.

No!

I couldn't automatically go because then someone held a gun to Lo'ak's head.

Don't hurt him. Eywa please don't take anyone away.

I then saw my dad heading to the ship. He was going to give in. My father may not be the best but he cares and would do anything for us. I don't think he had any other choice.

A big creature then came out of the water as I felt water splash onto me. The whole clan then proceeded to the ship to fight.

Now it was the perfect moment.

Neyudia's POV

I saw Tsireya and Tuk on the ship and that made my heartbeat sped up. I looked at Ronal as you can sense the slight fear on her face.

I wanted to hurt the sky people. Ruining every bit that you cherish.

Jake had an earpiece as he was talking to the man that had something pointed to Lo'ak's head. He then slowly went towards the ship. He was accepting defeat. I didn't care what happened, I just wanted this over and for them to be safe. Before he could reach the ship, something large came out from the ocean and landed on the ship.

Payakan.

Jake then got his weapon ready and we all took the message that the battle has officially started. It was time.

There were small boats everywhere. Once I would see them I would jump out and shoot the people inside.

Fuck!

I got pushed over by one of the machines and I was in between them about to get crushed. I used all the force I had to push it away. If I let go I will get smashed by these.

But hey I'm all about risks.

I went underwater as the two machines collided with each other and exploded. I heard a creature screech as I looked up and saw an ikran. It was Neytiri and she had an arrow pointed to the major ship. Lo'ak, Tsireya, and Tuk were still tied to the pole. I used my throat to locate Stara and went on my way. I climbed on the ladder as I could feel that this was not made out of anything I've felt or seen. I was very unfamiliar with this type of technology.

The last time the people came they had planes and helicopters.

I heard grunts, yelling, and so much movement. As I was going up the ladder someone pulled me down. An avatar. He pushed me onto the wall to throw me off. I got my knife from my waist and knifed him in the neck. And again on the chest. He let go of me as he dropped dead on the floor. There was a sharp turn as I fell off. I made a call as Stara picked me up. I got momentum and gotout of the water and landed on the floor where everyone else was at.

"Neyudia!" screamed Tuk.

I saw that Neteyam was on the floor as an avatar was on top of him trying to point the gun at him. Never have I got my arrow and shot someone so fast in my life. The avatar then fell beside him as he looked at me. Looking at him stopped time.

How I missed this.

When I saw him it was like nothing on the planet was wrong. It was just us.

"Duck!" I yelled.

As I got my dagger and threw it to the sky person's face.

Headshot.

More sky people then started to show up with guns. Neteyam had no weapon. I got my bow and arrows as I gave them to him.

"Use it," I said.

"It should be easy for you since you are used to it."

"But what about you?" asked Neteyam.

"I have my spear, some arrows, and my knives," I said.

He looked up at me and stared into my eyes. We were so close I could see the details in his eyes and how he had some darker shades of yellow that blended into light shades. He turned his view to the humans and nodded at me.

I charged at them as I stabbed every one that was on my way.

Stab.

Stab.

Stab.

They were little and light enough to throw them and knock them out as I buried my spear so they bled to death.

"Get out now," said the voice.

No, no, no not again.

"Trust me you have to leave!"

"Get them out and go!"

"Listen Neyudia!"

As I was unaliving each person who came my way I heard a voice.

"I warned you."

"Well, well, well," a man said.

"Look who we have here. I almost forgot your face."

No...
