Saving Pandora (Avatar Fan Fiction)

35. Zari'a

Our last day of our "honeymoon" Jake called it.

Neteyam has been gone a long time. I get worried.

But he's a great warrior, he won't be dead or captured.

While he is gone I'm talking with Katri.

She's got so much to tell me. I still have lots to tell her.

Katri tries to remember the past as best as she can. My friends, my family, my ancestors.

Neteyam doesn't want me to go back to Sarentu grounds because of my reaction last time. He says after we go back to the village we can do it again.

Neteyam comes back.

"What took you so long?" I ask him.

"We have to go. Tuktirey and her friends are in trouble." Neteyam tells me.

"With who?" I ask mounting on Katri, ready for flight.

"Sky people."
-

We meet Jake, Neytiri and Lo'ak there.

"Where are they?" I ask them.

"Good. You brought her." Jake says to Neteyam.

"Listen, you know this new system, correct?" I nod. "Tuktirey and some others are trapped in a cage, waiting to be taken. I need you to try unlock the cage."

"I can do that."

I wasn't as good as Tsa'vi and Anor but I knew lots about escaping cages after being in them for so many years.

Jake simply tells his family to just kill the sky people.

I'm looking at the cage, everyone is crying.

"Shut up." The sky people yell.

"If they aren't here in a minute we are all dead."

That's right. You are all dead.

I shoot first. "Shit!" They all yell.

They are in position, ready to fight.

They have nothing against us.

Three more arrows go flying. There are now just two idiot men standing.

"What the hell do we do?" One yells.

"I don't fucking know!" The other yells.

"Try except fate?" I suggest. I snap one's neck and an arrow has gone right through the other guy.

Neteyam runs up to me. "Are you okay?"

"Of course I am." I smile.

I hear a helicopter getting close.

"Hurry!" Jake yells at me.

I see a dead na'vi on the floor. I quickly unlock the door and try carrying the poor person.

"Let me." Lo'ak takes him.

Boom!

Everyone trips some fall.

We have to get out of here fast.

"RUN! RUN!" Jake yells.

Everyone tries to but it's just, boom! Boom! BOOM!

Suits come down.

It's hard to see in the light but I know that lady. Harding.

"Zaria! You've come back!" She laughs, "I'm delighted."

An arrow shoots and breaks his glass.

"Zari'a! Get up!" Neteyam yells.

A few more arrows fly their way.

I run. Some rope or something wraps around my ankles and I fall.

"Ouch." I grab onto a useless branch that just snaps as I am so being dragged away.

Then Neteyam throws a rock so hard, it breaks through the glass and kills the man.

He shoots his arrow again at Harding.

A rope comes down and Harding grabs it.

Neteyam shoots the other suit in a weak spot. The suit break and makes a small explosion.

I'm getting dragged as Harding is being pulled up. I scream.

Neteyam takes out his knife and tries to cut the rope, but it's more of a wire which will take forever to cut.

"Shit."

Neteyam climbs the rope. I lift my upper body up and grab the rope above my ankles.

I pull myself up so my ankles don't hurt so much.

I look up and I don't see Neteyam or Harding.

The rope gets pulled again.

"No!"

When I'm up I see my mate has been injured.

"Neteyam!" I cry, "What have you done to him?"

"Hey, he came after me." Harding says, "How am I the bad guy?"

Asshole.

I hiss at her.

"Feisty." Harding laughs.

"Harding I will murder you!" I yell at her.

"We are way past murder now aren't we?" She says, "You've been a bad girl. I'm so glad I came to catch you."

I shake my head.

"Well, you are stuck to that so I'm going in there. Bye." Harding gets out of her suit and goes inside the control area of the plane.

"Neteyam." I whisper. "Neteyam?" I say louder.

I reach my arm out to him.

He mumbles something.

"Neteyam, you will get through this." I tell him, "Don't fight now or you will be too exhausted. Just rest. I will fight for us."

"No Zari'a." He coughs. "I can't just lay here."

"You can." I take Neteyam's knife and start cutting through the ropes. "Let me get out of this and turn this thing around."

I cut fast.

All I have to think about is the man injured and my hands move like speed.

"What are you doing?" Harding asks.

I cut faster.

I cut through.

Harding pulls out a gun but doesn't point it toward me but towards Neteyam.

"No!" I yell.

"Get away from me now. You know I won't hesitate to put a bullet through him." She says coldly.

I step back and use myself to cover Neteyam.

Harding turns her head and then laughs.

"You got a little boyfriend?" She says, "How sweet."

"He isn't my boyfriend." He isn't. He's my husband.

"Aww. Little Zaria has a crush." Harding teases.

"Please leave him." I plead. "I will do absolutely anything. Please just don't touch him."

"How sweet." She shoots.

I feel a strong hit in my arm.

I don't know what happens next because my vision goes blurry to pitch black.

"Neteyam."

Uh-oh!
