the passions of his soul; neteyam sully

005; stubborn and strong

"No way!" Lo'ak exclaimed in awe, examining the powerful gun in Y/n's hand with a laugh

"Yea. I know." She said proudly, marveling at the dangerous weapon that was held a little too nonchalantly in her hands

"I've seen a warrior use this, it took down a gunship in a single shot! This will for sure help the war party." She said grinning as she and Lo'ak continued examining the clouds for the sky people's presence

"If Neteyam found out we had one of these..." He said, letting out a breath of nervousness as Y/n shook her head, steering her Ikran further away from the line of sight of the other spotters who flew alongside them in the sky

"That is exactly why we need to stay out of sight Lo'ak! That boy would shoot me in the head with this exact gun if he knew-" 

"Y/N!"

The name was hollered from behind her with such an intensity that she winced at the sound. There was no need to even need to turn around to know exactly who it belonged to

"Ay, come on Amay!" She yelled, letting out a victory war cry as her Ikran expertly managed to fly past Neteyam's in an instant

At first he whipped his head around with a scowl to see what she was flying towards. Unfortunately, he was met with the horrifying sight of her grinning figure as she put what easily could've passed as a bomb over her shoulders and aimed the thing at an incoming warship

"Great Mother she's going to get herself killed!" Neteyam screamed as he tried flying after her, Lo'ak quickly moving to block his path with his own Ikran, his eyes wide with a frantic expression on his face

"Let her hit them bro! You know she can, that thing in her hands can knock their ship out the skies!" He said, desperate not to let his brother mess up Y/n's clear shot

"No! She's not following orders - what if she messes up? Lo'ak, it will knock her out of the skies!" He yelled angrily

Lo'ak's face flashed with momentary fear at his words - and that second of distraction on his face was all Neteyam needed to fly past him and towards Y/n

He could hear Lo'ak yelling from behind him, but he ignored him, knowing the severity of the situation Y/n had gotten herself into that she and Lo'ak simply didn't understand

"Y/n! I swear, If you launch that bomb - ! "

But his own voice was cut off with the menacing sound of the gun being fired

He watched it hit the gunship right in the center, truly knocking it out of the skies.

Then, he watched the horrible gun recoil from the pressure accumulated from the shot and hit Y/n square in the chest

It was like he was watching her in slow motion. The way the gun slipped from her hands, the way she tried to find her grip on Amay, her faithful Ikran, as she was pushed back with a force so strong she could've never stopped it from knocking the wind out of her

And then, he watched her fall.

In an instant, he let out a yell as his Ikran, crying out too from Neteyam's overflowing emotions, flew after her in seconds.

But the debris from the war ship was flying everywhere. Black smoke clouded his vision so immensely he could only yell out in frustration and panic as he lost her falling figure

He knew Lo'ak had flown after her the second she fell too, but he could not be sure he didn't lose sight of her as well

He yelled out his name, then hers, and was only met with the war cries of the na'vi
