Mune Olo'eyktan [NeteyamxAonung]

Part 24

Neteyam's eyes widen when familiar green irises lock onto him. He taps Lo'ak's shoulder and ducks behind the bush, with the others doing the same.

Neteyam- It's Yune.

Lo'ak- Yune?

Rotxo- The guy who tried to kill Aonung? What the hell is he doing here?

Lo'ak- Why are either of them here?

Neteyam- We can find that out after we save them.

Rotxo looks at him like he's lost his mind.

Rotxo- You want to bring him back around Aonung?

Neteyam- Well we can't just leave them.

Rotxo- He's acting weird enough already, this is not gonna go well.

Neteyam- Don't you think I know that? Damn, it's like you both forget who you're talking to.

Rotxo- . . . Sorry.

Lo'ak- What's the plan?

Neteyam- I'm not sure yet.

While Neteyam thinks, Rotxo peeks back over the bush, mapping out the area, then his gaze lands on where the horses are kept.

Rotxo- I have an idea.

The Sully brothers share a look, then listen closely to the marine boy's plan.

Twenty minutes later, they're all being chased down on the backs of direhorses through the forest.

Neteyam has Somtra on the back of his, Lo'ak has Yune, and Rotxo is on his own.

Neteyam- I am never following your plans again! Ever!

Rotxo- Why not?! It worked!

Neteyam- We barely made it out!

Rather than form a stealthy infiltration and rescue, Rotxo led them out in the open, head on, going straight for the horses.

It was an obvious plan, which immediately caught everyone's attention, and they were lucky Somtra and Yune could get to them.

Now, unfortunately, they're being chased by half the camp.

With arrows flying and their pursuers closing in fast, Neteyam starts worrying they won't escape, but the sound of a horn draws everyone's attention, and suddenly the pursuit is off.

The rebels immediately turn back, but while the others still rush on, Neteyam stops his ride for a moment, looking back with skepticism.

Somtra- What is it?

Neteyam- That horn . . . It doesn't sound right.

Lo'ak- Neteyam! Come on!

He turns around, and Lo'ak is stopped farther ahead. Seeing Yune, he's reminded they should return and let him and Somtra be looked at.

With the odd sound of the horn set aside for the time being, they find their way back home, since they were chased back into familiar territory.

As they arrive, the first to greet them is Hoskno, with a breath of relief.

Hoskno- Thank Eywa. Are you guys alr- . . . Who are they?
