 Ao'nung got back up, hissing and snarling and pushed you out of the way and grabbed Lo'ak by the legs. Pushing him below him onto the ground. Scattered shouts of encouragement were thrown at Ao'nung as he tried to hold down Lo'ak with multiple unsuccessful attempts. Lo'ak managed to push his face into the ground hard enough to leave a mark while other boys in the group were quick enough to grab him by the tail and get him off of Ao'nung. You ran over and punched them both, knocking them to the ground and helping up Lo'ak who quickly fell to the ground again. One of the slapped him with his tail across the face. "Neteyam, help please!" You shouted in a panic.

Neteyam sighed with a smirk as he made his way up to you and your brother who grabbed one of the boys' shoulder and punched the boy down. Another boy lunged at him while Kiri screamed "Stop this!". Neteyam ignored her and kneed the lunging boy in the stomach while another one ran up at him, pulling him down. "So stupid!" She yelled again, watching the three of you making complete fools of yourselves. Neteyam, and Lo'ak continued to fight until Ao'nung ran at you, pinning you down, about to punch you before stopping and looking down at you, his chest heaving. He was hesitating.

Ao'nung looked like he wanted to say something but growled and hissed in your face before rolling off of you and joining the rest of his friends in beating up your siblings. 

Ao'nung grabbed and pulled hard on Lo'ak's tail while you just laid on the ground for a moment watching the sky before you rolled your eyes and decided to think about what just happened later. "OW, MY TAIL!" Lo'ak yelled as you got up to try and pry one of the guys off of your younger brother. Neteyam kept one boy busy while two of them attempted to drag Lo'ak off of another boy but he grabbed a hold of the boys ear. "My ear! Let go! He's got my ear!" the boy cried out and you could hear Kiri giggling at the whole mess. 

You grabbed Ao'nung again, this time by the shoulder to get him off of Lo'ak and punched him in the jaw and he just ran at you and pinned you down to the sand, not letting you move but not punching you until you stopped moving and you finally gave up, you realized only maybe 15 seconds had passed and you got up and stood there.

Another boy charged at you, socking you straight in the jaw but Ao'nung called him back and punched him in the shoulder before he could do any real damage.

Jake walked you, Lo'ak, and Neteyam into the new hut as Neteyam wiped his bloodied mouth and Lo'ak held his arm. You massaged the massive bruise on your jaw as Jake started to speak. "What was the one thing I asked? The one thing!?" Neteyam and Lo'ak couldn't meet your fathers eyes but you could and you stood proud. "Stay out of trouble." Neteyam and Lo'ak said but you stayed quiet, stone-faced. "Stay out of trouble. Right." Jake said. "It was my fault-" Neteyam stepped in front of you and Lo'ak, taking the blame. "I don't think so, you gotta stop taking the heat for these knuckleheads." Jake growled, aggravated. 

"Look, dad. Ao'nung was picking on Kiri. He called her a freak." Lo'ak explained to no avail. 

"Go apologize to Ao'nung." Jake said after a beat which visibly upset Neteyam and caused you to growl slightly. "What?" Lo'ak said after a moment. "He's the Chief's son and to be (Y/n)'s mate. Do you understand? I don't care how you do it just... go make peace. Just go." your father said, not wanting another word from Lo'ak. 

Lo'ak left, leaving you, your father, and Neteyam. Neteyam tried to leave but Jake stopped him, "Hey... so what'd the other guys look like?"

"Worse." Neteyam smiled. "That's good." "A lot worse." "Get outta here." Jake said which caused Neteyam to leave.

"And you... Fighting? With your mate? He could have hurt you! let me see that jaw." He said, walking up to go look at your busted face from the other guy hurting you. "Well, thanks to you trading me for uturu, he refused to touch me even after I punched him... so many times." you said as you walked away. "Babygirl! Come back!" Jake tried to run after you but you just rolled your eyes and continued walking.
