Avatar: To Live Again

Landing

Waking up from cryo - sleep was like waking up and finding out you had been cemented for so long your limbs ache.

I groaned as I tried to move my stiff limbs which was in vain because I was strapped in.

I knew I should have rejected this idea from the very beginning!

Nonetheless, I was quite content that I get to see my two brothers and I was sure they feel that too.

I felt myself being pulled out and I hissed when a bright light hit my face full force before it was blocked by the face of a young man.

"Please tell me you have some caffeine or pain meds?" I asked irritably, not liking how close his face was to me. Had I not been strapped up, my greeting would have been a punch in the face.

He chuckled and shook his head in reply. I frowned "Then are we there yet?" I asked as he began to unstrap me.

"Not yet but we'll be there soon"

That was his reply before he flew off to help unstrapping the others. I floated up to my locker to get my pack and other things when something zoomed towards me and hit me at the back.

I whipped around with my fist flying before it was wrapped around by another hand "Easy on the punch sis, don't want to have bruises on the first day" The voice of my triplet brother, Jake Sully, came as he floated to his locker which was only 2 lockers away from me.

"Didn't mom ever teach you to never knock off a girl?"

I asked and Jake raised a brow "If I recall, it was you who bumped and push me in the mud hole when we were kids" I glared at him though it was not harsh as I intended it to be.

"When we were kids Jake, we're adults now"

"No need to go all mature on me sis, just glad your still alive and kicking after mom's...you know"

Jake said, pulling out his pack before he floated away. I didn't say anything before I turned my attention to my locker.

Yeah Jake, me too.

The three of us all sat together side by side as we felt the ship land.

I heard thunder from time to time and wondered if it was raining outside since the ship is a bit closed off so I never got to see what was outside.

All of a sudden someone started yelling to put our exo packs on and I hastily placed in mine just as soon as the doors of the ship opened.

The offers quickly fell in line as did Tom and I while Jake stayed on his seat. As soon as the doors fell opened, the marines on the ship ran out in a jog.

Tom and I didn't follow as we waited for Jake to get himself settled on his wheelchair.

"Let's go people! Don't keep me waiting!"

A marine spoke and I had the urgency to glare at him and raise my middle finger. Can't this guy not see my brother is -

Tom pushed me gently as Jake wheeled himself up, keeping a stoic face and I bit my lip before following them out of the ship.

"Oh My Gosh!"

Tom gasped just as soon as his foot stepped out of the ship. Oh boy here we go.

"Look at all the mountain structures! It almost looks like one of the pictures of the jungles of Africa or in the Amazon in the mid twenties! Just think of all the discoveries and learning we are going to find not to mention the natives and its culture!"

Jake and I looked at Tom as he rambled on and on about Pandora and all the things he learned in the middle of the landing zone.

To others, it would be a sight to see a scientist babbling in the middle of a landing zone, clearly not knowing if an aircraft was going to hit him or not but to us Sullys, its just Tom Sully again.

I quickly pulled Tom away just as a soldier in an AMP suit came walking towards us. He looked at Tom as if he had grown to heads and I just shook my head.

"Let's go geek before you get squashed by one of the big boys here"

I said, pulling a protesting Tom who still wanted to see more of Pandora. Jake was already wheeling away from us, not wanting to be involved should a commotion would happen and he also had a meeting with the boss of this base.

"C'mon Tom, let's go inside and get settled before we go out exploring"

Tom nodded and followed me but not before looking back at the forest that lay beyond the walls of Hell's Gate and I have to drag him again before he got lost himself in another round of excitement.

Since I had begun to unpack my things in my new dorm, I figured I'd get to meet my dorm mate and I kinda like her spunk a little bit.

Her names Trudy and she had a deep fire in her eyes that reminded me of my mother when she was out for an adventure.

While the two of us were chatting endlessly, Tom poked his head in the doorway "Hey Emmy?" I looked at him and Trudy raised a brow once she saw the similarities in our faces.

"Twins?"

"Triplets actually, I have another brother"

"Ah, the ex marine everyone's been talking about"

I nodded before turning my attention to Tom "This better be good or get out of the room" Tom grinned at me sheepishly.

"Actually, I was wondering if you would want to come with me and Jake to the avatar link chambers"

My brows rose. To see my avatar for the first time, I was curious. I nodded before standing up from my bed and saying goodbye to Trudy, Tom and I headed to the Avatar Link Chambers where our avatars were being held in amino tanks.

While walking, my mind went back to Tom's words about natives and their culture in Pandora.

I wonder what natives Tom was talking about.
