Avatar: To Live Again

Hometree Falls

Tom's mind was swirling in darkness until his ears stopped ringing and heard the sound of choppers.

He groaned and opened his eyes and found his hands tied and saw Quaritch beside the pilot. He turned to see that they were airborne and from the looks of it, it seems other choppers were following them.

Why?

He wracked his brain for an answer and memories came crashing down like a Tidal Wave.

"Quaritch..."

Ton gasped out, the RDA leader turned to him with a grin "Good morning sunshine, your up early than your sister"

Emmy?!

He glanced beside him to see an unconscious Emersyn with a hint of bruises marring her face. He quickly twisted so that he was facing her and tried to shake her awake.

"Tom..."

Emersyn groaned and opened her eyes and Tom sighed gratefully. Emersyn slowly sat up and saw Quaritch and she growled "Bastard..." Quaritch turned to her.

"I thought women aren't allowed calling bad names to others and are trained to be obedient species"

"Well shit that obedience cause I'm going to kick your ass so hard your going to running back to your mommy!"

Quaritch laughed before turning his attention to the front. Emersyn shifted her gaze to Tom "Are you okay?" Tom chuckled and looked at her "I should be the one asking that" Emersyn glared at him.

"Says the guy who did something reckless and tried to face it alone"

The shadow of Hometree came and Tom was beginning to get more and more frantic in trying to untie his bonds as did Emersyn.

"I really hope Jake told them already"

Emersyn mumbled and Tom sighed "We have to do something!" Tom and Emersyn looked at him "I'm working on it!"

The sibling jumped when a rain of arrows pelted down on the Dragon Ship and Quaritch suddenly sighed and ordered every chopper to fire down the tree.

It was a nightmare.

The screamed of the people clouded my mind as I watch them take down Hometree, from the back of my mind, I heard a cry of pain.

Tom shifted and saw Jake and Grace tied up and screaming at the Na'vi to run. Quaritch gave himself a satisfaction grin "And that's how you scatter the roaches" Tom glared.

"They're not animals! They're living, breathing people that are for too noble and too human for the likes of you!"

Tom and Emersyn charged at him, since their hands were tied together, they used their feet and weight as an advantage.

Emersyn kicked the nearest RDA soldier and Tom banged his head to Quaritch. Though Tom was fit, his daily stays on the link pod made him weak as was Emersyn and the two were soon overpowered.

I grunted when a hard fist connected my face. My vision swam with me as I stumbled, I'm pretty sure that's going to leave a black eye.

Toms screams of pain filled my ears and when my vision sharpened, Quaritch had dislocated Tom's arm.

"Bastard!"

I charged only for him to cut my breathing hole. He stared at me dead in the eye "Don't mess with those superior to you" He dropped me down hard and the most terrible thing happened.

Hometree gave a groan and slowly, it fell...killing Na'vi below it and (to my satisfaction) choppers.

I didn't know a wail had come out of my throat because all I heard were the cries from the Na'vi.
