"Pandora home to the Na'vi" said Mr Selfridge looking out onto Pandora with a scowl on his face. "Why do we stay in space watching while the Na'vi get on with their lives to find a new home?" he questioned himself. "Why not just go down there and claim what is ours?" said Titus, his new military commander. Mr Selfridge jumped at his voice, "What have I said about scaring me Titus?" he stated. "Not to scare you Mr Selfridge" said Titus. "Good, and to answer your question, no we can't, not yet".

"Jake come on were nearly there, and's it's almost time" said Neyteri trying to get Jake to hurry up as they were going to be late to the Tree of Souls of a very important ceremony. "Yeah, yeah I'm going as fast as I can Neyteri"

Two days later

"Our armies are ready and so are the mining crews Mr Selfridge" Titus said informing Mr Selfridge. "Good we attack now" Mr Selfridge said activing the speakers on the ship. "Attention please, we are only going to attack the Na'vi if they get close to our mining operation, so be ready, and do not attack unless they attack us" he said over the speakers. "One last thing if you attack them first you will speak to me personally and be on your guard" said Titus also over the speakers.

"Start moving the ship the ship down to where we had first set up base" Mr Selfridge said to the whole command centre. As the ship started to descend onto the Pandora the gravity was pulling them down to the ground. "What the hell is going on" yelled Titus to one of the ships pilots. "Sir the gravity is pulling us down to the ground, and the ships engines are failing" "Well get them working and make sure we don't crash" yelled holding onto the railing along with anyone else who was not sitting down. "Sir we can't get the engines back online sir". "Everyone in your seats, I repeat everyone in your seats. It's going to be a bumping landing" yelled Mr Selfridge. Everyone scrambled to find a seat so they wouldn't throw around in the crash.

As they were crashing the Na'vi saw the smoke rising of the engines as they were just about to crash into the Tree of Souls. When the ship crashed most of the crew didn't survive, as they weren't seated or parts of the ship had killed them or they were killed in the impact of the crash. Most of the ones who were killed were solders, some of them were miners, and a couple of the ships pilots.

The Na'vi started to run towards were they had crashed, when they got there, all they saw was a ship with the Tree of Souls in front of the ship laying on its side. The Na'vi started crying out in anguish, they were devastated, the last place they could talk to their ancestors was gone, ripped out of the ground like it was nothing.

Then they noticed black spreading across the ground from under the Tree of Souls killing everything in its path, including every survivor on the ship. The darkness would not stop until it killed off the whole plant and everything on it, including people and animals. Soon it would cover all of Pandora just for the human's mistake of coming back to Pandora. The Darkness would kill off all non-living and living things until the whole plant is dead.
