3rd person POV:

Neteyam woke up in the arms of Y/n's unconcous avatar. She was laying on his chest, with his hand over her back.

He smiled as he remembered last night. It was magical.. That was until he heard a loud roaring sound of a machine. He looked over at the forest, pulling Y/n off of him. It was horrifying.

The plants and trees were being crushed by the machines, lighting up the left over trees and plants on fire. They were getting closer to the Tree of voices, blocking the only light source the 2 had.

"Y/n.." He lowered his ears, calling out for his mate."Y/n, wake up, now! Please, whereever you are!" He yelled to get her attention.

Meanwhile, Y/n was goofing around with Grace and the others at breakfast, not having a clue about whats happening.

"Come on Y/n!Theres not much time.." He continued trying to shake her awake, but she wasnt moving. I looked behind me, and noticed the machines getting closer and closer.

He had no choice but to make a run for it. "Fuck!" He yelled out as he got a tight grip on Y/n, pulling her over his shoulder.

He took her unconcious avatar to a forest nearby, where the sky people couldnt see them.He laid her down against a rock, shaking her body again.

Once Grace finally let her leave, she was surprised to wake up to Neteyam yelling at her, shaking her awake.

Back to Y/n's Pov.

"Y/n!" He said. 

"Neteyam?" I sat up straight. "Whats wrong?"

"Look!" He pointed to my right side, seeing a dozer taking down the tree of voices. The light from the trees started dissapearing.

"Son of a bitch." Neteyam let out a shaky breath as he talked. I looked over at him, and there were tears running down his cheeks. This was the first time I've seen him cry.

"Hey!" I yelled at the sky people,before grabbing a rock nearby. "What are you doing?!"

I started running towards them. "Y/n!" Neteyam yelled out, but it was no use.

As much as I yelled at them, it was no use, because the driver kept getting closer and taking down more of the forest. Without giving it a second thought, I jumped on the dozer, smacking the camera with the rock breaking it apart.

This had to happen at one point. The dozer stopped moving, but still, all the other machines kept getting closer. I lowered my ears in fear of the scenary. The animals were being ran over, and all the men and women were burning dwon whatever was left of the forest.

I quickly ran back to Neteyam, and got him out of there as soon as posible. We hid behind leaves, watching how the forest was being crushed and burned to the ground.

Neteyam was still crying not a sound coming out of his mouth. I carresed his cheek and embraced him, allowing him to cry it out in my chest as I continued to watch what was happening.

"Why.." I said. "Why would he do this?"

Neteyam sat up wiping his tears. "What is this Y/n?"

Guilt filled me as I tried to find the right words. "Neteyam, we have to go warn your family. Now"

He grabbed my hand, and pulled me with him back to the hometree. When we made it there, it seemed like the people knew what was happening. They were making war noises, and raising weapons. Grace was in the crowd watching alarmed.

Na'yori looked over at us, her expression full of anger, lust and pity all at once.

"This will only make things worse!" Grace told to Jake.

"You do not have word in this!" Na'yori yelled to her.

Neteyam started pulling me into the crowd, but I stopped him. "Whats wrong?" He asked

"I have to tell you something.. " I started to talk. "I-" I couldn't finish my sentance, because Na'yori cut me off.

"You!" She started storming towards me.

Before I could react, she shoved me in the chest, making me step back a bit, before Neteyam stood in between us hissing at her.

"You mated with him?!" She pointed at Neteyam.

"Oh, shit." Grace said.

I grabbed Neteyam, pulling him away from her. "It's okay." I whispered.

"Neteyam." His mother called out. "Is this true."

He was silent a bit. "Yes mother." Gasps were heard among the crowd. "We are mated befre Eywa. It is done."

"What.." Na'yori cried out. "That's not fair." She said walking back a bit, Jake grabbing her trying to calm her down. "It's not fair!" She pushed past him walking over to Neytiri. 

"Neteyam, you chose this path for yourself,you can never be ole'eyktan.!" Neytiri spoke.

Neteyam looked over at me, and then back at his parents. He put his arm over me. "I have chosen."

"YOU BITCH!" Na'yori yelled out at me, before pulling out her knife. I was not as weak like at the start tho. As she launched at me. I grabbed her arm, tackling her to the ground and putting her hand against her throat, so her knife was  in the position to slice it open.

I hissed in her face, and in return she just started sobbing, before I grabbed the knife and we both stood up. She spat in front of Neteyam, before walking back to her friends.

"You took my life away.." She spoke. "Neteyam, this woman is not good for you, and never will be!" She pointed at me.

Before I could speak, Graces avatar fell to the ground, Kiri managing to catch her before she hit her head. I looked over at Neteyam, wanting to say something, but before I could, my vision got black, and I woke up in my human body.

I slammed open the hood of my link unit, to see Quaritch standing over me. 

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I spoke.

"You crossed the line." He said, before he slapped me, making me fall out of my link.

At the hometree, Na'yori grabbed my unconcious body by my hair, getting her knife back from my pockets, and puttin git against my throat.

"This is a false body!" She yelled out. "It should not live."

Before she could kill me, she was thrown back by an angry Neteyam. She fell on her side, and when she got back up, she saw him crouchig over Y/n, hissing at her agressivly as he held his knife in her direction.

She backed off, walking around us, with Neteyam following her every move. "Let's get moving." She said coldly to the other hunters as she dissapeared into the crowd.

At the Ops centre, the situation was nothing better. Grace, Norman and I were getting dragged to one of the monitors. WHen I first came here, I thought Miles was good, but I started hating him more and more by time, and here I am, disgusted by his face now.

"You sit there and watch." He barked at me.

I watched the screen, and he showed me a screenshot from the video captured from the camera I broke, right when I was breaking it. The video was paused at my angered face.

"Who's this pretty lady?" I smirked, but stopped when he pulled on my hair.

"Miles stop it!" Grace yelled.

"Care  to explain?" He got in my face

"You were destroying something the people care about." I glared at him.

"And you destroyed something that means a lot to us. You have no right to do that" He stated.

"Fuck you man. You are burning their fucking home down. Fuck you, and your machines!" I spat.

He let go of my hair, and I stood up, getting to his level. There was some hot tension betwen us, and Norman ended up stepping in the middle of us 2.

"Parker, listen. There still may be time to-" Grace spoke.

"Shut your fucking hole!" He yelled at her.

She was silent for a second. "Or what, Ranger Rick? You gonna shoot me?" She spat back. 

"I can do that."

I turned my back to him and rolled my eyes. "Does this man ever stop talking?"

"Can we take this down a couple notches, please?" Max spoke.

"If you wanna keep your people alive, you have to listen to her!" I pointed at Grace.

They looked at her, allowing her to speak.

"This is bad, Parker. Those trees were scred to the Omaticaya in a way you cant imagine." She shook her head.

"You throw a stick in the air around her, and it turns into some sacred fern." He said.

"This is different. Those trees are a big part of their life." She explained.

"How so?" He said, frustrated.

She sighed turning back to face Norm and I. "How do I put years of work into 3 sentances."

"Just speak from your heart." Norman smiled at her.

She sighed once more, before she started explaining everything shortly. Passion and pity were heard in her voice, but the motherfucker didnt care.

He decided to shut the avatar program for now, and put us 3 off the shuttle for now.
