One woman army, We know what you whisper & Decades mashup

Kailua woke up with a groan. "Ah, she's awake again! Get the colonel," A voice said somewhere to her left. She sat slowly, rubbing her eyes. "Peseng am ohe?" She asked. "And the monkey boy. We've got a full native here," The voice from earlier said with a hint of disgust. Had Kailua been slightly more awake, she would have taken offence. Kailua looked around, worry falling heavier and heavier in her heart. She met the eyes of another na'vi, but not from the sea. No, this one was a forest na'vi. The dark colours and thicker stripes said so. But oddly enough, the woman wasn't wearing the usual attire. "Pelun are ngenga ke'u keye'ung na'vi clothes?" The woman sneered. "Don't talk to me," She hissed.

Kailua sat back on her knees. Oh. This must be a sky person. Lo'ak and Neteyam mentioned how they're rude with no regard for any safety. They're also killers of na'vi and to comply if you wanna live. She waited silently until this... monkey boy turned up. "Ngenga kin be monkey boy," She said upon his arrival. He too, belonged to the forest, if his blue stripes were any indication. "Go on monkey mascot," A taller blue man followed in behind, clasping a hand on the younger, pink boy. The pink boy glared. "Ask her where he is. And remind her I ain't got all day. I let her sleep in to be fair. Make her keep her end," The larger one said again. Kailua focused all her anger and hatred into a glare at the tall blue man. The pink boy took a seat opposite Kailua with a small smile. "Ngenga kin be monkey boy," She said slowly. "Ngenga can mawey me Spider," He said. "Ok, Spider. Pelun am ohe keye'ung this room? What do the hì'i people tsam from me?" She asked quickly.

"What is she saying, boy?" The tall man snapped. "Nothing yet. Give me a minute." Spider snapped back. Kailua sat back, slightly amused. "Po knows ohe 'ong his hì'i-tseng(e) words, nga? Ohe si tukru it, txìm ohe 'ong it," Spider hummed. "No. He probably doesn't," The tall guy huffed angrily. "Listen girlie, I ain't in the mood for any games. Answer the questions, and you don't get hurt. Capichè?" Kailua simply raised her brow. One thing her parents had installed in all of them was to never show fear; comply, but never show fear. Fear gives the enemy something to latch onto, something to hurt you with. Don't show it, and they can't.

Kailua repeated her earlier question to Spider. "Itan tsam Jake," He said softly. "Jake Sully? Toruk Makto?" Kailua asked quickly. If this man was after Jake, then he was heading in the right area. She'd need to throw him off; he looks like bad news. "Yeah. Do ngenga atxkxe peseng po might be?" Spider asked softly. Maybe he is related to Jake. Perhaps a son? Lo'ak received his dad's five fingers and eyebrows.... maybe Spider was extremely unlucky and was born more from his sky-person self.

"Pelun do the hì'i people tsam him?" Kailua asked. "Ngenga don't tsam to atxkxe," Spider threw a sour look over his shoulder. "Ngenga are from the txoa, nga? Pelun help the hì'i people? 'itan are killers of na'vi ulte tìkawng eywa ngahu," She tried to implore. If he was a son of Jake, and the man had shown her nothing but kindness (albeit hesitant) then she'd do her best to ensure his safety. "Ohe... Can ke'u leave. 'itan will kì'ong me txokefyaw ohe do," Spider looked to the ground. Kailua sighed as she glared up at the tall man from earlier.

"I'm runnin' outta patience, princess. Answer the boy. Where is Jake Sully? Toruk Makto," The tall man hissed, sneering. Kailua hissed lowly, baring her fangs. "Aight... why don't we calm down in here, huh?" A tall man walked in through the doors, taller than the guy already in the room. "Lyle, take five. I'll deal with her,"

She snarled as the tall man sat in front, grinning. "You're quite a hard shell to crack, cupcake," He said. "But I'm feeling nice today. I'm prepared to offer you a deal," He continued grinning. It wasn't a grin that brought forth happiness. "You answer my questions... and I let you go," Kailua narrowed her eyes. "Pefya do ohe atxkxe po will ke'u track me? Ohe si tsam them ke'u nìtut to my 'eveng. My nì'ul does ke'u do fpom with outsiders," She asked. Spider translated her words to the man. "If you are not harbouring Jake Sully, then I won't visit your clan," He continued grinning. "Ma nì'ul will kì'ong him txokefyaw po follows me. Is tsakem clear?" Kailua warned. Spider shrugged. "Let him find out the hard way,"

She sighed heavily and nodded. "Excellent," The man grinned.

Kailua was unsure about how she ended up escaping. It all kinda blurred together. One moment she was dozing in the cell, Spider had told her, the next she felt her Queue being grabbed. In her panic, she lashed out and bit the intruding hand with all her might. The intruder roared in pain, slamming her against the wall as he shoved her away. Kailua ran out of the cell, desperately looking for the water, or a way out. There were people running after her if the sounds of thundering footsteps sounded enough. She panted, rounding a corner. Her shoulders slumped in relief. The ocean! Kailua ran, throwing herself over the railing when arms wrapped around her waist. She lashed, cursing them out.

"I said I'd be nice if you played along!"

Panic enveloping her every being, Kailua threw her hand out. The good news is; the guy let go of her body. Bad news is the water blew a hole through his stomach. Taking advantage of the shocked and stunned silence, Kailua threw herself over the railing and into the water with a splash.
