AS THE METKAYINA warriors along with you, Jake, Tonowari and Ronal rode on your tsuraks towards the demon ships, Jake told Tonowari to stop everyone when noticing that they were at a good distance away from the ships.

"Stop, stop them." Jake said to Tonowari. Your father raised his spear in the air as a signal to the warriors to stop.

"Dad! Mama!" Tuk beamed with a smile upon seeing you and Jake in the front lines. Tsireya smiled as she spotted her parents and you. Loak sighed in relief as soon as he saw you and Jake. Jake raised up his gun, looking through the lenses, "They got our kids, your daughter." Jake said to Ronal and Tonowari, they hissed in anger, Ronal held onto her spear tightly, holding back angry tears. "Tuk, Loak." Jake continued with so much frustration built up inside. You hissed venomously, baring your fangs at the mention of your kids and your sister.

Quaritch snatched Loaks comms off of his neck, "I took you under my wing Jake, you betrayed me. Good men good women. I will not hesitate to execute your kid." He spoke through the comms as he pressed his gun against the back of Loaks head. Jake let out a deep hiss. Your eyes widened in fear, when Quaritch pressed his gun on Loak's head.

"So what's it gonna be?" Quaritch continued. "Check your fire, I'm coming out." Jake spoke through the comms, as he began to swim forward. Your eyes widened. "Ma'Jake! No Ma'Jake! Don't do this!" You screamed as tears began to well up in your eyes. Jake looked down closing his eyes, as tears started to pour from his eyes. Your mate was willing to sacrifice his life for you and your kids. You couldn't live without him, you wouldn't know what to do without him by your side. Underwater Payakan noticed Loak and the kids tied up on the ship, he wailed in anger seeing his beloved friend in the clutches of the Sky People. Payakan swam up high in the air and landed on the demon ship, he let out angry wails as he destroyed the Sky People with his fins. "Payakan!" Tuk exclaimed innocently, happy that he was there to save them.

Not wasting any more time, Jake let out a war cry ready to fight, holding his gun up in the air as his tsurak began to swim rapidly. Ronal, Tonowari, you and the Metkayina immediately raised your spears in the air letting out cry's and yips upon Jake's command. All of you started swimming at a fast speed on your tsuraks. You yipped and screamed with so much confidence and courage. One of the demon ships began to shoot bullet's, you all swam underwater avoiding them.

You came from underwater letting out a war cry, and threw your spear into the air, it then landed perfectly through the humans chest. You yipped with pride.

Tonowari came from underwater aswell, stabbing a human with his spear as he yelled angrily. Then Ronal swam up charging her spear at a human, letting out a war cry aswell.

Jake shot multiple bullets at a ship, yipping. It then exploded into flames. You charged at another ship stabbing your spear into another human, you let out a battle cry in victory. You kept swimming underwater  looking for ships, once you spotted one you unexpectedly came up from underneath stabbing a human in the chest with your spear, letting out a Metkayina war cry.

Lei'wa continued to look for other demon ships on her tsurak, as she was doing so Quaritch came from behind you on his ikran, trying to shoot you. Your eyes widened with fear, you quickly started dodging the bullet's. Letting out a yip for Jake, he immediately recognized your call and submerged from underneath and began to shoot as many bullet's as he could at Quaritch. He yelled furiously barring his fangs.

Unfortunately Jake ran out of bullet's, he grunted in irritation. Quaritch took this chance to shoot at Jake, Jake immediately ducked underwater, avoiding the bullet's. He then swam up and his tsurak bit Quaritch's ikran with so much force. Jake growled fiercely. The Ikran screeched as it fell under water before flying away, Quaritch fell underwater in defeat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Neteyam arrived at the demon ship to save his siblings and Tsireya, on his ilu. He jumped off of his ilu and landed on the ship. "Neteyam!" Tuk yelled, happy to see her older brother. "Bro!" Loak exclaimed with a smile. Neteyam cut Tsireya and Tuk free. "Get Tuk out of here okay?" Neteyam said to Tsireya, she nodded her head before leaving with Tuk. "Bro come on hurry up!" Loak said with anticipation. "Who's the mighty warrior come on say it." Neteyam replied chuckling as he cut Loak free. "Bro!" Loak replied playfully. Neteyam and Loak didn't want to leave Spider alone so they saved him and made it back safely.

While Tuk and Tsireya were swimming back to the village, they heard someone screaming for help. They quickly turned their heads at the familiar voice. It was Kiri, Lyle took her again. "It's Kiri! Come on we have to go back for her!" Tuk said to Tsireya as she began to swim back to the ship. "Tuk come back!" Tsireya replied. "Sullys stick together." Tuk responded back, swimming even faster.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unfortunately, when Tuk and Tsireya tried to save Kiri they both got tied up again on the ship. Neteyam and Loak also went back to look for Kiri, Tuk and Tsireya when they noticed that they weren't at the village. You landed your tsurak perfectly near a large rock, along with Jake behind you. The both of you grew worry when you couldn't find the kids. Jake was about to speak when Quaritch spoke through the comms. "I got your kids Jake, including that reef girl." He spoke venomously. You hissed at his words.

Jake's eyes widened, "Yeah, I hear you, you son of a bitch." Jake spoke back into the comms. You immediately called for Tíli, you wanted to end this demon's life once and for all. "Ma'Jake, come on let's go." You spoke up desperately. He nodded his head at you and got on his tsurak. "Let's go get our kids." He said firmly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe I'm tied up again!" Tuk whined. "It's okay Tuk Tuk, everything's gonna be okay." Tsireya spoke softly, trying to calm Tuk down. Kiri was shivering with terror. She was so exhausted from everything that has passed. She just wanted to see you and Jake. Neteyam tried his best to keep his siblings calm even though he wasn't calm himself in this situation.

Once you and Jake got to the ship, the both of you rushed to your kids after spotting them tied up. "Mama! Dad!" Tuk exclaimed quietly with a cheerful smile on her face. "Mama's here Tuk, your okay." You replied as you held your daughter close. Neteyam and Loak's eyes lit up upon seeing you and Jake. Kiri and Tsireya sighed in relief. "Mom! Dad!" Neteyam, Loak, and Kiri said in unison. "Sister! Jake!" Tsireya said happy to see you both. She missed you dearly.

Jake untied all of them. Neteyam and Loak jumped into Jake's arms, elated to see their father. Jake smiled as he hugged his son's close. They pulled away before pulling you in for a tight embrace, and then pulled away. Tsireya made her way over to you embracing you in a hug.

"Sister! I missed you so much!" She exclaimed as she began to cry. "I missed you too sister, I'm right here." You replied as you stroked her hair. Tuk made her way over to Jake and nuzzled her head in his neck, seeking comfort from her father.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EVENTUALLY Jake fought Quaritch, along with you fighting Quaritch's men. Jake finally defeated Quaritch once and for all. You and your family made it back home safe and sound. Spider went back to the forest with Norm since he wasn't allowed to stay with the Metkayina.

It was a sunny and hot day outside, you were in your hut cooking breakfast for your family. Jake woke up a little while after you. "Mmm, what's that smell. Its smells good." Jake spoke as he made his way towards the kitchen part of the mauri. He smiled when he saw you cooking. He hugged you from behind. You giggled fondly, "It's some fruits and vegetables Ma'Jake." You replied. "And it tastes delicious." He replied back after snatching a fruit from the bowl playfully. You chuckled at his actions.

The kids woke up to the smell of your cooking, all excited to eat. You spent the rest of the day with your family, laughing, making jokes here and there. Your heart was full again, You smiled as you admired your kids playing and having fun. You couldn't be happier.

"Sully's stick together."
