Reader's P.O.V

The next morning was as normal as it got. While the others were in the mess hall for breakfast, I decided to take a trip down memory lane. I was in the armory checking out all the weaponry this place had. M60 Machine Guns, Assault Rifles, GAU-90s, AMP Suit Knifes, Standard Issue Rifles, MBS-9M .50 Caliber Hydras. They hired guns more than people...

I continued my "stroll" until I came across an old friend of mine. A sniper rifle.

I held the gun in my hands and as shameful as it made me feel, it was a beauty. I swore to my self that I'd never touch one of these things again but.. what's wrong with a little target practice? There were different shooting ranges for the rookies to use depending on the type of gun they were using. I set myself up at one for long range and immediately caught the attention of some male soldiers using the different ranges or lanes next to mine. I load the sniper, ignoring their amused smirks and eyes traveling my body.

"Hey. Don't hurt yourself, sweetheart." A soldier had the balls to say.

He's lucky I'm in a good mood today, otherwise I would of shot said balls off. Not sparing any of them a glance, I looked through the scope and honed in on my targets. Loud, singular shots rang through the room as each bullet hit it's target in all the vital areas of the human body. My shots were powerful and quick and I had a new magazine in before the empty ones hit the ground.

I shot until all cartridges were used. The barrel of the sniper was smoking as I gazed at the dismantled targets. I hate to say it... But that felt good.

I gently set the gun down and looked at the soldiers who's jaws were slack and staring at me wide eyed. I smirked at their faces before the sound of an impressed whistle was heard and the soldiers straightening themselves up in a saluting position. I turned around to see none other than Colonel Quaritch walking up to me. He dismissed the soldiers and soon it was just me and him.

"That was some mighty fine shooting. Better than most of my top trained snipers." Quaritch praised.

"Do you need something, sir?" I asked not really wanting to talk to this asshole. I got enough of him through the e-mails Grace sent me when I was helping her write her book. To call this guy narcissistic was too nice of a word.

"Getting right down to business? I like that. I'd expect nothing less from the Beast Slayer." He said making me freeze.

I thought I'd never have to hear that name again, especially from someone else's mouth. No one was supposed to know who I really was, much less know what the Beast Slayer looks like.

"How do you know about that?" I asked seriously.

"Amazing what a little deep web filing will do for you. Which is why you and your brother are perfect for this job." Quaritch said slowly walking around me, circling.

"Excuse me?" I turned towards him with a raised eyebrow. What did he want with Jake?

"The both of you, especially you, have potential. You two are what we need to learn those savages from the inside. I want the two of you to gain their trust. I need to know how to force their cooperation or hammer them hard if they don't."

I stared at the colonel in disbelief. To say I was pissed was an understatement.

"So, you want Jake and I to waltz in on the natives territory, earn their trust and then report back to you to figure a way to get them to do what you want? And if they refuse you'll kill them? Millions of innocent lives and everything they've known will be gone!!" I yelled glaring daggers at this fool.

Quaritch's calm demeanor instantly turned into an enraged one. If looks could kill, I'd be dead ten times over but mama ain't raise no bitch.

"You outta watch your tone, cadet. You'd rather choose those hostile monkeys over your own kind and a chance at resources?!" He yelled.

"If it means keeping this gorgeous world out of your greedy hands, hell yeah. I'm out and stay the fuck away from my brother." I seethed getting into the scar faced male's grill before heading for the door.

"You're making a mistake!" He yelled after me.

"Yeah? So did your mom when she gave birth to you."

~Time Skip~

Third Person's P.O.V

After that "friendly" encounter in the armory, y/n was flying through the air on a Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson with Jake, Jade, Norm and Grace in their avatar bodies because apparently they had a mission and y/n's always last to find out about everything.

Their lovely pilot was name Trudy Chacon. She was laid back, fun, had a rebellious vibe to her and overall was a pretty cool girl. She, Jade and y/n hit it off joking around with each other as they flew to wherever the hell they were going. Pandora was even more beautiful up close and personal than behind the windows of the RDA Facility. Clear sunny skies, lush green everywhere, crystal blue waters and a liveliness that Earth once rivaled.

It's the little stuff that you miss the most...

Stingbats flew alongside the Samson as it flew over a body of water. Their deep purple colors were gorgeous and one even flew into y/n's hand as she held it out. It purred and flew into her touch as she gently stroked it's back before flying back to it's flock. Jade laughed and y/n grinned back.

"Petting a stingbat and you still have all your fingers?" Trudy asked in playful disbelief.

"Crazy, right?" Jade replied.

"She's Doctor Doolittle." Jake chimed in and the snow white haired Na'vi rolled her eyes but chuckled at hearing her old nickname. She may have managed to jump the fence to the lion's habitat at the zoo when she, Jake and Tommy were only 5 and the name stuck. Nearly gave their parents a heart attack when they found y/n playing with the pride as if they were normal house cats.

Soon the ride came to an end and the Samson landed somewhere in the Pandorian jungle. Jake and some unknown soldier were the first ones off since they were the ones with the guns, then it was Grace, followed by Norm. Jade and y/n fist bumped Trudy before they hopped out themselves.

"Shut it down. We're gonna stay awhile." Grace said through a neck piece and Trudy cut the Samson's engine. Y/n hauled her pack over her shoulder and took in the beautiful nature around them.

"Y/n, forgetting something?" Grace said pointing to the seat of the Samson she was sitting on. Y/n looked to the gun she brought with her and then back to Grace.

"No." She replied.

Grace looked at her unamused and pointed to the gun again but more firmly. Y/n groaned and bent over to get it just as Norm turned around. He just wanted to retrieve the pack he left on the Samson but got a perfect view of her ass instead. It was perfectly round and delightfully plump and fit snug into the shorts she had on. It was like Norm was in a trance but one harsh blow to the ribs by Jake with the blunt of his gun snapped him out of it.

Y/n stood up and turned around before looking at Norm with a raised eyebrow.

"You alright there, Spellman?" She asked as the said male rubbed his side and shifted uncomfortably under Jake's hard glare.

"Y-yeah. I-I-'m fine..." He groaned in pain. Y/n stared at him a bit longer before shrugging and walking off into the jungle.

"That's what you get." Jade said to Norm before following after her bestfriend.

"And stay with the ship. One idiot with a gun is enough." Grace told the unknown soldier before following after Jade, leaving Norm with a possibly cracked rib and Jake in disbelief.

"Y/n has a gun two!!" He yelled.

"Yeah, but she's not stupid." Grace replied and y/n and Jade could be heard laughing up ahead. Jake pouted before following after them with Norm following suit.

The jungle was quiet with the occasional sound of animal movement. Each sound had Jake on edge and gun ready to pelt whatever with lead. Even a group of harmless prolemuris got his barrel pointed at them.

"Prolemuris. They're not aggressive." Grace said.

"Relax, Marine. You're making me nervous." She lowered Jake's gun before walking away.

Y/n looked up at the monkey type creatures as they swung through the trees and picked fruit from the branches. Their amber eyes traveled over her brother and them with slight curiosity but then y/n noticed the intensity when they landed on her. The prolemuris chittered every now and then, not so much as blinking as they stared at her. One even climbed down and hung in front of her. Y/n assumed it was a female since she had a little tiny baby clinging to her.

The baby was probably no bigger that y/n's hands and she felt her heart melt when it let out little squeaks while staring curiously at her. It held out one of it's conjoined arms to her and she slowly reached out her hands. Jake saw this and whirled around with his gun pointed but then stopped when he saw how content his older sister look while interacting with the prolemuris. Four little hands gripped onto y/n's fingers as the little baby hauled itself into her hands. The snow white haired Na'vi brought the little one close to her face and nuzzled her nose into theirs and giggled when they purred and nuzzled it's head into her cheek.

Y/n gently handed them back to their mother who cooed and chittered happily before swinging off with the rest of her group. Y/n smiled before noticing everyone staring at her in awe.

"What?" Y/n asked.

"In all my years of being here, I've never seen that happen." Grace said.

"Aren't prolemuris very protective over their young?" Jade asked.

"Yes. And to see one present one of their babies to anyone but the male of their group is rare. You must be something special, y/n." Grace gave an impressed smile which y/n returned but then it dropped when Jake decided to open his mouth.

"Oh, yeah. She's something special alright." Jake mumbled to which y/n responded by stocking her gun.

"Don't open your mouth when I have a gun in my hands."

Jake held up his hands in surrender and the trek continued.

"So, how with they know we're here?" Norm asked referring to the natives.

"I'm sure they're watching us right now." Grace replied as we came across an old shack. Y/n's eyes widened at the sight and looked at the Na'vi woman while pointing at the rundown building.

"I-is this..."

Grace nodded as they all walked inside. The place was deserted and looked to have not have been touched in years. A few children's books and playing blocks were scattered on the floor, along with some equipment catching dust.

"This was our school. Now it's just... storage. The kids were so bright. Eager to learn. They picked up English faster than I could teach it." Grace said while placing a book back on a shelf. Jade handed her another one and she smiled at it. Dr. Seuss's The Lorax.

"I love this one. The stingbats knocked them down. I keep hoping that someone will come back and read them." Grace gestured towards the small reptiles that made themselves comfortable all over y/n's body. The said female just shrugged and let the little guys do their thing while Jade just laughed at her friend's predicament.

"Why don't they come back?" Norm asked.

"The Omaticaya learned as much about us as they needed to..." Grace sighed and even with stingbats crawling all over her, y/n saw that longing look in her yellow eyes.

"What happened here?" Jake's voice rang. Y/n and Grace both looked at him and frowned at what he was referring to. Bullet holes littered the school's chalk board.

"You store guns here?" Jade asked.

"No. Now, could you all be as so kind as to help me with this gear?" Grace replied before grabbing her share of the gear and leaving the school. The pain in her eyes did not go unseen but everyone thought it was best to drop it. Everyone helped with the rest of the gear while y/n sighed and looked down at her little friends.

"Alright, guys. You heard her. Get off of me."

The stingbats let out reluctant shrieks before flying up to the schools rafters. Y/n ran to catch up with everyone else but not without taking one last glance at the forgotten school. Those bullet holes would plague her mind for awhile.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After y/n caught up with everyone else, they settled down under a tree to run some test and to take samples. The snow white haired female sat crouched by the tree's aboveground roots, preparing to insert a needle to scan it's wellbeing but stopped when she noticed her brother wondering off by himself... with Jade... Oh boy.

"Uh, you guys take over. They're on the move." Y/n said before handing the needle to Grace and going after Jake and Jade.

"If you two get yourselves killed, don't say I didn't warn you!" Y/n hollered.

"Come look at this!" Jade hollered back.

Y/n rounded a corner to see Jake and Jade entertaining themselves with a cluster of Helicoradian. Every time the two would touch one, the plant would retract into the ground. It was weird but y/n could hear the distaste in their voices as they did so. She could feel their heartbeats in time with the jungle's and hers.

"You know they don't appreciate you two doing that?" Y/n said making Jade scoff.

"Yeah, like I'm going to be scared of a pretty flower." Jade touched another and as expected, it retracted into the ground only this one brought the hole cluster down, revealing a not-so-happy Hammerhead Titanothere.

"You scared now?" Y/n asked her friend exasperatedly.

Jake had his gun raised at the beast in an instant just as Norm and Grace came running.

"Don't shoot. Don't shoot, you'll piss him off." Grace said as she and Norm took cover. The hammerhead roared and bashed it's hammer against some trees.

"It's already pissed off." Jake said keeping Jade and y/n behind him. He and Jade were the only ones panicking, y/n was just standing there calmly with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Jake, this is Pandora's rhino. Those bullets won't leave so much as a dent in it's armor." Y/n said and Jake pulled back his gun. The hammerhead bashed it's horn again and pawed at the ground.

"That's a territorial threat display. You run, he charges. Simple as that." Y/n said.

"So, what do I do, dance with it?" Jake replied and the snow white haired Na'vi rolled her eyes at his comment. The hammerhead roared and charged. Jake screamed and charged at the animal as well when suddenly y/n intersected the both of them .

The large animal skidded to a stop as y/n faced it with her arms held out in a protective manor with no fear in her eyes.

"Hey! Eyes on me!" She yelled. The hammerhead growled and huffed through it's nose.

"Relax! You're fine!"

The beast only growled again and seemed to be eyeing her. Y/n kept her arms held out and looked down to see it eyeing the gun she had strapped to her. It didn't like her gun.

"Oh, is that what your problem is? Well, you're in luck. I don't like it either." Y/n threw her gun to the ground and the animal visibly calmed down. It's large eyes gazed curiously at her and cocked it's head to the side.

"We cool now?" Y/n smiled and patted her leg like she would a dog.

"Come here. It's alright."

The hammerhead made a rumbling sound and stepped forward. Jake kept his gun aimed at the thing just in case but Jade forced it down, not taking her eyes off the scene in front of her. Everyone watched in awe as y/n ran her hands along the animal's horn and it let out a pleased purr, making the said girl smile and giggle.

"You were just scared, huh? You're just a baby.~" Y/n cooed in a baby voice, scratching under the hammerhead's chin.

"That's a baby?" Jade asked in disbelief.

"Dr. Doolittle strikes again." Jake grinned before stepping forward to pet the hammerhead but it suddenly let out a scared whine and made a bee-line for the herd behind it, almost knocking y/n over.

"Hey! Where you going?" Y/n called after it.

"Why'd it run?" Jake asked.

"I don't know. Maybe you're just that ugly." Y/n teased.

"Oh, ha-ha. Very funny." Jake replied sarcastically as they were both unaware of the danger sneaking up on them.

"U-Uh, guys?" Jade stuttered fearfully.

"What- Oh, shit." Y/n cut herself off when she saw not one but two cat-like creatures stalking behind them. They both roared and suddenly jumped over the twins and Jade and hissed at the herd before turning back to them.

Despite the situation they were in, y/n had to admire their beauty. Never has she seen this species with traits such as theirs.

U-uh, y/n? You wanna work your magic?" Jade asked.

"Bitch, those are Thanators. You got me fucked up if you think I'm touching that." Y/n responded, looking at Jade like she grew a second tail.

"Then what? Run? Don't run?" Jake inquired with his gun aimed at both thanators.

"Run! Definitely run!" Grace yelled and the three didn't need to be told twice. They hightailed it out of there and the thanators gave into the chase.

Y/n got separated from Jake and Jade when the peacock-looking thanator lunged at her and she barrel rolled out of the way. Jake and Jade took cover in a hollow tree while y/n scrambled to her feet and ran with the blue thanator hot on her tail... literally.

The black and red thanator clawed at the roots and multiple rounds were heard as Jake shot at the beast but his attempts were futile when it ripped the gun from his grasp. Y/n panted as she swiftly maneuvered through the forest, in hopes of losing the blue thanator in the trees but it stayed on her. She managed to climb into a tree thanks to some vines hanging down but surprise surprise, the damn thing could climb.

The snow white haired female ran along the tree branches and jumped from one tree to another but then stopped when she heard Jade yelling to her brother. She looked and gasped when she saw Jake being thrown around like a ragdoll by the black thanator.

"Jake, your pack-OH, SHIT!!" Y/n screamed as the blue thanator burst through the bark of the tree, destroying the branch she was on, making her plummet to the ground. She frantically grabbed onto the vines which slowed her fall but a drop from a 100 some foot tree still hurt like hell.

"Y/n!!" Jade yelled and ran to the fallen girl's aid. She helped her up and ran just as Jake managed to slip from his pack. The two girls skidded to a stop, mere inches from running over the edge of a cliff but Jake, not knowing how to hit the breaks, crashed into them and all three plummeted into the harsh current below.
