ZIGGY COULDN'T BREATHE. He was witnessing a dead body. The body of Neteyam Sully. He couldn't hold it in anymore. He couldn't hold his tears in anymore. And especially since Mabel is bawling her eyes out as the Tsierya, Spider, and the Sully's went quiet.

"Neteyam.." Neytiri softly said as the helpless body didn't respond.

"No, no! No! Neteyam!" Neytiri exclaimed in a pain voice. She screamed in pain as Jake pulled her in for a hug. She whimpered as she hugged her dead son.

"Great mother no. No great mother." She cried out, squeezing her son. Ziggy squeezed his eyes shut, hoping it was a dream. But it wasn't.

"Oh my son! No!" Neytiri screamed. Tsireya cried softly as Mabel continue to ball her eyes out.

Ziggy rested his head on Lo'ak's shoulder, who was looking at his hands. They were covered with blood. A tear fell down Lo'ak's face.

Neytiri continued crying out. Quaritch was talking to Jake through their communicating thing on their neck.

"Where are your sisters?" Jake asked Lo'ak who looked up at his father. "Your sisters where are they?"

"I don't know." Lo'ak replied as he looked back down. Ziggy licked his lips as Tsireya spoke up.

"They're tied up on the ship. They're tied up on the ship."

"They're at the moon pool. At the well deck. Midships." Spider said as Jake looked confused as hell.

"What?"

"Come on, I'll show you." Spider said, grabbing Jake's hand. Jake went down to Neytiri as Ziggy went over to Mabel.

"Mabel.." Ziggy said softly as Mabel pushed him away from her.

"It's not your fault Mabel."

"I know. It's yours." Mabel said as Ziggy felt hurt. His own sister was blaming him for Neteyam's death.

Some time later, Neytiri got up and went to her Ikran. She got on.

"Dad, I want to go with you." Lo'ak said as Jake stared at his youngest and only son.

"You've done enough." Jake said, getting on an Ilu with Spider.

Ziggy got up and grabbed Lo'ak's hand. Lo'ak looked over at him as they both crouched down to Neteyam.

"I have to help them." Lo'ak said as he squeezed Ziggy's hand.

"Lo'ak." Ziggy got out as Lo'ak stood up.

"Stay with them." Lo'ak said, putting his hand on Ziggy's cheek.

"Lo'ak please!" Ziggy called out as his tears were blinding his sight.

"No!" Tsireya said as Mabel was quiet.

"How could this happen?" Mabel asked softly as Ziggy was tempted to roll his eyes. He didn't want to even look nor talk to her after what she said.

"Ziggy..." Tsireya said as Ziggy turned around to see what Tsireya was looking at. It was Ziggy and Mabel's father. Ricky.

"It didn't have to be this way." Ricky said as Ziggy looked at his hand. Ricky had a knife. Ziggy pushed Tsireya behind him. Mabel grabbed Ziggy's hand.

"Don't do it." Mabel said as Ziggy yanked his hand from her grasp.

"Like you care." Ziggy said as he stood up. Ziggy and Ricky were face to face now. Ziggy took his knife from his pocket.

Ricky yelled out as he charged at Ziggy. Ziggy ducked once Ricky swung at him. Ziggy slashed Ricky's side as he screamed out in pain.

Ziggy only had one working arm. It wasn't he good arm but it was decent.

Ricky pushed Ziggy to which they both dropped their knives. Ricky grabbed Ziggy's neck as he began choking him. Ziggy tried to breathe but he couldn't. He tried to reach for the knife but it was too far.

Tsireya saw that he was going for the knife. She slid it over to him as Ziggy grabbed the knife, and stabbed Ricky's jaw. Ricky screamed as he let go of him. Ziggy got on top of him and stabbed him. Over and over and over.

Blood was splattering all over Ziggy's face, and his clothes. He stabbed him approximately 35 times to the point where Ricky wasn't breathing.

Ziggy groaned loudly as both of the girls looked at him all shocked.

Noise from the ocean grabbed Ziggy's attention. It was Raheem. Ziggy smiled. He went over Raheem who was splashing in enjoyment.

"Hey buddy." Ziggy said softly as he pet his head.

An hour have past and the Sully's weren't back yet. Ziggy got worried.

"Ziggy!" The voice of Lo'ak exclaimed as Ziggy was too tired and weak to even react. The Sully family were riding on top of Payakan. They all got off as Lo'ak bent down to Ziggy.

Lo'ak took a glance at Ricky's messed up dead body, then looked at Ziggy.

"I killed him." Ziggy whispered as Lo'ak pulled him in for a hug.

Β Β  The sky was very blue. The sun was shining on Ziggy's face. Raheem decided to stay with him and the others because he didn't want to loose Ziggy.

Β Β  Ziggy's was swinging his feet back and forth in the water. Lo'ak sat next to him. He gently shoved him with his shoulder.

Β Β  "This isn't your fault." Ziggy said as Lo'ak looked at the water. He then looked at Neteyam. Tuk and Neytiri were crying by his body.

Β Β  "Ziggy, it's not yours either." Lo'ak replied as Ziggy heard someone call his name.

Β Β  "Ziggy." Jake said in a stern voice as Ziggy quickly stood up.

Β Β  "Even though you lied to us the entire time, you never gave up on this family." Jake said as Ziggy's heart dropped.

Β Β  "You're a Sully. Both of you." He said, looking at both of the twins.

Β Β  "I'm sorry I kneed you in the crotch." Ziggy said, his voice cracked a bit.

Β Β  "No you're not." Jake said, smirking.

Β Β  "I'm really not." Ziggy replied, smirking back.

Β Β  The Johnson's, the Sully's, and Tsireya made it back safe and sound to the Metkayina people. Ziggy and Mabel haven't spoke to each other. It was now Neteyam's funeral. The Sully's and Spider were in the water with his body.

Β Β  Mabel wanted to join them. She never said this out loud but she loved him. Ziggy wanted to to be there as well but he couldn't do it. He stood next to Tsireya, who was being held by Aonung. A single tear fell down Ziggy's face as he slowly left.

Β Β  Ziggy went to his hut and began packing his things. He didn't want to cause harm to anyone else anymore.

Β Β  "What're you doing?" Mabel asked him, startling him.

Β Β  "What do you want?" Ziggy asked in a stuffy tone.

Β Β  "Why are you leaving? Neteyam already left me, why do you have to too?"

Β Β  "I thought you didn't want to be around with someone who caused his death?"

Β Β  Mabel stood there quiet. "What?"

Β Β  "I overheard what you said to Jake. You said that I wasn't your brother anymore. And that you wished it was me instead of Neteyam." Ziggy explained as Mabel started to tear up.

Β Β  "I really don't care about you anymore either." Ziggy said as he shoved past her, leaving her speechless.

Β Β  Ziggy was walking, but stopped once he saw the Sully's. He couldn't do it. He didn't want to leave them.

Β Β  After all, they were his family.
