A/N: Alright, here we are!!! The battle for Pandora!!! Let's get it underway!!!!! I'm almost done with this book, I'm so excited!! Remember, I own NOTHING and Malrog_the_dragon owns Alex!!! Music in this chapter belongs to its respective artist!!!

(Normal POV-Hell's Gate)
The beating of the rotors can easily be heard by the soldiers and the rest of the administration on Hell's Gate as Quaritch and the rest of the RDA prepare to take off on Scorpions, Samsons, a Dragon gunship and a Valkyrie shuttle armed with daisy cutter bombs followed by soldiers on machine guns and turrets. They immediately take off with some of the soldiers cheering down below.

"Yeah, yeah! That's what I'm talking about, man!" A soldier calls out as Parker watches from inside and sighs, not pleased with the fact that he's been overthrown from his position and now Quaritch has taken over. He knows that this will either end bad or good. Either way, he does not care.

(Siera's POV-in the air, Hallelujah Mountains)
We are ready for war. I fly alongside Jake, Alex, Neytiri, Tsu'tey and Ikeyni in front. Jake turns to look at me, and seems to smirk somewhat at my appearance.

My face has been painted with green and white war paint, my hair is decorated with feathers from each of the clans, despite the fact that a quarter of my face is still scarred from the destruction of Hometree, but honestly, I think the scar is pretty badass. I even have Alex's handprint on my chest, a communication collar on my neck, and a small device near my pinna, not to mention some of the war paint is on my belly to indicate that I am indeed with child. Alex has tried to persuade me not to partake in this battle, but I was like, screw that. I'm fighting for the home in which I'm raising my child in. I then catch the eye of Jake, who wears orange and black war paint, he has grenades strapped to his body, and he's armed with a machine gun. He then turns to the Olo'ekytan of the Omatikaya, Tsu'tey, who too has white war paint, he has the hands of his clan on his shoulders and back, lifts up his bow in acknowledgment, then he turns to Neytiri, who has yellow and green war paint on her face, as she rides her Ikran, Seze, on Jake's left. I then turn to Alex.

He too is wearing war paint, but his war paint matches mine, he even has my handprints on his chest and back. The armor he wears reminds me of the Tipani clan, but mine is different, especially the mask I'm wearing too, plus the rider's mask over my eyes thanks to the Tawkami clan. I then turn my eyes to the upcoming war ahead.

The plan is simple: we wait until the Valkyrie, Dragon, Scorpions and Samsons are right on top of us, then we'll have Akwey, the Olangi clan leader and Norm lead the ground forces against the soldiers and AMP suits on the ground. Once that happens, Jake and I will lead the air force to do a surprise attack from the air on the Samsons and Scorpions, then we'll have Tsu'tey come in and tell Ikeyni to let her forces come down from the rocks, then we take the fight straight to them. Simple enough.

So we fly up to the rocks, cling on, and wait. I don't even breathe, but I can somewhat hear slight flapping of wings from the Ikrans, but other than that, we are deathly still.

(Quaritch's POV-Dragon)

I immediately look around as we are flying for the Tree of Souls. I then hear Group Leader over comms.

"This is Group Leader. We are entering the Flux Vortex." I continue looking out over the horizon, scanning the air.

"Switch to manual flight mode." I hear Group Leader say.

"Copy. Manual flight mode."

As we continue flying, I realize it is somewhat silent except for our engines running. I think it's time we dropped the ground team on the ground.

"This is Papa Dragon. I want this mission high and tight. I want to be home for dinner." The Scorpions start to land on the ground as we start dropping our ground forces on the ground.

"Suit Team, go." I order over comms. Lyle Wainfleet, who's in charge of our ground forces in AMP suits, says,

"Alright, ladies, let's bring the pain!" They jump down from the open Dragon shuttle as we start getting close to the Tree of Souls. We now got men on the ground and men in the air now. A Staff Sergeant yells out,

"Move, move, move!" More soldiers and AMP suits come off the Dragon as they charge through the forest. I watch from the scanners to be sure. I can hear over comms,

"Bravo 1-1, move left." The AMP suit commander says as they trudge through the underbrush.

"Bravo 1-1 moving left. Watch flank." I hear a second commander say. "Watch formation. Keep moving."

"Roger that." I hear the first commander say.

"Charlie 2-1, watch your spacing." I hear Wainfleet say.

"Copy that. Over." The first AMP Suit Commander says again. I keep my eyes not just on the ground team but the air just in case.

"Eyes up. Check that overhead. And watch those thermal scans." I hear Wainfleet say.

"All call signs, Papa has lead, pushing to target." I say. I narrow my eyes. "Escorts, stay close on my shuttle." As we keep moving, I hear one of the pilots say,

"We are gonna lose some paint in here." I just look around a bit more, trying to find where they could be.

"Gun crews, keep your head on a swivel," I tell the crews on guns on top of the Valkyrie. "Make no mistake, people. They're out there." I then look ahead of me as I see that we are inbound for our target.

"All right, people, target in sight. Range, four klicks. Valkyrie 1-6, get your payload ready." I say, turning to the Valkyrie. The crews start going around and they start to roll the bombs to the ramp of the shuttle.

The Valkyrie shuttle crew immediately says,

"Copy. Prepare to offload." The other pilot says,

"Staff Sergeant, stage the weapon."

"Roll it to the ramp!" The Staff Sergeant yells. The crew push it to the ramp. "Hold!" He says, as they stop. We continue moving.

(Siera's POV-Hiding position)

I'm getting antsy waiting, but we have to wait till they're almost right on top of us. Once that happens, we can bring this fight to them. I can see Ikeyni a few feet away from me, but I can't see Jake and Toruk, nor can I see Seze or Neytiri. I can feel Alex's Ikran, Ieyte, at my side, so I know he's here. Blinking my eyes, I wait. For now.

(Wainfleet's POV-Ground)

As I walk, I notice something on the thermals, so I stop.

"Charlie 2-1, got big movement."

"Hold position." I say.

"Hold up, hold up." The AMP Suit Commander says. I hold up a hand to show that I mean stop, to hold our position.

"We got movement out there, 500 meters." I say to my men.

"Charlie 2-1, hold position." I then listen, hearing what seems to be galloping hooves hitting the ground, and closing on our position, fast.

(Normal POV-Dragon)
"Sir, ground has movement! Fast approaching." One of the pilots of the Dragon says to Quaritch. Quaritch walks to him and looks at his screen.

"Charlie Oscar, Rider section." A pilot says as Quaritch leans against the chair, looking at the pilot's radar and thermal scans.

(Ground)

"Firing line!" Wainfleet says as he and his men form a line, guns raised, ready to shoot down the Na'vi on direhorses.

"Targets closing. Range, 400 meters." They end up seeing the direhorses, the warriors led by Akwey and Norm leading the charge to the RDA ground forces.

"Can't you clean it up?" Quaritch asks from the Dragon gunship.

"No, sir. It's the Flux." The pilot answers him.

The warriors continue their charge, Akwey letting out a battle cry. Norm does the same as he rides alongside the warriors on their direhorses.

(Siera's POV-Air)

I can see Toruk and Seze already in the air, and I grin as I join them. Toruk screeches as he flaps his wings, Jake holding onto the harness as he holds his gun in the other hand. Tsu'tey flies in, so does Alex on his Ikran as well. We come out of hiding and meet the Dragon and Valkyrie head on. Jake then lifts his gun and hoots out, telling Tsu'tey to let the others know to drop the hammer. Tsu'tey then yells out in Na'vi to fly down and attack, and I hear ululating from Ikeyni as she flies her Ikran, leading her clan into battle.

(Play music above now)

I then hear Jake over comms say to Tsu'tey, "brother, I'm gonna punch a hole, you follow me through."

"Understood." Tsu'tey says in Na'vi as we fly right into the midst of the battle. Jake lets out another war cry in rage as Toruk grabs the tail end of the Scorpion and with all its strength, takes it out. He flings it into the rock face, destroying it. I then take out a pilot in a Samson with my arrow, watching as it breaks the glass and kills the pilot within. Tsu'tey and Neytiri do the same to two more Samson pilots before we break off, leading the Scorpions away from the Dragon for Jake. I can only imagine the ground forces right now. They're probably getting decimated by Wainfleet and his troops. Gritting my teeth, I keep flying, Alex at my side as we do. Alex then shoots an arrow into the cockpit of a Scorpion, sending it flying into the rock face. I then see the Dragon and I gasp.

"All aircraft, weapons free, weapons free!" Quaritch says as he watches his escorts start getting taken out by the rest of us. "Break right. Come around." He then ends up saying as Norm starts shooting at the ground forces below,

"Break formation, engage all hostiles." Sooner or later, the Scorpions and Samsons break apart to pursue our warriors. Many of the Ikrans get taken out due to the firepower of the RDA, but we're not letting up at all. Quaritch then spots me as he sees my Ikran, and I gasp, steering Tsu'llu away.

"That's her! Get after her!" I hear Quaritch say as he chases me and Tsu'llu. Then, I hear a screech and a gunshot and I look up to see that Jake has taken out a Scorpion pilot that was aiming for me. I grin in thanks, before I keep flying in.

I then hear Quaritch say to his Scorpions,

"All Scorpions, pursue and destroy!" The Scorpions then train their missiles against us, taking out our air force entirely. I watch as many of our warriors go down for the count. Not good. Growling, I yank on Tsu'llu's queue, moving away so I don't get caught in the crossfire.

"Jake, Jake! You copy?" I hear Norm yell from the ground. "We're falling back! We're getting hammered!"

"Copy, get out of there!" Jake says to the comms before Quaritch spots us both, and I steer Tsu'llu away, and he does the same with Toruk. I then turn back to see him break away. He's leading Quaritch away from me. I hope it won't be too long though. We still need our leader.

A/N: Welp, that's the end of this one!! Next chapter will be heart wrenching. But get ready for it!!!
