A/N: Alright, here we go!!! This is the preamble to the battle. Credits to MissRockerTammy for the amazing art of Jake Sully above, and there will be some chatting between Mo'at and my OC, then Alex and her as well. Can you guess why my OC is so protective more over her home now more than ever??? I really want you guys to guess.
(Quaritch's POV-Hell's Gate)
I look around at all the assembled men and women in the room that I have prepared for this war. I then start my speech.
"Everyone on this base, every one of you, is fighting for survival. That's a fact!" The blinds behind me close as the room darkens then the satellite feed of the forest comes up with the hostiles. "There's an aboriginal horde out there massing for an attack. Now, these orbital images tell me that the hostiles' numbers have gone from a few hundred to well over 2,000 in one day." I press a button as the enemy forces seems to have almost taken over the entire satellite feed. "And more are pouring in. In a week's time, there could be 20,000 of them." I press the button again as the enemy forces seems to have multiplied once more. I look at everyone as I continue,
"At that point, they will overrun our perimeter. Well, that's not gonna happen! Our only security lies in pre-emptive attack. We will fight terror with terror." I then switch screens again to where their despicable stronghold is. "Now, the hostiles believe that this mountain stronghold of theirs is protected by their...." I scoff and say scornfully, "their deity." The soldiers seem to snicker some. "And when we destroy it, we will blast a crater in their racial memory so deep that they won't come within 1,000 klicks of this place ever again. And that, too, is a fact." As I close it off, the soldiers cheer.
I then start ordering everyone to get their payload ready and arm the Valkyrie with daisy cutter bombs.
(Siera's POV-Site 26, Tree of Souls)
I can see Trudy getting her gun ready at my side, and so is Norm as well. Alex and Jake are still going over the plan just in case. Then we get a call from Max, so we patch him on through.
"Jake, it's crazy here," he explains. "It's full mobilization. They're rigging the shuttle as a bomber. They've got these huge pallets of mine explosives. It's for some kind of shock-and-awe campaign." I shake my head as Trudy says,
"Fricking daisy cutters!" I just nod as I look at her and say,
"Aye, yah've got the right word there, Trudy." She just sends a smile my way. I then turn back to listen to Max as he says,
"Quaritch has taken over. He's rolling, and there's no stopping him."
"When?" Jake asks him. Alex would've answered as well, but since Jake beat him to it, he doesn't say anything. I look at him then turn back to Max.
"0600 tomorrow." He answers. I then hear a woman saying Max's name and Max saying,
"I gotta go." He then shuts off the screen, cutting off the link. Norm shuts off the communications and says,
"We're screwed!" Trudy just laughs and says,
"And I was hoping for some sort of tactical plan that didn't involve martyrdom." She shifts her weapon as she says to Jake and Alex,
"We're going up against gunships with bows and arrows." Jake, not looking the least bit upset, says,
"I have 15 clans out there. That's over 2,000 warriors. Now, we know these mountains. We fly them. You fly them. They don't. Their instruments won't work up here. Missile tracking won't work. They'll have to fire a line of sight. If they bring the fight to us, then we have the home-field advantage." I look at him. I really hope this plan of his works, otherwise we are screwed in more ways than one. Alex looks at him.
