Unwanted: Chapter 26, Unsurprising - Pt. 2

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Avenger!Fem!Reader

Summary: When your FWB relationship with your best friend Bucky Barnes turns into something more, you couldn’t be happier. That is, however, until a new Avenger sets her sights on your super soldier and he inadvertently breaks your heart. You take on a mission you might not be prepared for to put some distance between the two of you and open yourself up to past traumas. Too bad the only one who can help you heal is the one person you can no longer trust.

Warnings: (For this part only; see Story Masterlist for general Warnings) Language, discussions of death, human trafficking, guilt and forgiveness.

Word Count: 666 (oops!) 😈

Previously On...: Bucky bought you a new mattress so you wouldn't have to deal with the aftermath of your old one <3

A/N: More conversation

Later, after he’d helped you remake the bed with the new comforter and sheet set he’d bought for you (or rather, one of three different sets he’d bought, wanting you to have a choice), you’d sat him down in the livingroom and painstakingly went over the details you and Sam had managed to put together of your case so far.

“And that brings us to Chloe,” you said, sadly pinning up a copy of the girl’s autopsy photo you’d hacked from the coroner’s files onto your now crowded caseboard. “She’s their latest victim. Whomever they sold her to, he was vicious and he didn’t waste any time. It was only three days after they took her that her body showed up.”

Bucky nodded in understanding. “That’s the girl you mentioned last night,” he said. “The one you said you lost. Pocket, you gotta know that wasn’t your fault, right?”

You took in a shaky breath. “How can it be anything other than my fault, Bucky? I was right in the fucking room when they took her, but I was too strung out to notice what was happening right in front of my face!”

Bucky stood up and walked toward you. For a second, you thought he was going to hold you again, but at the last moment, he seemed to reconsider, instead opting to put a comforting hand on your shoulder. “You said you did that extra line so that other girl wouldn’t have to,” he said, his voice soft and calm, lacking any ounce of blame. “Seems to me like you found yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place, with no real way out. You couldn’t have known they were planning on taking a new girl that night.”

“But I should’ve suspected it, planned for it,” you said, not wanting to be let off the hook for your failure. “I let myself get sloppy, get stupid, and a girl fucking died because of it!”

This time, Bucky did hold you again, and you let him. “We all make mistakes, love,” he said softly. “Sometimes they're small, like leaving the milk out overnight, but sometimes they're huge, and there’s no undoing them. No matter how badly we want to.” A shift in his tone told you he wasn’t just speaking of your mistakes now, but his own, as well. “We can spend the rest of our lives beating ourselves up over them, hating ourselves, but it’s never gonna change what we did. The only thing we can do is learn from our mistakes, so we make sure we never make them again.” He pulled back and brushed a strand of hair out of your face. “And make amends to the people we’ve hurt along the way.”

You sniffled, hearing what he was saying, but not knowing how it could work for you. “But how do I make amends to a dead girl, Bucky?”

“By making sure she’s the last one they ever hurt,” he said resolutely, as if he had all the faith in the world in your ability to stop this trafficking scheme. “By not giving them an opportunity to hurt anyone else like they hurt her.”

You used the sleeve of Sam’s sweatshirt to wipe away some of the snot that was unattractively running down your nose. You’d have to make sure you washed it before you got it back to him.

“Okay,” you said, feeling a new sense of resolve blanket over you. You couldn’t absolve yourself from what you’d done, but you could make amends, and that gave you hope that one day, you might be able to forgive yourself. And then, if you could eventually learn to forgive yourself for this, did that mean that one day, you could forgive Bucky, too?

You shook the thought from your head, not wanting to let your emotions for him cloud your need to see this mission through to the end. “Well then,” you told him instead, “we better get to work.”

Tell me everything you hate about Leon Kennedy so I can agree

Careful, anon, or you'll make me fall in love with you

The things I don't hate about Leon would make a shorter list and my instinct is to give you a jokey answer, but you seem genuinely curious of Leon's faults as a character so I'll do my best to explain it:

Obligatory "just because a character sucks doesn't mean you have to hate them, and I'm not saying people can't like Leon, I'm simply expressing why I personally don't" statement for those with no reading comprehension <3

My biggest reason for hating him is the misogyny. Leon's most prominent trait is his continued misogyny. And while this previously was brushed off as "the writing of the time" in which the games/CG movies were released, that is no longer an excuse, because 1. Leon is still being written as a misogynist, just in a different context, and 2. There are other RE male characters who were never written to be misogynistic, such as Chris Redfield, and there are RE male characters who were originally misogynistic but have been rewritten to no longer be, such as Luis Serra. And of all of the RE male characters who were originally written to be misogynistic, the only character who has maintained that misogyny despite remakes is Leon. This makes it no longer just a reflection of the early 2000's writing, it now becomes a facet of his actual character. And while Leon's misogyny is no longer as blatant and bold as "following a lady's lead just isn't my style", or making demeaning comments on a woman's butt, or scoffing and spitting "women", it is still a part of his character.

Especially in relation to Ada Wong. The way he treats Ada is like a stereotypical reddit incel who experienced one breakup and now hates/disregards all women in his perceived dating pool. Ada never fully revealed who she was to Leon, she never promised him the truth, and she never expressed a want to allow him to see the real her - in fact, she did quite the opposite, constantly trying to push him away. But Leon - being a man who sees a woman in a dangerous situation as someone who needs his help, despite Ada saving his ass multiple times - sticks around. And because he knows nothing about her, he starts to create a projection of who he thinks Ada is, based entirely on the very minimal and evasive information she has given him. And yes, being lied to by anyone is not fun, especially in the middle of an apocalypse. But Ada made many attempts to get Leon to back off, to leave her be, and yet he in all his macho-heroism insisted on "helping" her, thus forcing himself into her line of work despite her warnings against it. And then, when her lie is revealed, he completely disregards his respect for her, and begins to view her as nothing but an emotionless manipulator. She refuses to shoot him, even though it meant forfeiting her entire mission, and he still actually believes she never cared about him. And when they meet again, his attitude towards her is utterly abrasive, inconsiderate, and cold. What makes this misogyny however, rather than just Leon being an asshole, is that we have another character in the same game who Leon used to admire and whose identity is revealed to be something Leon is morally against: Major Krauser. And yet, Leon entirely maintains his respect for, and his consideration for the feelings of, Krauser. Ada Wong was a mercenary who lied to Leon to keep her cover. Krauser was a war criminal who kidnapped the president's daughter, which brought Leon into this mess, and then murdered Luis right in front of Leon. And Leon has a very no-nuance, naïve, black and white view of morals prior to and throughout re4r, so if his vitriol for Ada was truly about conflicting morals, that would be reflected in how he treats Krauser, too. However, Leon maintains his respect for Krauser. Leon appeals to Krauser's honour, to Krauser's emotions. Leon actively tries to sympathise with Krauser in an effort to rationalise Krauser's actions in Leon's mind. And yet it is Ada Wong, who has saved his life countless times, who has shown him she cares, and who has helped him at no cost, who receives his ire; rather than Krauser, who couldn't care less about Leon and his predicament. This kind of misogyny is especially infuriating to me because Leon's actions are portrayed as Just™, he is still portrayed as the Correct Hero™, and the fans ignore his misogyny just as easily as the narrative itself does.

I don't hate Leon just because he's a misogynist; there's too many of those in media to hate them all for that. I hate him because his misogyny is made to be a quality of his character, and is never punished by the narrative nor is he ever forced to reconcile with it. And what's worse, the way he treats Ada is in turn perpetrated by fans who refuse to acknowledge his misogyny, and thus become little misogynists themselves, tearing into Ada with utter vitriol and no consideration for her as a character.

And obviously, not just Ada. Another modern example is how he treats Claire Redfield in re2r and Infinite Darkness. He sees her as a kid in need of protecting, despite her only being 2 years younger than him, and proving repeatedly that she's more than capable of handling herself. And when she asks when he'll stop treating her like a kid, he says "probably never". (I am strangling him I'm exploding him with my mind). But his misogyny towards Ada is the most significant and reoccurring. She has long been written to serve as the object of Leon's desires, and now that she's been given significant substance, fans hate her for no longer fitting into their own misogynistic ideal of who she should be. But that's another discussion.

There's other things I hate about him, such as his part in modern copoganda, or his arrogance, but the misogyny is the most prominent thing. And I truly admire fans who love Leon while actively acknowledging his misogyny. But to me, he has no other redeeming qualities significant enough to help me get over it.

Sorry that was a lot but if you read this far, I hope I did okay explaining my feelings on this. Thank you for asking <3

MK OC RED ROBIN

Info card remake bc the first one was kinda shit

Real name: Nico Ghai

Age: 19 (sometimes mentally 12)

Height: 5'3" (160 cm)

Species: human/Outworlder

Alignment: chaotic good

Faction: Special Forces

Favourite hobby: going on Sonya's nerves

Spoilers for @mklegends-smokescreen below red more, so you know

Bio (pre Smoke Screen): born to a slave camp while Shao Kahn was still kicking, the boy escaped to a fortress, where he found two mystic daggers which he used to escape said fortress. When he returned, he found nothing but corpses of every man and woman there, including his parents. As he was about to be jumped by a guard, he puts his hands in front of the guard as a means to block and the blades fly through his chest. With this newfound power, he slaughtered every man in that camp and ran away. Soon after, a mage by the name of Dorfen took him under his wing. Teaching him everything he would later learn in life, and most importantly: teaching him that comedy is the best medicine. After several years, the boy learned to control his fire, both figuratively and litteraly), crafted a mask made of a special metal, put together a red, white and black outfit and sew together a cape made of feathers. Giving himself a new name, being Red Robin. With this, he hung around in the market, knocking over criminals and very occasionaly killing a couple. After Shao's death, Kitana has taken up the throne as the new Kahn and hired Robin as protection for the royal house.

(Smoke Screen and beyond) Special Forces, along with Sub Zero and Smoke, walked trough the door, and first thing Robin does is make fun of Kuai fuckin' Liang and almost dies for it. He helps them out with their Black Dragon issue and after it, he he joins the SF as a member of the Kombat Kids™, goes on missions n' shit and hangs out with @cyberneticsanguinaire's Billie any second he can.

Fighting style: Robin doesn't have a direct name for his fighting style, but the main things he does while fighting are to look as sick as possible. Wether its flipping, spinning or sliding, He doesn't care if he needs big damage, he just wants to look cool.

Weapons/abilities: Robin's weapons of choice are his two mystic daggers which he uses for long and close range, as he can throw them and control the direction of the daggers through the air. He can also boost his damage by lighting his blades on fireussing fire magic, passed down by his father. His fire glows green, kind of like Spawn's fire in MK11

[blasphemme]

just finished call of duty black ops. here are some (long, comma abusing, mostly tangentially related) thoughts after playing it for the first time for anyone who might read them!

altogether the campaign was fine, i guess.

as many others have in the past few years following the modern warfare remakes, my online activity has been inundated with thirst edits made of characters in call of duty — despite having never played the games myself. they’re not my thing.

my flatmate, however, has played them. he played them as a kid when they were being released, and he has had the misfortune of being on the receiving end of me watching these edits and reading fanfics (shout out early 351780!!). increasingly annoyed at my thirsting, he has forced me to play every call of duty campaign on the xbox 360.

i’ve found that i actually really enjoy playing cod. it’s enjoyable, action packed and, most importantly, quite compelling. they’re something i’d never have considered playing without him pushing me to play them. i’m more of an assassin’s creed/ace combat/nier girl and always have been. the closest i’d been to playing a shooter before this experience was playing gta, badly.

my flatmate knew my priorities. after an introduction to the premise with world at war — the first game in the black ops series, which i promise i will get to at some point — we played the original modern warfare campaigns first, because i am a wee bit in love with captain john price, and i loved them. the stories, while simple enough to follow (and already knowing about the main character deaths in advance — it’s a 10+ year old series, after all!), were emotionally evocative. i found myself becoming attached to the protagonists quickly and deeply, all the while having a whale of a time fucking around in the rest of the mission. this girl loves just walking onto grenades! between world at war and the modern warfare trilogy of campaigns, i was hooked from the start.

i realise now that i have been spoiled. those campaigns were just too good.

black ops’ campaign pales in comparison to the other four games i’ve played. i will admit that it is still fun — very fun! i enjoyed the feeling of progressing from one badass area to the next, with sam worthington’s horrific american accent and gary oldman’s alright russian accent pushing me through. i also have to admit that i still play like an absolute scrub, but the enjoyment i got from it outweighed the frustration. (mostly.)

black ops lacks the charm and depth i loved in world at war. while fun, every plot twist was spotted as soon as it was hinted to, much to my flatmate’s dismay. it took one guy telling mason to get a hold of himself for me to figure out the twist around reznov, and one recitation of the numbers on the way to the pentagon for me to figure out that mason would go on to kill kennedy. this, in particular, also felt like a bit of a cop-out — having this confirmed in a post-credits scene was disappointing, when i’d gone through the whole game and sat through an eminem song in the credits expecting a sequence where i’d be on the grassy knoll just to end up in a round of zombies. honk shoo.

modern warfare — modern warfare 2 in particular (kevin mckidd’s soap my beloved <3) — introduced new mechanics that’d be used once or twice in the whole game, most of which i enjoyed. the missions where you have to assist tf141 from an ac130 in the first game? stellar. absolutely unmatched. all ghillied up can go fuck itself on a gameplay front though, fuck you if you think i’m gonna figure out what the coriolis effect is. in black ops, the helicopter sequences felt like hate crimes against me personally. poorly designed flight controls and awful combat mechanics combined to make a literally unplayable pair of missions involving attacking other helicopters that i had to beg my flatmate to complete for me. embarrassing.

this game is utterly us army propaganda. the epic final shot in the campaign after killing dragovich — where suddenly 3 aircraft carriers are there waiting for you flying star spangled banners, and 8 fighter jets pass overhead — only resulted in making me cringe and laugh in disbelief, where in 2010 it would’ve made young men enlist. world at war at least has the balance of ‘war is cool and we’re the best’ in the pacific segments and ‘war sucks, actually,’ in the eastern front segments. modern warfare, too, falls face first into the latter, and that’s part of what i enjoyed about it.

even the little fun things weren’t as enjoyable. i didn’t have a favourite gun, or a favourite mission. the star cast choices were okay, but nothing to call home about. there wasn’t a ‘production babies’ segment in the credits, and they made me listen to eminem and pink. what the fuck?

altogether, black ops 1 has the worst campaign of the franchise i’ve played so far. next we’re onto black ops 2, which hopefully won’t come with a free personal statement like this one, and which i’ve been told is one of the best games ever made. we’ll see.

3/10

Wake up girlies, it's time to return to the frontline!

Guess who has insomniaaaa! 🤗💕💕

A month of cramps, nausea, increasingly worse insomnia (but a strangely good mood) has lead me down the path once again. I caught wind of some strange "gfl2" thing and after being struck with nostalgia, I grabbed bluestacks and fell into hell once more. I'd deleted gfl off my phone simply because it took too much space but now that it's on my computer, it's become DANGEROUS...! Github and clip studio up front with logistics running forever in the background. Yes, the ideal working experience.

Anyhow, everyone say hello to Contender.

I've been making more progress in these past two days than I had in the entire two months I spent with my new account because I realized how to (partially) Not Be An Idiot. Turns out there's a thing called "anchored construction" and you can get some pretty nice units (eventually) if you realize it exists! Wow! I got the girly and now I'm working on grabbing Carcano because she is pretty but also insane skillz.

Also, there's a discounted gatcha running right now and that means I can finally get over my mental block and spend tokens... I was surprised at how easy it's been to acquire them, so I've just been shilling em out. My dorm was totally bare until now. I'm sorry, everynyan...

As for actual gameplay, I finally made it past 2-6. It might seem like a simple thing to most but I was yet again, being an idiot. I was under the impression that I HAD to have dupes of the girls to dummy link them when I actually was swimming in dummy cores 🤦🏽‍♂️ What's wrong with me... Well, I jumped over that hurdle, blasted through the emergency missions, and am finishing chapter 3. The first parts arent so bad when you learn how to read! 😃😃😃

First eschalon is good, it's the standard one that everyone seems to use to clear the early game. This second one is a WIP mess that I'm readying for night missions. You see, I'm really hurting for half-decent SMGs and rifles, the second one there is kinda lacking in defense/fire power... I wanna create a decent second eschalon and night mission groupie but I gotta figure out what units to invest in. I hope for Carcano soon. She is cute. Also, feel free to berate me for my bad decisions and suggest decent compositions. I am so lacking in SMGs that dont immediately explode (mpk you are so cute but so stupid). I'm currently looking at friend's compositions to figure out what formations work...

In completely different news and only further proving how dense I am, I only recently learned that Girl of the Bakehouse was related to GFL. I've had my eye on Reverse Collapse for a while now since it's a remake (of a remake?! I didnt play the previous one) of a visual novel I played in 2012 or so. The original vn was made in 2009 in like Kirikiri script and I was a young lad very fixated on all things with girls and guns (Gunslinger Girl was and still is a favorite of mine, I would've read it one summer at my Uncle's out on the front porch). There's an english patch now, but back then it was only in Chinese so I had to use text extracting and image translators, looking up the characters as I went. I got a cup of coco and opened up a patched version last night for old times sake. It's clearly a doujin work with those rough edges but it's so damn confident in its presentation you can't not get swept up in the presentation. The sound work make it very immersive. I highly reccomend reading it if you want a solid, emotional war story. Looking at the sepia soaked sketches, down-to-earth narrative, dense wordbuilding and general war otaku sentimentality... It really predicted a lot of my tastes, huh... 😅

Behold, teh wolfguy...

Back to work. Logistics still running. I can and WILL continue being stupid. The nostalgia is really strong, I'm tempted to draw fanart despite the sour memories of the past. Again, please berate me and tell me of your team compositions.

Hi Erika! For your ask game, would you mind if I asked for 2 (since I couldn't choose a fandom 😅)? Could I have headcanons for Sanemi from Demon Slayer and for Gordon from Black Clover, please? Thank you so much, friend!! 💖

Of course you can ask for headcanons from two series, Acacia! And one is from Demon Slayer, thank you!

(Spoilers for the Demon Slayer manga. Nothing big but a mention of future injuries.)

.....

Sanemi Shinazugawa

Realistic Headcanon: When Sanemi is angry, for any reason whatsoever, he asks to go on more missions. An angry Sanemi is a restless Sanemi and he needs to do something! Unless every bone in her body is broken, Sanemi will want to go out on a job. He doesn't care how far he has to travel for a job, he needs to vent by destroying. Alas, the poor demons who Sanemi faces while he's doing a vent mission.

Not realistic but hilarious Headcanon: Sanemi had the worst track record for breaking swords back when he first started. His technique wasn't atrocious per say. But his fighting style has always been very aggressive and the swords he got couldn't take the punishment. He broke so many swords and the poor sword smith assigned to Sanemi was inconsolable at how often they had to make a new blade. Within a couple years though, Sanemi chilled out and his reputation for sword breaking eventually went away.

Heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends Headcanon: Sanemi started a family, some born to him and his wife but also some adopted. And he named his children after each family member that he lost. His mother and siblings have always been in his heart and he wanted to give their names another chance to be used. When the kids are old enough to understand, Sanemi tells the kids where their names came from and asks them to always treasure their names. His mother and siblings are his mother and siblings. His children are his children. They're all distinct individuals but Sanemi wants his kids to feel connected to a family they'll never get a chance to know.

Unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own Headcanon: Sanemi's love for ohagi and sweets in general leads him to opening a wagashi shop when he settles down as a normal citizen. He learns how to make mochi, anko, agar jelly, etc. Learning to use the tool for shaping and decorating the sweets was hard since he lost two fingers, but he managed. He uses his savings from the Corp to buy a little shop space. And he sells sweets until the day he dies. No one who visits the shop can believe that wild looking guy like Sanemi would make the gorgeous mochi and manju that's sold up front.

...

Gordon Agrippa

Realistic Headcanon: Gordon remakes each doll of the Black Bull members. Any little change that they get to their appearance means a brand new doll for Gordon to make. New outfits? New dolls! When Finral dyed his hair? New doll! And Gordon looks forward for the chance to make a new doll. He likes seeing his friends grow and change and making the dolls to reflect that.

Not realistic but hilarious Headcanon: Gordon can't remember ever getting sick. It's not he's got the immune system of the gods. It's that Gordon has some kind of illness amnesia. Whenever Gordon gets sick, even for a small cold, his brain leaves him entirely. He could still function somewhat normally, like get himself water or wash himself, but he will have no recollection of what he did while sick. Gordon gets sick and once he's better, it's like he's lost a day or two from his life. The Black Bulls are understandably weirded out but the Agrippa family is like "ah yeah, runs in the family."

Heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends Headcanon: Has nightmares the of the squad one day dissolving and just forgetting each other. He’s not afraid of being left out. He’s afraid of the whole friend group just not being friends in the future. He understands that everyone is sure to drift apart a little as they grow and establish lives outside of the squad (because for a lot of them their lives are mostly in the squad and it can’t stay they way forever). But he doesn’t want there to be a day when the BB just stop talking to each other entirely. Even when families are started or someone moves away, that they’ll remember each other. It took a while for everyone to fully accept each other, but they’ve become friends. To imagine their lives just moving so far apart and irreversibly… it scares Gordon so much that he wakes up in tears sometimes because that thought haunts his dreams.

Unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own Headcanon: Gordon's palette and stomach are made of iron! He could drink sea water without batting an eye. Spicy wings challenges are no big deal to him. He wouldn't flinch at the darkest, most bitter espresso. And he digests everything like a champ. The only upset stomachs that Gordon has ever gotten were from being nervous. The food he eats never has and never will give him a tummy ache, no siree!

Tasheylu (remake)

(v) a bond, a neutral connection

Chapter 2

The first ray of the day shins through the leaves and onto my peaceful sleeping key (face) which blink open a few moments later and stretch out a little before getting out of my nivi (sleeping hammock) and down the utral (tree) that I now call kelku (home), years ago I have found this large utral (tree) with it's roots standing high which leaves a big enough space under it for storage and if I need to stay under it no matter my size which I call it my mo’ara (gathering place). I give a sigh with a smile as my feet reconnect to the dirt floor and take in the na'rìung (forest) before stepping in my mo’ara (gathering place) to get my Olo'eyktan tsko (clan leader, bow) along with a mauti (fruit) or two.

"Good morning, O'ziteh." I smiled as I greeted my Prolemuris friend when he jumped onto my back when I step out, I give him a few pats and give him a mauti (fruit). While looking for a new kelku (home, house) I had found him injured as he was just a 'eveng (child) like me so I helped him zoslu (heal, become well, get fixed) and we've been friends ever since.

"Za’u (come) on, we have to gather more mauti (fruit) today." After making sure that O'ziteh won't zup (fall) off easily I take off running in a random direction, leaves brush my skin as I speed through the na'rìung (forest) barely leaving footprint behind with how fast I can go. Soon a cliff appears in the distance of my sight and without slowing down I jump off it's edge with a excited shout, my front lands on a giant leaf which I slide off of onto another one untill my feet reconnect with the ground which I close my menari (eyes) as I take in air for a few moments before walking.

"Shit" A curse falls from the lips of a twenty-five year old male with short shaggy dark brown hair, pale skin, and lime green eyes as the ship he's piloting jerks as it's hit from a blast by the others ships that are chasing it for a while now, his hand reaches out to the console and press one of the many buttons.

"General this is Valerian, the mission was a set up...." But before he could give his location there's a sudden boom causing the call to end and make the ship jerk again but this time much harder, Valerian yelps as he's thrown forward but luckily the seat belt holds him to the seat.

"Sir one of the boosters are gone while the other is failing, I can't take anymore hits." A female rings out from the ships AI named Alex making Valerian to look over his shoulder to see wires hanging from the ceiling where panels had fallen off, with quick thinking he decided something that might kill or save him but he knows that if he doesn't do it he's still a dead man.

"Alex lock on the nearest planet and warp there." Valerian let his hand slip off of the control stick as he leans back into his seat with closed eyes, accepting any fate that waits him.

"But sir!" Although Alex is just the ships AI she still sound worried for her pilot.

"Alex, I know but still do it." Memories of a woman with long dirty blond hair although her eyebrows are a brown color, pale, hazel eye color appears behind his eye lids.

"Of course." Alex's voice fades as deafness fills he ears as he ignores the sounds of the blasting.

"Valerian?" He hears from the co-pilot seat which he slowly opens his eyes to look over to see the same woman sitting there but she's transparent as she smiles.

"What are you doing?" She asked as she frown with worry covering her words.

"Laureline, I'm sorry for everything." He whispered with sadness as he closes his eyes again knowing she isn't there, the ship jerks and began vibrating as the ship warps but only to fall out of it mid way. He looks out the windshield to see that a moon of a large planet is pull the ship into it's orbit which causes the ship to jerk allover the place, he shuts his eyes tightly as he grips the seat belt with everything he has.

CCOONN BBOOMM

My re’o (head) snaps up from my task of collecting utumauti (banana fruit) at the sound of a kxangangang (boom) as the ground below me shakes from it before it does with the hurrying feet of animals running from the source of it which I heard before seeing them flee pass me and farther into the na'rìung (forest), O'ziteh is screeching while bouncing around the trees in fright.

"Take these kelku (home, house) quickly." I urge O'ziteh to take what I have collected so far in my basket back to my Kelutral (Hometree), making sure he does before picking up my Olo'eyktan tako (clan leader bow) from the na'rìung (forest), floor and swiftly jog to the source of the kxangangang (boom). Soon I'm peering around the utral (tree) I'm hiding behind to see a odd circular object sticking out of the ground which I can see that it had fallen form the taw (sky) by the destruction it had left behind through the na'rìung (forest) has it had fallen, I watch closely with an swizaw (arrow) notched in caution as it's side pops open and comes out a small creature stumbling out.

"Tawtute (sky person)" I hissed to myself in anger and pulled the swizaw (arrow) back tightly when finally seeing the creature's features all intent in killing the small ioang (animal, beast) but before I could release the swizaw (arrow) a atokirina (woodsprite) floated down from the air and sits on the tip of the swizaw (arrow) settling my boiling anger at seeing the sign from Eywa, I reluctantly lower my tako (bow) when the atokirina (woodsprite) float away right as a palulutkan stock out of the utral (tree) line with the taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast) unaware of it as it inspect at the metal thing it come out of. The taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast) jumps back a little and pulled out a strang object from its pouch when the palulutkan stroll around the circular thing, it hissed at the sky person ready to pounce. With a hiss, scowl, and a eye roll I leap from my hiding spot to zung (crouch) in front the taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast) to protect it from the palulutkan with my knife out and my kxetse (tail) swaying behind me.

"Go find something else to eat." I hissed loudly at the palulutkan causing it to roared back at me before strolling off into the utral (tree) line, at seeing I won't back down and it's too lazy today to fight. My guard lowers at seeing the ioang (animal, beast) disappeared through the utral (tree) line which I slip my knife back into its sheath on my woven tewng (loincloth) before turning to the taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast) with narrow eyes and a scowl.

"Hurt?" I asked relectantly as Eway had stopped me from killing the taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast) earlier which I guess she has plans for him, the taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast) is shocked that I can speck his language although broken since I only know a few words that I was taught by my parents.

"Fine, I'm fine and thanks for the save, what's your name?" I can see some type of clear thing over his face to help him breathe air and I almost missed it if it wasn't for the certain streak of light didn't reflect off of it.

"You don't deserve my name, taw (sky) ioang (animal, beast)!" I hissed at him before jogging off which he quickly ran after me.

"Hey! Wait!"
