・゚゚・。 Dom clutched onto the saddle tightly as Neytiri flew past the tall rocks, successfully keeping them out of the enemy's view. Dom silently gasped, seeing the size of the demon ship.

"Ma Jake, what is happening?" Neytiri spoke, using the necklace to reach her husband. Jake said nothing, continuing to slowly move his skimwing closer to the ship. Dom looked at the ship, her lips parting when she saw three na'vi tied up. It was hard to see who they were, but the major height difference suggested that they had Tuk.

"They've got someone tied up. I think Tuk is one." Dom said, Neytiri hissing at the sight. They watched as when Jake got closer, a tulkun leaped onto the ship.

Neytiri and the Metkayina took this as a sign to attack. Dom held on as Neytiri swooped down, firing an arrow at someone on the ship. Now that they were closer, Dom realized Tsireya and Lo'ak were tied up with Tuk.

Dom gasped, feeling a bullet slice her arm. She turned around, eyes wide as she saw her father on an ikran. He grinned as he shot more bullets towards them.

"Neytiri! It's Quaritch!" Dom shouted. Neytiri turned around, gasping in shock at the blood pouring out of the gash on Dom's arm. She began dodging the bullets, calling for help. Seemingly knowing whenever she was in danger, Jake's skimwing lept out of the sea, it's mouth grasping onto Quaritch's ikran.

Neytiri turned sharply, causing Dom to slide off. She screamed as she landed in the water, next to Tsireya and Tuk. The aquatic na'vi helped Dom back to the surface, gasping when she saw the blood.

"Are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

"It's just a gash. I should be fine." Dom replied, biting her tongue as the salt water stung her wound.

Hearing a shout from above, they all looked up. An ikran flew above them, dropping a na'vi onto the ship.

"Kiri!" Tuk yelled, swimming back to the ship.

"Tuk! Wait!" Tsireya shouted, reaching for the girl.

"They have Kiri! Sully's stick together!" The young girl swam off, Dom and Tsireya quick to follow her. Tsireya helped Dom onto the ship, the human girl cradling her injured arm. 

They ran quietly as possible towards Kiri, who was tied to a yellow railing.

"Kiri!" Tuk gasped, rushing over to her sister. Tsireya and Dom jumped over the railing, landing on the opposite side. 

"I don't have my knife." Dom gasped as her hand touched an empty sheath.

"Same." Tsireya agreed, the two girls resorting to pulling on Kiri's restraints. They were so focused on saving Kiri that they paid no mind to the shadow moving towards them. Dom gasped, looking up when she felt a hand grab her arm. She froze when she saw her father, who didn't recognize her until she and Tsireya were falling into the water.

"No! Dominique!" He shouted. Tsireya reached for Dom, pulling her onto the nearby ilu. They swam off as the sky grew darker.

A splash in the water frightened them, but the girls relaxed seeing Lo'ak, Neteyam, and a familiar figure.

"Spider!" Dom shouted, jumping off the ilu to hug her brother.

"Dom! Oh my god your arm!" He gasped, seeing the blood drip from the gash. Ignoring his concern, Dom hugged her brother tighter.

"I thought you were dead." She whispered, overjoyed at the fact that he was not. Spider hugged her tight, resting his head on his little sister's shoulder.

"Bro you okay?" Lo'ak asked, catching Dom's attention. She gasped, seeing Neteyam holding his chest.

"I've been shot."

Everything seemed to move in slow motion for Dom. Lo'ak and Tsireya helped Neteyam onto the ilu as Spider grabbed her hand.

The ilu swam fast to a rock as Lo'ak called for his father. Jake jumped off his skimwing, running over to assist them in getting Neteyam out of the water. Dom sobbed, cradling Neteyam's head in her lap.

"The bullet didn't go through. Can you take him to your mother?" Jake asked as Neytiri's ikran landed. She jumped off, running over to her son. Neteyam looked around at everyone, breathing deeply.

"I see you." Dom whispered to Neteyam, not noticing Jake ordering Spider to tie a bandage around her arm. Even as Spider did as he was told, her attention was only on Neteyam.

"I see you." He whispered back. Jake moved closer, keeping pressure on his son's wound. "Dad...I-"

"No, don't speak. Save your energy." Jake spoke, cutting him off. Dom watched with tears in her eyes as they moved his body back onto the ilu. "Dom go with them. Ronal needs to look at that gash."

Dom sat still, everything around her becoming a blur. Spider brought her back to her feet, helping her walk over to the ilu as Jake turned to Lo'ak, wanting to know where Kiri and Tuk were.

Tsireya helped Dom sit behind her, Neteyam being on the front of the ilu.

"You better not let that gash kill you!" Spider said, his voice breaking Dom out of her own world.

"I won't. I promise." She smiled weakly at him as Tsireya's ilu swam away, leading them back to the village.
