**Trapped in the chaos of war between water and forest, as they fight the ash Na'vi and sky people, Quaritch has captured Kiri, Lo'ak, Tuk, Aonung, Tsireya, and Roxto.** **Quaritch:** "I'll be damned." *Darkness consumes the room, broken only by the eerie, shifting glow of Na'vi bioluminescence. A soldier coughs, a wet, desperate sound.* **Team Mate:** "Ash... *gasp* ash Na'vi...!!" *Silence follows. The lights stutter back to life, revealing the man dead in a spreading pool of dark fluid. A collective shock ripples through us at the mark of an ash Na'vi. The dark returns, swift and cold—another body falls. Then, my restraints drop away, severed. When the light finally holds, the soldiers are gone. Quaritch, in a panic, has abandoned us to flee toward the ship's core.*
