Aleyx was returning to his tribe along with his fellow hunters, they had left the Omaticaya clan an hour ago, however, there were still a few minutes of riding left to reach the Subaiya clan, Aleyx had a fixed plan now that he was in Pandora, and that was to start taming creatures, creatures that he could use to empower and at the same time defend his tribe.
The tribes of Pandora did not have overpopulation problems, as the Na'Vi have perfect control of their environment, and what Eywa had to offer, resulting in no overpopulation of a tribe so as not to overexploit the local fauna.
An act that showed how the Na'Vi lived in complete harmony with Pandora, something that humans unfortunately did not know how to do on Earth.
But Aleyx knew that peace would not last, not when humans would keep coming to Pandora, and it was based on that future vision that Aleyx decided to take the path of war, uniting several tribes under the Subaiya clan to create a standing army, one that could hopefully protect Pandora and its inhabitants from greedy humans.
He knows that the tribes would not accept him, at least not if they were not threatened by humans, and Aleyx already had the solution to that problem, which was acceptance with spears and bows.
Aleyx didn't have a deep-rooted love for the Na'Vi, of course, being one he would defend his tribe and his people as hard as he could, but he didn't feel sadness when he saw other Na'Vi die, he didn't know if it was because this was practically a fictional world seen in a movie, and he saw everyone as fictional characters, or that his way of thinking was already like that long before he possessed this body.
In any case, he was determined to make his dream come true.
Just as they passed through a clearing, something peculiar in the dense jungles of Pandora, several gunshots could be heard, which immediately alerted Aleyx and his group.
Giving a first signal, Aleyx ordered his companions to halt their march, while Aleyx climbed up a hill with Fang's help.
Looking from the panoramic view offered by the hill, Aleyx could see how in the distance a group of humans were attacking a Na'Vi tribe, which after inspection he could tell was the Anurai clan, a separate clan that has no relations with its neighbors, who live in a large clearing, a place where thousands of dead animal bones are found, with which they specialize in making toys and musical instruments with these bones.
After observing the situation, and knowing the unpleasant end that this tribe will meet, Aleyx turned to his companions.
"The Anurai clan is being attacked by people from the sky, we have to help them, we can't leave them alone".
"what do you propose? We can't just go, we are few". Replied a hunter, having a very accurate point.
"No, we can't, that's why I'll go and get reinforcements, Eywa will help me, I want you to stay here, and wait for my signal" said Aleyx, and then set off on a run into the dense jungle.
"What's the signal supposed to be? He didn't tell us shit about it," said Kyuna, a hunter, to her companions.
"I don't know, it has to be too big and clear for me to understand it.

Aleyx was following Fang to avoid hitting the branches, since they were going as fast as Fang could go, Aleyx had tasked Fang to search with his incredible sense of smell and hearing for a herd of big boys, who were the only ones who could help them for the moment.
And they didn't have to look too hard, for in front of them was a small herd of Hammerheads, although small would be an understatement, for even though there were only 17 adult Hammerheads and 8 young, their size of 11 meters didn't seem small at all.
When Aleyx approached the herd, the males immediately surrounded the calves, seeing the potential danger Fang posed to the herd.
Aleyx, who knew he didn't have enough time to save the Anurai clan, quickly got off Fang and began to slowly approach the Hammerheads.
"I will not harm you, I am here asking for your help, asking you to serve me, I promise you that after you help me you will be released" 'or at least on the grounds of my tribe' thought Aleyx, feeling an indescribable power come out of his being, a feeling he was already familiar with, but still it did not cease to amaze him.
The Hammerheads were still in a defensive pose, only for one by one to begin to lower their orange and purple feathers, and then sink two of their powerful forelegs in a bow.
"Whatever this gift is, I love it!" exclaimed Aleyx, excited by the situation.
"Let's fight!"

The group of seven warriors who had been accompanying Aleyx all this time were still waiting for the blessed signal, which had yet to be noticed.
It wasn't until they could see from the high point where they stood that a herd of 10 Hammerheads came rushing out of the thick jungle, knocking down trees with their mighty heads, opening a path of demolition towards the Anurai clan.
"Looks like that's our cue," said Kyuna, then began to ride towards the tribe at full speed, being closely followed by the other warriors.

Rai'uk, a warrior of the Anurai clan, was fighting with the few warriors that his tribe had, unlike the other tribes of the jungle of Pandora, the Anurai clan did not stand out for being warriors, although that did not mean that they did not have, since the few that they had, which were baptized as warriors after finishing their ritual.
Which was very similar to that performed by the Omaticaya clan, the big difference was that instead of performing the Tsaheylu with a Banshee, the young warrior did it with a Thanator, which is why the tribe did not have many warriors in their tribe, something they compensated for with the ferocity with which they fought.
However, bows and arrows were at a distinct disadvantage against machine guns and AMP suits, which had already managed to kill half a dozen warriors and their mounts.
And just when Ra'iuk thought they would not be able to defend their home, a great roar sounded from the edge of the jungle, from where he could see several Angtsik, being followed by several warriors mounted on Pa'Li and being led by a Na'Vi who was riding a Thanator.
Seeing this sight, Ra'iuk plucked up his courage and ordered his mount to rejoin the fight.
On the battlefield, the Hammerheads galloped across the field, taking with them every AMP suit in front of them. The suit operators tried to stand up to them, but what could they do against a 30 millimeters bulletproof creature the size of a bus? Exactly nothing, and that proved to be the case when the Hammerheads came through, destroying the AMP suits and killing the humans manning them.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
