Marcel had come across several rock croppings after running most of the day. He was still full of energy even though he was winded. Maybe three of four hours straight dropped his ki a little. Not enough to make him worry. But enough to make his senses kick up. His ability to sense others had kicked up greatly.
Checking the map, he read the name out loud. "Tantalus, that sounds familiar. Oh well." Marcel moved about watching as the rocks levitated about. He could sense a few things in the area. Some strong, some weak. The scouter stopped working so he put it away. "Must be what is making the rocks float. Oh wait, must be some of the metal here!"
Jogging lightly, a few of the locals started to gather. But stayed out of eyesight. Marcel's heart started beating as the number posed a threat. A feral grin appearing on his face at the thought of fighting.
*Thunk!* One of the floating rocks dislodged from a bigger portion up above. It landed not to far from him. Looking up, revealed the ore he was looking for. A quick look around revealed more.
"Well.. aren't I lucky." Moving to a few broken pieces on the ground was the next best thing before going up in the air to collect. Seeing the large clusters in one, a rock was picked up to break it free. 'No reason to reveal my strength yet.'
After about an hour or so, a large amount was gathered. About the size of a small mountain. A Replicator was made in the insides making a few more hidden from sight. Marcel went back to gathering another mound for himself.
"Hup!" A large piece was thrown into one about 20 feet up. "Shit!" Marcel clasped his ears from the pain.
*Ring!* A disruptive sound spread out. Almost harmonic in a way when it echoed. Piece by piece broke apart. Sound waves visible in a way, started shattering the large piece.
Marcel jumped out the way. No sense in staying close at the very large piece coming down. A piece much larger than that floated above was coming down for some reason. A disruptive energy flow caused it.
The locals started to make themselves known. An arrow was shot at Marcel. He dodges it and then the next few firing. Jumping out the way for practice and moving to the pile gave some cover.
"Firing at someone is not very nice!" Marcel yelled over to them. "If I didn't know any better, I think you are trying to steal from me!"
"We are no thieves." A Na'vi said. The firing stopped, but that did not mean it was safe to come out. Only idiots poked their heads out to see. "This is sacred ground! You need to leave!"
"Sure, I will get right on that. Right after I get all that I gathered. I mean, I did mine it after all. Should have said something before I first started. Not like any of you are using it." Marcel would not leave empty handed. In fact, he was gonna make sure he got what he wanted. "As well as whats falling down now!"
With a touch of his finger, the Replicators were making a spear to use. After a split thought, he turned it into a trident.
"You will have nothing and leave!" Another Na'vi said. The voice sounded very aggressive.
"Shit, bet?" Marcel jumped from behind with a fully formed trident. The edges were serrated. In his other hand, was a grenade. 'Can't forget earmuffs.' They formed up protecting him from the next action of his. "Booyah!"
"Get down!" The first Na'vi said. he saw the grenade but ignored the trident. Marcel threw the grenade at a large rock to the side of the gathering of most of them. The Trident went at the one that yelled previously.
*Schlick!* The Trident was thrown with enough force lifting the Na'vi off the ground into the distance.
"Kuk!" Coughing up blood was the last thing they heard from him.
*Kaboom!* The grenade detonated taking out two Na'vi. The others jumped away fast enough. With the speed of cats.
"Arak!" A female Na'vi cried. She was about to run after but felt something grab her tail. "What?!" Marcel grabbed her by the tail and slammed her into the ground. Her body bending obscenely as her back broke sending her bones piercing the organs. It looked like bones anyway.
Analyze: The skeleton of the Na'vi is reinforced with naturally occurring carbon fiber. It protects them but also made it easy to kill them if a strong enough Predator was around. Say a Saiyan that didn't care about killing them.
"Baaah!" Marcel turned to fire an energy beam from his mouth. It burned right through the others who came behind him with spears. "So much fun!" He said with maniac glee.
*Vrroom!* A frequency produced by the Replicators pulled the Trident back to Marcel. it cost way to much energy so he was not going to do that again.
"Dr. Harper!" A Na'vi cried. Another Na'vi spoke pulled out a rifle and started shooting wildly. They would be hit to. "Ah!"
*Tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!* The gunfire made Marcel jumped behind the Na'vi in a guard.

'That is not a lot of damage. Then again, it is after it pierced them.' Marcel was shocked at the low damage. With most of his ki depleted, he thought it would be more. 'No sense in thinking I am invincible. Not normal arrows at all.'
*Schlick!* Marcel spun in an arc killing all of them together. The gunfire made them to startled to move. Afraid of getting hit more.
The Na'vi that got shot, dropped. The Doctor stopped firing looking on in horror. He had given into rage, injuring his friends in the process. Marcel moved about killing the rest leaving only the doctor alive. Such a perfect time to kill. When your enemy dealt with the moral implications of what happened.
"Night night." A blow to the gut with stunning stike to the next gently knocked him out. "Now, who the hell is this guy?"
Marcel caught the doctor and started reading his mind. The Replicators were ordered to gather the other corpses together and the loose metal again. Every now and then, Marcel fired a ki blast at the floating rocks up top. Causing them to come down onto the ones below. He would have enough of the metal for his needs and then some.
The Na'vi was Dr. René Harper. He comes from the Avatar video game. He should be dead, but a User came here a long time ago altering things. Just a small amount from what the man memories suggest. Something with the neighboring planets around this moon.
A User that was flagged by the System as a Traitor User.
Zi: I have checked and the User actually removed a whole planet. Quite a few actually. The Na'vi population has also been increased a lot more. But it is on the other side of the planet. They will not be an issue. But, they are part of that Users forces in a way.
'Take it they are not loyal to the User that left?' Marcel made sure the Doctor was secure. He already knew where the base that had his actual body was located now. As well as the others with him that did not come to this location. A place called Vayaha Village. 'Need to store all this stuff up.'
Zi: Nope. He abandoned them. Taking only a few with. As well as a few of the beast. The name has been redacted from the files. But the signature is still known. As well as where the User went after. What do you plan on doing?
'Absorb some of this metal and build some Replicators to help mine this place out. As for the Doctor here, gonna send him back to the RDA. Along with the others to see what they are willing to trade up with. A little planted evidence to make them fight the Na'vi more can help a lot.' Marcel fired a few more ki blast causing more rocks to fall. 'How are the others doing?'
Zi: Halfway finished with their goals. A lot of fighting with the Na'vi. CaCao is not finding many ore deposits. He found enough to finish the quest only he had.
"Hmm," Marcel hummed looking at all the floating rocks still. 'Send him here. There is just to much for me to get by myself. And the Replicators are going to take a long time to produce.'
Zi: If they were given A.I. it would be faster. But I can see why you do not want to do that. Remote control following key orders is defintely more than enough. I have informed CaCao. He will be there in 5 hours.
System: Quest- Plant two Tree of Might. One completed. Tree has been harvested. 50% complete.
"That was fast." Marcel could feel the Saibman already headed toward him. A thought about improving them faster came to his mind. 'If I take the Pulls I have and give them to the Saibamen, it can make them stronger right?'
Zi: Yes. They can use them to become Companions if they are strong enough. Or if the Pull given to them is strong enough. This will change them from Followers to Companions. With the upgrades you will receive from the one quest, they will receive the upgrades at a cheaper cost.
'Use the Pulls besides the High Pull and Armor Pull. I want those.' Marcel created a bed and took a nap. He was a good bit tired after everything. The last of his ki was used to make another Saibman. 'Night time.'

-Next Day-
.
Marcel slept for a long period. Much longer than he planned. When he woke up, the Saibamen were there guarding the area and mining. Cacao had arrived giving instructions to them. But not the first 5. They stood guard over the area refusing to listen to him.
A quick check revealed why. They had eaten the flesh of a few Na'vi that attacked. Developing a small sense of self. Looking closer at their status let Marcel know why. The Dark Saibamen trait of genetic memory would take a lot more. But with the upgrade coming, it would be even easier for them.
"Might as well give them the others to much on." Marcel tossed out the other dead Na'vi from his inventory. "Eat up." Looking to the Doctor completely subdued still, he was suprised seeing the few RDA pods.
Zi: CaCao did it since you found the large deposit of metal. He felt it would make things easy for you.
"Thanks, CaCao." Marcel yelled as he waved. The cyborg gave a nod and went back to digging.
"Now to bring the doctor and his fellow scientists to the RDA. As well as their Na'vi bodies. But the tech though..." After thinking it over, their was no reason to do all that. Risking some things.
Marcel woke the doctor and the scientists up from their Avatars. They were subdued immediately afterward. The bodies of their Na'vi was fed to the Saibamen as well. The equipment bathed in light as they validated the mission parameters.
Gain Samples of Resources Development Administration or RDA technology: Completed: Rewards: Technology gaps have filled in slightly in Technology level. Reward: Various blueprints.
Acquire Avatar Research: DNA from a Na'vi and from a selected individual. Completed: Rewards: Increase in power of artificial creations, Saibamen are more resilient and have base intelligence, Manifestation of Organic material requires less energy.
"Gigiggi!" The Saibamen start to howl. Light gathered around as the process went through. Marcel pulled out his scouter checking the Power Level increase.
'The first five at 3000, the second five at 2800 and the last one at 2600. Not bad at all. The second group didn't get much fighting in I take it. Oh, a quick to check.' Marcel moved over to the Saibamen one by one. He instantly learned the information from each of them. 'Not a bad way to process information. A slight headache from all that information though. Might as well digest those blueprints to while I am at it.'
As he rubbed his temples to soothe, a few things happened. Furthur Beyond activated twice.
System: Level Up 1x, Further Beyond: +2 to Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma.
System: Defend location from Na'vi.
"Well damn. They picked the wrong time to come here." Marcel looked at the Na'vi coming on the flying mounts. Mountain Banshee's about 30 of them or so. "Keep digging. I need a workout." The others nodded as they watched him float up. "Time to practice some techniques!"
