Pennies of Pandora

[17JosephLC]

Joseph Collins was feeling frankly terrified. He had used to be a hunter of the armored whales of Pandora, working for the RDA. But the peoples and governments of Earth, thanks to the never-sufficiently-damned Sully family and their resistance, had learned about all the thing the megacorporation had been doing and had come down on them hard.

Almost all of the leaders and employees of a certain level had been arrested and quickly tried in open-and-shut cases. In an effort to make amends to the Na'vi, the governments of Earth had agreed to make these new Pennies go through their cycles in the care of the Na'vi tribes.

Joseph had been sentenced to 10x10-15, all of them hard time with no chance of parole, for the murder of sentient beings. As though those up-jumped whales were really sentient beings like Humans!

Joseph was with another boy who was going to be raised by the Metkayina clan. He had also undergone, as part of his rejuvenation, a gene-theropy that had mutated his digestive and respiratory systems, allowing him to breath Pandoran air without difficulty, as well as eat the native food.

The new Hard Time Penny wore only a cheep wetsuit, which probably wouldn’t last long once they were dropped off at the Metkayina village where their new mothers would pick them up. He glanced over at his fellow hunter as the boat got closer and closer to their destination…

Kevin Bailey was the other hunter sentenced to rejuvenation with the Metkayina people together with Joseph. He had short, brown hair and ocean blue eyes, that were now flicking nervously around him as the boat had stopped. He looked at Joseph and gave a small smile and nod to hide that he too, was very nervous. " You know...this is gonna suck...I bet it`s gonna be worse than jail time. I hope they won`t be too cruel to us..." he said softly, shivering as two Na`vi females appeared in front of them. " H-hello. I`m Kevin." the brunette stuttered nervously.

Kaida folded her strong arms over her chest and looked over at her close friend. Both of the Metkayina females had two Sky People boys to take into their care. While Kaida had naturally seen humans as enemies when they had been invading Pandora. She still thought the humans means of making amends were interesting, if nothing else. " How do you think this will go?" the huntress asked the female next to her as they walked to meet the two humans. She tried to look as non-threatening as she could, seeing how nervous they were. " Hi there, what`s your name." she said in a soft tone of voice to the shortest of them.

“I know,” Joey agreed with Kevin, having worked with him for a little bit before… everything happened. He wiggled in his seat on the bed; part of the rejuvination ritual transformed all the lost mass of their adult bodies into body fat, placed snuggly in between the small of his back and his thighs… in other words, he had an unusually large, plump, well-rounded bubble-butt; perfect for absorbing long, hard, regular spankings. “It’s gonna hurt so much,” he whined.

Then they landed on the small islet they would meet the Na'vi on. They were herded out of the boat and made to stand as they waited for their new mothers. Once they arrived, Joseph looked up… and up at the woman whom came up to him. God, he was 10-years-old, but he barely half as tall as she was! “Hi,” he nervously squeaked out. “I-I’m Joseph.”

Meytara, one of the huntresses of the Metkayina Clan. She, as well as the other new “Penny” mothers had agreed to meet the Sky People at Three Brothers Rocks, and had come mounted on ilu to show their peaceful intentions.

“I think this will go well, assuming the Human Clans are sincere,” Meytara told Kaida. She then looked down at her own boy. “Greetings, little one. Tell Sa'nu your name,” she ordered.

[Mjølner]

Kevin gulped a bit and sighed heavily. Like Joey, his body had also changed quite a bit. He had naturally shrunk in size, but also had a well-rounded rear end and shorter legs than before. " Yeah, it will probably be awful...I hope we won`t suffer too badly..." he joined his previous colleague and friends whining before meeting the two Na`vi females. The brunette gasped at the sizes of them. They towered over both him and Joseph. He rubbed at his right arm with his left one, which was a habit he had when he was nervous. " My name is Kevin. What is your name?" he said softly, finally being able to look up at Meytara with his blue eyes.

Kaida nodded in agreement with Meytara. " I hope so, too. They are quite cute, aren`t they?" the huntress quipped, chuckling softly. " Hello, Joseph. It`s nice to meet you. My name is Meytara." she stated giving him a nod as she acknowledged him. " You are however to adress me as Sa'nu, is that understood?" the tall, strong female asked the nervous little human boy in front of her. She wouldn`t take any fussing at the moment.

“Their hands are so big, they might as well be paddles,” Joey whined, looking fearfully up at the greenish-blue skinned giantesses. “Y-yes, um, Sa'nu,” he nodded, having a good grasp of Na'vi. It sounded like sn'nuk, which meant mother. Was this a different version of the word? “So… um… are-are we really gonna ride on those animals, ma-er, Sa'nu,” he asked? Animals made him nervous…

“My name is Meytara, young one. But you are to call me Sa'nu, fo you understand?” When he communicated his affirmation, she asked, “are you ready to go now, little one? Wr have a long ride ahead until we get to the village. Don’t worry; we’ll be riding slowly, so we can make sure you don’t fall off,” she told him.

[Mjølner]

Kaida nodded, giving the boy in her charge a small smile. " That`s a good boy." she said in a soft praise to Joseph. " Yes, of course. We are riding back to the village, after all." the huntress stated and gently lifted the boy and herself up to sit. She tucked Joseph close to her as she could sense that he was nervous. " Sshh...Don`t worry, little one. We won`t fall off. I`ll keep us safe." the female whispered softly to the boy.

" Yes ma`am...I-I mean Sa'nu." Kevin stuttered, as he was still nervous about this whole ordeal. " Yes, Sa'nu. I am. Are you sure I won`t get hurt riding that creature, though? I`m not as big or strong as you, after all." he said softly, while leaning in towards Meytara and clinging to her a bit. " You`re very warm." the boy said in a soft tone of voice to his new guardian.

[17JosephLC]

Joseph smiled a little as he was praised, and found himself cuddling into the blue woman’s embrace as she picked him up. He was so small compared to her. He was 10, but he felt more like a five-year-old! As they approached the ilu, Joey whimpered and hid his face into her chest, feeling scared of the animal.

“Of course you won’t, little one,” she told him, hugging him close. She slowly carried him over to her own ilu, mounting it and making the bond. “I shall hold you close to me, so that way you will be in no danger of falling. Trust in Sa'nu, alright?”

[Mjølner]

Kaida couldn`t help but chuckle when her new charge was getting nervous from the ilu. She made the bond with it and guided it to gently move towards the location of their village. " Sshh now, sweetie. It`ll be alright. You don`t have to be scared. It`s friendly, it won`t harm you. Sa`nu will protect you." she cooed softly to Joseph, gently rocking him to calm him. She also gave his backside gentle pats to calm him. " Just be a good boy for me, ok?" the huntress said softly.

" Are you sure, Sa`nu? It won`t eat me, right? It`s twice as big as me." Kevin continued to fret and gave a gasp as himself and his guardian had mounted the ilu. " Yes, Sa`nu. Thank you...I`m sorry for being nervous and all. This is just all so new to me, you see..." the now meek boy said in a soft tone of voice to Meytara, clinging and rest close to her as they moved. " You`re surprisingly warm, by the way. It`s comfortable to be near you." the boy stated in a soft tone of voice, blushing after having spoken.

[17JosephLC]

Joseph whimpered as he tried to hide in his new mother’s embrace. “A-animals are scary, Sa'nu. Especially big ones! They could gobble me right up! And-and it’s got lots of sharp teeth,” he told her. The pats to his bum only made him more nervous, as he knew he would get a welcome home spanking when they got to the village. But he did calm as he was rocked in her arms. “O-okay, Sa'nu.”

“Of course he won’t eat you, little one,” Meytara told him, cooing gently. “He loves to play with the children in the village. And from his perspective… you look enough like a little Na'vi. A new friend to play with and get treats from, not like a snack.

“And it’s alright to be nervous, my dear. But know that Sa'nu will protect you, okay?” So saying, she held the small child close to her as they rode home. Normally, she would be nervous; riding on the open ocean with only an ilu was not often considered wise, but the hunters on their skimwings had driven away any threats within a nautical mile.

[Mjølner]

Kaida continued to gently rock Joseph when the boy clung to her and spoke more about how scary the wildlife of Pandora was. " Sshh...sshh...That`s what Sa`nu is here for, sweetie. I`m going to protect you, ok? Nothing or no one will harm you when you`re in my care, so just relax, ok?" the tall alien female said in a tender, soft tone. She felt a soft spot for the little human already, and wasn`t looking forward to having to spank him when they reached their village.

" Are you sure, Sa`nu? I mean...I`m not exactly the same color as you Na`vis...and I`ll never be as tall as you, either. Are you sure that I won`t get eaten?" Kevin continued to nervously question his new caretaker. He sighed when he heard her talk, nuzzling into her side, since she found her comfy and warm to cuddle up to. " Thanks, Sa`nu. That`s assuring...What`s gonna happen when we reach the village, though? I won`t get hurt there, right?" the boy asked the huntress in a soft tone of voice.
