Qlippoth (Abraxas) rated Teen And Up

The story starts many years after the RDA was kicked out of Pandora by the Toruk Makto (the 1990s). The RDA is itching to return, however. Jake and Neytiri are living on Earth as human avatars. Spider lives with the Sullys more or less and is dating Neteyam. Meanwhile, the mangkwans, lead by Varang, are looking for Spider....
