Summery: While the Animorphs travel space looking for Ax, there's some trouble on earth...Can Jordan, Sarah, David, Karen, and the others save the world the way the Animorphs did? Or will all of the Animorphs' hard work be for nothing but to see earth crumble under a force even worse than the Yeerks.....

Sarah's POV

"Sarah? Is that you?" a voice whispered.

"Ah!" I cried, as I jumped up, "who's there? I was sleeping!"

"Look at the screen!"

I looked, and to both my horror and joy, I saw Jake on the screen.

"Jake!" I cried, how did you log on? Nobody's heard from you in months! Everyone thinks that you're dead!"

"I can explain, but there's no time now! They're after us!"

"Who's after you?" I demanded.

"I don't have time! Just listen to what I say, and listen carefully: something's coming, there's trouble on earth."

"But I thought the Yeerks left."

"They did, but we have a new crisis at stand. We don't know what it is, but you have to stop it."

"What do you mean? How?"

"We don't know the details, we've haven't even been able to get through."

"Why not?" I asked.

"It's coming! Gotta go, we'll send another message later!"

The screen flickered and went dark.

"Jordan! Jor-DAN!" I shouted.

"What?" a fifteen-year-old girl with her hair in pigtails, and a white rat on her shoulder came downstairs.

"Jake-h-he...he-"

"Don't be stupid, Jake's dead."

"No he's not!"

((What do you mean?))

"I-I fell asleep on the couch while watching TV. And Jake somehow got ahold of it, an-and he told me something was happening here on earth."

The rat rolled his eyes. ((Is this like the time when you swore your teddy bear talked to you?))

"Shut up, David!" I yelled. "No...h-he was there! I promise you!"

((Yeah right.))

"WATCH IT, RAT BOY!" I said dangerously.

But David just laughed. ((You're just like your sister. Rachel always talked like that. You better watch it, Blondie, or you'll end up the same way she did.))

I clenched my hands into fists. "You're just glad we took you in! No one else wanted you, but we gave you a home, and this is how you repay us. You try to kill my sister and her friends, and this is how you repay us? You're just lucky we didn't call the extermanator!"

((Not true! I didn't need this! I could've done just fine by myself! After all, he gave me an andalite lifespan! That's 200 years!))

"200 years, as a rat!" Jordan muttered.

David tried to nip at her, but she just grabbed him by the tail. "Nobody wanted you. Not even the Crayak, not even your parents I bet, and we took you in when no one else would. I sugguest that you treat us with respect."

Gave gave her a murderous look-or as much of a murderous look that a rat can give. But he said nothing more.

"Can we just focus at the issue at hand?" I asked. "Earth's in trouble. And we need to do something!"

"Look," Jordan sighed "if you did see Jake-Which Im not saying you did-then what could we possibly do to make a difference? I mean, at least the Animorphs have the morphing power, but we have nothing."

"Maybe...maybe not..." a voice said. His face appeared on the special video watch, Ax had made for us beforehad was kidnapped.

"Marco?!" we both said in chorus.

"Polo!" he laughed. Jordan laughed hysterically, while David and I exchanged looks. Jordan had a crush on Marco from the time she was only seven, before the Animorphs.

"So....uh....umm.....Marco.....how's it going, you know....um...traveling the galaxies and stuff?" Jordan asked betting her eyelashes.

"It's cool. Lots of space outside."

Once again, Jordan broke into insane laughter. "That's a good one! Space outside...because....because, you're in outter space!"

I rolled my eyes. David made a gagging sound in private though-speech. We both giggled.

"So...Marco....um....like when you get back to earth....will you like need a d-"

"Ooookaay," I said loudly, pushing in front of my sister. "Nice to see you too. Now, um...what was it Jake said earlier about earth being in danger?"

The smile drained from Marco's face. "Oh...yeah...about that....well...." he sighed, "that's a long story......"

So he bagan to tell us of the tragic tale...
