The True Story of the Yeerk Invasion

by EscapedAnonymous

Trust me. You need to read this. For the sake of the human race. I was a controller, and now I'm free, on the run, and trying to start a resistance to the Yeerk invasion. Read this, and help. For humanity.

1. Chapter 1

Hi. I'm Nick Scott. I'm 26, I lived in New York, and now I'm on the run. Protecting my identity doesn't matter anymore. I probably only have a half hour until….well, I just need to be brief.

Here's what you need to know. I targeted you specifically because you already know a large part of the truth. For a moment, ignore the fact that this is a fiction website, because what I'm about to tell you is very, very real.

The Yeerks are here. Applegate, the author of the "Animorphs" books, is a controller. I was, too. But late one recent night 'I' rolled my car off a mountain road, and down a steep embankment, hidden by trees. I was trapped with a broken arm and probably multiple fractures, and that was what saved me. Thanks to my immobility, "my" Yeerk slowly starved to death as I nearly did the same, with only 2 water bottles and a pack of Skittles in the car. Having a Yeerk die inside of your head is…terrible. Horrible. I can't sleep more than an hour at night anymore because of the dreams. But after 5 (6?) days, I guess I was reported as missing, and some firemen pulled me out. One of them was a controller, but I escaped him…now I'm free, and that's all I need.

I've only just read the first and last "Animorphs" books, so I can't be too specific about what you fans of the series have read, but most of what was in the first book I believe to be true. I'll do some more research if I get out alive. But here's the main thing – the last book, all lies. The "Animorphs" are dead; the Yeerks are still alive, slowly taking over the planet. And right now they're hunting me, one of the few free humans who know. There is virtually no Earthly resistance to the Yeerks. Or hope, unless we resist.

That is what I intend to do. Somewhere in the US is the Escafil device. The Yeerks don't have it; the Yeerks never had it, and it was hidden in the wilderness by the "Animorphs." Where, I'm not exactly certain, but I need it, the free humans need it. There is little other way to fight back. You know what it looks like as well as I do. Somehow, some way, it needs to be found, because with that technology we have a chance. They are arrogant. But if free humans can find the device, and form a resistance, then there may be

I hear them at the door, I have to run
