The following is my fanfiction based on the Animorphs. I am in no way affiliated with either K. A. Applegate nor Scholastic. The story is for entertainment only and I do not claim to own the characters of the Chee or the Yeerks.
THE IRONY
My name is Esin Two-Seven-Four. I was preparing to enter a new human host. They said she was voluntary and I looking forward to infesting her. It would a so pleasant not to be plagued with curses and resistance. When she was ready, I swam to the peer. My sonar found her head and then her ear canal. I stuck in my feelers and began to push my way in.
Something was wrong. The canal felt, well it felt strange. Not as warm as usual. Getting through was just a little easier than it should have been. Maybe this human had a wider than average ear canal. There are little genetic quirks like that in nature.
I crawled through, releasing toxins to dilate and numb the canal. Past the eardrum, past the bones of the middle ear (something was wrong with them too,) past the cochlea, and on. When I found the brain and tapped the memories, all questions about the trip would be answered.
Finally, I came to a my destination. There they were. The groves and valleys of the human brain. The normal currents of electricity. I spread and stretched my over it. Pushed my body into the cracks and crannies. Strange, I felt no connection yet. Then something looped around my body. Something else. A third thing. I was being wrapped by wires!
I tried to pull out. To slip away before I was trapped. It didn't work. The brain was holding me in! No, this was no brain. When the long awaited connection happened, it wasn't initiated by me. My mind was probed. My mind! I could sense no memories nor anything else. The host, however, was looking into me. All the while, wires where trapping me.
Do not be frightened. came the voice.
What? Who are you? What are you?
I am a Chee. As you know by now, I am not human. I am not even a biological life form. You are inside an android.
Why? What are you doing to me?
Do not be afraid. I won't hurt you. It is impossible for me to physically hurt any living thing.
Then let me go! I'll die in three days if you don't.
No, I will produce Kandora rays for you. The system of wires will provide nutrients. I must keep you until earth and its life forms are safe. We will help the Andalites until the Yeerks are no longer a threat.
You! A servant of the Andalites?
Not a servant. An ally.
She said nothing else. Paid little attention to my cries. Continued to search my mind. I was helpless. Then I realized how things had been twisted.
When a Yeerk enters a host, the host is trapped. Trapped within its own body. It can do nothing while the Yeerk searches through its mind. Most Yeerks ignore their host's cries.
Now here I was. I was trapped. The host had me. She searched my memories and I couldn't stop her. The host the master. I was a slave. Now, the Yeerk was trapped within the host's head. Is this what it is like for Controllers? Of course, it must be.
I don't know how long that was. A couple earth weeks maybe. I have no concept of time. Every
now and then I'm given information, even a glimpse of the world. Usually, however, I'm sealed away inside my host. If I every get out, I will never take an involuntary host again. I may become a member of the Peace Movement. Perhaps I will have a chance to keep that promise someday. For now, I am in the control of my host.
The irony.
