The Last Laugh
By: Andalite Girl
Visser 3 snapped his tail and the blade hit me again in the arm. "HHHAAARRROOOWW!" I screamed pure gorilla. Just as he drew back for another strike I reached over and grabbed his right fore leg and squeezed. The bone shattered like china under my hand.
Now it was the Visser's turn to scream.
With my other hand I grabbed his neck. Soon it would be over, as soon as this monster died I could…
The pain came out of nowhere. Liquid fire danced across my chest. Stunned I looked down and saw the tail-blade, covered with blood, withdraw.
Blood. So much blood. All around me, choking me, I was smothering in it. My limbs were going numb, it was like all the blood from my arms and legs was pouring out onto the floor.
Dimly I heard Visser 3 call for a doctor. He wanted me alive so he could have me infested. It would be a great victory. The last Animorph. Too late now I was dying… It was better to die then become a controller anyway.
Things danced before my eyes now, the visions that came before death. I saw Rachel like she was standing right before me bold, beautiful and brave. She was the first one to go. Oh yes, even brave Rachel couldn't stand torture for very long. She told Visser 3 everything before he allowed her to die.
Jake, my main man, was next. Captured by Tom on the way to school. Then Cassie and Tobias at once, Finally the Ax-man was taken just yesterday.
All controllers.
I was the last one left so I came here to do something, anything to help my remaining friends. Sure, I met up with Visser 3 but I accomplished something first.
< Visser, > I gasped.
< Are you going to beg for mercy? It won't work! >
With the last of my strength I shook my gorilla head. < I have a surprise for you. >
Visser 3 limped a step backward. < What!?>
< I freed the others. >
Then I started to laugh. I had long ago chosen to think of life as a big joke and to laugh through the hard parts. So I laughed and laughed and laughed as the word grew dark and silent around me.
