Disclaimer: Yeah, right. Like I really own Animorphs or Teamo Supremo. The very idea is preposterous.
This story is a Teamo Supremo/Animorphs crossover. It takes place when the members of Teamo Supremo are sophomores in high school. They haven't fought any of their villains since they were in seventh grade, because they have all either died or retired from villainy. The main couple is Crandall/Brenda, but there will also be a little bit of Jake/Cassie and Rachel/Tobias. I made up the last names for Brenda, Crandall, and Hector.
Brenda's Betrayal
Prologue: InfestationBrenda Hancock stood outside of the building that used to be the state's First United Methodist Church; the once-abandoned building had recently been renovated and transformed into the state headquarters of The Sharing, a nationwide, family-oriented program similar to Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts but for everyone instead of just children. Brenda had heard some of the kids in her science class discussing the weekly meetings and numerous volunteer projects that the group had done since The Sharing began three months ago. One of Brenda's good friends, Molly, was a member. Molly told Brenda stories of playing pool and foosball with the "full members", who all tried to make everyone as comfortable as possible.
Taking a deep breath to calm the instinctive feeling of walking into a trap, Brenda entered the building to see what it was all about. She came in just in time to catch the opening statements of the speaker. The young man told his story, speaking about his lonely and abusive childhood. He then told everyone about how becoming a full member changed his entire life. He urged everyone in the room to apply for full membership, reminding them that it was no charge. Brenda was so impressed by this young man that she immediately walked toward the membership table and promptly wrote her name down. The woman behind the table handed her a membership form, which she hurriedly filled out. As soon as she handed the form back to the woman, she was led to a back room.
"Hello, Brenda. I see that this is your first visit here. Why are you suddenly interested in becoming a full member?" the same young man who had spoken earlier asked her.
"Well, I just think that it's time for a change. I'd like to help with your volunteer effort, and make some new friends."
"In that case, Brenda, you've come to the right place. Now, I'm going to show you something, all right? It's just a little test to make sure you're cut out to be a full member." The young man walked over to a small whirlpool tub, which Brenda could now see was filled with a steely-gray sludge. The boy stuck a hand into the muck and pulled out a fat slug-like creature, with no visible eyes or mouth.
"This," the boy said, "is a Yeerk. In order to become a full member, you must let this Yeerk be put into your ear for a few moments. It won't hurt; that is, unless you make us force you."
Brenda gulped heavily, then nodded. She turned her head, tucking her long purple hair behind her ear to expose the canal.
The boy, whose name was Tom, placed the front end of the Yeerk next to Brenda's ear. She could feel the cold, slimy creature begin to crawl into her ear canal. She could hear Tom cackle wickedly as she realized that she was making a terrible mistake. She tried to stand, but was caught from behind by a strong pair of arms. Suddenly, a sharp pain entered her arm, and she knew no more.

Okay, that took an unexpected turn there at the end. But that is what writing is all about, right? Anyway, I hope you all liked the prologue. The next chapter will again focus on Brenda. It'll be another short one, because it's just about her feelings and emotions as she awakes and realizes she no longer has any control over her own body. As the story continues, I'll be switching back and forth between Brenda's narration from inside her mind, and third person.
R/R!!!! TTFN!
