Advanced Animorphs
Disclaimer: I do not own Animorphs. I do own Eric and Autumn.
Prologue:
My name is Jake. You like most people might ask me what is your last name? Even though I do have a last name I wish I could tell you, but the truth is that I can't. I can't trust anyone. That has been my life ever since we have been fighting this bloody war. You might be asking me Jake, what war are you talking about? Well I'll tell you, I along with my friends, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, Tobias, and Ax are fighting against the Yeerks.
The Yeerks are parasitic alien slugs that slip into creature's brains to make them Controllers. It is because of the Yeerks that I can't tell you my last name. The name for someone that has a Yeerk in their heads is known as a Controller. A Controller can be anyone. Your parents, your teachers, law enforcement officials, your siblings…Trust me my big brother Tom is a Controller.
Luckily we Rachel, Marco, Cassie, Tobias, Ax and I can fight against the Yeerks. How one might ask? It all began one day when my friends minus Ax went into a construction yard. That day changed our lives. You might even know that story, well if you don't, here is the story short, and during that day we met an Andalite Warrior named Elfangor. Andalites are half human, half deer, and part scorpion. They have blue fur all over their bodies. They have four eyes. All Andalites have two regular eyes and the other two were stalk eyes. They have a curved tail shaped like a scorpion with a tail blade. He not only warned us about Yeerks but gave us me, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, and Tobias the power to morph into any animal we touch. Shortly after Elfangor was murdered by the Yeerk leader in charge of the Yeerk invasion of Earth, Visser Three.
Right now I was in a Siberian Tiger morph, my battle morph battling hard against a Hork-Bajir Controller. Hork-Bajir were a peaceful alien race, they looked like seven foot tall tyrannosaurus with spikes everywhere. On their arms, tail, legs, and back. I slashed hard at the Hork-Bajir. The slash took him down.
Jake watch out! Tobias warned me.
Tobias was in his Hawk morph watching the battlefield for more Hork-Bajir Controllers. I turned and saw a Hork-Bajir Controller. I dodged a swipe but he then had his legs knocked out from under him by my best friend Marco whom was in Gorilla morph.
Nice try but King Kong is going to defend our Fearless Leader.
Thanks Marco I called out to him.
You're welcome Jake. Just remember to return the favor.
I saw my cousin Rachel in Grizzly Bear morph roll and take down another Hork-Bajir. Behind me Cassie in wolf morph managed to slash another Hork-Bajir Controller's throat out. The Hork-Bajir fell lifeless. Ax the only Andalite on Earth was slicing and dicing enemy Hork-Bajir Controllers. Soon when most of the Hork-Bajir Controllers were defeated, the others retreated.
Once it was clear, we had demorphed into our human forms. All except for Ax and Tobias who is trapped as a hawk. The Andalite morphing technology was powerful but risky. You see if you spend more than two hours in morph, you become trapped as that animal. Once back in Cassie's barn, we all started to relax.
For three whole weeks we have been engaging the Hork-Bajir Controllers in an attempt to do more damage to the Yeerks so we could have the upper hand. It seemed to have worked but I knew something was wrong when another boy appeared. The boy was Erek the Chee, Chee are a race of peaceful androids. They are our allies and they spy on the Yeerks for us.
"What's up Erek?" I asked watching my friends stiffen up when they saw him.
"Your plan was working but it is not enough" the android said "Each of your morphs are worth five Hork-Bajir Controllers. Your plan could work if you continuously attacked the Yeerks. However we know you can't do that."
"Yeah" Marco said sarcastically "No one can attack the Yeerks every day…No one in our school, but still they lose thirty men in one week."
I sat up "What if we got more Animorphs."
I was rewarded with glares from my friends.
"We tried that once Jake" Rachel snapped at me "Remember David?"
I nodded David was once an Animorph, but he betrayed us. Now he lived his life as a rat.
Prince Jake could be onto something Ax said.
"Don't call me Prince" I said sighing.
Cassie was silent but she agreed with me "Guys, Jake is right; we can't let the Yeerks gain more men than we can kill off."
"But what if they betray us?" Marco asked then he looked at me.
Then we would just have to trap them Ax said "Just as we did to David.
"Not really" I said "Cause I was not talking about our aged kids."
This got my friends looking at me.
Rachel also got it "No way, Jake, you are not talking about college kids or high-school graduates!"
Marco gasped "Please not high school graduates. They're smarter than us. We will the sidekicks! We'll be Robin the Boy Wonder-"
Who is this Robin? Ax wondered and what makes him the Boy wonder? How does he compare to us if we get high-school graduates?
Marco sighed as he slapped his forehead "Ax you have to get started on reading comic books. Robin is Batman's sidekick! He is known as the Boy Wonder cause of the way he and Batman not only get along, but fight the Joker and many other Batman villains. Well I'm telling you Ax, High-School Graduates are smarter than we are! They will be like the main heroes!"
I still don't understand who this Robin is. Nor do I know who this Batman character is.
"Everyone knows who Batman is?" Marco shouted "Batman is the greatest detective he fights super villains like Joker. I mean Batman would make Visser Three poop himself!"
My friends and I had to laugh at Marco's words.
May we get Batman and Robin to help us?
I sighed "No Ax, Batman and Robin are comic book characters. They aren't real."
Then there goes going to them for help. If they are as good as Marco suggest.
Then I grew serious "Come on guys. We need help, and high school graduates are the only way we can do serious damage to the Yeerks."
Rachel then nodded "As much as I hate to admit needing high school graduates to help us, Jake's right. They could put a siege on the Yeerks."
Cassie nodded "Any help can be help. I'm up to it."
I looked at Tobias and he agreed I'm agreeing with you Jake. High School graduates are smart and would definitely put fear into the Yeerks. They have more free times than you do. Ax and I could teach them the ropes.
Ax nodded That would be fun! I've always wanted to play Be the Prince. An Andalite game young Andalites used to play on our home world. So go with it.
"Can we trust them?" Marco asked "I mean most of us humans are being Controlled by the Yeerks. These New Animorphs must not be a Controller and not afraid to sacrifice their lives for the Earth."
I looked at Erek "Do you know of anyone that is Yeerk free?"
Erek the Chee nodded "There was another human that looked like he scene the Yeerks. However he doesn't really know what he saw was a dream or not."
"What is his name?" I asked "And is he Yeerk free?"
Erek nodded "His name is Eric. He is not a Controller. I haven't seen him come to the Sharing. He and another girl are usually together at the juice bar sitting beside each other. The girl he is with is also not a Controller."
I looked at my friends whom nodded as I guess what we were thinking…We had to talk to them and ask them to join us before the Yeerks found them.
I turned to Erek the Chee "Erek are you friends with this Eric?"
The android nodded "Yes, why?
"I want you to ask him to meet me at the juice bar tomorrow."
The android nodded "Count on it."
I looked at my friend "I'll talk to Eric, and try to convince him to join us. The rest of us will wait here."
My friends nodded as we went home for the night.
