My name is Tim.

I can't tell you my last name or where I live, because that will only help the Yeerks find us faster. You see Yeerks are a parasitic species; they crawl into your ear, and wiggle there way thru your ear canal. They move the bones in your ear, and secrete a chemical that dull the pain, then the crawl into your brain, stretching themselves into all the cracks and crevices, and gain total control of your brain. They move your fingers, focus your eyes, talk with your voice, and all the while you're watching, totally helpless. They can access your memories and act just like you, so no one knows you're a controller.

Although now that they've captured more then three fourths of Earth, they don't care about secrecy anymore.

You see, in the beginning, the Yeerks were all about secrecy, they used a front organization, called the sharing, to recruit willing controllers. But within time the Yeerks have gone to a full-blown invasion. Of course that was after a group of kids, who called themselves the Animorphs, were killed in a mission to protect Earth.

They were on a mission to kill Visser Three, the leader of the invasion, but the only way was to sacrifice there lives while they did it.

Of course after the Visser's death the invasion became very hectic, a lot of controllers were freed from their enslavement because the Yeerks were starved from kandrona rays. But of course, a new Visser came to earth to take charge of the invasion.

Now Visser one is in charge, and worst of all he has an Andalite body, but I'll get to that later.

Well I guess everything started, when I had to go above ground to get food for me and my friends.
