Disclaimer: I own nothing, not the ideas of the Andalites or Yeerks or ANY of it, I'm just using the ideas to try and write a finished story, K?
My name is Sam.
That's all I can tell you, and even that's not true. I can't tell you my real first or last name, or where I live, or what school I go to, or what town I live in, none of it. If I did, someone, somehow would find me, and we can't have that, the five of us. That's the last thing we need right now.
The short version is, me and four friends were walking home through a closed carnival, a short-cut home, when my friend Drew saw a shooting star. We all stood there and made a wish...that's when it all went wrong. We soon noticed that the "star" was falling straight for us, and that it wasn't a star at all. We all thought it, but only Murphy, my joker of a best friend, was stupid enough to say it...
"Dude..." he'd said "That thing's a spaceship!"
"Don't be stupid, man, it's -" I was cut off by two more "stars" coming into view, shooting bright yellow beams of energy at the first one. One of the beams hit the first "star" and it was set alight. It was soon upon us, and we ran to hide behind a fortune teller's tent to watch the next events unfold.
The spaceship that was on fire crashed straight into the bumper cars platform, ten metres from where we had just been standing. From the ship, a strange blue creature with a tail like a scorpion's, a body like a horse's and a torso like a man's emerged, limping straight for us.
"Crap!" Murphy hissed next to me.
"Keep your voice down, douche!" Brooke, the girl of Murphy's dreams, scolded
You can come out now, I won't harm you. The creature said
Drew and Murphy stood, but didn't walk towards the creature, then turned and ran at top speed for the fence of the carnival and started running, our friend Liberty was crawling through a hole in the fence and Brooke was hissing at me, pulling me towards the fence, but I couldn't have torn my eyes from that off four-eyed, mouthless gaze.
Next thing we knew, everything faded to white and we all woke up in our own beds, the next morning. Ever since then, we've had the ability to morph, to turn into any animal we touch. We've also got flashes of knowledge when we need them. Like one that came to us that very day. One that told us that the five of us had this new power and were to use it to fight a race of creatures that were taking over humans, Yeerks. Grey slugs that crawled into your brain through your ears and took over your body, your mind. You were a slave. This was their plan for the whole of Earth. So that's how we ended up like this, us five teenagers, Earth's only hope.
That's how we ended up...as Humorphs. Humans who can morph (Murphy's idea, don't judge me for it!)
:D Please review etc you sexy little people ;)
