AUTHORS NOTE** O.K., this is my first fic so don't burn me (how many times have I read that?)There is no need to admit it: the ending of #54 SUCKED. I thought Remnants was what happened after The Rachel rammed into the Blade Ship. I was SO wrong. Here is my continuation of 54.

~*~The Animorphs DO NOT belong to me they belong to K.A.A., Scholastic, and maybe others.

-Tobias:

We stood there for a few seconds staring at Jake. RAM THE BLADE SHIP?! But something in me tells me that he is right. "The One" is the creepiest thing I saw in me life. Poor Ax.

"Power to the engines" Menderash reported. "Brace yourselves!" Jake cried. "Peuny humans. You thing that will work?! Ha! Think again." "The One" said arrogantly. "Steady men!"

BA-BOOM!!

"ha,ha,ha! And you thought you could beat me?" Wow. the impact was well. . . something so exhilarating, painful, and. . . something else that I can't think of the word to fit it.I am in so much pain. Hey, Marco, Jake, everyone; you all still alive? If not don't say anything. I called out. "oww! That was my leg!"I heard some cursing. For your sake I won't repeat anything."Yeah, we're O.K., I think. Man that was stupid." I heard Jake say, I could hear the pain in his voice. "Yeah that was PRETTY stupid: ruined this tite ship named after bird-boy's girl, Recked the blade ship but not enough to do real damage, hurt yourself, hurt Mr. Santorelli, huh, huh Jeanne, the strong and brave Menderash, the long lost bird, and most importantly, ME!!" Marco of course. When dragged along a suicide mission impossible he does get panicky, paranoid, very irritating, and cranky. "This supposed to work HOW?" Stantorelli said sarcastically. "Oh, shut-up" snapped Jeanne. "At least he came up with something."

"ah.but our sacrifice didn't do much did it. Big-And-Ugly is still alive."replied Marco. This nonsense babble was giving me a headache; so I spoke up.Will every one just SHUT_UP!! blaming ourselves for screwups in the past and present--- I turned my "awful gaze" (ha,ha) to Our Fearless Leader.Making bad jokes---Stantorelli & Marco of course.and not doing anything to help our situation everyone and maybe myself too.aren't going to get us anywhere.Maybe the slugs in the blade ship got fried or beat up like we did but do I see some UGLY monstrosity DEAD?! NO! Normally I would be beak shut, thoughts to myself, and be flying away muttering about what fools you all are. But no! My best friend, Shorm, and Uncle part of that--that - thing...I'm not just going to sit on my but watching the world go by like I have been doing these past few years. Time to wake up and take charge! They just sat there and stared few had fearful looks on their faces. Finally Jake rose shakily, Strode over to "the One" and said "let our friend go or suffer the consequences." He said that very boldly, mind you. The rest of our crew started to rise and face the evil thing with this look on their faces. It was of Bravery, Courage, Fear, and a rare Willingness you only find in the best of times. Sort of like when my mother demorphed for the first time, saw me as a human then she broke out tears of happiness.

I flapped hard and glided over to Jack's shoulder. Give us Axmili or die "HAH,HAH,HAH!"the thing said in a crewel, deep, sort of scary voice. "You will never have this body back. It belongs to me now.Your friend-is-dead"

"Well then we'll just make sure Ax's fate doesn't happen to any one else will we?" Marco said boldly. With an anqished cry he charged.
