Michael

My name is Michael. You know the drill.

Jake filled us in about a secret yeerk project being operated somewhere outside the city. He told us that Erek got some information about a research facility that they had built underneath a huge mansion in the middle of the woods. They discovered it one day when two yeerks were out on a scouting mission. After telling the Visser about it he consoulted the council of thirteen and, after getting their approval, began construction.

"Why would someone build a mansion in the woods?" I asked.

"Right now, that's not that important. What is important is that we have to shut it down." Jake explained. "Erek told me that they are doing some really twisted experiments down there, so who knows what they could be up to. We leave midnight tonight. Erek said that he would accompany us, along with two other Chee."

"Why? We don't need any help! Tell them we don't want them to get involved." said Rachel.

"What's done is done Rachel," piped up Meghan, "I say we should take the help we can get."

"Meghan's right. We need to do this, and having help won't exactly be a bad thing." said George.

"So that's settled then. Go home and get ready guys. It's gonna be a long night ahead of us." Said Jake. We all took his advice and left the barn. We all morphed bird (exept for Tobias) and took off. Meghan, George, and I flew off in the direction of the scoop. Ax flew close behind with Tobias, while the three of us engaged in conversation.

((So what do you think we'll find down there?)) asked George.

((I don't kow, but I'm sure that it's nothing we can't handle.)) I assured him. We continued to fly over the lush green forest, catching a few thermals before settling down on the ground to demorph. We made our way inside, followed soon after by Tobias and Ax. Meghan and I went to our room to get ready.

I sat down on the bed and reached over to the night table. I pulled one of the doors open to reveal a small case. I took it out and set it on the bed. I opened it and took out four dracon beams. Two for myself, one for George, and one for Meghan. I had a bad felling about tonight. I really bad feeling.

"What are those for?" She asked me.

"I rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it." I said as I handed her one. "You do know how to use one of these right?"

She did not seem amused. I smirked. "It's a joke."

"I know. I'm assuming that that one is for George. You might as well give it to him now, and pray he doesn't hurt himself." I laughed, kissed her on the cheek, and walked out of the room and into George's.

"Here. We might need them."

"No thanks. What's the worst that could happen?" I gave him a stern look. "Fine. But I doubt we'll need It."

"Your welcome."I said as we turned around and left the room.

In addition to the dracons, I brought a flashlight and a small swiss army knife I had from a while ago. We were set for the mission. We left for the barn at 11:30 and got there in about fifteen minutes. We landed almost everyone was there, minus Marco.

As if right on cue, he swooped in and after a short 'lets do it' from Rachel we all took off towards the mansion. Erek said that he and the other two chee would be there by the time we got there.

The flight there was pretty boring, but we managed to keep some small talk. My mind was focused mainly on going in, doing the mission, and getting out as soon as possible. I had a bad feeling about this.

We landed in a small clearing, in front of the mansions front gates. They were rusty, with weeds crawling up the sides. No one had been through here for a while. We demorphed just in time to greet Erek and two other chee, one with a boy hologram that looked similar to Jake and the other a girl hologram that looked like a background dancer for a britney spears music video.

Seriously.

"Hello." greeted Erek. "This is Adam," pointing to the boy, "And this is Erin." pointing to the girl. "shall we go then?"

"Lets." said Rachel. With that we made our way past the iron gates and up the winding road towards the mansion. Looking up into the top windows of the mansion I saw figure, but after looking back the figure disapeared.

This was going to be a loooong night.
