Okay yeah this is kinda spur-of-the-moment video

          Okay yeah this is kinda  spur-of-the-moment video. I just thought it would be kinda cool and funny. I mean, the Drode! Singing Smash Mouth! The song is from Astro Lounge and it's called "Defeat You". Obviously it's before the major story arch and all, aka when Animorphs started to suck. Yeah I know, it's my third video on the subject  and I sorta stole elements from my other video ( the leash for example) but hey! I'm having fun!  Heheheheheee….so why don't you have fun too…..

          As the song starts we see the Drode sitting in a chair in the food court. He's swaying his foot in tune to the music. Rachel is walking with shopping bags in the mall. Controllers fill the area.

          Born is a human with a kung-fu spine Drode sings as Rachel rolls her eyes and throws her bags aside.

          Equipped with a detector of what's on your mind She begins morphing grizzly.

          You jive, you shuck, you bob, you weave and Rachel fights off the Controllers, no sweat.

          When you're down you've got something up your sleeve she takes care of the last Controller.

          And you got it good, as bad as it gets Rachel  demorphs, picks her bags up and walks on, as if nothing happened.

          You make your own incisions that come with regrets Now it changes to Rachel and the other Animorphs in the barn. Drode is relaxing on a bale of hay, bobbing his head, invisible to them.

          You're in it to win it and make every minute count Rachel pumping her fists as they prepare to go another mission.

          You put it all together and They all leave

Dish it out.  Rachel walks away with a swagger in step. Suddenly, she looks behind her back.

          Heeeeeeeeeeey I know where you're from! Drode appears right before her

          It makes it that much nicer to meet you… She takes a surprised Rachel's hand and shakes it. Rachel pulls away in disgust and lunges at him.

          Heeeeeeeeeey I know what you've done! Drode appears behind her

          It makes it that much better  to defeat you… She spins around, disoriented and Drode shoves her on the ground. Drode disappears as Rachel gets up angrily and looks around.

          All that knowledge, all those skills Now the Animorphs are at the Yeerk Pool, fighting. Drode is sitting on top of the cages, swaying in tune still.

          All the gas it takes to get on top of  the hill Rachel in grizzly morph swats Hork-Bajir away.

          And while the others try to take your spot you wanna  make them stop They surround her and she frantically tries to push them away.

          But ya gotta make them stop! The Controllers crowd and block Rachel from the camera.

          Would you do anything? Whatever it takes Drode bursts through and hoists a now human Rachel up on her feet. He puts an arm around her.

          Jacks in the road, yeah fix the brakes first he presents some grenades, then a small bomb.

          It's the instinct that's got us locked up tight Drode turns to her front and clutches her shoulders, shaking them a little

          It's the madness that's keeping us up all night!  He puts his arm back around her and swings the other is a sweeping arch ( like he's displaying the future…whatever)

          Heeeeeeeeeeey I know where you're from! He calls out to Rachel as she wrestles from his grasp.

          It makes it that much nicer to meet you….  Rachel heads for the stairs

          Heeeeeeeeeey I know what you've done! he appears before her, presenting David. Rachel shrieks and bats them both away.

          It makes it that much better  to defeat you…. Rachel collapses on the stairs grabbing her head.

         

          It's whaaaaaaaaaat we arrrrrrrrrrre ! The scene changes and Rachel looks up to see Drode standing on a large rampart, Crayak overlooking it showing the grandeur of evil

          It's whaaaaaaaaaaat we arrrrrrrrrre!  Rachel stands up and Drode calls to her, motioning her to come up with him

          It's whaaaaaaaaaaat we arrrrrrrrrre!  He helps Rachel onto the rampart and shows her all those that cower beneath them. An evil smile spreads Rachel's lips.

          Born is a human with mechanics to win Rachel jumps down, a powerful machine hybrid ( book # 48 The Return)  and mows down Controllers.

          Born is a machine with a human tucked in Rachel hears this and turns to Drode who looks away

          You jive, you shuck, you jab, you stick Rachel beats them all  hardly using any energy

          You're calling out for help when it gets too thick now Controllers are pouring from everywhere, Rachel looks uneasy

          Your honor She spots Jake and the others in morph looking like they're coming to get her

          Your honor she looks back and Crayak and Drode

          It's not me Drode shrugs.

          It's the invisible, visible evil powers that be Drode wiggles his fingers at Rachel in a taunting way

          Untraceable, insatiable having to feed She throws the Controllers off but is wounded

          Yeah, you cry when  you're wounded and you laugh when they bleed! now the Animorphs mob her. She looks to Drode who's laughing.

          Heeeeeeeeeeey I know where you're from! Drode says in a more angry tone as Rachel tries to escape

          It makes it that much nicer to meet you…. Rachel becomes more human now, looking desperate

          Heeeeeeeeeey I know what you've done! Drode appears and blocks the entrance, tapping his foot

          It makes it that much better  to defeat you… He points back to Crayak, as if ordering her to go back.

         

               

          Heeeeeeeeeeey I know where you're from! Rachel gets buff again and throws Drode up against the wall

          It makes it that much nicer to meet you!.

          Heeeeeeeeeey I know what you've done! Drode looks her in the eye with a sneer on his face

          It makes it that much better  to defeat you! Rachel's power diminishes  as Drode does a sort of hypnotic thing on her. The Drode slides down as Rachel weakens.

         

                It makes it that much better to defeat you! A leash appears around Rachel, she looks at it, horrified.

           It makes it that much better to defeat you! Drode yanks her along, Rachel struggles mightily against him

           It makes it that much better to defeat you! Drode punches her in the stomach and she doubles over

          It makes it that much better to beat you….. A side shot of Drode in Rachel's face, sneering and jeering. Rachel bows her head…..

:::Author ducks as trash is thrown at her:::: Hey, hey! I'm just doing a video that matched the lyrics! I like Rachel just as much as anyone, I just wanted to portray what it might have been  like ( in an abstract way) if Crayak had triumphed over Rachel. Sorry, sorry, ya but just like tattoos and band names, it seemed like a good idea at the time……
