Chapter 2: Space and Time
By: Hope
I studied the strands of time. The timelines of a countless amount of beings were being woven over and over, so deeply within the blanket of time itself that almost no one would be able to decipher what those individual timelines did, who they were or perhaps even what species they belonged to. Not unless of course you had been studying them for over a billion earth years...not unless watching those timelines was the only joy that you could possibly conceive in the world that you live in.
It had been 500 years since the Animorphs driven the yeerk threat away from their home planet. 500 years since the Animorphs had become the hero's of Earth and it seemed that since then the galaxy couldn't be a happier or more prosperous place to live.
Crayak had also disapeared 500 years ago, perhaps it was the loss of Earth that had scared him off but I felt that he had most likely found his way back to his own galaxy or home, where he had tougher oponents to battle against and higher stakes for himself to lose.
So since then I had been alone with no home to call my own or peace to be met. It seemed to me that Earth had played out it's part in the timeline of the whole galaxy itself...I no longer had any reason to watch over it, the Animorphs were now long gone and the humans and Andalites had long ago made an unbreakable alliance to crush all threatening forces and bring total..or as close to total as you can get, peace to the galaxy and so far it was working.
So after 500 years of watching the same planet's timelines flow, my 'eyes' began to drift to other stars, other planets. It was even a freak coincidence that I had been able to spot it. It was the 550th anniversary of the yeerk's defeat and it was usually a prosperous and happy time on Earth so I had usually focused there...and thats when I saw it...them.
At first I thought that it must have just been a mistake, perhaps something that might present itself to look like them...but after I began to watch them more closely, I knew that it was true. It seemed to me that the Animorphs were back...in spirit at least. For what I saw were four timelines sprout up out of nothingness and begin to weave their way into the blanket of time and space. These timelines were so familiar that I would almost never forget them...I had spent the 500 years since Crayak disapeared watching them, over and over.
But those weren't the only things that I noticed. Across from the other side of the galaxy I saw/felt two other familiar timelines shoot across and land on Earth. What I saw was the reunion of all six of the Animorphs. Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, Tobias and Andalite War-Prince Aximili-Esgarouth-Isthill.
So with this new development in the works...I once again began watching Earth, seeing if maybe the Animorphs would finally get the happy ending they had deserved long ago...
