A/N: Heyya! Thanx again for reviewing! MORE TIPS! MORE TIPS! Ahem. Okay, things are really gonna get crazy. Tell me if any it's good! XOXOXO

Mrowrkat98, thanx for the tips. I tried not to make them too powerful, but don't worry; Tash and Ran start have major problems with their powers pretty soon. And I mean MAJOR. And about Tasha's 'witch' thing, healing is about the only thing she can do, being only a beginner. And as you can see, she can't really get very far with it. And glad you like it thus far. I'm trying my best to make it better, though. Your tips help a lot, no matter how minor. And about my little grammar error…LOL! I only realized my mistake with 'closest' after I went back and reread it. I sooo did not mean to have it turn out as 'closets'. It's just, when I'm in a hurry when I'm writing, I sometimes type in letters in the wrong order, lol. Thanx for pointing it out. Hope you review again!

Disclaimer: If I could, I'd have already claimed them a long time ago.

Chapter Three:

Randi

"In here," Cassie panted, opening the door to the barn. We filed in, completely out of breath.

Tobias and I stumbled over to Elfangor who walked over to an empty stall with lots of hay and laid down in horse-like manner, but still "sat up". "You still with us, Elfangor?" I asked. Tobias knelt beside him and rested a hand on Elfangor's shoulder.

I am well enough, Knowing One.

"Um, hello?" Marco interrupted. "He's okay, now. So how 'bout worrying about those of us who are scared out of our minds?"

Cassie and I looked at each other and exchanged subtle laughs before Cassie said to our fella Andalite, "I'm sorry we can't do very much else for you except bandage your wound."

"Yeah," I added. "At least until Tash gets back."

All is well for now, my friends. Elfangor simply answered. I must rest a moment.

I knelt in front of Elfangor, "Um, sorry for asking this now, but what'dya mean by 'I have the power'?"

Your psychic abilities will allow you to extract the power from another's mind and copy onto your own.

"How's that possible?"

You are psychic.

Marco threw his hands up and started walking back and forth. "Great! Another psycho. How many times do I have to tell you that there's no such thing as psychics?!"

"Marco!" I said angrily and stood up. "Tasha and I are living proof!"

"Oh, really? Well, I haven't seen either one of you do anything to prove it!"

"How's this? You're about to hit--" too late. In his sideways pacing, he ran straight into a wall, knocking him flat on his ass. I tried to stifle a chuckle of triumph and amusement as Cassie moved to help him up. Tobias seemed a little amused, too when I looked over at him. When Marco was back up on his feet, I sneered, "Told ya."

"Told me what? You didn't say anything to help me avoid that."

"No, because I only sensed it just a split second before it happened. I didn't have time to say anything."

"Right," he huffed as he paced some more.

Young one, you have seen the Knowing One demonstrate her power before. You cannot persist to deny it. Elfangor pointed out.

I turned to him with a surprised look, "How'd you know about what happened earlier today?"

I can easily see your past experiences from your mind.

"You mean you can read all our thoughts?" Cassie asked.

No. It is not that simple. I can only see the minds of those I am connected with.

"How are you connected with me?" I asked, becoming weirded out myself, now.

Being an Andalite, I am associated to those in connection because of my telepathic ability. My ways of speech is an example, but with no relation to my--

"But I ain't of any connection to you." I pointed out, walking closer to him and kneeling down again.

No. But Tobias is. Tobias jerked his gazed up at us both in surprise as if asking how he knew what his name was and howhe's connected to our new alien friend. When you two first met, your strong feelings and powerful mind immediately connected you both, even if you did not realize it. But you are also connected to your friend, the Healing One. And she is connected to the leader of your company. And because he has a cousin, I can see hers, as well. There are only two minds here that are blocked to me. But I can see the open minds through Tobias'.

Tobias stood up and stared down at Elfangor as if unsure whether to freak out or admit he's crazy, "Whoa. What?"

"Tobias," I paused only for second and bored my chocolate eyes into his green-brown ones. But something was telling that I shouldn't rush into it. "Elfangor is your father." He looked like somebody decked him (no doubt from his uncle).

"W-w-what?" he stammered. "I-I don't think I heard you right."

Elfangor stood and took a few steps toward him, The Knowing One speaks truly, my son. I am indeed your father.

Marco obviously couldn't hold back saying, "Man, no wonder he doesn't fit in. He's literally half alien!"

Tobias took a few steps backward as if afraid to go near the Andalite again. "…No. My father's dead."

I would have died if your Psyche Mate hadn't insisted on rescuing me. My son, why else would you feel so close to me after only just knowing me for a short while? Tobias slowly shook his head in disbelief. Then just like that, he collapsed in faint. Right. I should have waited a little.

We all crept over to him. Glancing once at his still form, Marco exclaimed, "Oh, my God, you killed him!"

I mocked a smile, "Very funny."

I should have known it was too soon to tell him. Elfangor said a little sadly.

"I know. I thought the same thing," I said. Then, my expression went blank. Ya see, it's what happens when Tasha or I get a premonition. I saw a brief glimpse of Tasha, Jake, and Rachel. They were in danger.

"Randi?" Cassie asked in a concerned tone. "Are you alright?"

I snapped out of my trance. I looked at Cassie for a split second then turned to Elfangor. "Um, I think I can use that power, now."

What did you see, Knowing One?

"I need to get back to Tash and the others. They need help. And the only way I can go back is in the body of an Andalite."

Then you must copy my power.

"How do I do that?"

Once you enter my mind, your instincts will let you know.

"But I can't enter minds! I can only--"

There is no time to argue. Concentrate on my mind. Find the power. Copy it. Use it.

"But I don't know what to do!I've never done this before."

Your psyche will guide you. he then grabbed my hand. Allow me to help you.

The next thing I knew, my vision was swimming in the middle of a bunch of swirling colors and cluttered sounds. It was like traveling through bare time. Or maybe, a dream? A very confusing dream. Damn, the mind of an Andalite Prince is so full of…everything!

But before it was over, I felt a sharp zap. Then my vision was back in the barn. I'd stumbled backward as if someone violently shocked me…and that wasn't too far from the truth. I touched my head as I felt nausea overcome me, almost. But I tried not to show it.

It has been done. Elfangor said.

"Yeah. I figured that."

You must do what needs to be done. Would you insist on going alone?

"Y-yeah. I need to."

Then acquire my DNA. You know what needs to be done.

"Right." I walked over and touched his 'cheek', or whatever it was and concentrated. He did the whole trance thing until I felt the expected pattern pass through me. I gasped a little and backed away. "Okay. I'll morph when I get close enough to the site." And I took off.

Use caution, Knowing One! he called after me. Visser Three and the Yeerks are not to be underestimated!

But also, I heard Marco, "Okay, so she takes off, leaves us here with an alien, goes to save the day, while we're here with…son of alien still on the ground." I laughed a little to myself. But Tobias would have to wait. Besides, Cassie'll probably think of something to do with him.

I morphed as I ran. Somehow, I knew what to do, even though I'd only read about it. It was weird, growing two extra legs and a tail when you're running. (If you could, I'd tell you to try it sometime, but you're not as fortunate/unfortunate as us.) My vision improved as I grew stalks on my head with an extra pair of eyes. It was so weird! I could see in three directions at once! My hair turned blue as well as fur growing from my body. My feet became hooves and stepped out of my heeled sandals, my very short shorts were torn to shreds when my skeletal structure became too large, but I took off my denim jacket and hung it on a branch of a tree just in the knick of time when my white blouse tore. Great. I wasn't exactly packed for this trip to California with spare clothes…and I'm modest, believe it or not.

My transformation was complete by the time I reached the site. A scene of three Andalite figures surrounded by a bunch of human, Hork-Bajir, and Taxxon-Controllers and an infested Andalite came into my view. Just as I had seen in my mind.

It seems Prince Elfangor's warriors aren't as cunning as I have been told. the obvious Visser Three's voice broadcasted.

Tasha sent a private thought to Jake that I didn't hear about until we were safe at Cassie's barn again, Jake, you gotta do the talking.

Why me?

Because you're the only one with a male voice. I'll tell you what to say, you just say it.

And then I heard Jake's thought-voice, We're smarter than you think.

Is that so? Well, I find it difficult to believe, seeing as you have cornered yourselves.

Not quite! I cried, jumping over my friends and facing him by just a few inches away. You'll hafta--have to get through me before you get to them.

You seem to be a valiant young Andalite. But I must say you have a great resemblance to the War Prince.

Oops. Didn't stop to think 'bout that. But I had to go along with it, Yes. I take after my father. by now I could sense Tasha's shock and anxiousness.

She sent a private thought to me, Randi, what are you doing?

Saving ours and Toby's lives, here!

Ah! Visser Three exclaimed, meanwhile. So you are the lost child of Elfangor.

I had to lose my Western talk. Talk Andalite, Randi. Talk Andalite! Correct, Visser. And I must say that I do not surrender without a fight.

Without a fight? I am favoring you already. and before I had time to brace myself, his scorpion-like tail came around and sliced a lesion in my Andalite chest. With a thought-scream, I stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. I'm telling you; those tails are more than razor-sharp and move faster than even light, and not to mention the blades hurt like hell. I was already bleeding rivers in just a half a second.

Randi? Tasha's 'voice' came to my hearing.

I'm fine, Tash. You get the others outta here. I'll handle this.

But--

NOW! I jumped to my feet, tail at the ready.

You are a strong one, Child of Elfangor. Visser Three complimented. This shall be interesting.

Come on, guys, Tasha said meanwhile. We gotta split.

I'll settle for that. Jake agreed and turned to haul ass outta there, but Rachel was still kinda game.

Fine. You guys go. I'll help Randi.

Rachel, there's no time! Tasha exclaimed.

I'm gonna help whether you like it or not. Tasha nodded and she and Jake took off.

Retrieve those Andalites, you morons! Visser Three exclaimed.

Retrieve THIS! I swung my tail and in less than an instant, I slashed his shoulder. Another swipe and I knocked him down. (Man, the speed that I can move this thing at! It was breath-taking, I swear to you.) But all of his minions had gone off to chase Tash and Jake, which gave me the advantage.

A/N: Sorry I had to cut this off, but I had to post something soon. Review and help me make it better! XOXOXO!
