Chapter 4
Ax
((Marco I don't know what happened ok? Calm down a bit I'm trying to think.)) It was a completely unbelievable story Marco had told me. I didn't have any idea about what it could be.
But I didn't believe in his theory about the yeerks. The yeerks just couldn't have done something that I couldn't think of.
Then there was two possibilities left. One possibility was that it was other andalites who had discovered that Jake and Marco could morph and wanted to ask them some questions.
But in that case they wouldn't have let Marco go, and they wouldn't care about making those stupid sounds to scare them either.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Marco asked.
((No, quiet please I'm thinking…))
"Think faster then, Jake needs help!"
((I know, but calm down!))
The other possibility was that it was someone who was superior to the andalites… maybe the Ellimist… but the Ellimist wouldn't make a fool of himself by using those sounds and lights either…
But… maybe he knew something…
… Maybe he knew something… even if he hadn't done anything…
… Or…
…maybe he… could…
… Find him… maybe…
"Are you still thinking?"
((I'm not there yet, calm down!))
…should I… call him…
… And ask him if he knew something…
… The Eliminist…
… He was actually the only trustworthy explanation…
… Or, maybe not. He wasn't really. The Ellimist wouldn't try to scare Jake and Marco with some silly darkness and some fog…
… But even if he hadn't something to do with it…
… Maybe he could find him…
… Or at least explain what had happened to him…
"Have you finished your thoughts yet?"
"Quiet Marco, Ax is trying to think!" I heard Cassie say.
… The Eliminist… should I…
… Call for the Eliminist…
… He was the only trustworthy explanation after all…
… At least he was the only one who could explain what had happened.
I didn't like it, I didn't like it, I didn't like it, I didn't like it…
((Eliminist? Can you hear me?))
When I had said it the forest began to become darker and all the sounds disappeared… I watched Marco. He hadn't reacted, this wasn't what he had seen earlier then.
HELLO AXIMILI! It was him, he had actually come when I asked for him. IF YOU WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO IT QUICKLY, I HAVE VERY MUCH TO DO RIGHT NOW! BUT I CAN STAY TO HEAR WHAT YOU WANT, AND IF I'M ALLOWED TO HELP YOU I WILL. BUT WHAT IS IT ABOUT!
"Can you find Jake!" I heard Cassie ask.
SURE, NOTHING CAN BE EASIER… WHAT? CRAYAK IS CHEATING! Then he disappeared.
((Why did I ever believe that I could trust that…))
"Eliminist?" Rachel filled in. "He could have tried to find Jake if it is as easy as he says but then he runs away to hunt Crayak instead!"
((Actually I think that he found him.)) I said quietly. This explained everything. Crayak would have tried to scare Jake and Marco, he would actually have done everything he could to scare them and that wasn't the only thing that remained of him. Cassie took a grip of my arm.
"What are you saying, do you think Crayak has kidnapped Jake?"
((Yes, that is exactly what I think!))
"But the Ellimist will get him back, right?"
((If…)) The Eliminist had said that Crayak had cheated… ((Yes, he will! Now we go saving Prince Jake's parents for him!))
