The Experiment of Argavid
Chapter 4
Bella fluttered her eyes open as she yawned. She sat up and noticed Beiviz and the girls are in a protective circle around her. She looks around and notices Flasaur's herd in the distance, also asleep as it was early in the morning. She wanted to go back to sleep, but she felt really hungry. She quietly got up and walked around the butos and made her way to the lake. Unknown to her, there are animorphs watching her.
"So what's the plan," Rexy whispers.
"What I really want to know is if the storm wasn't caused by her. Her argavidium guardian seems older and stronger than once thought, so I want to see if she can use her powers again, so this time we'll know that she has the argavidium guardian inside her," Anomaly explained. Rexy nods as they follow her to the lake. At the lake, Bella laid her basket down and looks at the water, she can see lots of fish in the water.
"I wish I had a fishing line," she said to herself. She can't fish with her bare hands, she's used to a fishing pole. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It was Sporchuvak!
"Don't worry Bella, I've got you covered," Sporchuvak said. Bella was glad she could see him again. He seems like her father, but isn't at the same time.
"I don't know, what if I accidentally cause another storm like I did yesterday," Bella asks. Sporchuvak chuckles.
"Oh, that wasn't you, I caused you to make that storm. You see, I am actually an element known as argavidium, a special material that, when coming in contact with an animal, will give it a guardian that holds its power," he explained. Bella shook her head in understanding as he finished up his explanation.
"So close your eyes, hold them tight, and I'll do this for you."
"Okay...here I go," she hesitantly says to herself as Sporchuvak disappears. She closed her eyes tight with fear. Her hair and clothes began to flow like the wind, despite their being no breeze. She lost control of her physical body as her eyes opened up, revealing only white scerla. Sporchuvak temporarily took control of her body and raised her hands into the air, causing a basketfull of fish to rise out of the water. They fall onto the ground beside her as Bella regains her body.
"Was that so bad," Sporchuvak asked.
"Not really, I honestly don't know what happened, but it felt like I was back in time," she replied.
"That was because your soul left your body temporarily for me to take control so you can use your powers. Your soul sent to your brain, where you got to live out your past events again." She was saddened that it wasn't that long, she swore she saw a portal to another place, to Earth, but another portal opened up in front of her and she was right back to where she was.
"Alright, if you need anything, just ask...or I'll just stay around your eyes so I can see outside, that works to," Sporchuvak said. His voice fades away as she says bye to him. She looks on the ground to see the fish he pulled up and put them in her basket. Suddenly, she heard clapping, almost like someone was clapping in a full set of armor. She turns her head to two...humans?
One was covered head-to-toe in red armor with a sheathed sword beside him, a giant man with a scaly tail, claws, and sharp teeth right at his side.
"Bravo, that was an amazing job you did there," the "knight" cheered. Her eyes we're wide as she backed away. She bumped into something. She turned her head to see another man in red armor.
"Hi." She screams and kicks the armor clad humanoid in the leg. He silently cursed to himself as he jumped, holding his leg in pain. She ran away, back to the butos to tell them what happened.
"You just had to scare her, didn't you Crabby," Rexy sighs.
"What? I thought she was friendly," Crabby responds in a pout. Anomaly sighs as he and the other animorphs walk back to the village to tell them the news.
Back with Bella, she had just arrived back at the field with Flasaur's herd. She noticed the butos were a bit worried when she arrived.
"Are you okay Bella," Beiviz chirps. She nods as she sits down. Beiviz collects firewood and lights a fire for Bella to cook her fish.
"So...how did you even get the fish anyway," Eigriz bellows as she eats a fish whole.
"Well, I was going to try and fish with my bare hands, but I knew I couldn't. Suddenly an argavidium guardian of mine, Sporchuvak, told me it was okay and he temporarily took control of my body and caught all of the fish. I put them in my basket and I saw two of those animorphs in front of me clapping. I got scared and tried fleeing into the water, but I was blocked by another animorph. I screamed and kicked the animorph in the leg and ran off," she explained.
"Are you sure they were animorphs," Beiviz growls.
"Well, one was wearing a whole suit of red armor with a sword sheathed by his leg. There was also a very tall and huge man with claws, sharp teeth, and a scaly tail. The one I bumped into looked like the first one, but his hands are claws," Bella said. Beiviz roared in anger. He wanted to tear them apart. But he then realized how powerful they are. He growls in annoyance before looking up at the girls.
"Okay, were leaving, Eigirz, Chemyrt, let's go," Beiviz roared as he got up.
"Wait, why are we leaving," Bella said as she grabbed her things.
"Animorphs are dangerous beings. They should not be trusted. We probably need to ask Flasaur and his herd to leave as well." Bella sighed as they approached Flasaur.
"I see your all awake and well, what's the problem," Flasaur grumbled.
"We all need to leave...now," Beiviz growled.
"Is it Cateric again," Flasaur trumpets. Beiviz gave him a glare of urgency. Flasaur smelt the chemicals in the air, as he is blind, just like the rest of his species, and shook his head in understanding.
"The animorphs, here? Everyone! We need to move now!" The herd began to move. It looked like one mass migration of elephants. Bella climbed onto Flasaur's back as they journey. Out in the forest, a whole group of animorphs watch the herd migrating with interest.
"It seems that the girl is leaving unexpectedly," Anomaly said.
"Did she not like me," Crabby said.
"She didn't like you because she eats your kind dummy," a different animorph says. This one has more revealing grey armor, allowing his two prehensive tails to flow with the wind.
"No matter, we can't let her leave, she's too important and powerful to go. If she gets in the wrong hands, the enemy would most likely use her powers to kill us all," Anomaly said.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's go get her," Crabby said, running off to go grab her. He's stopped by Rexy.
"What are you doing you big buffoon, were doing it stealth style," Rexy growled. Crabby shivered in fear. Rexy in his animal form has the be the third largest creature on Earth, so he has tons of power, allowing him to destroy almost anything living.
"Okay, out of all of the people here, which ones are masters of stealth," Anomaly asked. Only one raised her hand. This one has vine-like, leafy hair which she can control to fight, and unusually large, plant-like ears. She's the master of stealth, since she's part plant and their in a forest.
"Ah! I see we have our good old master of stealth here. We'll be back with the girl," Anomaly said, surrounding himself with a stealth shield as the animorph with him covers herself with her hair.
A few minutes later, the herd makes one final stop at the lake to drink. Their going to need it for their journey for a new home, far away from the animorphs.
"I hope it won't be too far, from a forest," Eigriz chirped, sad to see that she's leaving the forest she's lived in for so many years.
"It's alright Eigriz, were doing this for Bella, you know, our little girl," Beiviz growled, nuzzeling her.
"I know."
"I just hope that this new place is lively like this one," Bella said.
"True, were going on the same route as Flasaur's herd. With them by our side, there is nothing that can't kill us," Eigriz chirps.
"We're leaving now," Flasaur trumpeted. Bella gets on Flasaur's back as he begins to leave with his herd. The butos take off into the air, providing assistance to the herd.
"Are you feeling okay Bella," Flasaur grumbled.
"Yeah, it's just-" Flasaur suddenly couldn't hear her voice, even though he was still able to hear everything.
"Bella?" He began to feel around his back. She was gone!
"Everyone stop! Bella is gone! We need to find her," Flasaur ordered. The males of the herd all began to search for Bella as the females keep the young ones with them. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't find her.
"What happened," Beiviz growled.
"I was just talking to her, but she disappeared from my back," Flasaur trumpeted. Beiviz wanted to roar at him in anger for losing Bella, but then he realized that he's old and blind, so he'll let it slide.
"Well join the hunt, she's our daughter and well not stop until we find her," Beiviz chirped. Instantly, their ears and feet sensors picked up Bella's scent trail. It's heading back to where they came from!
"She's going back to where she came!"
"Over all my life, I've never thought humans were this forgetful. Did she forget to grab something," Flasaur trumpeted.
"Wait hold on." Beiviz's sensors were picking up two other scent trails. They were going the same route as Bella's.
"There are two other creatures following her," Beiviz warned.
"Oh no, the animorphs must know we're leaving and kidnapped Bella! We need to find her...and fast. Beiviz, you can smell the trails, lead the way, well follow you by your chemical trail," Flasaur trumpets.
"I will, because Bella is my daughter, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that she will be safe," Beiviz roars.
"Same here! Bella will be safe and sound because of us. Neo let's go!"
The males, including Beiviz and Eigriz, all run off in the direction of the scent trails. Beiviz does what he's told and leads the herd through the forest to find Bella and He thinks in his mind, his daughter will not die by the hands of the animorphs!
Ah! Finally, this chapter is finally out of the way! Once again, if you have an idea for the next chapter, place a review. All ideas are appreciated, no matter what it is (as long as it's not MLP, that is cancer and banned in the UMR). Anyway, hope you've enjoyed this chapter.
This is Sporedude135, signing off...
I really need to find a new outro. This one is getting way too annoying to use.
