He just could not believe that Elfangor would do something like this. He had known that his friend had done a lot of strange things in the years since they had last seen each other. But he would never had thought that the endless war had driven him to become a voluntary Controller, so that he could try to end the war from the inside. If it was even Elfangor himself and not the Yeerk that had written the message./p

Elfangor´s decision made him question everything they had heard the adults say about the Yeerks, that they were all evil and the galaxy would be a better place without them. But he had also heard about Andalites doing things to them that no living creature would ever have deserved. He had always written these stories off as rumors with no truth behind them, but now he was not so sure anymore. If Elfangor had really made this decision on his own free will, then maybe neither the Andalites nor the Yeerks were all as black and white as they had been led to believe./p

He heard that Loren was somewhere behind him, trying to keep up, but he had soon lost her. He needed to be alone right now, to think about what this could mean for him, for Loren and for the human children. He stopped by a stream, put one hoof in the water and started to drink. When he was not thirsty anymore, he walked over to the tree where he used to sleep since he had returned to his natural form and closed all four of his eyes./p

If you hear me, come. If you hear me, come." It had been definitely the voice of an Andalite, trapped underwater somewhere and the only other one he knew, aside from himself, Elfangor and Visser Three, was Elfangor´s brother, Aximili. But whoever it was, needed help immediately. Luckily, the children did not have to go to school the next day, so they all met in the barn in the afternoon. It turned out that Cassie and Tobias had heard the call as well. They discussed which morphs they could use for an underwater search, until they finally decided on something they called dolphins./p

He landed next to the dolphins, looking around. When he was sure that no one could see him, he demorphed and slowly put out his hand to acquire it. When he was done, the others walked in. They also quickly acquired the animals, then they went back the way they came, after having decided to start the search tomorrow morning./p
