The now-Visser Three had extracted several locations of Andalite bases and transportation routes from my memories, back when I was first infested. The Yeerks had been relentlessly attacking them before my people had the chance to move the outposts or change the supply lines.
It didn't take long for my people to reorganize. It didn't take long for my people to fight back and regain some ground. But the sudden, vicious attacks on all fronts had caught them off-guard. The Yeerks had gotten much out of the assaults. They'd captured weapons and technology, most of which I knew how to use. I was no scientist, and I wasn't familiar with some of the newer technology…but it was enough for the Yeerks.
That was before the Visser had taken over the attacks.
Now he had taken charge, and he felt he had much to prove. He killed as many as he could in the battles he led.
How long had those battles gone on? The days and weeks of combat blurred together and seemed like it might never end...one after another, on and on. The Yeerks were in the middle of another attack. A base that had not been evacuated in time to prevent the assault.
"We have Andalite ships converging on us."
Several Andalite spacecrafts came out of nowhere. They moved together while their formation constantly shifted, taking out one Bug Fighter after another. The Visser shouted orders to his subordinates.
One of the controllers turned to face him. "Visser, we're receiving a transmission. One of the ships is trying to open communications. Should we-"
{Do it.} He snapped.
The image of an Andalite filled the screen. He glared at us in defiance. {This is a message to the abomination known as Visser Thirty-Two.}
The Visser gave a harsh laugh. {Actually, it's Visser Three now.}
The Andalite did not look like he cared. {Regardless what rank you claim, my name is Thillaran-Godram-Mallium, and I will be the one to kill you.}
As if to show this was no empty threat, the Blade ship was rocked by the attacks of the Andalite fighters. No, not the fighters. We hadn't seen it before, but it came on us quickly, a Dome Ship. The dome was already released. The base that we had believed to be vulnerable had opened and released the hidden Dome Ship while the fighters distracted the Yeerks and drew their fire. Its powerful guns opened fire on the Blade ship again and again.
Normally a Blade Ship and a Dome Ship are about evenly matched, in terms of firepower. But this Dome Ship moved in quickly, leaving the Blade Ship no time to maneuver and mount a counter attack.
There was only one thing the Visser could do.
{Retreat!}
I couldn't help but enjoy the sight of the Yeerks scrambling to run from the onslaught.
It felt good. It felt very good.
