by Spirit Wolf

Bounce and his brother Blitz are trying to get used to their life. But something is bugging Bounce. Something he can't quite remember. But then he realizes: the Ditto Device. He doesn't know what happened to it, so he and Blitz decide to try and find it. But someone has already found it...

CHAPTER 10

I buzzed my wings and started to hover. The Scyther! It rushed at me.

I lifted a claw to ward him off.

I could now see where all three Weederpies were.

Parasecter Two looked shocked and angry.

The other Pinsir leaped forward and slashed with his big claw at Rachel or Boris, I'm not sure who.

The Scyther was flying towards me. It swung a claw. So did I.

CLANG!

We swung our other claws.

CLANG!

It was like a sword fight.

I swung my left claw. The Scyther blocked it, so I quickly swung my right claw.

CLANG!

Blocked. I kicked with a foot. The Scyther definitely wasn't expecting that.

I slammed it in the stomach with my claw-like foot.

"SCYYY!" it screeched.

I hit it over the head and it fell from the air. It only fell a few feet, but looked unconscious when it landed.

I saw Boris and Rachel slamming the Pinsir, then they turned and started to fly away.

Lisa, Blitz, and Michael were ahead of us. Rachel, Boris, and I started to fly after them.

Wait! Where was Parasecter Two?

I looked around.

Gone! He was gone! He had escaped.

I buzzed after the others.

After a while, we stopped and demorphed. The Scyther is fast and agile - but only if you're used to being one. I had been slow and clumsy.

I felt my legs shrink and my feet expand. My tail spurted out from my behind and my deadly scythe-claws shrank and became blunt.

I felt tired and confused. I mean, I had just morphed from the enemy to myself. Weird.

No, actually, the Weederpies were our enemies, not the poor Scythers and Pinsirs they control.

I found myself wondering why the Weederpies had infested Scythers and Pinsirs first. Were they the only hosts available at the time? No doubt they were working on new Draks for some unlucky species of Pokémon right now.

˂Bounce? Hello, wakey wakey!˃ Blitz chuckled.

I snapped alert. Everyone had finished demorphing. Lisa brought the Ditto Device over to me.

I winced at the damage. A large chunk had been cut out of the surface. That was the chunk I had carried in my mouth as a Scyther. It now lay at my feet.

Inside the hole, wires had been cut and twisted.

The Ditto didn't look too happy. I think that if it was any madder, it could probably break out of the Device.

"Now what do we do, Bounce?" Lisa asked.

Author's Annotation: There's a bit more of Animorphs bleeding through, here. Animorphs often reminds us of the Yeerks' poor victims – slaves in their own bodies, forced to take part in the invasion (and sometimes, battles against the Animorphs).
