Elfangor and Arliss were left alone most of the time, which was fine by them. If the Visser was not around, they did not have to act as if Elfangor was an involuntary host. They were called just as the approach to the planet was almost over. After they were at the predefined waiting place, the engines were stopped and several cloaked bug fighters were sent out, along with the ship that would transport the prisoners. Elfangor and Arliss watched their movements from the bridge, along with Visser Three, who seemed to be really excited about having Alloran´s family here soon./p

Only two reached the planet along with the transport. They returned an hour later with the prisoners, but were punished anyway, as they had not gotten all of them. Alloran´s wife and daughter were aboard, his son was missing. During the flight back to Earth, they stayed out of the prisoners sight, as they knew that they would see Elfangor as a traitor. They wanted to wait until they would be able to talk to them alone, without the Visser listening and that could only happen if Alloran was freed./p

They went to the barn, but no one was there. They waited until it was dark, then they returned to the forest to sleep. The next morning they were woken by the familiar feeling of a tail-blade held to the throat. Arliss opened Elfangor´s eyes and looked at the group in front of them. Arbron was there, along with Loren, the children and Aximili. The children looked very disappointed and he could understand them. It had been him who had given them the power to morph and told them to fight the Yeerks, only to accept one in his head a short time later. Arbron, Loren and Aximili seemed to be more sympathetic. Arbron and Loren had been with him on the Taxxon homeworld and Aximili was his brother./p

A long time ago he had thought that he fought for a good cause, but now he only wanted it to end, no matter how. Even if that meant to become a voluntary Controller and side with the Yeerk peace movement, as he had started to call Arliss and the others like him. One after the one, they left, until only Arbron and Aximili were still with him. Arbron said: "Do not worry, old friend. I am sure the children will understand soon. Now you must tell us what exactly happened." To make sure they believed it was really him talking, he asked Arliss to come out, which he did. Elfangor put him in a nearby pond, where he could stay for a while. Then he started to tell them his story. He talked until Aximili was getting tired, then he decided to keep the rest for tomorrow. He put his hand in the pond and soon Arliss touched it. Elfangor put his newest ally back in his head, then he closed his eyes and fell asleep./p
