{Thank you, my friend.}

A flash of green light.

Blackness.

A void of black and green swirled all around me. It stretched on forever.

I felt as though I was being pulled along, at the same time as I stood perfectly still. Like my body was stretched out over billions and billions of miles in seconds.

I tried to scream, but the sound was so distorted I couldn't tell if it was really me at all.

Suddenly, light!

I hit the ground felt something snap underneath me. The Sub-Visser gasped. I looked up.

Three Andalites stood side by side, one was holding a smaller, female. All holding shredders. They had been standing at attention, but now went to fire-

I charged at the Andalite in the middle, his tail went forward to hit me, but I just grazed me. I snaped my huge paws and hit his head with all the strength I had. He crumpled.

{AAAH!}

I turned, the Andalite that held the female had been stabbed in the neck. She had taken the opportunity to cut his throat with her tail-blade. Her blade may have been smaller then a males, but it was still lethal.

The final Andalite shot, missed. I charged, it tried to hit me with it's tail-blade, it hit, but I bit down on it. Tearing his tail with my teeth.

He screamed in pain, then a flash as the female Andalite shot him with a shredder and he collapsed.

It was only the two of us now...

{Floran?} She asked, fearful, but hopeful.

I demorphed in front of her. I saw the hope fade from her face.

"No." I grabbed one of the fallen shredders, put it on the highest setting, and fired at the portal.

I shot dozens of shots, until nothing was left but melted and hissing metal.

"Syd—grrk!"

I looked back on the floor... Sub-Visser 19...

No, I saw a Yeerk on the floor trying to crawl away.

I stood over Quincy Reed, his own blood pouring out of the sides of his mouth...

"...It's... not... over..." His face was fearful, he knew he was finished. "...there's... still... Earth..."

"I know." I said, feeling hollow.

"...can't stop... can't win... Sydnn..."

He died.

The door opened and two Andalites ran in. One examined the room, saw the dead Andalites, saw the aliens.

{What in yaolin is going on here?} He demanded. His eyes shot to the female... Lanam... He went to her side... I saw a look of worry and affection, but only for a second. He turned to me. {Who are you? What are you doing here!}

I dropped the shredder. "I'm not your enemy. I'll tell you everything... I..."

I was so sick, I was so weak, I was so broken.

I fell to the floor. I heard sounds all around me... but passed out.
