Nicole
I watched as Aerionna and her mother, with the help of Elfangor from time to time. Dad was by my side, a hand on my arm.
The others were readying themselves mentally, and Zack and Lily were already in their chosen forms. My mother… or, the Yeerk in her head, was going to morph a fly as soon as there was an open space.
It was going to all rely on split-second timing, but I was sure we could do it. I hoped…
I turned and looked up at dad, and he turned to look at me, smiling a little. Then for some reason I just got this urge to lean up and hug him tightly. He hugged me back.
"I'm so proud of you"
"Thanks daddy. I love you"
"Love you too baby"
I heard someone nervously clearing their throat, and turned to see Sean there, squirming a little "They're uh… almost finished Nikki. Just thought you should know" then he took off to where Seth was, both of them whispering something to one another.
"Will you guys be okay dad?" I asked, looking up at him, then over at the Yeerk that passed itself off as my mother. My dad and Rtaia were going with her, since both were wary about the Yeerk.
"I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about" he said following my gaze, then looking down at me. He put both hands on my shoulders and I just nodded.
"I'll be fine. I'm just like you… I'll do it"
He smiled "That's my girl"
"Nikki!" I heard Cody call "There's no more time!"
"Right!" I gave dad a peck on the cheek, rushing off and yelling back "Good luck!"
"You too!" I saw him and the others start to morph. I looked ahead and saw my friends already growing, their skin turning grey. I focused and started to morph as well.
(Um, I don't think we're all gonna fit) Alex pointed out.
(Well just have to do what we can. Aerionna? Elfangor? You ready?)
"Ready!" Elfangor yelled as he aimed his Dracon beam at the last latch. Aerionna was on the other side, mimicking him.
(I am as well)
(Okay! Get ready for the ride of your lives!)
Seth snorted (Great ride)
(Okay. Dad?)
(We're ready. Just do it!)
(All right GO!) I yelled, and Aerionna and Elfangor cut the last latches of the doors, and they began to fall inwards. Those of us that could, grabbed the door, putting our big elephant heads forward to stop it from crushing us. Still, it wasn't easy.
I felt Elfangor land on my back, and one of us pick up Aerionna.
(Ready?) I called as I dimly felt the Hork-Bajir on the other side, pounding the doors and getting no-where.
(Let's do it!) Cody yelled from beside me.
(We're all insane!) Megan yelped. She sounded like she was behind me…
(All right, LETS MOVE IT!)
We all pushed, and soon the doors began to move, and as we picked up the pace, it got easier for us to move the doors. The others flanked us as we moved faster… and faster… and faster…
Then came the screams. And we suddenly found it was all very bumpy under our feet.
(It's working! I can't believe it's actually working!) Lily cried in shock.
(Of course! It's Nikki's idea!) Alex shot back. Lily fell silent as we continued to ram our enemy with all we had.
(Does anyone know where we're going!) Michelle asked suddenly.
(All the way down!) Aerionna replied.
(All right! We're clear! We'll meet you at the Yeerk Pool!) Dad yelled, then I didn't hear anything from those three.
We continued to barrel down, a dangerous herd of elephants with two very dangerous metal doors. I heard Toni laughing madly, and soon Cody joined her.
(WE RULE!) Toni yelled.
(It's not over yet!) I reminded them, feeling Elfangor slide backwards, then scrabble forward again.
"Phew! Someone's gotta fix this road!" he giggled.
(We are!) Seth cried. I heard Megan laugh.
Okay, so it was cool we finally had the upper hand, and we were finally getting payback for all the crap the Yeerks had dished out to us.
It still didn't change the fact that we had to be cautious. There were a lot more controllers on this ship than there were us.
(We are almost there!) I saw an orange blur dart in front of us when we hit a t-section. Aerionna, of course…
(How much farther!) Zack called.
(A little more!)
(Be careful!) I called to her, then heard the sounds of Dracon beams going off.
"AERA!" Elfangor yelled.
(I am fine! DROP THE DOORS NOW!) She screamed.
(FULL STOP!) I yelled, and we came to an abrupt halt.
Too bad for them the doors didn't.
c-c-c-cree-EEEEEEEEE-CRASH!
The doors feel forward, seriously hurting my big elephant ears. But I didn't care about that.
I cared about all the squashed controllers under those doors.
"Aerionna?" Elfangor called cautiously. I heard him sigh as we all saw the orange bird circling around above us.
(Its not over!) That's when we saw all the other controllers who had escaped being crushed.
(HAHA! MORE FOR US!) Toni exploded forward, trumpeting. The rest of us soon followed.
Safe to say they didn't last very long.
(Okay, all gone?) Alex asked, looking around.
(I think so. But… now what?) Sean asked. Mostly he was asking me, he just wasn't sure which one of us was which.
(Let's go in and see how everyone is) I finally said, not sure what else we could do. We all went back to ourselves, with Elfangor sliding off my back. Aerionna pressed a few buttons, and the door slid open…
To reveal a scene of absolute horror.
It was madness!
The prisoners we left in Kay's care were now shooting back and forth with one another.
"What the hell? YAH!" Cody pushed me out of the way just before a shot missed us.
"What the heck's going on!" Toni snapped "I thought we'd taken care of the controllers!"
"We did! It's just…" Lily shared a look with Zack, and he sighed and nodded.
"Unless those are the voluntary controllers in there"
"Oh don't tell me that" I whispered, leaning against the wall and closing my eyes. How could I have been so stupid!
