Well, Dave and Matt did it. They both touched the blue box, received the power. Matt has a dog at home, so we walked over that way to acquire it.
"Hold up." I said. "Look at that raccoon, it just doesn't look right."
Matt and Dave looked over.
"Yeerk?" Dave asked. I would have to agree. I saw an animal with rabies before. This was nothing like normal. It just looked… evil.
"Distract it!" I told them as I began to morph. I don't think a cat would do much, but it would be better than nothing. As I was morphing David and Matt picked up some sticks and started swinging at the raccoon. He didn't act normal. He was avoiding the stick and snapping at it, not normal at all.
Let me at it! I said when I was ready. The raccoon didn't stand a chance, especially when I had a sneak attack. I ran in and bit in the legs before it had a chance to respond. It fell over, not being able to run as I started to de-morph. I watched the raccoon. It didn't de-morph, so it was not a Yeerk, but it didn't try to run, so it wasn't a normal animal either.
"Anyone want to acquire it?" I asked him. Before the words were even out of my mouth Dave bent over a grabbed it. It slowly closed it eyes, seemed to fall asleep. A few seconds later he pulled his hand away and the raccoon sprang back to life. It still didn't move though.
"It's just not right." Matt said watching it.
"Let's go." I told them. We got to Matt's house and Matt acquired his dog.
"Whose next?" He asked.
"I don't think either of us should acquire it. Then we both have one morph." I told them.
We agreed, and went out to search for Jake and the others. We would need to tell them what was happening.
