I knew that the whole universe was watching us, me. I turned around and looked behind me, there they were, the only people in the universe that had ever truly mattered to me besides my own family, Jake, Cassie, Marco, Tobias, and the Ellimist. Oh how I wanted to freeze this moment, to hold onto it and live here with them forever but I knew that it was impossible.

I looked at each of them and as I did they returned a look of indifference, as though there was a fog in their mind blocking what I was…who I was. Time seemed to once again freeze; the Ellimist was giving me my chance to say hello…and goodbye.

I walked up to Tobias with tears in my eyes, struggling to keep my tears concealed. He looked at me as though he were remembering something from a dream as I began to speak. "Tobias, I once told you I knew that she wasn't Rachel, that I was positive. I am positive Tobias, if any part of your love was in the Crayak's creature then I wouldn't be here…" My voice trailed off as he stopped squinting and looked into my eyes.

"Yes…" was all he managed to let out.

"Tobias, I love you and I always will, I never gave up on you, please believe me." I said as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Rachel…" He whispered, joy and sadness was filled in his voice as he looked at me, we kissed for what seemed like an eternity then let go, just looking into each other's eyes.

I blinked and when my eyes opened I found myself still standing in front of her, of me, of The One. Was it just a trick? Was the Ellimist trying to ease my soul as I fought? No, he hadn't, it was real that was what happened and it was that love I would fight for.

"Let's do this." I said…my voice sounded different yet oddly familiar.

"Welcome back Rachel." She said with irony in her voice as I realized I was back, I was me again! I was Rachel, Xena, Mall freak, and I was going to win this battle.

"Yes, I've been gone for a while," I said with joy in my voice. "Do you wish to know what I fight for?" I asked scornfully as I felt immense jolts of power flow through my body.

"Why, do tell." She replied coldly as she began to grow into what Crayak had told me I could become…as she changed into "Super Rachel."

"Love." I said as I stood there, she looked like King Kong compared to me but I wasn't afraid. "I fight for everything that we had fought for. You might have made a deal with the Crayak but I never did."

"We made that deal Rachel dear, don't fool yourself." She replied in her monstrous voice as she pulled her fist back and began to push it forward towards me.

"You aren't a part of me, you never were. I'm not a monster; I'm not the monster that you have become. Release Ax." Her fist stopped an inch away form my face and began to shrink, within seconds standing before me was Drode.

"Very smart." He said, he sounded amused although he knew he had lost it for Crayak. "You look cocky." He sneered as I felt the presence of 5 beings behind me, standing next to me. I looked around myself and I saw them, the Animorphs, including Ax. "Don't be." His metal jaw closed as the universe fell apart.
