Animorphs
has so sadly ended, and for most of us it was our favorite series to read from.
That's why I am giving a salute to this beloved series. Thanks for an overall
great set of stories KAA. Now the song is "Renegades of Funk" ( full-length,
not the crappy radio version) and It's
meant to be a theme for the entire saga.
SO ARE YOU READY?!!
Earth:
2025
Before the music even starts, we come to a night scene.
We hear the sound of multiple shovels striking the ground and tossing the dirt.
A closer shot shows humans and Hork-Bajir are doing the work. A few Andalites
pace excitedly as they watch the people dig. Suddenly, a beautiful white glow
begins to emanate from the ground. There is a chorus of gasps.
Keep digging! We're almost
there! An Andalite yells happily. More furious digging and then, the last
of the dirt falls away.
No matter how hard you try you can't stop us now. Slowly, soft at first, we
hear the music come on. A face shot of all the participants, human, Hork-Bajir,
and Andalite looking awed
No matter how hard you try
you can't stop us now
We're the renegades of this
atomic age
They all cautiously put a hand out to the beautiful, glowing orb.
This atomic age of renegades. the glow extends to all of
them. A man manages to say in a trace-like tone,
"It's time itself….."
History an Andalite adds as
the music gets louder.
We're the renegades of this atomic age The camera does a slow
circle of all the hands pressed to the Time Matrix.
This atomic age of renegades. Then with the abrupt arrival
of the beats, the camera does a sharp zoom on the Time Matrix.
Since the prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Ket Shows clips from Ellimist's life including his
creation of the Time Matrix.
Right down to the Andalite ages, the galaxy kept goin
through
changes. Hundreds of timelines and
star dust whirls together and solidifies into a perfect white orb.
And the Yeerk Empire came, and times continued to
change. Flash to the Time Matrix,
deposited in an alien desert. Some aliens spot it and come up to it, curious.
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades. They stroke it and peer at
it.
Like Elfangor, Dak Hamee, Edriss 562, Tobias As it says there names, pictures of them are conjured, fuzzy and
white around the edges.
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades It shows the
Time Matrix being traded to some excited Skrit Na. The ship takes off.
We're the renegades of Space The camera zips through a
tunnel of time-space.
We're the renegades of Space
We're the renegades of Space It pops out into normal
space, arriving at a large planet with deep. misty valleys ( wonder where this
is…)
We're the renegades of Space
From a different solar system, many many galaxies away Shows Aldrea and her family
making contact with Dak
We're the force of another creation, a new galactic revelation Multiple Yeerk ships arrive
And we're on this cosmic mission to help the others listen Flash to Aldrea and Dak
running after Aldrea's family is murdered
And cruise from land and land, singing electronic chants
like
Freedom nation It flashes to a horizon just
beyond the constructed Yeerk Pool
Revelations A few Controllers peer at the horizon
Destroy our nations They see Aldrea and Dak riding out in front.
Destroy our nations They all gape in horror and soon everbody's turning
their heads
Destroy our nations The procession enlarges with the arrival of the Arn
monsters
Destroy our nations The free Hork-Bajir jump form the trees and the
attack ensues
Destroy our nations The picture grows fuzzy again and it flashes
Destroy our nations Again the camera zips into
the space-time tunnel and arrives in the future showing an Andalite Dome Ship
Now renegades are the
people, with their own philosophies Camera shows Abron joking with Elfangor
They change the course of history camera goes to Abron lining
up the target to hit the Skrit Na ship
Everyday aliens like you and me Loren holding a shredder as
Elfangor and Abron board
We're renegades, we're the people Elfangor fighting his way
through the Controllers on his way to rescue Loren
With our own philosophies
Elfangor
disobeying Alloran's order to kill the Yeerk prisoners
We change the course of history Elfangor
in battle with the Yeerks
Everyday aliens like you and me C'mon!
We're the renegades of Space The Jahar spins around out
of control
We're the renegades of Space Esplin and Elfangor vying
for control of the Time Matrix
We're the renegades of Space Loren
joins too. Esplin, Elfangor and Loren all have their hands pressed to the Time
Matrix.
We're the renegades of Space A flash of blinding white
that consumes the picutre
( this
part goes really fast)
Poppin', sockin', rockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop Now Elfangor and Loren
wander around the nightmare universe
Cuz where we're goin there ain't no stoppin'- Loren running in dread from her mockery mother
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Cuz where we're goin there ain't no stoppin'- Elfangor and Esplin facing
off at the hyper spiral ( camera shoots to the patchy sky)
Poppin', sockin', rockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop- Fighitng off the Mortrons
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop - Again we zip through
space-time and arrive at Earth
We're the renegades of Space Elfangor's fighter lands and the Animorphs to-be gather
We're the renegades of Space Elfangor presents the box,
camera goes to show the various looks of surprise on their faces
We're the renegades of Space They all look to Jake and he
nods
We're the renegades of Space Camera shows the box glowing
as each of their hands touch it.
We're the teachers of the space They all look up in horror as the Yeerk fighters
land
And not of empty knowledge They all take off and run
like hell
We're blessed with the force and the sight of the future the camera follows Jake as
he weaves through the concrete maze, running
With the ships and the fights and the people and our minds
Cuz every time
someone pops into the battle, we
get fresh
C'mon! The music becomes a grating, annoying sound. This is where the villains
are shown for their equal might. Shows Elfangor rising shakily to his feet as
Visser Three stands before him.
There was a time when our galaxy V3
brutally murders Elfangor as the Animorphs cry out in horror
Was simmering in relative
peace Shows
Edriss inspecting the pictures of humans ( Loren and Chapman) with a sly smile
People would gather from all around Edriss flanked on either
side by guards on her own ship facinf V3's ( a sorta little face off between
her and V3 #5)
To get down to the big sound Ax and V3 tail fighting. V3 knocking Ax to the ground and raising
his tail in a final strike.
You didn't have to be a renegade those days Shows Taylor's vicious grin
as Tobias screeches in his cage.
Or have to throw a man to the dance floor The animorphs running for
their lives from the Eight monster ( from #1 The Invasion)
