The Confrontation
Eyes of the Enemy
Quote: A human has only 2 eyes. Both are in front of the face. It is the same with most Earth species. These human eyes are very similar to our own main eyes. But humans seem to be fascinated by my stalk eyes. One of the humans, Marco, has said that they "creep him out big time." I believe this is a compliment. -from the earth diary of Aximilli-Esgarrouth-Isthil. (book #8)
My name is Aximilli-Esgarrouth-Isthil. I am an Andalite; an Andalite trapped for many months within this being called "The One". It is the most gruesome thing I have ever experienced. Much more than being a slave of the now defeated Yeerk Empire. It is quite similar to being a slave of the Yeerks, though. But, more twisted and vile.
This being can read my thoughts and use them against his or her enemies and I cannot unless it loses its concentration or it simply lets me. But that is not the whole reason why this is worse than being a Yeerk's slave. It is because I am not the only being trapped and merged with this creature, there are others trapped like me, some primitive races, or sentient creatures all slaves of "The One". I could sense them but I could not communicate with them or vice versa. This foul beast has no real form, or at least a form I can see, all of the trapped lifeforms make up this creature's body.
"My liege, we have managed to capture some of the fools who thought they could defeat you so easily," said Makish-Two-Six-One-Seven of the Haon Fliar pool.
I had no idea of what The One's plan was except to capture Prince Jake. All The One had to do was wait because he knew Prince Jake would stop at nothing to save me. I had hoped that Prince Jake would give up trying to find me, so he could save himself, but The One and I knew that Prince Jake would follow The One until the ends of the Universe. It would only be a matter of time before Prince Jake would find The One.
I or should I say we, were in the base of The One on the bluish surface planet called "Planet Bryog". It was a standard Yeerk Base with a few modifications for the Human-Controllers. All the bug fighters were in a different hangar. We were standing in the hangar of the new ship that Prince Jake and the others were on. The human-Controllers had spent the whole night repairing the new craft, and the Blade Ship.
"Good, bring them to me. Let's see if they are worthy to merge with me," said The One.
And then in a private sinister voice he said to all of us, Soon you will have company
Then the Grosanas brought an Andalite who I recognized as myself, but could only be my shorm Tobias, a Earth creature called a leopard, and a single human inside The One's base and put them in front of him. The Grosana are a race mixed by many Earth animal DNA, such as the eyes of a Hawk and Owl, and the strength of a gorilla, and the Vine DNA growing throughout the Planet Bryog. The Grosana have no intelligence, except to fight and follow orders.
The Grosana held down Tobias' Andalite ready tail by their massive fists and contained the leopard.
I could feel The One's disappointment, as it was Tobias presence and not Prince Jake.
"Demorph in front of the unstoppable One," demanded Makish to the Tobias, and the two others.
"Yes, please. Demorph in front of me," said The One. "Your demorphing time is almost up, and besides even if you stayed trapped as what you are now, then it would be a greater prize then your worthless true forms."
As Tobias and the leopard began to reluctantly demorph, The One began to read their thoughts and to taunt them.
"So, the bird nothlit is here. Trying to save your uncle? Too bad you've failed," said the one
The half-morphed red-tailed hawk just gave The One a piercing stare.
"There is more Animorphs I see," said The One as the leopard fully transformed into a human female with long black hair, about the age of the other Animorphs.
The human female did not respond, because she didn't have to. The One could read not only her mind, but all of the people in the room.
"Ah, here is the most interesting of you all," said The One as he motioned towards the single non-morphed human male.
He pointed a finger towards his head. My head of which he stole. "Do you know who that human male is?" he asked me. "It is your first-officer Menderash. I cannot believe the idioticy of your Andalite people. He trapped himself as a human to help save you. Looks like you're a popular fellow."
The One used his stolen voices to laugh. A diabolical laugh. "You are all fools, to think that you could save your friend. The only way to free him is for me to let him go, but I would never do that, it is such a nice body."
The human-Controllers laughed.
"Makish! Bring me the 'special' tem," said The One suddenly. He turned towards Tobias. "I have had this in possession for quite a long time. I have not found its use but thanks to you r Andalite friend, he has showed me the way for taking over the universe!"
Makish came back holding the special item. It was no bigger than a z-space transponder. A crystal, making a low humming noise. It's apperance seemed harmless but next to the Time Matrix, this could be the most dangerous, and horrifying item ever.
The human female, and my first officer looked at it as if it were nothing. But we, the Animorphs were the only living being to know what the crystal was, or how dangerous it would be.
A PEMALITE CRYSTAL! cried Tobias. NO!!!! YOU CAN'T!!
"Yes, I can," he said. "And I will use it to destroy the Andalite homeworld, for revenge of what they have done to me and my people."
Your people? said Tobias.
"My people," The One confirmed. "I am the only survivor of the race called The Five. And with this crystal I will go to the Planet Earth and reprogram The Chee and use them to be the ultimate warrior race!!!!"
Horror struck, was Tobias and I. Menderash and the human female, were puzzled because they do not know The Chee. And how powerful and destructive they would be if reprogrammed to do violence.
Unexpectantly, Menderash spoke, "I do not know of this "Chee" that you speak of. Even this "Chee" can destroy the Andalite world, it won't matter, because you have no way of arriving to Earth safely, without getting shot down by Andalite starships."
"But I do have a way," said The One. "It is thanks to you that I have one."
He pointed behind them, and showed them the Yeerk-Version of my own ship, that the Animorphs arrived on.
Suddenly, the Female Human spoke in a very strange way, "Even if you use de ship, will they not hail you, on screen? If they spot you will be shot down. They governments will recognize your human controllers also."
"Yes, I have thought of that. I had wished of having Jake the Yeerk Killer here himself so that I would merge with him, and let my servants acquire him. But since he's not here I'll have to do the next best thing"
He tapped into my brain. He pictured Prince Jake in his mind. Soon afterwards he had become a young version of Prince Jake. In actuality it was Prince Jake. I had acquired him a long time ago in the early start of the Yeerk-Human war. It was Prince Jake's body when he was at least 13 human years old, so The One was not certain this would work.
I was angry, I did not wish for me to be part of his plan to destroy the Universe. I had tried everything in my power to stop him, but it was too much. His mind was too strong.
Menderash, and the Female looked shocked, but Tobias did not. Partly because he was a hawk and cannot make facial expressions, and also because he knew I had morphed Prince Jake previously before.
"I know you are thinking what am I going to do with you," he said as he prepared to board the new Yeerk craft with a few dozen human-controllers and Garanas. It was strange to hear Prince Jake's voice. The rest of the Garanas, and Human controllers prepared to go into their bug fighters.
"Well, I think that I'm going to let you.........."
A/N: HMMMMMM???? I wonder? What will The One do? Will he let them live......or die! Well, I don't know because I'm not writing the next chapter! Tee hee! This is Marco the Magnificent by the way. I know I said Jake would do the next chapter but he's busy doing a lot of stuff. First announcement Here's the deal about the last chapter though. DO NOT turn away just because of the ending of the last chapter!!! Let me tell you this there will be more twists and turns along the way!!!!! And here's the last announcement! Jake the Yeerk Killer and me are planning to have 2 different endings to this story! Yes, count 'em! It's 2 endings! Why? Because some people might not like the ending so we planned to do 2 different endings so if you don't like one of them then read the other. If you hate both of them..............WRITE YOUR OWN!!!!!!!!!!!
