No! The yeerks
had me! I was about to be sliced and diced when…"Rachel?" I woke up. My mother
was standing over me. Hey, Rach is everything alright? You were screaming." I
glanced back at her. "Oh yeah mom, everything is ok, it was just a bad dream." "Well
ok hun. But it's time to get up. I'm leaving for work and you've got school,"
said my mom. "Ok, bye mom," I replied.
My name is
Rachel. Just Rachel. No last name. I'm sure you know why. I'm sure you know
everything about the yeerks and what's going on. Well it's all true. And the
nightmare I just had. Well, lets just say that's a routine. I got out of bed
and got me and my two sisters, Jordan and Sara, ready for school. We then left
for school.
At lunch, me and
my best friend Cassie were talking. "This food is almost as gross as Marco," I
stated. "Haha," replied Cassie. "Rachel. We need to have a meeting today after
school in the barn. Erek has some sort of major news for us." I looked at her.
"Yet again it seems that we'll be saving the world tonight. So much for
watching Party of Five."
I got through
school and immediately flew over to Cassie's. And when I say flew, I mean it.
The Bald Eagle. What a useful morph. I landed outside the barn and demorphed.
"Hey sexy." Marco obviously. "Marco, why don't you go stick a boot up your…"
Rachel, cool it. I was cut off by Tobias. "Yeah," agreed Jake. "Your
probably wondering why we're here," started Jake. "Well it's because Erek has
informed us that the yeerks are planning to make a televised appearance!"
Marco got up.
"Wait a second!" He started. "You mean to tell me that the yeerks wanna take
over the world and now television?! Well I can't just stand by and let them do
that!" "Marco, that's not the point," Jake laughed out. "The point is, is that
tonight at 7:00 P.M. they're going to brainwash the world! They've already made
a special brainwash device that will instruct everybody everywhere to come to
the yeerk pool to be infested. We have to stop them."
It was later
that night. About 4:30. Jake, Marco, Cassie, Ax, Tobias, and me We were all
flying. Flying toward the television studio where they're going to be making
the broadcast. Ok everybody. Remember our plan. Jake. Yes Prince
Jake, replied Ax. From there we were mostly quiet. We then landed outside
the studio and demorphed and remorphed. I was now a big, strong, powerful
grizzly bear. Cassie was in wolf. Jake in tiger. Marco in gorrila. Ax in his
own form. Tobias in his own form. Now
we go in big, strong. A full blown attack, Jake reminded us. Lets do
it! me of course. There's the Xena I know and love. Marco. I
ignored him. No use arguing now. With that I busted down the gate and we tore
in.
A security guard
was at watch in front of the studio door. "Andalite bandits!" he gasped. He
reached for his radio. FWAP! FWAP! Ax took care of him. His hands were now in
the ground. I looked through my bad bear vision just in time to see Ax hitting
him with the blunt of his tail blade. I then stepped up and knocked down the door
along with a piece of the wall. I stepped through followed by the others. From
there everything went wild.
A
human-controller was running for me. Wham! I whacked him. Knocked him out cold.
I saw Jake pounce on a guy. I turned around when I was jolted with a horrible
pain. A hork bajir sliced me in the arm with his elbow blade. I punched him in
his snake like head and he staggered. I then rammed into him. That alien was
not getting up. We beat up the welcoming committee and entered the actual studio.
GET THE ANDALITE BANDITS! Visser Three of course. Every time I hear his
voice I cringe. TSSWEEEE! A dracon fire. It missed Cassie by inches and blew up
the wall behind her. The vast cliff behind the studio was exposed.
A hork bajir
sliced Marco. The last I saw of that guy he was being chucked out an open wall
by Marco. I grabbed the closest camera. I threw it to the floor. It smashed
into millions of pieces. We can't let them film. But taking away their cameras
wouldn't be enough. We'd have to find the brain wash device! We tore through
everything there. Tore apart desks. Smashed cameras. Tried to find that device!
Ax said it would look like a big circular thing with black and white lines all
on it. While we did all this we still had to fight back hoards of controllers.
While the others were fighting off controllers, I tore into a room.
In the room I
saw the device. But on the other side of the room was Visser Three. I had a
choice to make. Kill the Visser or grab the device. I chose the device. I
grabbed it and then ran at the Visser. I tackled him through a wall. We were
now outside by the cliff. I had dropped the device but by now Ax had jumped out
and he now had it. The Visser went to slice off my head with his tail blade
when TTSSSEEEERRR!
A red tailed
hawk raked his eyes! Thanks Tobias! I screamed. I then put my attention
on Visser Three. I punched him in the face. He fell down as I watched Ax smash
the device into millions of pieces. He
then incinerated the pieces with a dracon beam he had stolen. All of us were
outside now. Ax aimed the dracon at the building. Fired a few shots and
destroyed it. Yes! I screamed. But all of a sudden I felt the visser's
tail blade against my neck.
ALL OF YOU!
BACK OFF OR I'LL KILL THIS ONE! AND YOU! DROP THE DRACON! I was in deep
crap now. But I wouldn't die like this. I took all my might and slammed the
Visser in the torso with my bear elbow. He fell down and I grabbed him by the
neck. I dug my claws into him. Rachel stop! it was Jake. No Jake!
I'm gonna make him pay! With that I felt a pair of claws dig into me. Tiger
claws. I smacked him off me. He went flying. He then pounced back at me. He
knocked me over and we rolled around on the ground smacking eachother with the
extreme power of our morphs. I felt him being pulled off me. I got up but he
pounced one more time! This time we went over the cliff!
I managed to
hold on to the ledge. Problem is, one hand was grasping the ledge the other was
holding Jake. Jake, hold on! I was so afraid. Rachel, grab onto my
hand. Marco. I grabbed his gorilla hand. But Jake and I weighed too much.
He managed to pull me up a little. I got back up onto level ground but I was
still pulling up Jake who was now demorphing. I almost had him up when FWAP! My
bear hand was gone! And so was Jake!
I watched as
Jake fell. Silently crying in my mind as there was a battle going on behind me.
I got up to see Visser Three cut off one of Cassie's legs. I rammed into him.
Sent him flying. I then grabbed his andalite body and flung him over the cliff.
I watched him fall. I heard him scream. And then, it all stopped. Everything
was done. I dunno how I did it. But I managed to go home. It was all my fault.
Jake was dead. Because of me!
The next day we
all met and Tobias informed us that he saw Jake's dead body down at the bottom
of the cliff. He didn't find Visser Three's though. We don't know how he did
it. But he did. Jake never had a funeral. Everyone thought he was 'missing'.
But of course we knew the truth. But we couldn't tell anyone. I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't stop
crying for weeks. I blamed myself forever. But somehow, after a long while, I
moved on. We all did. Because we have to continue our fight against the yeerks!
That's what Jake would have wanted….
