"A flying saucer!" I said with a laugh. Jeez, how dumb can you get? That girl must be stupider than I thought! There is no WAY that there could be an alien ship, maybe it's just a special new airplane that just happened to get lost. Still, my dad works for the government and he would have told me for sure if they invented some kind of a new airplane.
The ship slowly started to descend making me feel a little nervous. I caught a glance at the wimp. He was staring at the ship, and smiling at it. If this guy wasn't scared then why should I be? I took a glance at Colin, he also had a glance at the nerd and he gave me one of those I-can't-wait-to-beat-him-up looks.
I laughed silently to myself, because even during this strange time, Colin still wants to beat up nerds.
The ship landed about 30 feet away from us. We all just seemed to wait there for what seemed like a million years, without saying one word until the wimp broke the silence.
He stepped forward and held out his hands showing whoever was in the ship that he wasn't that he wasn't carrying any kind of weapon or anything. "It's safe," he said in a loud, clear voice. "We won't hurt you."
I know.
I turned my head back and forth looking where the sound came from. I know I heard something yet I didn't hear something. Something strange was definitely going on here. I stole a look at Colin, and he just sorta shrugged and mouthed "it wasn't me."
I turned back around to look at Rachel. She, looked at Cassie and the wuss and they both nodded to her assuring that they "heard" it too.
I turned and grabbed the little punk, "What the hell was that! What's going on here! Tell me, or else!"
"Hey, you stupid jerk! Leave him alone, he doesn't know anything more than any of us do! So quit being a dumbass!" said the hot chick Rachel.
"Hmmm, fiery huh? I like that." I said while I let go of Tobias, and walked over towards her. She didn't acknowledge that I was there.
"You know, there is some kind of a UFO standing in front of us, maybe we should try and let it come out," said Kaley, or whatever her name was.
Tobias nodded towards her, and he looked directly at the alien ship. "Can you come out?" Tobias asked in his loud, talking to-aliens-voice.
Yes. Do not be frightened.
"We won't be frightened." Tobias responded.
A thin arc of light appeared, a doorway, opened on the smooth side of the pod. The opening grew into a bright circle. And then IT appeared.
My first reaction was that this must be some kind of new breed of horse. A blue breed of horse. He stood on 4 legs. He had two weak looking arms. His face, didn't have any mouth except for 3 vertical slits. He had two eyes where they are supposed to be, and shockingly, he had two more eyes on top of horns that kept looking this way and that.
This thing didn't look anything dangerous like a bear until a saw his tail. His tail was thick and powerful, and on the end of it was a mean-looking scorpion blade that looked like it could do a lot of damage.
"Hello," Tobias said in a talking to-babies-voice. He was smiling. Everyone was, even Colin, and me but for a different reason. See we already realized that if we could haul this thing to the government, we'd be superstars. We'd be even richer and famous than we were now.
Suddenly, the alien staggered forward. He fell onto the ground. Colin and me rushed forward to help him up for two reasons. We couldn't have an alien die here , who knows when we'd get another chance? Also it would look good to Rachel.
I am dying, he said.
"NO!!!" Tobias cried. "You can't die. You're the first alien to come to earth."
I am not the first, there are many others. But not like me, the alien said. Instead, they have come to destroy you
He started to explain about the Yeerks and how they took control of people. He explained that he is an andalite, a race bent on defeating the Yeerks, and who tried to defend the planet but failed. It didn't sound convincing to Colin, or me but everyone else bought it. Still, he was a dying alien…..
There is no time. No time, and there is no hope if your people won't believe what you say the andalite said. Perhaps. . .
"What?" Colin demanded.
Go in my ship. You will see a small blue box, very plain. Bring it to me! he cried.
Tobias stayed by the andalite's side while Rachel got the box. When she got back she gave it to him.
This is something to help you fight the Yeerks. It is the power to morph into any animal you touch.
"Become animals?" snorted Colin.
To acquire a creature, you must touch it and concentrate of the animal you wish to acquire. Next you must think of becoming that animal to turn into it. But when you turn into an animal you will share its mind with you. But whatever you do you must demorph after 2 hours otherwise you'll be trapped in morph, never to be human again, explained the Andalite. Do you wish to accept this power?
There was utter silence after his words. Become animals? That was just downright nuts!
"I'll do it," said Tobias
That surprised me, that kid has never stood up to anybody in his life, let alone an entire alien empire.
"I'm with you Tobias," said Rachel.
"Me too," the black girl said.
"Me, and Colin are in too!" There was NO WAY I was gonna let the wimp have all the fun.
Good, then each of you, press your hand against one of the sides of the square. the Andalite said.
We did. Five hands, each pressed against one side. Then a sixth hand with two many fingers pressed a side. Something like a shock, only pleasurable went through me.
Go now, the Andalite said. Bug fighters have arrived
He was staring up at the sky. I decided to look also. To my shock I spotted more alien ships above us, which I could only guess, was called bug fighters. But something else was up there.
It was a ship built like some ancient weapon. There was a main part, like the handle of an axe , with a big, triangular point on the front. That part was the bridge. At the rear were two huge, scimitar wings.
Hurry, Run! Visser 3 has arrived!
A/N: Jake, here. Yes I know, I know. A lot of the quotes and descriptions are from book #1. Though I changed the qoute to a different person since Jake, and Marco aren't in this. Why, is Marco not in this? Well because if Jake never existed then, Marco wouldn't have walked home taking a short cut in the construction site. Yes, I also know that the Allen Character is incredibly mean. He's one of those snobby bullies that think they're all that. So please do not take offence. I'm just writing what I think someone like him would think about. Okay, nuff said. See you next chapter.
p.s. Hey Momo Claus! this messege is from Omega Epyon. I actually don't write ani-fics so i don't really go by an animorph name. But if you insist, i think i'll go by " Tobias".
