Cassie
********
What are you two waiting for? asked Rachel as she lifted the human controller and tossed him aside a rag doll. Fine. If you don't want to morph then it's okay. I'm more than enough to take these puny little nothing's down.
Rachel turned to face the on-coming Hork-Bajir and taxxons.
"Okay," I said to Colin. "Let's do this."
I concentrated on my battle morph. I started to grow. Coarse, dark brown fur covered my whole body. Black claws formed from my once-human hands. My face grew sharp teeth and dim-eyes that were worse than my human eyes. I stood on all fours.
I had become a Grizzly bear.
Confidence. Utter fearlessness was radiating from the bear. But deep down inside me-the human called Cassie- still felt afraid. Not for herself, but for the people who she'd have to hurt.
"Grrooowwwrrr!" I roared. I charged the nearest Hork-Bajir that was slashing Rachel from behind.
I couldn't see him that well, but I could smell and hear him. I STRUCK!!!!!
The Hork-Bajir went flying. He was down. But not dead. I could still hear weak gasps of breath.
Two more Hork-Bajir came at me. I was cut! A searing pain was coming from my shoulder. I whacked the Hork-Bajir who cut me in the head. The other one sliced at my body. I Lunged and bit his shoulder. Then I tossed him a side.
But then I felt a searing pain coming from my back. A Hork-Bajir sneaked behind me and attacked! I was going to slash him with my claws but Colin tapped the Hork-Bajir lightly on the shoulder, and the Hork-Bajir turned around and all he got was a massive fist gutted into his stomach.
HA-HA! Colin laughed. How's this for power?
Colin lifted another Hork-Bajir in the air and threw him at a another Hork-Bajir.
On my side I saw Rachel take her tusks and lift a couple of Hork-Bajir in the pile where Colin left his bunch of Hork-Bajir.
She then plowed through a bunch of small sheds. I'M RACHELZILLA!!!!! Rachel trumpeted.
Me and Colin came right after her. Colin just kept swing his massive arms around and punched anything that got in his way.
Rachel was enjoying this, and so was Colin. He was usually a very quiet kid but at the moment he was laughing and taunting the Hork-Bajir. I did join in their fun. I did not enjoy hurting other people, and I wanted out of this hellhole as soon as possible.
Let's head for the cages of humans, I suggested.
Oh yeah, Rachel replied sheepishly.
What about Allen? asked Colin.
I'll go rescue him, you guys go on ahead, I said.
I slammed on all fours and charged towards the center of the cavern. Every Hork-Bajir dodged out of the way. Taxxons slithered away not wanting to fight me either.
Tobias? I said. Where in line is Allen?
He's very close to being a new controller. You're almost there anyway. Just keep going. Uh-oh. He's already starting to morph!
I'm not close enough! I yelled back to him.
He didn't respond. I didn't see him that well, but I could hear his Hawk cry.
TSEEEER!!!
I just saw something flash down like a bullet. It hit something and then flew back up in the cavern
I started to smell the scent of a lion. Allen was almost fully lion.
Even with my dim bear eyes I could see Allen tear after the police-controller that took him in the first place. The policeman ran, but he wasn't fast enough. As soon as Allen caught up to him……well I don't want to talk about what he did.
I AM THE KING! cried Allen smugly.
Allen! Come this way! We've got to free the Humans in the cages, I told him.
Shut up Crystal!! I don't take orders from anyone, he shouted at me as he sunk his teeth into the neck of a Hork-Bajir.
I knew I should've stayed to help Allen, but I was mad at him so I decided to help Rachel and Colin.
We arrived at the cage, which held Tom.
Colin! Open up the cage, ordered Rachel.
The free hosts were yelling to us that we should free them.
Colin hesitated.
What are you doing? Open it up! Rachel ordered again.
That's when Allen arrived on the scene. No Colin, don't listen to them. Do NOT open the cage. There is a change of plans. Remember Colin? We don't need their help anymore. Now that I've seen what we can do with these morphs, we can take out anything. We don't need these weaklings to help us anymore. Let's leave them here to die.
I don't think so Allen, I said. See these morphs that we took, each of these are stronger than your morphs. We guessed that you might betray us. You can fight us but you won't win.
Allen didn't seem to angered, Maybe, but we're faster than you are. We can escape much more easily than you. Even If you escape here, we can sneak into your rooms as flies, demorph, and then kill you. Do you see? It's not just about size and strength, even I knew that. C'mon Colin let's go.
Colin hesitated again.
C'mon, let's go Colin, Allen urged.
Colin turned and started to leave.
"You can't just leave us here!" cried the voices from the cage.
Yes, we can, Allen said coldly.
But then Colin turned back around and started ripping the locks off the cage.
Colin! Stop! Allen yelled.
No, said Colin. For once, you're not the only one with power. I've seen that. Now, I don't want to be controlled by you, and you can't stop me.
Allen growled but head for the stairs.
Tom was first to step out. He looked scared, mad, and determined. The next was the kid we met at the Sharing.
He looked scared-nothing like what he looked like at the Sharing- but when he saw Rachel he gave her a loopy grin, "Since when did the circus come in town? If I'd known then I would've brought some peanuts."
Shut up Marco, and keep going, said Rachel.
Marco looked alarmed. "Rachel? Is that you? Well, well, let me just say that you're the prettiest elephant I've ever laid eyes on. So, you want to go steady?"
Rachel just lifted him up with her trunk and headed towards the stairs, "Whoa! Slow down girl, we didn't get to our first date."
We all headed towards the stairs all frightened (except Marco, he just kept making dumb jokes).
WE WERE GOING TO MAKE IT!!!!!!!!
Then we were stopped by a group of Hork-Bajir. They were holding Allen hostage. We would've still kept going, but then HE stepped out. Visser 3.
A Taxxon slithered towards the Visser and said something.
This Taxxon fool says you are wild animals, boomed the Visser. He wants to know if he and his brothers can eat you. But I know you are not REAL animals. So. Not all of you Andalites died when I burned your ship.
It took me a second to realize what he had meant. Of course! He thought we were Andalites. He thought we were Andalites in morph!.
It is time to die. he said coldly.
He turned into a hideous creature. 8 massive legs, arms, 8 heads. This creature had a thing for the number 8.
Run! I yelled.
Everyone ran up the stairs. The free humans, Rachel, Coli-. Wait! Colin!
The Visser caught him, and had the controllers hold him.
Run! he told us. Don't worry I'll be fine!
We still kept running while the Visser threw fireballs at us.
"Wow! Do you think he can do steak?" Marco said while he was running up the stairs. Rachel had to let him go because she was about demorph.
"NO!" a familiar voice yelled. "No you filthy creep. You aren't going to win this time."
It was Tom. All alone he charged Visser 3 with his fists. Visser three just lit him on fire with one of his fireballs.
TOM!! Rachel cried.
She charged the Visser and the Hork-Bajir. I chased right after her.
Suddenly the Hork-Bajir pulled something from behind their back.
Dracon Beams! They were holding them! They aimed at us, and still we charged.
Fire in five, the Visser said.
Five,
I didn't think that it would come to this.
four,
We tried fighting but it was all at lost
three,
There were so many things that I still wanted to do before I died.
two,
Like say goodbye to my parents, but all I had was Rachel.
Goodbye Rachel, thanks for being my friend, I told her.
It was my pleasure, you were a Great friend to have too, Rachel replied.
one,
They fired!! If only.………
And then time stopped.
I saw the yellow beam stop right in front of my face. The Hork-Bajir's face had cruel smiles plastered on their face. Everyone was frozen except for me and Rachel.
Whoa! What's happening? Tobias swooped down and perched on Rachel's back
Then I saw a lion and a Gorilla walking towards us. What's going on? demanded Allen.
Suddenly we all started demorphing. And pretty soon we were all human.
The air opened in front of us. Then he something appeared.
A humanoid. Two arms, two legs, and a head where a human should be. He seemed like an old man, but with a force of energy that definitely not frail. His hair was long and white. His ears swept up like an elf. His eyes were black holes that seemed to be full of stars.
And beside him was a boy.......
A/N: Did I leave you hanging? My bad.
