This was my way of continuing The Beginning, as written by K.A. Applegate. I couldn't bare to think that they would die that way, and Cassie would have to live with the knowledge that she 'betrayed' her friends.
I Hope You like this, and this is the first of many chapters. Disclaimer: These are not my characters, they are K.A. Applegates.
The Choice
Chapter 1
As told by Jake
ZAP! Everything disappeared, and in its place was nothing but white. The Animorphs were there, well, the ones left. The other passengers on the ship were absent. As I looked around, I noticed that Cassie was here too!
"Cassie, you're not suppose to be here!" I said. I turned, and realized that we weren't dead... yet. The Elimist was standing, just watching us. He had a serene look on his face, as if he didn't have a care in the world. The ironic thing was that he knew what was going to happen, so he shouldn't have to worry if he knew.
I Have Brought Her Here. It Is Only Fitting That You Have The Choice.
"What Choice?" I asked, knowing that as always with the Elimist, it would be a big choice involving our lives.
You Are Being Given A Chance To Save Yourselves. It Is An Important Decision, So Choose Wisely.
"What do you mean, save ourselves?" asked Cassie. They were all as confused as I was. I didn't want to be the leader again. I wanted to have anyone take that responsibility from me. I knew that the Elimist couldn't interfere, but something was odd here.
Crayak Has Changed The Rules By Taking Over Ax. This Means That I Have One Chance To Change The Rules. It Means That If You Are Willing To Fight Again, Just One More Time, It Will Give You A Chance To Change History.
"Can I just say that THIS IS INSANE!" said Marco for old times sake.
"No kidding...." I said. "So your saying that we are being given the chance to fight. That's nice, but what are we fighting for?"
Your Friend's Lives.
No one spoke for a moment. We just gaped. "What's at stake though. If you give us the chance to fight, and we die, are we dead? For good?
Yes. If You Win, Rachel and Aximili Will Live. If You Win, But One Or More Of You Die, They Remain Dead, While Aximili And Rachel Return.
Everyone remained silent for awhile, before Cassie finally spoke. "We have no right to decide what happens to Rachel. Only she could decide that. Ax would have to tell us if he wanted to risk our lives for him. We need them to give you an answer....
"Hey, wait a minute," said Marco. "What about us? I mean, we were a second away from becoming crash dummies in space. What happens after we fight?"
If You Win, You Will All Be Taken To A Location Of Your Choice. If Lose, You Return To Where You Were. I Cannot Bring Rachel Or Ax To Tell You This. If You Decide To Accept My Offer, They will Accompany You.
"Well, that's not a good thing...."said Marco, an odd look of acceptance over his face. Everyone knew except Cassie that if we 'lost' we would die. Cassie would still be on Earth.
"It's the same as it always is, a vote." I declared. I Thought I knew what would happen, and I was right. A unanimous vote to go for it.
"Wait, Cassie, you shouldn't do this. You have so much to look forward to on Earth. Don't waste it...." I started, but she cut me off.
"I want Rachel back, and if I die doing it, so be it." She said. There was no arguing there.
"Are you going to give us any details on what were fighting exactly?" Asked Marco.
I Have Made A Last Deal With Crayak. You Will Be Fighting Yourselves....
"HUH?" we said in unison.
You Have Been Duplicated, And Your Minds Changed To Be For Crayak. The Only Difference Is Your Eyes. Your Duplicate's Ones Are Red. They Are Evil, And If They Live, Will Be Crayak's Minions, So Do Not Think That It Is Evil To Kill.
I was glad to hear the Elimist say that, because I was worried about Cassie, and what she would say about this. She nodded, as if knowing what he said was true.
Are You Ready?
I looked at each of my companions before saying, "LET'S DO IT!"
