"Ram the Blade Ship."
My name is Jake. And I was billions of light years from home, commanding a small ship full of people. And a red-tailed hawk.
"Ship on maximum burn." Sontorelli said.
WHAM!
We smashed thorough the Blade Ship. I fell ageist the deck...Somehow...a feeling...
Ax! Where was he...? A Yeerk....
The One....
No....
Free....
I woke up to see Marco and Santorelli staring at me.
"Jake? You okay, man?" Marco asked.
"Yeah...I'm fine Marco. Where's Menderash and everyone?"
"Menderash is at the controls, Jean is in her room and Tobias is still out cold."
Wha...Rachel?
"Tobias?"
Hey Jake. Wow, that hurt.
"Anyone have any idea what 'The One' is? Menderdash?"
"I do not know Prince Jake. It seems the Yeerks may have stolen some highly advanced technology, possibly from Kelbrid."
"Okay," I said. "Sontorelli, help Menderash with the controls, everyone else, get some rest. In about two hours, have Jean take over for Sontorelli, and about an hour after that Marco and I will take over the controls."
I sat in bed, thinking.
What did The One was Kelbrid, not Yeerk? Or some other creature? What had it said? "Save your tricks for this Yeerk fool."
It didn't make sence. It was like a semi-Crayak or something....Wait! Maybe that was it. An almost all-powerful being.
I slowly began to drift off to sleep...
In seconds the moon ray would fire, shooting from the Chrysler Building cannon with perfect aim.
Cassie's hand.
The large red button standing out on the comrol panel, shielded behind glass. The word ABORT etched on the cover.
Cassie....
The world....
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP. BEEP-BEE--
"I'm up," I mumbled, smaking my alarm clock. Oh well, time to go wake up Marco, who was most likley still asleep.
I knowcked on his door.
"Comming Dad." Marco laughed.
"Meet you up on the bridge," I said.
"Jake!" It was Jean. "Alien ship detected!"
"What? Where? It it the Blade Ship?"
"No, it's not the Blade Ship."
