"Surely a smart Kelbrid Captain like yourself sees though these lies?" This 'One' thing, whatever it was, was trying to get the Captain to believe him. It was working.
"You!" he said, looking at the Human leader. "Why are you here?"
"We where looking for our friend, who you seem to have captured."
"And are you aware of the law that says no Andalite may enter Kelbrid space?"
"Do I look like a Andalite?" Truthfully, it didn't. It only had hair on it's head, which was quite long, and it's skin was baggy and colorful, and it stood on two legs, without a tail! It was a very odd creature.
"Well, ah, you do have similar features...." Captain Argor said hopefully. A dark skinned Human stifled what seemed to be a laugh.
"Captain!" The navigater yelled. "Daelark ship approching!"
"Wha...Get us out of here and into Zero-Space, fast!" Arfor ordered. "I'm sorry, but we'll need to continue this another time...That is, if your around." The ship powered up, and jumped into Z-Space.
"Eh, let's see," The Captain mumered. "Our Semis need training. Arena, Nisha, take our, uh, guest to it's 'quarters'."
Take the guest to it's quarters? Us? Arlena looked at me nervously. That tail looked dangerous. But this was no time to be a coward. We stepped forward. Arlena went out in front of the Andalite, I went behind. She kept glancing over her sholder nervously.
"Uhm, you may stay in here." I opened the door to one of the prisoner's chambers. It wasn't much, just a small room with a bed and a table. The Andalite causiosly stepped into the room, and Arlena quickly shut the door, and I locked it.
"Well, that was interesting," I muttered.
"That thing could have taken off out heads in a flash!"
When we arrived back at the bridge, the crew was discussing food.
"What can we feed it?" Narshi, a warrior wondered.
"Maybe just thorow in some if everything?" Aktash suggested.
"How about we just ask it?" A girl Warrior, Domenica Iskill-Grove asked.
"Okay, you ask it," Leading Warrior Barkit Deyika-Starblade said. We only have three Leading Warriors on the ship, and Barkit is the only one close to becomming Captain-Warrior rank. Many say that this will be his last misson as a Leading Warrior.
"Okay, I will." It is very rare someone would agree to a mission like that. But Domenica new that Barkit was challenging her, and she was no coward.
The Captain gave her a suprised look. "Alright, take a Semi with you."
She smiled. "Okay, how about you Nisha, you can tell me about the Alien."
Arlena gave me a 'good luck' look as we walked by.
"Do you know what The Captain plans to do with the Andalite?" I asked.
"I think he just intends to keep it alive and try to contact the Yeerks and Humans."
Domenica knocked on the door, then opened it. The Andalite stood there, tail ready.
"The Captain wishes to know if you require food." She said professonally.
I eat grass, but I would not trust it from you.
"Very well then. You may starve." She of course, was bluffing. The next mprning the Andalite would wake to find a lot of fresh grass in his chamber.
