The next morning, I could barely move. I hadn't been able to go back to sleep after my dream woke me up. I didn't understand it. I new it must not be true, after all, my people would never do that! But something was nagging at the back of my mind. Back at the beginning of the mission, Professor Darkat had been telling us about Andalites. But as soon as somebody asked about why they weren't aloud in our space, he dismissed us.
My people weren't murderers! It must have been the Andalite's fault. Still....I shook it off. It was just a dream, I told myself.
"Hey, Nisha you aren't getting all spacy on us too are you?" Arlena asked.
"Sorry," I said. "I didn't get much sleep last night."
"Hey," She whispered. "Check out Domenica and Belrish." I looked over. They where standing very close, slowly digging.
I giggled. "They're so cute." We burst out laughing. Wander gave us a dirty look, making us laugh harder.
"Back to work girls. You where chosen for this mission because unlike most girls, you aren't all peppy."
"Sorry," I mumbled, holding in my laughter.
"Yeah, sorry Cap'n." Arlena whispered. "He sure has been acting like a big-shot lately."
"I wonder wh...." I just stared.
"Nisha?" She turned around. A orange creature flew through the air, pushing me down. I held my wrist blade out, ready for it's next attack. But then behind me, another creature. A large black one, almost Humanoid. Unfortunately, while I was watching the black thing the orange creature struck. He pushed me, rolling me closer to the Time Pool. I ran over to the edge of the clearing, where Arlena was having her own problems. A large yellow/green bladed thing, was towering above her. It was tall, and covered in blades. Luckily, they didn't look poisonous, like ours.
The orange creature bounded towards be again. As it hit me, I sunk my wrist blade into it's shoulder. I saw it flinch slightly, but it kept going. I didn't worry to much now. It would only be a matter of minuets before it started slowing. It scratched me viciously, growling. It ran forward, then it tripped. Growled again, and ran into the forest. I attempted to fallow, but even with the poison it was too swift.
I ran to help Aktash, who had an Andalite to deal with. I caught it unprepared, and slashed it. A large wound on it's shoulder. It staggered, and Aktash punched it in the head. The next thing I know, a massive black shot out and pushed poor Aktash into the time pool. The enemy quickly retreated.
Everyone stopped to breath. Belrish had a large cut on his chest, and well as several smaller ones on his face. Everyone else was beaten up, but seriously hurt.
"Where is Aktash?" Arlena asked.
I just shook my head.
"He fell in?" Tears welled up in her eyes. I nodded.
"Did we get any?" Wander asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Just then, Argor came out of the forest.
"What happened?" He asked.
"An attack. To bad you didn't hear our screams." Domenica said harshly.
"Captain, Aktash fell in the pool. We did not get any of the enemies in." Belrish informed him.
"Very well." Argor said, and then he walked away.
'What now?" Wander asked.
"We raid their camp." Belrish said. "Tonight."
The plan was simple. We sneaked in, swiftly captured one of them and left, while someone else made a distraction.
Arlena and Domenica would flash lights in the woods. They where chosen for that job because they could move quickly and silently.
Then Belrish, Wander and I would move inside, and capture one of them.
"There are the lights." Wander said.
"Wait a second...Okay now!" Belrish whispered.
We ran in front while the guard was watching the forest.
We moved thorough the halls.
"I hear breathing in here." Belrish said, leaning his head on a door. We moved in slowly. Sleeping in the corner of the room was a Andalite. But this Andalite had a very odd feature. He had no tail blade.
"Perfect!" Wander whispered.
Uhh. The Andalite began to stir.
Belrish swiftly punched him in the head, making him unconscious. Then he took his wrist blade and dug it in to the Andalite's arm. Together we dragged him out side and back to camp, where Domenica and Arlena helped us throw him into the Time Pool.
"One down," Domenica said happily. We all went inside and fell asleep.
My people weren't murderers! It must have been the Andalite's fault. Still....I shook it off. It was just a dream, I told myself.
"Hey, Nisha you aren't getting all spacy on us too are you?" Arlena asked.
