"Oh no! I thought this would be a quick, in, grab the box, then out again!" I complained.
"We've got no choice," James said "We HAVE to get that box, the yeerks cant get hold of it!"
"Come on, battle morphs!" Said James.
The cloaked Hork-bajir were now into the building, we had to hurry.
"I SAID we should practice these morphs!" Said Alberto,
"But, noooooo, you said we wouldnt NEED the battle morphs yet."
"Yes well, I didnt know this would happen did I? Stop delaying, we need to get in there!"
We started to morph, I morphed Leopard, Alberto morphed Gorilla + James morphed to tiger. It was still pretty disturbing to see your friends suddenly grow way more hair than they should have + to see there ears move right up there heads, so i turned away. After a quick look up + down the road we ran towards the building.
I really dont want to do this I told James + Alberto.
You can back out if you want?
Yeah right, like i'd do that.
Come on then, lets go in..........
Agahim
"Here it is," said one of my followers.
II turned to look outside the window of the primitive human vehicle. A lone human girl came out. I recognized her as one of my Yeerk spies who's human host named Lynne, stumbled across the morphing cube in the first place and then alerted me.
"Let's get that morphing cube right now!" I commanded.
I did not care about secrecy anymore. I got out of the trasportation device and 5 fellow hork-bajir and 2 human-controllers followed me.
I removed my Dracon Beam from it's holster and fired.
TSEEEEEEEEEEW
BOOM!!!
The wooden door exploded. We rushed in. Streight upstairs. I kicked the door open. I stepped inside. A lone, human boy sat on the bed. I belive Rochelle, my second host, would have found him uit attracktive.
He was holding the Blue Box.
I lept. He dodged.I felt my tail touch something smooth and warm. It sent a tingle up my spine. I turned. Leveled my Dracon beam at the boys head.
SMASH!!!
Glass all over the floor.
And a feline creature much like the one at the pool pounced and started ripping into me..............
Daniel
I walked through the door,Lynne stayed behind and closed the door after a minute,she wasn't saying anything.
I grabbed the blue box off the dresser and was heading out of my room when a huge....I didn't know what it was,jumped at me,it had it's giant,razor blade hand on it when I yanked it away.
The creature leveled a weapon at my head,all of sudden,a leopard pounced out from behind the door.
TSSSEEEEW
The weapon went off,barely hitting my head. I looked out my bedroom door to see a gorrilla in the hallway fighting another one of those beasts.
I grabbed the box and got down on the floor. I started to crawl down on the floor to try and get out when a huge foot came down in front of me,I grabbed the foot and held onto it for a second,the huge monster went into the same kind of mode that Walton went into.
I saw my chance to run, but somehow i couldn't forget the thought of myself starting to turn into walton.
Suddenly my hand started to itch. I was becoming Walton again!
But instead of trying to stop it i decided to let it happen.
Slowly,I started to get smaller,I grew shaggy fur out of my head, legs, arms and tail....tail? Woah! I had a tail! My neck got shorter,my clothes fell to the floor. Pretty soon, I WAS walton.
I WAS HAPPY! HAPPY! HAPPY HAPPY!
I stopped to sniff. Intruders! Intruders!
Ooo! Some dog is peeing outside.
I ran out past the big lumbering beasts and went outside to play.
Caitlin
Caitlin had escaped the yeerk pool safely with Kyle, thinking that Joey and Lauren were right behind them but she was wrong. "What do we do?" I asked quietly as I paced back and forth, watching Kyle sitting down on the bench, trying to think things through.
"We can't go back in, it would be suicide..." He said more to himself than to Caitlin. They had barely escaped with their lives and were chased out of the store. They had to cut across a few alleys and double back before they knew that they were safe and that they could demorph back into their human selves.
"We can't just leave them there!" Caitlin stated impatiently, looking at kyle firmly. "I won't leave anyone behind. I refuse to just give up!" tears swelled around the corners of her eyes and her face reddened. This was the side of her that she hated most, the weak little girl that set her apart from the rest.
"I know...we should probably go and alert the others. We need to find Cassie and Marco right away."
Caitlin shook her head, looked at the sky then looked back at Kyle. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Kyle was looking at her as though she were a complete lunatic.
"We should probably..."
"No, after that, you said Ax, what did you mean by Cassie? Marco?" She demanded from him but only got a bewildered look in return.
"I never said those names, you must be imagining it." Caitlin sat down on the bench and held her head in her hand, trying to hide the throbbing.
** "Until then we fight." "Yes prince Jake." "Don't call me prince jake." "who are you ellimist, who are you that play..." "translation: we win, you lose." "I am Aximilli-Esgarouth-Isthill..." "Just tell them we're animorphs..." "Idiot teenagers with a death wish" **
So many thoughts and images ran through Caitlin's head. She had no idea where this was coming from or if she was just crazy and it was all really just in her head. "Cailin, are you alright?"
** "Ram the blade ship." "You fight well human." "I did not choose you to be one of the six..." "Cassie the anomaly..." "Anomaly.......sub temporarilly gounded....can see through the walls..." **
"Caitlin?" Kyle looked at her concerned.
"what? Yea, i'm fine." Caitlin shook her head and smiled weakly. "Let's go find the others." Kyle got up and started to run towards that kid's house when he turned back to see Caitlin standing there. "Why are you running? i know a better way there." She smiled insanely as she pointed up towards the sky.
Alberto
"ARGH!" i growled as a hork-bajir sliced my left arm off.
I still managed to punch the hork bajir with my right arm.
He went down.
hard.
I saw James the tiger getting 3 timed.
He was fast, but not that fast. He dove into the nearest hork-bajir and bit his throat off.
But the 2 other hork-bajir were already on James slashing madly.
I rolled to him and picked up my left arm, threw it at one of the hork-bajir and caught him off gaurd. I lept and headbutted him in the stomach.
In the corner of my eye i saw james barely managing to hold on, but had enough strength to cut the other hork-bajir's throat with his sharp deadly claws.
I put my hand on the hork bajir i headbutted, on his throat and sqeeezed the life out of him.
The next thing i knew i was growling in pain. The hork-bajir i punched in the stomach before got up and sliced my back.
I did a swinging backfist but was sliced again in the chest. but luckily for me a leopard managed to jump on his back.
Need help? Helen asked.
um...i think you're the one to talk now, i said.
2 hork-bajir were coming after her. i was gonna ask about what happened to the human controllers but i pretty much thought up of what helen did to them.
Where's..the...ug...box? James asked weakly.
It's gone. and so is Daniel, Helen said.
aw crap... i said.
Ug..then we got to leave. me and Alberto are hruting and need to demorph, let' s retreat!
We ran like hell after that. I found the strength to carry james with my hand out the door.
Helen followed closely.
The hork-bajir weren't coming after us for some reason. I turned around. and i saw a dog..Daniel's dog start barking it's head off at the hork-bajir. I think the Hork-Bajir thought it was another andalite bandit. and that puppy wouldn't live that long.
now's our chance! said james. go!
I'm sad to say my immediate response was. YES! FREEDOM!
But it's survival of the fittest and no matter what. we had to survive.
It was basically getting dark. about 7:00. we hid behind some alley.
We demorphed and all our wounds were healed.
"I have an arm again!" i exclaimed.
i was gonna exclaim some more but i heard a barking sound.
and there...was Daniel's dog. barking at me...
But that wasn't the strange part. The strange part was that it had the blue box!
"Daniel?..." Helen asked.
