Chapter 2
Introductions and Plans
Author's Note: Hi! Sorry about how confusing the earlier chapter was. And tell me in a review if you need clarification on anything, please! This chapter is kind of boring, but the next one will be full of action, I promise! And I know, the demon things a little corny, but hey! My mind isn't all that great when it comes to original characters that I made. And, I know, they can cast black magic spells from The Slayers, but come on! Be nice, it's my first fic. Sorry if I can't portray the Animorph's personalities all that well. I'm not good at that kind of thing. Give me a break! I'm half asleep!
Disclaimer: Do I hafta do this again? I will anyways....I don't anything in this except for the characters that I made up, is that good enough for you? That means I don't own Animorphs, Tenchi, DBZ, KoRn, or the Slayers blah blah blah.
"Who are you?" Rachel asked. She was sitting in the barn with Cassie, Jake, Marco, Ax(in human morph), and Tobias(a hawk, as always). She was on a pile of hay next to a cage that held a bobcat, which was pacing back and forth as much as it could in the small metal box.
"You're Rachel, I presume." One girl said. She was about as tall as Rachel, and slightly thinner. She looked around seventeen years old. Her skin was soft and pale white, and she had a long, elegant neck. Her hair was the color of a raven's feathers, and ended in very small bouncy curls at her shoulders. She wore a longs sleeved black dress, with several silver necklaces that dangled down over the front of her chest. Her black high heeled boots had a silver buckles, and reminded Rachel of a witch's. She looked like a creature of the night, but the most disturbing thing about her was her eyes. They were yellow, and the black pupils were slits, like a cat's eyes. Whenever their gaze fell upon Rachel, she could feel herself shudder.
"How did you know my name?" Rachel asked, surprised.
"I know many things." She replied calmly.
"What are you? Some kind of telepathic witch?" Marco joked and rephrased Rachel's question.
"You may call me Cassandra," she said and sighed, "I suppose I'll have to explain this to you. It's rather farfetched, and I don't think you'd believe me, but I'll give it a try."
"Here we go again. I hope she doesn't go into the whole Darklords speech like she did last time." Another girl said. This girl was wearing a dark sweater, jeans, and black tennis shoes. She had brown eyes, black hair, and was about as tall as Cassie. She looked Chinese. She was rather plain compared to Cassandra.
"Shut up and let me explain, Alex," Cassandra snapped, "OK, where do I start? Oh yes. There has always been a source of evil in this universe, just like there has always been a source of good. The purpose of the primal evil was to return everything to what it was before, chaos and nothingness. The purpose of good has always been to stop evil. All living things are born neutral, and have a choice of doing good or bad. Now, I know that there are some pretty mean slugs out in the galaxy today, but they're far from evil. They're just naughty. The evil that has existed for all of eternity is called 'The Shadow'. The good that has always balanced that evil has no established name, but some people call it their gods.
"Long ago, many centuries in the past, the Shadow created minions to wreak terror upon the world of the living. A few minions of that evil decided that they were tired of doing all the hard work by themselves and wanted to have a little fun. So, they took exactly ten thousand humans, and scanned them all. The ones with the seed of evil inside of them were taken, and the rest were killed. The minions took ten humans, and turned them into demons. Today, these once-human servants of evil are the ten highest ranking demons that the Shadow has to offer. Now, there are one thousand demons that were once human. If a demon is lucky and does a terrible deed for evil, they are granted immortality, and if they are even luckier, eternal youth."
"So, do you want us to fight that evil?" Cassie asked.
"No. I was merely giving you a brief lecture on the history of my people. I am a demon." Cassandra smiled.
"No way." Marco said.
"Tell me, could a human do this?" Cassandra said and closed her eyes. Rachel blinked, and when she opened her eyes Cassandra was gone, and in her place was what looked like a black shadow. It wasn't in the shape of a human, but rather just a blob. It moved over the floor, and when Rachel blinked again Cassandra was standing behind her.
"How did you..." Rachel trailed off.
"I can turn into a shadow. Do you believe me now?" Cassandra said. She looked at the third girl who was with them, sitting next to Alex. The girl had short light brown hair that fell just below her chin, green eyes, and was pretty normal. She was the same age as Alex and Cassandra. She wore a T-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. She didn't look evil like Cassandra and Alex did.
"My friends and I were sent here by a strange fellow. He said that your dimension and mine were going to link somehow, and the evil in your world is going to invade my world. I couldn't let that happen, so I let him bring me here to wipe out that evil. I think he called himself Ellimist." Cassandra said.
"Him again," Marco groaned, "I've had as much of that guy as I can handle for one lifetime."
Tobias said jokingly.
"So, when do we get to kill some slugs?" Alexandra inquired.
"Look! It's Xena Jr.! Rachel, you have a friend to talk to now." Marco joked.
"You're so unfunny, Marco." Rachel said, tossing her hair over her shoulder.
"Guys, lets try to be serious." Jake said sternly.
"Well, I know about the Yeerks, and about your power, so let's just go find that pool and destroy it." Alex said impatiently.
"Yeah, one of my Dragon Slaves outta total the place." Cassandra said.
"Dragon Slave?" Ax asked.
"Yeah. It's a black magic spell. The third most powerful that exists. It can totally destroy a city in one blast." Cassandra smiled evilly as she thought about destroying a city.
"Don't forget that it is the most powerful one that can be cast without using the power of L.o.N." The brown haired girl added.
"Thank you, Malarie." Cassandra replied.
"Who is the L.o.N?" Jake asked.
"The Lord of Nightmares, only the single most powerful being there is. Of course, I don't know if that's the case in your world." Cassandra told them.
"Is the L.o.N. good or bad?" Cassie asked.
"She's neither." Alexandra replied.
"So, when do we get to go fight?" Rachel said.
"Yeah. Let's go destroy stuff!" Cassandra agreed.
"Settle down, we have to make a plan first." Jake said.
"Prince Jake is right. If we attack without a plan, we would surely be destroyed." Ax informed them.
"Don't worry, I may like to kill, but I don't let it get the best of me and inflate my head." Cassandra smirked
"My plan is simple. You tell us where to base is, and I blast it." Alex said.
"Alex, you know that plan never got you far." Cassandra said.
"Yeah it did. Why do you think I'm an Immortal now?"
"It didn't get you eternal youth, you had to achieve that with a REAL plan." Cassandra snickered.
"Oh, you wanna fight, huh?" Alex said, standing up.
Tobias told them.
"Woah...how'd you say that? Can you go into people's minds, too?" Malarie asked, looking up at the hawk which was perched in the rafters.
Tobias said.
"Oh, I guess you can't use mind control like they can." Malarie said, disappointed. She nodded her head towards Cassandra and Alex, who were glaring at each other fiercely. Then Cassandra laughed and sat down. Alex sat down too.
"Well? What about my plan?" Alex asked.
"We don't want to kill everyone in there. Some of them deserve to be saved." Cassie said sadly.
"No problem! I've got a plan that'll save a lot of innocent people." Cassandra said with a smile.
"You do?" Cassie asked.
"Of course. I'm not immortal for nothing am I? I use this," Cassandra pointed to her head, "Ok, so here's the plan. You people don't really have to do anything except get us there. Alex and I will do all the dirty work. I'll get into the minds of the guards and make them think we're important Yeerks, coming in for a feeding. Then, Alex and I will enter the pool and go into a few minds, making those nasty slugs think that they need to feed. Sooner or later about half of the yeerks that aren't in the pool will have gone into that festering bowl of sludge. Alex will be saving the free humans by teleporting them out. After that, we'll just blast the pool. We'll get all of the yeerks that are still in a host body and starve them or something."
"You can do that?" Rachel asked.
"Of course I can! Do you doubt me?!" Cassandra yelled angrily.
"I don't really trust that plan." Jake said apprehensively.
"Why not?" Cassandra questioned and raised her eyebrow, warning them not to disrespect such a high ranking demon.
Tobias said.
"Too easy?! Almost everything's too easy when your this powerful. I've destroyed trees stronger than those yeerks, and they were more heavily guarded too." Cassandra said, close to becoming extremely angry.
"I know, those Jurai trees are tough." Alexandra said.
"Well, I say we do it." Rachel said.
"It's worth a try." Cassie agreed.
"What do you think, Ax?" Jake asked.
"I will do anything you say, Prince Jake."
"Well, I'm outvoted anyway. Let's try it." Jake at last agreed.
"All right! Let's go kick some alien ass!"
Author's Note: Sorry if it was bad, but I'm pressed for time right now. I'll write Chapter 3 as soon as possible! It'll be good, I promise! *dives behind a brick wall as various items of garbage come flying at the bad author* Gomennasai!!!!!!
