Chapter 2


Can I just say, that this is the grossest thing imagianable? I asked. Been there, done that.

Marco said. We were in roach morph. Possibly the grossest creatures in existence. All of us were

there, except Kevin, Kim, and Tobias. They were covering us from the outside. We were in the

local I-max theater. The Chee had told us that they suspected Yeerk activity. The Chee are a race

of super strong androids, created by a long extinced race called the Pemalites. They came to earth

thousands of years ago to escape a terrible disease. So, the Chee melded the Pemalites

essences with wolves. The result? Dogs. But, there is an incredible irony in the Chee. They are

capable of destroying entire cities by themselves, and would make a very powerful ally. But the

Chee are hardwired for non-violence. So they can't help us fight. But with their hologram

technology, they have infiltrated the Yeerks and provided us with sources inside.



Guys, look out. Our favorite controller, Chapman, is headed to the managers office. Tobias

said. Chapman was a high ranking controller. He is also the vice principal at our school. Alright

Tobias, keep out of site, and thanks. Ross? Jake said. Tobias' case was a sad one. There is

one major drawback to the morphing power: stay longer than two hours, and you stay forever.

Tobias is now a red-tailed hawk first, every thing else second. He was able to regain his morphing

power, but hawk is now his natural body. "Okay, Jake." Ross said. Ross was not in morph. He

had carried us into the theater. "Okay guys, managers office is straight ahead. I better get out of

here." He said. Catch up with you later, man. Jake said. Ross put us down on the floor. As

we crawled, Has anyone else noticed what our lives have become? Even a simple thing like

going to the movies involves life and death, Marco said. Marco? Shut. Up. Rachel sneered.

Oh, come now, Mighty Xena, you know you love me. Marco said. Calm down everyone, Ax,

how are we doing on time? Jake said. We have approxomatley sixty-three minutes left in

morph, Prince Jake. Ax said. Good, and don't call me 'Prince' Jake said for the thousandth

time. You're inside,



you got three guards, and Chapman in there, though. Better have Ax demorph and take care of

them. Ross said. Thanks, Ross. I thought I told you to get cover with Tobias, Kim, and Kevin.

Jake said in a way that seemed like he was annoyed, but he was really glad. Alright, we'll be in

range. Don't hesitate to call for backup, Fearless Leader. Ross said.
