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.
