My name is Michael Fangor. I am the son of Tobias and Rachel Fangor, two of the original Animorphs. I used to never exist. But that was until my cousins and their friends journeyed back in time and saved my mom from death during the last battle of the Yeerk/Animorph war. So basically, I owe them my life, literally. My dad told me about that last fight. He said he remembered my mom fighting a pack of Controllers who had escaped from Earth. He remembered seeing the fear in her eyes as a Controller that was morphed to a polar bear was about to kill her. He told me a vortex seemed to open and through it came a black panther, lion and wolf. They took down all of the Controllers except for the few that were knocked out. One of them demorphed and my dad said he saw a remarkable resemblance between her and Jake. Dark brown shoulder length hair and penetrating eyes that were as dark as her hair. They disappeared back into the vortex as quickly as they had arrived.
At the moment, we were flying an alien spacecraft which we had hijacked in order to destroy it. A race of alien squids had landed on the roof of City Hall and began capturing the civilians for hosts to the Yeerk ordinance. Not if we could help it.
We are over the Pacific Ocean,> Ketara announced. I am activating the autopilot and setting the detonation sequence to two minutes. Will that be enough time?>
"Plenty," I said. "Let's do it."
"Do we fly or swim?" Cheyenne asked.
"We don't have aquatic morphs."
We will have to fly.>
"One minute and thirty seconds to detonation," the computer announced.
It was now or never. We either went now or got blown up with the ship. Our footsteps echoed throughout the empty halls, the remaining Calamarians that were on board had been taken care of, but the leader managed to get away. I think he said his name was Klaptar or Klepto, whatever it was, he was gone. Ketara ran ahead of us. There were forty-five seconds left.
"Ow!" Cheyenne yelled. "I sprained my ankle."
Get on my back. Hurry.>
I lifted Cheyenne in my arms and placed her on Ketara's back then I jumped on behind her. I was surprised by how strong her legs were. She galloped away at full speed, her hooves clattered loudly on the steel floor. Up ahead I saw an open door, Ketara headed straight for it, she wasn't letting up.
"Oh SHIT!" Cheyenne shrieked.
Hold on!>
She jumped out of the doorway. The wind rushed past me as we plummeted towards the ocean below. Then I opened my now formed wings and let the momentum carry me forward just inches above the water's surface.
Alright, let's head back to the mainland,> I said.
As we flew away the ship exploded. Fire and debris rained down around us.
Now it's up to the others to take care of the remaining Calamarians,> Cheyenne said. I hope Stacey's okay.>
