Sorry sorry sorry! Little late on posting this. I was sick last week and was more in the mood for sleeping then writing. Plus writers block was killing me. Well anyway here it is. I'm currently working on the next chapter so I should have it out by this week. But don't count on it just in case that doesn't happen.
Well anyway, I don't own animorphs.
======================================
Viola slammed the door shut, backing away before running into a stall. She shivered as she heard the steps of the Hork Bajir approaching. She could hear the echoes of screams, the sound of the 8 foot tall creature that approached. Viola inched closed to the end of the stall, there was no way to escape. Mother had told her of andalites dieing to avoid capture but she didn't have any options but to prolong her freedom. No, that wasn't true, she could try to call help. It was worth a shot.
::Help. Someone Please.::
::where are you?::
She couldn't believe it. The fact that someone answered was unimaginable. It wasn't even her mother. Were there really other andalites?
::I'm in the bathroom. Hurry please.::
She gasped as the door was ripped open and the Hork Bajir was staring her in the face. He just stared at her and Viola could have sworn she saw it's eyes grow wide. "Andalite! Andalite!"
She suddenly remembered the make-up she had failed to re-apply and the stalk eyes protruding from her head. She stared as a flash of black and orange tackled the Hork Bajir and splatters of what most likely was blood hit the stall and wall. The tiger turned back around to face Viola. ::Are you alright?::
It's eyes suddenly met to her face and the animal took a step back in what could only be surprise.
::Yo Jake I thought you might need some help.::
Viola turned her head as a large black Gorilla pushed through the door before it too took on the sight of her. No way that voice it couldn't be. "Marco?"
The Gorilla's eyes seemed to widen. ::Viola?::
*************************
If Ax was in aw of the speed Asgariem had taken to reach her daughter, he didn't let on. In owl morph it was a surprise how fash she could be, leaving the young andalite and cassie with the effort of keeping up. It was amazing how far the love of a child could go, Asgariem was determined to reach her daughter in time. Tobias had agreed to stay behind with Erik who was unable to come and all had agreed if the worst should happen and Viola was a controller Tobias would be able to get the man to safety in time.
::You say your friends are already there?::
Ax seemed caught off guard at the older andalites sudden need for conversation. ::Yes, they will stop the Yeerks.::
::Can you trust them to succeed?::
::Prince Jake has never failed to get all of us out alive.::
That seemed to satisfy her as she dove towards the building, letting Cassie and Ax follow. They could easily hear the screams as the flood of guests were already trying to escape and Asgariem didn't waste time to demorph before charging into the building in search of her daughter.
::The former Asgariem would have never charged in without backup.::
Cassie demorphed and spoke briefly to Ax. ::She's been on earth a long time Ax And she has a mother's instinct."
Ax nodded slightly waiting only a moment for cassie to morph to wolf before following the other Andalite inside. Asgariem was already fighting through the crowd screaming her daughters name as she occassionally paused to search. ::Viola! Viola?::
She barely noticed the grizzly she passed who seemed to notice her all to well. ::What the..Who the hell are you?::
Asgariem turned her stalk eyes to the grizzly, barely pausing as she continued to search. The familier voice of her daughter finally pierced her thoughts. ::Mom! I'm in the bathroom.::
Asgariem nodded, cantering off through the battle and leaving a confused grizzly to just stare. Rachel turned to Ax. ::What the hell was that? Don't tell me the Andalites finally decided to show up.::
It was Cassie that answered. ::Actually Rachel, that was Viola's mother.::
Asgariem fought through the battle, ignoring most of the fire, the Hork Bajir, her one mission was focused on the protection of her only daughter. Her feet pranced as she explored every door before finally coming upon the one entrance that appeared to be practically torn off it's hinges. The obvious choice. Without missing a beat she charged in, surprised to notice the presence of a tiger and Gorilla in the same room. On instincts she raised her tail blade, preparing to defend herself and her charge at the slightest provokation.
::Viola?::
"Mom?"
She watched as the two animals backed away, allowing the unmistakable blue figure of her daugter to step out of the stall and stare at her mother in near shock. "Mother, how did you find me?"
::I had help::
"Mom I'm sorry. I really am."
::Later Viola, we're getting out of here first.::
The tiger stepped forward staring down Asgariem. ::Who are you?::
::My name is Asgariem, I'm Viola's mother. If you don't mind I'd like to get out of here before anyone else makes this discovery. You and your friends I'll tolerate. The yeerks or any other human I would not be so happy to include. Viola, get on my back.::
Viola nodded in obedience as she climbed onto her mother's back, who promptly turned around and cantered out the door before Jake signalled the call of retreat. As they made their way throgh the hall Asgariem grabbed a tablecloth and threw it up to Viola who wrapped it around her body, conceiling the truth of her heritage once more.
::Andalite, giving humans rides now?::
Asgariem turned, facing the second Andalite she had met today and the last one she had wanted to, expecially at this moment. ::The abomination.::
::Thats rude. Here I come, fully prepared to remove your passenger and all you can do is display insults.::
Asgariem stepped aside, avoiding the quick motion of the Visser's tail blade. ::I prefer to keep my passenger.:: Her eyes moved back to her daughter. ::Go, find the others::
The girl nodded, jumping off her mother's back and scrambling away from the battle.
::Your protecting a mere human. This is a change from andalite pride. I wonder why she's such an intrest.:: His voice called out louder as he issued an order. ::Capture that human!::
::No!:: Her tail blade went up as she executed a stab at her apponent. The yeerk abomination merely laughed as he easily avoided the attack.
::Your out of practice Andalite. I've fought more experienced warriors.::
His own tail blade went up as he slashed forward, Asgariem could only jump back in order to avoid the attack which seemed to amuse the visser. ::This is the hope for humanity? Pathetic.::
Asgariem winced as she felt the seering pain of a dracon beam graze her leg. She stumbled and fell to her knees, losing any advantage she had. She looked up at the Visser's smug face and glared, tail still raised in defense. Visser 3 never got the chance to strike as the flash of orange and black attacked, catching the abomination off guard. Her stalk eyes turned to see Marco approach. ::Morph now!::
Nodding Asgariem didn't waste any time as her body began to change and shrink to something smaller, harder to aim at, the sparrow. She took flight as she scanned the area in search of her daghter, attempting to avoid the crossfire of dracon beams before catching the sight of a white sheet fleeing for the door. She dove, following the menagerie of animals out.
*********************
Viola took a last glance at her mother and the other andalite before finally running to find the grizzly or the tiger. There was only one andalite her mother had called an abomination, the one and only andalite actually captured by a yeerk. Her heart quickened as she began to dread the thought of her own mother risking captureand her pace quickened until she found the familier tiger. ::Jake please. My mother you have to help her!::
::What?::
::The abomination, she's fighting him.::
The tiger looked at Viola and then seemed to understand as hetook off in the direction Viola had come from. ::Get out of here!::
He didn't need to tell her twice. She looked around in desperation, the crowd was so thick she couldn't see where she was going. Which way was out? Her eyes turned upward and she caught sight of a sparrow escaping through the door. Viola smiled, it was mother, she had just shown her the way out. She nearly jumped when she felt a hand close around her arm, then turned to stare at the woman with long black hair, Margaret. From the look on Margaret's face something told her she was not lucky to run into this woman. "Visser! I have the human!"
Her panic increased and Viola tried to pull away, desperate to escape now more then ever. But Margaret had a good grip and when she finally drew a gun all hope vanished. She was surrounded by yeerks, even if she had managed to break away she would be shot on sight. Instead she picked up a futile attempt to hide in the makeshift cloak as the Visser approached, still looking triumphant even after the loss of so many potential hosts. Her panic increased as someone removed the tablecloth with a flourish, revealing the full truth of the so called human Asgariem had been so desperate to protect.
The visser seemed to grin as everyone else gasped in shock. His hand reached out, cradeling her chin in amusement. ::they day wasn't a complete loss was it Ellin 237?::
Margaret scowelled. "This Andalte abomination? What importence is she?"
::Importent enough for them to protect.::
************************
It wasn't until a couple blocks the others stopped and Asgariem finally found it safe to demorph. She looked around at the group of humans surrounding her and then at the one andalite present. Her confusion grew as she noticed one member she had failed to see. ::Where is Viola?::
Jake looked at Asgariem. "She didn't escape with us?"
Asgariem froze. ::No, I saw her, the white sheet.::
She looked back, noticing the tablecloth that lay ownerless on the sidewalk. Her gaze moved to Cassie as she began to recall the events. The tablecloth flowing, the wolf who had suddenly appeared where there was none. Her poor sparrow vision of the dark had failed to see that the white shape was not the one belonging to her own daughter.
::Andalite! Are you still there?::
Her hearts nearly stopped as the Visser echoed in her mind.
::Interesting charge you have. What is she? Some nothlit who failed to morph in time? She's importent enough to you. Maybe I should keep her if you fail to show up tommorow and propose a trade. Your life for hers. I'll be waiting for your reply.::
This wasn't happening, her only daughter, she couldn't allow this to happen. Her gaze moved over to the five others, their looks showed they too had heard the announcement. She had failed her daughter and it was public knowledge.
=====================
Okay so due to plot matters that seem to be out of my control at the moment this fic is going to be just a little longer then I planned. Still, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Well anyway, I don't own animorphs.
