Chapter 6-Marco
We were all still laughing as we entered the bridge. Rachel was right in what she said though, wait, did I just think that? Wo, twilight zone. When I looked up at the screen, there was the face of an Andalite and a human. The Andalite looked sort of like Alloran, except he was dark blue, had turquoise eyes, had muscular arms, and an extremely large tail blade. The woman was beautiful, for her age. Godiva looked a lot liked her. This woman was tall, had black hair that ran past her waist, and looked intensely serious-like. She cocked her eyebrows at us and smiled when she looked at Godiva. These two were Godiva's parents.
Hello, Godiva the Andalite said.
"Hello, father" Godiva replied. She whispered something in Ax's ear.
That is King Dralu and Queen Sarah Ax said. If they address you, Princess Godiva recommends that you call them that and show great respect towards them to get on their good side. Jake nodded at Godiva. She turned back towards the screen.
"Father, is everything alright"?
Yes, daughter, we just wanted to talk to you and the animorphs, as well as Prince Aximili.
"Godiva" the woman began, "I have something we must discuss when you return, so come straight to see me, alone". She emphasized the word alone. Godiva looked puzzled, but nodded her agreement. I guessed what the reason was; she probably wanted to talk about Ax and us.
How long have you been fighting King Dralu asked.
"Three years" I answered.
Who was your leader?
"Jake" Rachel replied.
Jake, did you loose anyone during your fight?
I thought he was going to loose it. He was right beside me and I could tell he missed Cassie, talking about her didn't help. I guess Ax saw this too.
King Dralu, if I may Ax asked with admiration.
Go on, Prince Aximili.
We lost one warrior during our fight, her name is Cassie. Prince Jake and her were close.
Prince Jake?
While on earth, I was an aristh. Prince Jake was and is worthy of the title prince. He was and is my prince.
King Dralu looked Jake up and down and Jake looked at King Dralu. I guess the king was looking to see if Jake's face showed any anger, fear, or sadness. It didn't.
He does seem worthy. Prince Jake, if I may, may I ask a personal question?
The other Andalites on the ship looked profoundly surprised. I guess it was strange for the king to call a human prince and even stranger for the king to ask a human for his permission. But he was married to a human, so I guess he understood and respected us.
"Yes, King Dralu".
How did you feel for this human?
"I loved her".
Than I know that you are worthy of your bestowed title. Do you still possess the 'morphing cube', as I am told you call it? I'm guessing he had seen that Jake was trying to be strong and like a leader.
"No, the Yeerks now have possession of it".
The king jerked back with surprise. As did every other Andalite, except Ax, in the room. I could tell they were upset at this news.
How did the Yeerks get a hold of it King Dralu asked, saying the word Yeerks with much more hatred than I expected.
"We gave it to them" I said sarcastically. Every pair of eyes was on me, each glaring at me.
"What, can't you take a joke"?
"Marco" Rachel said through gritted teeth, "shut up".
"They stole it" Jake answered, about to kill me.
How?
"We were trying to give the power to more humans to help us fight when my brother's Yeerk stole it".
Did you try to prevent him from doing so?
"Of course, but I was prevented from stopping him".
Not that it made a difference. All of the Andalites were still fuming, but hey, they would get over it. I hope, I mean, I wouldn't want them killing us over it.
All of my further questions will be asked when you arrive. Godiva will bring you to me. That is all, you all, if you wish, may leave.
We left, of course. Prince 'Peehead' followed Godiva and made sure Ax couldn't get near her. I did another loser sneeze. I mean come on; even I knew when a girl wasn't interested in me.
" Prince Penar, I have checked my schedule". We all listened in silence. "I will accompany you to the estreen showing". Penar glared at us all in triumph.
I will always beat you, Aximili. Princess Godiva is just one more thing I shall have and you shall not.
Princess Godiva is not a possession Ax replied angrily.
As I said before, yes, she is. Penar turned to Godva.
I must return to my duties, your highness. I shall contact you though.
"I look forward to it" Godiva answered. Penar walked away.
"Not" she added when he was out of hearing range.
"Why don't you just tell him to bug off. Or better yet, let me do it" Rachel said hot headily.
"He is known for a temper, well, all of my friends and I know it. He would do anything to win me, anything", she looked at Ax and he nodded. We all knew what that meant. "Though I shall never marry him, I will not have more bloodshed on my hands".
"What bloodshed is on your hands" Rachel asked skeptically. "Have you killed anyone"?
"Yes and no. I have ordered it done and have not prevented it, but with my hands or the power of morphing I have never killed anyone. That does not mean I don't have just as much bloodshed on my hands".
"You couldn't have ordered 17,000 helpless Yeerks to be killed like I did" Jake said bitterly.
"No I haven't" Godiva replied. She paused. "I have to go to my room, I will see you all later".
As she walked off, I heard her say something no one else heard.
"I haven't killed 17,000 Yeerks, but I have done nothing to prevent the deaths of my fellow Andalites". I had to follow her after that.
"Godiva" I said when she didn't notice me following her and we were at her room.
"Marco" she said in surprise. "What are you doing here"?
"I heard what you said, before you left".
"You did," she asked half-nervous half not caring.
"Yes".
"Come in" she sighed.
We walked in her room and sat on her bed. I looked at her walls. It was flashing pictures of a dusk sunset. I could tell she was weary.
"There are a few things you should know" she began.
"What, that you aren't really the princess. Your just some decoy because you killed the princess", I asked sarcastically. She smiled.
"No, but I have a decoy".
"Figures".
"What I am going to tell you are two of my darkest secrets". And that's how I spent the rest of my night, listening to Godiva talk. Sometimes I made comments; sometimes I just sat there. It was midnight by the time I went to my room. Godiva had made me promise not to tell anyone especially Ax and Jake.
"Where have you been", Jake asked.
"Talking with Godiva", I answered.
"About what"?
"Just stuff".
"What kind of stuff"?
"Just talking about Andalites and their culture".
"You, listen to Andalite talk for four hours"?
"She simplified it into human terms for me".
"Whatever. Good night Marco".
"Good night".
I went to sleep. It was lucky for us that the z-space trip from earth to the Andalite home world was only one day. I'm glad z-space had altered to this time. I really didn't want to travel for two weeks with a bunch of Andalites and Prince Peehead. When we landed on the Andalite home world, their sun was at high noon. The port we landed in looked sort of like an airport. It was more high tech and advanced, though. It had docks and super huge 'holes' for the Dome ships to land in. Their sun was red and their sky was a lavender pinkish color. Their grass was red, green, and blue. Their dirt was the same color as ours, but that was the only similarity. I saw a bunch of Andalites standing around the port, some running, and some just guarding. I followed Godiva and everyone else to a transport station. It was like a bunch of tear shaped trains that went about 200 mph.
"Amenak", Godiva cried.
Godiva I heard some Andalite female cried. I saw Godiva running to a purple Andalite. They embraced and came over to us.
"Everyone, this is Amenak" she began. She introduced us all. I wasn't listening. I was just staring at the beautiful Andalite female in front of me. She was beautiful. Already I had feelings for her. I had a crush on her. I was in like. I was… "She is, was, my brother's girlfriend". I was in trouble.
A/N-I didn't discuss in detail Godiva's secrets on purpose-n upcoming chapter will mainly discuss them so I don't want to ruin the surprise
