Chapter 5

The Plexiglas tube opened and the girl stepped out, standing in the center of the room, in nothing but a bra and panties. She looked around her and saw a bundle of cloth and grabbed it, pulling it on over her head. The shapeless, white caftan gave her a look of surreal innocence, then she looked from the Animorphs, to Chapman, to Visser One, and back to the Animorphs again. "Who are you?"

*I am Visser One, your master.*

Her violet eyes flashed with a white-hot energy, "No one is my master. Especially not an Andalite!" she hissed.

*Well, she's defiantly a Yeerk creation.* Marco muttered to the Animorphs.

She turned to Jake, "You must be Andalites as well...... for that you must all perish!" Eve's body glowed a fire-y red as she released a fireball into the computers, then another directly at the Animorphs, and another at Chapman and Visser One. Content that once the flames hit the gas tanks, the explosion would kill the offending Andalites, she blasted a hole in the ceiling and flew off.

She hadn't counted on the "Andalites" running out of the lab before the fire ball, could hit the gas tanks. As Visser One barked orders to get Chapman some medical attention, the Animorphs were able to slip away and out of the Yeerk pool.

*You know what this means?* Marco asked as he demorphed from his gorilla form.

*I might, but you're gonna tell me anyway, aren't you?* Jake said, almost half-way through his own tiger morph. He actually looked cool, he was all human except for the muzzle and tail and his body was covered in fur.

*Yeah. I a-* Marco was cut off as he finished the demorph. "As I was saying, yeah, I am. This means the yeerks have no control over Miss I-hate-all-Andalites-and-like-to-blow-stuff-up."

Jake finished up his morph and stretched, "Yeah. Your point being?"

"We have a minuscule chance of converting her to our cause."

"Saving her from the Dark side of the Force, so to speak?" Jake said, looking back at him. The other Animorphs morphed into owls, as it was still dark out, and waited for the other two to hurry up and morph so they can crash at Erik's, or Cassie's.

"Yeah." with that, they both morphed owl and the Animorphs took off.

*We crash at Erik's?*

*Yeah.* The group turned and flew towards Erik's house as the purple of oncoming dawn started to appear on the horizon.
