It was a bright and sunny day at the Ani-news message board. It was appropriate because after a whole week the typo-demon was finally destroyed thanks to Dark Animan, and Light Animan contradicting each other. Everyone was grateful that the typo-demon was destroyed and peace was restored. All but one boardie. Jake the Yeerk Killer.

He was happy that the typo-demon was destroyed, but there was something wrong. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on. But then he remembered something that an old man told him during the battle.

Flashback

We see a wise old man talking to Jake the Yeerk Killer.

"Even if the typo-demon is destroyed, everything will not be alright. The typo-demon is very smart, he would've found a backup plan if he failed. Think about it. He had months of planning, think back when you first noticed something strange," the wise man said.

Flashback ended


"Something strange," Jake the Yeerk Killer thought to himself.

Then suddenly he snapped his fingers, "Disappearances. So, I've only noticed one boardie leaving for no reason, and not updating his fic. Shivanfire."

"I have to go find him and set things right," he exclaimed to no one.

Later on…….

"Everyone listen up!" said Jake the Yeerk Killer. "I'm going on a dangerous possibly suicidal mission…..anyone want to come along? I only need three people to come with me, I don't want to risk anymore then that number. Let me warn you again, we might not come back alive from this mission….to find and save fellow fanfic writer and Ani-news boardie Shivanfire."

"I'm in!" Tobias the lone hawk said.

Jake the Yeerk Killer was surprised that his fellow Team Omega member would come along. He was surprised because Tobias had been through a lot. The typo-monster had killed him, and when he was brought back to life, he had gained amnesia.

"And I'll bring the food," Tobias said.

"Alright," said Jake. "I need two more. Are you coming Marco?"

Marco the Magnificent shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry dude, I just can't go. It's too soon. I'm still warped from the last encounter."

Jake the Yeerk Killer nodded. He wasn't surprised that Marco wouldn't come. Unlike Tobias, Marco had experienced a fate worse than death. No, not being a controller. The typo-monster could create clones of innocent boardies. Marco had encountered his, and instead of his evil double killing him, he turned Marco into……..Cassie. For 3 days, Marco the Magnificent turned into Cassie the Caring, and had been yelling such phrases as…..

"ANIMALS RULE!!!!! HUMANS DROOL!!!!!"

or…….

"Animals are soooooo cool!!!! Especially skunks."

"Okay, I need 2 more people to come with me," Jake repeated.

"I will, no question," said a voice. "I just have a few terms. One, I'll work for you but I won't take orders from you, I take them from myself. I have some equipment that might be useful."

The voice was from the being known as Shadow. Actually Shadow was Jeff. P from Ani-news. But Jeff was injured during the battle of the typo-demon, and he had to revert to his alter ego.

"Agreed," said Jake as he shook hands with him. "What kind of equipment do you have?"

Shadow just grinned, "I can't show you all of it, but I'll show you just one device." He took a device from his backpack that looked very similar to a gameboy.

"It's a Search and Find boy, or SAF boy. It shows a map of whatever location we got to. And it can also trace down Shivanfire's DNA so we can see where he was last," Shadow explained.

"KEWL!!!!!" a voice yelled. "I wanna go! Can I go? Huh? Huh? Please?"

The voice came from Hope. Hope the fanfic writer. Hope the co-moderator of the Ani-news message board. Hope from Tyler's Angels.

"Cool! We can have the Tyler's Angels on our side!" Tobias exclaimed.

"Yeah! You heard Tobias! Go Angels!" Hope said.

"But I thought Tbyrd was killed by the typo-demon. And Jan girl is busy catching up on her book-of-da-day stuff," Shadow wondered out loud.

"Oh yeah," Hope said. "Still…"

"Ahem," Jake said. "I didn't say Hope could come, yet."

"Pretty please?! I have FF9 in my bag! Oh yeah that reminds me, I decided to beat it all over again," Hope said as she unpacked a TV set, a playstation, and many, many PS games.

"Fine," Jake said. "You can come."

"I guess Operation: Saving private Shivanfire is underway!" Tobias said excitedly.

"Wait. Where are we going to look for Shivanfire anyway?" Shadow asked.

"Yeah! Where are we going?" Hope said in the background as she started playing FF9.

"Where Shivanfire was last………the crazy world of Animorph Fanfiction," Jake explained. "Follow me and I'll take you to the gateway."

"Gateway?" Shadow asked.

"Sometimes Fanfic writers can go into their stories through a plot hole. But we don't have a plot hole for Shivanfire's story or wherever he was last. So we have to go ask the Fanfiction.net Staff to help us by letting us go into stories the old-fashion way," Jake explained.

"What's the old-fashion way?" Shadow wondered out loud.

"I don't know, but we're going to find out," Jake said.

"Yeah, but don't forget. It's a fanfic that we're going into. Anything can happen. Anything," Tobias said his face serious. Then the look on his face turned into a greedy look. "That means I could have all 6 Gundams under my control. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"

They all stared at him. All except Hope, who was yelling phrases like…."No! wait. Yes. Yes! Go Zidane!"

"Oops," Tobias said sheepishly. "Did I say that out loud?"

"HEY!!! DON'T STEAL MY TRADEMARKS!!!" Marco the Magnificent's voice yelled from somewhere.

"Sorry, My bad," Tobias said back.

"Let's go….." Jake the Yeerk Killer said to his team. "Follow me!"

And so, the brave team composed of Jake the Yeerk Killer, Tobias the lone hawk, Shadow, and Hope walked off towards their first challenge……to convince the all-mighty Fanfiction.net staff who hold the power and key to everything………..


Well not exactly, Hope didn't walk. Jake the Yeerk Killer, Tobias, and Shadow had to carry Hope, her TV set, and her playstation all the way there, because her eyes were practically glued to the TV set.

Will the Fanfiction.net Staff let them go through? What else is in store for this group of 4 brave men, and woman? What other dangers and perils will they face? Will they find Shivanfire? More importantly who will survive? Find out on the next episode of………The Search for Shivanfire!
