Jake the Yeerk Killer and crew finally put Hope down. They had reached their destination. It was a building on top of a hill. There was a sign in front of the door. It read. The Head Office of the Fanfiction.net Staff.

"You can stop playing now," Shadow told Hope. "We've reached the office."

"Yeah, but…" Hope started. "Oh, fine."

She reluctantly put her TV set, her playstation, and her games inside her backpack. But secretly she took out a photo of Heath Ledger. "Oh Heath! You are the only one who understands me!"

Together they walked inside the building. There in front of them in a desk was a secretary.

"May I help you?" she asked them.

"No, you don't have to help me. I already beat FF9 and I know all the tricks," Hope replied.

A moment of silence goes by.

"Ahem, We're here to see the board of directors," Jake said breaking the silence.

"Do you have an appointment with the Council of Six?" she asked them nonchalantly.

"Not exactly," Tobias said. He moved closer towards her. And he took out a rose. "But do you think you could make one, for us? For me? And maybe afterwards we can go out for dinner." He took her hand and kissed it.

"No, I don't think so," the secretary said as she pulled her hand away from him. "I don't think my wife would like that."

"Wife?" Tobias asked in disbelief. All color went out from his face.

"Yeah, take a look," and she pulled out a picture of her in a wedding dress, and another attractive girl beside her also in a wedding dress.

A classic anime style sweat drop appears on all of their foreheads. Tobias slowly backs away.

"And if you don't have an appointment then you can't see them," said the secretary.

"Okay, everyone! Group huddle," Jake the Yeerk Killer told his group.

They huddled together to form a plan. "We need a plan to get in there," Jake told them.

"Sorry no plan here," Tobias said.

"Yeah, nice plan," Hope said sarcastically. "Too bad she was a lesbian."

"Hey! I got that plan from Marco! He uses it all the time. Sure it always fails for him, but still…." Tobias said defensively.

Shadow rolled his eyes. "I have a plan. One of the goodies I brought was a can of smoke. We make a distraction and then we just break it and a cloud of smoke will appear and while the secretary is too busy trying to get out. Then we could sneak right pass her," Shadow said.

"Good plan!" Jake said.

"I'll distract her!" Tobias the lone hawk exclaimed.

He walked up to her, his voice cocky, "Are you sure you're happy being with her? Don't you want a REAL man. Or just a man," he said.

Then Shadow through the can of smoke in front of the secretary's desk. It broke. But only a little puff of smoke appeared. Shadow walked to it and picked it up. "Hmmm, it looks like today was the expiry date. Oh well," Shadow said as he threw it away.

The secretary then calmly said. "If you don't have an appointment then, you will be forced to leave."

"Enough of this," Hope said. "Let's just bust in there by force!"

Hope started to prepare her limit break.

"Yeah! I'm with Hope!" Tobias said. You could practically hear excitement coming from him.

Tobias the lone Hawk then pulled out something from his pocket. A 13.5 meter robot. Made out of Gundammian armor. He pulled out a Gundam. Not just any Gundam. It was the custom built Epyon that he stole……er……borrowed.

"If you don't let us through, we'll destroy this whole building," Jake the Yeerk Killer told the secretary.

Calmly she took out a gun. A little measly gun. She fired. Instead of bullets, out came 4 golden ropes. It tied Hope, Jake, and Shadow up. And the fourth one had to pull Tobias out.

They all struggled to get free from the ropes' grasp, but it was no use.

"I'll untie now, but if you don't leave right away, then next time I just might forget that you're all tied up," the secretary said coolly.

She untied them, but as soon as she let them out, Jake started to plead at her.

"But it's really important that we see them! We need their help to find our fellow fanfiction writer, and Ani-news boardie Shivanfire," Jake stammered.

"So, Many writers disappear and never come back, and no the Council of Six won't help you find him," the secretary said coldly.

"Yeah, but he's the best Animorph fanfiction writer we've ever seen! He's the coolest boardie on Ani-news!" Shadow urged.

The secretary eyes suddenly went from having cold eyes, and suddenly her eyes looked excited. "Did the narrator say urge?"

"SHE'S GOT THE URGE!" male voices sang from somewhere. Then the door burst open. Three muscular men came in. One of them was holding a bucket of water, and the other was holding a bottle of……Herbal Essences.

They then started to wash her hair.

With her distracted Jake the Yeerk Killer said, "Let's go! Hurry while she's busy!"

The whole team started to run inside the doorway. Except for one person. Hope.

"Urge…Herbal….Heath….must have," Hope said.

"Oh no! She's hypnotized by the urge!" Shadow exclaimed.

"We have to grab her and go!" Jake said.

They ran back after Hope and carried her to the doorway heading towards the Council of Six.

In the background we hear, "She's got the urge….for Herbal!"

"YES!!! YES!!!! OH GOD YES!!!" screamed the secretary from far back.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Hope screamed as she started lashing out at her two-fellow boardies that were trying to take her away. Wait a second. Two?

"Tobias, What are you doing?" asked Shadow as Hope punched him in the face.

Tobias didn't answer back, she just murmured "Herbal…….essences….urge…..need conditioner.."

"Oh no!" Tobias is hypnotized as well!" Jake the Yeerk Killer said frantically.

"We better put these in their ears to block the sound," Shadow said taking out some earplugs.

"And we better have some for ourselves too," Jake the Yeerk Killer suggested.

Shadow nodded. Him and Jake managed to put the earplugs on Tobias and Hope, and themselves. Just in time too, because her wash was over.

They saw the look of fury on her face, but Hope-now out of hypnosis-knew how to keep her off their backs.

Her fellow teammates couldn't hear what she said. But it was a good thing too, because otherwise they would've stayed behind.

"Try the body wash!" Hope Yelled as they ran through they opened the door leading to the Council of Six.

Meanwhile…..

"Okay, I'm going on a dangerous possibly suicidal mission to find Ajain90. Anyone want to come along? I need 3 people," Marco declared.

"I thought you said that you were still shaken up from turning into a Cassie?" Tbyrd wondered out loud.

"I lied. So sue me. Hey! I thought you were supposed to be dead," Marco replied.

"I was. And now I have 315 lives left," Tbyrd explained.

Marco the Magnificent nodded.

After a few minutes Marco found 2 people to go with him. Tbyrd and Jan girl.

"ANGELS REUNITED!……sort of," they yelled together as they noticed Marco.

"I need one more person to come with me," Marco announced.

"I'll go!" said a voice.

It was Ajain90!
"Ajain90?" asked Marco wonderingly.

"No, I'm Ajain89 and a half," Ajain90 said.

"Oh, okay, I thought you were really him. My bad," Marco said.

They all burst out laughing, except for Marco.

"Okay, so it's settled. Me, Tbyrd, Jan girl, and Ajain89-and-a-half will come with me to find Ajain90," Marco said. Now he turned towards the sun. Somewhere out there I'm going to find you!"

Ajain90, Jan Girl, and Tbyrd stopped giggling. They realized Marco wasn't kidding.

"C'mon team! We have to bring him back!" Marco yelled.

A classic anime style sweat drop appears on their foreheads. Reluctantly they followed.

"Are we going to join up with Jake's team?" asked Jan Girl hopefully.

"Who?" Marco asked back.


What other dangers lie ahead for Jake, Tobias, Hope, and Shadow? Will the council help them? Will they find a way to convince them? Will Marco realize that the Ajain90 is pointless? Find out on the next episode of…. The Search for Shivanfire.
