A/N: I know, its been a very long time since I've posted anything. But here I am with another long piece *sigh* which i hope I'd be able to complete *another sigh*. It has a very good plot. And it's a continuation of #54. The first half of the prologue is written in third person narration, the rest of the story would be in first person narration. Whether I get to add more to this depends on the feed back i get.

I hope ya like it.

The War Goddess

Chapter One

The aliens have landed, people, grab all your food and run to the alps. 'cause that's what's under threat. Not your life, not your free will, not your home. Your food.

Or more specifically; cinnamon buns.

Now that's what I was trying to explain to this alien girl. She's pretty when she isn't in her own body –which is when she was eating- only you see, when she starts eating it ruins her image, so I was stuck at looking at a) a freaky blue face, and b) a pretty frost covered chin.

Right now I was looking at b), and people were no longer staring, see, they figured out she wasn't human. And that took all the fun away.

"All I'm saying is this; wouldn't it have been a bit cooler if Andalites liked…say, Pizza? Don't you like Pizza? See, that way I could get some on the way back to your home, instead of surviving on deserts. Deserts give me pimples. Too many desert gives me way too many pimples, and lets all face it; pimples suck."

"Off-urom-ohgah?" Elymphia questioned.

"No, no, remember the rules, I do the talking when you're eating, it's bad manners to talk with your mouth full of food. Besides, I can't make out what you're saying."

Elymphia swallowed, "Sorry. The rules of your cultures are vast and complicating. Many of your rules are simply ridiculous. Take clothing for example; it's absurd. Humans cover all the wrong body parts. And eating, why can't one speak and eat at the same time? Its simply ridiculous."

"Thank you Elymphia for pointing out the many mistakes and ludicrous necessities of my kind. There's nothing better –in my opinion- than having to listen to an Andalite endlessly criticize my race's foolishness."

Elymphia swallowed another lump of bun. I didn't know how she ate that stuff, Cinnabon were only too happy to dish out stale buns at eightieth of what they originally cost to Andalites -who obviously had a whacked out sense of taste.

"Sarcasm."

"Excellent." I muttered, "You're a fast learner."

"Why, thank you Salvador." Elymphia beamed. "However, I must confess that you are a very good teacher."

"I'm flattered." I muttered.

"I told father that bringing over a young teacher from Earth to educate our students about humans was an excellent idea. Of course, he agreed."

"But I'm not a teacher. I'm just an average kid. I mean-"

"I know that." Elymphia said, "But you are an excellent specimen, my students will profit largely. Explaining the way humans act is hard, letting them see a human act normally and the way a human reacts in certain situations is far more interesting. Did you know that only two percent of the children I teach can actually visualize what a sitting human looks like? The other ninety-eight percent procure alarming ideas."

I stared at her, what could you possibly say to that?

"And of course it may have been more interesting to bring over two humans but unfortunately, even though my father has great influence he could not bring over more than one human. Security reasons," she added quickly when she caught my look, "precautions and all these things…"

I sighed, "I still believe that you could have gone to a real teacher. Who am I? I'm just Salvador. So what? there was only one boy called Salvador in my school -me, that doesn't make me special. My mom's Italian by the way, I'm named after my great grandfather-"

"Are Italians highly influential?"

I rolled my eyes. "Italians come from Italy, I was referring to where my mother was born, it isn't important. Not the least bit. And-" I stopped, Elymphia was staring intensely at my face. "What?" I asked her, nervously fingering my nose, "Is there something on my nose? A pimple?"

"Amazing."

"My pimple?" I asked looking confused.

"That thing you did with your eyes."

"What did I do with my eyes?"

"Do it again."

"What? Do what again?"

"Your eyes seemed to roam irregularly."

"Huh?" I didn't get it, why she was so excited. "Oh! You mean what I did with my eyes? When I rolled them."

"Do it again."

I rolled my eyes. "Jeez, don't Andalites roll their eyes too?"

"We do." Elymphia replied, looking wistfully at her empty plate, "but only with our stalk eyes." She tried to unsuccessfully roll her eyes.

"Don't think too much about it, it has to come naturally." I couched.

"What," she asked, "like this?"

"That's a bit closer."

"This?" She tried again. "It feels funny. Amazing things humans do with their body parts…"

"Well," I said with a stupid grin, "can you go cross eyed with your main eyes?"

"What?"

"Cross-eyed, you know like this," I quickly focused on my nose. I felt myself go cross-eyed, "see, this is going cross-eyed…ouch." My eyes focused on Elymphia's face, "I can't keep it up for long."

"Amazing…" Elymphia muttered, "what sort of message does such a gesture convey?"

I shrugged, "dunno, it' sort of a stupid thing to do."

Elymphia, my darling, how is your day going? I didn't turn around, it was Elumphia's father, Prince Ferand-Elluiot-Farest. It took me five days to get it right. Needless to say, all my wrong pronunciation of Elymphia's father's name got me in his bad books. Something I should have watched out for.

"Marvelous Father." Elymphia answered, she started demorphing, "how much longer until the we leave?"

Soon enough, Ferand said, Make sure you gather all your belongings and place them where they could be seen, the warriors who have been called over to remove our personal belongings are a little on the slow side, wouldn't want to confuse them, after all, think of all the mess it would create. I just came over to check on you, I'm going to be on that transport before you. Do you need anything?

No Father, Elymphia sighed, I'm no longer a child, I believe I can look after myself.

Very well then, see in the transport. And oh, yes, Ferand looked like he finally noticed me, instead of greeting me he said, and that reminds me of something, keep your human close beside you, Seroof wasn't too happy about my arrangements, if your little human here ends up in Seroof's way I can't guarantee that he wouldn't be tossed out of the nearest airlock.

Elymphia rolled her eyes human style.

Her Father stared at her, Elymphia are you all right?

Yes father, I was only attempting to mimic the human way of rolling eyes, it's a gesture that is applied to suggest exasperation.

"Or aid sarcasm." I muttered.

Her father was still looking at her like she was disturbed, I'll see you in the transport Elymphia.

Yes, Father, you have mentioned this twice already.

Her father trotted off shaking his eyestalks a little.

Okay Salvador, I'm leaving, follow me. Elymphia.

"Yes your highness." I grumbled, "like I have nothing better to do."

"Leave 'em alone KAT!" I screamed. I bounded forward and tore across the grass. Picture this; a small lab rat running full speed across an Andalite feeding area, being chased by a semi-long haired cat being chased by a human who had been idiotic enough to bring along a cat and a rat as pets. I was seriously embarrassed. You may think its no deal that you're trying to stop a cat from murdering a rat, but listen to this; I have half a dozen warriors and four technicians who were looking at me like I was mentally disturbed or something.

I've spent a day on this ship and it took them that much time to think I'm stupid, now that they have this seriously idiotic scenario to look at, they'll probably think I'm not just stupid, but crazy and dim witted as well.

I was screaming and hollering obscenities while David cursed me and Kat in private thought speak. Suddenly, David took a sharp turn to the left and went racing towards me. I stopped running and waited for him to come. He clawed his way up my trousers and I grabbed Kat by her neck.

Marvelous! A leering voice rang out from the trees, tell me human, did it occur to you that the larger creature you decided to keep as a pet is content on preying on the other? Surely, you don't tell me that this is one of your resent discoveries?

I yanked a persistent Kat away from my pocket and carried her squirming in my arms as I walked towards the Dome's exist. The owner of the sneering voice emerged from the trees and followed me.

So, was it a recent discovery? Detrax mocked. Detrax is the only aristh aboard the ship. And he doesn't like me one bit. Maybe it was bad vibes. I don't know. But I never did anything to him.

Hey, David said brightly in private thought speak, this dude here is very bright, even brighter than you. See, 'cause I think that you just DICOVERED THAT CATS ARE PROWN TO CHASING RATS.

"No," I hissed between my teeth, "I was highly aware of that even before you decided to share your 'brilliant' observations."

Hah, David retorted privately, you think.

Detrax snorted, oblivious to the fact that I was already arguing with another person. It doesn't look like it.

"What do you want," I snapped, I wasn't in the best of moods. Maybe if David would stop being so harsh I could have responded better. I could take Detrax, David was harder to deal with.

I don't want anything from you. Detrax laughed. What would I want from you? A lesson in stupidity?

"For your information," I snapped, "I happen to be the hired 'Teacher of Human Cultural and Behavioral Studies' of your Academy, I didn't get that job by acting stupidly, I got it by-YAaaaaa!" I yelped loudly. Detrax jumped about a foot. Kat had bitten a chuck of my arm. She's been squirming in my grasp ever since I picked her up and I must have squeezed on her too hard. She doesn't usually nip at my arm.

I dropped Kat and she disappeared behind a line of trees.

David laughed in my head, You didn't get there by acting stupid? Dude, how do you think you got this job? Man, even the warriors think that Elymphia person is whacked out.

Detrax looked in the direction Kat had ran away to with his stalk eyes, he looked at me with his main eyes and said, Aren't you going to call her the way you call the other creature?

"She wouldn't listen to me." I muttered. "Cats aren't exactly mice."

You mean dogs. David corrected me privately.

"I mean rats." I muttered again. "The other creature I own is a rat, the one that just ran away is called a cat."

I'm a human. David hissed.

I see, Detrax said skeptically, And what have you named them?

"Well, the rat is called Da-"

NO! David shouted. Don't tell him what my real name is you dim wit! It wouldn't take the animorphs long to figure out I'm alive!

Detrax stared at me, are you alright? You stopped talking in the middle of your sentence.

"Er, I did? I didn't notice." I said, then I pressed on so he wouldn't ask any more awkward questions. "Well, the rat is called...uh...um....Mouse?"

Mouse?! David shrieked, are you trying to insult me?!

Was that a question or a statement? Detrax looked confused.

"And the cat's name is Kat." I finished with confidence.

A cat called Cat...how inventive.

"It's just an animal," I said in exasperation, "who cares what you call it? At least I didn't call her 'Socks' or 'Girl' or 'Tiger'. There are worse names than 'Kat'."

Detrax said nothing to that.

You know, David said with distaste, at least I gave my pets good names. Why would anyone call his cat; Cat?

"Big deal," I muttered lowly, "Spawn and Megadeth."

Better than Kat and Mouse, you idiot. David shuddered.

Who are you talking to? Detrax snapped, you keep on talking in a very low tone. I cant heard you like that.

I laughed. "You know me, I'm stupid. Who do you think I would be talking to?"

Detrax stared.

"Me. I would be talking to myself."

Detrax was about to say something to that when I heard someone call me.

It was Elymphia. And she didn't look too pleased.

I know, not all that much happening, but we'll get there...sooner or later.
