A/N: Here it is, I had to upload this fast...I didn't read it through...if there are any mistakes; not my problem...its because I'm rushing...I'm already late as it is.....
"So who are you?" I asked skeptically. "I noticed that you keep on avoiding this subject, if you really want my help, you have to tell me who you are and why the animorphs interest you so much."
I was in my quarters, my hands were bandaged, and to Detrax's disappointment; I did not have a concussion. I was okay. And I would be present in today's class. Too bad.
David was sitting on my knee, Kat was sitting around my foot, she stopped trying to chase David, instead, she retired to ignoring his very presence –unless it came to attention, Kat craved attention, if I paid too much attention to David, she would bat at my foot.
David looked at me with his little rat eyes, I never noticed how old he looked. And then something occurred to me, how old was David as a human? How old was he as a rat?
When I asked David the question he shook his little rat head, he said, I was only fifteen when I got trapped, I lived for about four years in this rat body, I'm already very old. As a rat. But I don't age, not quickly anyway, I can live for more.
"How come?"
I had a deal with a powerful being, he's a sort of weasel, he wants to help but makes it look like he isn't. He's strange. Weird, but powerful. David sighed. My life as a rat was torture, everything my rat body wanted to do would humiliate me. I hated my life, and I tried to kill myself.
"What happened?" I wondered.
It's strange really, the being is called an Ellimist. He's supposed to be a good guy, and what's strange about it was that he offered me a chance to get back at those who hurt me. It's real strange because I thought his archenemy would be the one to propose such a thing.
"To get back at who?" I wondered.
David said the word without any particular feeling, he told me what happened as if it was no big deal. I was surprised, since he's usually very emotional. The animorphs.
"What?" I couldn't believe my ears. "the animorphs did this to you?"
I used to be one of them, it really wasn't my choice at all, it was because of them that I got dragged into this mess. I found the morphing cube. The blue box, back in the invasion. I found it and I had no clue what it was, I figured it was worth something so I posted a notice on the internet.
"And what happened then?" I wondered.
David shrugged, What do you think happened? The animorphs interfered, the stupid Andalite cut off my dad's thumb in an effort to unarm him. Marco was making up stories and then the Yeerks came. Visser One...Visser Three back then, he wanted to kill my father, I wanted to give him the blue box, I didn't want my dad hurt. The other Animorphs came, the rest of them. Mayhem broke out. It was awful. Rachel –as a grizzly- shoved me out of my bathroom window, me and the blue box. I went out then, when I woke up, my life changed, they took me in.
My parents were made into controllers, we had a mission, a big mission. I decided I had enough of Jake, he was all bossy and he didn't want me making my own decisions, Marco was all like; you're the new kid so be grateful we're trying to teach you the things we learnt. They didn't understand, I lost my parents, my home, I lost everything, my life was over, and they still had theirs, they wanted to play god with me, well, I didn't want that to happen.
"So what did you do?" I was horrified, the animorphs never mentioned anything about a David. A boy trapped into a rat. Maybe they weren't real heroes, maybe David was right to seek revenge.
I was smarter than all of them put together, he said bitterly, that's what I believed in the start, I thought I tricked them, I thought I had them cold. I thought I was laughing at them. I guess they got the last laugh.
They trapped me in this form, Salvador, this is what they did to me, and all for what? Whose fault was it? It certainly wasn't mine. It was their mess. And in the end, I told them I would lay off. I told them I'm sorry. They trapped me anyone and left me on a deserted island...I hate them, what they did to me was not fair, it wasn't right. They're not god.
I nodded, I agreed with him, "why were you upset that Rachel is alive?"
Of all the animorphs, I despised Rachel the most, she made this personal. It was her who did it. She trapped me, she and that Andalite, I told them! I begged them to let me go. They waited two hours.
"So what are you going to do now?"
David looked at me, and I swear I saw a light in his eyes, it was weird, he said, I'm going to show the world who the animorphs really are, and I'll show the animorphs who is the real hero here, I'll do it. I'll save the universe. And you are going to help me Salvador.
"Me?"
Yeah, you. David paused, we have to get off this ship.
"I can't pilot a ship." I pointed out.
Well then, David snapped, find someone who can.
"But how am I going to convince them?" I wondered, I was thinking of Yalleen and Detrax, "they wouldn't believe me."
David nodded, Well, I have that part covered, you just bring them here.
*** *** ***
What? Detrax snapped, Why? You do realize I am busy.
We were at the dome, I found Detrax drinking some water in the center.
"You're not busy," I said patiently, "You said your personal combat trainer is off the ship and your personal flight instructor is ill. And drinking water just does not qualify as busy."
My personal combat trainer is currently on this ship, Detrax said impatiently, in fact, I have a lesson with him right now, will you go away?
"I'm not leaving." I said stubbornly, "you just made that up."
Detrax said nothing.
I turned and walked away, as I did I said, "well, suit yourself, you can have your imaginary lesson, I'm sure Yalleen would have time for me."
Detrax very quickly said, wait, I'll come, you'll probably get lost.
"Right, when did you care if I got lost or not? And what happened to your lesson? Did you forget about that?"
Who said anything about a lesson? Detrax muttered.
"Beats me," I decided to drop the issue. "Come on."
It took some time, but we were finally there, in my quarters, Yalleen and Detrax stood behind me, David was on my bed. He looked at them, he didn't say anything.
I sat down on the bed, David ran up to my hand and walked up my arm so that he could sit on my shoulder, "they're here. Now what?"
I'm not blind, I can see. David replied gruffly.
Detrax jolted like some one had electrified him Yalleen said, Who said that?
I didn't reply, I let David handle this one.
You have an unauthorized person aboard a dome ship?! Detrax shrieked, do you plan to get killed?!
Yalleen rolled her stalk eyes, the penalty isn't death you idiot.
Detrax said, I'm going to have to report this.
No. David snapped, You will not.
And who are you to command me? Detrax challenged.
Who I am is not relevant, what I know is. David spat angrily, you can go and report me, but all my plans would end right here, and if my plans fail, your great Prince Aximili will die.
Detrax stared like he couldn't understand.
Yalleen looked dumbstruck, are you an animorph?
David's little beady rat eyes glinted, I am, you're a smart one. At least you know a thing or two about Earth.
I guessed that too. Detrax muttered, Big deal.
David ignored him, he said, I am an animorph, but I am not known to the world, you do not know me, the people of Earth know nothing about my existence. I am the seventh animorph. No one but the animorphs themselves know this.
You have plans to save Prince Aximili? Yalleen breathed.
Yes, I know a great deal about what is and what isn't in this world. I didn't know that David was able to sound like that, why did he treat me like I was some stupid moron? Many people believe that Rachel the Animorph is dead, and many of your people fear that Aximili is dead too. But I know that Rachel is alive, and I know that Aximili is alive. They are both prisoners.
Yalleen and Detrax looked at each other.
Detrax said slowly, prisoners to whom?
The Yeerks, David hissed angrily, who else? I am here to give you the opportunity to serve your people, a chance to help save the world, would you help me?
Us? Why us? Yalleen asked.
Yes, why didn't you ask any of the full warriors or even a Prince to help? Detrax wondered?
Why? David echoed his question, well thats an easy simple one; the Ellimist send me. He said you two could help. He also said that if I asked anyone else, all is lost.
Detrax went pale.
Yalleen said nothing, i think she was shocked.
So will you help me? David asked. Will you serve your people?
Detrax said slowly, you're asking us to disobey our superiors.
No. David corrected, I am asking u to save the world.
"Would you help us?" I asked, "Are you strong enough to take this?"
