David>
As I was walking to my chambers a familiar voice echoed in my mind. This is the moment you've waited for David, the Ellimist said.
"I know, but how I'm going to pull it off without them knowing right away is the big question."
An image of an Iguadon flashed in my head. Now I had a plan. I began to morph to an Iguadon warrior. Visser One had one for his host while he wasn't controlling Stacey, so I would play the part of him going to infest her. Genius. The Ellimist sure has an odd way of not interferring. I trudged down the hall to her cell. The guards posted outside looked at me with little interest.
"Unless you want to die from Dracon desentigration you better show more respect!" I said.
"Forgive us Visser, we did not realize..."
"Silence you rambling fool! Open the door and lock it once I'm inside."
The guards bowed their heads and let me in. Stacey sat curled up in a corner, hatred flashing in her eyes.
Stacey, it's me David,> I said.
"David?!"
Shh! I'm going to get you out, just play along.>
I stepped towards her and broke the collar off around her neck. "Get away from me you slug! No! Let me go! Get off of me! Help!"
Damn, she was good. This girl was a natural-born actress. We waited about a minute then I told her what to do next. Just act like Visser One and we can walk right out of here.>
She smiled. Boy, did she have a great smile. I mentally slapped myself, this was no time to be getting all hormonal we had to get out of here before suspicions arose. Stacey tapped on the door and the guards let us out. They stiffened up worse than a dead man when she glared at them. We made it out the front hatch of the ship and into the forest.
That was easy,> I said.
"Hold it Godzilla, we're not out of the woods yet."
That was pretty funny,> I laughed at her pun.
When the ship was no longer in sight I resumed my human form. Stacey stopped suddenly and turned to face me. "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why'd you help me, I thought you were on their side?"
"I was... until I overheard Visser One planning my infestation."
Stacey nodded smugly. "So I was right?"
"About everything, yes. And I apologize for everything," I told her.
She smiled again and began to morph to golden eagle. I followed and we both took to the sky, heading towards the hospital.
Well done David, said the Ellimist, but this is only the beginning.
I understood what he meant. I was just beginning my fight in this war
and this time it was on the right side.
