Chapter 10


Visser One>


The ship's Dracon cannons fired at the aircrafts. Many were able to dodge effortlessly out way, but a couple had been hit and exploded in the air. I laughed insanely as one by one the planes were shot down. Only four remained now. They fired their guns and missiles but the ship's shield held up.

"Get us in the air!" I commanded.

The Iguadon pilot lit the engines and the ship rose from the ground. The fighters gave chase as we flew from the site of the attack. Visser One fired the thrusters and the primitive craft were left behind. It seems my leniency towards the human girl nearly cost me greatly. I would not be so foolish next time.

"Destination sir?" the pilot asked.

"Yellowstone. Prepare the Yeerks for their new hosts. I want to capture every Hork-Bajir in that colony. We'll need them to rebuild the Yeerk pool. I won't bother with Taxxons this time, I have a better idea."

A thousand Yeerks were prepped and ready to infest the unsuspecting Hork-Bajir. The human David and I morphed to eagle and circled the park.

Estran Five-Seven-One, organize the Hork-Bajir into groups of ten and lead them to the ship one unit at a time,> I called to my lieutenant.

We returned to the ship to await their arrival. Moments later I heard the sound of multiple heavy footsteps coming in my direction. Once they were in view I gave the order for my troops to surround them. The Hork-Bajir shrieked in surprise as Dracon beams were leveled at their heads.

"Well done Estran. You just might get a promotion for this."

"Thank you Visser. Shall I retrieve the next unit?"

"As soon as we're finished with them. That way we will have reinforcements if any problems should arise."

The Hork-Bajir were escorted two at a time into the ship and infested. Then the next unit was brought in and the next until all of them were under Yeerk control. Six hundred new hosts in one day, the council would indeed be pleased. My next project would take me to a lab for genetic engineering. I would create a race unlike anything the universe has ever seen using the morph I created out of Andalite and Hork-Bajir DNA. The scientists had to be enslaved, naturally. I morphed and some of the DNA was extracted to be cloned. Humans have come a long way in the world of technology thanks to the Andalites. Instead of taking years for the embryos to develop and mature I only had to wait a few hours. And by then I had two hundred new soldiers. I decided to call them Tyrants.

I was content with my accomplishments, but I was far from being satisfied. I had an appointment to make with an old friend. An Andalite named Alloran.
