A/N: This is a short Chapter, and is the prelude to the BIG fight scene in the next chapter. Enjoy, and review please! Also, a disclaimer. Not a 'I don't own the Animorphs' one, because if I did, this baby would be on sale right now. I don't own the idea for what happens to Rachel and Tobias. I got it off someone, I can't remember who.

The David Chronicles.
Chapter Two
The Living.
MARCO
"We need to get him." I said quietly.
No, you aren't going mental. This is me. The great Marco. Miss me? I bet you thought I was dead, but I demorphed and ran into the Rachel. And I'm not the only survivor! Well, I'm the only survivor out of everyone who DIDN'T foolishly run into the Blade Ship. Also alive are Ax, Mendarash, Santorelli, and Jeanne. Who, of course, wants me. Which female doesn't?
I agree. Ax said. But how? He is indestructible. And how did he get here?
"It's obvious." I replied. "Rachel made a blunder. She didn't kill David. Some Yeerk guy found him and turned him back into a human."
"Wait." Santorelli interrupted. "Who is this David?"
Me and Ax told the rest about the traitor, including all we knew about Rachel's last encounter with him, and how he was the tool of Crayak. And then, we had to explain about Crayak, The Ellimist and the Drode.
"I think you are wrong, Marco." Menderash, the person who was an Andalite until about a year ago, told me. "It sounds to me like Rachel killed David, and David made another deal with Crayak. A deal that made him this......thing, and brought him to where we are now."
What can I say? It made sense.
"OK, we are totally going off the subject here." Jeanne brought us all back to reality. Oh, how I love her. "Who cares about how he got here? The point is, he's here now, and we have to stop him."
"But how?" Santorelli asked. "He's a walking, talking, invincible killing machine! And I bet Crayak told him more then we know!"
"True." I said. "But I know Crayak, and I bet he won't keep David invincible for much longer. Crayak thinks we're all dead, and he hardly ever sticks to his word. So, we're better off just staying in this nice, cosy laundry room and getting some sleep until Crayak takes Davids invincibility away. Jeanne, would you care to share my covers?"
SLAP!
"Ok, maybe not. You didn't have to slap me so hard!"
Marco is right. Ax told everyone. Getting some sleep is the best we can do.
So we all did. Strangely enough, Jeanne slept as far away from me as she could. I guess she's playing hard to get.
RACHEL
Whoop-de-do. I was dying again. At least this time, Tobias was with me.
"See?" I told him. "Dying is boring."
"At least we have each other." Tobias told me. "We can love each other, forever."
Then, once again, The Ellimist came to us.
"Why do you want to talk to us this time?" I asked him. "Let us die in peace, for once!"
He was quiet for five minutes. I was all for morphing to elephant and ripping apart his non-dimensional butt, when at last he spoke.
"I have a proposition for you, Rachel and Tobias."
"What?" Tobias shouted. I had never seen him so shook-up before. "Tell us, for god's sake!"
"Calm down, Tobias." I put my hand on his shoulder.
"There is a way you could both live. It is a very attractive choice. Of course, I'm sure you would want to live your lives together, peacefully, but I am hoping you will say yes to this."
"Ellimist," I said. "Cut the crap, and get on with it."
"You two could become like the Drode. Not in looks, but you would work for me. Like the Drode always asked if you wanted to help out with something, for Crayak? You would do that for me."
"I like that." I said. "A way of haunting David, plus we'd still be working for good. I like it a lot!"
"Me too." Tobias said.
The Ellimist, or at least the old man form he uses, smiled. "Good." I could see his eyes sparkling. "Here is your power."
And all the power the Drode ever had poured into me. Dude! I could teleport anywhere! I was stronger then everyone's battle morphs, combined! I was as smart as Einstein. But there was one thing that The Ellimist had left out. The evil. And instead, good flowed inside me. You thought I was working for good before? You aint seen nothing yet. It's hard to describe really, so you might not understand it. There would be no killing for me, and I wasn't upset. That's how good I was.
"Whoa!" Tobias teleported behind me, grabbed me from behind, turned me around, and kissed me. When he let go. He spoke again. "This is awesome!"
"Awesome? Whoa? Don't you think someone needs some lessons in how to be cool?" I laughed. "You're right though. We could use our minds to think of a way to stop world hunger. David tries to kill us? Teleport behind him and kick his 3D ass! Hey, Ellimist, we are 4D, like you, right?"
But he had left.
"Actually, we're probably like 3 and a half D." Tobias said. We both laughed. Then, I spotted the note on the floor of.........
"Hey, where are we?" I asked Tobias.
"Wherever The Ellimist takes people just before they die, I guess."
I picked up the note. I had just one word on it. I read it out.
"David."
"What does that mean?" Tobias asked me.
"It must be out first mission. We've got to help stop David!"
"Help stop David? Isn't everyone else dead?"
"No, didn't you see Marco demorph and crawl back to the Rachel? Not to mention everyone who didn't go to The Blade Ship, Ax, those two guys, that girl."
"Whatever." Tobias said. "Let's just go and stop him!"
To wherever David is, I thought in my mind. And I was there.
DAVID
I was there! The Yeerk home world! If Crayak was correct, a mass delivery of Yeerks would be going to Earth tomorrow. One billion Yeerks. Not to mention the Hundred Billion that already lived there. I had the weapons. I had the power. I could blow up their sun, and watch them die. The bastards wouldn't be able to stop me. All the power would go out of every Yeerk Pool, every Kandrona. All the Yeerks would be fucking dead. I would have defeated the Yeerk menace, forever.
I set the target on the centre of the Yeerk sun. My finger went over the trigger. I was about to pull...........
"Where the fuck am I?"
I was in an empty desert. Not human. I got out of the ship, to look at my surroundings. It was barren. That was about it. Then, Crayak was right in front of me.
"Having fun, David?"
"Fuck, no!"
"Oh, good. You see, I cannot let you be so successful, so easily. I have taken away your invincibility. You have all your other strengths, but you can die."
Then, I saw something that nobody ever wants to see. Every single Hork-Bajir host on the planet, coming towards me.
"Oh yes, and I told the Yeerks about your plan, and brought you down here. It's going to be tough, isn't it?"
"No." I ran towards the ship. "I'll blast the fuckers right outta-what the fuck?"
The ship just disappeared!
"I'm afraid you'll have to work for this, David." Crayak said. "I have to figure out if you can survive without doing it the easy way."
"Oh, that is it! You've been fucking using me since you met me! Screw you!"
Crayak had made a huge mistake, just like the One. He was, at the moment, a 3D creature. I drew back my fist, and punched it forward.
"ARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He fell to the floor, dead. His head had been ripped off.
Then, I grabbed a couple of Uzi's out of my jacket, and faced the Yeerks. I was a soilder, and these were my victims. They would all die. It was them or me.
AXIMILLI
We were in a desert area, one thousand metres away from David.
"Jesus!" Marco shouted. "He killed Crayak!"
Now is our chance. I said. I do not understand this human, I never did, but he is evil. He must be destroyed.
"Damn right, Ax!" Marco replied. "Let's get him!"
"Wait for a second." Menderash interrupted. "What about me?"
We all thought for a second. "Stay here." Santorelli eventually said. "You'll be safe."
"Ok, now we've got that over with, battle morphs, everyone!" Marco said. Everyone went to their deadliest morph, and we rushed to where David was, except Menderash, who hid behind a rock.
TOBIAS
We saw the Hark-Bajir coming.
"Now's our chance!" Rachel said to me. "Let's get him!"
"No!" I said back. "Go with the Hork-Bajir. We have to give him a fair fight."
"Ok." Rachel agreed, but she didn't look happy about it. "Can I say something to him?"
"Why not?" I replied.
"Haha David, you stupid ass!" Rachel shouted out to him. "You thought I might become your slave! Well, screw you, because you're dead!"
We saw David mouth one word - Bitch! He fired at us, but we just teleported away.
"That's right, David!" I shouted at him. "Meet the Ellimist's versions of the Drode!"
And me, Rachel, and about 10 billion Hork-Bajir marched forward with one simple mission - Take David down.
DAVID
I thought now would be a good time to review the situation. Rachel and Tobias, new versions of the Drode, plus every Hork-Bajir host on the planet, was coming to try and kill me. Also, Marco, Ax, Santorelli, and Jeanne were coming at me from behind.
"This should be fun." I grinned. "Let's rock."

A/N: Ok, so much for a short chapter! It WAS going to be one, but then I came up with what happens to Rachel and Tobias, and suddenly all these ideas came up inside my head! Please review, the next chapter will (hopefully) be up soon!
