Chapter 2: Return to Iskoort

Santorelli, Jeanne and Menderash just stood there stunned as soon as we finished the story. Santorelli and Jeanne had never heard of the Ellimist, and none of them had heard of Crayak, Howlers or the "chess game".

"Well… that isn't exactly what I was expecting to here." Santorelli said at last. Suddenly two Kelbrid came and grabbed us. We had forgotten about The One.

"Um… what exactly are you going to do to us" I asked, kind of afraid of the answer.

"I'm going to absorb you just like I absorbed your friend Aximilli."

"Why?" Jake asked, "Why? What's the purpose? How is it going to help you? Are you just going to keep absorbing us until there is nothing left?" The One looked right at Jake.

"I have suffered for billions of years." Gumby roared, " My whole race was destroyed by that asshole Crayak and now I'm going to destroy him. And the only way I can do it is by absorbing you. You three are the only ones who can provide me with the power I need"

"What do you mean?" Tobias.

"It's the morphing power. The Escafil Device was created using Zoianic, a powerful substance buried deep in the crust of the Andalite homeworld. When harnessed right, in this case as a device to collect and manipulate DNA, it has unlimited power. But using Zorianic itself can't give me power, for it needs to be in a living person. That's why I must absorb you 'Animorphs'."

The One stuck both his rectangular arms out at Jake. Jake started to melt and be sucked towards The One, until Jake hit The One and was dissolved into his body. He then turned towards Tobias. I tried to stop him, but some unknown force stopped me. I was powerless. Tobias started to melt and be sucked towards Gumby, and it seemed to be much quicker this time. Then he got ready to absorb me.

Suddenly I was in inside-out world again. Jeanne, Santorelli and Mendorash were there as well.

"Okey, now I've seen everything." Santorelli said.

NEVER SAY THAT YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING JACKSON F. SANTORELLI, BECAUSE SOMETHING STRANGER WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN.

"Now even I'm confused. Why have you taken us to Inside-out world?" I asked.

CRAYAK AND I CANNOT LET "THE ONE" GAIN FULL POWER, SO YOU ARE GOING TO BE TRANSPORTED TO A RANDOM AREA OF THE UNIVERSE. IT IS THE ONLY WAY IN THE RULES I CAN STOP THE UNIVERSE PLUNGING INTO DARKNESS.

Suddenly were in the "Rachel" again. I looked around for Tobias and Jake, but I couldn't find them. They were part of The One now.

"Mendorash, where are we." I asked.

"According to he Star Chart we are in… Iskoort territory. The Iskoort homeworld is about 5 light years away."

"Iskoort territory? Could this journey be any worse?"

Author's note: Sorry this chapter was a little short, but I wanted to get The One out of the picture and the real story started. And just in case your wondering, the reviews weren't deleted, I accidently deleted the story so I had to upload it again.

Ash Ketchum (reviewer): What do you mean Who Cares? We've seen the Animorphs go through many journeys without dying, and it sucks that one of them dies just before they've defeated the Yeerks.

I'm just saying that people shouldn't get so upset about her dying. In my opinion it's good that she died, because it makes the series darker and more realistic. And there are way too many fanfics on FFNet where she survives.
