Tobias's Legacy Part 6

Enemy with Two Faces

Chapter 1

"Anthony, it's on!"

I looked up at the sound of Meg's voice. I got up and ran to my chair in front of the TV.

Oh, and I'm Anthony. I've decided that if you don't know what happened in the beginning, you shouldn't hear this story.

Anyway, it was a month after we had met the Animorphs, two after we'd met Kandi and the others, and it was Friday night. Tobias would be coming down from his town anytime to check in on us. He came by every weekend to check up on us. We originally planned for it to be every second weekend, but considering we ran into some trouble one night during a mission, we decided to change it so we would have an extra hand.

I watched the news that night, as usual, to scan for any Yeerk activity. Dr. Jakob Richmond, a famous doctor from New York, was an important controller, as was his daughter, Nicky. Richmond was a scientist for Visser Three, who was here to promote the Sharing, and to help Visser Five, who ran this area's invasion. Nicky Richmond was, unfortunately, Sub-Visser Ten.

I watched as Richmond and his bodyguards entered the Sharing HQ. He was going to feed I guess. Then, it cut to another scene, inside the Sharing HQ.

An Andalite! He was firing a Dracon beam at Richmond. Richmond ducked, rolled and ran towards the exit.

I watched in amazement. An Andalite?

The news reporters claimed the whole thing to be a hoax. A prank to embarrass Richmond.

Yeah, right.

I heard a knock at the door.

6:30. Tobias was right on time.

Meg got up and answered the door. She returned with the Animorphs.

"Guys, Tobias told us that we should all come today." Jake explained.

"Yeah. Well, perfect timing. Watch this video." I said.

They watched in amazement as the Andalite attacked Richmond.

Jake finally said it.

"It's Arbat!"

"What?" Meg asked in confusion.

Ax, in human morph, explained it to us.

"Arbat is an Andalite t-uh, who betrayed his student and myself. Fuh. Fuh is an interesting mouth sound."

Marco rolled his eyes, "Yeah, kind of like "Ho."

Ax stared at him.

"Ho?"

"Guys," I interrupted, "what are we going to do? I mean, we have a traitorous Andalite on the loose, who is probably insane, so we kind of need a plan."

Rachel nodded and grinned.

"He betrayed us before. Why not just put him out of his misery?"

"And everyone else's," Marco muttered, "Look, I don't know if you noticed, but we may not be able to find this psycho!"

I nodded. The news had ended after the video had played. That was almost ten minutes ago.

Jake sighed as everyone looked to him.

"Call the others."

"Some psychopathic Andalite shot up the Sharing headquarters?" Adam asked. I nodded. "Cool!" he replied with a wide grin.

"That means that we have an extra problem," Zi remarked. Jake nodded.

"We may have to take extreme force to take care of him," Jake told us all. We all agreed.

"I just hope that he's our last problem." I muttered.

"Coming from you," Adam replied, "we're screwed."
