***I DON'T OWN ANIMORPHS OR DRAGONBALL Z******************************

Chapter 5

Old Adversaries, New Enemies

(Rachel)

"Well, that's enough of the story for now. I know. Cassie should be here." I said powering up to Super Saiyan 3. "I'll just swing over there and get her."

Ax was in his human morph, stuffing his face full of food.

"Take your time." Ax said. "Could I get a couple more egg rolls and if it is all possible, a Cinnabon?"

I instant-transmitted while laughing. I appeared over the Hork-Bajir colony and was rather surprised to find only Toby there. She seemed about as surprised as I was. That was understandable, seeing as how I've been dead for a few years. I flew down to see her.

"Would the human term, angel, apply here?" Toby asked me.

"Well, I've seen the puffy white clouds but I am no angel. You should know that, Toby." Rachel said. "Do you know where Cassie is?"

"She goes to Yosemite. But she came back here to help me pick up some things and she should be in the town." Toby replied. "We lived there for a while. Ever since your death actually."

I flew up into the air and waved goodbye. I flew towards the closest town to see a rather peculiar osprey perched in a tree. Instant-transmitting myself right by it startled the pseudo-hawk.

AH! Cassie yelled.

"Well, hello to you too. Is that anyway to greet your best friend?" I asked her.

Rachel! Cassie exclaimed. How is this possible?

"Let's just say that the Drode watches one too many cartoons." I said beginning to laugh.

We both began to laugh until an energy orb knocked me through a local Starbucks, a block away. I crashed into the cappuccino machine and had destroyed anyone's chance of having an espresso. A figure appeared outside the Starbucks that I was sure had to be dead. Buucellini was laughing outside the coffee shop. I went Super-Saiyan 3 and began to fight this resurrected monster. About an hour and a half into the fight, Buucellini looked at me with a familiar look in his eyes.

"You fight well, Animorph." Buucellini said.

"How did you know that?!" I asked throwing another energy orb in his direction.

Buucellini dodged the attack. "I know because I am Visser One." Buucellini said.

"You can't be. Buucellini is too powerful for you to infest on your own. You had help." I said.

"Quite correct. You see, Crayak didn't like how easily you beat that game of his. Now, it's payback time." Visser One said heaving an energy orb at Cassie's direction.

I knew that I couldn't get to Cassie in time to block the shot away from her. I knew that even if I did, the blast might kill us both. So, I reached out a hand and without touching her, I instant-transmitted Cassie to the Look-Out. Staring at Visser One, I smiled.

"What are you smiling for?" He asked.

"I just called for backup." I replied. "Ka-mae-ha-mae-ha!"

(Cassie)

Basically, I had no clue what in the heck was going on. My day started out normally. I went with Toby to get a few things from the old Hork-Bajir colony and it seemed normal enough. Considering one of your best friends is an eight-foot Salad Shooter. I morphed into an osprey because I wanted to let go for a while. At my perch, I saw a couple of Andalites in morph gorging on Cinnabons. Rachel did whatever she did and of course I was surprised. She was dead and now alive as she was. Then she gets into a fight with this big pink guy who also flies and come to find out, it's Visser One. I found myself flying into the face of a big green guy. He wasn't to happy with it.

"STUPID BIRD! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" He yelled brushing me aside.

His slight brush sent me into a tree. My osprey body was in serious danger of dying. I demorphed and was surprised to see the rest of the Animorphs were in the air, doing martial arts stuff, and firing energy. Ax was naturally the first one to notice me. He was in the air using his tail to fire energy balls at two boys, whom I'm glad to say, were having a tough time not getting hit. One of his stalk eyes went towards the ground to see me in my morphing suit.

Prince Jake, it seems that Cassie has arrived. Ax said.

Everyone flew down and Piccolo, as I now know him as, apologized for the brushing away. I was filled in on all the specifics on what happened then I told them what has happened in our reality. It would be a fair assumption that none of the Animorphs were happy.

"WHAT?!" Marco exclaimed. "Visser One has Buucellini as a host. This is terrific. Yeerk Hitler in control of a weapon of mass destruction. If he decided to go up against the Andalite Fleet, they'd be sunk."

Yes, they would. We must get back to our reality and help Rachel beat Visser One. Ax said turning towards the Z Fighters. Will you help us?

Everyone took everyone else's hands except for Tobias who perched himself on Piccolo's shoulder.

"Now think Rachel." Goku said.

A few seconds later, we were on the ground watching Rachel with rather long golden hair fight Visser One. Goku, Vegetta, Trunks, Gohan, and Goten each went Super-Saiyan. I watched Trunks and Goten fuse which almost freaked me out. The Z fighters went off to help Rachel but soon, everyone one was easily defeated. The Z fighters were prone on the ground in pain. I saw Jake look at Marco.

"What have we got to lose?" Marco asked rhetorically.

"We might as well try." Jake said.

They both powered up to their highest levels and I knew they were going to do that fusion dance.

"FU-SION-HAA!" They yelled in rhythm.

Jake and Marco fused and I saw someone who was rather attractive. More so than Jake and Marco had been. He had Jake's height, Marco's skin color, the hair was a mix, and on his face was a smile that was unmistakably Marco. Faster than my eye could follow, this new form of Jake and Marco went into the air and delivered a kick into Visser One's chin. Rubbing the wound, Visser One stared at him.

"And who might you be?" Visser One asked.

"The name's Jarco. And I'm here to kill you." Jarco said charging up for an attack.

Visser One divided himself somehow into two equally powerful forms both controlled by himself. Ax flew into the air and cut off the head of the duplicate. The head reformed and with a hard whack, Ax was planted into the ground. Ax got out as the duplicate threw an energy orb at him. The energy orb missed and found its way to Tobias. Tobias didn't have enough time to escape as the energy orb claimed him. Ax's face shined with pure hatred.

TOBIAS! He yelled turning to the duplicate. Everyone watched as Ax began to power-up. We watched as his muscles got bigger. Then, his fur began to shift from blue to red. Suddenly, with a violent explosion, we saw something that we though we'd never see.

"Wow." Jarco said. "A red Andalite."

If Marco had thought the Clydesdale-ish Andalite seemed strong, how Ax looked like now would have made that Andalite look like a Shetland Pony. His tail blade was twice as long and he seemed dangerous.

Now, it's time to pay for what you've done. Ax said.

"Next time on Dragonball Z, the new Super-Andalite Ax and Jarco, Jake and Marco's fused form, give it their all to defeat this monster. However, with Visser One's intelligence and Buucellini's power, the two warriors are no match for the monster. When Visser One fires an energy blast and destroys Cassie, Rachel gets angry. All this and more on the next episode of Dragonball Z!"

Sayian Goddess!
