Trapped In Middle-Earth
Part One>

Chapter 1
"Kill them!" Visser One shouted.
We were down in the Yeerk pool again. We had learned through our informant Erek that the Yeerks were building a portal to travel to other dimensions. There was no way we were going to let that happen. My name is Nicole in case you were wondering. I was seized by two Tyrants and another approached me. His tail arched over his head as he was preparing to strike me down.
"ROOOOWRR!" a sleek black figure landed atop him and sunk it's fangs into his throat then took down the two that held me.
"Thanks sis," I said.
Every time I turn around I'm saving your ass,> Stacey said.
"Activate the portal!"
I looked over and saw a swirling light appear between two poles.
That damn thing is functional!> Stacey exclaimed. Come on, we gotta stop him!>
I morphed to tiger and ran alongside her toward the portal. We slashed at anything that stood in our way. As we neared the visser he began to morph into a creature I had never seen before. His legs began to swell as his arms split into dozens of tentacles. A mouth almost as large as his newly formed head appeared, filled with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth. He grew taller and talller until his head was nearly touching the ceiling of the cavern.
It feels good having another Antarean Bogg morph. I used this to kill Prince Elfangor twenty years ago. Your father would know about that,> he said to us.
Stacey leapt and bit into one of the tentacles, it didn't appear to faze him. He raised another tentacle swatted her across the back.
Arrrgh!> she screamed in my mind. She collapsed to the ground unable to move her back legs. My spine's broke, I can't move! I need to morph out!>
I slashed and bit repeatedly, trying to distract him while Stacey demorphed, but knew it was useless, the cuts were mere pinpricks to something of that magnitude. Stacey was now human. Visser One saw this and wrapped a tentacle around her, lifting her into the air. She struggled to breathe as he squeezed tighter and tighter, crushing her.
Guys help!> I called to the others.
David was in golden eagle morph. He swooped in and clawed at Visser One's eyes. He screamed in pain and threw Stacey. Right through the portal opening.
Stacey!>
Visser One swung a tentacle and destroyed the portal. Stacey was now trapped, where ever she was.
That's one less Animorph I have to deal with,> Visser One said. Good luck getting her back.>
He stomped the remaining pieces until they were nothing but dust. I was enraged. I wanted to tear him into millions of pieces right then but Jason pulled me back toward the exit.
We have to go now!> he said.
We can't leave Stacey!>
We'll find a way to get her back. Now come on!>
I relunctantly followed. I hoped with all my heart that she was alright.
