"Adventures in Clubbing"

Written by: Doctor Strangelove

My name is Esthrill-Six-Two-Nine of the Sket Nair pool. I am Visser Nine.

I was only recently promoted to the glorious position of Visser Nine. It was in the Earth month of September, about four months ago. I had been using a human youth named Tom as my host for nine months and during that time I had been developing a plan. A plan to create an army of super strong humans. A plan to that would allow my Master to rule much more easily.

I, unlike others of my kind, do not fear the wrath of Visser One or the Council of Thirteen. They mean nothing to me. My Master is more powerful than them all.

It was several years ago when He first contacted me. Told me I had the potential to be great. To be a general in His glorious army. I was just a lowly Yeerk, I hadn't even reached the rank of Sub-Visser, but He saw me for what I really was. A powerful warrior.

He used His powers to help me advance to Sub-Visser Six. A position where I wielded much power. Then He told me of his divine plan. I was to gather a human for infestation. I never questioned why, for I know that He has His reasons. The human was Tom Berenson.

I received great luck in that area. One of my deeply loyal subordinates, Sonra-Eight-Four-Three of the Sket Nair pool, has a host very close to this Tom.

It was not yet time for me to take Tom as my own host, so I had Sonra infest him. I took control of Sonra's host, a human youth named Jason Montoya, and assisted Sonra in taking control of Tom.

After a while though, my Master told me that it was time to take the plan into action. That was a little over one year ago. I infested Tom and took him as my host and then I saw.

Tom had an idea. A sort of club for human youths struggling with homosexuality. Proving what a fool species they are. Only arrogant busybody species repress natural sexuality. But Tom's idea, it would be an excellent way to gather more host for His divine plan.

That was Phase One. I told the plan to the higher powers of the Yeerk empire and they agreed. We began construction, under the guise of a faction of The Sharing. To make acquiring new hosts even easier, my Master gave me a serum. It would make humans more mellow and open to suggestion, making it much easier to infest. The serum is also addictive, making the humans want more of it. We put the serum in a food the humans call hot wings.

But that was only Phase One. Phase Two was making the army. My Master had ties to an intelligent race called the Coo-Hatch. They were excellent welders and had developed the strongest metal I have ever seen. We used their metal and infused it with a host's skeleton system. Making them stronger than ever before and nearly invincible.

This plan got me promoted to Visser Nine, a position I hold with great pride. The only downside to His great plan is that the Yeerk is trapped inside the host, for good. Kept alive by the glorious Kandrona rays as long as I'm submerged in the Yeerk pool. A slight grievance, being stuck in a human body. But the strongest human alive. It has perks.

The Council of Thirteen insisted there be a reversal. Just in case. So, to appease them, my Master showed me a way to shut down all Yeerks currently residing in a superior host. It'll instantly kill the host, and the Yeerk. I do not fear, however, for I am the only Yeerk with the correct codes. The Council of Thirteen were given the false ones.

And now, His plan is in action. Soon the Yeerks, the Andalites, the humans, and all other races will see. He will show them all.

Big plans, indeed.


To reviewers:
Jinako-chan:
Yeah, the Jake morphing was creepy. But the idea appealed to me. I love writing Tom's POV. It's easy, there's a lot of me in there, and fun too. But I'm only going to get to do it like one more time. Shame. As for the book, well either I made a mistake and forgot something or the Yeerk that infested Jake in #6 is a liar. Yep, he's a damn dirty ape, I mean, liar. Jason being similar to Marco is not foreshadowing. He's based on a guy I know and when I was writing it I realized how similar he is to Marco. It's a coincidence. I like Tom and Jason too. And Jason will show up again, but not for a long time. OOC bombs, eh? I like Hulk. I try to appease Hulk the best I can. I'm glad I cheered you up. And I don't mind long reviews. I actually like them. I seem to get a lot for this fic too.
lauren: I was afraid people wouldn't fall for the April Fool's joke. It seemed kind of rushed and not like a real chapter to me.
_angelofshad0ws_ : I'll keep writing. 'Cause of Spring Break I'm gonna update a lot this weekend.
Lisa-Ann: A few answers, *buddy*.
1. Hee hee. Evil!Cassie is fun.
2. I know what Citrus Polos are. Okay, fine, I looked up what they are but that doesn't change my point. ...Did I have a point?
3. Well, you see, I talked to K. A. Applegate and she said that she originally wanted to make Tom gay but Scholastic wouldn't allow. So, really, I'm right and the book is wrong. You can ask her yourself if you want. Her e-mail is strangelove317@hotmail.com.
4. Okay. I'm gonna update a lot this week.
Aqua Rhapsody: I seem to be on a writing streak so I made not need to take a break for a while.
Aaren: No, the Jason resembling Marco thing was a coincidence. I liked Tom's POV too, and I'm gonna try to work him in more, 'cause he's fun to write. I agree, slash is good if no PWP. It's actually possible to have slash and not have sex in it. Like this fic. Well, there was implied sex. But for the most part...
Silent Emotionalist: Yeah, fan! I love you people. I'm not gonna stop till I get to the end.
Myself: ...ROTFLMAO! I didn't even think of that when I wrote it. But Jake's not gonna be naked in this fic anymore so I guess we'll never know. I brought back the chicken wings (briefly), just for you.
