Chapter Five: The Decision...

Last Chapter:

"Magic!?" I closed my eyes and chanted my incantation. "Release thy magic, I call upon thee, Come to my aid, Light element I wish for, FIRE!" Then I opened eyes and the fire was in my hand. I saw Jake's eyes enlarge as I threw the fire to my other hand and throw it up and down. Then I concentrated at the fire and gave it to Jake. He looked at me and raised his eyes questionably. "It's ok I made it unburnable so it won't hurt." He took it and played with it a little. Then he gave it back to me and I distinguished it.

"Wow that was cool."

"Yeah, I guess I am lucky with magic, but it comes with a lot of responsibility. If you don't be careful you can die using too much magic. I not suppose to tell anybody. So you can't tell, but you will."

"I will??"

"Yes, but I know you did the right thing. But for now, don't."

"Of course I won't, I mean, I can keep the secret of being an Animorph."

"Yeah... Anyway I better go. Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day. Bye."

"Wait!" but I already jumped out the window...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jake's POV

I thought about what happened last night and decided not to tell the others what happened. Every thing was normal in school until they said later in the afternoon everybody had to gather for an assembly for a performance of the Lion King. Everyone was grumbling because it was so babyish.

Everybody was quiet when the light turned off and the show began.

I liked sitting here though, no Yeerks to worry about and being dead... Then everything stopped, and everyone. I stood up and so did Marco. Rachel woke up Cassie and they looked around. All the performers were frozen and some were in mid-air. Then we saw Ax and Tobias on the stage. They looked around and Ax said Ellimist.

"Where?" I asked, then one of our classmate stood up. Her name was Becky she had braces and freckles.

"Ellimist what is the meaning of this?"

"I decided I should get a normal hologram that you are familiar with. Oh, it looks like I forgot one person." He snapped his ...err her, it? I'm not sure but it snapped its fingers and our heads turned to the stage as we heard someone saying "HOLY SHIT!!" and then a crash.

Cherry's POV

This morning I woke up and got some new morphs in a zoo where the Animorphs got their morphs, The Gardens. I got a white tiger, a great white shark, a peregrine (sp?) falcon, cheetah, dolphin, and a fly. Actually I caught the fly when it was flying pass. It took all morning and after I was done, I ate food I packed up. Then I went to a peaceful and deserted garden. I decided to practice my fighting skills and changed into my formal fighting clothes.

I punched and kicked into the air like I was really fighting an opponent. Then I decided to do high jump kick. I jumped into the air and was about to kick the ground very hard until I saw my surroundings change. When I looked back to the ground instead the grassy ground, I saw that I was about to hit the hard cold floor.

"HOLY SHIT!!" I didn't want to break the floor so I couldn't help it but to tumble onto the floor. I couldn't stop myself and fell off which looked to me like a stage. I hit the ground headfirst. "Owww!!!!" I cried as I felt the impact. I sat up and looked up. I saw the Animorph and a girl which I new was the Ellimist with his eyes filled with amusement.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME AMNESIA OR SOMETHIN'!!???" I winced and rubbed my head.

"Sorry Cherry. I didn't know that you were training." He still had his eyes filled with amusement.

"Yeah, right." I said sarcastically

"You know what we are going to do right??"

"Yeah, yeah, I know what's going on. You can tell them while I try to heal my head. Why did you teleport me anyway I know what's gonna happen." But he didn't answer. I gathered some magic to my wound while the Ellimist was telling them what they had to do. I came in when the Ellimist finished showing his holographic space with the Iskoort. I still was rubbing my head because it was a hard impact. He said that eight of his champions and eight of Crayak's champions will be fighting.

"Wait a minute isn't it seven?"

"Well since you're here we should make it fair."

"Oh just great. Now I have to fight a howler." 'so that's why he got me'

"Well, no. He made a clone of you. Even in my opinion it doesn't look a thing like you, but has the same powers like you except morphing and your bracelet."

"Oh that just makes it a lot better, doesn't it?"

"Well I will leave you now." I disappeared and appeared were I was. I went back to my training so I could get ready for my "clone"

At Cassie's Barn...

I was in the shadows while I heard their conversation with amusement. Then they ask Jake about Crayak. The way he said "Soon..." was creepy. I saw Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, Ax, Tobias, and soon after Erek joined in. Then a little while after they finally took vote, and of course, they picked to go. Then they just had to talk about me.

"Well it looks like everybody voted except that girl, Cherry." said Cassie.

"She's like Rachel, Xena, The Warrior Princess." Marco said.

She's right here guys. Tobias looked up.

"Huh, where?!"

"Right here." I jumped off the wood I was on and landed in front of Tobias. "Nice eye sight Tobias."

Thank you, Cherry.

Then the Ellimist appeared. "Are you ready?"

"Yes. But can we-" Jake started but was cut off cause we arrived there.

IT HAS BEGUN

"Who invented this place, Dr. Suess?" Marco demanded. I knew what the place was describe like, but it was very interesting how it looked on reality.

"Back up!" I heard Jake say. I gasped at the Iskoort's appearance.... they are ugly. They were about to push us to the edge.

"Rachel!" Cassie cried. She was about to lose her balance but as in the story Erick caught her.

"Did I mention I've always wanted you along on this mission, Erek?" Rachel said shakily. "Get back, you stupid jerks!" she said to the Iskoorts.

I will buy your memories!

Come and visit my execution parlor!

Give me your clothing and I will give you credit!

Here! Eat this larva! Let it gestate and we'll split the proceeds between your heirs!

You stink horribly! I will cleanse you!

And to Ax: Become my partner and we will sell your fur as a gachak poison!

"What is this, Planet of Salesmen?" Marco demanded. "Back off! All of you, back off!"

I was being swarmed over by Iskoorts saying:

Sell me your sword with the weird markings!

Please sell me your bracelet! I can sell it for a fortune.

Can I see that bag? It looks like it carries things. I tried to push them away.

"Man, I thought there were a lot of salespeople at Nordtrom's, but this is nuts. I'll take care of this. I know how to get rid of pushy salespeople." Rachel stepped out front, hands on her hips. "We're just here to use the bathroom. Can you tell me where the ladies' room is?" The Iskoort stared, goggle-eyed. Several of them wandered away. The others continued staring at us, waiting to see if we'd loosen up and do some business.

"Now what?" Rachel wondered. "What do we do? Stand around till someone tries to kill us?"

"'The Nanny,"' Cassie observed.

"The what?"

"That sound. It sounds like Fran Drescher, the woman who plays the lead in 'The Nanny.' No offense to her."

I don't think Fran's probably around here to overhear you being rude, Tobias pointed out.

Forgive us, strangers! the leader of this crowd said. We did not expect off-worlders today. Welcome to the City of Beauty! Do you require a guide? Do you wish to sell your memories, or perhaps any unnecessary body parts?

His diaphragm whined as he thought-spoke, a low, grating sound that rose and fell like a bagpipe blown by a man with too little wind.

Cassie said "You know if they are serious about a guide..."

Jake agreed and asked them. They asked And what will you pay?

We didn't have money (except me but I wasn't going to pay for some guide!) Then as the story goes they pointed to Rachel's hair, but they also pointed at me, more precisely my hair.... wait a minute this wasn't suppose to happen!!!

Sakuli: So should I cut Cherry's hair in the story or just Rachel's?? Or should I do both?? ^____^

Cherry: What???!!! I don't want to cut my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rachel: I don't want to either!!!

Sakuli: Sorry Rachel but that's the way the story goes you have to cut your hair...

Rachel: NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherry: I don't want to cut my hair!!!

Sakuli: Well actually it's not up to me it's up to the reviewers ^____^

Cherry: PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME CUT MY HAIR PEOPLE!!!!!!

Sakuli: Shut up Cherry, I think you would go good with a cut, anyway.

Cherry: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sakuli: Oh shut up you're acting like Rachel

Cherry: *growling*

Sakuli: ^___^ well people see ya later *not noticing Cherry drawing out her sword*

Cherry: YAHHHH

Sakuli: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Everyone: Sweat drop (-.-)U
