DISCLAIMER: No, I don't own the Animorphs. . .but. . .**climbs up the fire
escape of the Scholastic building and breaks through a window.** Cool,
there's no one around. **Heads for the elevator and pulls the lever**
Wait, the lever!? BREEET! BREEET! **realizes she accidentally pulled the
fire alarm** CRAP! **is arrested and kicked out**
Again, that means I don't own the Animorphs.
NOTE: Heh, okay it's not just talking anymore in this chapter. They actually DO something now. Oh and Triple Point. . .hehehehehehehe. And thanks for the Sario Rip stuff, I suddenly had a burst of inspiration. I'm tweaking some of my intended storyline because of your review and making it better. See, those review thingamabobbers DO work!
Marco -
I walked home from Cassie's barn. Normally I'd morph osprey and fly home, but not this time. If something did blow up in my face and hurl me into a different timeline and into the ocean, I wanted to be able to morph dolphin right away, and we still can't morph from one animal to another.
Yes, it was sad. I, the Mighty Marco, protector of Earth, master of the Playstation, king of all things cyberspace, and not to mention blindingly handsome and witty, was jumping at loud noises.
Ax had stayed at Cassie's barn, goggling at how turtle shells work. Tobias stayed too. Jake and Rachel were walking with me, since we lived in the pretty much same neighborhood. After my dad got his act together and started working again, we could afford a pretty decent house.
"If we're having these visions, doesn't it mean they already happened?" Rachel wondered. "Can we escape it?"
"What you think it's destined to happen or something?" Jake asked.
"I don't believe in destiny. I control me. . .but. . ."
"I bet our friendly neighborhood Andalite knows." I said. We had reached the end of Cassie's property and took a shortcut through the woods.
Yeah, a shortcut. You'd think we'd have learned from our mistakes, huh?
Anyway, I didn't really think anything would happen. We were separated. In the visions we were all together, so during the explosion that opened the Sario Rip we had to be together. At least I knew nothing would be blowing up right now. I hoped.
Cassie - (Note: yeah, I just had to make a quick switch. Sorry.)
As I was cleaning up the barn I found a leather wallet under a bale of hay.
"Who's is this?"
Open it. Tobias said.
I did. Marco's idiotic grin stared up at me from his school ID.
That is Marco. But what is the purpose of a card with Marco's information? Ax asked.
It's for school. Every once in a while they check to make sure you belong there. Tobias said.
Why must it have a photograph? Does the bearer not have the same face? Ax wondered.
"Well sometimes people lie, you know, to get in clubs and stuff." I answered.
Why would they lie to get in a club?
Uh, well, sometimes things go on in certain clubs that most people don't want young people like us to see. Or drink. Tobias said nervously.
What, like war? Violence? Clorox? Ax said, thoroughly confused.
"Clorox?"
Prince Jake advised me not to drink Clorox because it is harmful to one's health.
Yeah, well, not exactly, but some things just aren't appropriate. Tobias said.
Ah. Ax said, as if he understood.
Sooo, we should return it to him, they probably didn't go that far. Tobias said, not wanting to pursue the subject further..
"Sure, I'll come along, there's nothing left to do here." I brushed away the straw from my pants and walked out of the barn. Ax morphed human and followed me. Tobias flew overhead.
Marco -
"Does Ax take baths?" I wondered out loud. We were well into the forest, and it just occurred to me that the forest is not a very clean place.
"Oh my god, I just remembered how much I hate walking with you." Rachel moaned.
"Good question." Jake said thoughtfully. Rachel rounded on him.
"It was not!"
"Was too!" I shot back for good measure.
"Maybe Andalites have an auto-cleaning mechanism built in." Jake speculated. "Like their internal clock and compass."
"Or maybe they just need to stick their hooves in Listerine once in a while?" I suggested.
Rachel muttered something under her breath that sounded a lot like "Weirdos."
I suddenly heard a twig snap behind me. We all turned around. We froze.
Behind us were two grimy-looking guys, one in a green T-shirt and one in a red jacket. They looked like hunters or lumberjacks or something. Both of them had nappy, greasy smelling hair and held hunting rifles in their hands.
"You're coming with us, kids." The one in green sneered.
"Show us the Andalites, human!" the red one hissed. I cursed. They had heard us. And worse, I had no doubt that they were controllers.
Behind the controllers I heard some stumbling and rustling of bushes.
Can't see, darn trees. Hey there they - Tobias was cut off as he saw the controllers. I made a quick glance up. I caught a flash of red tail-feathers.
Cassie! Ax! Turn around, run! he yelled.
Too late. Cassie ran into the clearing with Ax stumbling after her in his awkward human form. She was holding my wallet. She skidded to a stop when she heard Tobias's warning and Ax plowed into her. They fell.
Red turned and pointed a rifle at Cassie and Ax. Green aimed at Jake, Rachel, and me.
"These must be the Andalites!" Red called. He focused his eyes on Cassie and Ax. "You aren't going anywhere."
Cassie's jaw dropped. She dropped my wallet in the leaves, and I couldn't help but remember I had some girl's number in it. I stole it from the school records of course, but still. . .
"We are totally screwed beyond belief." I muttered.
TSEEEEEEERRR!
Tobias dove into Green's head.
"Ahhhh!" he yelled. He dropped his gun and clutched at his bleeding face.
Red turned, but hesitated in getting his rifle away from the "Andalites".
The hesitation allowed for Rachel and Jake to immediately dive for the dropped rifle, knocking heads and making an amusing sound like two coconuts. I would have laughed, but I thought perhaps this wasn't the best time.
"My bad!"
"Shut up and take it!" Rachel cried shrilly.
Jake clutched the rifle and aimed it at Red. Then I heard a strange clunking noise behind me. I turned around.
"What the - "
A weird looking sphere seemed to materialize out of thin air and was floating behind me. Must have been cloaked or something. It looked a little like a hunter-robot from the yeerk pool, except it was neon green. And it sounded like a dying lawnmower.
It has changed much! a voice cried.
Then a second sphere thing came clunking into view.
No! Kermu, there must be another way! a different voice yelled.
FOOL!
"Jeez, just how many freakin aliens are on our planet?!" I said in frustration.
Suddenly a yellow beam of light shot from the first sphere. The second sphere also shot a beam in retaliation. I felt the sizzling heat as they both whizzed past my face. The two intersected, and there was a blinding flash of light.
"Oh cra-"
A huge explosion! The light was so intense I could see my bones! I could Jake's skeleton trying to shield itself from the blast. I felt the blazing heat. But there was no noise. It was completely silent.
Then I blacked out.
**gasp** What were those spheres? Who are they? Read more to find out, in the next exciting episode of: Freak Apple's Looney Theater! There ya go, it's Sario Rip time, baby! Ahem, yeah. So, uh, do you like it so far? Do you hate it? Any advice? Well go down there and click the clicky thingy to submit a review! One more thing, I'm actually GOING somewhere for spring break! I won't be able to update this for a while though. . . I might be able to squeeze a chapter in before I leave tomorrow, but it looks doubtful. Oh and fun fact: you can't freeze beer.
P.S. - :- ( I don't have a magic marker. . .but I do have ice and I could always nab a duck from the park. Goose, actually. Those evil birds bit me in the butt once! Well, it kinda got stuck on my belt-loop. . .and it was a pidgeon not a goose. . .
Again, that means I don't own the Animorphs.
