A/N: yes here it is, the long awaited final chapter of this fic, or perhaps it is not all that much waited for, I don't know. Anyway, as I said before, I have begun work on the third story in this trilogy, but it will not be up for a while, due to the amount of work that I have to do at school. A big Thank you goes to everyone who has read this, and a special thank you to all those of you who have reviewed.
Congratulations to Tomgirl127 who reviewed, here is your answer.
Chapter 11
The rest of us, minus Tamitha, who knew who these people were, just stood there in shock. Tamitha, Cassie and Rachel had kept walking forward and now Tamitha turned back around and sniggered at us.
"Mr. Logan," Tamitha said, "I thought you said you all were going to destroy that."
"It's Logan, kid" he replied, "and we are, just gonna check it out first. Looks like some of yer friends are havin' a little trouble believing that we're actually here, just as ya said they would."
Yes, well it is a little hard to grasp the idea that in the middle of a forest is sitting the x-jet and two characters only know to exist in comics, books and movies, I said, but that with everything else that has happened in our lives, this doesn't seem too far fetched.
Snikt! "Okay," Logan called, "who said that cause I know it wasn't Red or Chuck."
"Sugah, relax," the girl said, "That's how they communicate with each other when they're not in human form."
"Hey," Rachel said, obviously irritated, "how do you know about that. Besides that, there is no way that he just did that."
"Please relax Rachel, he can in fact do that, and we know about you all mostly because Rogue here read all about you in a book series." The professor said as he Cyclops, Storm, and a young woman, I supposed was Shadowcat, exited the x-jet, "Tobias, would you be as kind as to come down where it is possible for us to see you. It was you who spoke just now, correct?"
Yes, sir, I said as I flew down to Tamitha's shoulder. Sorry about that Mr. Logan.
The claws slid in, "it's Logan, don't worry about it, I still can't get used to these two in my head, much less anyone else."
"For those of us who may not be all that familiar with comic books and such," Cassie said, "would you mind explaining a few things?"
"You really have no idea who these people are?" Marco asked, finally coming out of his shock, "Ax I can understand, but you guys, how is that possible?"
Before he could continue I heard someone coming and took off into the air to inspect.
"What is it," Jake asked, that last person to come out of shock.
Looks like the Visser isn't too please that we got away, or maybe he sent bug-fighters to investigate the high tech jet that landed here, I honestly don't know.
I could sense that the wheels in Jake's heads were turning but not as fasts as Cyclops' (he had probably been in more battles) "Storm, can you bring them down?" he asked and her eyes glazed over white. Marco started jumping up and down like a little kid, Cassie and Rachel still looked a little lost as Ax stared in wonder at the white-haired mutant and at the changing sky.
"Jake," Cyclops said, "We've never dealt this these before, any suggestions?"
Jake stared up at him (though they were almost eye to eye) in a wide eyed, mouth-opened shock, well until, "the engines?" which was said more as a question than anything else.
None of us had ever seen Jake like this, it was kinda funny, and so it didn't surprise me when Rachel began to laugh.
It began to rain and before we knew it two huge lighting bolts appeared in the sky followed by the sound of fiery crashed nearby. I went back to my previous perch on Tamitha's and I noticed that she was still losing blood from her gun-shot wound, even though she had demorphed, and swayed a little before she sat down.
"Thanks," Rachel told them, "that saved us from having to morph again, and it gave us a good laugh."
"Is there a place where we can go in order to discuss all that has recently occurred?" The professor asked.
Yeah, Ax and I have a place in the forest near Cassie's house, you all are welcome there, I suggested. We can't take Tamitha to the hospital, 'cause we have to keep her hidden from the Yeerks, but she really could use a doctor.
"I'm a doctor," Jean Grey said as she stepped forward, and Marco and Jake nodded quickly, "I wouldn't mind helping in any way that I could."
Thanks, I replied, are you guys gonna fly there in the jet?
"Yes," Professor Xavier said, turning his wheel chair to return to the jet, "you are welcome to join us since we require assistance navigating to your home."
Marco didn't even think twice as he ran to get on board, Jake followed in basically the same fashion and was followed by Rachel ad Cassie who rolled their eyes at the two of them.
Ax stepped forward towards me, I understand that Prince Jake trusts these people, but how can we be so sure that they are trust worthy? he indicated to the Wolverine, and I understood where he was coming from.
Ax-man, these are good guys, trust me. Though I do see your point.
Ax jumped a little as Dr. Jean Grey telekinetically lifted Tamitha and flew her into the jet. Amazing, he murmured as the two of us went to join the others in the x-jet. Before we had al gotten the way in you could hear Marco and Jake's exclamations as they walked through out the jet.
Ax, I think it might be safer for us if we morphed human, I said also staring in awe of things that I still couldn't believe were true.
He nodded his head and we morphed to human form and Wolverine commented with a few words that it looked messed up and Storm couldn't believe that it didn't hurt. Once we had all buckled in and had given basic instruction on how to get to the scoop, Rogue turned to us with a bag of books in her lap and as she pulled them out asked us what had just happened.
All seven of us stared at those books in shock, there were titled Animorphs and on the cover of each of them, one of us was morphing into a different animal. Kitty turned to us in amusement.
"Where the hell did you get those," Rachel commented.
"They're all over the place where we're from." Rogue replied.
"I think you need to seriously start explaining." I said.
"When we arrive at your scoop everythin' will be explained, though ah think that you all know us as fictional characters as we do you."
Marco sighed, and everyone turned to him, "I think we all know how this happened," he said, "only one being that we know has the power or the mind to do this,"
The six conscious Animorphs said that name in unison - "Ellimist."
To be concluded...
