Chapter 24
The Visser's relatively small andalite body appeared to turn to stone. Then he shifted and twisted and morphed into what seemed to be the guy from the NeverEnding story. The big rock guy, but more believable. He pushed some hork bajir out of the way, stepped on another one, and went to find Rachel. {Kill him!} he bellowed.
The seven remaining hork bajir raised their guns and pointed them at us. I quickly stripped my outer clothing off and began to morph to hork bajir. Sam smiled at the hork bajir as he picked up the guns out of their hands. His eyes were glowing an intense deep red.
"So sorry, I think you need these." He said as he threw them behind the blade ship. "Too bad." He shot at one, then another. I looked to Marco and Cassie for help, but they weren't there. I jumped out into the clearing to see Visser Three behind the blade ship tearing up building after building looking for Rachel. I could only hope he didn't find her.
I decided to help Sam. He started firing at one after another, but only enough to stun them. I shot at a few. "Thanks." Sam said. He put his gun away and grabbed a knife. At first I wondered where he got it, but I didn't care. He threw it at the nearest hork bajir and it hit him right in the chest. It went down, slowly. Sam dashed forward and I shot at another one.
Sam drop-kicked one in the chest, knocking it over. He 'summoned the knife to his hand and stabbed it into the hork bajir's chest. I shot at any hork bajir that came close to him. It was hard, because they moves so fast.
Then out of a building, came an orange and black blur. It was Jake in tiger morph! He took down one hork bajir. Two came at me and I shot them. Two were on Sam. One was on Jake. We had our work cut out for us.
The two I shot were not down for long, as I had it on stun. And the hork bajir were a bit more bulky than humans. Sam was pushing the hork bajir away with telekinesis. I generally kept the two on me down with the dracon. I turned up the power a bit as they came at me again. I only shot one down before the other got to me.
Sam had eventually gave up and kick vaulted off one and slit the other's throat. It started gushing blood. The one he kicked down got up and dashed at him. He laid on his back and pushed it up high with telepathy. He threw the knife up and it stabbed the hork bajir in the back. It came down on it with a scream. It was horrible. Sam turned it over and pulled out his knife.
Meanwhile, I had a hork bajir on me. We slashed and slashed at each other until I kicked him over. I aimed the gun at him, but he kicked it out of my hands. I slashed down at him and he dodged. I jumped at him, but he raised a knee to my gut. I could feel the gash, but there were no innards coming out, so I continued to fight.
I reached down and picked up the hork bajir by the throat. He tried to slash at my arms with his wrist blades, but they didn't turn that way. So he kicked me. I threw him back and rolled to pick up my dracon beam. I aimed it at him, but he was thrown aside by Sam into the hork bajir that Jake was fighting.
Sam was holding a little burlap bag. It was filled with something.
"What's in the bag?" I asked in my hork bajir voice.
"Who cares." He said. "We need to help Rachel!" He dropped the bag and ran over behind the blade ship where the Visser was still violently tearing at the half-buildings. I saw a cat darting from one building to another. I jumped on the blade ship and fired.
{Get down!} Jake screamed.
"I need to help her!" I replied. He left me alone. I continued to fire at the giant rock wall that was Visser Three. It seemed to do no more than blacken his skin.
He took the time in between building crushing to swing a giant hand at me. The hand was almost as big as I was! I flew of the blade ship and hit a wall. I fell to the ground, huffing and puffing, trying to suck in air.
I eventually got up to see Visser three coming my way. He was running straight at me! I quickly took careful aim and shot directly at his eyes. He clutched his face with the giant hands, and fell to the ground. As a black and white cat dashed directly at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of yellow swooping in and grab the cat off the ground. The golden eagle that was Whitney just barely made it out from under the huge rock body of Visser Three before he hit the ground.
He lay before me for only a second before getting back up.
{ARRRRGH!} he yelled. {you will pay!} he swung a giant fist at me. I had nothing left to do, and he punched me right through the building behind me.
I seemed to lose consciousness for a second or two because I woke up to see a giant hand ripping through the roof of a building. The moonlight shone in to reveal the ugliest face I had ever seen, with a giant black mark on the left eye. He reached in as a flash of red pierced the night sky. Then five more joined in. He stopped and concentrated on the source of the beams.
I got up to see what was happening. I crawled out the window, and saw a bunch of dracon beams hovering in the air, shooting repeatedly at Visser Three. He shielded his face with one hand and swung at the guns. The guns seemed to react and back away.
He stopped swinging an demorphed. A seemingly bold act. Sam stopped the shooting.
When he was done demorphing, Visser Three said to Sam, {Ah, yes. What a wonderful gift you have been given. Join me and see what true power you possess. I can make your wildest dream come true, we can rule the galaxy together.}
Sam shook his head slowly. "And what, be killed because the novelty wore off? Be your second-hand man? No, you want me under your power to use me, I don't know what type of lame excuses you use on regular humans, but you do not appeal to me. Besides, even if you did try to put a slug in me, you wouldn't be able to control me. Look at the principal, he was able to fight back, and he was simply a pawn. Sorry, but no thanks, I play my own game, not yours." Sam summoned the dracon's to his burlap sack. They all went in, then he aimed and shot, but the Visser had moved within the Blade Ship's shielding system.
{Fool, you will get away this time, but if you consider my offer, I will gladly make you Visser Five, or even Four, and I have that power.}
{Okay guys, I think this is our time to go. Our welcome has been expired.} I heard Jake say.
{Where's the rest of us?} I asked.
{Already gone. We are the only three left. I have already morphed, and am on my way out, I hope you will be able to take care of yourselves?}
{No problem.} I began to demorph, then I put my clothes back on to add to the affect. I looked to the clearing to see that Sam was already gone, and the Visser was cleaning up the mess. I saw a bunch of taxxons come out to finish off the dead hork bajir.
I took this opportunity while the taxxons were feasting on flesh to get out unnoticed. For safety, I walked all the way home the long and twisty way. It was well after midnight by the time I got there.
I flopped on the floor and fell asleep after making sure Sam was there and asleep already
