Chapter 22
The Visser struck at Sam with lightning speed. Sam stopped the tail with telekinesis. He was probably expecting the strike. Sam drew his sword and slashed off the end foot of the Visser's tail. {AAARRRGGGHHH!} he screamed. Sam replied by stabbing the blade through his chest. You could see the blade come out the other side bloodied. {AAARRRGGGHHH!} he replied again.
When Sam retracted the sword, he collapsed in a bloody heap on the ground. The hork bajir who were once waiting now joined in the fight. Sam just kept them all at bay by forming what seemed to be an invisible wall around him as he jumped away, shooting at the group of them.
"Have Fun Visser, Remember my offer!" I could hear Sam yell as he iced yet another bug fighter that was now chasing him. They got the hint and stayed on the ground.
The big ass truck ship finally hit the ground in one large fireball. I could feel the concussion of waves on my weak bird body. I toppled head over tail and fell wildly.
I regained control to see some of the remaining hork bajir carrying Visser Three into his untouched blade ship. I am assuming he was going to morph to repair the wound. If not, he would die, but then again, I didn't know much about andalite anatomy, maybe it missed his evil heart.
{Sam.... How?} I stammered. {How did you get here?}
He didn't answer, but I knew what he was thinking. Tell ya later. He flew just above the treetops away. I didn't know he could fly, he told me he couldn't. He stopped to pick up his bag of weapons before blasting away. I was dumbfounded.
{That was Sam, right?} Rachel asked, uncertain.
{I think so.}
{What was that about an offer?} she asked. I didn't know, so I stayed silent. We flew off, not knowing what was going on.
I finally made it home to see that Sam wasn't yet there. No biggie, he was probably on his way. I sat down, completely tired from all the morphing. Even though it usually doesn't bother me, the others were always whining that the morphing tires them out, I didn't believe them until today, I was pooched.
Anyway, I was about to hit the sack when I heard a huge explosion not too far away. I was obliged to check it out.
I flew out the front door and saw a bug ship hovering above the trees. I decided to go after it after I grabbed a small dagger and beam weapon. Thank god we had a steady supply of them.
I chased through the underbrush, stumbling over my own feet from fatigue. Eventually I saw a giant fireball in the forest. The forest was going to burn up, and our house was going to go down with it. I stopped. The wall of fire was going to be hard to judge so I could get through without burning me.
I backed up and ran forward. I jumped through the burning underbrush to see Sam on one side and three hork bajir on the other along a torn bug fighter.
"You can't win, yeerks." Sam said. "Not an icicle's chance in hell."
"Frash! Die human!" One of them yelled as he raised his weapon.
"You don't learn, do you." He said as he made a fist. The weapon was lifted and brought down in the middle.
The heat was unbearable. "Do something about this fire." I suggested. "I will take care of them." It was laughable, but oh well. I raised my gun and shot the first one. Sam began to get rid of the fire.
The other two came at me. I ducked under th first swing and had to bend over backwards to avoid the next one. I was vulnerable when he tried to stab me in the neck. I twisted sideways and straight up to see another blade coming at me. I used the dagger shielding my forearm to deflect it off to the side.
I ducked under yet another punch to end up behind both of them. I looked around to see that the flames were slowly dying down. Good, no forest fires today.
The two of them turned around and came at me. I backed away, ducked, and dodged for a while before I knew I was not in the fight anymore. I arched my back and fell flat on my ass, for sam was going to take this over. He stood behind me and pushed them very far away, to the other side of the little clearing.
I aimed my gun and....
The fire was still not gone, but sam was working on it. "Okay, we have to go." Sam told me. "They followed me back and I made sure to not go home. They are probably still watching me, so you should maybe stay out here with me."
"Okay, besides, we need to figure some things out, Rachel has informed me of a little concluding meeting, so be sure to be there." I said. "Oh, and I do believe I said I wanted to be there the first time."
