Chapter 10
When we got back to the little creek where we started, we all kind of kept quiet. Who knew who was around. Anyways, everyone was pretty eager to go home and rest. We were all pretty tired after the shark attack thing. In fact, they were having a hard time making it back to shore, they were so tired. It bothered me, really, it did. I had absolutely no problem with the morphing tiring me out. It usually left me refreshed, because the new body had yet to be drained of energy.
Or maybe I was talented. For instance, I was the fastest morpher, next to cassie. Sometimes I could do it faster, sometimes she could do it faster. Nobody else couldn't even come close. They were slowpokes.
Oh well, anyways, it ended up just being me, Whitney, and Cassie left under the bridge. We were talking about what was happening.
"So, you say you know where the andalite is?" I asked.
"We think. I don't know how to describe it, but the whale actually was able to tell us what was happening. It is hard to describe unless it happened to you, sorry." Whitney said. "But it was like he showed us a video of what happened."
"It is really hard to describe." Cassie added. "But I can almost guarantee I know where the andalite is."
I shook my head. "I believe you, and you know that, but it will be hard to try and get Marco and Rachel to believe you. It does sound kind of farfetched." I informed them.
Cassie walked up out of the water and turned around. "I know, but I also know Jake will get them to understand."
Whitney laughed. "I agree completely. I can see it, Jake trying to tell Marco that although it was a long shot, it was more than he had and therefore was enough to go by."
We all laughed and let it be at that. I was planning on going home and resting. It was a long day, even though I was not yet tired.
So I morphed peregrine falcon and flew off back home. I knew Sam had my clothes there, and Tobias would be there too, probably wanting to hear how it went.
By the time I made it home, the sun was just barely still peeking over the horizon. It was getting late. And, of course, Sam was out in the field practising martial arts. I flew down to him and demorphed in the tree, right where I like to sit as a human.
"Good to see you again." He said, then stopped to come over and sit up in the tree with me. "How'd it go?" He asked as he settled down in his normal branch.
"It was alright." I answered. Then proceeded to tell him about the fight with the sharks and the whale who told Cassie where the ship was and so on and what not. And, of course, he was speculative. He didn't believe me. Then something caught my eye.
"Where's Tobias?" I asked.
"Rachel came by already and took him away to tel him how it went." Sam answered.
"They didn't fill you in?"
"Nope, said you would. Oh well. They were right."
I grabbed onto one of the branches and swung myself down and fell to the ground. Sam soon followed.
We both walked to the house and went inside. He wanted to talk more, but I just made myself a peanut butter and jam sandwiches and kept to myself.
"Do you think that Jake will find a way to make me be able to go with you when you go to get the andalite?" He asked. I just shrugged my shoulders. "I want to go." He insisted.
"Well, you can't morph, how do you think you are going to morph. Can you fly that long?" I asked.
"Yeah, it really isn't that hard to keep it up, all you have to do is keep concentrating, the mind doesn't tire as quickly as the body, at least not with this." He said. I just shrugged my shoulders. He left me alone. He got the point.
I got into bed and fell asleep with him still awake. I didn't care, what was I to do?
When I opened my eyes, I was in a strange world, built of lego's. I was in a tower, made of many big blocks of different loud colours. It was really weird.
I closed my eyes hoping to wake up, but I didn't. So I pinched myself. Nothing. Then a slap. Nothing. Oh well, so what. Maybe I took a hit of acid and didn't know it. Who knew. When I got up, I could see other towers similar to the one I was in. I was right by the edge, and there was no railing. I looked over the side and below me I saw the clouds....about a mile down.
I quickly backed away from the railing and bumped into someone walking by. "Sorry." I said. The guy just huffed. I looked around and saw the strangest creature. Really wrinkly, with a vulture beak head and an accordion for a chest. Weird.
{No Problem.} the guy said in thought speech.
I was shaken, but not stirred. It confused me. Where was I? I asked myself. I took a walk. After about ten minutes, I was concerned. I hoped it was only a dream, but it was incredibly long and detailed for a dream.
All around, I could see the little polka guys running around the dr suess tower. I was really getting confused, when I saw something that looked vaguely like a human, but it's skin resembled that of cooling lava. Around it's waist was a set of what looked like weapons. I wasn't sure, except a beam weapon that looked like a dracon beam. I knew he wasn't friendly, but I walked up to him anyway.
"Excuse me, but could you tell me where the way out is?" I asked it. He then said something that I most certainly couldn't understand, then eight more of the lava beasts came from assorted doors. They all started screaming something to each other then they began to run at me.
I couldn't tell why, but I was completely calm about all this, like I wasn't even there. I closed my eyes and raised my hands. When I opened my eyes again, al the beasts were within ten feet of me, banging on an invisible wall. I tilted my head to the side. I couldn't understand what was doing. I lowered my hands and they all fell forward.
Having fun with this little game, I raised my hands again, hoping it would do the same thing. And well, it did, almost. Instead, they were all thrown back like they had been hit by some sort of explosion. I concentrated on trying to figure out what was going on and suddenly, a little glowing blue dome appeared over me.
It was weird. I thought about it as the black creatures got up. Gone, back, gone, back, all at a single thought. Simple. I liked it. I decided to lower the shield. One of them raised a weapon and all the others backed away. I outstretched a palm in a giving manner, but instead, the gun was brought to my hand, right out of his.
Then, something really odd happened. I crushed the gun in my hand. Like it was a tin can, it crumpled as I squeezed it. Like I was superman or something.
Now, at this point, I was only half in control. Something else was also controlling me. I would like to say it was some sort of instinct, but I quickly ruled that out. Something was controlling me. Like another voice in my head, telling me what to do.
So I gave in to this voice, it seemed to know what it was doing. Since the black lava dudes were all coming at me at the same time at that time, I thought it would be best.
But all nine of them were being thrown to the walls one way and the other with the simple waving of my hand. One after another, like rag dolls. Eventually, they started throwing grenades and stuff at me. When they exploded, I simply used the energy to jump in the opposite direction, bouncing off the walls and dropkicking two of the beasts. The 'fight', if that was what you were going to call it, lasted about ten minutes before I got sick of it all and raised my hand to te roof and all of them stuck to the roof like it was velcro. They couldn't move.
Then I let them all down, and everything slowed down. I jumped up and kicked one after another, still in the air and falling. Jumping from one to the other, kicking them all around, when all of them were lying on the floor, 'I' decided to leave.
As I exited the room, I felt something hit the back of my head. It only felt like being hit in the head with a spoon, but I closed my eyes, annoyed. I turned around and opened them to a brilliant flash of blue, then the lava creature that hit me was stuck against the wall by about three shining, bright blue shards of, well, something. I shook my head and the blue shards disappeared, the creature falling to the ground, bleeding all over himself. He was holding something that resembled a sledgehammer, only shorter.
Another flash led me to believe that the beasts were no more. I don't know why, but it did. Then an explosion rocked me.
BOOM!
And I sat up in my little corner of the shed we cleaned up. It was all a dream. But what was it? Oh well, I would have to put it off 'till morning, I couldn't discuss it with anyone at the time. I curled up and went back to sleep. There were no more dreams that night, realistic or not.
