Chapter 14(Sam)
I was shooting left, right and centre. The entire army was on me and I was winning. Hovering above the crowd, dodging lightning bolts, or so it seemed.
It was exhilarating.
The entire time I had a smile on my face, concentrating on killing while not being killed myself. I was able to almost feel where the beams of red were coming from, so I was able to avoid them, until that dumbass Gordon decided to 'wish me luck'.
This made me notice that they were all being loaded into the blade ship, in single file at that. They were all being loaded and taken without a fight! Sure, they had no weapons, but they could at least try.
Unfortunately, this took my concentration off of me and the battle I was in long enough to get hit. A searing pain was spread throughout the entire left side of my upper chest and arm. This made me drop the weapon in that hand and it fell to the ground.
The pain was so intense that I lost my concentration and was immediately let free from my grip. I fell like a stone to the ground below, where fifty hork bajir soldiers were waiting for me, eyes waiting and eager.
When I fell, the Hork bajir all stayed out of a ten foot radius around me, and I saw Visser three form out of the crowd. {Ah, yes. The Telekinetic one. Sam, was it? You will be of good use to me.} he said. {Stand up!}
Slowly, painfully, I got to my feet. Deep down inside, I knew he wouldn't kill me. I wold be a useful host. I stared him in the eyes. Andalites aren't that big, and even a big andalite like Visser three was only eye level with me.
I held the burned shoulder, but let it go because it hurt too much. "What's the matter, don't you want to take me?" I coaxed. "Big bad Visser doesn't want to kill?"
{Oh, I would be glad to kill you, but quite frankly, you are too good of a host to waste. You see, your andalite friends are likely to be killed, but you, you are a true prize.} he said, his voice oozing with contempt as he said andalites.
I concentrated on a gun being holstered by a nearby hork bajir and stared back into the eyes of Visser three. "Well, I guess you are definitely not going to infest me, because I will not go down without a fight."
The world glowed red as the gun flew from the holster and hovered, pressed against the Visser's head. I smiled. I could easily kill him right now, but I didn't, not yet.
It was a stare down. "Well, I hope you do know that your life is about to end." I informed him. "Now, I hope you have a replacement."
{you realize that if you shoot, any one of these hork bajir could shoot you out of the air, and your little stand would be useless. You would be dead, no longer able to serve the andalites.} he said with disgust, and what seemed to be nervousness. He was scared, and although he tried to not show it, he was bleeding fear.
And I loved it.
"Maybe so, but me, you, and how many hork bajir lost in the crossfire? All that for a hope to kill me. Now, we haven't known each other long, but I know you don't want that, and as much as I want to see you dead, I don't either." I said, confusing him. "So, the most beneficial solution to this is to both go our own ways. I live, you live, and we both get each other another time to kill each other. What do you say?"
I extended my hand, still keeping the weapon hovering at his head. But I could almost see the wheels in his head turning. He was saying something to one of the hork bajir.
Now, why I didn't think of it is still a mystery, but as soon as I was about to leave, I saw a light to the left of me and my entire body went numb. One of the bastards had shot me on stun. I held onto consciousness for about two seconds before slipping into a comatose state.
{You have given me reason to have fun with you before I allow one of my favorites to take you.} The Visser gloated.
For what seemed like eternity, I slipped in and out of consciousness. Seeing a black wall above me, floating figures, and aliens. Many aliens.
When I finally did come to, I was being dragged down a corridor made of metal by two hork bajir. I would hardly say dragged was a good word though, my feet weren't touching the floor.
As I went down the hall, I noticed that there were many big doors made of steel, they looked like they were made for sliding. I was brought into one.
I was still to much asleep to really do anything about it, I was barely taking note of what as going on around me.
Anyway, when I got into the room, I was thrown in front of a group of ten hork bajir, all with blue sachets strung across their shoulders. In front of them was a small human woman. Didn't seem right in this place.
"So, you are the mighty sam, or Visser three tells me. You don't look very mighty to me right now." She said.
I was just now able to talk, so I did. "I am kind of incapacitated right now, you stupid bitch. Maybe if you tried to fight me one on one, then it would be a one sided fight." I clenched my fist, and noticed that it was completely burn free. That was always a plus.
"Well, I guess we will have time to evaluate your ability soon enough." She said.
"And who in the hell are you to judge me?" I asked.
She looked almost hurt. "You don't know me? That's too bad. I would almost like to take you myself, but I really can't. You see, this host and I have grown quite attached, but just be let know that you were considered as a host for Visser one."
"I'm honoured." I sneered.
She turned around and began walking out of the room. "Make sure you get a yeerk in his head. I want him at the onboard pool. His friends need some guidance." And with that she left, all ten of her guards following.
There was just one problem with her plan. The little talk we had gave me time to wake up and regain my concentration. Just as a door opened in the ground, one of the unmarked hork bajir grabbed the back of my head and tried to force it into the pool of grey, slimy yeerks.
I, of course, resisted, using all the might of my body and mind to push back. When one failed, the other joined in, trying to lift me from my foundation. It didn't work, instead, I looked at one of the holstered guns out of the holster and made it shoot at the hork bajir ir was attached to. He fell on the ground, stunned, because that was what I wanted.
I made the gun make it's way to my hand, where I left the other hork bajir in a standoff, for he had already pulled his gun out.
Without hesitation, I shot his hand, making him drop the weapon. He almost immediately jumped at me, but I made him stop in midair. I wasn't, however, able to keep him up for long. I shot him in the chest and turned around, leaving the little room.
What I faced was an endless hallway. People and metal all over the place. I went up to the nearest group of two hork bajir and asked where the onboard pool was. I needed to make sure the rest of them weren't taken yet, there still might be hope.
"Sorry, I am new on the ship, could you tell me how to get to the onboard pool." I asked. He stared at me for a minute before giving me direction. It was pretty much at the end of the hall.
I followed, and when I got there, I saw what I could only think of before. It was a big open area, with a pool in the middle and cages around the outside.
I saw a group of ten red, sachet hork bajir escorting a group of zoo animals. An elephant, a wolf, a gorilla, two tigers, a hork bajir, and an andalite. No bird, but oh well, all the better. That meant he left before the fight. I never did take the time to notice.
The hork bajir set them up along the wall, hopefully to get them to demorph. I had no clue how long I was out, so I don't know how much time was left.
So, instead of waiting to find out, I took careful aim at all the hork bajir guarding them, and opened fire.
