Chapter 8 - Ty
I looked desperately out of a window. Wait a minute... there was a kid...! But that was my last thought before the guard with Gyp and Reed forced my head into the stinky, thick, gray goo. Just before the Yeerk entered my mind I forced myself to forget about the kid who saw me. It's not an easy thing to do, believe me.
And then I blinked. I blinked again before I realized that I wasn't controlling my blinking anymore.
"I'm in full control," I said. I felt another presence in my mind form the thoughts, speak the words. It wasn't me.
I stayed calm, just like they had taught me at school. If you panicked, you would simply waste your energy.
::Nothing can help you,:: the Yeerk said.
::Go to hell!:: I retorted, struggling to stay calm. But it was hard, seeing as how no part of my body was under my control. I felt the Yeerk probing my memory. It was like an icy finger was being rubbed across my brain.
But then I found that I could also probe the Yeerk's mind. I saw at once what he was searching for. A moment later he found it.
"My host's parents are Controllers." I said.
"Excellent." The guard said.
Suddenly I couldn't control myself. I struggled to raise my leg, to do something that would prove I still had some command. All that happened before the Yeerk's mind overcame mine with a surprising strength is I twitched my body's finger, the slightest bit.
::Resistance is so futile...:: The Yeerk sneered, but I ignored it. I was busy reading his memory. His last hose strangled himself while the Yeerk was eating Kandrona. He had never infested anything other than a human. His name was Reton 794.
"I am at your command." I said.
"Go and recruit more Controllers," the guard said. I could tell Reton didn't like the guard, but I wasn't sure why. "Hurry up, go away. Another kid could come into here at any second.
::He's sub-visser 4, not that it matters,:: Reton said, reading my mind.
I had been taught that Yeerks did not usually get along with each other to well, and always were competing for power. That meant that not only humans and Andalites were conspiring against the Yeerk vissers.
"Er... I'm a bit hungry..." Reed said.
The guard scowled at him, but pointed to a door I hadn't noticed before. It was in the back of the room. It led to a dimly lit room with a pool -- a Kandrona pool -- in it. The pool was about the size of an average bathtub.
Gyp and I grabbed Reed and held him tightly by the arms as he bent over the pool.
The Yeerk plopped into the pool and Reed started struggling, trying to escape our grip. We were too strong, Reed was a bit weak and thin-boned.
Before I knew what I was doing, I started struggling to take over my brain again. Reton 794 had a hard time keeping me and Reed under control at the same time, and I knew it. I knew it and I used it to my advantage.
Reton glanced at Gyp, and I realized she was also fighting her Yeerk. My grip on Reed's arm started to loosed. Suddenly Reed elbowed me in the stomach, and fought off Gyp's grip. Reton took full command of me again, but Gyp didn't seem to be calming down.
I glanced between Gyp and Reed, the Yeerk in my head trying to decide which one to take care of. Reton decided Reed, figuring Gyp's Yeerk would take over soon enough.
I grabbed Reed by the hand and yanked him with surprising strength over to the pool. He tripped on his own feet and his head landed in the water. I watched the Yeerk in the pool swim quickly back into Reed's head.
A couple seconds later everything was smooth -- at least for the Yeerks. All the Controllers were... well, being controlled.
Then I heard a loud bang in the other room, and a voice yelled: "everybody freeze, lie your weapons on the ground and stick your hands in the air!"
Three Andalite guards practically tore the door open to our room, pointing menacing looking weapons at us. Light flooded the room, and Reton squinted my eyes, sticking my arms straight up.
Gyp and Reed did the same.
Then I saw who had alerted the Andalite police of our presense.
It was the kid I saw earlier.
**Dum dum dum... haha, I am the ultimate cliff hanger dude! Anyway, next chapter we learn more about the Andalite that the Ellimist sends to Earth.....**
