Chapter 7

The Visser narrowed all four eyes at me. A gesture you never see Andalites do. The again, he wasn't a real Andalite. He just took over the body of one. Wait......

If he took over the brain of the Andalite host was the host's conscience still alive? Of course it was. Yeerks didn't kill the infested. They wouldn't be able to control a dead person. So if I killed this body would the Yeerk die as well? Or just the host would be the one to die. If I killed this body I would kill the innocent life behind it. Kill those who are innocent? So what it's his own fault he was infested and he'd probably prefer to be dead than a slave anyway. I was doing him a favor.

You're making a big mistake, Everstin, he said. I gave you a chance to live and you refused my offer. Now, I will have to kill you.

I smirked. "I'm the one who decides who dies, Visser. No more idol talk."

In a flash I was on him. I caught him in the chest of his upper body.

SWISH!

His tail blade missed me by inches. I would have to watch out for that thing. It was fast. I grabbed the base of the tail and swung him around into the wall. This was too easy. I wasn't even exerting any of my powers.

Then something began to happen. His body began to shift and change. It was growing larger and the pale blue skin and fur were changing into horrid black scales. The feeble arms and hands became claws with awesome grip. The tail blade shifted to several spiked ends. He was morphing. He was morphing a monster that my young eyes had never seen before. I wasn't going to let fear break me though.

He swung his huge tail at me. I jumped and dodged it. The tail must have been the main weapon. My concentration was on it. A big mistake. He snatched me while I was in the air with his powerful hand. His grip kept me from moving any of my limbs.

Don't make assumptions about your opponent that you don't know about, he mocked me. I started to try my hardest to squirm away. That's when he began to squeeze.

"Aaahhhhhh!" I screamed in pain. My bones were been smashed together and my whole body felt as if I was going to be broken into two. I saw Jessi and Silverbolt attack the Visser with what strength they had. He swatted them away like flies. Jessi....Silvy.....

He squeezed again. I let out another cry in pain. He laughed at me. His laugh filled me head with fear. I was afraid... No! I was the stronger one! No damn slug was going to take me down so easily. With all my force in my body I began to push back his vice grip.

What?!

I started to dig within myself my hidden secrets. I had no choice but to use them. He would pay for the embarrassment he caused me. I looked up at him and gave him an evil smirk. I smelled his fear and confusion now. Just what I needed. I began to let me ki power up. It came from deep within. I started to scream. Not in pain, but in a surge of strength. A blast went form my body and forced the Visser's hands from to me seize to exist.

I hover there in the air as the Visser stared in awe at his bloody stumps. My black ki aura enveloped my body. He looked at me with his fearful eyes. I smirked evilly. "Serves you right." I held out my two hands to my sides. "Now you die." The flaming ki formed in my palms. "Tornado Flame!" I shot the blast that enveloped the monster, burning him to a crisp. So I thought.

"Nani?" There should've at least been some remnants.

"Rip, it was a decoy," I heard Rattrap say through my ear piece. "The real Visser is trying to make his escape through the abandon city. After him!"

"Shimatta," I cursed. Wait... "Rattrap, get Sabra here on the double, Silverbolt and Jessie need your help."

"Roger that, BG."

BG?

I took off out the building and to the near by, empty city. Where was he?! Stupid! I was stupid, I was looking for him the wrong way. There was no way I was going to find him with my eyes. I stopped in midair and concentrated. I was going to find hi ki power. There! I zipped for the ki.

What?! he stopped dead in his tracks. He had two Hork-Bajir with them.

I grinned evilly. Did he honestly think he would get away from me.

Kill her you fools! he demanded. The two Hork-Bajir lunged for me. I leaned over low as one swiped their arm blade for my head. I grabbed him by his tail and flung him into the other. That didn't stop them, but I didn't have time for this. I could already see the Visser run his cowardly arse away. I jumped at the next blow they tried into the air. I sent a ki blast that dicenigrated the two aliens. Then I ahead for the Visser again.

I decided I was going to play a game of cat and mouse with him first. What's the use of killing someone if you can't have fun doing it. Every corner he turned I was there with my evil grin. I followed him right on his tail every time he ran. Oh, this was very fun. I could smell his fear every time he saw me with all four of his eyes. He didn't even bother to fight back or use any of his stolen Andalite abilities. He knew he didn't stand a chance.

He turned into a broken down building. I followed him not thinking. It happened again! I stopped dead in mid air and fell to my feet. They were all around me, laughing poking. I covered my ears. "No!" I screamed. "Go away! Leave me alone!" I looked up. Thier faced were angry. Somehow the Visser had led me strait into one of Yaweh's temples. It was coincidence of course, but I was being foolish as well. Now, I was venerable to the Visser, and to the army of angels.

The Visser must of saw me suddenly fall into sheer agony. I could see him and hear him. However, it was like I was hearing a television set in another room even if his words were telepath tic. What's wrong, Everstin? he mocked. Suddenly not feeling so confident. He locked his eyes on me trying to figure me out. Little did he know I had no attention towards him. I just wanted out of that building. With my little strength I stood to my feet. I could feel him step back, but not out of fear. He saw that I was in pain. They were still laughing at me. I looked up at one. He drew his spear back and stabbed me in my shoulder.

"Ahh!" I screamed in pain. I held my bloody shoulder and took a few steps back. The Visser was obviously in shock.

It looks like you're doing a good job killing yourself, he sneered. But allow me to make it quicker for you I felt his tail blade hit my other shoulder. It caused me to fly out of the walls of the temple. I felt all my senses recover. I was feeling the pain in both of me shoulders. I had to get over them though. My vision was coming back and the Visser was going to have another shot. He took it! I grabbed his tail right before it hit my neck. What?! I threw him into a wall then got up to my feet fast. I was breathing heavily. I was hurting and I was tired. It was still enough to kill this pile of crap though.

He got to his feet. He was surprised at my quick recovery, but he knew I was getting tired. So, you're not invincible, he said. Close to it, but you do have a weakness that was revealed to me. Now, if only I can find it for myself.

I laughed. "In your dreams you filthy slug," I said. "There's nothing you can do that can kill me. Compared to you I am a god."

Perhaps, he replied. But gods don't get tired, children do.

I was having enough of his talk. I yelled in rage as I charged for him. My speed had decreased and he dodged me back into the building. I stopped dead in my tracks right on the border line of the holy ground. I clinched my fist in rage. No! This couldn't be happening!

Why aren't you coming for me? he questioned. I didn't answer him. I stood there glaring at him with my evil, cold eyes and teeth gritting. Then I could here the switch in his mind click and he let out an amused laughed. That's it isn't it?! he laughed. It's this building. For some reason you cannot come into a building like this.

Shimatta.

He laughed again. So that is your weakness. Hmmm, all I have to do is stay in here and wait until you leave and I'll be the safest Yeerk in the universe.

"You can't stay in there forever," I said. "You're going to need your precious Kandrona rays soon."

I can stay in here longer than you can stay out there, he replied. With bleeding like that, you'll pass out in a matter of hours.

I started to levitate into the air. "Then I'll just have to remove you from that little sanctuary of yours by making it crumble atop of you!" I formed to ki blasts in my hands. I was going to destroy the building with him in it. If he survived, I'd be right here waiting for him. This time there would not be a game of cat and mouse either. I shot the blast at the building. I could see the Visser cower in fear.

In seconds he'd be dead, but it happened. A huge sword hit the blast disingrating them. "Nani?!" What was that. I could feel the shadow of the wings tower before me. The Visser did not see. All he saw was my face in total shock. "Why are protecting him?!" I demanded.

"There is no protection for the Visser," the voice said. "It is the protection of everything from you, demon woman. I will never let thou harm a home of my Lord."

"Who the hell are you."

"I am Michael, demon woman," he said. "Remember my name and face, woman. For when thou comes to battle me in the final it will be the last thing thy sees." He vanished.

An angel....?

Demon woman?

What was going on.

"You are lucky today, Visser," I said. "But mark my word. You better not show your ugly mug where it can be seen by me again, slug. For when you do. I will kill you. The house of Yaweh cannot remain your sanctuary forever. For you too are evil." I flew off.

"Kami, Rip!" Jessie ran to me. "Girl, what happened?!"

"Did the Visser did that to you?" Zane asked.

"He got one lucky shot," I replied. "He was lucky all around." I walked past them

"Did you kill him?"

"I couldn't."

"Wait, sista, are you telling me he was stronger than you?" Rattrap questioned in awe.

"No!" I yelled. "I had the slug begging for my mercy and bathed in his own fear!"

"Then what happened?"

I looked away. "The bastard, ran into a temple..church..whatever, he caught me off guard at one point. I couldn't even destroy the building itself to get to him. I saw...I saw an angel."

"Are you serious?" Jessie asked. Her eyes lit up with joy. "An actual angel? Was it your guardian angel..."

"No," I cut her off. "It was Michael. He threatened to kill me if I ever laid foot or tried to destroy a house of Yaweh again. He called me a demon woman."

No body said a word. I don't blame them."

"So what are we going to tell Leo?" Zane asked.

"The Visser is no longer a concern to Everstins," I said. "He has no interest in enslaving our race anymore. I am his only target and he is my only target as well. I will kill him. Perhaps not today, or tomorrow or the next year even. But, I will kill him."
