Chapter 15

"So this is Earth?" I looked around, unimpressed. We had landed in the North-Western's contintent's forest. The trees were similar to Trium's only they weren't as big. The grass and the sky were the same colors.

"I guess what they say about these planets being one with Everstin at one point was true," Zane pointed out. "I mean, these animals look like our people!"

"Less evolved," Sabra pointed out. "We're more similar in stature to the humans."

"I am not a monkey," I gruffed. I looked out myself. Most Everstins stay in a form that's in between "Animal" and "Humanized" state. Midtransformation it's called. It's has taken to be out "true form". The truth is that We.....freaks....don't have a true form to begin with. We're just there. Able to change to what ever we feel suited at any time we want. However, Midtransformation seemed to generate the most power, sorta like a super form.

I didn't like this form. Most of my main features were still there, but no tail. I liked my thick tail. I was tailess and way to peach. I frowned.

"Hey, it's not so bad," Copper told me reading my mind. "I mean, it's only we we go out in public. That's why we have this underground base going on. So we can have some privatcy. I know how you feel. I feel naked with out my fur and tail too. And what's with this nose and these ears?"

"I hate being without my wings," Silverbolt pointed out. "I feel better in the air."

"Don't go breaking any rules, guys," I spoke up. "We don't want to risk getting on Cray's bad side."

"We're not already?" Zane questioned. "I get the impression that he hates us."

"Oh, he does," I replied. "But believe me, he can get worse."

They didn't ask me anything else about it. My punishment was my business. That was a rule we made on our own. If we wanted to share then we could, but that was a big if.

"So are we supposed to scout around or something like that?" Zane questioned. "I mean we do need to get the info on the Visser. Catch a few humans and see what's up?"

"I have a better idea," I said. "There Andalites here right? Well, they must no something if they're fight the Yeerks. So we just get our hands on them and ask them what's up. Remember we hold grudges against them, but they have nothing on us."

"That would be easier than draining it from monkeys," Copper agreed. I mean, this is the area where the Andalites are. I mean how hard can it be to find someone who's blue."

"Not as easy as you think," Sabra pointed out. "Remember Andalites can morph into any creatures DNA that they can touch. They could be a fly on the wall for all we know."

"Then if can't get to them, we make them come to us," I said.

"And how do we do that?"

"Cause some kinda ruckus," I replied. "Only something an Andalite would respond to, and not a Yeerk, and if a human responds, kill them. We're not here to save the planet we're here to kill Visser Three, remember?"

"I thought you're the one that said not to break any rules," Jessi replied, narrowing her eyes at me.

"What Cray doesn't know, won't hurt him."

"So you think you can play the role of the old Visser?" Rat Trap asked.

"I know him all too well," I replied. "I can make an exact copy of him from memory. What about you, Copper? You think you can play my helpless Andalite child victum?"

"I watched you kill that kid, remember?"

I chuckled, "Okay then no sweat, here it goes." We were in an old contruction site. It most likely was abandoned. Unlike Andalites, we didn't need DNA to take another form. We just simply needed our ki. I closed my eyes and let my ki fill my body. When I opened them again I hade four eyes. I looked at my hands, they were very weak, but I could feel the strength in my legs and tail. Ah, yes, I had a tail. I swayed it a little.

This is cool!

Yo, BG, you're supposed to be Visser Three, remember, try not and be so happy, Copper replied.

Oh, right. I deepened my thought-spoke voice. How's this?

Perfect, he replied. You sound evil.

I grinned with my Andalite eyes. Okay places everyone, we need this done.

We had Sabra and Jessi pose as human-Controllers and Silvy and Zane were at the roof tops, keeping watch. Rat Trap was in control of the camera. I grabbed Copper in his Andalite child form and held him roughly against my Andalite chest. I put my tail towards his throat. Too bad you're an Andalite right now, he told me privately.

Remind me to kick you kinky arse when this is finished, I snapped out him.

"Camera's rolling!" Rat Trap announced.

Andalite, scum! I roared. Apparently, you are not too careful with your children. I tightened my grip. Be here with in one Earth hour or I will have this child killed! Or worse! You know where I speak of!

Rat Trap cut the camera off. "Great job kids! Rip, you really should be an actor ya know."

Thanks, I replied.

You think it'll get them here? Copper asked. And are you sure no one else saw it?

"The transmission was to only morph capable beings on the planet with in a 30 miles radius."

Yea, good plan, Copper commented. And what if Visser Three happened to be in that radius.

"Then we'll get a two for one special." He suddenly looked towards his ear. Obvious that someone had called him. "Okay, heads, up, Zane said we have a bunch of sea gulls and a hawk landing at the other end. Most likely our boys, or girls. So I need to put this puppy up." He put the camera into a capsule. "And get into my place. You two need to do the same.

Then all of a sudden two Andalites ran from the buildings and in front of us. They looked like two males.

Release the child now!

I held Copper closer. How long was I supposed to play this act? Oh, right until all the Andalites showed their blue mugs.

Reveal the rest of you, filth, I snapped. I want to know where you all are. There was a motion in his eyes. I looked at RatTrap with one stalk eye and he nodded. Zane must've caught all of them.

They came from all sides, just as I expected. A tiger, a wolf, a gorilla, a bear, a hawk, and a hyena. They were all accounted for. They gave me several growls and snarls and woofs.

You are surround and out number Yeerks, the other snapped. I knew him. RELEASE THE CHILD!

All of sudden, before I could answer, Silverbolt and Zane jumped down. "May day, Bash Girl, our plan back fired. We got company."

Nani?! I let go of Copper and we both stood tense. There were Hork-Bajir all of a sudden coming out from every corner and there he was. Oh, I knew that face.

I don't know what kind of filth you think you are, trying to imitate me, badly I might add, he snarled. But you will pay for. I have to commend you though, you did however bring the Andalite bandits to me all together and in one piece.

You tricked us?! the young Andalite demanded.

Get used to it, I said. And get out my way.

Kill them all! the Visser yelled.

The battle started. Copper immedently transformed back. I wanted to wait until I got to that ugly mug before I killed him. I barreled through Hork-Bajir after Hork-Bajir to get to him. I was almost too late. The bear was just about to get its best on him. No, he was mind.

I leaped, my Everstin boots kicked it into the wall.

You crap! she yelled. I almost had him!

"Sorry, hun, he's mine." I turned to the Visser, finally showing my face. Everything then stopped. He stood there, staring into my eyes. I felt his chill.

H-how can it be...you're supposed to be dead.

"You're not the only one that keeps coming back, slug," I growled. "You may have brains, but you don't learn to from your mistakes. I do. You will die."

Then kill me now. He narrowed his eyes at me. He saw the look in my face, the ideas. But that wouldn't be too fun for it now would it? He laughed. You would make an exellent Vissor.

"Don't flatter me," I snarled. "I have every reason to kill you now, my reasons not to are my own. Leave, I'll take care of the Andalites for you. So it can be just you and me. One on one duel to the death. How does that sound?"

I wouldn't miss it for the world, he grinned. Have a nice visit here on Earth. Fall back, unless you want miss Raptor to take all of your heads off.

They all left. Then it tackled me. You idiot! The bear yelled at me. I was about to kill him, and you knocked me off so that you can let him get away. I should kill you for it.

I grinned. "I'd like to see you try."

She lifted her paw, I took the moment to kick her off. I stood strait up. "Don't mess with me."

The two Andalites out of morph stood tense.

The tiger walked up to them. They were speaking privately in thought speak.

"Hey, guys, let's get these Andalites to the base," I said. "I'd like to have a chat with them."

We're not going any where with you! the bear yelled.

I glared at her. "Oh?" I snatched the wolf. "You see yes you will, because if you don't I will kill this one."

Cassie! the tiger yelled edging towards me.

"Not to close now," I said. "Just come with us, and it will be okay. As long as you listen, you'll stay alive."

They all stood there lined up against the wall. "Your two hours must be running up," I said. "Demorph, you're not any good to us trapped."

Nothing moved.

I laughed. "Oh I get it, oh, this is funny."

"What is it?" Zane asked.

"They're not all Andalites," I laughed. "I heard some of their thoughts."

"Girl, I think you're like becoming a physic or something," Jessi pointed out.

"No," I replied. "They're just thinking way to load."

It looks like they had no choice. They all started melting back into their forms. They were teen agers. How nice, kids. I could feel for them.

The blond girl narrowed her eyes at us. "Just who the hell do you think you are!?" she yelled. "You have no right, dragging us here and...."

"Hey, doesn't she remind you of someone?" RatTrap joked.

"Very much," I chuckles. "Settle, down chicha, we're not here to kid nap you and all that such. We just have our own methods of making Andalites, and monkeys to listen."

"So you are you people?" the leader asked. Jake. "You look like humans to us, or even Mendalites."

Prince Jake, don't let your eyes be fooled, one Andalite snorted. Aximili. They are of neither. They are of the most powerful empire in the universe. Even the Yeerks don't dare try for them anymore. They are their worst enemy to them. They are Evestins.

"You're a smart one," I said with a wink. "He's right the Yeerks don't come after us. Thank to me."

Aximili froze. Y-you're Rip Raptor?! he demanded. The Everstin secret weapon. The strongest know mortal on ever to walk. You, you are her?

"Gee, I mean, all I did was blow up a few Yeerk infested planet by myself, I didn't think I was known like that, but yea, that's me.

Murderest Beast! the second Andalite roared.

"Reubren!" he girl known as Melissa scowled him.

"Take heart, brother Andalite," Silverbolt said. "M'Lady wasn't in her best time at the time of the accident. She was still in a healing process from her last Visser Three encounter."

"So this isn't the first time you let him live?!" Rachel demanded.

"Silverbolt I believe I can speak for myself, buy thanks anyway, pal," I said. "And young human the term 'let' doesn't apply in that manner."

"In other word he kicked your ass before," Marco replied. "Oh, that's nice. So, now why are you hear?"

"About 8 of your months ago I was assigned my first mission by the government," I replied. "To assinate Visser Three."

"Looks like you didn't succeed."

"Keep in mind, monkey, I am a child," I snorted. "I lived to learn from that. I know my limits now."

"So, are you saying you're here to help us defeat the Yeerks here?" Cassie asked. "To drive them from Earth."

Aximili snorted. Don't be fooled, he said. Everstins are only out for their own purpose. They don't won't to help us, they're here to kill the Visser than leave. They'll even attempt to force us to help them.

"Personally, I don't believe Andalites have room to talk do they," I snorted. "You are right, I'm here to kill the Visser, no more than a mission but my own revenge. And you're also right about the other, you're going to help us."

"What if we don't want to," Jake said, crossing his arms.

"I think humans and mostly Andalite owe that much," I snarled. "After all if it wasn't for the fact of stealing our blood you wouldn't have that wonderful morphing power now would you?"

The humans looked at Aximili. Ax, the trapped one, Tobias asked. Is that true?

Yes, he replied.

It makes no different if it is or not! Reubren said. She is just has bad as the Visser. Die!

The rage for him was too much, and he lunged out at me. His tail swiping. I dodged it several times. The smirk on my face angered him even more. The final swung I grabbed his tail and slammed him to the ground. My raptor foot holding his face down.

"Whoa, what the hell is she?!" Marco demanded.

"A word of advice, Andalite," I said, in a horse whisper. "Do not mess with me. I am not in a greatest of moods today or any days. Mess with me again, and you will end up more than raw meat like your cousin was. I'll make sure there is not a scrap left of your worthless Andalite flesh. That isn't a threat, that's a promise." I lifted my foot and kicked him away so he may staggered up.

"He's right though, you really are not much better than the Visser," Jake said.

I growled at him. "How dare you compare me to him, monkey. The Visser kills and infest people for his own enjoyment. My people were victums of that when he destroyed my planet."

"Then why do you kill, Miss Raptor girl?" You seem to be standing with a smirk on your face every time you mention the death of someone you killed. You act as if you're proud."

"Don't mess with....!"

"Hey, BG, cool it," Copper said. He looked at the humans. "Rip Raptor was brained washed ever sense she was 12 years old. She isn't allowed to feel emotions when she is forced to kill someone. Keep in mind, she's gone through more crap than you can imagine. She has the scars to prove it. Both physical and emotional. If you don't mind, I believe we can start conducting our business later. Let's let every one cool down first. Would you mind meeting here at sunrise?"

"Fine," Jake said. "We'll be here."

"Cool, Silvy will show you the way out." He turned to me. "Sorry, I didn't mean to state your business. I just didn't want anyone getting hurt."

"And that I thank you for," I replied with a small smile. "What would I do with out you?"
