Chapter Five
Disclaimer: Forget it.
Author's Note: Thanks a lot to all my reviewers! I have seven reviews, more than I got for my first fic! Pouts Suddenly
To Korean Pearl: Thanks for reviewing so much! It was my dream to be reviewed by Korean Pearl, Mersang and Wraithlord42. And of course Sinister Shadow. Coolest Fanfic writers!
The trip to Rakkam Garoo was far from fun. Every day, I had to practice ten times with my three weapons of choice. You are already familiar with the MSD-100. One of the other two weapons is a standard-issue SD Shredder. It can fire in front as well as back. A camera connected to a projector projects images to your eye of what is going on behind you. No more turning back of the arms or aiming with stalk eyes.
The other was a Multiple-Offensive Shredder, or MOS-2. It could fire four shredder beams at once. But due to the immense power drain, it is not a sniper weapon; it can only be used for closer spur-of-the-moment gunfights.
My trainer didn't exactly lighten the mood, either. He made me train rigorously.
Worse, I had to go through several tail-fighting sessions. I was highly fatigued.
Finally, the long-awaited day came when I boarded the fighter and left the Elfangor, ready to take my first Yeerk victim.
Rakkam Garoo was not a welcoming place. It was a place full of swamps and scattered trees. I had received several vaccinations so that I would not fall sick.
I ran over the stats in my head when I was in the fighter. The Rakkam Garoo wars were between two rival species called the Mleb and Holk. These two were quite powerful species. The Yeerks had stepped in, seemingly allies of the Mleb, but what they wanted in reality was to make hosts of the Mleb. The Holk cannot be infested.
The Yeerks have turned the Mleb against us, so we cannot approach them. But we have Holk allies. And that's where my mission came in.
A Yeerk had successfully taken an Mleb host and been promoted to Visser 46. He had been put in charge of an important errand: He would lead a borrowed Mleb Ship full of Hork-Bajir-Controllers. He would descend, pretending to be reinforcements. The typical Mleb way to greet reinforcements is to rush right over to them. While this was happening, the Hork-Bajir would jump out, stun the Mleb and drag them back to be infested.
My job was to finish the Visser before the borrowed ship headed for the Mleb camp. While chaos reigned, fighters from the Elfangor would descend and Holk allies would attack from the ground, finishing the entire camp.
But everything depended on my Shredder beam hitting that head.
Author's Note: How'd you like it?
To Mersang: No, Ettex did not tell Aximili about assassins, but he told Elfangor. Ettex and Elfangor's relationship will be later highlighted. Oh, and Mersang? Go back to chapter one. There, I have clearly illustrated the fact that Andalites did not know about assassins, though they had been around for some time.
