A/N: One or two chapters to go. We're in the home stretch! I want to thank everyone who has been reviewing and for the positive feedback on some of my story ideas. I am already in the process of writing Animorphs NG. If you're curious about it, go to my bio page and you can read all about it. I'm surprised I came up with it. No word on Animorphs Reborn yet. So anyways, the last chapters are going to be really short. I'm sorry about that but there really isn't much more to write. Enjoy this chapter! Oh, and I'm sorry but I won't be replying to any reviews because there are just too many! Another thing, sorry about the thought-speech thing but the program is giving me a real hard time.
Disclaimer: Ugh! These things are such drags. It's pretty obvious that I don't own the Animorphs or else this would be a book and not some story on a website where you have to put a disclaimer up on every chapter! However, I do own Hope, Sarah, Bade, Josh, and Alexandria, which is practically not owning anything.
Visser Three was dumfounded at my confidence, because in one might leap; I was over her and home free. Well, almost, first I had to collect my team. Our time limit was the last thing on my mind because when you're in the middle of the battle, let's face it, you don't ask the enemy if they have a watch. I was pretty sure that no one was going to get stuck. If they did, then we'd all be dead.
Come on guys, I have plan!> I yelled to the others as pounced on a Hork-Bajir in my way.
And that would be?> Sarah asked as she punched a Hork-Bajir in the stomach. She had many gashes and her left arm was hanging limply at her side. She looked like she was going to collapse at any minute. As I wasn't about to let my best friend die, I sprinted over there and attacked a couple of Hork-Bajir, loosing one of my ears in the process.
It's called getting the hell out of this place,> I answered. I couldn't tell them my plan just yet, it was way too crazy. The next time Sarah asked me if I was insane I would have to tell her yes. Of course, I think we all kind of knew that from the beginning.
And how do you suppose we do that? Do you want us to run out of here with Hork-Bajir trailing behind us?> Sarah yelled as she knuckled her way through the thinning Hork-Bajir to help a cornered Alexandria. At least Alexandria wasn't too bad off; she was just bleeding at her shoulder and had many wounds all over her body. Considering what was happening, not bad at all.
No Sarah, she wants us to prance out of here,> to my surprise, Josh was the one that said that and not Sarah's rival Alexandria. Josh was by far the worst. His back leg was being dragged behind him as he lunged to bite a Hork-Bajir's ankle.
Look, I've got a plan. Just please trust me on this,> I pleaded desperately. A Hork-Bajir had just blinded my left eye, but I quickly got revenge on him.
Bade rushed over to Josh and picked him up in his trunk. Bade's whole ear was missing and he had many, many gashes all over his body. He looked as if any minute he would just drop. Still, I could picture a smile on his face as he said, We wouldn't had made you leader if we didn't.>
Okay, what do we do?> Alexandria asked as she finally escaped the circle of Hork-Bajir. She ran over to Josh and tackled one of the Hork-Bajir that was giving him trouble. During the process, she was given a nasty slash across the face.
Okay, we make our last stand in the entrance. Only a few Hork-Bajir will be able to follow us, especially after Bade and Sarah make sure that the exit collapses behind us.> I waited for the complaints and the objections. I hoped for them. Instead, everyone started running towards the exit. I waited a second before I trailed behind in shock.
Wait a second, you actually like this plan!>
It's the only thing we've got,> Alexandria said after she went through the exit. Bade had already started shrinking luckily. I leapt through the doorway.
SMASH! Sarah's fist went through the stone wall in pure adrenalin and the rocks started to fall. Several larger chunks fell on top of a few of the enemy's heads, and I was surprised that when the exit was blocked off, no one was there.
No one except us.
We…we did it.> Alexandria broke the silence…sort of. We all just stood there dumbfounded.
Should we demorph?> Josh asked.
No, there might be security cameras. It's only a little ways outside,> Sarah said. I didn't try to take charge; I just went with the crowd. Ten minutes later we ended up in a parking lot downtown. It was empty, thank god. We all demorphed and remorphed into Julia, Sam, John, Mel, and Mike respectively.
"So…my place, Friday. I'll bring chips and dip," the Sarah that was now Sam said in regular speech. We all nodded and left. I had some serious thinking to do.
A/N: Ha ha! I know this is really short, but I'm finally on a roll again and I'm starting to get sick of this story. So, I have no idea when the sequel will be. Probably sometime in January. I had originally planned a battle scene, but it wouldn't have worked.
