The The Neri: A reincarnation of Taylor?? Really? Does she sound like
Taylor? I am curious. She's just a bad guy I drew out of my head at random
because we needed a ringleader in this kind of situation.
After this chapter , if all plays out well , you are very likely to see
some chapters from Sabrina's POV.
DH: I'm glad I posted in time then. Here's another chapter^^
Chap - 14
The flash of light dimmed , but I was blind for a few seconds.
I heard the annoyed voice of one of the controllers. " They must have used an energy shield!"
I realized then that I was hidden in the circle of my friends. They'd protected me. Again.
" How -?"
"The energy comes from our bodies." Sabrina said in a low voice. " No time to explain now. I don't think they can see you behind all of us , so if you can morph that Panda , do it."
I began to concentrate , and fell to all fours. My eyes were changing first. And my ears.
" What are you hiding?" the female human controller demanded suspiciously. " You cannot protect the human forever! We will have her!"
This was not good. I did not need them to start asking about me when I looked like a whacked out Panda version of Inu Yasha. ( Note ^-^ Inu Yasha is half demon. Being a dog demon , he looks human but keeps his dog like ears and eyes. Great anime!)
Suddenly Sabrina flung her hand forward , open palm , and sent the same energy attack she'd used on my parents at the controllers. Lavender , Madison , Matt , and M.C. took the hint and followed lead.
About half of the controllers were flung to the ground. Weapons scattered. Enraged controllers cursed.
But my fur had already come , and my paws. All that was left was my teeth , and they came quickly enough. I was done.
I ignored the smell of bamboo wafting through the still open door at the top of the roof where we stood.
( Move aside guys.) I said in private though speak. ( I'm coming through.)
I had trained well. The animals instincts had not tried to overthrow mine like the cats. It was actually a gentle morph. I sensed no violence in this creatures being. It just wanted to sleep in the sun and eat bamboo.
The sight was different. Dimmer. But I could still see. I wasn't blind.
I charged off of the roof and landed solidly on all fours right in the center of the controllers.
A few panicked at the sight of a Panda suddenly appearing in front of them. Some that had been knocked down (most of them,)scuttled backwards , trying to get away from me.
It would really have funny. I was knocking people down left and right , but if they had stopped panicking long enough they'd have seen I wasn't much faster than them.
One of the controllers was either knocked unconscious , or just decided to stay down. I raked my claws down one of the human controllers back. He screamed and shot wildly at me and missed - which was really sad because I was right in front of him. All he had to do was aim!
But in a way I understood. From the past experiences of this recent week I had learned just what panic can do to people.
I get no pleasure in making people suffer. I am not like that. So I almost felt sorry for them - almost. Except I was so busy laughing at the fact they thought they could take us this easy.
Madison kicked the dracon beam out of one of the female controller's hand and punched her squarely across the face. I'm not going to say I didn't take some pleasure in the fact she wasn't so annoyingly cocky now - she was enraged.
Quicker than a flash , she had Madison by throat. " You ...filthy....punch me?!"
It was frightening. I was under the impression that they only showed that kind of hate to Andalites. Evidently , they were not fond of Mendelites either.
Sabrina , abandoned her opponent - after rendering him unconscious - and ran to Madison's aid.
I didn't have much left to worry about because M.C. and Matt were all over the others - Lavender going after the same ones more than once , until finally they dropped from exaustion and then carefully trodding right over them to her next opponent.
Unfortunately for Sabrina , the girl controller saw what was coming. She released Madison and threw her into Sabrina.
I saw Sabrina's eyes go wide before she and Madison hit the ground. I guess she hadn't anticipated it.
Madison gasped. She thanked Sabrina weakly for breaking her fall. Her red hair had fallen loose from her ponytail and into her face. Matt jumped to her side and pulled her up.
"Sabrina -?!" MC. began. " I'm fine." Sabrina gave a small smile. Then it was gone. She said to the controller , " You cannot win. You've only got to look around you! Half of your people are either unconscious or too badly hurt to move."
It was true. My claws had done damage , but there were human controllers bleeding in places I bet they never knew about because of Mendelite inflicted blows. I can't record for you all that happened. Simply because a battle in fast , and the Mendelites are faster.
I would have smiled. We won. My first battle and we won!
" However , we don't wish to kill you." Sabrina added. " There's no need. Nothing to gain."
M.C. looked at the fallen controllers , " She's right , you know. You should tend to your friends , now. So how about -"
The controller lunged for her weapon! I let a cry of surprise.
Lavender's foot came down on her hand before she had made it half way. In a blur of movement she was already there.
" Forget about me?" she asked coldly. " That was dirty , considering after the stunt you pulled we're going to let you walk away."
She turned to Sabrina. " It's not too late for you to let me-"
" No , Lavender , that won't be necessary." Sabrina said curtly. To the controller , " Leave. Now. Or I may change my mind."
The human controller was didn't move from her position on the ground. Her head was bent so we couldn't see her face through her hair. Then she began laugh. Low at first , then louder until her whole body shook. She tossed her hair away from her face and looked at us defiantly.
"Let you go." still a hint of a sinister laugh in the undertone.
" No , actually we WANT to pay Visser Three a visit. We had so much fun chatting with the Taxxons last time. Maybe he'll let us tour the Blade Ship again. Chasing us all the way down it of course in some lunatic morph from the fifth moon of a savage planet. If we ask nicely , he may even let us leave alive." Lavender said very sarcastically. " Are you stupid or something?"
The controller decided not to address Lavender. In fact , I don't think she was even hearing her. Instead she looked right at Sabrina and M.C , her expression gleefully manic. " Tend to my friends? Friends? Yeerks don't have friends , we have allies. We don't need sentimental attachments like that. Not kill me? Children and fools! Do you think this is all the fighting power we brought?!"
She yelled something in a weird language I'd never heard before. Hork- Bajir poured out of the darkness around us.
Matt cursed. " They must have been using the building to hide themselves!"
He looked furious with himself that he hadn't considered that possibility. Madison was furious for another reason.
" You truly are a Yeerk , to continue slaughtering after your fellows have been injured and you've been offered a safe exit!" she said absolutely disgusted. " If I had my sword I'd let Lavender chop your head off!"
Lavender hit the controller in the backto do have to of the neck. I don't know if she killed her or not. With Lavender it's hard to guess. But the controller crumpled. I have to be the
That was not the issue though. Hork-Bajir were closing in , many of which I noted were blue bands.
" What are we going to do? " Matt asked. " There's no way we'll get way from them unless we fly , and we can't leave Melissa."
The color had drained from Sabrina's face. It frightened me. If she was scared , then it was bad.
" Fight." she said in a strained voice. " Just fight. Everyone , do your best."
" Fight." Madison agreed. Then under her breath , " Or die honorable deaths."
That's what frightened me most about that moment. I never considered we would not come back alive tonight. It was now a great possibility.
Lavender tried to grin bravely , but it came off looking very grim. " Oh well , they are beginning to annoy me anyway. I don't mind beating them up."
(I'll show them what my morph can do , when I get mad.) I said to reassure everyone - including myself.
There was no more time to talk after that , because the Hork -Bajir charged.
I sliced one's throat before he reached me. My stomach turned. This was different. In the last battle we had injured , not killed. Killing again. Like I killed the Taxxons.
It was confusion. So many bodies. I know I took some down , but..I could hear the Mendelites fighting. Yelling. Aiding each other.
Screaming.
My friends were getting attacked all around me. and there was nothing I could do because I was getting attacked too.
I got slashed across the face at some point . I remember seeing Lavender jump in the air at one of the Hork-Bajir. She was bleeding. She'd been stabbed in the stomach.
I got slashed down the side by one of the Hork-Bajir. I howled in agony in my Panda voice , and he knocked me down. " Die! Galash!"
" I don't think so!" Madison appeared beside me and took care of him , by driving her opponents blade into his heart. Then she bashed his head into the dead Hork-Bajir and he was out.
" Okay , Melissa?" she shouted over the noise of the battle and Hork- Bajir curses. Her left eye was bleeding and swollen shut. But she was still going. I felt ashamed. I couldn't let a slash stop me.
I shakily told her I was fine.
I could only make out the top of M.C.'s red hair out of the corner of my eye. I didn't even want to think of Sabrina. She had so many on her the last time I looked.
Matt had been either knocked or forced onto his back. His attacker was pining him down , laughing maliciously.
A Hork-Bajir actually tried to grab me , but I jumped at him and slammed him into the concrete. I will spare you the details of what happened to his neck.
I ran to Matt. His leg suddenly shot up and kicked the Hork-Bajir where I think you really shouldn't kick a Hork-Bajir. The Hork- Bajir fell back, bellowing.
Matt staggered to his feet , but he would never be able to defend in time. His opponent was already rushing at him.
I took him out from behind. Just in time too.
" Thank you." he said shakily. His eyes were wide. " Thanks , I thought I was dead."
It was horrible. That's the only way to describe it. Every time I heard someone scream , I thought one of my friends were dead. And if I chanced to hear their voices again , no relief came because it was another scream.
Suddenly his Matt's eyes went wider. " Dracon Beam! Look out!"
Too late. I got hit full force and fell down. I couldn't move. I wanted to panic. I couldn't move!
Matt stepped in front of me and tried to take out the Hork-Bajir with the weapon , but the Hork-Bajir knocked him in the head with the blunt side of the dracon beam and into the wall. He collided hard. Then dropped.
(MATT!)I screamed. But he didn't move. And my legs were paralysed.
My assailant signaled to his buddies and they seized me and began to drag me.
I couldn't fight them. Couldn't turn my head. What had the done to me? (Help! Get way! Leave me alone!)
" Sabrina!" I heard M.C. yell. " A bug fighter has landed and Melissa's been stunned!"
Matt was unconscious. Lavenders wound finally seemed to be taking its toll. She was hunched over holding her stomach. Her eyes were tightly shut , like she was trying to stop tears. " It hurts. Hurts."
She was in too much pain to hear or notice anything. And M.C. and Sabrina were left to battle the rest of gaggle on their own.
I could see the trail of dirt my body had made from being dragged. We were getting too close to the ship...too close.
" Damn it! GET AWAY FROM ME!" energy flashed from Sabrina's body leaving most either hurt or dead as doornails. But M.C. still had problems.
Nonetheless she took off running after me. But the there was no way she'd make it. No way.
They were taking me. I would be a prisoner or worst. And there was nothing no one could do. I had been weak. How could I let myself be distracted?
( I'm sorry. Every one , I'm sorry.) I said in private thought speak.
And then the door of the ship sealed shut .
