You may have noticed that I changed northwest to northeast. I realised that I was sending the Animorphs in the wrong direction. Sorry. Anyhow, let's continue

TOBIAS
Jake came back into the cargo, after speaking with Ax. I'm guessing they were talking about the second piece of the Lasterol Stone. Wherever that is
"Okay, guys, Ax thinks he knows where the second piece is"
"Where?" asked Leah
She was quick with questions. I had to admire her for that
"Well, he doesn't know where…"
"Oh very helpful"
Marco, of course
"…but he has an idea of where we can find it"
"Where?"
Leah, again. Like I said, quick with questions
"Well, we're over the place where we found the first. Then Ax is gonna fly us northeast from there," explained Jake, "where is the first piece anyway?"
"I placed in my pack," said Rachel
She took out the glowing piece. It was slightly glowing brighter, but only slightly. Like one percent brighter
(How long before we land in search of the second?)
"I'm not sure. Maybe about a day. Who knows how fast these fighters can go?"
(Usually faster than your fighter jets) answered Ax
"Well, that's fast. I don't even know what's the fastest jet in the world," said Marco
"SR-71 Blackbird," answered Jake
"How did you know?"
Jake look alarmed. Well, it was only mock alarm
"Marco, how could you? I read"
"Okay, so Ax is flying us towards the second piece," said Rachel, "we need to know where that is exactly"
(Ax isn't sure. None of us are. But he knows how to get to the location) I said
"All we can do, is keep an eye on the first piece," said Jake
"The pink piece," muttered Marco
"Do you have something against pink?" asked Rachel
"Honestly, Rachel, pink is one of my favourite colours"
"Yeah, I'm sure"
I flew over to the window. We were over the ocean right now. I could dolphins frolicking in the calm sea, happily playing. I don't mind morphing a dolphin. So full of fun. But I would rather be a hawk. Such freedom, to be so high in the sky. It would be wonderful
(Hey Jake, you wouldn't mind if I went flying outside?)
"Tobias, you don't have to ask. Be my guest"
Rachel opened the cargo door and I flew outside. Not much hot air rising up, but I wasn't worried. It felt good to fly once again. I needed it, after being cramped in the cargo and after my talons were shot off. That was painful. A normal hawk would fall off the edge and plummet to death. However, as soon as everyone heard me cry out, someone opened the door and I was able to float in, before morphing and demorphing
I felt free. Unfortunately, the Bug fighter was pulling away. Oh well, I had my flight. I flew down and scratched the door with my talon. The door opened and I flew in
"How was it?" asked Rachel
I began to morph
(It felt great to fly)
I finished morphing to human and went to sit down. Leah and Adam came bounding over and jumped on me
"Hey you two"
They both smiled. I smiled. I loved being around my children. It's wonderful to see them play, learn and grow up. Although, at the back of my mind, I felt some guilt gnawing at me. Because I had suggested to bring the children along and placing them in trouble. See, I didn't know that we would run into Visser Three, so I assumed it would be fine, just find the pieces, put them together and howzat, bye bye Yeerks
(Guys, we're coming up on some land) called Ax
Jake, Marco and I went into the cockpit. Looking out of the window, I could see savannah and wild animals, such as lion or zebra
"Get the first piece," ordered Jake
I went back into the cargo and retrieved the piece. It was glowing brighter. I took it into the cockpit and handed it to Jake. He looked at it for a while
"Ax, land us here"
(Yes Prince Jake)
We landed and got out. Tall grass and termite mounds filled the landscape. I had no idea where we could find the second piece, but I took off in search for a strange area. The others began to take their packs and begin their trek. Unless I had seen something to stop them
(Lion! Not far from you guys)
(Where about is the lion?) asked Ax
Turning back, I saw Jake begin to worry. Didn't blame him. Last time he fought a lion in tiger morph was against David. Unfortunately, David nearly killed him, when they went flying out a building
I had to distract the lion. If it was going at the speed it was now, the others wouldn't able to morph in time. And the children were out of the fighter. I pulled back my wings and dived. As I got close, I spread my wings, as my talons went down into the lioness' back
"ROWR!"
I flew up and circled above, before diving for another shot, this time, raking the lioness' face. She took the hint and ran off. I flew back to the others and landed on Rachel's shoulder
"Ax, do you think the second piece is here?" asked Jake
(I do not think so, Prince Jake. The first piece wasn't glowing that brightly)
"Okay guys, let's get back on board. False alarm"
We all piled back on board, as Ax took the fighter back into the sky and continued heading northeast, in search of the second piece
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
False alarm. The Animorphs thought the second piece was in Africa. But we shall soon find out where it is. They just have to continue northeast and they should find it
