We're leaving Cassie, Rachel and Ax under water and see what the guys are up to

TOBIAS
I had a problem. I had no idea how to fly a Bug fighter. I just grabbed the controls and hoped for the best. I pushed the control sticks forward. And we went flying forward
(Whoa)
"What was that?"
(That was me. Sorry)
Now I had an idea on how to fly this fighter. I pulled the sticks towards me and we went up
(Alright, now I'm getting the hang of this)
"Well, we hope you have. The Blade Ship just fired at us"
(What)
I steered the fighter, narrowly avoiding getting shot down
(This could be fun)
"This could be fun? Tobias, are you insane?"
We were flying above the sea, shooting at a massive ship, while trying to avoid get shot ourselves and keeping an eye out for Rachel, Cassie and Ax, in case they appeared
"Dad, what's happening?"
(Adam, get back in the cargo and stay with your sister and Sam)
"But-"
(No buts. Now do as I say)
I looked with my stalk eyes and saw that Adam was gone. I faced the front and flew up. I was trying not to fly far from the sea, but I was trying not to get hit
"Hey, I got him again"
(Nice shot Jake)
I turned back to the dive area and headed towards the water. Just at the last minute, I pulled up, as the Blade Ship nicked the sea. I heard thuds and groans
(Sorry)
"That hurt"
(I said I was sorry)
"Ow"
"You know how hard this is?"
(Do I really care?)
"Probably not. I was trying to liven this up"
(Well, you failed there, I'm sorry to say)
I banked a hard left and flew up, before facing the Blade Ship. I quickly search for the triggers and found it. Well, I pressed them and the Dracon beams fired, so I found them
TSEEW! TSEEW!
(Take that)
I dived at the Blade Ship, shooting as I went, dodging all the beams being fired
"Tobias, are we flying towards the Blade Ship?"
(Yep)
"ARE YOU MAD?"
(Maybe. I've been hanging around you too much)
"Thanks for your credit"
I fired, before pulling out of the way of the Dracon beams
(We…found…it)
"Who's found what?" asked Jake
(We're…coming)
I turned back towards the dive area, before hovering and opening the cargo hatch. I lowered the fighter very close to the surface. Looking out the hatch, I saw the Blade Ship flying right at us
"Tobias, you made us a sitting-"
SPLASH!
A huge whale breached the surface, slamming into the Blade Ship. It flew off course and struck the water, before flying past us and beginning to sink
"-duck"
(Nice one Cassie)
(Thanks, we got the fifth piece)
Ax got on board in his Andalite form. Several tentacles rose out of the water and handed him a white, glowing stone. Rachel demorphed from squid and got aboard, as a half-morphed Cassie reached us. Once she demorphed, she got on board. Ax went into the cockpit and lifted us up. Jake came out and took the last piece, before placing it in the centre of the Stone. They combined and glowed a bright white
"Wow," said Leah
"The Lasterol Stone has been complete," said Jake, "Ax, take us home"
(Yes Prince Jake)
We flew off towards home, holding one of the most powerful weapons in our hands

There it is, the Stone is now complete, the Animorphs are returning home, where they can now turn this war into their favour
