Book55: The Controller
A/N: You might not get my description, but... Oh hack! I'll try and explain later... I don't think Menderash has any fans, but if he has, fans, you won't like this chapter.
Menderash fans: What do you mean?
Me: find out yourself!

Chapter 2
We were in the blade ship. Suddenly, there were flying creatures all over the place!
"What are these things? Gigantic carnivorous birds with extra legs?" Trust Marco to joke at this time.
The creatures were about the height of an average human, and had a bird like face, minus the beak. Instead, they had sharp fangs- sometimes two, sometimes four- sticking out of their mouths. Their white feathered bodies had two arms in which the fingers seemed to be joined together, ending in sharp points.
They had a pair of light purple wings and their legs were almost the same as any of earth's birds, just much bigger. Sticking out from their side was a pair of extra "legs". Those legs were sort of like a spider's, just without any hair.
"I see you've finally met my Kelbrids. They wake really marvelous host bodies, just as you would!" The one told us.
So these were Kelbrids, I thought as they led us away. This makes my plan a whole lot harder to carry out, with these flying creatures.
"Ulandir!" one of the Kelbrids said to us.
"They don't understand Brid, you fool!" The One screamed.
After saying "Sullivan," to The One, the Kelbrid turned to us and said "Gweapons!"
The way it pronounced weapons was funny, either that or I had heard wrongly.
Menderash looked at Jake. He nodded and gave our shredders and dracon beams to the Kelbrid.
"Efflit, for bringing them to me, you shall become sub visser forty- three. As for the animorphs, they shall serve as hosts. Feed the nothlit Menderash to the taxxons. He is useless to me. Now bring them away!" The One said.
"No! Battle morphs now! Santorelli, Jeanne, guard Mender-" Jake's speech was cut off as his mouth extended into a tiger's one.
"TSEEER!" I screamed as I raked at a kelbrid's eyes, before it flew up and stabbed me with its hands. I fell to the ground in a bloody heap.
(Tobias! Are you alright?) Jake asked as he came bounding over to me.
(Y...yes, I think. Look up!) I cried.
Above Jake a kelbrid was swooping down at him. Jake grabbed me in his mouth and dashed off just in time as the kelbrid slammed against the hard ground.
(Thanks, Jake,) I told him.
(Morph hork-bajir, quick. I'll protect you,) Jake replied, driving off the Kelbrids.
I could see the Kelbrids targeting Jake as I morphed. Marco, noticing the same thing, rushed over to help.
Marco started thought-speaking jokingly. (You know, this is really insane. I could be back on earth havi-)
(Will you please shut up! I didn't force you to come, you chose to follow me!) Jake roared as he fought off the Kelbrids.
Marco tried again. (Yeah, and you kno-)
I had just finished morphing when The One thundered, "Enough! I will not have creatures fighting in my ship! Get them!"
More Kelbrids poured in. It was like, five to one? There was hardly anymore space to fight.
"Take them away. I want to see the vissers later." The One snapped.
(Continue fighting!) Jake commanded, practically ripping apart a kelbrid.
I joined him, slashing with all- well, most- of my blades. Though we wounded and killed many, we were still outnumbered. It was a hopeless battle.
Then the taxxons arrived. The worm like creatures devoured the wounded and the dead, trying to fill their everlasting hunger.
As I wondered what the glowing green things held in the taxxons' upper claws were, I heard The One screaming, "Give those to the Kelbrids, you miserable fools! You can eat later!"
The taxxons pulled themselves away from the meat, passed the glowing green things to the Kelbrids, and went back to eating. At that moment, we didn't pay much attention to them. And we would regret it.
Then, I noticed a kelbrid throwing the glowing green thing at Santorelli. He, in hyena morph, tripped over it and got wrapped up.
I was wondering why he did not fight back when Marco got wrapped up too.
(I can't mo-) Marco froze and no ore sound came from him.
(What are those things?) I asked Jake.
(I don't know! Try to avoid them,) he replied.
Okay. I – AAHHH!) I screamed.
The glowing green thing had wrapped me too. Now, I realized why the others did not fight back. They couldn't. The glowing things held us prisoners.
I saw the rest of our group getting wrapped up. I saw the taxxons rushing over to Menderash at The One's command. I saw him being eaten alive.
"Bring them away," The One said gleefully, rubbing Ax's many fingered hands together.
That was the last thing I saw before blacking out.
A/N: did you get my description of a kelbrid? If no, here it is. Imagine a bird the size of an average human. Instead of a beak, insert two or four fangs there. Now, their bodies are white, with two light purple wings. Still following? Imagine a human body instead of a bird's. The hands do not end in fingers, but in a hard and sharp point, sort of like a spear head. By the way, the legs are bird's legs. Now, at the stomach area. From the sides stick out another pair of legs. Imagine the legs are a spider's, without any hair. I guess that's about it. Chapter three is about twice as long as chapter two. Unfortunately for the readers, I hate typing. So it might be a few more days before it comes out. Notice I said might. Now's my school hols, so I can use the com every day. On normal days, I can only go on weekends. And I've to go back to school next week...
