Note: Hey, sorry for taking so long. I don't very much like the peacetime, but I have to finish the story. Two announcements: I am working on a story that involves the Animorphs, the Andalites, the Yeerks, and a secret government brotherhood that will explain a government conspiracy so wild and crazy the effects will shatter society for decades. The second announcement is that marching band season is approaching, and this summer I am off to band camp! Which sucks! This may or may not affect my stories and/or tracking of stories. Lo siento. Ahora, las respuestas a sus repasos.

Elwing: I read your review responses. As for LilManiac misspelling the word "liked", well, that's just how she spells it. I've seen the same mistake over and over in her other reviews.

By the way, in this May, it will be four years since the end of the Animorphs book series. (The 54th book came out in May 2001). The series began in the summer of 1996, nine whole years ago. And there's going to be an Animorph marathon to celebrate this in which participants read all of their Animorph books the have during May. I think I'll participate. I found out about this on and just thought that I should spread the word.

Happy Animorph-versary.

Whoooo-eee! Happy Animorph-versary to you too. The fifth of May is Cinco de Mayo, yet another reason to love May.

rockergurl13: hey, siverhawk27 here. logged in and changed my name. good chapter. i liked Jakes speech and Toby at the end was classic. UPDATE SOON!

Hey, you thought the Toby ending was classic? Cool.

animorph19: wow. cassie's outburst and jake's little speech at the end was awsome!

Hehe. I thought Jake deserved to tell Asculan off. And Cassie, she needed to release her pressure and once again, Andalites are the perfect outlet.

LucreziaNoin86: Yay! she's alive! I'm so happy. I love the way you're having the Animorphs stand up to the Andelites, that is like totally awesome. Oh and if Rachel and Tobias don't get together. I may have to stop reading. But I might not. Just let them be happy please!

Toby's alive; the Animorphs are telling the Andalites what's what; and yes, Rachel and Tobias are getting together. Somehow.

LilManiac: YEAH! WO-O-O-OHO-O-O-O!
YEEHAW!
BRILLANT!
I'M HIGH ON CHOCOLATE! YEAH!
YOU TELL EM CASSIE! TELL EM JAKE!
YEHEEAA!WONDERFUL! MOTERVATIONAL!
Oh, and by da way, i meant to spell liked, like... LYKED!
ITS HOW I WRITE IT WHEN I'M INSANE!
WHICH IS ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M ON CHOCOLATE! WHE-E-E!

Thank you, thank you. I did not know you spelled liked that way. My bad. But I didn't know people could get high on chocolate. I'll have to try that.

Tiamath: (cheers silently from the sideline) Go Jake:D
Great chapter. You've captured the innate pompousness of the andilite military commanders perfectly. It's a real treat when Jake reams him out.

Cool. My model for pompous Andalites is always those snooty jerks at school. School is just one big character pool.

LittleMidgett: Wo!
Go Jake! You tell that nasty bug on stick who's who round here!
YEAH!
You do not wanna see me hyper...it's dangerous.
Anyway!
Excellent chapter!
Glad Toby is okay! YES!

Toby will always be okay. It's you we're worried about.

Marco

Things moved quickly after the Andalites boarded.

Jake told their leader off, and now they have been a little bit nicer to us. Or maybe Ax told them about our secret weapon, the cinnamon roll. That would have made them more cooperative as well.

Especially that Asculan guy. When he came onboard, he was all high and mighty, unable to look us in the eyes. But now he was helping the Animorphs and Hork-Bajir finish cleaning up the remaining Yeerks.

Asculan sauntered over to Ax and raised his tail blade. Ax returned the salute.

(Young aristh, you have been fighting in this war for longer than most of us. You cannot be an aristh any longer. Aximili, you are now a Warrior. I will petition the War Council to make you a prince.)

Ax nearly fainted. He was shaking badly and barely managed to utter a reply. I grinned.

"Ax is a warrior? Alright." We were all grinning madly. We were happy for him. Proud of him. He is, and will always be, our friend. But I wonder where he will go after this?

I had no time to dwell on that thought, though. Asculan was bringing us around the moon to face the Yeerk fleet. I prepared for my first and probably last space battle.

Seemingly out of nowhere the ships started appearing. Dozens, hundreds of Bug fighters. One, two, five Blade Ships. Two more Pool Ships. It was a sight that made me gulp and want to turn slowly away. But I was mesmerized, as were everybody else.

Just as the Andalite ships started to shoot at the enemy fleet, we were hailed by both Pool Ships.

"The Yeerk Ships Matar and Esclavizar ask for protection and are willing to surrender to the humans for total security from the Andalites and freedom to return to the home planet."

It is safe to say that those who had jaws dropped them. Asculan immediately called for a halt and ordered a standby. He turned to us. (What do you think, human?)

Jake peered over Asculan's shoulder. The Yeerks were separating their engines and weapons. "I say we go for it."

Asculan said something to his advisors, who answered him in kind. He turned to the helm and sighed. (Okay, Yeerks, consider yourselves prisoners of the Andalites.)

The Hork-Bajir on the screen sat up. "No! We will surrender only to the humans."

(Fine. We will board soon. Deactivate all handheld weapons and release your hosts.)

The Yeerk nodded resignedly. The image blanked out to a dull blue color, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. Asculan turned back to Jake. (They are your problem now. We will send over some pilots to help you take them to the surface. Please prepare to reenter the atmosphere.)

-

The clouds flashed by, and I could suddenly see buildings and cars. The Pool Ship slowed down, and turned slowly above the Mall in Washington. Thousands of reporters were there already, cameras flashing and people yelling. The other two Pool Ships, as well as the rest of the Yeerk fleet stayed in the air, hovering two hundred feet above the excited crowd.

"All this for us? And I forgot my makeup." Jake laughed, then shot me a solemn glance. The war was finally over, the Earth was celebrating, and I looked around the bridge as the Pool Ship touched down. All of the Animorphs, minus James, and six Hork-Bajir were lined up to get off and explain the past four years.

Toby saw my look and winked. I laughed and prepared a witty comment, but Rachel's icy laser-like death stare kept me quiet. Then, abruptly, the doors opened.
