A/N: Okay, wow. I am really sorry for the previous and any later typos, spelling mistakes, etc. Here's the next chapter. As for my reviewer(s):
THANK YOU! I've tried to explain things a little more in this chapter.

I had been watching the entire thing.I saw what must have been a homing device, and I saw theVisser corner the car, and I saw who stepped out of the car..
When the Hork-Bajir fired, my hawk's heart nearly stopped. It threatened to stop again when the older man stepped in front of the blast. He took the beam in the chest, and leaped forward. I saw him draw two long, wickedly curved knives from behind his back. Two Hork-Bajir fell immediately, their throats sliced open. The guy spun around, and placed a kick into another's stomach, and following it up with a backhanded fist. He twirled, stabbing as he went. Six Hork-Bajir down, within the time it takes to yawn. Two more followed, victims of a roundhouse kick. I swear I could see the footprints.
(Get him you fools! He's unarmed!) The Visser roared. His four eyes couldn't see the twin blades, blades that reminded me of my own talons. The man paused only to show the Visser his knives, up close. There was suddenly a knife in the Andalite fur. The Visser roared, and charged forward. No Hork-Bajir were left to distract the man, giving him ample time to push Jake and Rachel into his SUV.
"You forget, Yeerk. I trained Alloran. I showed him all he knows." The man said. He circled the Visser, reacting seconds before the Visser made a move. I figured Alloran was the Visser's host, which answered one thing, but led to so many other problems.
The man moved left, right, and struck. The blade disappeared into Visser Three's stomach, and it became stuck. The human, or whatever he was, leapt back, but not before the deadly tail took a swipe at his face. The Visser turned as the man dropped, while Rachel and Jake nearly tore the car apart to see him. I flew off to find Marco, Cassie, and Ax.
Marco
"So... this guy took on twenty Hork-Bajir and Visser three, won, took a Dracon to the chest and a tail blade to the face, and Cassie says he's still not dead?" I asked.
"No, He's just just asleep. Maybe that's what Bal-whatsits do when they're fatally wounded. Or maybe he's jus exhausted." Cassie, said, looking at the body. He was sprawled out in the grass near Ax's scoop, unconscious.
(I met him once. He taught most of the Andalite arsiths how to tail-fight. He also taught us manuveurs to use while flying spacecraft. He is a very capable warrior. Only one person has ever acquired a Bal-Wyrm.) Ax said, musing in his alien way.
"Who?" Cassie asked.
(Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul. My brother.) Ax responded.
"So… Your bro was a good friend of his? He'll help us?" I asked. I'm the most paranoid of the group, and anyone who can beat up Rachel is on my warning list.
(Yeah, he'll help. He took a Dracon Beam for Jake and Rachel.) Tobias said from his branch.
"That's another thing. Why isn't he dead right now? I saw lots of Hork-Bajir hit him, and he didn't feel a thing," Rachel asked, most likely wanting that same endurance.
(Bal-Wyrms regenerate very quickly. Also, their hearts and brains are in one organ, located in the tail. The only way to kill them without using a large bomb or a wide-surface laser is to cut the tail off. Even then, they may take you with them. An internal defense mechanism allows the to spit their stomach acids at enemies at the point of death,) our resident alien expert explained. (In human form, the tail disappears, which makes the organ or the carxis disappear as well. In that form, they lose many innate abilities, but they gain an indestructible property. It is not uncommon for Bal-Wyrm soldiers to go into battle in human form.)
"I really want that morph now. I could be a goddess! " Rachel said.
(You would not gain the human form, just the Bal-Wyrm form, which means that you would be killable, but it would not be easy.
"It's like 'Godzilla' on steroids. Or 'Xena' with extra muscles and a tail," I said. And everyone knew I was totally right.
"Well, now that we have him on our side, we can finish this," Jake said.
"Whadda I miss?" the crazy guy said. Well, the one that had been sleeping.
(Prince Pongu, an honor to meet you.) Ax said, bowing.
"Shaddup, Ax. I'm here to…ooh, I smell burgers." The guy said. Definetly ADD. "Anyways, I'm here to tell you guys that the Bal-Wyrm Fleet is at your command. We're ready to fight. And hello, Aximilli-whatever your name is. Not to be mean, but I'm not a morning person."
"Cool. Now we've got an alien army at our backs. Let's-" Rachel started, until I cut her off.
"Kick some Yeerk butt!" I yelled, beating Rachel to it for once.
"Ass is a better term. Let's kick some Yeerk ass. Do they have asses?" the guy said. You know, for a dude that could basically kill anything he wants, he's kind of a dumb shit.
Review please! You really don't have a reason not to...
