TORI
"The Ellimist," said Sam
I had no idea who or what the Ellimist was, but I guess it was the thing in front of us
"What is going on?" asked my brother
"Do you know about the Lasterol Stone?"
"Sure," answered Leah, "our parents have told us about it"
"Except for me and John," I said
"As you know, your parents used the Lasterol Stone in order to free Earth from the Yeerks. What they didn't know, was they were playing a game"
"And your point is?" asked Sam
"My part of the game was that they get the Stone so they could save Earth and win. My nemesis, Crayak, had the Yeerks land there and take over"
"Where is this all going?" asked Adam
"Crayak lost, so he has spent the last fourteen years planning and plotting"
"So what has this got to do with us? What is going on here?" asked John
"We decided on a game. Crayak creates a new reality for the world, but I was allowed to save only a few people. I chose you lot"
"Why didn't you choose our parents?" I asked, "they have more experience"
"Crayak wouldn't allow that. He had tangled with them before and lost on a few occasions. He kinda wanted you because you are younger"
"Am I getting at a conclusion that everyone is getting at?" asked Adam
"Yeah," said Leah, "we're gonna play a game, right?"
"Yes"
With a sweep of his hands, the Ellimist transported us to a strange place. We were in something like an arena, flames on the four corner posts
"This isn't good," I said
"I hear you," said John
"What are the rules?" asked Sam
"I'll hand you over to Crayak"
The Ellimist moved back. Nothing appeared, but I could feel coldness on the back of my neck
"Children of the Animorphs," boomed a loud voice
"Who is that?" yelled Adam
"I am Crayak"
"What do you want exactly?" asked Leah
"I want you to play a game"
"What are the rules?"
"The rules. You are to go into a maze. There are creatures that you must battle against, each one tougher than the last"
"That doesn't sound so bad?" I said
"You all must all survive and make it through the maze, after beating your opponents. If you survive and make it to the end, I will send you home and return the world to normal"
"And if we lose?" asked Sam
"Then Earth will remain in the reality it's in"
I gulped at that thought
"So, ready to play?"
"We're gonna do this and win," said Leah
"Well, we have some good morphs. Leah and Tori, you got a new one each, didn't you?"
We both nodded
"Are we ready to do this?" asked Adam
"I'm there and so are we"
"Thanks Sam," I said to myself
"Crayak, Ellimist, we accept"
"Very well"
A large door opened in the wall opposite us. Hoping we will survive, I entered with everyone else, not knowing what lay ahead of us
