Authors Note: Some bad language in this chapter. I have the need to warn my loyal fans, since there are a lot of bible-beating hippies out there. Just kidding.

Reviews:

Lilmaniac- It was that sad? Oh well, I guess that's what I'm here for. Thanks again.

Traycon3- Really? I didn't know that. Oh well, glad you liked it.

Onto the Next chapter! (Yay!)

I woke up with a headache. As in, I woke up, and then fell face forward after getting up. Isn't waking up a blast? Did I just say 'blast'? Weird.

I put on some fresh clothes (we did the laundry the other day) and walked downstairs. I had breakfast with my dad and went outside to hop onto my bus. I was really tempted to morph the Maltese and fly to school, but I didn't want to get an earful from half the school for wearing spandex.

I walked off the bus and was greeted by the Alien formerly known as George.

"What's up man?" it asked.

"Nothing really. How was your meeting?"

"Really good. You should really join; it's getting cooler now that it's the summer." Talking to this guy was going to make me sick.

"No thanks. I'm not interested." I responded. The real George was listening in there, and I wanted him to know that I wasn't going to buy into his Yeerks scheme.

"At least go to one meeting, and I guarantee you'll agree with me. In fact, they're holding one tonight. Want to go?" he asked.

"Sorry. Can't. I have a previous engagement with some friends." He seemed disappointed.

At lunch, things only got more difficult. I went down to the cafeteria alone, trying to ignore George as much as possible. Then she came into the picture.

"Hey Michael, what's up?" Meghan asked. I gazed at the girl I knew to be Meghan, a.k.a. the most beautiful girl on the planet, and I swear my jaw almost dropped.

"Hi." I replied weakly. Then I remembered what she had become. It didn't help my increasingly bad mood.

"Wanna go out later?" she asked me. A date? This has got to be the single greatest- WAIT! No, this is just a plot to make me become a Controller. No matter how much I want to, I can't go out with her. But, then they will suspect something, I mean, the Yeerk knows I have a mega crush on her. If I don't accept, they might catch on. Fuck, again! Why the hell does this crap only happen to me!

"Sorry, Meghan, but I can't tonight. I have to go somewhere. Maybe tomorrow?"

"Sure." She smiled, "I can't wait." Damn, was she hot. Did I say that out loud? She winked at me and left to talk to her gal-pals.

I met up with Jake after lunch. He seemed glad to see me.

"Hey. How're you holding up?"

"Not well. So when's this thing going down anyway. I'm on the market for revenge."

"Look, this is strictly professional, okay? We're doing this because we have to, not for personal gain."

"So that's why you tried to rescue Tom from the yeerk pool all those many moons ago?"

"That was different."

"How so? I think your being superficial."

"Maybe so, but the point is not for you to get out of control tonight. We have a job to do."

"Fine, but no promises. I have every right to enjoy this."

"Fine, just do me a favor. Don't get yourself killed tonight, for the sake of your friends."

He left and I was forced to go through the rest of the day anticipating the mission. I don't think I was nervous, but I had never actually had a real mission before. Remember Michael, if all else fails, just complete the mission in whatever way possible. There is no room for mistakes here. I will show them what I can really do.

That night, I got a call from Cassie. This was it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Michael. Are you ready? The others are almost here, they can't wait to go downtown tonight."

"I'll be there in five minutes." I hung up the phone and put on my morphing outfit. I told my dad I was sleeping over at Marco's house. I ran out the door and went behind the house to morph. After focusing on the picture of the Maltese, I started to change again.

I set out into the night, off into the direction of Cassie's barn. After about ten minutes of awesome flying I demorphed and joined the meeting. They were all ready to go, so after a minute or so of debriefing, we all morphed bird, myself owl, and madfe our way to the city via a widespread formation.

When we got there, there were several human guards patrolling the site. Oh yeah, this was big.

After taking out the guards, I morphed Jaguar and burst through the double doors. The building was completed except that the office complex's hadn't been rented out yet. Perfect.

"Andalites!" screamed the doorman as he pulled out a handheld dracon and opened fire. Marco easily took him out with a massive gorilla punch to the head.

We barreled down a hallway, knocking down controllers all the way. An alarm went off somewhere in the building and that's when I realized we were in some deep shit.

When we smashed through another set of doors leading into the first floor office complex we stopped dead in our tracks. In this office working were hundreds of armed Hork-Bajir and human Controllers, including several Taxxon Controllers. They all paused and loked straight at us.

Oh yeah, we were in some deep shit.
