"Ellimist." I breathed silently. I looked around the frozen pool. Jake and the others told me about the Ellimist. About his little game with reality. "I was wondering when we would meet."
"Greetings. I am the Ellimist."
"I know. What do you want? I need to kill that slug. Why did you stop time the moment I was about to pull the trigger?"
"Simple," the Ellimist began. He was in the apearance of a short blue lepricaun. he was really old with long silvery hair and a staff. "I am here to prevent a horrible misfortune."
"And what would that be?" I have to admit that I was feeling more annoyed then awed.
"Look to your far right. While you were busy seeking revenge, several controllers took your friends. In about a minute their heads will be pludged beneath the surface of the yeerk pool and several seconds after that they will be infested. The shot you take at Visser 3 will not kill him, and in the time that you take to truly kill him your friends will have already become controllers. Jake, Ax, and Tobias will burst in through the far door soonafter to rescue them all. They will trick them into following them towards the pool and then they too will become infested. You as well."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The others would be captured because of me? How could I have been so stupid as to leave them out in the open like that! But there was one flaw in the Ellimists explanation.
"But they're in morph!" I retorted.
"I'm afraid not. You see they demorphed within the Ramonite box and tried to escape, but unfortately ran into a group of controllers. They were found out and captured. After infestation the yeerks tricked Jake to demorph. Tobias and Ax were andalites already. Do you see now?"
"This- this isn't possible! How can you be telling me this? What abut your rules!" I exclaimed.
"Rules were meant to be broken..." Said the Ellimist as he faded away into nothingness. The world started up again and I looked around dumbfounded until I heard a familiar voice.
"Andalites! Thought you could escape in human morph did you?" Said Visser 3 "I'm afraid not." He said as he commanded a second yeerk to dunk Rachels head in the pool. I made a silent prayer and blew off the controlers arm. Rachel quickly raised her head from the pool, pulling a yeerk out of her ear and stepping on it.
I ran over and blew away the other Controllers holding everyone else. The Visser seemed infuriated at us and sent at us several Controllers. I made quick work of them and fired on the Visser.I hit him hard. I took pleasure as he was forced to retreat, a deadly look smeared on his face. I decided then to back away.
They followed me to the side where I demorphed and then remorphed to Jaguar with them.
((I saw the Ellimist guys.)) I explained.
((Who?)) George.
((You did? What was the occasion?)) Marco.
((I'll explain later. We need to meet up with Jake and theothers.)) Right on cue, Jake, Ax, and Tobias burst in through the far doors.
((How did you- oh right, the Ellimist)) Said Cassie. After catching up with Jake we had a brief meeting of the minds and then split up. We would all get out of the pool complex simultaneously, causing as much destruction as possible, then meet up at the barn for a short meeting before going home.
((See you at the barn guys.)) I said as I took off. I gored a few weak controllers on my way until I found my exit. It was a narrow doorway that I prayed would lead to the surface.
I was in luck. It was actually a staircase that led into the mall. The mall had closed a few hours ago so all the lights were off. I barreled down through the pitch black mall, and hoped that there was a way out of here.
Soon I found the front glass doors. Success! But wait. A figure stood between me and my freedom. They pulled out a Dracon beam. "Goodbye, Andalite." said the figure. Then I knew.
Meghan.
