-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We landed at Cassie's barn and demorphed. I led the way. Behind me, Ax, Meghan, and George followed. It looked sort of like when Darth Vader was marching through the Death Star. And let me tell you, it felt pretty cool.

"So Jake, who do I have to kill tonight?" I began.

"For the last time. We. Need. To. Be. Serious! We can't just kill innocent lives simply because they are under control! It is unethical." He ranted.

"Fine. Let me refrase that. What's the mission?"

"The Visser is going to another important Sharing meeting again tonight. In short, we need to put a damper on his little banquet. We leave in half an hour."

While the others left to tell their parents some lie to get them to go on the mission, George, Tobias, Meghan, Ax ,and I sat back and talked. Just talked. It seemed that quiet moments like this were becoming alien to me. I wouldn't call this unfortunate, but sometimes I would have just preferred not knowing about any of this. I guess the hero's path isn't as glamorous as I once thought.

So far, I remained silent, lost in thought and trying to ready myself for the impending attack. I think I was taking it too seriously, but now I guess that I was no longer the Michael everyone knew and loved. I was a product of war. I tasted battle, I killed. And i liked it. I liked it a lot and that was what scared me. How could I have fallen so far?

Soon the others gathered and one by one we took off into the sky towards the battle to come. I was ready.

We all landed in a cluster of trees outside of the building, I watched as several limos drove up to the entrance. Several Controllers, along with 'Mr. Visser'. It looked something to the effect of opening night of a big movie. I could feel my persona changing. I was ready for battle, ready to save the planet. If I should die, I would try to take as many as I could with me. That's how hard I was.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We exploded through the wall. We were a stampede! Everyone that tried to get in our way was either knocked down, thrown back, or torn apart. The remaining security led the bystanders out of the building, leaving us in the middle of a massive building wrought with overturned tables, smashed walls, gore, unconcous guards, and even a fire here and there from the dracon fire.

The only problem? The Visser escaped into the sublevels. I demorphed with the others. I stayed in my human form. The yeerlks already knew who I was. They ruined me. If they saw me fighting with the Animorphs it would do no harm to the others. I pulled out a large SMG-Style dracon deam followed Jake and the others down into the yeerk building.

It was quite vacant. Here and there we would get some light resistance, but not so much that we couldn't handle them. I looked out of a window after dispatching a scrawwny human controller and saw none other than Visser 3 stepping into a limo, with what looked like a bomb detonator in his hand. He drove off.

"OH SHIT! IT'S A TRAP! THERE'S A FUCKING BOMB IN THE BUILDING!"

((Quick, the window!)) Shouted jake.

((It's too small!)) screamed Cassie.

"Move!" I yelled to the others. We ran into a side door a went into none other than a mini pool room. A jacuzzi sized tank holding a few yeerks was in the middle of the room. A large window was next to it.

I ushered out the ladies first. Then the guys went. I was the last one to leave, except that when I was halfway out the window the bomb went of and I was flung back and plunged into the yeerk pool.

"NNNNOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed until my entire body fell beneath the mucky ooze. I felt something touch my ear. I thrashed wildly trying to get it away, but it was no use. I felt a blinding pain, like someone was hammering a nail into my skull. Soon the pain stopped.

Then all was black.
