CHAPTER 1

My name is Tobias and I am with Ax. The people around us are looking at Ax funny.

It's not like people don't normally look at Ax funny. He is very funny when he is human. You see he is usually an Andalite. When he is an Andalite, people don't look at him funny, they run, and if they are a controller they try to kill him.

Okay, let me back up. Ax is not from around here, because he is an Andalite. They look sort of like a mix between a deer, human and scorpion. Like a centaur, but with these stacked eyes and a wicked fast tail with a shorm blade at the end. You see I know his tail is fast. I've seen him use it, killing Holk-Bajir, taxxon, and anything else with a yeerk in its head.

Okay, now you are really confused. Well buddy, Earth is being invaded. Not by cute, cuddly, little green aliens, but by yeerks. They are a parasitic race. They go into your head and control you. They take you over with the utmost of control. You can't move your own eyes. The yeerks move them. You can't scream, stomp or cry. They do that for you.

You are stuck inside your own head. Nasty? Well, it gets worst. Not the yeerks, but the fact that the only ones who are keeping them at bay are the Animorphs.

There are five of us. There is Ax, the Andalite, Jake, our leader, Cassie, the understanding, Marco, the goof, and Rachel, the warrior.

Rachel, if I wasn't how I am I would probably be a lot more serious with her. More like Cassie and Jake are. They like each other. And well, they can show it I guess. It's sorta hard to hug a bird.

Yes, I am Tobias, the almighty Bird-boy. A red-tailed hawk actually. At least I'm not a jay. So yes, there are just five kids and an alien to stand up against the yeerks. Don't start betting yet. We animorphs each have a special power, which is why I am Bird-boy.

The morphing technology gives us the ability to morph or change into any animal we touch. There are some very powerful morphs, but there are some drawbacks with morphing. You can only stay in a morphed form for two hours. Any more then that and you stay in that form permanently. You can't dimorph, so you become a nothlit.

Nothlit is the Andalite term for what I am. I got stuck in my hawk morph, so I am Bird-boy. That changed when Ellimist, a very powerful creature, gave me back my power to morph. He twisted time so I could morph into my old body. It's a long story.

So now here I am, at the mall in the candy shop and joining my fellow customers in giving Ax a very funny look.
