JOHN

I was large and powerful

I was like the Basilisk, but without the death glare

Even still, I could cause nearly instant death with my fangs, since the venom is powerful

I was a maximum forty feet along, longer than Tori's Travest morph

We had clashed together, blood and body parts flying

Above us, another battle raged about, as the Andalites fought against the Skrit Na

I reared up on about 2/3 of my body, towering over everyone else

I hissed and dived, sinking my fangs into a Howler's chest. And because my fangs are long, they exited through his chest

The Howler struggled, as I flicked him off with my tongue

Leah flew around, breathing fireballs, incinerating the Howlers in their numbers. And I realized there wasn't hundreds of Howlers

There were thousands, about four to five thousand to be exact

But I didn't let this deter me, as I weaved around quickly, despite my large size, diving and biting, killing any Howler that I bit nearly instantly

Tori let rip with a supersonic boom, blasting several Howlers into the air. They didn't move again. Adam was slashing fast, mincing a Howler and spitting acid onto another. Sam was ripping the Howlers apart with his spikes. He was quickly covered in Howler blood

I dived and struck again. A Howler shot me with a Dracon beam. I focused on him and filled him with venom. Another Howler came at me, but I swung my head and caught him with my spikes, impaling him and sending him flying

An Andalite fight crashed and burst into flames, followed by a Skrit Na ship

Pain in my side

I twisted around and lashed out at the Howler, but he jumped back and I missed him. The Howler's claws flashed and I felt pain in my neck

I threw back my head, knocking the Howler aside. And as he opened his wings, I struck, replacing his blood with my venom. He dropped

I felt my blood running down my back and ignored the pain

I looked around, searching for any more prey and I found them in sheer numbers. The Andalites couldn't help us due to the fact they were fighting their own war

I could hear the music that was playing out across the field. The song playing now was Linkin Park's "One Step Closer"

One step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I snapped my jaws and lashed out at another Howler, as a Skrit Na ship fell, crashed and burned along with the rest of burning metal

I caught a Howler on my fangs and tilted my head back, swallowing him in one go

I faced several Howlers looking up at me. They had seen me eat their comrade

(Who's next?) I asked

Flit! Flit! Flit! Flit! Flit! Flit! Flit!

Pain in my body, as I was hit with the flechette guns. Like little darts pricking me

I whipped my tail around and sent them flying

(See you next summer) I said

One step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

Yes, it was one step closer to the edge, before we would break. I was fighting against a virus, which were the Howlers. I was the anti-virus, snaking through and infecting the Howlers, killing them off, one by one

I slithered forth and struck down another Howler

Dracon beams and metal darts flew past, a few hitting me

I lunged, biting and infecting, killing, filling those with venom

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up

Finally, the Andalites had won their battle against the Skrit Na and were now firing upon the Howlers, blasting them apart with their guns

Several Howlers took to the air, but were shot down as well

The battle had turned in our favour

I caught a flying Howler on my fangs and dropped him

That's when I noticed a large, green energy ball flying through the air. It didn't come from our side. It was heading for us

"Oh I don't like this at all"

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, shut up, shut up, Shut Up

I'm about to break

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to BREAK
