Sorry my computer messed up and I had to post what I had, I didn't mean to end on such a cliffhanger. Thanks for reading this far. This Chapter is for you JoJo, hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your reviews; you'll have to tell me what you think about this one. Is it me or does Elfangor deserve some good and his life…Oh yeah and revenge, he definitely deserves revenge.

Cassie

"Who are you?" For a few minutes he just kind of looked at me and a kind of sad smile came to his face.

My name is Elfangor-Sirinal-Shamtul and it's about time we were properly introduced. A far cry from the construction site isn't it. He handed me my water and I took a sip. My eyes grew teary.

"You're going to tell the others."

Of course. It finally occurred to me that he was using private thought-speak.

"We saw you die…" The words were out of my mouth before I knew I spoke them. Tears too fell from my eyes; I looked up at him. He seemed so big standing there in front of me, and he was. At least over six feet, but right now his eyes looked concerned for me, he knelt down so he could look into my eyes. Reaching up he wiped the tears off my face. For the first time I realized how much earth had changed this Andalite, he would have been a good father for Tobias.

You're right. But there are stranger things in this universe, and who is really to say where there is life among the dead?

I nodded and felt strangely comforted. For the first time I felt relieved. I managed a small smile that grew till it covered my whole face I took another drink. By the time I looked back at Elfangor he was already walking into the living room where the others sat. It was odd I thought, even as a human he still smiled with his eyes.

Rachel

Cassie followed him into the kitchen. I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing but sometimes she sees father than the rest of us so silently I wished her luck. We all were quiet as if trying to hear what was being said in the kitchen, because of a wall we couldn't see. A few minutes later the Andalite walked out with a look in his eyes like he knew a secret, Cassie too emerged a few minutes later. She looked like she had been crying but she was smiling, as she passed she winked.

"So…. See any good movies lately?" I shot Marco a look for that lame attempt at conversation. "Okay then, how about we get down to business? What has the Ellimist told you about us?"
"Everything from the day after the construction site."

"So you don't know about how we got the morphing power?" Too many Andalites had treated Ax like it was all his fault that Elfangor gave them the morphing power, I was going to set this one straight from the get go.

"Oh, I know how you got the morphing ability. I and I should."

This andalite was getting on my nerves, he knew way too much about us but we were getting nothing about him. I looked back at Cassie she smiled at me and nodded. She already knew who he was. "How come?" For a few minutes that felt like forever I waited for an answer.

Because I gave it to you. I don't think any of us breathed. It was like discovering your dad was Visser Three. Poor Ax had morphed human to eat chips with Marco and from the sound of it he was choking on one. Ax began to demorph. I looked at Jake he shrugged it seemed to me he might have expected this. Tobias had grabbed Loren's hand, but Loren it seemed wanted to punch Elfangor.

Then I noticed Ax. He was pissed, he had demorphed and it seemed his whole body was trembling. He walked over and calmly placed his tailblade right up against this Andalite's neck.

Demorph. The word was spoke like a knife; it cut the air and seems to resound in all of our ears.

"Easy Ax," It was Loren. "If you're going to beat him up at least let me talk to him first." It was said grimly but it was enough to ease the tension enough for him to step back and let this guy demorph. Tobias too had demorphed, I watched as he began to morph Ax. I looked at Ax he was talking to Tobias.

Tobias

As soon as I heard his voice it was like watching the construction site again only seeing it from every angle, every perspective mine, the Visser's and the Ellimist's. My mind was being overloaded by memories not my own, it was a rush. Space battles, wars that I had never fought and at the same time something familiar, it was love. Love like I felt for Rachel only for a young Human girl he had met by chance….

FLASH!

I was slamming my fighter into the side of a blade ship!

FLASH!

I was returning to a world where I was a hero, my family seeing me again. Meeting a younger brother I had only dreamed about.

FLASH!

Appearing before the war-council, a promotion to war-prince. Seeing a planet I had left behind years ago, watching my brother fall through the atmosphere. The visions came faster now. Going to an abandoned site that once was a lush forest to fine… The time Matrix! That hit me like a ton of bricks, he buried the time matrix! Then meeting five children and knowing on of them was his son… He knew.

Tobias! Ax's voice startled me. I looked at him. Please demorph and morph me. I was confused but I obliged.

Jake

Tobias looked dazed, I had been watching him for a few moments and it seemed to me that he was watching a totally different script unfold in front of him. Then I noticed that sharp look Ax was giving him, then Tobias began to demorph, but Tobias was not the only one demorphing. I looked at the one calling himself Elfangor, he looked totally human but then he closed his eyes and when he opened them again they were the bright green orbs I remembered so clearly. The rest of the morph happened quickly.

We were scared. Scared of what was and what might be, scared that we might have preferred a lie to the truth. Standing before us was an andalite that had haunted our dreams for nights after the construction site, whose dying screams as Visser Three ate him alive, still haunted my dreams. And yet here he was standing before us, whole and intact. His blue fur seemed metallic and his body carved from steel; it was a far cry from the wounded bleeding War-Prince we had met so long ago. His eyes were sharp and always watching and easy confidence that so many other of his race didn't have despite their arrogance flowed out of him. His upper torso was battle scarred and you could see depth and intensity in him. Perhaps he was all Ax had said he was, a true hero. Then again how many times with Ax's people had looks been deceiving.

I looked at Ax; he seemed to be standing almost in awe of his brother. Of all the andalites we had seen Ax be polite and respectful to it was this one who actually deserved it, and this one who didn't want it.

Breathe easy Kala, I'm no ghost. I don't know what Ax had intended to say but in the end he said everything. It was as if years of grief had finally let loose. For an Andalite this was a very uncomfortable moment, but if Elfangor was uncomfortable he didn't show it.

Mother and Father think you're dead and they, the war-council and Lirem, think that I gave them the morphing power. I fell into the ocean and you didn't find me! You left me! He had been screaming, I had never heard Ax scream. I noticed Cassie walk up and put her hand on his shoulder and hand that he didn't try to move. I think for the first time in a long time I realized despite the fact Ax was an alien he was just a kid like us. A kid whose hero, whose brother was gone. Just like my brother. I think now when I see my brother Tom again I'll yell at him to for going to the Sharing over a girl. You left me! This time it was a whisper barely audible to my mind. But I understand my brother had left me and he had been gone a long time too.

Then Elfangor began to speak, not in English but in the beautiful andalite language.

Elfangor

You left me! Those words echoed through my mind, the pain in his voice. He might be a seasoned soldier but in my eyes he was still a child, they all were, but this one was my little brother. As a warrior I could not say what I was going to say and a brother I could. I looked at his human friends I didn't want to embarrass him, that truly would have been unforgivable so I spoke to him in our language.

Aximili, Ax if you prefer listen to me. You know that I would have came for you if I could have, you're my brother why would I leave you there to die? You have been very brave and I am so proud of you, you have passed all of my expectations and gone father. There are no coincidences Aximili, it wasn't by chance you were brought here it was shall we say divine appointment, because long before our stories were written it was known that you and only you could do what you've done. Remember when we were younger and you would tell stories and place us in the battles of old with the heroes like Knaava and Hatepshet. Well here is our chance, because just like in your stories we always came out two heroes, two brothers. It seemed to me that he heard his eyes softened. He looked at the others seated all around on couches or the floor then back at me.

I know you would have came for me and I have been brave. But you were the only one I had for so long then I had Tobias, my nephew. He is my shorm. I am sorry how I acted, but it hurt for so long to think that maybe if I had gone with you… He didn't need to say the rest I knew.

I looked at Tobias in morph; It suits you well. He smiled. I looked at the one Aximili had called 'Prince'. Do you wish for my help Jake? It would be an honor to serve with you. He looked at the others, they all gathered in one corner of the room. Loren still sat on the couch; she looked so beautiful like a blonde haired angel as the humans call them. I truly didn't know what to say to her, she stood and walked toward me. She was so close, her face inches from mine I could look into those blue eyes and pretend that she remembered…

Rachel

I had made up my mind I was all for Elfangor, so was everyone else we were just going over a few minor details.

"So we tall Elfangor he has to call Aximili Ax from now on and none of that Prince Jake crap." Those key details of course came from Marco and got a grin from Jake. Cassie tapped my arm and made a jerking motion with her head, I looked behind me.

"Guys look." We all turned and there was Loren inches from Elfangor, her fingers brushing her face. Then we heard her speak.

Loren

I had been watching him since he demorphed, he was older and toughened by years of war but it was he. He was still the man I loved so much I had allowed my self to live as another's wife just to cherish his memory. He loved me still I could see it in his eyes. I don't know why I had been given my memory back, but I was savoring every sweet second. The others walked away I wanted to be closer to him just one more time. Years had passed and he probably had a wife on his planet, yes I told my self just one more time.

I walked over and stood looking at him, into green eyes that were so beautiful. I smiled, Elfangor years ago had told me that when he was Andalite and I was human we looked like and angel and the devil. I reached up and touched his face, an andalite kiss if I recall, traced his face with my fingertips. His whole body felt tense. I had to tell him I remembered. Then in my mind I recalled something taught to me long ago.

" Di'ahyata naeen kah tose." My heart is yours forever.

Marco

"Did she just speak in Andalite?" I asked. I had to ask this was just too good. "What did she say?"

She said 'My heart is yours forever.

"So Marco," Rachel's pinched me. "What does that tell you when the andalite gets a human girl, in his natural form, before you get a one in yours?"

"Yeah well I could probably get a boyfriend that didn't have feathers."

"SHUT UP."

SHUT UP."

Tow pairs of voices, some spoken and some in thought-speak silenced Rachel and I. We watched as Loren set her palms on Elfangor's chest.

Elfangor

" Di'ahyata naeen kah tose." As soon as she spoke them I knew she remembered. En di'yon. And mine. Ak vandean Na'mahi dae'wrek nashnarine hu-es vun'duyne. I did not wish to leave but I had to save you. "Kc'hatan, kc'hatanyets neche." You did, you saved us all.

All three of my hearts were racing, I was aware the Animorphs were watching but I didn't care. She remembered me. I wanted them to go away.

Vanda wes tofan'rs. Tonight I want you here.

"Va'yer ya hacya." Tomorrow the valley. She leaned forward and kissed me. I felt my main eyes get very big, if I was human I swear I would have blushed.

Jake

I couldn't help but feel as if I was eavesdropping, it was cute though. I put my arm around Cassie. It had been so long since I had done that. I guess I tried to imagine loving someone so much and thinking I would never see her again. It made me want to forgive her of everything. Loren kissed Elfangor he looked very embarrassed.

I looked at Marco; "On the bright side he looks like he doesn't get kissed much more than you do." We all started laughing making Elfangor and Loren look at us. From the saucy look on her face I had a feeling there was a side to her none of us knew about.

"We decided that you can help us," I couldn't keep from grinning. "As long as you call Ax well Ax and you never call me 'Prince Jake.' Only Ax can do that." Then Ax said whispered something; I looked at Tobias he nodded. "And you have to…" God I couldn't say this. I looked at Rachel; it was then that I realized that I had been the last to know about this little stipulation.

"I'll do it. We think you guys are cute, you have to stay a couple."

Gee is it that obvious. Fine but we need to talk… alone.

"Okay, Loren can get you guys to the valley."

He bowed an Andalite bow, and it was the first time an Andalite beside Ax and Galuit had actually showed me true respect. Silently I thanked the Ellimist, once again I felt hope.

Cassie

Jake hugged me as we stood there it was so nice to be close to him again. I had missed his strength, for a few seconds I knew exactly what Loren was feeling, I knew in my gut when we left we would be leaving without her. Ten minutes later we were flying back to the Hork-Bajir valley.

You guys realize that was the first time I have ever seen my parents together. Tobias sounded so happy, for the first time he had a family and I knew Elfangor would take care of him and his mother.

It was a beautiful day today in so many ways, the sun was up and flying was beautiful. That night when we told the other parents who it was the emotions were mixed, Naomi wanted to kill him. Eva she just wanted to meet the Andalite that had caused the former and present Visser Ones so much trouble, Marco's dad really didn't care. My parents figured since Ax was such a good boy Elfangor would be too, in all truth though there was nothing boyish about Elfangor. I mean he was as old as they were. None of that though was what made the day so great.

It was sunset and I was watching the sun go down from one of the Hork-Bajir tree platforms. When I looked back beside me Jake was sitting there next to me, he held me. For a long time I just cried and felt relieved, he cried too. And then we kissed; we kissed for a long time.

Elfangor

It was dark, about nine. I looked at Loren lying in my bed, she had fallen asleep about a half hour ago which was all well and good for her but I had my own plans for tonight. I was looking for the location of a meeting tonight, only four yeerks in attendance but I wasn't out to make a difference, not yet at least. I was out to send a message.

Today had been wonderful, we talked and I made us lunch, she took a bubble bath. I would never tell her but she really did smell, but I guess that's what happens when you live in a forest. When I had towel she had stood up, she was so beautiful. Wrapping her self in it she had kissed me, then taken me to my room. I leaned back and closed my eyes to the memory. She had set me on the bed and slid my shirt off over my head, kissing me and caressing me all the while… It had been wonderful. We had made love all day.

Now she was sleeping and I was plotting murder. A little bit more effort and I was rewarded with the address of the meeting, what do you know it was at Chapman's house. He and his wife were both controllers, they had one daughter. The other controller Tom Berenson, his host was young but his yeerk was very important. And a girl named Taylor very interesting. They would all die but I would need to make sure the girl wasn't at the house, if she was then she would be coming with me. I put on my clothes, dark blue jeans with a black leather belt and black T-shirt. I strapped on a pair of pistols around a shoulder holster and a shredder around my waist; a six-inch dagger was strapped to my forearm. I threw a jacket overtop. Making sure I had a pair of gloves in my pocket I left.

I have been waiting fifteen minutes for all of the yeerks to arrive; the last one just walked through the door. Chapman's daughter had just left to spend the night at one of her friend's houses. I lifted some binoculars to my eyes, the one called Taylor would have to be taken out first she would have the cleanest shot when I came in, I switched to infrared to see if she had anybody armor on. Her whole head was plated and she had prosthesis for an arm and a leg. Her yeerk was protected so I would need to shoot her in the neck and paralyze her. The garage had been left open I was ready.

I walked to their house as if I belonged, just another person coming in for their meeting. I knocked on the door Mrs. Chapman answered. I fired my pistol into right through her neck, blood and bone splattered onto the wall behind her.

"Honey is everything okay in there?" The silencer had prevented them from hearing the shot over the TV. I quickly closed the door, and walked into the kitchen. My first shot went right through Taylor's neck leaving her and her yeerk on the floor dying. Tom tried to draw his weapon but he and Chapman were both looking down gun barrels.

On your knees and drop your weapons.

Two dracon weapons skittered across the floor as both controllers dropped slowly to their knees. The young one looked up angrily and began to speak.

"Andalite FIL! His last words silenced by the sound of a pistol and a bullet going through his head. For Chapman I have other ideas, because it was him I would speak to but the girl's yeerk that would deliver the message. Still holding the pistol inches from Chapman's head I demorphed. Walking around in front of him I looked at my prisoner. Chapman recognized me immediately.

The last time you saw me it was I who looked up from the ground at you and you who laughed at my weakness. It is time to pay for old debts, but before you die I want you to know something Visser One's occupation of Earth is over. I am War-Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul and though I may fight for her I am here for blood, the beast is back.

I raised my pistol to Chapman's head and pulled the trigger, brains and skull and yeerk splattered against the wall. I looked at Taylor her yeerk was still trying to focus, trying to hang on and remember. Carefully I dragged all the bodies into the living room and crossed their arms over their chest in the human fashion. Putting my fingers in their blood I drew a half moon on each of their foreheads, Andalite tradition says it is the changing of the moons that bring the souls to heaven or judgement. Whispering an andalite prayer as final memorial to my enemies I left.
