My name is Jeremy Roberts and my life was far from normal since those who live normal lives mostly worry about growing up, graduating from high school, finding a job, and dealing with family issues.
For me, I've never had those kinds of luxuries but I certainly do have family issues due to being a genetic experiment and raised in a lab with my fucked up younger brother by a twisted scientist called Harlan Wade, our grandfather who treated us less than human and we became known as company property by the corrupt Armacham Technology Corporation until I was deemed a failure and had my memories erased when I was 18.
After that, I was drafted into the US Army and had been a soldier for most of my adult life until I was transferred into the special forces unit known as FEAR, a US Army black ops division that mainly deals with the paranormal and other events that US soldiers aren't trained to handle before my past came back to haunt me, literally.
After what I experienced from the results of my psychotic brother Paxton Fettel and our insane deceased mother Alma Wade's actions, I had discovered the ugly truth about myself and everything came flooding back which made me feel anger and hatred for what Armacham did to our mother and us, but I had a new sibling now after many events occurred throughout an entire year and managed to let go of the past once I killed my brother for the last time and helped my mother move on from her torment.
Long story short, that was my entire life and I had taken the name Jeremy Roberts to ensure that what's left of Armacham couldn't find me and my newborn sibling, but now everything had become way more complicated for me and the kids I have come to call my friends.
Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect? Well, in chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in a large difference in a later state. This was theorized by a man named Edward Lorenz, who theorized that a hurricane could've been formed from as something as simple as a butterfly flapping its wings several weeks earlier.
To an ordinary mundane person, it sounds unbelievable but I have seen the impossible before so nothing surprises me and I believe in the concept itself since small changes can easily affect the outcome of the future if you try hard enough, which is what my allies and I are trying to do.
Who are we? We are the ones who are protecting you from the threats you don't know, the things you probably don't want to know, but the fact that you're reading this proves you at least want to know what's happening here...and what are we protecting you from?
The Yeerks, an entire race of small slug-like parasitic aliens and they truly exist while they are here on Earth. Now, you might call me crazy and say that they don't exist, but they are here and you can't see them...well, you can at the same time but you don't know they're there.
Your friends, family, girlfriend, son, daughter, school teachers, police officers, employees of the federal government, military personnel, even the President and his Cabinet could be Yeerks acting as human Controllers and you wouldn't even know, which is a scary thought.
That's what the Yeerks are, they climb into your ear, wrap around your brain and merge into it while taking complete control of your body and having perfect access to your memories, knowing everything about who they control and able to mimic them almost flawlessly while the original host watches helplessly in the passenger seat. The seriously terrifying thing about this is that you might never know if your family or coworkers are Controllers or not, and that's what makes it hard to trust someone since saying something to the wrong person could get you killed or enslaved.
In this new world I found myself in, the Yeerks are here and they want Earth so that they can control all of humanity to continue their path of conquest against their enemies, another alien race called the Andalites. During my stay on this alternate version of Earth, I've discovered that humans are not the first race Yeerks have conquered and learned that reportedly hundreds of other species have been taken over, some like the Taxxons, Hork-Bajir, and Gree but there are many more I have heard of that are just as dangerous.
Me and my fellow resistance fighters, we are all that's standing in the Yeerks' way of global takeover and between freedom or enslavement. There is only a handful of us right now, but we'll grow and build an army of resistance fighters who'll keep fighting until we either eliminate the Yeerks or force them off our planet for good.
It all might sound crazy when you think about it, but I have seen unthinkable paranormal horrors and been in a war before so an alien invasion and other dimensions aren't that far fetched to me and to think it all started about a month ago when I was visited by a strange being who needed my help.
I gently shushed my little sister, Hannah, as we were in a motel room and carefully rocked her to calm her down while she was being fussy, hoping that we would be able to find a permanent place to stay that didn't have Armacham's influence everywhere.
It had been two months since I left the ruins of Fairpoint and remained on the run with Hannah so that Armacham wouldn't find us and take my sister away, making sure to use many aliases to make it much harder to track us down but I took up the name Jeremy Roberts so that I could finally have a sense of identity and feel more human instead of using the title First Prototype to remind me of my dark past.
In any case, I had felt comfortable enough to stop at a motel in Nevada once I made sure we weren't being followed by anyone suspicious but I was tired of being on the run and it was not the life Hannah should live so I needed to find a place that was safe from Armacham's influence and settle down so that I could give Hannah the life she deserves without becoming like me or God forbid, my brother Paxton and my mother.
I didn't know what to do since this was the first time I was raising a child and started to consider leaving her with a nice family so that she wouldn't be in danger, but I knew Armacham was everywhere with having the police and the government on their payroll and they could kill whoever is raising Hannah and take her anyway since I fully understood just how cruel and ruthless the company is.
It was then that I made my choice to keep moving until we could find a home where Armacham couldn't find us and raise her to be a better person than me and my brother used to be. I sighed and put Hannah in a rented crib before tucking her in and running a hand through my neck-long hair, heading to the bathroom and turning on the light as I peered at myself through the mirror.
I looked like hell with my long hair looking slightly messy and my beard appearing bushy from lack of care as I took off my clothes and got into the shower, letting out a breath of relief from the warm water relaxing my muscles and making me lower my guard as I rested my hands against the wall and let the water cascade down my back while I pondered my options.
'Okay, Jeremy, need to find a safe place away from Armacham and settle down for Hannah so that she can live a mostly normal life away from them,' I thought while lathering up my hair with soap and washing it to get the grime out before using a razor to shave my beard and also cutting my hair with a pair of scissors until I was clean-shaven and my hair was short while it was spiked up at the front.
Once I was done taking a shower, I slipped on a blue jeans jacket, black t-shirt, green cargo pants, and work boots before stepping out of the bathroom and that's when I had the feeling that I wasn't alone. My training kicked in as I instantly scanned the room and cautiously headed to the dresser where one of my Strader MK. III handguns were safely hidden, taking out one of the handguns and taking the safety off just as I felt a presence behind me and spun around with my gun up as the sights lit up orange when I spotted the strange creature standing next to the front door.
I kept my gun trained on the creature as I studied it, seeing that it vaguely looked humanoid but it has rainbow-colored quills instead of hair with four wings coming out of its back like an angel, four arms along with four eyes, and its feet looked like talons as I narrowed my eyes and made sure to keep that thing in my line of sight to prevent any ambushes it might be planning.
"Don't be alarmed, Jeremy Roberts, I mean you and your sister no harm so you can lower that gun," the creature reassured calmly with its male voice carrying a slight echoing tone but I kept aiming at him and decided to make him understand that I was not going to lower my gun for any reason.
"Don't move and keep your...hands...where I can see them," I warned coldly with a glare, my voice rough and gravelly and the creature slowly raised his four arms as he smiled peacefully.
"Very well, if that's what you wish," the creature relented as I stood in front of my sister's crib and tilted my head in slight confusion since I've never seen anything like him before.
"What...are you?" I asked carefully and decided not to shoot him since he wasn't being a threat yet but I still aimed at him since I didn't know what to make of the creature in front of me.
"I am not your enemy, Jeremy, but I have come to you for a reason so please hear me out," the creature told me and I frowned uncertainly as I hesitantly lowered my gun since something about him told me that he wasn't a threat to me and my sister while some part of me was interested in what he had to say.
"Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now, but bear in mind that I don't trust you and I'm keeping my weapon out at all times," I stated suspiciously and the creature nodded in agreement.
"I understand, you're just trying to protect your newborn sister so your terms are fair," the creature said as I warily headed over to the single bed and sat down while I gazed at him.
"Okay, speak your mind and if I hear something I don't like, you are leaving or I will kill you," I warned and the creature kept his distance as he sent me a calm expression that told me he understood.
"Very well...to start, I am known as the Ellimist and I'm not from this dimension but the reason I'm here is that I need your assistance," the Ellimist started and I frowned.
"Why are you here and why do you need my help when you could've asked anyone else on this planet?" I questioned in confusion and tensed up when the Ellimist started looking grim.
"Because something terrible is about to happen in the future but let me explain. Where I'm from, there is a version of your Earth that's being invaded by an alien race and a group of resistance fighters has been fighting against them at the risk of their safety...only years from now during the final battle, a horrible change of events occurs and the group is slaughtered before a paradox happens in time itself.
How this happened is that a terrible being so filled with evil and madness appeared and the war was lost when he just...massacres them in horrific and unthinkable ways after forcing them to watch him butcher their loved ones before their eyes.
The monster responsible for murdering the resistance group and their loved ones proceeded to go on an unstoppable rampage across the planet and wiped out all life on it, even the invaders were targeted and no one survived the bloody slaughter while he was so consumed with insanity and darkness that even I was unable to stop him from his horrifying path of genocide.
The monster that wiped out all life on the planet...was your brother Paxton Fettel and he had become something that couldn't even be seen as human anymore," the Ellimist explained gravely and I was shocked to hear that my brother was back and felt seriously disturbed that he had committed atrocities in another dimension.
"That's not possible...I shot him again and it should've stopped him completely," I pointed out.
"Unfortunately, he somehow came back and is more dangerous than ever so I have an idea who's responsible but there's nothing I can do about it for now and now we come to the reason why I'm here," the Ellimist told me and I nodded.
"You need help to stop my brother and I'm the best option since I appear to be the only one who can make sure he never comes back...I'm sure that this decision you made to get involved has consequences," I stated and the Ellimist frowned.
"A certain old enemy of mine was not pleased in the slightest with my decision, but we came to a compromise where I'll be allowed to place you in our reality where you will change events to ensure that dark and terrible future will never happen, and make it so you'll achieve whatever means you believe will prevent that tragic event and help guide the resistance group to a better future.
However, my enemy will be allowed to set specific events into motion that did not occur in the original timeline, events that could drastically change the course of the war. They will be small at first, but eventually..." the Ellimist trailed off and I hardened my eyes since I knew what he was implying.
"Whatever events that happened originally could alter in such a way that could make things worse or better, but what you're concerned about is that you don't know what might happen because of me and my brother getting involved so I'm going to need knowledge about this version of Earth and any trump cards if I want to have an advantage," I finished and the Ellimist nodded.
"Everything will be taken care of so you'll have nothing to worry about. Do you accept the offer?" the Ellimist asked and I held up a hand.
"Answer me this before I make a decision...what'll happen to my sister? I can't leave her alone in some motel and if you want me to help you, I'm going to need more trump cards than just knowledge of the universe I'm being sent to," I stated and the Ellimist looked thoughtful as he considered telling me what'll happen next.
"Your sister will be safe and cared for while you're busy changing events to prevent your brother's genocide and your age will be regressed into a teenager, as you humans say, to better fit in with the group you'll be fighting alongside with but if you die in my reality..." the Ellimist trailed off and I understood the implications of what he was saying.
"I disappear in this reality and everyone's memories of me are erased from existence," I pointed out, having an idea that this was how the Ellimist and his enemy's war game worked and being in combat taught me a lot about how it was supposed to go.
"Yes, I'm sorry but those are the rules...well, some of them," the Ellimist muttered and I became silent as I contemplated my options, the Ellimist giving me the chance to see another version of Earth and stop my brother while saving lives or getting killed and people forgetting about me.
If I was anyone else, I would've refused but I knew just how much carnage my brother was capable of and I couldn't let him kill so many innocent people who have nothing to do with Armacham and some part of me that managed to find the good in people wanted to help them, if only to right the wrongs my brother, mother, and grandfather had committed throughout the past year during my discovery of my past. It was then that I decided to agree since the guilt would eat me alive if I abandoned 7 billion people to be butchered by my psychotic younger brother.
"Alright, I'll do it so what are these rules and what are the differences in the timeline that you can tell me?" I questioned the Ellimist looked surprised.
"I'm surprised, I didn't think you would agree so quickly since you don't appear to be the one who would just agree to something so fast," the Ellimist pointed out.
"I know the amount of death and horror my brother is capable of and he needs to be stopped before he wipes out all life on your version of Earth, not to mention that he won't stop at one planet once he decides that he wants more bloodshed," I said logically and the Ellimist nodded since I had a point.
"Very well, the rules are simple really but the first thing you need to do is be with the resistance group while they are using a certain construction site as a shortcut, then you will gain a special ability that this group is well known for using against their enemy before helping them in the war with your enhanced reflexes and surgical precision with firearms.
As for the rules, they are simple really. First, you cannot reveal the location of an artifact called the Time Matrix while it's buried at the construction site. Second, while you can tell the group some of their futures, you can't reveal to them their full fates so you cannot warn one of them about what'll happen to her in the future yet. I will have a list of events you cannot tell the group directly," the Ellimist listed and I looked thoughtful.
"That sounds fair since there are probably certain events that are fixed in time and changing them would have serious consequences that'll make things even worse," I guessed and the Ellimist nodded as I asked, "Okay, what else do I need to know?"
"Thirdly, the group is not allowed to read future events in a novel series that's about them but you are allowed to let them read novels whose events have already transpired, so that should be it," the Ellimist replied and I blinked at that.
"Those rules sound simple but I can work with that...this group, what're they called?" I inquired curiously.
"They are called the Animorphs and you will discover why later, though for now, there are several changes you may notice. First off, unlike in your world where it is in the 2020s, it is the 1990s in the Animorphs' world and you will notice that the Animorphs themselves are older than they were in the novel series, much closer to the age you will take and they'll be in high school rather than middle school," the Ellimist explained and I was taken aback by what I just heard.
"So, you're telling me that the Animorphs consists of kids that are barely in their teens during the original timeline...why the change?" I asked in concern since it was shocking to hear that kids that young were involved in a war.
"It's simply the way things are now and neither I nor my enemy Crayak have control over this," the Ellimist answered and I made a face at that.
"Okay, thanks for notifying me ahead of time so how are you going to take me to your version of Earth?" I questioned and the Ellimist simply smiled as the room around me suddenly rippled and changed before my eyes until I was in a bedroom that had white walls and a desk along with a simple bed and dresser while I noticed that Hannah was gone.
"I suppose that answers my question, but where am I now and what happened to my sister?" I asked with a calculating stare and looked at myself in a nearby mirror to see I was 18-years-old again.
"As I said before, your sister will be safe and cared for while you're here and as to where you are, you're in your new home. It is a large house I have constructed where it is close to a valley that'll eventually hold refugees of an alien race and is protected the same way. I intentionally made it blank so you would have room to customize it, though I have taken the liberty of adding some features here you can use for your war against the invaders," the Ellimist explained and I arched a brow at that.
"What do you mean by that?" I wondered and the Ellimist simply chuckled as he gestured to a nearby wall, where a poster of a wolf appeared on a wall.
"You will find out in due time...behind the poster is a large safe, which contains an entire collection of Animorph books and episodes of the TV show on DVD along with your weapons and gear, so be sure to read all of the books and watch the show to ensure that you have deep knowledge about this version of Earth before you get started," the Ellimist instructed as I flicked the fire selector on my handgun to safe and did a brass check.
"I will and thanks," I said as I headed to the dresser and put the gun inside since I wouldn't be needing it right now.
"Your welcome, now my time is up and I must leave so take some time to explore the house before you go since you'll find many surprises here. One more thing, check your bank account because I left you a little something to help you so goodbye," the Ellimist informed me before disappearing in a flash of light and I sighed as I looked around.
"Hannah, I hope you'll be okay...judging by the calendar that's on the wall near the bed, the year is 1996 so I'm going to need something to occupy myself while having free time," I muttered just as a note appeared before me and I read through it after catching it.
'Jeremy, since I know you'll be needing something to do between missions, I took the liberty of setting up a game and movie library in your new home while making sure an indoor shooting range and kill house is added. The game and movie library contains titles and systems that have not been released yet and are in the room next to yours while the kill house and shooting range are in an underground space beneath the house, so enjoy,'
"Thanks, Ellimist," I said gratefully as I knew that I would need to keep my skills sharp during the coming days.
I spent a few minutes exploring the house and the more I saw the interior of the house, the more I felt impressed by what the Ellimist has done with the place since it was like he knew everything I would need to help the Animorphs as best I could in more ways than one. Recalling his advice, I checked how much money I had in my bank account and was more than stunned by what I had discovered.
I had over a trillion dollars in cash in the bank, which was almost the amount of money spent by the Allies in World War II so money would not be a problem for the foreseeable future. However, thanks to the Ellimist, he had taken the liberty of dividing the money into multiple different accounts across the US to avoid any suspicion and made sure I had different permits for many legal firearms so that I wouldn't get in trouble with law enforcement.
Also, I found out that the house itself was large with three stories that had kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms which told me that I could have twenty people live in this house comfortably and I had also found a bunker that had the shooting range with the kill house under my new home while there were massive storerooms stocked with enough food and water for me to survive the aftermath of World War III if it ever happens.
After I had explored the house enough, I went back to my room where I gathered intel on this world by reading the Animorph books and watching the TV show and I was fascinated by these kids having the ability to shapeshift into any animal because of alien technology, though I was still concerned that they were fighting in a war against parasitic life-forms called Yeerks at such a young age and that it had lasting effects on them after the war ended and one of the Animorphs was killed during the final assault against the Yeerks.
Reading all the books and seeing the show reminded me that I was now in an alternate version of Earth where these kids weren't fictional anymore, but actual people who used to have normal lives and were struggling to survive in a hellish situation they were thrown into where they couldn't trust anyone like their families or authority figures while trying to keep their humanity in the process.
I knew that they wouldn't survive when they encounter my brother, which is why I decided to agree with the Ellimist's offer because they needed someone to guide them to a better future and prevent the deaths of Tom and Rachel that occurred during the final assault since Jake and the other Animorphs didn't deserve to go through that, but the open-ending in the final book made me frown since there's no telling what'll happen next after that and it peeved me since I had no idea what I would be walking into when that happens because of it being unknown territory.
Once I was done thinking about what I had learned and grabbed a Glock from the new armory I had found earlier, I located the garage of this place and found a 1993 Ford F-150 pickup while I was glad to have learned how to drive and gotten a license after I was drafted into the US Army. With the help of my new truck, I managed to navigate an old dirt trail out of the woods and back onto a road, using a GPS to get into town without much trouble.
While I was driving through the streets, I kept my eye on the seemingly normal people walking around on the sidewalks and reminded myself that many of them may already be infected and it had me remain on high alert since I didn't know who was a Controller or not but the books and the show helped me figure out who is infected so it would give me an advantage if I encounter any of them.
I drove the truck to the one place I knew I would find the Animorphs today, which was the Mall. According to the first book, this is where all of them were before they headed to the construction site and I hoped to find them before seven o'clock, which is when Elfangor will arrive. After I parked in the parking lot and headed inside the Mall, I spent most of my time pondering on who to locate and concluded that the easiest future Animorph to find would be Tobias.
But, after several minutes of searching, I discovered that I had no idea where he could be and even though I had a general idea of what he looked like thanks to the book covers and the show, it still wasn't much to go by but thankfully I knew that he liked reading so I headed to the bookstore. Fortunately, there were five other people in the bookstore consisting of the shop assistant at the desk, an elderly man looking at classic novels, a young couple in the reference section, and a male kid one year younger than me looking at sci-fi books.
The kid was about average height with unusual shining green eyes, messy dirty blond hair, and a dreamy expression on while he was looking at a Star Wars book. I was almost positive that I had found Tobias, but I had to be sure since I couldn't afford to make any mistakes or bad judgment calls because humanity in this version of Earth is in danger of complete extinction because of my brother's heinous actions.
'Okay, let's gain his trust by starting casual and chatting about his favorite genre,' I thought as I calmly walked up to him and asked, "So, you like science fiction books?"
The kid suddenly snapped out of his daydreaming and looked at me suspiciously before smiling and replied, "Yeah, I love Star Trek, Star Wars, and things like that with aliens in them, which is so cool. What about you?"
"I have a slight interest in them since Sci-Fi has fascinating topics to explore and anything is possible in it if you put your mind to it. Name's Jeremy Roberts, you?" I asked while I stuck my hand out and the kid shook it.
"I'm Tobias and it's nice to meet you, Jeremy," Tobias greeted and I smiled slightly.
I had found who I was looking for and now I needed to stay with him until we find Jake and Marco, then my mission truly begins once the future Animorphs find each other and we head to the construction site where Elfangor will show up but now I needed to ease myself into the group so that they won't have any reason to think I was a threat to them.
"You too, so what's your favorite Sci-Fi book so? I like Star Wars mostly," I said and we started chatting about Sci-Fi in general.
Tobias and I spent a lot of time talking about Sci-Fi and each other, though I had to lie about most of my past and it was odd talking to someone who's supposed to be fictional but I got used to it and it was nice to have a decent conversation with someone for the first time in my life since most people I've encountered either tried to kill me or was too focused on the mission to have a real chat with me.
As we talked, I've introduced him to a few things in Sci-Fi that he didn't even know existed and was interested in it.
"So, this...anime stuff is really good?" Tobias asked as we left the bookstore together, the two of us having bought several books there.
"Yeah, anime has all sorts of genre and I've just recently become fond of mecha anime, like Gundam and Macross so you'd be surprised what you can find once you look hard enough," I replied and Tobias smiled as he nodded, appearing much happier than when I met him.
I knew that the poor kid was always described as lonely with only a few friends, but he was practically beaming that he had a true friend now and I understood how lonely he was since I didn't have any friends growing up and my brother was forced to rely on me until that bastard Harlam put all his attention on him when I was deemed a failure in Project Origin and Paxton's mental state unraveled after our mother contacted him when he was ten.
After leaving the bookstore, we were walking when we encountered two male kids a year younger than me with one of them having long black hair with brown eyes while the other one had brown hair and brown eyes, which told me that they might be Jake and Marco.
"Hey Tobias, who's your new friend?" the kid with long hair asked curiously once we caught up to them.
"Hey, I'm Jeremy," I greeted as I shook his hand.
"Cool, I'm Jake and that's Marco," Jake introduced while Marco waved.
"What's up?" Tobias inquired, quickly changing the subject and Jake shrugged.
"Not much, we're heading home," Jake replied and Marco decided to speak up.
"Out of quarters since "certain people" keep forgetting that the fucking Sleaze Troll shows up right after you cross the Nether Fjord, so "certain people" keep losing the damn game and losing the damn quarter," Marco commented as he gestured at Jake with his thumb, just in case we couldn't figure out who he meant by certain people.
"So, maybe we'll walk home with you guys," Tobias offered and Jake nodded.
"Sure, why not?" Jake said and I shrugged.
"I'm good with it," I agreed and as we continued walking, the four of us talked about each other while I lied about my past again but nothing too major and I was mostly truthful when I said things like how I arrived in town a while ago and other things like that.
As we kept walking, we came across two girls that were close to Jake's age as one of them had long blonde hair, blue eyes, and looked like she was a model from a fashion magazine while the other one had dark skin and her hair was really short as she looked like she belonged on a farm than a mall, then I instantly recognized them as Cassie and Rachel while we approached them.
"You guys going home? You shouldn't go through the construction site by yourselves, being girls and all I mean," Jake stated and Rachel shot him a glare for his sexist comment.
"I'm sorry, asshole, are you going to come and protect us, you big strong m-a-a-an? You think we're helpless just because-" Rachel started to retort and was cut off.
"I'd appreciate it if they did walk with us and I know you're not afraid of anything, Rachel, but I guess I am," Cassie admitted suddenly and Rachel rolled her eyes before looking at Tobias and noticed me standing next to him.
"Who's that? Friend of yours, Tobias?" Rachel inquired and Tobias scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"We just met, actually, but yeah...he's a friend," Tobias confirmed and I held out a hand as I approached the two girls.
"Name's Jeremy, nice to meet you," I said while Rachel and Cassie each shook my hand and I had felt successful that I found all five founders of the Animorphs except for Ax.
"Nice to meet you, Jeremy, my name's Cassie and this is my friend Rachel," Cassie introduced and I nodded.
"Nice to meet you too," I said while I was appearing casual.
"Yeah, so are we going through this thing or not?" Rachel questioned and we all decided to take the shortcut through the construction yard.
And just like that, it was just the six of us walking through the construction site and to anyone else, we would've looked like your ordinary group of teenagers but I knew differently and I knew what would happen in just a few minutes. That's when we cut through the construction site and I subtly scanned the night sky while making sure not to look suspicious and that's when I saw it.
"What the hell?" Tobias muttered and it caused Jake to look at him.
"What is it?" Jake asked in confusion while Tobias was staring up at the sky like I am.
"Just look...the fuck is that?" Tobias questioned while he was looking astonished and unsettled at the same time.
Jake obliged by looking up and there it was, a brilliant bluish-white light moving across the sky faster than an airplane at first but then it started to slow down while we all watched the strange phenomenon.
"What the fuck is that?" Jake wondered in confusion and Tobias shook his head.
"Damned if I know," Tobias replied while I was staring at the light and knew that Elfangor was here as the light lowered from the sky and Cassie gasped in shock once we got a good look at it after it got closer to the construction site.
"Oh my God, it's a fucking spaceship!" Cassie exclaimed in alarm as the ship in question landed a few feet in front of us and the others tensed up while I was preparing for the first and final encounter with Elfangor.
A/N I know what you're thinking, why am I starting a new story when I have many others to focus on? The truth is that when I get an idea for a new story, it stays in my head and I'm unable to work on my other stories until I start writing it down.
Anyway, you already know by now that this is an Animorphs/FEAR crossover and I loved the books growing up, but I had recently discovered them again and I wondered what would happen if the Animorphs had an enhanced super-soldier as one of their members and the Point-man from FEAR came to mind, so I got started on this crossover.
As for Point-man, the only reason why he would ever accept the Ellimist's offer is that the thought of Paxton Fettel still being around and being responsible for a very dark and horrific future in an alternate version of Earth is enough for him to agree but he still has his reservations for now so don't worry if you think he agreed too eagerly.
I hope you all like the chapter and what do you think of Jeremy not having the two-hour time limit? I think that because of the genetic experiments he went through as a kid and having altered DNA, the Morphing Cube would have a different effect on him than the other Animorphs and it would be very advantageous to Jeremy if he can stay in a morph whenever he wants and change back without any problems.
One more thing, I'm going to be putting most of my stories on hiatus for the foreseeable future since I have too many of them and I need to focus on stories that I gain motivation to work on so sorry if you're all unhappy about that.
Let me know what you think about the concept of Jeremy not having the two-hour time limit because of his altered genetics and stay tuned.
