Lex woke up confused in an unfamiliar bed. She was sweaty and naked underneath the sheets. Her unbraided hair was in her face. What happened? Makawee was fully dressed with her hair perfectly braided as usual. "It is about time. You need to be ready for when the other wives arrive," she said sternly.
"Did we?" Lex wondered.
"Have sexual congress? Yes, you were quite submissive. It must be a human quality," Makawee said.
Lex felt dumbfounded like she had woken up after getting passed out drunk. "I don't remember very much," she admitted.
"I will send a recording to your room," Makawee said impatiently.
"Recording?" Lex wondered.
"The Prince possesses hundreds of recordings of his sexual exploits for the purposes of research and enjoyment," Makawee said.
"I think I'll pass," Lex grumbled.
Lex exited the bedroom and entered another room still within Makawee's wing of the palace. Makawee's servants immediately went to work to bathe her, dress her, and braid her hair correctly.
As usual, Lex was the last to come to the gathering of the wives. Talutah had came back from her vacation, which generated a degree of envy from the others. "We are united as a family again," the Prince said from this throne.
"Are there any requests?" the Prince asked the group of females.
Each wife gave a request composing a list of the following: a garden for the backyard of the palace, clothes, mechanic tools, new additions to the library, and additional rooms for future children. When it came to Lex her request was the oddest. "I want an android. An android that looks human," she said.
"Why?" the Prince asked relaxed.
"I can't practice my fighting skills on real humans, so this is the best option," Lex said.
The Prince knew she was lying but didn't know her true motivation. "Androids are no longer built in factories as before. The parts will have to be sent here and put together," the Prince explained. "My fourth wife, would you be interested in such a project?" the Prince asked.
"For a price," she said.
"What do you want from me?" the Prince asked.
"Not from you my Prince but from her," Urikia said.
"Very well. You may give her terms," the Prince said.
Lex gave her an odd look wondering what Urikia wanted from her. "I require that my personal armor be ready for this evening," the Prince said to Urikia.
"As you wish my Prince," she replied.
As soon as the meeting was over, Lex spent most of the day watching over Naira. Slowly the room was changing the atmospheric conditions towards Yautja Prime. Naira was still struggling to adapt to it but everyday there was progress. Lex also found herself able to stay in the room for longer periods of time before requiring a mask or ventilator. The Prince would occasionally enter the room to see if there were any improvements.
"I have assigned you a university in the capital. Your class will be composed of elites," the Prince said.
"I have already gone to school," Lex said annoyed referring to her bachelor's degree.
The Prince chuckled. "You will find that your education has only begun. Your use of language and writing is still poor," the Prince chided.
"Why does it matter? It's not like I have an actual job here," Lex asked.
"We must be an example for others and you will need to teach the child everything she needs to know. Her brain will develop slower than her other classmates. Her education will be difficult," the Prince said.
"Fine, when do they start and what do I need?" Lex asked.
The Prince handed her a datapad. "Everything you need is on this list. It will be provided for you at the school," the Prince said.
That evening the King sat on his throne with his staff in his hand as if waiting for something. The air fizzled as the Prince emerged out of cloak. The King's guard were on the floor injured and unconscious. The Prince's armor was undamaged with not a speck of blood on him. He whirled his staff and then hit the floor before his father. The King likewise pounded his staff recognizing his son. The Prince then knelt before the King and took off his mask.
"Well then. You meet all expectations," the King said. "Now, come."
The Prince got back on his feet and slowly removed his weapons in ceremonial fashion. The weapons dropped to the floor until the Prince was only armed with his staff and wrist blades. The King advanced on the Prince with his own staff. He was taller and bigger than the Prince, but he was also older. The Prince readied his staff and the two circled each other. After extending their mandibles to each other the two clashed with their staffs. The Prince immediately put his father on the defensive with quick jabs. The King's strong thrusts were too slow as the Prince moved his body fluidly. The Prince sliced into the King sending green droplets to the floor. The King became frustrated as he tried to corner the Prince. The King's staff flew out of his hand as the Prince expertly twirled it away. After disarming his father, the Prince threw away his own staff and extended his blades.
The two got close entangling their wrist blades. The two griped each others hands in a wrestling form with each trying to over power the other. The Prince took on a perfect form refusing to budge as his father put all of his strength against him. The Prince then slowly lowered his legs as he buckled under the strain. The King's wrist blades became closer to the Prince's neck and chest as he went down. Finally the Prince was on his knees with the King standing above him. Before the King's wrist blades could slice into the Prince's neck and chest the King withdrew.
The Prince retracted his blades as the fatigued King sat back on his throne. The Prince had no injuries on him but remained fallen. "Father's skills are unmatched," the Prince complimented.
The King knew the Prince lost on purpose to save his honor. The younger Prince had proved himself a powerful warrior and expert with technology. It was a pity the Prince was not his first son and heir. However, despite his powers the Prince was not suited for the crown according to the King. He only had seven wives, which was odd. He married a human female and had a hybrid child with her. He had little interest in court politics and how to deal with the meritocracy.
"As long as I am King, the Earth shall not be harmed. But you are forbidden from giving them technology. They must evolve on their own. If they destroy themselves we will then colonize the planet," the King said.
"As you wish," the Prince replied.
"Remember this my son, what I do not give you...you must never take by force," the King said.
"I shall remember," the Prince replied.
The Prince then stood up and placed his armor and plasma cannons back on his shoulders. He placed his mask in one hand and his staff in the other. Turning around he walked past the fallen guards as he exited.
Lex became Urikia's slave in the garage as they worked on building an android from scrap parts. Urikia examined a human skull to see how she would create a human looking head. "I had to purchase a female Yautja android fighter, which is rare to find," Urikia said as she examined the parts.
Lex brought a human looking robotic arm to Urikia. She took the arm and began working to connect it to the shoulder. "You are a better assistant than I would have imagined," Urikia complimented.
"You are a better teacher than I imagined," Lex replied.
Once the arm was put into place the two looked at the android's skeleton. It was as tall as Lex at six feet, which was a good height for a human male. "Just looking at it makes me want to kill it," Urikia remarked.
Lex grimaced. "What do you want it for?" Urikia asked curiously.
"Just a reminder of home," Lex said.
"I am a mechanic, not a psychiatrist but I think it is best if you leave humanity behind," Urikia said as she cleaned her hands of grease.
"You said you wanted something in return. What is your price?" Lex asked changing the subject.
"It gets lonely here in the garage. I was hoping you could fix that," Urikia said advancing towards her. "Our clothes are dirty. You will need to take them off before exiting the garage," Urikia said.
"Shouldn't we take a shower first. My skin has oil, dirt, and grease on it," Lex excused herself.
"The more the better," Urikia said as her clothes fell off her body.
A Yautja scout ship in cloak moved through an armada of ships orbiting the planet and landed down on its surface. A lone Yautja warrior walked on the blue grass and looked around through his mask. The sky was reddish orange, the trees were bluish, and the terrain was seemingly flat with some hills. The Yautja cloaked himself and continued his hunt.
In the distance the prey was alone. Standing at six feet, the alien walked on four deer like legs covered in blue fur, a long flexible tail with a sharp blade at the end, a humanoid torso, shoulders and human looking arms, a humanoid head that lacked a jaw, deer like ears, green eyes, a flat looking nose with four nostrils, and two tentacled green eyes on the top of his head that went back and forth scanning in all directions. The creature appeared similar to a centaur of human legend with a scorpion like tail.
The creature ran quickly across the fields of blue grass and stopped to look around. Within a flash the muscles in its tail fired swinging its tail across the air. The speed was faster than the eye could track. The Yautja's cloak disengaged as it was hit and green blood fell on the blue grass. The Yautja was cut deep to the chest.
"I can see ultra-violet with my eyes. You cannot hide from me," the creature said.
The Yautja clicked angrily and then started to chuckle at his prey. Three red beams were on the creature's forehead. The creature was armed as well with a pistol. The two didn't move until finally the creature threw his pistol aside. The Yautja turned off his targeting red dots and then discarded his plasma cannon on the ground. He extended his blades ready for a fight.
"You are of the Yautja. I can read your murderous thoughts," the creature said through telepathy for it had no mouth.
The Yautja simply extended his mandibles and roared at the Andalite in intimidating fashion. The two circled each other slowly. "If you proceed you will die," the Andalite said.
The Yautja ignored the warning and moved in closer with his blades. The Andalite swung its tail faster than the Yautja could track slicing off his right arm. The Yautja quickly moved towards the Andalite with his remaining left arm. There was a snap in the air as the Andalite's tail went through the Yautja's neck. There was a pause and then the Yautja collapsed on his knees and then finally his head came off.
Author's Note: For fans of the Animorph series I hope you like this little cross over. If you have no idea about the Animorph series the next chapters will explain in detail what is going on. In case you want a visual google image Andalite, Hork Bajir, Taxxon, and Yerk. While I am using the creatures and perhaps some of the alien characters I will not remain faithful to the Animorph storyline
For those wanting a lemon I totally understand but I also don't want to get chapters banned either. You'll just have to use your imagination.
