Chapter 12
The place lights up to reveal the Animorphs getting into space suits. The scene changes to show Mission Control where, I am sitting in a seat in the middle of the room. Vendetta is sitting at a big control panel with Skittles. They both have headphones-microphones on their heads. AnimorFan is outside putting fuel into a big rocket.
Me: Good Evening, readers. Today you will witness the first ever rocket launch in AnimorphLand as I have chosen to call my world. Vendetta walks by me with some papers in hand. Vendetta, please tell me that's not my contract.
Vendetta: Don't worry AniLuver. These are just the papers that I "forgot" to give the Animorphs to sign.
Me: Oh you mean the, 'please sign this if you are in agreement with the test run that is about to take place'? Okay, cause they don't have a choice, do they.
Vendetta: Nope. Muahahahahahahaha!
Me: Muahahahahahahaha!
AnimorFan over the intercom: Yo, AniLuver, the rocket's all ready to go.
Me over intercom: Rightey O, AnimorFan. All Animorphs are required at the launch pad. NOW! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! The Animorphs assemble in front of me and Vendetta, each with his/her helmet under their left arm.
Now my dear characters, today is the day we have trained you for the last five hours. I am surprised and pleased that you made progress. But I believe that I must warn you. Strange things are in space, and you must always be on your guard. I thank you guys for volunteering to go on this monumental mission. Now you may go to your stations on the rocket. God go with you all. The Animorphs walks to the rocket in slow-mo put on their helmets and buckle their seat belts. This is the conversation going on between them.
Marco: Dude! Jake, why did we volunteer? I don't even remember volunteering!
Cassie: Marco, we didn't volunteer. Remember? She threatened to have Taylor and her sister torture us if we didn't do this.
Ax: I think that we should stay in space to get away from that rufgaen!
Jake: Ax? What's a rufgaen?
Ax: In my language it means demon or a creepy person who enjoys the pain of others.
Tobias: In her case she fits both descriptions.
Rachel: Let's Do This! Wahoo!
Cassie: Of course you would get a kick out of this, Rachel.
We go back to Mission Control where Skittles is counting down in a VERY deep voice.
Skittles: Ignition in Five… Four… Three… Two…- Marco Comes in over the intercom,
WAIT!! I forgot to go to the bathroom! My Mom always says to go to the bathroom before a looooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg trip!
AnimorFan: Oh, FOR PETE'S SAKE!
Jake: Who's Pete?
AnimorFan: Just this guy that tried to date Skittles. He didn't live long… he heh heh.
Cassie: Marco, you better be on your guard.
Marco: you mean that beautiful maiden is deadly as well?
Skittles: You bet I am!
Marco: Awesome! I like a girl that I don't need to protect.
Everyone Else: O_O
Me: Wow… well, moving on! Skittles you may begin countdown.
AnimorFan in a high squeaky voice: Ten… nine… eight… seven- chokes. I throw him in a space suit and buckle him in the rocket with the Animorphs, all while he's unconscious.
Vendetta: I think Skittles you can start. But start at like three.
Skittles: Okay. Five… Four… Three… Two… One… Ignition!
The rocket bursts up into space.
Me: Now ladies, gentlemen, and kids of all ages. When the chapter is over we shall check up on our dear astronauts.
Vendetta will you do my disclaimer for me? I have a head ache.
Vendetta: AniLuver has just sent our wonderful characters into space even though she doesn't own them. She is working on getting the papers to K.A.A. (If she is still alive, I need to look that up.) She also does not own Lunchables.
Me on the phone: Yes, I need the best lawyer you have. What's the reason?!? I NEED A LAWYER TO HELP ME OWN THE ANIMORPHS YOU IDIOT! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THAT???
*click* Oh my gosh! She hung up on me! Erg!
V3's POV
*Host-talking is in italics. Visser One's (when he's talking to his host) is bold and underlined*
"—YOU INCOMPETENT FOOL! THIS IS UNEXCEPTABLE! YOU EXPECT ME TO SLEEP HERE?!?"
"Y-yes sir. Ss-sorry Visser One, this is the room that…" He trailed off.
"WELL? WHO ARRANGED THE PLACE I AM TO SLEEP?? TELL ME NOW OR I WILL…" Stupid, stupid, stupid! I thought to myself. You no longer have a tail-blade. Now you seem just like that stuttering worthless slug. (Yes he called a Yeerk a slug.)
Visser One? Why don't you feed him to the Taxxons?
Brilliant!
You are the smartest host I have ever had,Even if he
strikes so little fear in appearance. "OR
I WILL FEED YOU TO THE TAXXONS. I am sure they are hungry." The
controller ran of in pursuit of who knows who or what.
Even that
Andalite host… whatever his name was, was not smarter than you. He
knew what Alloran's name was he just wanted to act like he didn't
care enough to try. As this was going on, the "worthless
controller' was coming back with Hannah in tow, gasping and choking
from his unaccustomed exercise he spoke to Visser, "Here is the one
whom you must request. She is the one who arranged for your sleeping
quarters. I am not to blame, Visser One." Without a second glance
at the trembling man, V1 stepped in front of Hannah/ Reddin. They
didn't even flinch when he bellowed, "HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO
SLEEP IN HERE!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF ROOM A RESPECTED BEING
SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH!!!
Hannah's POV (For A little while)
-Hey Reddin?
-What?
-Can I take over?
-WHAT! NO! You could get us killed!
-All I wanted to say was that we could have gotten a better place if we had the stuff we need, or I could say THIS ISN'T THE BLADE SHIP! THIS ISN'T A HOTEL! SO SUCK IT UP SLUG-BRAIN!
-That is exactly why I cannot let you speak to him.
-Fine. I went and sulked in my little corner that was mine as Reddin talked rationally to V1. She may have been talking calmly and rationally but I could tell she was frustrated and mad at the so-called 'leader'. He was acting like a five-year-old whose mommy won't get him a Lunchable. She even basically said the same stuff I did, but in a nicer way. Well I was tired and so I mentally rolled over and fell "asleep."
Back to V1's POV
Well, I guess it can not be helped. BUT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS! LEAVE ME ALONE SO THAT I MAY THINK!!!!!! So she left, and a good thing because as soon as she left I sat down on the "bed" and thought.
After two hours, I screamed, "REDDIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She came running, "Visser! Are you alright?"
"Yes! But I have a plan! It came to me as I was sleeping. I dreamt up a brilliant plan!"
"A plan for what, Visser?" I got up and raised my hand to strike her, but thought better of it. After all she is only an idiot. Instead I grabbed her and shook her hard. "A PLAN TO CATCH THE ANIMORPHS!!! MWUAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA!
Me: And now we are just about to check up on our brave Animorphs, and AnimorFan. Skittles, give me sight and sound!
Skittles: Picture on-screen, Sound on the loud speakers.
Jake: Yes?
AnimorFan muffled: They're listening to us.
Jake: What are you a telepathic person?
AnimorFan: Maybe. Hey, Jake why don't you talk to them.
Jake: Okay, ummm… AniLuver?
Me: Yes, Jakey-Wakey? A scared look crossed Jake's face. I looked at Cassie's cam; she was glaring at me, well more like at the camera. Yes, I know what Cassie calls you, and because I do I can blackmail you. Skittles and Vendetta are giving me a sign, crossing their hand in front of their throat (which by the way have a sore one in real life. I would give you my address so you guys could send me get well cards and flowers but I can't. The world is a horrible place and I can't give out any personal info) Oh, are we still broadcasting? They nod their heads, Oops! Hehehe, so anyway. How is your space trip? Nobody space-sick I hope. Throwing up is heard in the background. Is that Rachel or Tobias?
Jake: Both, now we did your stupid mission can we go home?
Me: Sure, Vendetta hit the go home button. Now Jakey-Wakey hitting the go home button sets the rocket on auto drive, which means you can't stop it.
Jake: I understand that, thank you very much.
Me: Okay, hit it Vendetta. She hits it hard and gets the button stuck.
Male Computer Voice (MCV): Target found, Visser Three's Blade Ship. Setting course now. Thank you for using this setting on your rocket.
Ax: WHAT!!
Marco: Now why did they use a male's voice instead of a female's?
Cassie: Did he just say The Blade Ship?!?
Jake: Ax! See if you can reverse it. AniLuver, WHAT DID YOU DO?
Me: Hey! Vendetta pressed the button, and I did warn you that it was permanent, not even an Andalite can crack that thing.
MCV: Auto pilot breached, target changed. New target: AnimorphLand.
Marco: Hey, Ax…………
FCV: Voice change, new voice; Female Setting.
Jake: You've got to be kidding me. Slap!
Marco: OW! What was that for?
Cassie: you just had to have that changed didn't you?
Marco: That doesn't deserve a Gibb Slap!
Slap! Slap! Fwap! Marco slumps forward.
Jake: Uh… Ax?
Ax: Yes, Prince Jake?
Cassie: You knocked Marco out.
Ax: Oops. Rachel walks in from the bathroom.
Rachel: Well, personally I like it. Now we don't have to listen to his lame "jokes" and complaints.
Cassie: AND his singing.
Jake: You know this is my best friend you guys are talking about. Tobias joins the group.
Tobias: Yeah but you won't do anything about it. :)
Jake: Touché.
Skittles: AniLuver, we need to rap this up.
Me: Okay, Thank you for tuning into ALNEWS on channel 1.
A/N: So AnimorphLand I have a problem. I AM MOVING! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
This means I don't know when I can update next, I do get two weeks off of school! (But I have to use it to pack. Bleh, I hate packing and cleaning as much as I hate Math.)
So, *sniffs* I need to keep it together. Come on, AniLuver keep it together, you can't cry. WAAAAAAAAAA!!! WAAAAA!! I love you guys and I'm gonna miss you guys. Send me plenty of notes please. Just talk to me! I need your support as I go through this teenage crisis. So press the button, go on you know you wanna. At least say goodbye, for now.
