CHAPTER FIVE

Still in the food court, a note appeared to Rachel this time:

"Rach,

Luna and Anatolius, or Loren and Alan over there, are all in danger. Luna and Anatolius die here; sometime Loren and Alan will die of the same cause but without a person who did it. And we can't promise that they will have more than a few years to live unless we all get out. But, according to what Luna says they have to do so they can leave may still get Loren and Alan dead.

Wish us luck,

Rachel "2" B."

"OK, whoever is doing this better stop. How can there be two of me?" Rachel muttered.

"The black hole." Aximili realized. "We thought they were joking but they're telling the truth."

Kylin, Rachel, Marco and Jake looked at him confused. Only Cassie seemed to understand.

"The story Tobias and Lyzah said. The one about us and our counterparts being stuck in a black hole, Lyzah, her counterpart and Marco's counterpart all being Controllers, it's all true." Cassie said.

"Have you two gone out of your minds? No offense, but that story CANNOT be true." Marco stated.

"But it is. I have proof." A female voice replied.

They turned and saw...

"Aling, you're disappearing!" Marco2 yelped.

Aling looked at her hands and started to see right through it. ((I don't know how!)) She tried to hold her left hand in her right- it worked for the first few seconds but then her right hand fell through her left. ((Oh god!))

"Y-y-you're m-m-morphing!" Jerome stammered.

Jerome was right. A.L.R. was morphing into a human female that was in her thirties.

"What in the world is going on?!" A.L.R. was freaking out. "Whoever is doing this, stop it!"

Sorry, can't stop it until you're fully morphed and over where Lyzah is. A cold, evil voice belonging to their captor said.

"Have you two gone out of your minds? No offense, but that story CANNOT be true." Marco1's voice stated, coming from the other universe.

"But it is. I have proof." A.L.R. replied, no longer in control of herself. 'No! No, no, no, no... Not again... Please...' She thought.

((Sorry, Aling, but, I'm back.)) Alar 946 laughed.

-/-/-/-/-

"Who are you?" Rachel demanded. "What do you want?"

"My name is Aling-Lunyu-Ranyang. AKA, A.L.R." Alar replied, using Aling's voice. "I just want to help."

((No! Don't listen to him! He's not telling the truth!)) Aling cried, unheard by anyone besides Alar.

Alar laughed at her. ((Don't listen to him, he's not telling the truth!)) He mocked. ((Ha. Stupid Andalite. They can't hear you; therefore, they won't listen to you.))

"They may not be able to hear her, Yeerk, but they can hear me." Another female walked up from behind Aling/Alar.

Alar turned Aling's body. He scowled.

Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Marco, Aximili and Kylin gasped/gaped- especially Rachel (1).

Who they all saw was Rachel... er, #2...

-/-/-/-/-

"Tobias, what's happening?!" Rachel2 cried, surprised.

"You're fading!" Was all Tobias2 could say.

"I can see that! What I want to know iswho is doing this to me and why!" Rachel replied.

"I don't know!" Tobias2 said. He tried to grab her hand before she disappeared completely but his hand went through hers.

"Well, this is certainly better than watching Luna and Anatolius get murdered... Not!" Rachel2 muttered. Then, without her wanting, "They may not be able to hear her, Yeerk, but they can hear me."

"What?!" Tobias2 was confused at the last part as he continued to try to grab Rachel2.

Rachel2 tried to grab Tobias2, desperately, one last time before she disappeared.

-/-/-/-/-

"OK, who are you and why do you look exactly like me?" Rachel1 demanded.

"That's because I'm you. That note that you just got; the one signed "Rachel '2' B." That was me. And this,"- Rachel2 pointed at Aling/Alar-"is a Yeerk who has taken over my friend."

((Listen to her!)) Aling pleaded.

Alar rolled Aling's eyes. "Don't you know that there aren't any Yeerks left on Earth?"

"There are still a few left- ignoring the ones in the Yeerk Peace Movement." Marco stated. "Lyz's older sister still fights those when she can."

((Oh please, just listen to her!)) Aling wanted to cry but she couldn't. ((She's telling the truth!))

((Shut up!)) Alar yelled at her.

Then Aling trying something. ((It's the truth! There's a Yeerk in my head! I don't know how you can hear me if you can, but please, listen to her! I'll explain what's going on later!)) She tried in thought-speak.

"What the-?" Jake began. He stared at Aling/Alar. "That's it. Where can we put her until the Yeerk dies?"

((No! You fool!)) Alar yelled at Aling. ((How did you use thought-speak? You aren't supposed to be able to do that!))

Aling laughed at Alar. ((Don't ask me. You said I'm stupid so I don't know what happened.))

((UGH!))

"A black hole may work. Or maybe we can get the Stsimille to watch them." Rachel2 suggested.

"We can't just make a black hole appear out of nowhere! And who in the world are-" Marco was saying.

YOU ASKED FOR US?

"Yeah. Can you watch Aling until Alar is dead?" Rachel2 wondered.

OR WE COULD JUST MAKE IT SO ALAR HASN'T HAD KANDRONA RAYS FOR ABOUT THREE DAYS NOW.

"That'll work." Rachel2 smiled.

"NO!" Alar shouted. "NEVER!"

((Who cares what you think? You'll be dead in a matter of minutes.)) Aling stated.

Anatolius and Luna saw their mother disappear from a distance. Their father was gaping in shock, staring at the place where his wife had stood just seconds before. They had no idea what happened but they knew one thing- the Animorphs with them were beginning to disappear, one by one.
