Section 2
Chapter 1
A week later we had gotten battle morphs for all that were at the meeting and stealth morphs for the majority.
We were ready to take on the Yeerks with all our might.
We all knew the plan, we were going to storm the Yeerk pool. Our objective, Capture Visser 7. As far as we knew Visser 7 inhabited a Hork-Bajir body. We hoped to be able to tie him to a tree in the Hork-Bajir valley, how we'd get him there was still a mystery.
The plan called for all the Animorphs to storm the pool from different places, one being the local McDonalds, another a self storage rental area, yet another being a school, not the one any of us went to. (the yeerks learned their lesson on that on our first battle) And many other places.Three people were to stay behind and patrol our houses and the Efiscal Device. We could take no chances.
My battalion met up, it was comprised of fifteen people, not including me, i was a lieutenant in this war now, along with the other original Animorphs. Ax was a rank above me (general) and Jake was The Leader.
We walked to the storage area and morphed our battle morphs. Our area was fairly easy, others would have to morph in public areas, meaning, for some in our army it would be very hard to not be seen.
We were morphed and ready. There were two lions, three rhinoceros, two elephants, four tigers, three wolves, and one jaguar. I had morphed Ax, who I had acquired a while ago. I could feel the power of the tail and i loved it.
-Ok- I said -one of you big guys, ram the door.-
Chapter 2
Total chaos.
That's what we walked into.
Turns out we were the second to last battalion to breech The Pool. There were animals and aliens everywhere ripping out throats, slashing at chests and other things which I won't tell you about, sorry but I'm not gonna be responsible for any nightmares or something.
A grizzly bear was clawing a Hork-Bajir, a wolf was running down Hork-Bajir while elephants and rhinos trampled them. Dracon beams were flying. A gorilla was punching out a Taxxon. Everything was going our way, until-
PSSSSSEEEEWWWW
PSSSSSEEEEWWWW
Two gorillas, of the same battalion, had picked up Dracons and started firing at fellow animorphs.
-SHIT!!!!- yelled Jake, Rachel and(surprisingly) Cassie.
-Oh, now please, don't be that way, I would think you'd be happy to see me again- said a horrible voice -I think Crayak was happy when he found me again, of course, I'm happy he did too. You know, I'm surprised you tried this again.-
That was enough to give me the answer. I, and likely the others, had thought it, but this was the proof. 'You tried this again'
That was the stupid piece of crap that had betrayed us and been trapped. He had tried to trap Rachel, same as him. Now He was back. This was our biggest mistake, this was what had almost doomed Earth by trying to kill off its warriors.
This was David.
Chapter 3
-DAVID- screamed Rachel -DAVID, how did you get back here you little worm! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!!-
-Oh please Rachel. Can't you guess? It's the same being as last time.-
And then I knew, not only when he mentioned "last time," but the fact that he reefered to it as 'the same being" not the same person, but being. We were talking about Crayak. The Anti-Ellimist you could say.
-Yes, i thought you might figure it out now, it was Crayak again. He gave me my morphing power AND made human my normal form again, also I can now speak in thought speak whenever i want to. He also helped me plan something I've wanted to do for a long time.-
What could that be, I wondered. Just then...
-Everyone, everyone!!!- It was Jake. -Hey guys!! The Efiscal Device, The Cube! It's gone!!
Yet again more swearing, this time not from Cassie... then again, were was Cassie?
We had planned it out before so that we could tell the original Animorphs from the Auxilery. We would be wearing a red band on our body. Cassie, with her wolf morph was no were to be seen, that was something to worry about among all the other things to worry about.
David back, how? why?, Rachel didn't kill him last time. We couldn't be sure where he was right now due to the fact that he could use thought-speak in human form. Damn!!
-Hey Tobias-
A rhinoceros plowed right into my side, his horn going right through my front left leg, right at the thigh.
-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH- i screamed in extreme pain.
-Tobias??Tobias!!-screamed Rachel -DAVID WHERE ARE YOU!!!!-
I was loosing blood at a rate i was uncomfortable with. David stood over me with his gray wrinkled skin and said,-Goodbye Tobias.-
He raised himself up onto his hind legs to crush my skull but then-
ROWOWOWOWOWR!!!
That would be Jake, as a Tiger-
HHHUUUUUUUU!!!!
And That would be Marco, as a Gorilla.
Marco slammed his fist into David so hard I'm sure that it hurt (Marco that is)
Jake leaped onto David's back and started thrashing away, not that that would help much, but Marco's beating was doing the job. For now at least.
I looked up and Marco said -It's gonna be okay bud-
It's gonna be okay
For now...
Chapter 4 JAKE
Tobias was out. I wasn't doing too well myself either.
David was back!!! And i was fighting a full grown rhino!!! Rachel would be over here in a few seconds to knock him out but she was fighting a battalion of Hork-Bajir.
I did the only thing I could at this point.
-Retreat!!! Retreat!!!Retreat!!!-
It didn't have to be an immediate run-away but we needed to do it soon.
Although we had enough in numbers to kill David, that would mean leaving too many of our own helpless.
Sometimes i really hated being the leader.
Chapter 5
We ran, we ran FAST. When we regrouped we were exhausted, the mission had taken an hour and forty-five minutes.
Everyone was alive. What a relief.
David had the Efiscal device though! That was BAD!
David had tried to kill Tobias and we had thought he'd succeeded. He'd killed my cousin Saddler to get what he thought would be a new family.
This was it though. If it came to it, David would have to die.
I took role and saw that about a third of the Auxilery was gone along with an important member of the group, our peacemaker, my..., Cassie was gone and the realization hit me like a wooden bat. She was either dead, or worse.
