"The Ani-Hero, Pt. 02."
My name is Kimberly, & I've been through the weirdest couple of days of my life, & I'm a oddball?! Long story short, I've moved to a new town, ran into some old friends, make some new friends, save an alien centaur, fought an female-albino-alien-blind-dog, & finally, turn into the alien-blind-dog.

The following morning from my 'transformation', I had the idea to give my new-found ability a little field test. I got Clip, focused on her, & gently petted her -- she went into a trance, just like the alien-blind-dog.

I remembered how I did my 'transformation', & then I used it to help me turn into Clip. "(It worked! I did it!)"

Then I picked up a scent, it was the centaur! He had been in my front yard, but for a moment, I wondered why. I tracked it, a half-hour later, it led to a barn, where Jake & the others were. "So, Marco?! What did you want to talk to us about?!" I heard him ask as I peered inside.

"Well, I was walking home from the park, you know, after a harsh day of dealing with rejections....." I smiled, I mean, wagged my tail; same old Marco. ".....When I ran into this guy."

"You brought us down here to tell us that you ran into some guy?!"

"I know, Rach, it sounds pretty dumb, huh?! Or it would, if he wasn't carring the morphing cube. You know, the little blue box that Elfangor used to give us the power to morph?!"

"What?!" they all screamed at once.

"(Are you sure?)" the centaur asked, coming out of his hiding spot in the barm. I was impressed!

"(There he is.)" I 'said' to myself as I then realized something. "(Waitaminute?! Blue box?! Oh no, David!)" I then 'morphed' back into me, & ran off to warn David.


Meanwhile, back at home.....
"Miss Kimberly?! Something wrong?!"

"No time to explain! Where's David?"

"He just left a few minutes ago." Uncle Sampson replied as he went on with his dusting. "I distinctly recall him taking some sort of cube with him."

"Was it blue?"

"Why, yes."

"Did he say where he was going?"

"Something about heading off to some construction site?!"

"Thanks, Uncle Sampson!!"


"(David?! Where are you?)" I said to myself while in my alien-blind-dog 'morph', sniffing around for my brother's scent. As I was tracking him, I picked up a scent, but it wasn't David's -- it was the alien centaur! I 'morphed' back into me, & looked around, but all I saw was Marco & Ax. "(What are they doing here?)"

"I'm so cold, it almost, al-mo-st, almost feels like I'm frezzing, fre-zz-ing, frezzing here. How do you humans stand such cold temperatures, tem-per-at-ure-s, temperatures?"

"Well, why don't you morph!?"

"What if an Controller sees me?!"

"I watch for them for you, O.K.?!"

"O.K. then." I watched in shock as he grew blue fur, an extra set of legs, an extra set of eyes, & a bladed-tail. He was the alien centaur! I backed up in shock as I realized that he had lied to me, knocking over some nearby boxes, accidently alerting the two. "(What was that!? ANYONE THERE?!?! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!!)"

"HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME, AX!?!? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND?!?!"

"(Kim?!)" I was so angry at him, I think to watch my back, especially since there were several men, standing at least 50 feet above me, armed with highly advanced weapons of an alien culture, & all aimed at me. "(LOOK OUT?!?!)" he mentally screamed at me as he pushed me out of the way while they all blasted at once.


"Kim?!" I could hear David calling for me in the distance, but I didn't care anymore. & he was the reason I came in the first place, all I could think about was Ax.

"Ax, what were you doing?" I said as I tapped him on his shoulder, but all he did was point up at something. I turned around to see what it was. "Who are those guys?"

"(Controllers.)" Ax weakly said as he lost his balance, only for me to catch him in my arms.

"Controllers?! Who or what are the Controllers?" I said as I then saw a mount of red ooze drip out of Ax's side. I got a closer look at it & realized something: it wasn't ooze, it was blood. "You're bleeding You.....hurt yourself trying to save me." I then removed my jacket & wrapped it around his wound, as Marco Polo had put some piece of cloth on it to soak up the the blood. I looked into his eyes & we both smiled, his being weaker than mine, because he had lost a lot of his strength along with all that blood.

"Now, I'd hate to spoil this lil' Kodark moment, but we don't get out of here before those Controllers find us, it's not gonna be pretty, if you know what I mean. ¡Vayamos! Let's go!"

"I'm coming with you."

"(Kim?!)"

"Sssh?! Don't worry, Ax. I'm not gonna leave your side, I promise."

"O.K.?! Anytime, Oddball Kim."

"I'm coming, Marco Polo!"


Meanwhile, shortly later, back at the barm.....
"You're lucky to still be alive, Ax."

"I can say the same thing for Oddball Kim."

"What's that suppose to mean?" I heard Tobias ask Marco Polo.

"I'd be answer that for you." I said as I reluctently presented myself for everyone to see. "If I could call letting my temper get the better of me, thus, putting myself in harm's way, & therefore, having to have a certain alien friend risk his life just to save mine, lucky."

"O.K., I gave." Rachel said, giving me an uneasy look. "What's she doing here?"

"I'm here as a friend."

"Marco?!"

"(Prince Jake, please?!)" Ax said as he weakly, yet boldly, confronted Jake. "(Try to understand, the Controllers tried to kill her tonight. I had to save her!)" he then fell over on himself, but I was able to catch him.

"Easy there, Ax, you're still weak from losing blood." I said, rubbing his fur as gently as I could. "You need to rest...after all, you've been one rough day."


"(What about you?)" he asked as he started to become drozey.

"I'll be fine, Axie. I promised you I'd wouldn't leave your side....."

".....& you haven't gone back on your word yet."

"Shut it, Marco Polo?!?!" I said as I watch the alien fall asleep.

"He has a point, you know." Tobias stepped & said. "& if both him & Ax were to say a good word about you, I guess you're O.K."

"& besides....." Cassie spoke as she stood right next to him. ".....If the Controllers wanted you dead so badly, there must be a reason."

"Let's not forget....." Rachel followed her actions as she began explaining. ".....When we found that boy, the one Marco was talking about, he called out your name, so you must know each other. Maybe you can help us find him & this blue box he's probably got."

"O.K., O.K.?! I know when I'm outvoted!" Jake said, closing his eyes & spreading his hands across as he reluctently agreed with them just before he then turned around to look at me. "So?! You want in or not?!" he reached out his hand, waiting for me shake it if I wanted to join.

"In, I wanna be a part of the group." they all gasped as I 'morphed' into my alien blind-dog, just before shaking his hand. "(Whatever the group's called?!)"

"Well, I guess you're an Animorph now."

"Oh, by the way, the boy you've been talking about just happens to my older foster brother....." I told them, 'watching' their faces turn pale, their jaws drop, & their eyes go wide. "(.....& he has a name, it's David.)"


&&&
The next morning.....
"Mnm?!"

"(Morning, Kim?! Did you sleep well?)"

"Morning. Yep, 'must've, 'cause I hadn't slept like that since.....well.....my papapa was alive." I yawned & greeted my recovered Andalite friend, but then I realized something horrible. "IT'S MORNING?!?! My mom's so not gonna like this one bit."
