Chapter Six
Edward ran towards Carlisle, fearing the worst. Once vampire skin caught fire, it burned all they war, consuming the vampire. It only took an instant to be at Carlisle side. But was immediately taken back when Carlisle sat up, wincing slightly.
"Carlisle your okay," said Edward, not totally believing it.
"I'm fine" said Carlisle, assuredly, "it's just a little burn." Edward immediately looked down at Carlisle chest, pulling back his shirt to look clearer. There was a nickel size burn through his chest were his heart was. For just a second Edward could see all the way through it, but as he watched it began to slowly repair itself.
"How did burn through you, but not catch skin on fire?" asked Edward, as he helped Carlisle up.
"Edward, your guess is as good as mine, my opinion would be that because a dracon beams laser, shoots so fast. That their wouldn't be enough time to catch my skin on fire," said Carlisle. "At least we now know we can be hurt by them."
"I guess," said Edward, barley as the rest of the family flew towards Carlisle grabbing him in a massive bear hug. The sound, sounded like an entire mountain range was falling down. Edward couldn't help but think about how many other ways they could have found out, and what would of happen if the shot hit Carlisle brain. He shuddered at the thought.
The Animorphs, and wolves were surrounding the newly freed host of Visser Three.
(I thank-you all for setting me free) said the Andalite, bowing to each of them.
Jake gave the command to dimorph, Alloran didn't seem surprised when he was they were human.
"You don't seem surprised" stated Jake as he finished demorphing from his vampire morph.
(I didn't think you were Andalites, your fight pattern didn't match our way. I never put these thoughts into words to keep you safe from that Yeerk) he replied. Pointing to the Visser, who Ax was putting in a box for safe keepings.
"So what are we going to do with the slug, and the rest of the humans and Hork-Bajir?" asked Emmett, nodding his head to the unconscious body guards of Visser Three.
"We should give them the chance to surrender," said Cassie firmly. "Maybe offer them the power to morph, so they will never enslave anyone else again."
It was no surprise when Alloran and Ax started to argue, saying that killing the Yeerks would solve all there problems. But Carlisle interrupted them.
"If you did that you would be as bad as the Yeerks. Wouldn't the outcome of this event outweigh your objections? Never again would the Yeerks have to enslave the innocent, never destroy worlds. It would make everyone's lives easier."
(Would you also allow Vissers, such as Visser Three the right. After all of the murdering of innocent lives, like my brother, would you let him do this?) asked Ax who sounded like he could cry.
Jake answered that question. "No Ax-man, Visser Three won't be allowed to. He'll be accountable for his actions."
(Let's not worry about all of this now, the Yeerks aren't defeated yet) cautioned Tobias.
Everyone had to agree with that and began to load the Blade ship with the captured hosts. The Animorphs glad that they had one this battle without any loss of lives. The Pack decided to run back instead of going in the ship. Jake pulled Tobias to the side and told him something, and Tobias flew away. After the last host was loaded Ax, and Alloran started to fly towards the Cullens house. There the group would plan the next stage of their attack. The Blade ship had just barely landed when the hosts began to wake.
They stared at the Cullens and the Animorphs with frightened eyes, wondering what was going to happen to them.
"What are you going to do with us," asked one of them, a young woman.
Jake stepped forward. "If you follow our instructions, no one will be harmed in anyway. If you try anything, you will be starved out of your hosts."
The hosts looked at each other. Kandrona starvation was the worst and most feared way to die.
"What do we have to do," asked the same Yeerk.
"We want you to leave your hosts, if we win this war, you'll be given the power to morph any animal. But it be your first and last morph, whatever animal you choose, you have to stay in it forever."
The Yeerks were shocked, they would have never thought that they would be offered that choice.
"We have your word Andalite, that we will not be harmed?"
"Yes, you have all of ours words," said Jake motioning to the group behind him.
The Yeerks nodded, and began squirming their way out of their host ears. For the safety of the Yeerks, the Animorphs didn't untie the hosts until the Yeerks were safely in the ships Kandrona pool. The newly freed hosts began to pour there thanks onto the Animorphs and Cullens. For a few of the hosts, it was the first time in years that they were totally themselves for more than a few minutes. For those, there speech and movements were jerky. Many had given up hope of ever being rescued. Some even broke down and started to bawl their eyes out. It was scary to see some of the Hork-Bajir start crying.
"Jasper" said Edward looking at him. Suddenly everyone felt very calm, Jasper was using his power to calm everyone down, Esme went around and started to comfort them.
"Carlisle, do you have a car big enough to transport the humans without them seeing where there at. It would be safer for everyone involved if they didn't see anything," said Jake.
"Yes we do, Emmett, bring around your jeep" said Carlisle. Turning to Jake he asked, "what about the Hork-Bajir?"
"I sent Tobias to the valley of Hork-Bajir to being Toby to lead the new ones back to the valley."
Rachel handed out blindfolds to the humans, and led them out to Emmett's waiting jeep. Cassie left to do her chores at the farm. Belle went to pick up Nessie. Ax and Alloran were still in the Blade ship, contacting Andalites and telling them of the new situation.
Jake couldn't help but think of Tom, now would be the perfect time to rescue him, and force the Yeerk out of him. Jake jumped when Edward put his hand on his shoulder.
"We could you know," Edward said.
Jake scrambled a moment, not knowing how Edward new what he was thinking, still getting used to the idea of Edward reading his mind.
"Do you think we should," asked Jake.
Edward thought a moment. "Yes, the Yeerk force will be scrambling to figure out what happened. When they do, it will probably end in a giant fight, and we won't be able to keep everyone alive like this time. It would be more dangerous to Tom, since he doesn't have an important Yeerk, so he would be sent to the front lines."
Jake nodded deep in thought, before looking back up at Edward. "Let's go get him."
