OK this is a short chapter because I was thinking about how this story was going to go, adn then this polt twist hit me! I wrote it out as quickly as possible before I could forget. It is a little strange but I think could be interesting later. Anyway thanks to all who reviewed! To Miguel, I have thought about what you said and have e-mailed you already but I thought about your idea of a Yeerk morphing Tom, which was good, but unfortuneately the only Yeerk who had Tom as a morph was killed by Rachel before she was murdered but an interesting thought none the less! Anyway here you go, hope you like it, tell me what you think of my idea!

Tobias

Sometimes I hate those sliding doors. Not because they are inconvenient but because when you're angry you want to hear a door slam behind you. It's very satisfying, well, that's what I think anyway , and if the door is an automatic sliding door, then you can't slam it. I wish I could have slammed the door then. It would have been so much more dramatic. Would have given my exit such a different feel at the end, maybe that would have been better.

I stormed through the door, I could feel the others staring at me. Who could blame them? That was quite possibly the biggest argument me and Rachel had ever had, and what was it about? Me calling her a name? No, it may have been about that, but it was me that was the problem, I had been moping a lot and it was driving her crazy, I could see it was, but I couldn't help it. I demprphed back to hawk, I don't know why I morphed to walk down to the door, but never mind that now. I fluttered up to my little perch on the wall that I slept on. I sat there and I thought. I thought and thought and thought, and slowly drifted off on my perch.

Sometime later, I woke up very suddenly, which is not uncommon when you are a hawk. You have to be constantly on alert. What was strange was that I was no longer in the room on the ship. For a second I didn't know where I was, then I caught on.

"What do you want now, Ellimist?" I asked, I didn't even try to figure out when I had morphed from hawk to human

"Tobias." The Ellimists booming voice filled my head "I have a task for you, on top of the one you are currently undertaken"

"How did I know you were going to say that?" I moaned

"Crayak and I have come to an understanding on this topic, it took a long time, which is why I am only telling you now."

"This is not sounding good Ellimist" I said suspicion dripping from my voice

"Crayak has placed Drode, his right hand, on his team" The Ellimsit began

"WHAT?!" I roared "That isn't fair! He has powers far beyond any of us!"

"That is precisely what him and me were discussing. We came to the understanding that Crayak was allowed Drode in exchange for resurrecting Rachel. However, he has now come to me with an interesting proposition, one that I accepted. Drode is allowed to use all of his powers. With virtually no limitations, except the obvious, no directly altering the world of timeline. In exchange for this Crayak has allowed one of my team to get special treatment, as you would say."

"What does that mean?" I asked

"Tobias, I want you to be the one with special treatment, you are different from the others. Rachel may have been resurrected from the dead, but you have a unique genetic structure, part Human, part Anadalite, part Hawk. So you are perfect."

"I still don't know what that means, either my DNA or the special treatment"

"It means Tobias, that you are unique beyond all others. Drode is Crayak's right hand, so has powers similar to Crayak and I. I want to offer the same right to you."

"What?" I gasped

"I want YOU to be my right hand, my avatar in this plain, jsut as Drode is to Crayak. You would have all Drodes powers at your disposal. What do you say? Please Hurry we do not have much time"

I thought about it, I really did, it was so much power, something to define me, and we didn't stand a chance against Drode without it. There was no choice.

"I accept" I said nervously

"Very good. Now I will grant them to you"

A bright white light shone from a point just ahead of me, the light expanded until it shone all around me, then seemed to recede into me. I felt power flow through my body. And instantly I knew how to use them all. It was incredible! Unimaginable! The power!

"The powers are yours Tobias, use them as you will. But remember the rules that apply to me, Crayak and Drode all apply to you."

I nodded, understanding fully for once. Turned and opened a rift back to the ship. Dont ask how because I don't know. I just did it. I walked throughan was instantly back in the room.

Oh yes this was cool!
