Visser One stormed through the ship towards the holding cell they were keeping the native in. He had heard that he was not cooperating at all with them. Apparently not even The One had been able to break him. Oh the gloating if he could do it. He reached the door and it slid silently open, the room beyond was small and grey, just like the rest of the ship, but there was another door directly opposite the door he was standing in, this one had a number pad next to it, he calmly walked up to it and entered a 7 digit code, the door slid open exposing the native chained to a chair, he looked pathetic and beaten, his face was a mask of bruises and gashes, only one eye could open, and from the way he was slumped in the steel chair, the rest of him couldn't be that good either.
The Visser walked up to him and crouched down till their faces were level, he hesitated before he began, he had been in this situation before, with a prisoner needing to be interrogated, but he had let that fool of a sub-visser take control of that, and the prisoner escaped, he still had no idea how the child had survived that much pain and pleasure with his mind intact. The entire episode was considered one of the Visser's worst failures, one of the biggest disasters in the Earth Invasion. But the hesitation was a micro-second, undetectable, he would avenge that failure today.
"Who are you?" He said, the native just looked at him, seemed to smile then looked once again at the floor. His reaction was confusing, what was the smile about? What did this native know that he didn't? Were the Ellimist's fools already here? No, it was impossible, the ship's sensors would have detected them.
"You do realise, that by refusing to answer our basic questions, you only cause yourself more pain?" The Visser said, false concern and compulsion in his voice. The native did nothing.
"Very well have it your way." He turned round took something from the wall and turned back, he was holding a long, black, metal instrument.
"This is a Bla'Vaak, it is the most powerful instrument of pain in the Galaxy. It has thousands of function some small, some not so small, all painful. Now I'll ask once more who are you?"
The Native looked up, at the weapon, then back to the Visser. Opened his mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice, full of conviction.
"When the others come. The Ellimist's Angels to save us from Crayak's wrath and his forces of tyranny, when they come I will be the one to look at you and laugh. Before I bathe in your blood, Yeerk, I know what you are, and I shall never surrender my people. The Ellismist's Angel's defeated you before. In our legends, we know all about the legendary Earth children that defeated you. When they come, my people will worship them. We are many, and will follow them into battle if we must. Tell me, if you were scared of them before, what chance do you think you have against them, AND our armies? Not much of one, I'd guess." The smiled again, then turned his eyes to the floor.
The Visser was shocked, and scared. That didn't happen a lot. But he was, they would never be able to defeat an army and the freaks. He looked again at the native and took a step back. This was bad. But there was always the chance he was lying. But was it worth the risk?
Olias stared at the floor, for he knew that if he looked up the servant of Crayak would know everything he needed to from his eyes. He would know the lie. It was true the legends spoke of the Ellimist and Crayak and the battle to take place on this planet and the Earth Conflict that happened before. But very few believed and those few were divided into the followers of Crayak and the Ellimist, the rest of his people simply did not have the time or the interest to ponder such things, they believed it was a load of pre historic drawing made by their ancestors, not worth the consideration of modern civilisation. But, if this alien was a Yeerk and the others were servants of Crayak then the legend was true, and the Ellimist's Angel's had to arrive soon. Didn't they? And what of the darkest part of the legend? Where the very universe itself would be shaken by the conflict between the ultimate warriors of good and evil? That one would travel with the soldiers of Crayak, one with the soldiers of the Ellimist. Could that mean that he was locked up near to a being that controlled the very power of Evil itself? For the first time since he became a believer he hoped against hope that the legend was false.
I walked through the sliding doors onto the Bridge, Ax looked at me and smiled his Andalite smile.
Cassie, Marco, Jake and Toby are sleeping, Tobias I have not seen. He said
"OK, well I'll keep you company then" I said, he nodded and I sat down in my station
We sat in silence for a long time, in which he seemed to want to sya something but wasn't sure if he could or not. Finally he did.
Rachel, you and Tobias. Are you, OK as humans say? He said, looking directly at me
I sighed "I don't know, Ax. I really don't. I thought we were but then after yesterday, I'm not sure what he feels anymore."
Ax nodded slowly, What do YOU feel Rachel? Do you still love him?
I thought about it, it was such a simple question, but so complicated in its simplicity, I thought and thought, Ax never taking his eyes off me.
"Yes, I do, I think. I need to talk to him. Sort this mess out." I said resolutely.
Just then the door opened, Ax and I spun round to see Tobias himself walk in, I don't know what it was, but there was something different about him, he seemed to, glow slightly, and he seemed more sure of himself, like he finally understood what he wanted and needed to do. He looked around when he came in, as if he was just seeing the Bridge for the first time, then turned his attention to Ax and I. I don't know why but right then, when his eyes met with mine, I saw something new about him, as if he had been changed, and at the same time I knew that what I had said before was completely true, I loved him more than ever.
Tobias? What has happened? You seem different said a very concerned looking Ax
Tobias turned his head to Ax and smiled, it was a warm smile, filled with understanding, like what a very close friend would give another friend if he could help him sort out all of his problems.
"Lots has happened Ax, all of which I want to tell you. None of which I shall, till the time is right." Tobias said, he sounded exactly the same yet different.
"Tobias?" I said, feeling very small, yet very special as he turned to me "We need to talk."
"Yes, I think we do" He said "But not yet, I have to think about things before I can talk to you about what you want to talk about. I think its best if we wait a while before we think about it anymore. Give us some space." He gave me another very warm smile and walked back out of the door.
What was that? Ax demanded, he looked more shocked than I've ever seen him
"I'm not sure, but I know something's changed. And I don't know if I like it" I said
How can you not know what it is, but immediately dislike it? Ax asked
"Because I don't like the fact that Tobias just blew me off." I said a dangerous edge to my voice "Screw the space. I want to talk to him now!" I stormed out of the bridge and headed straight to Tobias and Marco's door, which slid open, and I found myself looking straight into Tobias's face, he smiled again, and looked me in the eye.
"I knew you'd come, I didn't want Ax to feel uncomfortable, so I made it look like I didn't want to talk, that way we should be left alone because Ax will tell everyone your in a mood with me and I'm still moping. Seeing as Marco went to stay in Jake's room earlier because I was moping then we should have a few hours peace." He said a grin on his face.
"So, you didn't mean what you said back there?" I asked
"Hell no, I don't want to keep fighting, I want things to be back the way they were, I hate fighting with you, I have to do it enough already. I'm sorry I was moping before, but I wont be doing it anymore, I have purpose now"
I was shocked to say the least "Well, I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have blown up at you the way I did, But what do you mean you have purpose now?"
"As I said before, I want to tell you but I cant yet, needless to say I realised something earlier and its made me better. You'll see." He grinned again, and kissed me gently on the lips, for about a second I was too shocked at his suddenness, but then I recovered and leaned into him, deepening the kiss. All I could think of then, other than focusing on kissing him, was Thank God we have a few hours to ourselves.
