Okay, I know, I know! It's been like… forever! But please understand… I haven't had the inspiration for this story! Please don't be mad…
And review! The more reviews… the more CHAPPIES YOU GET!
Elfangor
Well, I was contemplating not existing… then suddenly the doors to the bridge opened, and there… in front of me… my mother…
"Enter!" Visser Three barked, and we all did, with the door shutting behind us. I tensed, looking at my mother… her eyes were so cold and hard…
Then I shot a look at Nicole, who wasn't handling it so well as she looked at her father… I couldn't really blame her…
"Control your host, Sub-Visser!" he ordered "The child is making a fool-"
Suddenly, he was on his knees! Hands pressed against his temples, and… screamed!
"Nicole! NOOOOO! NOT MY… NOT…"
Then, he just got up. Like it was no biggie.
"You were saying, Visser?" Nicole asked almost innocently. Her arms were crossed against her chest. He gave her a death glare.
(Good work Nicole. Keep it up) Lily said, her head hung low, slumping.
"Now is not the time for your petty squabbling! Now, tell us what happened, Visser Two" My mother… or Jelred, whatever she was called… stared at Toni. Toni stepped forward.
"Yes, Visser. The children managed to breech our defences with quite an impressive display of teamwork as we were already fending off an attack from the resistance. We were… our host bodies were destroyed, but we managed to capture these bodies instead. And… and this…" she waved a hand towards Lily, grinning cruelly.
Jelred smiled "This pleases me, although I am still quite shocked that the humans were able to destroy your original host bodies so easily"
"Visser, they didn't even-"
"Shut up, Visser Five!" Jelred snapped, glaring at Alex. He shut up, looking down guiltily.
"Yes Visser"
"Now" she (he?) turned back to the others. She walked over to Lily, hit her with her tail, then looked at the rest of us. I felt tense, and also weak at the same time. This was my mother! This… this creep!... was using my mother's body! Jerk!
"I believe its time to turn this creature into another controller. Visser Three, the box… if you will" she held out her hand, waiting calmly for it. Visser Three looked furious, but turned and went to collect a small black, metal box on the floor. He was coming back with it when…
(Everyone! Nicole, I'm sorry, but… spread out! We can fight the ones on the bridge! Aerionna, make sure those doors can't be unlocked from the outside, all right!) Lily's shrill voice cried. Nicole nodded, but only very slightly. She was giving control over to Lily for now, mostly because she couldn't hand out orders herself.
So I inched towards my mother… saw the others moving out of the corners of my eyes too… slowly… very slowly…
"Andalites!" Jelred roared, then we all sprung into action!
I grabbed the box she was now holding, tossing it into Nicole's dad, who made a loud 'oomph!' hit the floor. I'd hit him in the head.
I grabbed my mother's form, forcing her arms back behind her as I watched the horror on the bridge unfold. Aerionna was over at the doors, ripping and tearing parts out of the panel beside it… two were on her!
(I got your back!) Zack yelled, swiping and slicing and cutting the two away. Then he stood, back to back with her, as she continued to do her work. Lily was slicing and dicing the only way an Andalite knows how. Megan and Michelle were helping their brother as he fought with fists and feet. He kicked a Taxxon, sending its guts spilling all over the place. He pulled his foot out, and it looked like he was almost gagging as he backed up, and Michelle finished the thing.
Nicole, Cody and Toni were on Visser Three in an instant… although I saw him growing…
Sean and Seth were both hacking away at whatever came at them. Soon, Zack had joined them. Aerionna was done, and came over to help me.
(How is she?)
(Yeerked. That's as far as I know) I had her pinned under my mass, but slowly… she was turning to liquid in my hands!
(MOTHER!) I screamed.
"Good boy… I will be fine…" a soft voice, just before she completely turned to liquid. I backed up, thinking I'd killed my own mother somehow. I saw the Yeerk plop out onto the floor, a filthy grey slug…
(Grab it!) Lily yelled.
(Grab what! There's nothing to grab!-!)
(Get the slug, you dork!) she screamed, even as she fought a Taxxon, and two Hork-Bajir at once. What an amazing young woman…
Aerionna snatched it up, holding it between her claws.
(Filthy slug!) she said with such hatred, throwing it roughly back onto the floor. Then, she stomped on it! I almost had a heart attack!
(Aerionna… mother… she's…)
(Back up!) Lily was suddenly there, trying to pull me back with weak Andalite arms. But I responded to her anyway, backing up and watching in horror as the sliver puddle that was once my mother… changed! She… it… she…
I watched in awe as slowly the puddle began to take shape. Soon, it was… she was alive! She sighed, almost collapsing, but I caught her, setting her down and shifting back… needed to know…
I shrunk, and she slowly smiled at me.
"My son… my dear, sweet son… I knew you would not give up hope… too much of your father in you…"
"Oh mama!" I cried, then hugged her tightly. I knew I was being childish, but… I had my mother back!-!
Aerionna was soon beside us, and I felt my mother weakly put an arm around both of us. Aerionna's chest was heaving, and her eyes were so sad… but I knew she was glad too. We had our mother back!
"AHHH! A LITTLE HELP HERE!" Nicole screamed, and when I turned my head I saw Cody hit a wall!
"Cody!" I yelled, letting go of my mother and taking in the full situation. There was an orange tiger… and Toni and Nicole were standing in front of it, tense. I knew then… Nicole's dad had morphed.
(I'll get him!) Sean cried, but was stopped by the remaining Hork-Bajir. Seth went to help him. Alex ran, kicking at the tigers rump, but barely jumped away in time as the creature turned…
I ran… flapped my wings… got altitude… and dove on his back!
I dug my claws in, with Nicole's dad screaming in pain and anger. Bucked like a horse! But I held on! I HAD to!
"Don't kill him Elfangor!" Nicole shouted. Ye-eah, right.
"I got news for ya Nicole! HE'D PROBABLY KILLE ME FIRST!" I cried, then seconds later he threw me off! The tiger turned his vicious eyes on me… fangs bared…
"AHHHH!" I screamed in pure terror! This was madness! It was… it was…
FWAAAAPPP!
The blade came out of no-where, slamming the tiger in the side of the head with the flat of the blade. The tiger went down. Hard.
(Sorry about that. Got tied up a little) Lily muttered, slowly turning a creamy colour…
"Do not fear. He is near the end of his feeding cycle" My mother was suddenly there, riding on Aerionna. She looked so worn out…
"How do you know?" Alex asked as he came over with his Hork-Bajir sisters.
"Mine was as well. That is how I managed to control my body enough to rid myself of it. Being Visser One was a harder job then Jelred realised"
"The irony of it all, is that he became his own enemy" Toni said as she helped Cody up. He was rubbing the back of his head, looking like he'd been knocked around quite a bit.
"I know. Now all we have to do is find my mother" Nicole said gently, her hands on her fathers unmoving form. Her hands moved with his chest, breathing slowly.
"The question is, where is she?" I asked as Alex and a now human Megan helped me up. I can honestly say I was more than a little knocked around myself.
My mother frowned "I may know"
"Where then?" Nicole demanded.
"She is… a lowly Sub-Visser, and she is… in the bowels of this ship"
"Oh crap" Michelle muttered.
