I am so sorry that this took so long. My Muse abandoned me at one point and then the summer heat got to me; making me feel lazy.

And I need to take a shower.

I was back in the human school with Cassie the next day and thoroughly bored. It wasn't until I heard a commotion that the students in the room I was in left for the hall.

I joined them out of curiosity and it would keep me out of the classroom for some time. I had no desire to have to listen to biology that was either incorrect or primitive.

I saw one of the Yeerk leaders, Chapman, shooing students out of a classroom. I saw Jake standing there; I saw I eyes widen and I saw him flee.

I raced after him along with Cassie. I knew that he had witnessed Chapman kill a Controller. He wants so much for his brother to be freed from the Yeerks. More now then ever since he was accidentally infested a few weeks back.

Prince Arbron had taken Jake's place while we waited for the Yeerk to die. We all took turns guarding Jake until it happened.

I had a feeling that I was going to hear from him how upset he was about what he had witnessed. I found myself wishing that Arbron was there to tell Jake that it was the Yeerks that were killing those Controllers; not him.

A few days later I was with Anjinnl working on human homework when the others showed up in their birds of prey morphs.

/Ax,/ Marco started. /What did you do the other day to my Dad's work files?/ He demanded.

"I just played the games that were on it." I answered simply. "There was one that was correct the mistakes so I did." I informed them.

/Ax, that was a computer program for a radio telescope./ Tobias said simply. /Not a game./

/Both my Dad and Tobias's are blown away by it./ Marco said. /Alan said that this could usher in a new understanding of space and help us shift through the white noise of space better./

/He also said that it would be a great asset to SETI./ Tobias put in. "SETI?" I asked. /Search of Extraterrestrial Intelligence./ Jake said. /In other words aliens./ Rachel said

Before I could fully process what they were saying something hard connected with my head. "Ow!" I yelped and I turned to see Anjinnl standing over me with a school book.

/What are we going to do?/ she asked, anger and concern evident in her mental voice.? Prince Arbron is gone so we can't ask him what to do./ /We tell them nothing or as little as possible and I will see about destroying the program./ I told her.

Anji nodded and walked into the Scoop. "Where is the program now?" I asked. "At the Observatory." Marco answered after he finished demorphing.

"You're lucky that we were able to convince our fathers that it was a freak accident. My Dad is still puzzling over the whole thing." Tobias said as he picked a flower.

Anjinnl chose at that moment to return with a notebook and started writing. I peered over her shoulder and frowned. It was just a bunch of mathematical equations; both human and Andalite.

Suddenly something occurred to me. This radio telescope could be used to communicate with the Andalite Home World and let them know what happened.

"Ax, what are you thinking?" Rachel asked. "Not much apparently." Anjinnl answered for me.

/Remind me again why you couldn't have brought Anji with you." Tobias asked as we flew towards the observatory. /Anjinnl would destroy it before contacting our home world and letting them know that the Yeerks are indeed on Earth./ I stated.

/Oh,/ was Tobias's only reply.

Finally it came into sight.

I was once again taken back by the primitiveness of the Humans. /You still you dishes to pick up signals?/ I asked. /Until we find something better than yes./ Tobias said calmly.

/My parents are going to kill me when they learn that I skipped school./ Tobias muttered. /Then why did you come?/ I asked. /Because I thought it would be nice and I hate Mr. Gagnon anyway./ Tobias said in a tone that I learned was sarcasm.

/It's still under construction so you shouldn't meet anyone./ Tobias told me as we got closer.

I flew through an open window of an empty office and demorphed. I took my place at a computer and disabled the security system as if it was annoying child's program. I then did what I had to do to get in contact with the Andalite Home World. I braced myself for the fallout that could come from this.

It took about ten Earth minutes to do it and I knew that I would have to face the consequences of my actions.

I told the Andalite on the other end as little as possible. That Prince Arbron-Bantec-Deroma was alive as well as myself and Anjinnl-Kardon-Liuary. I told him that Prince Arbron had found a way to gather information but I wasn't sure what that was. I had decided to omit the humans from this. I didn't want them to suffer from it.

The hardest thing I did was tell my Father that my brother, the one that we had hoped was still alive out there; somewhere was most likely dead.

I didn't really know my brother except that he disappeared before I was born on a mission and was never heard from again.

Elfangor was a mystery to me. Even Prince Arbron was hesitant to talk about my brother. If I didn't know any better I'd say that he was hiding something.

No sooner had I finished making my vow to kill the Yeerk that more or less admitted to killing Elfangor the screen went dark.

I felt a mixture of panic and confusion.

"I had to break the connection because it was breaking my heart." A human male's voice said.

I turned and saw him standing thirty feet away holding a Dracon Beam. This man was a Controller and I was in his sights.

And there you have it!

Hopefully I will do better at updating period. It might help if I didn't play TOR until I wrote some.
