Suddenly finding himself standing amidst the frozen forms of Controllers all around him, back on his own two feet, Tommy hurried to catch up with the rest of his fellow Animorphs. It was eerie, almost like they were walking through a video that had just been put on pause, and as they all managed to gather together again, Tommy looked around at all of the frozen people and aliens all around them.
He couldn't quite stop himself from shuddering.
"Okay, I'm ready to wake up now," Marco said, as their group all gathered together again. "This dream is getting weird."
Rachel called their attention to a pair of Hork-Bajir that had been frozen in place by the door leading into the cafeteria, and as they began making their way away from the Taxxon that had been about to eat them, Tommy couldn't quite stop himself from shuddering again. Once they were out of the cafeteria, making their way back into the main area of the Yeerk pool, Tommy saw that all of them had been frozen in the exact same way as the ones in the cafeteria.
As they made their way out to the frozen shore of the Yeerk pool itself, surrounded by the frozen forms of the Yeerks, their collaborators, and their captives, the first thing that Tommy found his attention drawn to was the only form that was actually moving…A tall, gangly form, with messy blond hair.
"Tobias?"
