Title: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 22, 2011, 12:02:14 PM
     PLEASE READ INTRODUCTION FIRST!

      You guys ever want to be Animorphs? You guys ever wonder what it would be like to fight the Yeerks? You ever wonder how your decisions would effect the course of the Yeerk War?

     Here's our chance, people. This is a scenario/RPG where a handful of Rafians get the power to morph. Where they meet a dying warrior from the Andalite homeworld at an abandoned construction site on their way home from the mall. But we aren't playing the Animorphs, we're playing ourselves.

     But, unfortunately, we can't have EVERYONE from RAF participating. We need a few key people to play the leader, the warrior, the loner, the joker, the moralist and the alien--the same archetypes of the Animorphs. In addition we need a Yeerk Commander of Earth, a traitor, the dying Andalite war Prince, the Yeerk Commanders right hand men (the Tom and Chapman) and the Yeerk Commander's rival (a Visser One).

     We are not going to be going through exactly what the Animorphs went through. Here, we make our own decisions, and those decisions can either escalade or hinder the Yeerk war.

     Current Players: TobiasMasonPark, as James
                                     Bear, as Josh
                                     Terenia, as Jessi
                                     Gorillaman16, as Shaun
                                     RAFRukh, as Caleb
                                     Chris(Gymn), as Chris
                                     NewBlaze, as Yeerk Sub-Visser, Andalite Prince
                                     Kayla, as Kayla

     Rules: No powers other than morphing capabilities
            : No wandering Pets
            : No Mary-Sues.

      Personal message me, if you're interested. Tell me what role you'd wish to play (Leader, warrior, etc--please don't say you want to be Tobias or Jake, because we are NOT playing the canon Animorphs). I will personal message you your slot in the war. If you did not get a main part, you can be additional players, such as Human controllers, or family of the main players.

     You ARE allowed to personal message other players on this RPG--a way to keep secrets and make the RPG more interesting (this works especially for those who will be playing traitors and Yeerks, and don't want their enemies to know what they're plotting. It also allows us the element of surprise.

     As of today we have a total of five Animorphs: Myself, Shaun, Terenia, Caleb and Chris.
     We will only be taking five Animorphs at the present time. We are NOT accepting anymore, as we're going by the books. If you WANT to be an Animorph, more will probably be introduced as we go on, so don't fret.
     We still need people to play FAMILY MEMBERS, the dying ANDALITE, the YEERK COMMANDER, various CONTROLLERS (human, Hork-Bajir, Gedd, Taxxon, etc) and family members of the main Animorphs.

     SORRY ABOUT THE RULES, but it's unrealistic to have EVERYONE play an Animorph. But, dont' worry. Like I said, EVERYONE can have something to do in this RPG. I'm not trying to discriminate.

     IF YOU WANT PARTICIPATION, MESSAGE ME FIRST, TELLING ME WHO AND WHAT [GOOD OR BAD GUY] YOU WANT TO PLAY. I will also accept a BREIF description of the character you will be playing. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PERSONAL MESSAGE ME! DO NOT POST ON THE THREAD, BECAUSE IT WILL JUST ADD TO THE CLUTTER.

     Regards, TobiasMasonPark

Cool concept, but I have one suggestion. Don't force RAFians to fit into archetypes. I mean, if I'm playing as myself in an Animorphs-esque situation I probably wouldn't fit into any of those roles, and to make myself fit into them would be changing the character. By keeping the archetypes, you keep the original Animorphs. Does that make sense?

I think the basic idea is good, but it would be more organic if people could just act as they would normally, instead of trying to fit into the 'leader' or 'peacemaker' role, or whatever.

I know that my reaction upon the Elfangor situation would be much different from any of the real Animorphs, so it really wouldn't fit the archetype.
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph!
Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 22, 2011, 12:33:14 PM
     Then don't follow the archetypes :P

     I just thought that other Rafians would want a position to fit into, like the leader or whatever. But if you want to be yourself, that's cool; probably the best.

     I guess I meant that, should anyone be interested, they should tell me whether they want to be a "good guy" or "bad guy."

     Is that better, teach? :P
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph!
Post by: Terenia on April 22, 2011, 12:37:05 PM
Yeah, that makes more sense. :P You made it sound like everyone had to fit into one of the roles from the books. I was confused. Ignore my fuzzy brain.

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 22, 2011, 12:53:34 PM
     (I guess I'll start this, just to get people interested and give an idea of what's going down. Anyone who joins in, just PM me, to let me know what you want to be--good guy/bad guy)
     
     My name is James.

     At least, that's what I want you to think. For all you know, my name could be something much different, something that isn't even English. I can't go on about where I live, or where I go to school. Even if I could, I wouldn't. Because, up until earlier tonight, nothing that happened in my old town was ever worth writing down. Seriously, if you drove passed my little town, you'd hardly notice it. And my family...Well, they're alright, I guess. You know the story: a mom, a dad, a younger brother, and a dog. We get along, sure. But I can't tell them anything about what's going on: about the Yeerks, and the Andalite who gave me and some other kids the power to morph...But more about that later...Right now, I should tell you about how, exactly, the world changed.

     I didn't think that I'd be going to the mall that day. I'm not a mall-crawler, by nature. Mainly because I rarely had someone to join me. But there I was, walking around the food court, without a penny in my pocket or even a reason to be at the mall in the first place! I just ended up walking there after school. I guess, if I had to explain my being there, I would say it was a gut instinct. The mall was just a place to be that night.

     But, I didn't have any money on me. There's really no point in being at the mall pennyless. But, again, my guy told me that it wasn't quite the time to head home. Just stick around a teensy bit longer, I found myself thinking.

     So I pulled up a chair at a table by the window--my favourite place to eat; when I had money. And I stared out at my neighbourhood.

My name is Shaun.

You can't know my last name or even my middle name it would narrow down the search to find me. Who is looking for me you ask, well I'll tell you it's the Yeerks. You will learn more about the Yeerks later but this is the beginning to a story that may never end, today is the first day of the rest of my life. You want to know about me well I live with my mom its just us in one apartment with one bed. My mom sleeps on the couch most of the time but I sleep there sometimes to give her a break. My mom doesn't know about what is happening to the human race and I cannot tell her just in case she is one of them.

I was at the mall in the food court getting some chicken and fries with a coke from McDonald's when I saw James sitting at his usual sport next to the window overlooking our neighborhood. "Hey James, want some fries?" I said as I sat down.

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 22, 2011, 04:24:02 PM
     I turned to look at who had called my name. It was a kid named Shaun. He and I weren't exactly the same age, but we knew each other from school. I got to tell you, I wasn't used to company at the mall. Not that I'm a loser or anything like that. I'm just awkward. But Shaun was, as far as I knew, a decent guy. So, I took a fry and thanked him.

"No problem I figured I'd come sit with you since there aren't many places to sit and you looked lonely. Hey and call me crazy it's like my gut was telling me to come over here and sit with you I don't know it's weird." I took a bite of my chicken slurped down some soda and ate a few fries.

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 22, 2011, 10:00:41 PM
     At the time I thought nothing of Shaun's little comment. Looking back now, it all seemed to...I don't know, fit. But u just nodded in agreement and watched him eat. My stomach rumbled in envy. I raised a hand to take another fry, but decided against it.

"If you want one have it i don't need all this food anyway." i said taking some chicken.

I'm Chris. But maybe not...

Anyways one day I was at the mall I typically don't go to the mall but I wanted to by a videogame and decided to eat at the food court. I got Papa John's and went to find a seat. There some kids I recognized from school. Shaun and James... I think. Now I know a variety of people because of my wide selection of interests. I played football (Offensive Line) so I knew friends from there. I also was in band so I knew the band people. Other clubs and scholastic bowl added to the mix. Shaun and James weren't in my friend group but I decided to sit near them anyways. I put my tray down a table away. I should Probably hurry and finish eating. My parents would be expecting me. I had the prototype of a perfect family. Mom, Dad, younger sister, dog, and multiple small mammals. I nodded to Shaun and James as I sat down.

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 23, 2011, 10:18:53 AM
     I noticed a guy fm the school football team nodding towered me and Shaun. I think his name ws Chris, but I'm not sure. At school, I'm not what you'd call social; especially with the big, burly football types.

     But, just to be polite, I nodded back.

((probably going to age myself down a bit. It would be a bit weird if a 25 year old was hanging out with a bunch of middle school kids, eh?))

My name is Jessi. I hate shopping. So I'm not exactly sure why I found myself at the local mall on a Friday night, when I could be curled up with my computer and books at home.

Trying to make the best out of a bad situation I had spent the past few hours perusing the shelves at Barnes & Noble and avoiding every clothing store I passed like the plague. The hours passed surprisingly quickly at the bookstore. I was about a third of the way through one of the newer Young Adult selections when a voice announced over the PA that the store would be closing in ten minutes.

"Oh, man," I said, checking my phone. Almost nine o'clock. My parents were going to kill me. I reshelved the book and made my way back into the mall proper, heading towards the food court exit.


((Question: what year is this? 1996 or present day?))

Post by: gorillaman16 on April 23, 2011, 11:24:48 AM
Shaun saw James sit at a table next to him and James. He didn't usually talk to Chris but he has in the past. Shaun did play football as a wide receiver for the team but he didn't associate much with the football team because off the field he was quiet and a fantasy bookworm. He nodded to Chris when he sat down to be polite.

((I'll be the loner I guess. Kinda fits me. :P. I'm going on the assumption that it is the present...except in the present phones have cameras... :shrug: ))

My name is Caleb.

A simple, common name. I lead a simple, common life. Until one day....

I was at the town mall that day. I have no idea why. I hate being in public. It's not that I don't like people, it's  that...well, I don;t like myself very much. I'm always self-conscious, worried that I've made a mistake somewhere along the line. So, I was alone. I was just meandering around the mall, because my mom told me to just get out of the house. So I came here...in retrospect, not a horrible choice. One that greatly embroiled my life, but nonetheless, not so bad.

I saw a book store...I loved books...but it was stated that the mall would be closing. I didn't care. I could just go home. I should've anyway. My curfew was 9:30.

I headed towards the nearest exit; by the food court. In fact I ran...or, jogged I guess. I accidentally bumped into some girl. Great...

"Oh, I'm so sorry!", I said, still moving towards the exit, but slower now.

I finished my lunch and put my trash in the garbage. I headed geared the exit.
"See ya." I said as I passed James and Shaun. There were a bunch of people here today. I had planned on going to the bookstore but it was to late now.
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph!
Post by: gorillaman16 on April 23, 2011, 12:10:10 PM
I finished my food and decided to leave. "Hey Chris wait up we can all walk together to keep each other company."
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph!
Post by: Cobra (Gymn) on April 23, 2011, 12:18:14 PM
"Sure." I knew Shaun sort of. He was into Reading. I used to read more but school kept me busy. I stood near the door, waiting.

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 23, 2011, 01:18:04 PM
    Alright, just a few more things before we continue.

     First: The time period is 2011. If some or all of you disagree, we can change it to 1996.

     Second: I didn't exactly plan on us being in middle school. To be honest, I didn't give our education much thought. I intended my character to be seventeen--a senior in high school...But whatever.

     Third: We now have five Animorphs. That's all for now. We're going by the book's formula-- five kids go through an abandoned construction site. We need someone to play the Andalite, and Controllers, etc. Any added Animorphs will be introduced at a later point-- for example, Shaun let's our secret slip to his cousin and we have to let them join. NO MORE ANIMORPHS until later, alright? We still need Controllers, family and a Yeerk commander.

     Fourth: If you wish to join, be sure to personal message me aput what you want to do in the RPG.

     Sorry for all the rules. But we can't have everyone and their mothers playing an Animorph...yet.

Post Merged: April 23, 2011, 01:57:10 PM
     Shaun got up and walked over to Chris. They were talking about something, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. After a while, Shaun asked me if I wanted to join him and Chris.

     I was actually happy to have been included...To be honest, it didn't happen frequently. I didn't have anything else to do tonight, so I said yes.

     We were on the second floor of the mall, at the food court. The exit was on the lower level, beneath the fast food places and a lot closer to those fancy family restaraunts. On our way down, I noticed a girl from school, walking towards the exit with a guy I didn't know. Her name was Jessi, and she was just a bit older than I was. I wouldn't say that I had a crush on her... But I did find her attractive. Unfortunately for me, I'm sort of...you know, awkward around girls. Most of the time, I'm just quiet around them. But, sometimes, I blurt out very stupid things that I think are funny, but they find odd.

     I just decided to let Chris and Shaun do all the talking.
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: Terenia on April 23, 2011, 02:59:20 PM
Jessi was watching the floor as she walked, not the people, and the sudden jostling made her stumble into the wall. She looked up in surprise, trying to find the perpetrator. There. A boy that she sort of recognized from school. She couldn't remember his name. Chris? Carter?

"Sorry," she said. It was a bad habit of hers - apologizing when other people are the ones that run into her. She squints at the boy, trying to remember his name. "You're from school, right? Don't we have, um, like history together or something?"
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: gorillaman16 on April 23, 2011, 03:34:32 PM
We were walking out of the mall when I saw Caleb, a weird kid from school, walk into Jessi, a quiet smart girl that is rather attractive. I don't know why but I decided to invite them to walk home with us, it just seemed like I had to. "Hey Caleb, hey Jessi would you two like to join us on our walk home this lovely night? I know a great shortcut that we could use to get home faster."
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: RAFrukh on April 23, 2011, 03:50:15 PM
I looked at her, "No need to apologize, it was my fault.", I said smoothly at her apology, having practiced the sentence so often.

"Uh...uh, history? Uh...I-I don't think so, no...no.", I blurted stupidly. I stopped walking as two kids from school I didn't really know walked over. One offered to walk home with me and Jessi...yea, that was her name.

"Uh...no, no, I should be fine...thanks though...", I ran off. I stopped for a moment at the entrance to look back, but then ran off into the parking lot...
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: Terenia on April 23, 2011, 03:58:55 PM
I watched the retreating figure of the boy in confusion. I was no stranger to social awkwardness myself, but I had never had someone literally run away from me before.

"That was...strange," I said, more to myself than to Shaun. I glanced at him. He I definitely knew from school. Not that I had ever spoken to him before. I was just aware of his presence. Now I sized him up, wondering if his invite had any secondary intentions. The fact that he seemed to know where I lived was creepy enough by itself.

"I try not to make it a habit to walk home with strangers," I said. Then again, you try not to make it a habit to walk home at nine thirty at night when you have to cut through a bad area of town. It'll probably be safer with numbers.

"I guess I can come with you guys," an attempt at a smile flickered over my features for a brief second before falling flat.
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 23, 2011, 04:00:35 PM
     Caleb seemed like a pretty shifty guy. I mean, next to him, I was the Incredible freaking Hulk! Even I was more socialable than Caleb...

     No offense of course.

     "Wonder where he's of to." I said to the others. "Should we run after him?"
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: Cobra (Gymn) on April 23, 2011, 04:17:39 PM
I looked at the guy running away. I didn't remember his name. I didn't hang out with him. I nodded to Jessi. I mostly ignored girls as a rule.

Post by: gorillaman16 on April 23, 2011, 08:48:46 PM
"Yeah that was strange. Great then it's settled we will walk. Let's go find Caleb." Shaun said with a smile. "Oh yeah and Jessi don't be so afraid to hide your smile it's nice.

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 23, 2011, 09:19:35 PM
     I grinned at what Shaun had told Jessi. Inwas walking right behind the others, when I got the feeling that someone was watching us.

     Instinctivey, I looked over my shoulder and, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed someone.

     The person was standing there, by one of the restaraunts. A kid who looked to be about my age. He was just staring back at me. Then, he looked away. For some reason, I thought I knew him.

     "Nothing." I said, shaking my head. "Let's go."

"Sir, we'll be closing in five minutes."
"Oh, alright, thanks." Josh said. He'd been looking at some camping gear that he was going to need for an upcoming campout, specifically some new hiking boots. But... there were so many. He hadn't really looked into it much, and finding a decent pair that could fit in his budget. He'd narrowed it down to a pair of Timberland's that were a little high-end, and a pair of Ozark Trail's that probably weren't as good quality, but were much more affordable. But before he'd decided, the salesman had come to him, mentioning closing. He quickly decided to go with the Timberland's, wincing as the clerk rung up his order, and he then left.

As he was walking for the door with his bag, he got distracted looking at a little woodcarving stand. While he wasn't paying attention, he walked into somebody. "Oof! Oh man, I'm sorry...." he said to her.

I looked back when I heard some one fall. It looked like Jessi had gotten bumped into again. I sighed and rejoined the group. I offered a hand to Jessi and the other to the kid who had bumbed into her. He was from school too! It must be random school gathering night at the mall!

I had been fed and everyting seemed in order when a panicked human female ran up to me. "S-S-Sir, just oustide of the planet visser three is battling with an andalite dome ship." She was pathetic "just send our support ships into orbit" So the andalites were here. Well they can't protect this planet. It's ours.

((um....I didn't say that I fell. I was bumped into...unless I weigh like ten pounds or Josh was running full out I doubt that would knock me to the ground))

My eyebrows shoot up at Shaun's comment about my smile. Definitely someone to steer clear of... He was getting creepier and creepier. No wonder I didn't associate with him at school. I was about to tell him to back off when someone ran into me from behind, causing me to stumble forward a few steps.

"Ow!" More irritated than hurt I looked to see who had rammed into me. What am I, invisible? "What's the big idea?"

"I'm so sorry, miss, I wasn't paying attention where I was going at all. There was..." He was pointing at the woodworking stand, realizing that that was a really lame excuse for bumping into someone. He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "....sorry..."

He felt awkward. He was walking the same way as them, and he didn't want to dash off, but he'd feel kind of out-of-place walking with them. He figured that the latter of the two would be the least-rude option, so he went with that. Someone had said he was hurrying... he hadn't been, really. "I'm uh, just going home. Had to do some late night shopping for some stuff.... What are y'all doin' out?"

Post by: RAFrukh on April 24, 2011, 06:28:09 AM
I had wanted to stay and follow the group...I did. But...well, you know. I don't want to get to repetitive.

I watched them for a while from behind the tinted windows of a Honda Odyssey. A new kid ran into them. Bumped into Jessi the same way I had. Except he seemed less flustered...of course.

Defeat, I told myself, You've been defeated by yourself. You really shouldn't let...

"That's right Caleb, keep talking to yourself. That'll do you good.", I thought out loud.

As they approached the exit, I took off again, making sure to stay low. I headed for the construction site. It was the shortest way home. And if any homeless bum tried to snag me I was fast enough to run away.

"Same." I responded to Josh's question, "They didn't have what I wanted." My house was on the other side of the site. I didn't really want to go through. I'm not a whimp or anything. I prefer the term sensitive. I stayed with the group because if I went around they would think I was a whimp, which isn't true.

     Josh seemed to be the newest addition to the group. The other kid, Caleb, took off and hadn't shown himself since. The rest of us were walking towards the abandoned construction site--not an ideal place for kids.

     But I wasn't a kid. The place was an eyesore, but it didn't scare me. It gave me the creeps, sure, but didn't scare me.

     I was walking a little further behind the others. Shaun seemed confident in his abilities to woo Jessi. O got the impression that she wasn't very impressed by him. Chris and Josh seemed to be talking about something, but I was too far back to hear.

I followed the group quietly, listening to the others around me talk. Their conversations weren't really important to me - my mind was still stuck back in the bookstore, musing over the story I had been engrossed in. That tended to happen a lot: the fantasy world was so much more interesting than reality.

As we approached the construction site, though, I felt my attention drawn back to the crowd. If I was being honest with myself (which I rarely was), the place scared me. It seemed like the perfect lair for a serial killer, waiting for unsuspecting kids to pass by. Of course, I didn't show my fear. I was already the only girl, and one of the youngest in the little hodgepodge group that we had formed. The last thing I wanted to do was appear to be the weakest as well. Especially with Shaun around, who I was sure would take advantage of the situation. So, instead of shrinking back from the half-formed buildings and rusted piping, I quickened my pace.

We approached the construction site fairly fast after leaving the mall. I had walked through this site a hundred times before and used to hang here with my friends before it got boring. "Wow I haven't been here in ages, everything is the same but so different. Over there is where I fell of the building and broke my wrist." He said that last part more to himself than anybody. "I used to watch the stars from here it also interested me about whats out there. Okay people i'm going to be totally honest with you in a nerd that isn't a nerd. I am one of those nerds who doesn't get good grades because i'm lazy but I read all the fantasy stuff like with dragons and dwarfs and elves. I have no idea why I am telling you guys this but I feel like I have to do it, it just feels right."

I glance in Shaun's direction briefly. He certainly likes to talk, I thought, rolling my eyes. He reminded me of the jocks at school, bragging about who they had beaten up most recently or the last kegger they had managed to throw without being caught. Shaun was like that, only a much dweebier version.

"So you read fantasy novels," I said under my breath, not really intending for him to hear. "And I spend half my time pretending I live in one. What's the big deal?"
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: gorillaman16 on April 24, 2011, 12:21:19 PM
"There is no big deal, I dunno it's weird I feel like I was supposed to say that and that all of us are supposed to be here. Call me crazy, which you probably will, but this moment us all meeting up and being in one group out in this abandoned construction site just feels right to me. I feel like i'm in a movie or something it's so weird. Okay I'm talking to much now." Shaun said with his face blushing, getting embarrassed.
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: Terenia on April 24, 2011, 12:30:19 PM
"Yeah, you're right," I said bluntly. "You're weird."

I picked up my pace, not wanting to prolong the conversation. I didn't believe in fate, or any of that crap, and Shaun struck me as someone who got a little overly excited about such things. Maybe he's the next Miss Cleo, I thought, grinning to myself as I pictured him in a fortune teller's dress with a crystal ball.

I watched as Jessi started to walk away. "Hey wait don't leave yet." I yelled. I looked up at the stars one last time and could have sworn I saw a shooting star. "Hey guys I just saw a shooting star!" I said pointing at it.

Post by: Terenia on April 24, 2011, 01:13:33 PM
I look up briefly, but between the brevity of my glance and the light pollution I don't see anything.

"Yeah, well, why don't you make a wish, then?" I say. "I have to get home or my parents are going to ground me for the next ten years." I pull my cell phone out of my pocket, glancing at the time stamp. Almost ten o'clock. Man, there's no way I'll make it home by curfew. I unlock the device and bring up my text messages. Quickly, I type a note to my mom, letting her know that I'm running late, before shoving the phone back into my pocket.

I smiled in satisfaction asI saw the andalites die. It was an effortless victory, barely any losses on ourside and every single one of their fighters is plummeting to earth where they would most likely hit water or blown to smithereens.

I felt just plain out of place with this bunch. I really didn't know them that well. I soon realized that I was even heading towards the totally wrong side of town. I didn't live this way... sure, I'd been to the construction site before (what teenage guy hadn't? It was like a rite of passage!) but... I just didn't need to be there tonight. I smacked myself in the forehead as I realized that I'd left my bike at the rack as well. What a moron, I thought to myself. "Well uh... nice talkin' to you guys. I'm on the other side of town, and I'd better get home, too." I started to turn to go, but I stopped. " Y'all are gonna be alright goin' through there by yourselves, right? I don't want to ditch on y'all or anything, but..." He looked back at the mall entrance. His bike was the only one left.

    I had to give Shuan credit; he was persistent. Jessi had  resorted to shedding her polite, shy girl facade and blatantly told him off.

     I liked Shaun. He was funny. And that's not something I say about a lot of kids close to my age.

     We walked through the construction site, most of us were scared. Earlier, one of us made a comment about a shooting star, but I didn't see it. I always miss things like that, you know? I have my head focused on one thing and I miss what's going on around me.

      I looked up at the sky once more.

      Blinking lights. This wasn't a shooting star...It was coming closer.

      I just stood there, gaping at the...whatever it was.

"No. Thank you," I said to Shaun, trying to keep my tone polite. It wasn't working. I glanced back at him as I picked up my pace, hoping that he wasn't -

"Oof, hey!"

This time it was my turn to run into someone. I hit James and rebounded back a couple of steps, almost toppling over a piece of twisted rebar that was poking out of the ground.

"Okay, seriously?" I muttered. I was about to ask James why he had decided to suddenly become a statue, but when I looked at him I saw that his gaze was on the sky. Eyebrows drawing together, I looked up as well, wondering if he had spotted another shooting star. Blinking lights. Huh.

"A plane?" I asked.

...That girl isn't exactly graceful, now is she? I thought to myself. I'd never say such a thing out loud. I looked up casually, following their gaze.

"It looks more like a helicopter. ...It's kinda weird that we can't hear it yet. I'll uh.. see y'all at school, I guess." I waved bye to my cousin, Chris, and headed back the way I came.

     Jessi bumped into me.

     Whatever. I hardy noticed. Whatever that thing was in the sky--everyone else was convinced it was a plane or something--it was coming closer.

     A lot closer. An picking up speed.

     "That's no helicopter." I said, confidently. My grandfather's a veteran. He flew copters. This thing is not from here."

James was right. That thing was not a copter or a plane. I was frozen. Aliens! No... it couldn't be! Just some fancy aircraft. "What! Oh, see ya' Josh. You sure you don't want to see what it is? Looks cool. Must be some sort of new aircraft."

Andalite: My ship was plummeting toward the blue planet. I was probably the only survivor of the crash. It wouldn't be the first time. I had been the only surviving warrior of four crashes. But my luck had run out. a dracon beam had destroyed my engine and I had a huge cut in my stomach. All hope was lost, but then I had an idea. A crazy idea. An insane idea. A brilliant idea. If I could give the morphing power to the humans, they might be able to save themselves. Ive heard that dying people do desperate things but it didn't matter. We could not allow the yeerks to win. So I used my remaining engine to angle in the direction of a large land mass. It was time to show seerows kindness.

     I could see it clearly now. It was shaped like an oval in the middle, with wings at the sides. Dominating the craft was a a threatening tail, poised ad aimed right at us.

     "Anyone else think we should run?" I shouted over my shoulder.

Post by: Blazing Angel on April 24, 2011, 04:28:35 PM
Andalite: The sensors detected several adolecent humans. I was hoping to find soldiers or leaders. But I had to give it to them. Besides if they were to fight the yeerks and hope not to die they would need secrecy and being well known would not help them. I used my training to angle the engine so that It supported the ship and made up for the lost one and came to a gentle stop.

I turned again, coming full circle. Why hadn't I just kept walking? Why hadn't I saved myself from all that craziness?

"Do what?" I asked, not hearing what the others had said. But as I'd turned, I'd caught sight of the whatever-it-was dropping into the construction site, surprisingly quiet.

"Geez! What is that?!" I shouted, startled. I didn't like being startled. "Get down! Hide, or something!" Why were they just standing there? Sure, I wanted to know what it was, but getting killed by this Martian War-Machine wouldn't exactly lead to a good learning experience.

     Josh was a lot smarter than any of us.

     I turned and ran over to a low, concrete wall about twenty feet away. Josh had a point about how stupid it was to just stand around and wait to get crushed by an alien space craft. We could observe behind the wall, without losing any limbs.

At the moment, it was just Chris and I hiding behind that low, concrete wall. I was just about to ask him if he thought our actions would be considered cowardly, but I stopped.

((Woah guys, slow it down a bit please! I'm a busy kid. :P ))

I got snagged...as I expected...but I got away. That, it turns out, is what held me in the area long enough.

It took me a second to fight free. in the end I simply slipped out of my red hoodie and smacked the guy in the nose. I walked off in the dark construction site with my dark owl shirt and dark jeans.

Then I heard voices...it was those guys from the mall! Had they been following me?

Now, why would they follow you?, I asked myself. I was right. I wasn't that special...

I hid behind a building, trying to only let my dark clothes show and not my white face. I heard them talking about something in the sky. I looked up at where they were looking.

"That's not any human ship...", I said, noting that the formation lights were all light blue...

The alien ship crashed, with all the other surrounding it. I walked over from the other side, trying to hide. More from the guys than from the alien that might have come out of the ship. But trying to hide nevertheless.

I felt for my iPod...

Great...the day I met our interstellar neighbors is the day I left my camera home...

     The ship was about fifty feet away from us. Of course, being math-impaired, I couldn't tell exactly how far away it was. And, despite how terrified I was, I wasn't going to run away. For one thing, I didn't want people to think I was a coward. Also, I was not about to walk away from the chance to make contact with aliens.

     But, assuming that this alien was one of the "good guys", and that we actually walked away from this without any harm done to us, who would believe our story.

     I dug into my pocket--keeping one hand on the wall for ballance-- and pulled out my iPhone. I positioned the camera in a way that would guaruntee a full shot of the ship.

One of the kids next to me pulled out his phone. I grumbled internally about my lame-o flip phone. He was gonna take a picture - who could blame him - but he apparently didn't stop to think about the little bit of light that the screen was reflecting back on his face. "Shut that off!

     He was a smart guy, like I said. And I didn't want to be responsible for getting us killed.

     But, just because it was too risky to take a picture, it didn't mean I couldn't still use the phone.

I was silent as those around me discussed the descending object. It quickly became clear that this was no plane or helicopter; at least, it was no plane or helicopter that I had ever seen before. Several of the boys ran to hide behind one of the half crumbling walls, which was probably the smartest idea. Instead of joining them like a reasonable person, though, I stayed rooted to the spot, too awed to move.

A spaceship? Shaun had definitely said spaceship. And while secret government project seemed much more likely, the vehicle definitely looked...well, not human. A real, live spaceship? My stomach roiled with giddiness at the thought of it.

As i landed scanners showed that one was pulling out a piece of machinery. It was a primitive multi purpose device for long distance communication and recording of images. They were not controllers. Every hork bjair had a tracking device implanted in a nasal cavity that could also be used to send a signal to the nearest pool.  It was logical to say that they would do the same with other species. They also spotted another child. The male was hiding in the sahdows and the others didn't seem to notice him. I took a step and grimaced in pain. the wound was getting to me. I had to do this quickly. After typing a short command into a holographic keypad and the entrance hatch slowly slid open. <Hello. I am here to help> And then I collapsed.

     Turns out, she was the most sane of any one of us.

     She just stood there. I mean...she just freaking stood there! She was within touching distance of the ship. Meanwhile, us manly men were all sitting behind a stupid wall.

     "What is she, nuts?" I said to the others.

     It looked as though the others would reply, but were interrupted by the sudden opening of the ship's entrance.

As the alien stepped out, it reassured us it was here to help...

And then it collapsed..

My first instinct was to run. It was so...inhuman. It's body at large was that of a centaur, with a long kangaroo-like tail that was tipped with a scythe-blade. The face had stalk-eyes and no mouth. It's hooves were more deer than horse. But...something drew me to it...

I darted out from behind the ship, and accidentally stood between the iPhone and the spaceship. I tried to help the alien up.

"Come on guys...", I said, as if they had known I was there all along, "We have to help him."

I nearly wet my pants I was so scared when the hatch opened the... creature bfore me looked like a mix of a centaur, a deer, and a scorpion. It was blue with the torso of a humanoid. (That was my star wars geek lingo coming out.) It also had the body of a deer with a wicked looking tail with a blade. Butthe weirdest part was that it had no mouth. That's right, no mouth. Below the to vertical slits that were its nose was... nothing! The four I were weird too. Oh, it had to almond shaped eyes in the right spots but on top of it's head were two eye stalks. I didn't know what to do. When spoke it was almost as if it was in my head, like in Eragon. The it fell and I noticed the gash. I stood and came out from behind the wall. "What... are you? Do you need a doctor?"

     I don't know what scared me most at that moment--the blue centaur, or the kid who seemed to just pop out of freaking nowhere!

     I dropped my iphone, but quickly picked it up and ran towards where the kid--Caleb, I think-- was standing. I could vaguely remember hearing a voice in my head...Someone was offering help...The alien--a weird mix between a human and a deer, weilding some sort of scythe-like tail-- lacked a mouth and had four sets of eyes--two main, two on stalks.

     Was the alien a telepath?

     Suddenly, Chris was offering to take the alien to a doctor.

     "Buddy, I doubt a doctor would be able to help...it."

I looked at the kid, "What, you don't know how to treat a gash? Come here and help me!"

It was the weirdest feeling...it was an alien, I was sure of it. There was no way it was of this earth. But...I felt so calm around it...like it was oozing some sort of air that told you <You don't need to be afraid, because you are to inferior to pose a threat to me.> or something like that...I just felt...at ease...

Maybe that's exactly why I WANTED to help it. I felt more at ease now than I ever did in my life! And I subconsciously didn't want that to go away...I don't know...like I said, I have no idea how to describe it.

"Get over here.", I said, my voice raspy, but cracking as I said here. As if I was choked up.

     Caleb decided to grow a backbone right then. Right when a dangerous looking alien was close enough to us that he could decapitate the two of us in ten seconds flat.

     But you couldn't help but admire the guy.

My face stayed neutral, "I need you to help me prop him up first..."

Then he spoke...he wasn't going to live?

James asked if we heard it, "Yea.", I said simply, as the creature began to explain.

Small blue cube? At a time like this the alien wanted to play video games?

At a time like this, you want to crack a lame joke?, I asked myself.

I walked in cautiously. There it was. Next to some kind of 3d picture...a hologram! It looked like more aliens...family?

The cube glowed slightly. The same light blue as the lights on the outside hull. I picked it up. Strangely heavy. I walked back outside.

"Is..:this it?", I asked holding it out.

When the ship touches down I finally take a step backwards, the backwash from the engines giving me little choice in the matter. I was about to run behind the wall and take cover with the boys, but at that moment the hatch opened and a figure appeared in the doorway.

My first reaction was that centaurs had learned how to fly. My second reaction was surprise and awe that centaurs actually existed. Finally on the third try I began to grasp what it was I was looking at.

"An alien," I whispered to no one in particular. That was when the alien collapsed and everyone decided to leave their hiding spot. I reversed directions, kneeling down next to the creature. Despite the dangerous blade on its tail I was surprisingly unafraid. Even when the alien spoke - in my head, rather than with a mouth - I did not feel fear. It wasn't that I was brave. No, that definitely wasn't it. Something about the alien oozed calm, making me want to help it.

Despite that feeling, something the creature "said" stirred a pang of anxiety within my stomach.

"What do you mean...continued survival?"

I looked at the young innocent female. For the first time I realized exactly what I had to do. I had to ask these innocent children to fight my war. <Your species is being invaded by a different species. They are not like me. They call themselves the yeerks. They are bugs nothing more but they evolved with a terrible ability. Crawling through the ear canal and into your brain they can take over your every thought and action. They are already here. Silently infiltrating the planet, slowly adding more and more "controllers" as their called. They have already conquered other races. That small blue cube is your weapon. If you want to continue being free you need to use it to fight.>

I stared, astonished, jaw open wide, as everyone else up and ran over to the alien. "Oh yes. Great idea. Let's all run to the alien. Maybe it won't abduct us. Or eat us. Or kill us." I muttered from behind the wall, my voice dripping with sarcasm. I pulled out my pathetic flip-phone, and was about to punch in 911, but then I heard the voice, or whatever you'd call it, in my head.

I stood up, and walked forward, slowly. "I don't get it. What is this, War of the Worlds, or what? Little alien bugs are taking over people's brains and trying to conquer the world? Come on. Have you got lightsabers back there, too?" I was being just a little bit difficult at the moment. I was frustrated, confused, and totally out of place. I didn't like to refer to myself as a child really, but I knew that this was something for real adults to handle. Not a bunch of high-schoolers. "Shouldn't we call the cops?"

When the alien stepped out of the spaceship I wasn't afraid of it despite the huge tail that had a blade attached to it. The alien looks like something I wold draw when I got bored. I just can't believe this alien is on Earth. "Wait a second did you say bugs that crawl in my ear canal and control my body? This is so weird but so cool at the same time. There are so many questions that could be asked but I will only ask two. One, what are you? Two, how is that little box going to help us save the world? The cops might have yeerks in their heads we don't know what will happen if we call them so don't."

As much as I hated being around these kids, I knew they were right.

"We can't call for help. If what he's saying is true,", I looked at the alien from the corner of my eye, "Then anyone could be one of them."

I stared at the kid again, then back at the alien as I tried to help it sit up, "Yea, I have a question; why us?"

I raised my eyebrows dubiously. Aliens that invaded your brain? That sounded a little farfetched. Then again, everything about the last ten minutes had been farfetched.

"I don't think we're the right people to ask," I told the alien, echoing the concerns of others. "I mean, we're just kids. We can't do anything about this. If you're telling the truth this is, like, military level stuff." My hand was already in the rear pocket of my jeans, reaching for my iPhone to call for help.

I shuddered those... Yeerks did he call them? Sounded horrible. I normally wouldn't go for believing that aliens were invading, but I was standing right in front of one. "I asked the question first.

"You mean....like, turn into animals?" She has to admit, the idea sounds pretty cool, if not entirely unbelievable. She glances at the other boys to see if they're buying the story. She certainly doesn't want to be the first person to make a decision like this. Especially because something is nagging at her...

     It was a lot to take in.

     Apparently, we were smack in the middle of some intergalactic war between some slugs and blue centaurs. Not only that, but now the same blue centaur who just landed right in the middle of our small town was offering us some bizarre power; a power that would supposedly give us the power to turn into animals.

     As terrified as I was--especially about the whole "my ship's pretty much going to blow up" bit-- I had to admit, the idea was astounding! I mean, assuming none of this wasn't an elaborate prank--you ever see Ashton Kutcher's punk'd?-- then that meant I could be a hawk, or a dog or...

     "What about people?" I asked the alien. "Could we morph other people? Members of our race?"

I thought about the connotation of what he said...we were being invaded by aliens. Parasitic aliens. That control your body. He was offering us a chance to fight back.

My choices were either leave that much alone and get infested eventually, or fight back and probably get infested still...but if we succeed, I have a name for myself...and maybe some self confidence.

"I'm in.", I blurted, "What do I do?"

I was torn that technology would be great but could I fight alien invaders? Then again I felt that I had a duty to the world because I was here.

     Yea, I know. You're thinking what are you, an idiot? Did you forget the teensy weensy part about MIND CONTROLLING ALIENS?

"Look guys let's think about what is happening here. This alien is giving us a chance to save our planet and fight an enemy we can't even see or hope to find. I'm not saying i'm not in but we have no way of finding them and this power can't be used for just anything and we don't know if our families are infested.

Due to the size of this settlement I'd guess it would be centered in either a large empty structure or a small underground cavern.

Other than the fact that for all I knew, this was all a lie. How could I trust this guy. Perhaps this would be a better time to give the benefit of the doubt, however. I hesitated, thinking that this blue cube thingie might be a weapon to hurt us rather than help us, but I reached out towards it anyways.

I stared at the cube, "That's a good question...how does one...operate this thing?"

I reached for it. Instead of picking it up with the tips of my fingers, however, this time I just tested the heat by flattening my palm on it.

"I guess this is how...", I stated.

I accepted his response. It made sense; this morphing stuff makes you tired, and he didn't have the strength to manage ((Why didn't KA go with that?! :huh:)) The alien dude, who I was having a hard time believing when he said he was actually named Lars, earned a bit of trust in my eyes. He seemed to be somewhat surprised by the request to 'acquire' him, yet he went with it anyways. I made contact with the cube. It felt similar to one of those gag pens that zap you just a bit when you click them, except... less startling. My heart beat increased. I hoped that I hadn't just done something really stupid.

Even all this time after, I'm still not sure if that choice was stupid or not. I lean towards the former of the two.

"I'm going to trust you. No offense, but I don't have much reason to right now. For all I know, this just gave me some horrible disease. But I'm.. I'm trusting you..." I said, giving a nod to the Alien as I reached out and touched his shoulder. "Because you're giving of yourself. And um... so ... I just touch you, and... that's it?" I felt half like an idiot for playing along with this, and half like a moron for not knowing what I was doing. Not that I should have known, but... it was awkward.

     Josh, Shaun and that Caleb kid all touched the glowing blue box; one at a time. They then proceeded to acquire the DNA of the Andalite.

     Meanwhile, I found myself growing more excited at the idea of being able to turn into animals. Yea, I was an idiot, now that I look back on that night. As if turning into animals for two hours at a time would make the whole invasion barable. But, I was excited at the time. So, I reached forward and touched the blue cube.

     Besides, all the other kids were doing it.

     After a few seconds I recieved a shock that seemed to surge through my entire body. It wasn't painful. In fact, I almost started laughing.

     "I don't feel different." I said to the alien, examining my hands.

<Good your now ready. The way that you use this new power is relatively simple. To acquire an animal the first step is to make physical contact. ((you guys all started to acquire me before I explained how)) After that focus on the animal. Picture it in your minds eye and you will feel the animals DNA surge into you. After that you can turn into that animal any time by focusing on it. To change back you focus on your true form, your identity. While in morph you will  feel the animals mind and urges under your own. In some cases the instincts can be overpowering to the point that you lose control and forget yourself. You must use this new power to stop the yeerks at all costs. They could be anyone. The andalite fleet will come eventually but they have to fight the yeerks in other galaxies. Now be brave young ones. Go home and I will erase all trace of my existence here tonight>

<Hehe. Yes that's all it takes. I understand that it currently doesn't feel like much. Once you morph you will understand. Now go home. Im going to have the ship self destruct now.> *the screeching of tires and shouting ov voices can be heard* <The yeerks are here! run! run!>

Sub visser 17: I was pulling up with a team of 20 armed hork bjair. From outside the abandoned lot I could see the lights from the andalites ship. With luck we could catch it off guard and I would have an andalite host.

"I'm sorry we couldn't help more. Goodbye." I turned and ran towards the far end of the site. Inthe opposite direction of the Yeerks.

     I felt bad about leaving the Andalite. I think we all did. There was something about him...I don't know. It didn't seem right that he was just going to die like that, so far away from his own planet.

     But I had to watch out for myself now. Everyone else seemed to be doing the same, anyways.

     But I still felt like I should say something to him. Something...

     "Um...live long and prosper?"

     The alien looked back at me, with an almost unreadable expression. I ran over to where Chris had dissapeared, still holding my iPhone. All the while, I wondered: had the phone recorded the thought speech?

((Hehe!? Rofl))

The Andalite told us how to morph...it was a simple process...Chris and Jessi touched the cube after me and the others. I thought about what I had done...I was the first to vote, and had voted positive rather hastily. If we were going to be a team, I would need to think things through before I voted again...

The alien told us to go, "No!", I said, "We can help you!"

     I heard Caleb shouting as I was runnign with Chris. He was still convinced that the alien could be helped.

     I turned around and ran over to him.

     "Don't be a moron! Do you want to die?!"

     I grabbed him by the shoulders and started pulling him a safe distance from the alien.

I jerked my hand away from the cube at the sound of oncoming cars, the squealing of their tires much closer than the distant highway noise. Several of the boys were already running away, and I quickly got back to my feet to follow.

"Sorry..." I whispered to the Andalite, unsure what else I could say. I felt a lump in my throat, but pushed it back. Crying wasn't going to solve anything. I turned and ran, following the others.

Andalite: <be safe young heroes....> They had tried to help me showing they were not cowards. I could not help but feel regret about ruining these childrens lives. But it would be worse if they were taken by the yeerks. I turned towoard the sky. <If your real I know you had a hand in this.> I thought to the ellemist.Then I turned to meet the enemy. <Hello.> I said to a  huamn male followed by a pack of hork bjair.

Sub visser 17: I had caught the andalite. It was easy. He was lying there wounded but we could heal him. And better yet he was holding the escafil device. But then he said something that caught me off guard. He greeted us calmly with no fear. Andalite arrogance apparently went to the point where he thought he could escape this. "Heelo? Really?" I said grinning. "Your wounded, your ship is damaged, and your going to be infested. But you greet us like old friends.

Andalite: The yeerk was a****y due to finding me in my current condition but he didnt think that I would die to avoid infestation  <I dont think its an impossible situation.> I said to the human whos smile was instantly gone. <Computer activate force fields.> The instant that came out the human rushed forward and pounded on the invisible wall.

Sub Visser 17: "NO! NO! NO! NO!" I lost control I had the andalite in my clutches but I let my own smugness got the better of me.

Andalite: <Goodbye. Computer self destruct sequence.>

I don't even remember what happened next. I heard tires squealing, and someone said 'Run'. So I did. I was running alongside the others, only half there, (half back at the alien, still trying to get some answers).

"Where are we going?" I asked.

When I heard the cars I looking in that direction then when I was told to run I stayed back the longest I felt like it was my duty to be the last one to leave. "I'm sorry, you will not die in vain, I will complete what you started." I said right before I turned and ran from the controllers getting ever so closer. While I was running away I heard a voice scream 'NO!' and I made sure to never forget that voice and I never will.

     It all happened so fast...

     We were watching the scene unfold behind a low concrete wall. A dozen...dinosaur looking things...appeared out of no where with a human! These were the Yeerks. I was sure of it.

     The Human was laughing at the Andalite's misfortune. He was boasting about how he would infest the Andalite himself.

     The Andalite ordered the ship to turn on the forcefields. He told it to self destruct!

Andalite: <4, 3>

Sub vissser 17: "DO SOMETHING!"

Andalite: <2, 1>

BOOM!

Moments later in z space

Ellemist: I stared at the blue creature standing in front of me. He was staring back in a similar way not intimidated. "Larz I would like to thank you for passing on the morphing power to those kids."

Larz: <So it was you who brought them to me. Nothing good is ever just on its own does it?>

Ellemist: "You could say that but I prefer to remain positive about things. I actually have a propostion for you."

Larz: < a proposition?>

Ellemist. "Yes, my arch enemy the crayak has long had a messanger he calls the drode. The drode can influence decisions. I need someone like you, someone whos presense by itself makess people calmer."

Larz: <I'll do it. Its either this or death anyway.>

I shouted at the kid holding me back, "Go! I'll be right behind you!"

I lept from his arms and toward the alien before he activated the self destrcut. I clutched his upperthigh and concentrated on his form. I felt a calm wash up on me. When I was done, I was almost too dazed to haul-butt out of their when a human and a band of...Hork-Bajir...approached. But I did. I hoped beyond hope they hadn't seen me.

As I exited the construction site I heard an explosion behind me. I gave a last sigh, and hurried after the group...

     The Andalite died...Like a hero he sacraficed himself. I had only known him for less than half an hour, but he left a huge impact on my life. He wouldn't let the Yeerks take him. He wouldn't become a host. So he took his life.

     Now the Yeerks were getting pretty upset.

     There were about a dozen of them, or more. Only three of them were humans--not including the one who had spoken to the Andalite. There were seven other creatures, too. These creatures were seven feet tall and covered in blades! They had feet like talons, and a head that gave me the impression of a fat green--almost black-- python.

     Beside the walking metal dinosaurs was a group of bloated, seven foot tall worms, with legs like pins. They were about as thick as a redwood tree, and held the upper third of their bodies errect. Jelly eyes that reminded me of something I ate at a family reunion once. But most shocking of all were the rows and rows of sharp, triagular teeth.

     I thought that we'd be safe behind the wall. I thought that the Yeerks would have just figured the Andalite died alone, and that the construction site was empty.

     Then someone went screaming into the dark.

     Suddenly, about a dozen pairs of monstrous eyeballs that looked like nothing I had ever seen on earth looked over the area we had all been hiding behind.

     "Yea...I think I'll catch you folks later." I said to the others. "I don't feel like...you know, getting killed tonight."

     So I ran after the person

     I lived pretty far from the mall. My house was on the other side of town--that's a good half hour walking distance.

     I managed to get home in about twenty five minutes. You'd be surprised how fast one can run when he or she is running like hell! I didn't dare look over my shoulder. I'm no fool. See, I've seen all those dumb horror movies, where the main character is running and running and running, and the bad guy in the cheesy mask is chasing them. You just know the idiot is going to trip over a rock or something that just happened to be sitting there. So I just looked at the ground the entire time, hoping that the dinos and the centipedes were a lot slower than they appeared to be.

     Eventually, I got to my front door. It was only then that I stopped to check if I was being followed. So far, there was nobody in sight. Good, I thought. Maybe I lost them.

     My mom was on the couch in the sitting room. She turned to see who had opened the door.

     "You alright?" She asked. "You look like you ran a marathon."

     "Hah." I said, forcing a smile.

     I walked up the stariway to my room, brushing past my younger brother on the way.

     "Hey, watch it." He snapped.

     "JUST SHUT UP AND GO TO YOUR STUPID LITTLE GROUP!" I shouted.

     He looked surprised by that. Mom just looked mad.

     "James--" She began.

     "Save it. I'm already going to my room!" I said.

     I walked into my bedroom and closed the door behind me.

     Then, I shut off the lights and crawled into my bed.

     I fell asleep about three hours later, armed with a flashlight and a hockey stick.

When I heard Caleb and James run and scream I knew it was time to move. My house wasn't that close to the mall so I had a while to go I ran for like ten minutes then made sure I wasn't being followed I entered the trail in the woods that leads towards my house. It took me about twenty minutes to make it back to my house when I got home my mom was waiting for me. "where have you been?" she asked. "Out." wasn't reply. I'm surprised she didn't tear my head off when I said that but I just went to my room like nothing eclvef happened. I took a shower and wondered what was going to happen tomorrow then went to sleep wondering how my life would change after this.

I lived near the construction site so i didnt have more than five minutes to run. When I got home My parents had gone to bed already which was surprising. I locked all doors and windows. Then I got out my broken golf club, because metal rods can do some damage. I also got my airsoft pistol and my pocket knife because they felt good to heft. I sat in bed and watche my bedroom door for at least three hours before I fell asleep.

I made it home alive, somehow. I don't quite remember how; I just remember running as fast as I could in the direction of my house and hearing terrifying noises of pursuit behind me. My mind kept roiling over the last few minutes. I just saw someone die, I realized. For me. For us. The thought made me sick. Who were these Yeerks to cause so much destruction?

When I finally trudged through the garage door of my house I knew I was in trouble. My brothers and father were already in bed, but my mother stood waiting, her arms crossed and a furious expression on her face.

"Jessica Robin." she began tautly. " Just where do you think you get off? It is forty-five minutes after your curfew, young lady."

I winced, mumbling something that I hoped sounding enough like an apology.

"Give me your phone," my mother demanded. Without protesting I handed the device over. I was too exhausted to argue. "Now go to bed," she continued, pointing towards the stairway that led to the second floor. "Your father and I will discuss this in the morning."

With a half-hearted nod I turned away and trudged up the stairs. When I reached my bedroom I didn't even bother flicking the lights on or changing into my pajamas. I stumbled over to my bed and collapsed into it, fast asleep almost immediately.

I ran. And I screamed. I don't know why, I just screamed. My life had just taken a turn for the insane. I had been calm for this whole time, but now it all came out.

I ran. I was normally pretty fast, but now? I felt like a cheetah...

I looked back halfway across the street to my house. No one was there. Had it all been a dream?

As I opened the door my family was there, watching a movie. My dad looked at me, his face neutral. My mom was clearly annoyed. Before they could say anything, I said, "I lost track of time. Opened a book. You know how it is."

I went into my room and shut the door, planning to change into pajamas. But instead, I just slumped on my bed and fell asleep, waiting for the next day.

     My eyes flew open.

     Where was I?

     Oh yea...Bedroom. Aliens. Morphing...

     Hard to imagine that it had happened...well, according to the clock, eight hours ago. You'd think a guy who had just discovered aliens would have found sleep hard to come by. And yet, I slept like a freaking baby. No nightmares about those razorblade wielding aliens and their fat, worm-like coparts. In fact, I couldn't remember my dream.

     But the images from the previous night were still fresh in my mind--too fresh, too clear. The way the Andalite smiled at me, despite not having a mouth. The way his blue form just seemed to melt away into the air, like it hadn't been there at all.

     I got up from my bed and walked over to the windows. Looking down at the town, I could see that nothing had changed. And yet, everything had changed. The town looked the same. But the people...

     My neighbours weren't my neighbours anymore. My family...probably not my family anymore. The mail man...How could I have missed it? Of course the mailman! And the taxi drivers, too. All too alien to be normal...

I woke with a start.

I had fallen face first on my bed last night. I woke up, twisted, and almost fell out of bed.

I thought of the events last night...they had felt so real...but nothing that wild would ever happen to me. My luck was not that good.

Good luck? Finding a centaur alien warrior crashed in an abandoned construction site who warns us about slimy slugs controlling our minds, and already have captured huge worms with teeth and seven foot tall lizards with blades is good luck to you?

I shook my head, trying to forget that which had probably been a dream. Had I screamed? My throat hurt slightly...

I jumped out of bed and prepared to get ready for school...and then I remembered it was Saturday((lol, I typed saturday before you guys said it was a saturday. :P)). It was sunny and the birds were chirping, so I made my bed and took a shower, planning to head to the construction site.

I opened the front door and the crisp fresh air wafted in, "Mom, I'm going for a walk, I'll be back."

"OK, not to long though.", she said.

I nodded, though she wasn't there, "I know. See ya.", I walked outside at a leisurely pace for the construction site. I hoped I would not run into any of the others there...

     I had slept in my clothes that night. So I was still wearing my jeans and t-shirt when I went downstairs for breakfast.

     "You slept in your clothes." My mother commented.

     "No, duh." I mumbled back in retort.

     I'm not usually cranky at breakfast. I went through that whole "don't talk to me, I'm a badass teenager" phase at fourteen. Eventually, I grew up and learned that maybe, just maybe, the world didn't revolve around me. So, I wasn't such a little...well, I guess badass would be the G-rated word for what I was at fourteen.

     "What was that?" My mother asked, eyebrows raised.

     "Nothing. Sorry." I said. "Just...rough night."

     "Yea, well your father and brother were out late last night, too. THEY aren't acting like they woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

     I shrugged. "Whatever."

My eyes snapped open. I was lying on my back, in the exact same position I had collapsed in hours before. The sun was shining through my open blinds, illuminating my bedroom. With a groan I rolled over and reached for my phone, checking the time. Early. Earlier than I was usually up. I threw my phone down onto my pillow and reached for the second item that always sat on my nightstand: my journal and pen.

Flipping it open to a fresh page with the kind of autonomy that arises from months of practice I set the tip of the pen to paper and thought back to my night. It had become common practice for me to record my dreams; I had done it since I was six years old and my mother had bought me my first journal for Christmas. Usually there was no lack of information when I woke up in the mornings, and I had filled a half dozen of the books with disjointed adventures. Today, though, nothing came to my mind.

No dreams? I wondered. Then I thought back a little further. The construction site. The alien. The strangers and acquaintances from school and I, all accepting some weird power to help save the world.

I frowned and snapped the journal shut. It was all very Captain Planet. Kind of a bummer, as far as dreams go, really. It sounded more like something out of a comic book, or a bad Saturday morning cartoon. Not worth writing down.

With a sigh I tossed the journal back onto my nightstand and pulled myself out of bed, covering a yawn as I headed towards the bathroom.

     "Any plans today?" Mom asked.

     "Nope."

     "Your brother's going out." She said.

     "Ah."

     "Why don't you think about joining a youth group?"

     I gave her a look that said, really? We're having this conversation again?. "It's not for me."

     "I'm just saying that your brother's met a lot of friends through the group. You should at least think about it."

     I rolled my eyes. "Yea...I'll make a note of it." I told her, somewhat defensively.

    After breakfast, I headed back up to my room to change into some clean clothes. As I was about to pull down my jeans, I remembered my iPhone was still in my pocket. And that's when I remembered that I had recorded the events from the previous night!

     I pulled out my iPhone, deactivated the passcode, and pressed my index finger on the little irecord app box.

     I listened in silence...

     Then...voices--Josh, Caleb, Jessi, Chris...All of us, really.

     All of us except the disembodied voice of the Andalite.

After I ate my food I went back to my room to get dressed into some better clothes. I put on my natural stuff, a t-shirt and some jeans. Then I called my mom and told her I was going out for a while and I would be back later. I took my bike out and decided to see if I could figure out which house James lived in around the block. I locked my door before I left put my headphones in my ears and rode my bike down the street. I was about ten houses in when I decided I might as will give up after this next one. I walked up to the front door and knocked hoping this was the right house.

     Nothing! Zip! Nadda! Zilch!

     I assumed that something that would suggest the existence of an intergalactic, mind-enslaving race on Earth would have been captured on my iPhone. But all I got was a couple of kids, talking to themselves. I didn't even get a voice recording of the human controller that talked to the Andalite. See, I only had soo many gigabytes on my phone, and most of that space was taken up by photos and music.

     "Great." I mumbled, tossing my iPhone on my bed. "Just when I thought technology would come in handy..."

     I leaned against the window and noticed Shaun knocking on my neighbour's door.

     I opened the window and shouted, "Oi! Shaun!"

Post by: TobiasMasonPark on April 29, 2011, 08:47:34 PM
     I nodded. "Yea, I'll be down in just a sec." I shouted back, before my neighbour--Old-man Jacobs-- opened the door to find a teenager on his front porch, demanding if James was home. Jacobs was cranky. Enough said.

     I left my bedroom, walked down the stairs and passed my mom to open the door and let Shaun in.

I looked at the spot where the andalite had lain in my dream/adventure.I wasn't sure if it had been real or not, so i just decided to call it my dream/adventure.

Anyway, there was nothing there. Nothing. Either it hadn't ever been there, or all trace of it had been wiped. I decided the former was more logical.

I started walking down the street, and I found that I had ended up near James' house; shaun was just walking into it.

I wanted to say hi...to ask if they remembered...if it had all been more than just a nightmare. But what if it hadn't? Then they would barely know me, for one thing. And they would think I'm crazy for having dreams about them, and alien centaurs, slugs, worms, and lizards. So I just quickened my pace to see if they would spot me before they went inside...

I put on some cargo pants and a t-shirt, the usual, and head out. "I'm going for a bike ride." "Okay, Chris." My mom was still half asleep. I got on my bike and started pedaling. I wasn't sure who to see first. Josh or James. I decided on James. When I had looked him up in the school directory he was closer than my cousin.

"Thanks James. Wait is that Caleb? Hey Caleb where are you headed?" I asked as casually as I could. "Please tell me you guys know where everybody else from last night is because we need to do something about this, but first James can we go to your room so nobody over hears us?"

I heard Saun call my name. I was half surprised when he didn't tell me to get lost, but rather to come in and talk with them. It must be about last night...had it all been real?

I slowly walked up on their porch, and walked in the front door. I followed James' and Saun's voices to James' bedroom.

I peeked in, "H-hey guys. What's up?", I asked as casually as I could.

     Cale, Shaun and I were just a quarter of the way up the stairs to my bedroom when the doorbell rang...twice.

    "Aren't I popular today?" I said, walking back down the stairs to open the door.

     I opened the door to see Chis.

     "Don't tell me! You're hear to talk about yesterday's assembly, right?"

I searched, "Jessi, [WHATEVER SCHOOL WE GO TO]."

I pressed enter. After a few seconds, the search popped up with a few facebook pages.

"Hmm...", I thought. I clicked the first one, and looked at the profile pic. Not her...next? Not her...next? DEFINITELY not her...next? Ummm...

"Strange...", I thought out loud, "It's like it was put there for us."

I immediately regretted those words. They just sounded...well, plain stupid.

I cleared my throat and got out my iPod to type out the number.

Once finished, I turned to James, handing him my iPod, "Ok. Go ahead and call he."

     Suddenly, my dog waltzed into the room. He wasn't very big--bigger than a Chiuahaha, obviously, but not as big as a retriever. But he had a lot of energy. And right now, he was jumping around the room, shaking his tail like a bunch of fleas had set up camp.

"Um...I hadn't tried no...but...", I desperately didn't want to tell them. But I desperately wanted to tell them!

"Uh...nevermind...", I turned to the computer again, seeing if he had any games...

I wanted someone else to know that I might have the DNA of an alien from another world in me. But if they knew, they'd tell me to...become it...what if morphing hurt? What if I did it wrong and...lost my form? Or even died! My heart beat quickened as I expected someone to press the issue...

     Call me paranoid. But I just couldn't shake the thought that Caleb was hiding something from us. But Chris volunteered to try morphing out first, so I guess that little suspicion could wait.

"Well...I mean, I-I'm not even sure if...if it worked...when you tried to pull me away from the alien last night and I broke free? I...grabbed the alien and tried to uh...acquire his DNA..."

I saw James begin to turn away as i told him, but it just rushed out. I could've avoided it, and got Chris to try first...but now...

     I looked back and forth between Caleb and Chris. Both seemd to want to morph first.

     Now, I'm not one to make decisions. In fact, I've never actually had to make a difficult decision. But something told me that Caleb morphing a very large, probably heavy, half deer, half humanoid alien from mars wouldn't be good for the hardwood bedroom floors.

     My dog...

     The kid wanted to touch my dog...acquire it's DNA...and turn into an exact copy of my dog. Something about that just seemed...odd. But, seeing as we didn't have anything else but a dog-- a King Charles Cavelier Spaniel, yo be precise-- I guess I had little choice in the matter.

     "Um...I guess you'll be morphing Charlie." I said, kneeling next to my dog. All the while I was wondering if the morphing experience would hurt Charlie...Yea, I was worried for Chris. But I loved Charlie.

     Poor little floppy-eared guy. He just thought Chris was going to pet him.

     ((Dog has mostly black and white fur. It's long, not curly. There's a picture I can send if that helps with your description...Or, I could describe the changes we see in you through my narration. Your pick.))

"Thanks James. Trust me I wish I was trying this with my own dog."
I stepped forward and began petting Charlie.
"He just said to focus on the animal right?"
I focused on the black and white dog to acquire it.
I took my hand away from the dog and stood in the middle of the room.
"And then just focus on becoming the animal. Right?"
I closed my eyes and began to image myself becoming the dog.
After thirty seconds or so, "Am I doing it wrong?"

I glared at Caleb. I tried focusing on the image of becoming Charlie again. My head started itching and a few of my joints cracked but that was usual for me.

I trudged downstairs, past the living room where my brothers were engrossed in some television show that didn't interest me, and to the kitchen. A look in the pantry told me that there was nothing of worth.

"Where's mom and dad?" I called out to my brothers.

"Breakfast!" Eric called back.

"When did they leave?"

"I don't know, awhile ago."

I sighed, checking the clock on the stove. If my parents were following their usual Saturday morning ritual they wouldn't be home for another hour or two. Unenthused, I grabbed a Pop Tart and yanked it out of the foil. Taking a big bight, I wandered back into the living room, leaning against the wall and watching my brothers for a moment. My black lab, Angel, trotted over, sniffing at my cold Pop Tart hopefully.

"What're you watching?" I demanded.

"Nothing," Sean looked over at me and stuck out his tongue. I rolled my eyes.

"Look, did mom and dad seem...um...really angry when they left?" I asked.

"No, why? Are you in trouble?" Eric joked. He knew that out of the three of us I was the least likely to actually get in trouble for something. I didn't answer. The Pop Tart tasted bland in my mouth, and I felt a nagging sense that something was wrong. Something beyond my parents being upset about breaking curfew.

"I'll be in my room," I said abruptly, taking a large bite out of my Pop Tart and running back up the stairs. The first thing I did was check my phone. One missed call, from an unfamiliar, but local, number. I unlocked the device and hit redial.

The phone began to ring...

     It was weird...

     One minute, Chris was standing in front of Shaun, Caleb and me. The next minute, he was growing fur all over his freaking body! Black and white fur that covered his arms and legs. He was actually morphing! I mean... he was actually freaking morphing--turning into another animal!

     Turning into my dog! My dog. And it was disgusting, too! It was the most abnormal thing that I've ever had to see. His flesh turned into black fur for crying out loud! And he suddenly got this stooped looked about him, like his spine suddenly curved. Then, he was down on all fours, shrinking. His clothes no longer fit him; they just hung off whatever was left of his semi-human frame. The fur--black at the top, white under the belly and on his legs-- covered his entire body now. His ears had become floppy and slid up the side of his head. His face protruded forward, turning into a snout. His eyes narrowed and bulged. He had light brown eyes, now.

     Then, the last change: a white, ever-wagging tail.

     It took about three whole minutes, but he had perfected the morph. He was a dog! He turned into Charlie!

     Next thing I knew, Caleb had answered the phone.

I looked at the other and ****ed my head he smell like me and that was confusing. I walked around the sniffing. This entire place smelled like me. I wagged my tail ignoring the dog that smelled like me.

"Uh, yeah, who is this?" I asked as soon as someone picked up the other line. "I got a call from this number a few minutes ago."

I plopped back onto my mattress, playing idyly with a strand of hair while I waited. Both of my dogs wandered into the room behind me and took up their usual positions: Bingo at the foot of the bed, Angel by my pillow.

I looked at James, still holding the phone, "It's Jessi. Go ahead and tell her."

I tried to hand it to him.

    Jessi sounded a tad bit creeped out over the phone.

     "How'd you get my cell number? What do you want?"

     Alright...So she sounded very creeped out.

     "Are you alright? You sound...off."

Post by: Terenia on May 03, 2011, 05:34:24 PM
"What do you mean 'am I alright'?" I pulled the phone away from my ear for a second and stared at it like perhaps the small, black device would tell me what was going on. When it offered no explanation I tapped the 'speaker-phone' button and collapsed backwards onto my bed. "Of course I sound off. It's like, ten in the morning on a Saturday and some kid from school who I've barely ever talked to suddenly has my cell number. Did Alana give you my number? What's going on?"

     I paused, wondering if I should mention the word alien.

     "When we lost our friend?"

I jumped slightly in surprise as Chris' voice came into my mind. But I hadn't thought it.

"Uh, James...did he just..."

I was interrupted by Chris again, asking if the person on the phone was Jessi. James just nodded and scratched his dog-ear nonchalantly. Chris' voice suddenly asked if we could hear him.

"Yea...loud and clear. How are you doing that?", I asked, looking over his new form.

I trotted over and nudged to door closed. Then I went back to the middle of the room and focused on becoming me again. Slowly, ever so slowly, the fur and tail disappeared and my legs righted themselves. My ears returned to their proper places and my nose shluuuped back into my face. Three minutes after I started I was standing in the middle of James' room in the nude. Being the calm and patient guy I am I rushed to get my clothes back on.

I let that sink in. Anyone could be a...controller. That's what the Andalite had called them. A Yeerk host. My mom. My dad. My sister. My animals all had brains, maybe they even took my cat or my lizards...

I dismissed that thought. The only person stupid enough to get caught by aliens would be my sister...but she wasn't that dumb either. At least I hope not.

     Chris had a point. I could deffinitely see Yeerks using places like the local gym or youth group as a means of acquiring hosts.

     Definitely worth some investigating.

     "Good point, Chris." I said. "Put that on the agenda, too, gang. Scope out any places that might seem suspicious to you...Places where people go every three days."

I was adjusting pretty well, considering that moving to a completely different part of the country is usually considered traumatic to anyone. I deserved some slack. I knew absolutely no one here, all my friends were back home. It was still home, even though we didn't live there anymore. My mother understood this pretty well. She got tossed around alot when she was my age.

I was walking around the area, at the moment through an old construction site. Something caught my eye. It was a strange blue box, unmistakeably blue, about 4x4 inches. When I picked it up, it was very heavy. Something about it made me put it in my bag and start home fast. Whatever this was, I'd figure it out. Maybe I could even make a few bucks for it on ebay.

Halfway through my hosts coffee break at the trucking company a memory hit me hard enough to make me spit out a capachino all over one of the drivers. After a hurried apology about the drink being too hot I rushed into mmy office and pushed on a picture of myself standing in front of the building on opening day. A small microphone popped out and I nearly screamed "Keep an eye on all local areas where an andalite could acquire a dangerous morph! Capture anyone acting abnormal!" After that I collapsed into a leather chair breathing deeply in relief. If I had allowed any animals to be acquired they wouldn't bother with kadrona starvation, they'd throw me into Z-space.

     "Alright...Just stay put. And try not to make any noise."

     I was about to leave the room, when I got an idea.

     "Someone hold the dog. I'm going to morph."

     I walked over to my bed, where Charlie was sitting by the pillow. I started to pet him and concentrated very hard. I focused on the brown patches around his mouth, and the black and white of his fur. I concentrated on the tail--ever wagging.

     Charlie fell into the trance for the second time. I had successfully acquired him. Now to morph...

     I looked over at Chris--the only one of us who had morphed. I don't think it hurt him...But maybe it was different from person to person? Maybe it worked like an allergy. I might not be allergic to peanuts, but someone esle in the room might...

     I closed my eyes, and I formed a mental picture of my dog in my head.

     King Charles Cavelier Spaniel...White fur...black fur...tail...good sense of smell...

     I started to shrink.

     It wasn't anything like falling. It felt like the ground was rushing up towards me. And, the strangest thing was, that I was still me. I was still human...Just four inches or so shorter...

     Then, I fell on to my hands and feet. My clothes had completely covered me as I changed. My spine shifted into a different shape, and I lost bone mass. Organs shifted, or else dissapeared all together. Fur sprouted all over my body--a magnificent mix of black, white and brown.

     My face shot forwards, forming into a snout, and the shape of my eyes changed.

     A tail shot right out of my spine! It was crazy! I was growing fur and a tail simultaneously! Morphing was so...illogical...It didn't seem to be happening bit by bit...

     Eventually, the changes stopped. The last part of me to change was the senses--especially the sense of smell! I wanted to smell everything! Caleb's shoes. Whatever Chris ate for breakfast this morning! The stain from when I dropped a can of soda about three weeks ago--still fresh!

     I looked up at the people in the room. I wanted to jump, smell and play with them all. I wanted one of them to pet my head. Scratch the spot behind my ear! I wanted to...

     THERE WAS A DOG IN THE ROOM!

     A DOG IN THE ROOM! I wanted to smell him to!

     But was he friendly? Or was he a mean dog, like the terrier down the street? The tiny dog that kept barking at me whenever my master took me for a walk.

     "James, can you hear me?"

     Wait...James? Wasn't that?

     I burried my head in my paws. I lost control of the morph.

     How did Chris communicate with us again? He used the same speech as the Andalite: thoughts. Maybe I could just...think at him?

     <Good thinking.> I told Chris, jumping off the bed. <Just make sure Charlie doesn't follow me out.>

      I walked out of the bedroom, just before Chris closed the door. I trotted down the stairs like the dog I was--a little bounce in my step. I could already smell the person in the house--that's how great my sense of smell was! Whoever it was, they smelled of shampoo and deoderant. It was a very strong men's deoderant that was familiar to the human part of my brain; heightened by the dog's own superior sense of smell.

     I reached the last step and turned the corner into the sitting room. Someone was moving around. A tall someone; bent over and digging for something in the coffee table drawers.

     I barked.

     The person jumped.

     It was my younger brother.

     "Stupid animal." He snarled. "Scared the hell out of me."

     He grabbed something from behind him and shut the drawer. He walked away, without petting me, towards the door.

     His hand was on the door knob, but he hesitated.

     "James!" He shouted. "James, you here?"

     Oh crap!, I thought to myself. I bounded back up the stairs. My brother was already half way up to my room.

     <Guys. It was my brother.> I shouted, hoping my brother couldn't hear my thought speech. <He's coming up! Nobody move!>

     I did something very un-Charlie like. I bit my brother on the ankle.

     "ArrrrrrgggggggHeell! What the hell! Charlie!" He snapped, shaking his leg to throw me off. I bit harder, forcing him on to his knees.

     I loosened my grip on my brother's ankle and ran up towards my bedroom door.

     Had to demorph and fast.

     Chris closed the door behind me. I could already hear my brother getting up. He was really mad now.

     I focused on my human body--I'm pretty sure that's how we were supposed to demorph.

     The fur covering my body started to shoot back into my skin.

His brother was walking up the stairs? James' brother?

Oh god...

As James warned us, Chris hid behind the door. I couldn't find any place, so I used my somewhat smallness to squirm under his bed. Kind of strange, sure, but James didn't really even know me, much less hang out with me. If his brother saw me it would raise suspicion, even just a little. And there was his bed...

From under I watched as Chris opened the door for James. And as James demorphed, I looked away. Apparently you can't morph clothes.

James' brother was coming up to the room! I looked for a place to hide but then decided I would look more suspicious if I hid from him so I decided I'd better just do what I do best and think on my feet when he gets here. I looked away while James demorphed because we can't morph clothes, which is very unfortunate for when we need to go places.

I stared out from under the bed...waiting...wai ting...things always seemed to take longer when you were afraid.

What if his brother spotted me? Was he one of them? Would it be LESS suspicious to be on the bed? Maybe I should morph?

He wont see you. The chances are small that he's a controller. You should stay hidden, and NO, NO, NO! Morph? You idiot...

There you go, arguing with yourself again...

I closed my eyes momentarily to clear my head. Then I went back to being as quiet as I could.

     I had completed the morph back to my human body. I was naked, but human again. I managed to get all my clothes back on when my younger brother opened the door.

     "Ever hear of knocking?" I snapped.

     "Knocking? Knocking? Your demon dog just bit me!" He shouted. "Look at my ankle!"

     He pulled down his socks and revealed a rather large bite mark. It wasn't bleeding, but it did look really raw. I'd have to explain that one to mom later on, because my brother was probably going to whine about it some more.

     "Well you must have done something to piss Charlie off." I told him, all the while catching glimpses of Caleb and Chriss in their various hiding places.

     "Who's this?" My brother nodded at Shaun.

     "No one." I said, quickly. "Guy from school."

     He eyed Shaun for a bit. "Never seen him before."

     "Well he was just dropping something off." I mumbled. "What's it to you? Do I ever interrogate you when your friends come over?"

     "Whatever." My brother replied. "Just keep the freaking dog on a leash or something."

     He walked out.

I went down the stairs and out the door. It wasn't a long bike ride. I told my parents that I had been on a bike and then headed to my bedroom. I made sure to acquire my dog and my rat. Then I decided to read a book to pass the time. I was working on "1984" by George Orwell. It was assigned reading for the summer but I had decided to get a head start. After all summer was near. ((Is it Okay for me to say that?))

I nodded to James and his friends. I walked down the stairs. I felt kind of sad. I mean, I only had one or two friends in school. Leaving I felt like I might not see them again...what if this ENTIRE thing was a dream? I mean...aliens. Secret meetings. Nevermind saving the world.

I exited the building, and started walking home again. I hoped Jess wasn't in trouble. She seemed smart...she might've been a good part of the 'team'.

I rolled my eyes despite myself. I was trying to reason with myself why I cared so much for her...for any of them actually. It was all selfish. I wanted friends, and I wanted them badly. I hung my head and tried to forget it all. I also wanted to be part of something big...like this war or whatever. It sounded important.

I hmphed at myself and continued walking.

     I watched the guys leave from my front porch. They all seemed, to me at least, pretty downcast. I guess that had something to do with our suddenly becomming heroes over night...Not that I considered myself to be much of a hero...

     I walked back into my house and grabbed my keys from the jar on the desk in the sitting room. I locked the door and began my long, lonely walk to our town Zoo.

I was feeling very conflicted as I walked home. What would happen if I just...let it all go. Forgot, or quit? Could I make a difference? I hadn't even morphed yet. What if I was an inefficient morpher, or ineffective in battle? What if...

Yea, a whole night gone by, part of it with a blue alien centaur telling you about the invasion of earth by mind-controlling slugs, and just now you realize you might just be killed if it gets violent.

I shook my head. Why couldn't I think straight? I walked even faster home. But when I got there, I immediately turned for the forest close to the area...I planned to...practice my morphing. Maybe acquire some bugs, lizards, birds. And then morph them...and the centaur.

i sat on a bench at a bus stop across the street from where caleb was walking as he started for the forest. i looked at the note in my hand, reading the description of the boy i saw before me. he seemed a bit distracted and definitely not as paranoid about security as i would have expected. i mean, i wasn't exactly being discrete, i was simply watching him wander around.

how i got my note with the description of two of the animorphs, well, that's sort of a secret. you see, i'm the one people call when the need something. my yeerk discovered my expansive network of connections the moment i was infested. she used that to her advantage for a long time. then she was recruited by the peace movement. we've been pretty good friends ever since

<well? we gonna go talk to him?> i asked my yeerk, salinth 069

<he'll be back. hopefully in about two hours or so. he is expected for dinner anyways.>

<you think he'll listen to us?>

<we'll find a way. besides, he needs to know that they need to be more careful in the future. they were lucky this time. next time, who knows...>

Post by: RAFrukh on August 17, 2011, 03:13:27 AM
((Mind if I kick-start this thing?? *gets doctor outfit on*))

I stopped at the first tree and examined it momentarily. Trees had DNA...could they be acquired? Why would I want to be a tree anyways?

I shook my head and wandered deeper into the forest. Further...and further...until I was about a mile in. I had no idea how I was going to get back. Maybe one of the creatures I acquire will have a sense of direction. I sure didn't.

I sat on a rock in the small clearing with a vernal pool, some nice trees and bushes, and a lot of rocks to hide under.

"Where are you, you little critters...", I said to no one.

Yep. My best friends are animals. Great.

But all that might change if I was with these...acquaintanc es of mine.

I saw a bird land a few feet ahead. I knew I had no chance of acquiring it. I'm not very light on my feet. I only had one morph to practice, and I had to make sure NO ONE was around to see it. Seeing a boy turn into a bird or an ant or an anole is bad enough. Seeing a boy turn into a blue centaur? Cover = Blown Big Time.

I breathed deep. There! A beetle. I reached down and scooped it up. It was a usual beetle. Cute for a bug. Well, not that all bugs were ugly but beetles were especially cute. Anyway...I focused on the beetle. Absorb it. It's DNA. I want it's DNA. I need it's DNA.

The bug was still for a moment, and then began stumbling about. That was the acquisition trance. I put the beetle down in a safe place.

I breathed deep again, and focused once more on the beetle. Be the beetle. Become the beetle.

Crrrrrunnch! Hard wing-cases slid out from my shoulders.

"Aah!", I yelled. It wasn't painful, but...well, you try having nice big beetle wing growing from your back. It's creepy and unpleasant. But then my vision was gone! No! I was helpless! Had something gone wrong!? It was replaced by a fractured-glass view of the world.

"Oh of course, compound eye." I tried to say. Actually it came out more like, "Scree click-click screeeya."

At this point I panicked. I was stuck mid-morph and I couldn't take deep breaths.

Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god!

I reverted back to my human form. Bugs and humans are just so...different.

Der-duh-der. You knew that stupid., I told myself.

I sat down again, feeling like a failure. Something more mammalian was how I would start.

Finding that I couldn't  concentrate on the book with all that had happened, I decided to head to the pet store. They usually let you pet some of the animals. I headed downstairs. "Mom! I'm going downtown!" I called as I left. After retrieving my bike from the garage I headed down the street after ten or so minutes I locked his bike outside the pet shop and headed inside. Looking around I noticed the ferret cage and walked over. He reached in and stroked one of the sleeping ferrets. Then I remembered that the pet store had an armadillo in an open pen in the back of the store. I headed towards the back and found the pen. I reached down and touched the armadillo's scaly back and focus in it, imprinting an image of it in my mind. Then I turned and looked to see if there was anything else I should acquire. I would probably want a bird and I wasn't confident in my ability to catch one. Then again I could maybe sneak into the animal shelter and find a bird of prey. That would be better. As I biked home I though about the animals I had acquired. I had plenty of small animal, but if I was going to save the world I would need to get some serious firepower. The best place for that was the zoo. I would go there tonight after my parents were asleep.

Instead of going home I decided I'd just go to the zoo because my mom wouldn't be home for a while anyway so why not?right. It didn't take me to long to get there but then I realized something I don't have any money to get in so I decided to sit on the bench and think of something.

Post by: RAFrukh on August 31, 2011, 10:28:20 AM
I laid down on the grass. Maybe...if I waited...something would climb on me and I could acquire it. Several minutes passed. Many birds, flew by. Many insects crossed my stomach(which I wasn't about to morph any time soon.)...finally, a butterfly.

I sighed, "Well it's no more mammalian than a beetle...but if it'll give me flight it might be an invaluable resource."

I looked at it a little while longer and concluded it was a Achalarus lyciades, or a Hoary Edge. I grabbed it gently and focused on it. I let it go...I would morph it later. For now I just looked up at the tree leaves dancing in the wind.

I grew bored with waiting for dark with nothing to do so I grabbed the folder with our zoo membership and scribbled a note to my mom saying that I was going to the zoo and might go to a friends house afterwords. I got back on my bike and headed for the zoo. When I arrived I noticed Shaun sitting outside. "Hey Shaun, how's it going?" I had a pretty good idea what he was doing here.

It occurred to me that animals would be an area of interest for any surviving andalites or humans who had witnessed it.  My host took an early lunch break and walked down to the local zoo.
Title: Re: RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)
Post by: RAFrukh on September 06, 2011, 10:35:50 AM
I imagined what it must be like to fly. Butterflies aren't the best fliers, especially since their small and frail and can easily be knocked around by the wind. But still...no barriers. Three dimensional motion. Humans can only achieve that in water and...well, humans aren't the best swimmers. But no human has ever really flown. Scientifically, the effort must be exerted by the human to say that they are actually flying. No man has felt the rush of the wind flowing unobstructed down their necks. Even with a hang-glider, there's something there to make it unnatural.

What must it be like to really fly..., I thought to myself. More than anything i wanted a bird-of-prey morph now. Well, maybe a salt-water crocodile, but other than that - I wanted to fly. To know what it was like.

"Alright, let's try this one more time..."

I concentrated on the Butterfly I acquired. I breathed deep before I began to morph, and tried to hold my panicking back. Unlike the beetle morph, and against my hopes and wishes...the wings were not the first things to form.

My arms split in two. I had a new pair of arms. It slipped down a little farther towards my hips. I stopped for a moment, flexing all four arms. It was a very...strange sensation. But I had to do this as quickly as possible. Next, my arms and legs hardened. Hairs sprouted from them, and my fingers and toes created tiny two-pronged multi-jointed feet. It was sickening but not as scary as the beetle. My legs were long and thin, elegant almost.

Then I was shrinking! Down, and down until the small rock was a small hill. I was a tiny human with exoskeletal legs. But then my eye-sight was gone again. I panicked. But this time I kept it to myself. And then my eyes were fragmented and I could see the mosaic of the world. But this time, it was breath-taking. All the flowers around me were glowing with ultraviolet light, calling to me - Pollinate me!

I clamped down on the butterfly's instincts. My body segmented. My legs all came up to my torso and I fell. My abdomen squished it's way past all that and formed a giant oval behind me. My insect abdomen. My thorax rounded out to an almost spherical shape. My head bloated and became round. Furry hair sprouted all over my exoskeleton. And then, lastly...the wings.

They sprouted from my thorax like sails being hoisted to catch the wind on a sail-boat. Four big, broad, fragile wings. Oh the elegance.

Snap out of it, idiot.

I was fully butterfly. And that's when I remembered - you can't morph clothes. In a purely human gesture, I brought my butterfly foot to my head.

EW!, I screamed to myself, as I remembered that Butterflies taste with their feet. My furry head tasted disgusting...

Alright, well...might as well fly around., I climbed half-way up the rock and fluttered my wings - and I was airborne.

Flying...even as a butterfly, it made me sickeningly happy. I was up in the air, and ONLY the air could tell me where to go.

All the flowers glowed in ultraviolet light. I was not expecting the instincts of the butterfly to be so strong, but I lost myself and drank the sweet, sweet nectar of several plants. I wasn't in any rush anyway.

I would have to find my way home if I wanted to demorph...I would need clothes. I flew above the trees and knew where I was going. I could actually see where I'd come from from up here...it was incredible. And I flew off toward my house.

It was great. My wings were flapping so slowly, but their broadness let me gain lift as I...wait, a shadow...I looked up...well, the best a butterfly can look up.

There was a Red-Headed Woodpecker flying above me.

Aw, crap. What are the chances...

The bird began to swoop. I thought of what to do...a big woodpecker was swooping down on me...then I remembered watching a History channel documentary on Pigeons used to carry messages. When the enemy started using birds-of-prey to counter the pigeons and attack them, the pigeons adapted and learned to drop like stones away from the falcon's claws.

I folded up my wings as best I could, and aimed down. Being so small, with an exoskeleton, the fall shouldn't hurt me too bad.

The woodpecker's beak skimmed my back. Like, just a hair's width away from impaling me. I thanked god and kept plummeting. Until about 3 feet from the ground I opened my wings like a parachute, and then took off again...I stayed just above the tree line this time though...

((Am I the only one who fins it quite hilarious that Sean and...the other guy...are off lookig at firepower - big cats to be precise - while Caleb's is experimentif with the dainty, yet joyous flight of a butterfly? :P Anyway, maybe we should slow it down and advise the others that the thread is picking up again before we keep going.))

Caleb finally arrived at his house. He was SO glad he'd left the window with the slit in the screen open. He slipped in and denorphed as quick as possible. He couldn't believe how slowthe process was...growth, growths, appendages, internal organs...they all took to long to form. Maybe it got better with practice?

As he finished up, he quickly through on some cothes without even bothering to close the window, since it wasn't facing the street, and snuck out again.

"Wow...that was incredible...", he whispered to himself.

Then he remembered...the local zoo! It had a petting zoo! Maybe he could get a goat or somehing. Stinky, but it sure could hurt a human. And by the look of those jelly-bag worms, them too. He started walking again. It felt so restrictive to travel across x and z axes only. He looked up at the sky...a red-tailed hawk hovered on a thermal.

Maybe the zoo has a Harpy Eagle...I would love to be the biggest thing in the sky..., he started thinking.

Then he started thinking BIG. biggest cat; Liger. Biggest bear; Polar. Biggest sea-mammal; Blue Whale. Biggest crocodile...scratch that, biggest predator; SaltWater Crocodile.

I'm pretty sure the zoo won't have any Blue whales or Salties...but maybe Ligers, Polars a d Harpies. That would be so awesome.[I/]

Pretty soon, he came to the entrance. He'd gotten a pass by trading with someone for his jacket. Who knew someone would want that piece of junk...you know, even if he said it was designer...

He handed the pass to the ticketmaster and walked in. There was the Petting zoo, right there...

Screw goats...[I/], Caleb thought to himself again.

He walked over to the map and starting looking for very specific animals...

salinth 069 said, <ya, i'm getting a little impatient. this kid's gonna wanna know what we got to tell him.>

we stood up and tailed behind him. boy, this kid was really gonna need our help. he was walking kinda silly. i don't know if it was because he seemed like he was really out of it or if he was simply uncoordinated. he led us to the zoo.

inside, he glanced at a map and started heading towards the cat exhibit. we followed him.

I found what I wanted - the Raptor's exhibit. It gave a shortened list of the birds there, but it didnt say Harpy Eagle. I walked towards the exhibit with anticipation.

I got there and looked at the list...


I sighed. I was really hoping for a Harpy Eagle. I'd probably go with the Philippine Eagle. Those were cool...but wait, the Turkey Vulture had the best sense of smell. Wouldn't we need animals with good senses? I groaned in frustration. I'll go with the Philippine Eagle.

I went into the bird house and put on a pair of handler's gloves. I walked up to a cage....and opened the door. I stuck out my hand. And the bird stepped on without a moment's thought.

Now...that was convenient. I just need to muster up the courage to touch it's back...oh man, I hope it desn't bite me...

I stared at the beak. It was sharp. It looked painful. But I reached my hand out, and concentrated.

The animal closed it's eyes and it's head drooped slightly. I smiled and pulled my hand away once Id finished. I placed it back in the cage, and exited...except someone was right outside.

"What were you doing in there?", the Trainer said.

Just my luck...

"I...went in there earlier and I had to go back for my iPod.", I said.

"Why were you in there the first time!?"

My eye's went wide...I used that to my advantage and slowly pointed back at the bird-house, "Isn't that an exhibit?"

"No!", she said, "This is the trainer's room. There's a patio on the other side that we bring the birds out to and have a show."

I thought, "...do people get to touch the animals at the show?"

She raised an eyebrow, "Some of them. The rodents, sometimes monkeys and birds-of-prey.

I smiled, "Well you'll see me at the show then! Sorry for the misunderstanding. It wont happen again! Bye!", and I ran off to check the next show-time.

I decided to go to the bird show. It might be my only chance to touch an animal before the zoo closed. "Shaun let's go to the bird show." I headed off in that direction.
