1) The One was hiding on the blade ship already and it absorbed her, I see that others came to the same idea, which is cool.
2) rewrite the last book so she almost dies but doesn't.
3) I LOVED the idea of tying applegate to a chair, whoever said that. it's exactly what I want to do.
4) rewrite both of the last two books so no one is sent to kill tom at all.
5) forget "bringing back". tobias dies, but believed in christ, and goes to heaven? and she's there?
6) the polar bear changes sides. although I guess thats unlikely.
7) the polar bear hesitates, there is enough time to posssibly run right between its legs and be 20% morphed by the first blow, possibly surviving. kind of fits under method 2.
8 ) tom has no snake morph.
9) whatever happened with erek just never happens and the pool ship has full power to help.
10) the elimist decides it is not breaking the rules to intervene if he takes away her morphing ability, removing her from the war.
