you forget that even the weakest character from Dragonball Z (oops i meant the weakest Z fighter) would be capable of taking out the entire Andalite fleet (of Dome ships) with BOTH hands tied behind his back. Even Gohan, when he was very young, was AT THE VERY LEAST like a living Dome ship in terms of power.

Debateable in the earliest episodes because at that point Gohan had no idea how to use his power and even when using it couldn't do what Dome Ships could do, which is take chunks off of planets. Vegeta on the other hand, could destroy an entire planet so I'll give you that one, but really a blast from a Dome Ship would have incinerated any Z fighter in the early series, spare possibly Vegeta and a revived Goku.

But regardless of where in the series the Yeerks might have shown up all it takes is one yeerk in the head of the right person and the Z fighters are fairly screwed. Goku wouldn't exactly be on board for say, killing Gohan if he got infested and if they don't know the yeerks are a threat all it would take is say falling into the yeerk pool. Infest one and before the three days are up get another of relatively similar power through trickery and have them restrain the first when their yeerk is being fed, with those two it's possible to then get a stronger Z fighter on up the list, they'd be tricky to hold on to of course until they had most of them but given that DBZ was somewhat lacking in powerful minds (don't get me wrong, I love DBZ, but Goku was so blonde sometimes) they might never notice any change in their infested friends.

If all else fails do what the Yeerks usually do when they can't get a certain host: infest lesser hosts to get to the one they really want. They did this with Aftran's host, Taylor was a poster girl, and there was the unknown girl (I like to imagine it being Taylor, just because) who lured Tom in. If the Yeerks got, say, Bulma at any point after she'd gotten together with Vegeta they could easily infest her child, a properly clever yeerk could get at Vegeta too. Heck Bulma was even close enough to Goku that she could convince the poor guy to put a Yeerk in his head willingly if he didn't know what it was, make up some story and after all they'd been through why shouldn't he buy it? If the Z fighters aren't met by the Andalites first as the Animorphs were, they, like the Animorphs themselves, would have been in trouble just because the Yeerks aren't as obvious a threat as the ones they're used to.

And if the Yeerks get Goku and Vegeta that's pretty much it for the Z universe, and you could get both just by infesting Bulma (After she got close to Vegeta that is . . .) and honestly I don't really see Bulma being very difficult to infest or hold on to so they wouldn't be in any rush until after they infested either Goku or Vegeta. Over three days since infesting Goku or Vegeta the Yeerks could use either one or both to infest everyone else forcefully and thereby have a way of restraining the two while their yeerks fed or indeed swap yeerks instead of letting the controller feed so that there is minimal down time, as is shown in Visser a Yeerk can be mostly out of the host and still not relinquish control and Z fighters do have two ears. One Yeerk goes out but doesnt give up control until it feels the other Yeerk assume it.

Of course maybe they'd sense the Yeerk in an infested friend, however even then if they don't know what the Yeerks are they might not recognize any danger so while I won't say that infesting the Z warriors would be easy by any means, it isn't quite impossible. As with most things you just need the right strategy.

He said "I'd" meaning "I would," not "I have" (which would be "I've").

Oh, and because I like the idea of crossovers in general,

I dont think the Yeerks would stand a Snowball's chance in Hell of even getting close to the Dragon Ball Z universe...
It's quite possible. Case in point: Dr. Gero's androids, which are monumentally strong themselves. The Yeerks and Andalites have technology that surpasses even the humans of the Dragonball world, and there are androids (the Chee) in Animorphs who have to be programmed to be non-violent just because, on its own, one Chee could probably take down a Blade ship. The Yeerks even made their own cyborg, Taylor, who appears in #33 and #43. If the Yeerks really tried, they could probably have made a cyborg that surpasses any creation of Gero's. I'm guessing they didn't make Taylor that strong because 1) She would have been impossible to beat (the out-of-story explanation) and 2) because the vissers and Council of Thirteen didn't want a low-ranking sub-visser to be powerful enough to obliterate their entire army on her own (Yeerk officers seem to be rather competitive in that regard). They could even throw in some Arn bio-technology (I'm going to assume they had the opportunity to scavenge Arn technology and might have even used it somewhere) into that cyborg.

Taylor used some sort of paralyzing substance, perhaps a poison, against her foes. Such a poison would probably be effective on Saiyans too. Or they could use a quantum virus like the type the Andalites used on Planet Hork-Bajir. I think, if carefully executed, it would make for an exciting story.


you forget that even the weakest character from Dragonball Z (oops i meant the weakest Z fighter) would be capable of taking out the entire Andalite fleet (of Dome ships) with BOTH hands tied behind his back. Even Gohan, when he was very young, was AT THE VERY LEAST like a living Dome ship in terms of power.

If a total hack like Dr. Gero can throw some cybernetics into a couple of teenagers and make them strong enough to beat someone who could "take out the entire Andalite fleet with both hands tied behind their back," why couldn't a competent Yeerk scientist outdo him?

The point of a crossover is to make it exciting. Just having Goku beat the snot out of everyone else isn't exciting in the least. I think it's perfectly plausible that the Yeerks could pose a threat even to someone as powerful as him, but they'd have to do it in ways other than a one on one brute strength battle.

And then there's the issue of just how Yeerks do it. The Yeerks would obviously do research on the planet in question before invading it. If this was set in the DB(Z) universe they'd probably already know about Earth because of how instrumental its fighters were in vanquishing Freeza's empire. So, naturally, they'd be as stealthy as they can in invading. Considering how many times the Z fighters are away from home (on Namek, at the Cell Game, fighting Buu, etc), there's plenty of opportunities for the Yeerks to get their loved ones back at home. By the time the Big Bad is destroyed, the Yeerks could have taken over everyone back at home base.

Sure, Goku might have no trouble blasting away some nameless Hork-Bajir mook, but what if the enemy were Chi-Chi? Hell, if a Yeerk got Chi-Chi right before Goku and Gohan returned home, all she'd have to do is wait until they fall asleep and slip Yeerks into their ears. Game, set, match.

So well put! :) I would take my hat off to you! The Yeerks may be arrogant ***holes, but they're no idiots!

I wonder about series like

Roswell (but it was said in the books to be a show)

Buffy (see above)

Highlander and its immortals (and I'm not bringing the HL2 film into this...the whole Zeist thing is just icky.) If the immortal beheaded someone, the quickening might fry the Yeerk, and a Yeerk whose host got whacked would obviously die too.

Forever Knight (There'd be vampire hosts who can fly....yikes)

And my other sci-fi series love Tracker. Cole could never have been infested, he's an energy being in a human morph. Or he'd just give it a zap of energy and fry it. Zin was apparently too. But it'd be fun to see an alien take over a body already inhabited by another alien's essence. ('life force')

I won't say anything about Twilight, I don't think anyone wants to discuss it lol

Meyer's other book, The Host, however...again, human bodies already inhabited by alien parasite-things.

I sometimes want to do a crossover with the cartoon Dino Squad but that's all we'd need, Yeerks in hosts who can morph dinos. I'd like both morph teams on the same side.

I was curious, ever since I started reading the Animorphs books, I was hooked. I also was wondering if the Yeerks somehow managed to crossover into various universes and make Controllers of characters such as:


Sonic the Hedgehog

Kakarot/Goku

Tails

Knuckles

Amy Rose

Chaos

Biolizard

Black Doom

Solaris/Mephiles/Iblis

Assorted Zelda and Dragonball Z heroes and villains

James T Kirk.

Spock (Would he be able to resist with his stronger mental powers?).

Members of SG-1.

A Gou'ld (who is already a parasite in a host).

Darth Vader.

Luke Skywalker.

Harry Potter.
