How Ax Can Kill Visser Three

[Tim Bruening]

I: Ax morph into a flea or other very small insect.

II: Land on the back of Visser 3, which his rear end facing Visser 3's head.

III: Demorph, using his weight to crush Visser 3 to the ground.  As soon as his tail appears, use it to chop off Visser 3's head.

But it takes minutes to complete an morph, not seconds. Even if it only took like 20 seconds, before he could get to a size that would impair V3's mobility or let him use his tail, the Visser could use his own tail to destroy an mass of half morphed Andalite

I am hoping that Visser 3 would be held frozen by surprise long enough for Ax to use his tail.

I know the series had a hope theme, but 20 seconds is a long time to be frozen in shock

What happens if some Hork Bajir controllers see Ax demorphing and slice and dice him? Plan failed.

New plan: Demorph on Visser 3's HEAD!

[RYTX]

 

Exact.

Same.

Problems.

They would have to risk slicing Visser 3 (since my demorphing Ax is on Visser 3's back).

That would be harder

Harder for Ax to do or harder for Visser 3 to survive?

It would be the same problems as listed before. Harder for Ax, how would he get on V3's head to begin with.

P 23 of "The Sacrifice", Book 52:  Rachael takes only moments to morph a great horned owl.  This gives me good reason to hope that Ax could demorph from insect to Andalite in moments and be able to decapitate Visser 3.  Moreover, since by that time, Visser 3 (now Visser 1) knows about the true nature of the Animorphs, I can propose that the Animorphs ALL land on Visser 1 as small insects (such as fleas) and ALL demorph!

Alternate plan: Get in Visser 3's ear as a flea, demorph just enough to explode his ear or even head, remorph to flea, and fly away.  Rachael once got in Visser 3's ear and threatened to demorph (The Separation).

Yeah, but the reason she didn't, was because the process would have killed her, too.  Sure, you could kill V3 that way, but it'd be a suicide mission.

My idea is to demorph just enough to kill the Yeerk, then remorph and depart.
