412) when you secretly believe that if you wish long enough, the powers of the universe might just alter events and make you the 7Th Animorph so you get to fight the war alongside our heroes.

Like in number 8, after I found out Ax contacted his dad...and his dad was like "Go kill Visser three by yourself!" I'd tell Ax to talk to his mom.
I mean, hopefully his mom at least cares enough that her son is stranded on earth and maybe she could convince his dad to work some military magic by throwing around Elfangor's name to get SOME help to earth that doesn't involve quantum viruses.
And if she has the same reaction: "Meh, call us back when you kill V3, I'm sure you'll get off planet earth eventually..."
I'd treat him to cinnabon and give him a hug. Cause he definitely needed one.
Man, no wonder the kid was like "I was almost slaughtered as a cow for human food....meh" *Eats cheeseburger.*
