If the yeerks really invaded earth...

[Yorick Brown]

And what options wouyld those be? Become a slave of your own body?

[morfowt]

yeah. that's an option. not a good option, but an option.

[Gumby]

I would fight, because there would be a very unpleasant place if we lost. I would rather be dead then have a yeerk in my head. (Hey, that rhymes)

[Kharina]

hehehehe... sorry... but hey, those two Yeerks were the only exception. And the reason they loved was probably because their hosts also loved each other... thus influencing them. But... I really can't imagine Yeerks loving... sure, friendship and loyalty were existing.. .but not really love... except Visser One and his subordinate of course... 

Visser One and Essam was a special case, I agree, as they were very much influenced by the emotions of their hosts.  However, there are other examples of Yeerk love where the hosts don't come into it at all: Aftran's love for her brother, which prompted her to, dangerously, follow a suspected Andalite bandit, and to steal a Dracon Beam, the punishment for which is "very painful".  And I think with Yeerks, "very painful" means PAINFUL.

There's also the example of Eslin, who betrayed V3 and worked with an Andalite (consider how much the two species hate each other), due to his love/friendship for Derane.  He describes this as originating very early on and continuing throughout their respective rise through the ranks through numerous hosts.  And the way he describes it seems pretty close to the way human love might be described.

Visser One and Essam (and their love for their human children) was really human love, and wouldn't have occured without the confusion between themselves and their hosts. It's actually a really bad example of Yeerk love. However, the other two examples clearly stem from the Yeerks themselves.

I know this is an old quote, but I felt the need to answer this.

[Myitt]

True, I think it was more outlawed and alien than impossible for Yeerks...and there's definite sibling affection.

[Kelran-Isthinar]

Fight, like mess, and die if no other option presents itself, preferably in the act of setting off a nuke nearby a major enemy asset.

[babette]

we could do nothing
1.we wouldn't even know
2.even if thier werepowers
would never get any 'cause david
3.we would never find the animorphs

[Estelore]

Babette, I think that the going assumption is that we ARE aware.

Welcome to RAF!

[Cloak]

I'd go by instinct (which I nearly always do in any situation).  Especially if my niece was in danger, I fight like a mad man.  I'd like to think that I would be able to think on my feet and survive, if not do damage to them.  I personally don't enjoy fighting, but push me to the corner and I'll fight back.  (I had to learn this the hard way, my little sister thought by the sole virtue of being female that it granted her the undeniable right to beat the -- well, you know what -- out of me.)

Unfortunately, I know that I am quick to anger (can't blame my Irish blood, that'll be an excuse) and that anger would probably write my death sentence -- or infestation date.

[-1-2-3-]

lol, CloakedFigure, funny.

I'd fight no matter what, don't care.

schizophrenia. evil. TWO IS ENOUGH!!

[Azguard]

 If there was an all out war...we would fighting a desperately losing battle. However, I think we would be able to deal a whole massive amount of damage to the Yeerks. I mean, why else would the Council of Thirteen opt for a secretive invasion? The costs the other way would be way too high.

 However, if there were an all out war do you think other alien races might help? Like races we haven't heard about? That happens all the time in Animorphs...it seems like Earth is a pretty popular place.

Of course...we'd hold off the Yeerk invasion for a few months....before the Andalites come and wipe ALL of us Yeerk and Human off the face of the map! haha.

[yunyun]

i'd try and fight. But i think that i'll most likely end up hiding   

[SkyMorpher]

I'd want to morph and fight as long as possible.

[NateSean]

Why do you assume you would have the morphing power? Only six humans had it between The Invasion and The Answer. Only five were at the construction site when Elfangor landed and if the Yeerks were invading on a full frontal scale, it's entirely possible the Andaltes would have sent a larger and more formidable fighting force. Which means that Elfangor might have never landed on Earth and no one would have been given morphing.

In all likelihood, if we had the kind of invasion the OP seems to be referring to, it would be more like Megamorphs 4 and you'd be lucky if you could get ahold of a baseball bat, much less the power to morph.

[Snakie]

I'd like to say I'd want to join the fight, but in reality I'd probably just take several years supply of maple flavored instant oatmeal and go underground.
