Oh no, not the Helmacrons again!

[Josh (J)]

You know...I seriously have NO idea what ya'll are talking about. Yeerks, Vissers. *pauses* And come to think of it, WHY THE HECK am I talking to an eagle?!
*whispers to Al*
We can either go with--with--them, run, or morph something. And somehow I think that none of them are really good.......

[Aluminator (Kit)]

*whispers to Marvin* Yeah, our options here aren't looking great. As soon as we're big again, I'm Draconing these two into dust.

*To Aldrea and Ghosty* Look, crazy, why don't we work together to figure out how to unshrink ourselves? If you can stop accusing me of being some demon or whatever for five minutes, I think I could stand to be around you.

[Josh (J)]

*whispers back* Remember, I have to get one of them.

Yes...and if you'd stop wanting to do something to me too, I think we MIGHT be able to work something out, right?

[A ghost you know]

*whispers to Aldrea* What do you think? I'm not inclined to trust these Yeerks any farther than I can throw them, but we do have a problem. We're going to have a hard time dealing with them and getting unshrunk, and at some point Chad's going to get here and then we'll be in even bigger trouble. On the other hand, they can't really do anything either, so I think we basically have a forced truce for now.

[Aldrea Hammee]

*Whispers to Ghost* Okay, truce. But as soon as we're big, I'm morphing something that can take these two down.

We have tried to be nice to the Helmacrons, but they are so mean! All we did was bring them cookies and they tried shooting us! *boohoooohooo!* We're back inside now, with the shields up. Some of us are thinking of putting the Helmacron ship up in a tree while they are firing outside our ship. That would be so rude of us, but they were mean to us first! Maybe then they will calm down and let us talk about things and share our feelings. We still have some cookies left....

From the log of the Rondecron ship Flowered Pride

*the Flowered Pride lifts off, taking the Asteroid Doom with it through the woods, where it leaves the Helmacron ship in a tree's branches. It then returns to where the stranded Helmacrons are and hovers a few inches above them. The Helmacrons continue yelling and shooting.*

[A ghost you know]

*whispers to Aldrea* Remember, we shouldn't hurt them if we can avoid it - they may be Yeerks, but they're in human hosts. And speaking of getting big, we've got to make sure one of us gets back to normal size before they do. I have a feeling if they get back to normal size first, we're done for.

*turns back to Marvin and Al* Fine, truce.

[Josh (J)]

*smiles* Good.
*whispers to Al* We MUST get big first!!
*puts on a sweet smile*

[Aldrea Hammee]

<All right, the important thing here is to somehow induce the Helmacrons to make us big again. Since they seem to want Al for some reason I don't understand, I propose we feign giving him up to them. Once at least some of us are returned to normal, we can take the shrink ray and use it ourselves. Don't worry Al, we'll do our best to help releive you of that Yeerk. *narrows eyes* ...There also seem to be two ships attacking each other. There might be some way we can back the opposing side...>

[warren_bearclaw]

Curses! Those horrid hypocritical "kind-hearted" Rondecron meddlers have stranded us on this hostile habitat! First, Grand Lord of the Empire, they disabled and rendered useless our ship you christened yourself. Then, they attempted to drug and poison us... but we weren't fooled by their pleasant lies! Now your humble servants have been abandoned, and our ship has been taken from us, while our despicable genetic 'cousins' hover above us, plotting our imminent doom. But we despair not, or Masterful One! Still we wage war against them, and through our perseverance and valor shall we overcome the greatest of odds!

...AAAaaaarrrghhhh! Their cruelty knows no bounds! As they gloat in the safety of their ship, they pelt us with the toxic wafers from above!!! Defeat looms near, but fear not, for WE SHALL OVERCOME!!!!!

[Aluminator (Kit)]

*whispers to Marvin* Squish squash *evil grin*

*to everyone* So, what, I'm the bait? I'm not a huge fan of this plan.

*sigh*

Fine. Let's go see if we can get in on the little skirmish going on over there.

[Josh (J)]

*whispers in a low voice as he starts walking*

We really need to get a big morph so we can out-strengthen them...

[warren_bearclaw]

Great News, Prime Minister! We decided to give the left over cookies to the Helmacrons, and they are running and jumping so excitedly! They must like them... we are so happy! At first, we were a little worried about them, so we stayed in our ship off the ground, but since they're so happy now, we'll land again finally get to sort things out! Yay!

-From the log of the Rondecron ship Flowered Pride

*The ship lands amidst the rioting Helmacrons*

[Aluminator (Kit)]

*whispering to Marvin* Aw, man, you got a morph-capable host? This one's totally not. I do feel really strong, being so small, though.

*to everyone* We need to get onto that Helmacron ship over there.

[A ghost you know]

Well, now's a good time to do it. The Helmacrons are thoroughly distracted by that other ship, so we should have plenty of time to figure out their system and unshrink ourselves.
