Temporal Terror

[Cobra (Gymn)]

Parag was shocked. He had known Ambassador Kage for a while since he was a friend of Ambassador Acoun's but he never morphed! Parag began to fall behind. The Andalite-controller was heavy and he hoped the others took care of the Blue-Bands. I would appreciate some help.

[Chad32]

<I think we're going to have to have a discussion about that later.> Claxter said. He helped parag get the remaining live hosts out to be rescued. He hoped that no other andalites had been captured and taken, and wondered if anyone else was on the ship.

[RAFrukh]

((Oops, forgot the ship was outside...))

But then I realized CLaxter and Parag still needed help. Visser 4 was subdued, as was the other Andalite-controller. We had to take control of the Hork-Bajir.

I demorphed. Then remorphed.

I grew two time my height. The end result was not much different from a 12 foot tall Hork-Bajir, except that I had huge leathery wings, my torso was only 5 feet in circumference, I was a dull blue-gray, and had more spikes. I was also faster on my feet.

I lept and glided onto one of the Blue-bands. My toe claw ripped it in half. I jumped to the others.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

I suppose I should have probed deeper when I met him. It must be one of his deepest secrets. Parag remarked privately to Vlaxter as they moved the unconscious Controllers to the ship.

[Chad32]

<It's alright. I'm sure he has a good reason.> Claxter said in a tone of voice that meant he better have a good reason. Andalites don't just pass out morphing power to aliens. Though there was a case on Earth after the war was over. It wasn't unheard of. He dragged as many controllers as he could into the ship outside, and started looking for something to restrain them.

[RAFrukh]

I demorphed and put Visser 4 on the pile of Controllers. I knew this ship well, so while Claxter looked for something to restrain them, I simply said, "Computer! Quarantine on sections alpha-epsilon-5 through alpha-zeta-10."

A force-field snapped to life around the yeerks. They were contained.

[Chad32]

<Excellent. We will want to make another trip inside the Dome ship, to make sure we have all of them.> Claxter said after demorphing. <We will want to interrogate Visser Four.>

[RAFrukh]

I walked over to the pile of unconscious abominations. It reached out, and the Force field snapped at my finger. It was working properly.

"We can do that on the way back to Andalor. Then, I assume we must take them to the Andalite government. Agreed?"

After a few nods from the crew, I started up the engines, and we lifted off. Before leaving however, I hit the Dome-Ship with the Tyrra beams, and it exploded viciously.

{{Unbeknownst to the Union, the Portal remained... }}

[Cobra (Gymn)]

I will interrogate them. Parag said darkly. He was infuriated that they hadn't found Ambassador Acoun. When Kage blasted the Star Saviour he yelled, What did you do!

[Chad32]

<Poor Ambassador Acoun. We never even searched for him. I think you may have been too hasty, Ambassador Kage.>

[RAFrukh]

I thought about that...

"You know what? You're right. Let's just hope he wasn't on the StarSavior..."

I shuddered visibly.

"Computer, scan for specific Leeran life-signs on the planet below."

~Specific scanning requires level 5 clearance, accessed through a specified 10 digit alphanumeric code~

"I have the code," I said, slightly anxious, "it's 5-5-6-2-X-3-V-9-4-0. Authorize."

~Code verified. Authorization enabled. Specify life-signs.~

"Leeran Ambassador Acoun Kloa."

~Scanning~

[Cobra (Gymn)]

He had better not have been on that ship. There was a hint of a threat in that phrase.

[RAFrukh]

He could sense Parag was partially threatening him. He spent a lot of time with Leeran ambassadors...

"Parag, be quiet. Acoun was my friend too."

There was a slight pause.

~LIFE SIGNS FOUND. Coordinate 456.788.-12~

I relaxed, "There, you see? Nothing to worry about."

To the computer, "On screen."

We were looking at Kloa from a few miles up. The computer zoomed in. The Yellow Frog was at least a mle away from the original coordinates of the StarSavior. It was still alive, but slow. Leerans were ectothermic. It had on a enviro-suit.

"That's where we're going," I went to grab an eve-suit, "Parag, take us down please."

[Chad32]

<Excellent. We'll pick him up and be on our way back.> Claxter said. He could not for the life of him figure out how a group of Yeerks could get inside a Dome Ship, though. <The war has been over for seventy years, but that's no reason for lax security. There will be reprimands in order for some.>

[RAFrukh]

Kage assumed the 'reprimands' were in order for himself. But he didn't have time to worry about this smug andalite's pride-of-species. He had a friend/ambassador/sole survivor to save.

I piloted the ship down next to him and got my Enviro-suit on, "I'll be back. If you need me, you both have thought-speak."

I jumped out. Acoun appeared to have passed out already. I picked him up, and I walked in .001 G back to the Prodigy.
