Original Animorphs RP

[Blaise Zebrataur]

I followed the others as they go find their battle morphs to choose for later on.

I felt adrenalin begin to run through my veins and before I knew it, I couldn't keep still, fidgeting on the spot. We had a distraction and now I would be getting up close and personal with a dangerous animal. With the adrenalin came nerves and I suddenly wondered whether I'd been stupid to even think of choosing an animal that could bite clean through my skull. I figured that with a bear I might possibly have more of a chance of approaching it and escaping. But then I found that the adrenalin was making me more ready for action than scared. It wasn't too hard to ignore the fear by concentrating really hard on my goal.

I cast my eyes around and found a door that was labelled "personnel only." Then I saw another one opposite. It seemed that one of them might lead to the big cats on the one side and the other one was for access to the other types of animals. I casually strolled closer to the big cat-side door and commented,

"Do you think this'll lead to the enclosures?" I wasn't totally confident that they would, but how else would the staff get access to the enclosures and feed the animals? I wondered whether the jaguar might be less quick to attack if it had human contact- feeding, when a vet had to examine it... I hoped that might be the case.

[yunyun]

I nodded. "Yeah, that leads to the enclosure. But how are you going to acquire it without getting yourself hurt? And try to do so so that no one sees you."

[Blazing Angel]

"We're leaving it up to Ax to distract people. I was thinking Sam might be able hold down some of the animals."

I gulped, I had seen the last Walt Disney movie were tarzan wrestles Sabor, the jaguar, I just hoped this would go remotely the same and I would end with my head ripped off.

(JAKE)

-Ok, lets go, Ax, do you thing- I pushed the door and it budged (funny that they would leave doors like that open) Inside were lots of other doors that I assumed lead to animal habitads -Which one is the jaguars?-

[Blazing Angel]

"Perhaps the one that says Jaguar on it?" I said "You can dress yourself, right?"

[The Spectre]

(JAKE)

-Oh, right- How had I missed the big blood red letters that read "JAGUAR"? Or the even bigger "DANGER" painted on the plain gray door? -Sam, Rachel, you ready?-

(SAM)

I gulped and nodded, I couldnt afford to fear, but I couldnt help it either. My heart was pumping  fast.

I watched as my friends walked in to get their battle morphs for later.

[Doomhawk]

I followed everyone, pretty psyched up that I would be the first to acquire my new battle morph, the sleek, deadly jaguar. I also wanted to see Sam in action. I'd seen him run a good distance in a matter of seconds so I couldn't wait to see whether he really was strong enough to wrestle a big cat. Of course, if he wasn't, that would be bad. I could turn into an eagle and distract it...and then get eaten. Or turn into a dog and get savaged while Sam got to safety. We came to the door with "JAGUAR" written on it and Jake asked us whether we were ready. Sam nodded and I was not eager to be outclassed.

"Of course I am!" I looked at Sam with self-confidence that I wasn't sure I had yet. Before I could start to think about it all and chicken out, I grabbed the door handle and tried it. It didn't shift but I put my shoulder to the door and shoved it and it swung open. "That was...surprisingly easy. Well, let's do it." I stepped through the door and found myself surrounded by trees. It seemed like the door came out in the densely wooded part of the enclosure while the jaguar was out in the open, seemingly pacing to and fro. I looked back at Sam. Maybe we should lure the jaguar into the forest. If the zoo workers saw me out in the open, they'd try and get me thrown out. In the trees, it'd be harder to notice that something weird was going on. I tried to move as quietly as possible to avoid attracting its attention before I was ready to acquire it. I moved slightly deeper into the trees and waited for Sam.

I played my role as the distractor with relative ease. The Humans found looking at a bird up close more interesting than looking at a jaguar from a distance. All I had to do was make sure most or all of them were watching me, but not getting too close.

[The Spectre]

(SAM)

The Jaguar was sleek, lethal. I walked slowly as I could. Maybe if he didnt saw us as threats he wouldnt attack.WRONG! The cat springed froward, claws outsretched at me!I fell to the ground with tha cat on top. My hands held both its paws but not for long, its warm breath was suffocating and the gigantic teeth were ever nearer to my face.The morphing trance! It was my only hope. -Touch it!-

[Doomhawk]

I was taken totally by surprise when the jaguar attacked, racing towards us. I wanted to turn around and run so badly as it pounced. I was terrified. But Sam managed to grab its paws, holding it up above him before it could attack. I was rooted to the spot by fear. If I moved, I might distract Sam and it might end in injury or worse. I might distract the jaguar at it might come running towards me and there was no way I could hold it back like Sam was struggling to do. I started to tremble slightly, not knowing what to do. But Sam broke through my panic, telling me to touch it. I snapped out of it.

He was struggling and the cat was weighting down on him. I didn't even have time to think and my legs moved without realising. I had never run faster in my life (apart from when we were fleeing Visser Three) and I skidded to a stop, reaching out and putting my hand on the side of the jaguar, keeping away from its claws and teeth. I concentrated as hard as I could and I felt the jaguar still gradually beneath my hand. It was weird but the animal seemed to calm down weirdly as I tried to acquire it. I backed away once I felt the process finish and prepared to turn and run for real this time. Hopefully the beast would remain zoned out for long enough so that Sam could get away from it and we could get out of here.

[The Spectre]

(SAM)

As soon as the jaguar relaxed I threw it off me. And sprinted towards the exit.Hoping I would get there before it came back to reality. I threw the door open...

[Doomhawk]

I followed Sam hurriedly, not even looking back as the jaguar stirred and got to its feet. I hurried through the door and turned around to see whether he'd made it through too- I wanted to slam the door before the jaguar got close.

*Good job guys you made it.*I said as I had waited outside for them to get their morphs.
