The new Animorphs

[SkyMorpher]

Mel: I was worried about the other two, but Dom made sense too.  I was trying not to worry but it wasn't easy.

The idea of going into the pool area scared me, but I nodded in agreement. I just hoped nothing went wrong down there.

EMMA:

"Dom? What's gonna happen to you when they have you? It's not like you could morph to get away. The Yeerks would find and take you and your family. Then find us," I shuddered at the thought. "But seriously, how are you gonna get away?" I asked.

DOM:

That question had stumped me. Why didn't I think of that? Was I not qualified to lead my friends? Of course I wasn't qualified for this I'm only a teenager. I would have to learn to look at every aspect of the situation or somebody could die. "Good point. Well I guess we have to hope that they get so many faces that they won't remember mine. We also have to hope that you guys can demorph and remorph fast enough so that I don't be made into a controller. With my calculations it takes us roughly five minutes to do one morph. That's a decent amount of time. Ten minutes could be life and death but we also have never tried going from one morph to the other. We are taking a lot of chances and I'm not forcing anybody to do this if you don't want to speak up now."

EMMA:

I just hoped that we could pull this off. "I'm still in. There is no way that I'm backing out of this," I said, completely determined that I would do this and help out my teammates.

TYRESE:

"There's no way I'm not doing this." I said. I needed to find out for sure if this was the real deal I need to save my bro.

(For Lboogie cuz he got grounded)

SOKKA:

Thinking about the others gave me the shivers. The finding out we might be going into the Yeerk pool just made everything worse. I couldn't back out now they had all said yes. "This is nuts.....but ill do it." It really was nuts. Go from human to lizard, then like five to ten minutes later go back to human then to grizzly bear. I didn't know if I could do it.

EMMA:

I shoved the anxiety creeping into me down. I was not going to back out of this. I turned to Dom, "You sure you're ready for this?" I asked him, whispering.

[gorillaman16]

"As ready as you can be when your going to your possible doom." I smiled at Emma. "I'll be fine you guys just remember not to let me get turned into one of those things." I had confidence in my friends but this was serious.

[SkyMorpher]

Mel: I couldn't keep from shakng, but I tried to focus. I just hoped we didn't get caught with no escape. In morph, things were different but with him as a human, he wouldn't be able to morph.

"i guess I'm ready" I said.

[theyoungphoenix]

EMMA:

I noticed Mel shaking. I put a comforting hand on her shoulder a gave her a comforting glance. Sure, I was nervous too, but I was gonna be there for my new friends. "Okay, I'm ready too."

DOM:

We left the food court together something we would rarely ever do. We acted as if I was the only person who could drive them home. We got to my car and parked it across te street and down a little from the store we were going too. The plan was simple the others would morph lizard and get in my pocket. If this was a place to infest people I would be taken to the Yeerk Pool otherwise is just buy a cast bar. I left my wallet and important stuff in my car except my keys I hid them under a dumpster in only a spot that something small like a rat or lizard could get. I waited for the others to morph and I put their clothes in my car.

TYRESE:

We left the mall and went to a store not to far away from the store we needed to go to. I was going to get small so I didn't have to lose my clothes before I started morphing. I shrunk first like I went from my height to te hight of a lizard standing on two feet. Then I got scales while my eyes changed to the lizard eyes. The tail came next while my teeth and face changed to te face if the lizard. I heard my insides changing and shifting to that of a lizard while my arms and legs did the same. I had never morphed the lizard yet so I wasn't ready for the instincts but I overpowered them easily. Dom picked me up and put me in his left pocket.

EMMA:

After arriving near the store, I took a deep breath. The anxiety was getting to me. I ignored the strong feeling in my stomach and closed my eyes to begin the morph. Naturally my eyes had to open again as my face changed shape. My face bulged out into the shape of the lizards face. Scales grew on my body as I shrunk. A tail grew out from my spine and my organs shifted and changes, resulting in a weird squishing sound. I fell on my front feet, the lizard's mind bubbled up underneath my own, but I was expecting the instincts and squishes them down.  <I'm ready Dom,> I called out.

[SkyMorpher]

Mel: I smiled at Emma, glad for the gesture of comfort. A few moments later,I morphed too, trying to brace myself for the instincts. I was still wierded out by the changes-the shrinking, my skin turning green, my face pushing out-and was glad I couldn't see myself doing it.

<Ready> I told Dom when I was done.

[gorillaman16]

SOKKA:

I pushed back my worried feelings when we left the mall but they came straight back when we arrived at the store near the actual store we had to get to was. I started the morph, it was one I had done before but the instincts got me. That won't happen again I told myself. Once I was completed morphing Dom picked me up and put me in his right pocket along with Emma. Mel got put in the pocket with Tyrese.


DOM:

I left our hiding spot with four little lizards in my pocket and headed for the store that could be my doom. I didn't think about that though I just kept thinking about what to do once I was inside. I approached the door. Paused then opened it and went in. It looked like a normal store except for the bathroom it was weird the door was metal unlike most bathroom doors and I'm talking one of those you don't get to go in there unless we say so doors. I immediately knew that was the entrance. I went to go grab a candy bar and I heard it a person ask to use the restroom it's an emergency. The clerk hit a button under his desk and the door unlocked you could hear it. I grabbed my candy bar went up to the register and paid for the bar. I opened it and started eating it. Then without moving from the counter I said the words that might get me killed: "Can I use the restroom it's an emergency." He looked me down then said "these pitiful host bodies always eating junk food." Then he unlocked te door and I stepped in. It closed behind me and locked. A stairwell came out of the wall next to the toilet I followed it down and I was in a line for controllers waiting to go feed. I whispered to the others "guys I'm waiting on line and its moving fast you need to go." With that four lizards scrambled out of my pockets and ran off to who knows where.

EMMA:

I scurried away to somewhere dark and quiet. As soon as I could, I slowly started to demorph. When my human eyes appeared, I looked around. There wasn't anyone around. I quickly finished demorphing, and started morphing the Siberian Tiger. My ears climbed to the top of my head while orange and black fur grew on my body. Muscle layered itself on my arms and legs. My knees reversed, sending me onto my newly formed paws. With a sickening squelch later, my organs rearranged themselves.  I felt the tiger's mind bubbling up beneath my own. I realized with a start that I haven't ever morphed the tiger before, but that thought was soon pushed from my mind as the instincts kicked in. I breathed in, adorning the different smells. Human was one of the most prominent, but there were other, unfamiliar smells, as well as an odd sound, like water hitting a wall, although it sounded a bit different. Then one of the unfamiliar creatures came near me. It looked like a giant centipede, with four red, jelly-like eyes surrounding a round mouth, layered with rows and rows of teeth. It stood with the upper part of its body erect. The end of the 'feet' were little claws. The tiger considered this creature a threat, and roared loud enough to make any grown man wet his pants. The creature turned to me, a small weapon in one of its upper claws. He fired at me, but I dodged and leapt at the creature, slashing down its side. This caused many other creatures and humans to look my way. Seven foot tall lizards came at me and I attacked them. I had to save my friends. Wait...what? I snapped out of it. Dom! What happened to Dom? I left the battle and ran off, trying to find any of my friends.
