Animorphs: The Net Generation


#2 The Conversations


(As told by The Ellimist)

	Somewhere in a dark tower two figures discussed plans about who was next 
that they would turn into a controller.  The figures were controllers as it 
was.  A controller is where a Yeerk goes in through the ear canal and gets into the 
nooks and crannies of the beings brain and takes control of every bodily function 
possible.  But maybe I should back up a little.  You wonder what in hades is a Yeerk?  
Well, let me tell you.  A Yeerk looks like a slug the size of a rat and the intelligence 
of who knows what.  When the Yeerk gets to one's brain, it can read what's on the 
beings mind like an open book.  Anyway, the two host's was prisoners to two 
high ranking Yeerks.  The first Yeerk was Visser Two and the second was Visser 
Thirteen.  Of course to everyone else that didn't know that they where controlled by 
Yeerks they would be known as WaterLilly and LagSlayer.

	"I think we should put one of us into the one called Discord." Visser 
Thirteen said.

	"Oh, so now you think?  That's a first.  We go with the plan to capture
this host's mother.  Besides if we captured Discord we would have a tough time 
having control on her.  She had turned into an inanimate object once before.  All 
though her agelessness could be an asset, we can't stand loosing many of us while
trying to keep her under control.  You of all Visser's should know this.  Or is
your low title come with a low I.Q.?"

	Visser 13 acts like he didn't hear the last comment.

	"And how do you plan on putting a Yeerk into MoonDragon?  Besides if and 
when we did, she could struggle.  She does have a strong will not to mention...."

	"Yeah, Yeah.  I know.  I'll just act like my host and convince her 
to join 'The Sharing'."  Visser 2 interrupted.

	'The Sharing' is a front for the Yeerks.  They set it up as a group 
gathering to have fun, when in reality, they size up possible controllers.  As 
the two Vissers continue fussing over details, a little fairy flies through the 
forest looking for her Queen.  StarRain knew she had to find Titania quickly, 
she just didn't know where to look.  Her light blue tinted clear wings beats fast 
as she decides to fly up above the canopy of the forest.  She locates Titania 
and goes over to her just as Puppetteer finishes acquiring the group as separate 
morphs.  The frolis maneuver is somewhat different than just morphing DNA.  
The group was also talking.

	"Excuse me, my Queen!  I have news for you and you might not like it."

	Titania turns from talking with Puppetteer and says, "Could it 
wait for a minute?"

	"Yes, my Queen."

	"Thank you." she says.  "Now Puppetteer, you said you have been on 
this planet before?"

	< Yes, Princess Titania. >  said the Andalite.  

	"Have I mentioned that I don't want to be called Princess?"

	< Yes, Princess Titania. >

	"Yet you still give me that title." she sighs.  "When and why did you come 
the two previous times?"

	< When two high ranking Yeerks decided to infest themselves 
somewhere here.  The first was eleven of your months ago and the second five months 
later.  But alas I was too late to save them. >

	"Puppetteer, our months are now your months too." she said bluntly.  
She was about to say something else when StarRain tugged on her sleeve.

	"My Queen, I am sorry to interrupt but I must tell you something."

	"Fine.  What is it?"

	"I got something to show you."  She hands Titania a folded piece 
of paper.

	Titania takes the piece of paper and unfolds it.  She reads it out
loud.

	"From: The Author.  To: Titania.  Hey Titania,  I hate to disappoint you, 
but I'm gonna have to yank a few characters from your gang because they are 
already tied up in another story and it's kinda hard to make them co-exist in two 
story lines at the same time.  The following names are to be removed.  Terrie 
Clothe, Alpha, Tash Maw and Eletron.  Don't worry, you have more than enough people 
to replace them.  By the time you finish reading this there will be a special scepter 
in sub-space waiting for you.  With it, you can power up as any of the characters 
that I have created.  Including a Sailor suited, fairy winged you.  There are 
seven phrases in all.  And they are (in no particular order);  Alpha Omega Power!  
Eletron Elephant Power!  Tash Maw Hall Power! Hotshot Hollywood Power! Titania 
Fairy Power!  Discord Incarnent Power!  Andalite Princess Power!  A word of warning 
about all these powers.  When you use them, they will be toned down.  We wouldn't 
want to make you invincible, now would we?  Actually I would but it would be unfair 
to others and I wouldn't hear the end of it.  By the way, Discord has finished 
talking with the Andalite War Princess.  I just didn't know where to put their 
little meeting into this story.  --The Author  P.S. The scepter has to be in 
recharge mode when not in use otherwise it's gonna leave you as whatever you 
charged up as until it can be recharged enough to revert you to yourself again.  
P.P.S. Tell Alpha that he does one thing that not a single other creation of mine 
does.  He can get into 'The Sharing' without being figured out.  Dogs are one of 
the few animals out there that the Yeerks don't pay attention to."

	Titania watched as Tash Maw, Eletron, Alpha and Terrie Clothe left.
She sighs and looks at StarRain.

	"Assemble the fairy court, please.  I've gotta figure out who's gonna 
replace the four that had to leave."

	< Why not choose now? >

	"Because.  I might not choose wisely if I just spurt out names.  If I 
did, we might have controllers in our mist and we wouldn't know it."

	< I would know. >

	"How?"

	< I'm not sure, I just would.  Princess Titania, may I acquire one 
of your fairies? >

	"Why don't you ask the fairies yourself?  It's not like I make their 
every decision.  They're not mindless dolts.  No disrespect StarRain."

	"None taken, your Majesty."

	Puppetteer turns a stalk eye to StarRain.  

        < May I acquire you? >

	"Is it going to hurt?"

	< No. >

	"Would you take a rain check on it?  I've got to follow my Queens 
orders and assemble the fairy court."


	< Of course, but what is a rain check? >

	"I'll explain it later." Titania says.  She reaches behind her 
back and grabs at thin air.  Instantly the scepter appears in her hand.  
"Meanwhile I'm gonna try this thing out.  Now that it's only you and me for 
a while."

	She holds the scepter up and shouts, "Andalite Princess Power!"

	She almost instantaneously becomes what looks like an older Andalite.

	< Yes.  I love this scepter. Why don't we look for the *real* War Princess 
while StarRain gathers my fairy court? >

	< Agreed.  And maybe we'll run into this Discord you mentioned earlier. >

	Will Titania and Puppetteer reach the Andalite War Princess 
soon enough?  What is the War Princess's name?  Will they meet up with Discord?  
Will Visser 2 actually convince MoonDragon to join 'The Sharing' so they could 
make her a controller?  Are these questions getting annoying?  For these answers 
and more stay tuned for the next exciting installment of Animorphs: The Net Generation.
