Ultramorphs Chapter 1 My name is Becka, I'm an UltraMorph. I like a guy named Zac who is the leader of the UltraMorphs. Justin is the clowns, Austin and Sara the intellectual ones, and Brittany the one that annoys me. Take this day for instance. We were is study hall and since our science teacher assigned Brittany and I to be partners, we had to study together. I was just thinking about Zac and was writing his name like a hundred times on the front part of a piece of paper. "Can't you use the back of that?" Brittany whispered to me. "Why, it's not your paper?" I said looking up at her. "I just thought it might save a couple more trees if you use the paper sparingly so you won't use up that whole pack then have to buy another. Then, you've bought so many packets of wasted paper that you're on America's Most Wasteful." she said getting louder. "Brittany, just shut up once in a while. You know you're really getting on my nerves lately."I said back. "Just take a hike once in a while." I heard her say under her breath. Finally, the bell rang and we had free period. My best girlfriends and I got together to go scope out guys. As we walked out we stopped to tease the geek troop which Brittany happened to be a member of. "So, how¡¦s life on the nerd planet?" my best friend Libby said. "How¡¦s your injury Libby? Oh yeah, that not an injury. You¡¦re just permanently stupid." Brittany said as her friends laughed at her stupid antics. "I¡¦m sorry to say it, but you¡¦re bothing us little kids. Now, there are a lot of other little girl geeks down there by the waterfountain." my second best friend Sara said. "Little! Kids! Geeks!" Brittany said her face getting mad with anger and her fists balling up, ready to strike. "That¡¦s what she said. Take a clue, you¡¦re unpopular. All of you wanna-bes are. Get a life, learn to dress, and fire your hairstylelist." I said and watched Brittany¡¦s and her friends¡¦ get even angerier. "Becka, you are the uglyest, lowest, most unpopular, most unattractive, little girl in the hole school!!! And your hair looks terrible!!!!" Brittany screamed at the top of her lungs and then she and her friends walked off somewhere just as the bell rang for the next period.
Chapter 2 I walked out the school door at the end of school with my friends and I laughing and talking. We all said good-bye after I noticed Zac coming my way. He was so cool. He wore Gap pants, cool Old Navey shirts, Adidias shoes, and his hair was blonde, short, and naturly wavey. "Hi Zac," I said cutely as he walked past me in his cool, calm, careful strides. "Hi Becka" he said as he walked on past me to Cassie. Cassie, the vet¡¦s daughter. She was in another Earth Savers group called the Animorphs. She was pretty, and actualy popular. But just the fact that Zac acted that he liked her more made me hate her. They presently engaged in a conversation while I went in the dirrection for home. It was only a few blocks away and I wasn¡¦t about to ride that awful, stinky, noisey bus to school in back when on the way to my house I could walk past Zac¡¦s. I was walking by the school parking lot when Mrs. Hewit, my science teacher, walked up to me. "Becka, I want you to know that I think you and Brittany could really be good friends if you tried. That¡¦s why I put you to as partners. I think that you should really try to see if you could go over to her house and try to work on your project together. I talked to her earlier and she said it was fine for you to go over there today." she said. I couldn¡¦t find an excuess for why I didn¡¦t want to go. I stood a second and then before thinking I blerted out an answer. "Sure I can go over today." "Great, but you really should tell her and not me." So I said good-bye to her then headed for Brittany¡¦s house. I knocked on Brittany¡¦s door and her mom answered. "Hi Mrs--." I began. "Brittany is not home yet but you can wait in her room upstairs. I¡¦m sure she won¡¦t mind." she said without letting me get a word in. So I walked up stairs and my eyes serched every door for signs of being Brittany¡¦s door. I finalie spotted one and went in. Sure enough, it looked like her room. I sat on her bed and was just getting comfertable when a hawk flew to the window. I had seen this hawk before and knew it was Tobias. <Becka?? What are you doing at Brittany¡¦s??> He asked. "School project." I said rolling my eyes at the thought of it. <Okay, I thouhgt you two had become friends.> he said relieved. "Hump!" was all I said while I looked around the room and my eyes stopped at a small, strange, beuitful, box with imitation dimonds all over it. I went over to the box and was just about to pick it up when Tobias screached at me. "What!?" I said in alarm. <Don¡¦t touch it!!> he said flapping his wings in alarm and warning. "Why?" I asked puzzled. <Just don¡¦t.> He said still alarmed. "I don¡¦t need to listen to a hawk. Don¡¦t you have someplace to be birdy?" I asked agrevated. <Anywhere but around a stuck up snobs.> He said flying away. I waited five more minuets for Brittany but there was still no sign of seeing her. I got bored and decied to ignore Tobias¡¦s warning and investigate the box. I picked it up in my hands and looked it over. Then all of the sudden, the box part of the box that I had saw with dimonds dissapered as if it were because of my body heat. A box about two inches smaller layed in my hands when the outside of the box had dissapered. I sat the box down fast, alarmed. I looked at y hands and saw a strange purple glow start at my finger tips and all the way up my hands and arms. With the glowing came a fealing as if every part of my hands and arms that had benn touched with the glowing was asleep. I felt weak as I began to get scared. I needed to go, escape from this. I was panic stricen. All of the sudden I heard loud heavey footsteps up the stairs. My heart beat faster as I knew it was Brittany coming up. And I also knew she would enter her room and discover what had happened. The doornob turned at a normul rate, but when I was so scared it seem to turn slow and to creak as it did, just to make the time it took her to open the door longer. "Uhhhhh." she gasped. "Becka, what have you done!!" she said running over to me and looking at the box and then my hands. "What is this. What¡¦s happing to me?" I said in a shakey voice. "You obsorbed my power. The power that was ment for me to have. You stole it and now you are gaining it. Why did you even attempt to meddle in my things!!" She said. My heart beat faster, and louder, I began to feal faint. I then turned morphed into an owl so I could fly away from Brittany and make the power stop going through me. I flew out the window as I relized that she was changing into a crow to come after and persue me. I flapped my wings harder and faster and began to pick up more speed. But she was faster at it and knew better than I did how to harness the wind and use it for speed. I flew on and my heart beat faster. I knew she was less than 3 yards away from me. I thought I could make a dive and then go around a few trees and lose her. But before I could go with me plan a sharp pain shot through my stomac and caused me to stop flying all together and go into a fall. I couldn¡¦t stop from falling because of the pain. Being that high up in the air I knew I was going to die when I hit the ground. Then everything went black, and there wasn¡¦t anymore pain. Chapter 3 I had fainted. Before I hit the ground Brittany came under me and caught me on her back. She kept me on there long enough to land on the ground safly. I woke up changed back to human and laying on her bed in her room, with all the UltraMorphs and Animorphs around the room waiting for me to come to. "Hi guys." I said weakly smiling and sitting up. Everyone was silent. "Okay, I¡¦m sorry. I didn¡¦t know that the box had a secrety system." I said. "You don¡¦t know even half the story Becka." Brittany said, arms crossed and a serious, stern look on her face. "I was sent to this planet as a child by my real mother. She gave me a power to kill the man that killed my father because that man is on this planet. I trained for nearly a month and learned how to use those powers. I sweated, got really bruised, and even blead a little when I doing a back summer salt and scrapping my knee. So my mother sent me more power and said as soon as I learned how to use those powers she would give me more. Well, to make a long story short, you downloaded the power from that box, my power, into yourself and now I¡¦m not sure there is enough left for me to use. Frankly Becka, I despise the earth you walk on and I will not stand working with you on a team in the UltraMorphs." Brittany said sourly to me. "And that¡¦s why all of us are here. 12 beings with the power to morph. Well, except Tobias. And we are here to decide weather or not we should band you from the group to work on your own." Austin said. "You can¡¦t band me. If you did, I would just go to Visser Three my self and get him to put a Yeerk in. Then everything all of us know, the Yeerks will know." I said. "You wouldn¡¦t do that. You wouldn¡¦t stand for a slimy little slug to be put in your brain. And you wouldn¡¦t want to reveal yourself to the Yeerks, now would you??" Cassie said. "Whoa, the tree hugger, mother earth, just got violent." Marco said. "Shut up." all the Animorphs people said. "I thought is was funny" Justin said. "Shut up." all the UltraMorphs people and I said. "We¡¦ll have a silent vote on weather or not we keep Becka in. Everyone write down your vote on a piece of paper then put it in the cup. Keep in mind that with this war going on that it¡¦s hard enough to trust someone. Buy also keep in mind that she is out friend." Jake said. "I¡¦ll read the votes." Zac said. "Dissmiss, Stay, Dissmis, Dissmiss, Dissmiss, Stay, Stay, Stay, Stay, Stay, Undicieded, and undecided. Okay who are the funny people that wrote those two." Zac said follwed by two outbersts of laughter from Justin and Marco. "Well, since there is six votes for her to stay, four to dismiss her, and two undecided, she stays. But I think that as the leader of the UltraMorphs, we should restrict her from going on any missions for two weeks or in a emergency." Zac said. So that was the verdict. From now on it looked like I would be labled a untrust worthy person. Brittany hated me even more because the next day of school, she brought in our project and said all I had to do was put my name on it. She must have got so mad that she did the project all by herself, and turned it in two days early. After school I saw Zac walking up to me, then he said hi as he walked on past and then over to Cassie. But Cassie was to busy talking to Jake, so Zac just said bye to them and walked on to his house, alone. I felt misserable. My plans for the weekend were just to sit around and fix my hair. Untill Liby called that is. "Becka, the girls and I are going over to the gym at 2:30, want to come?" Liby asked me. "Sure, I¡¦ll meet everyone halfway at Brookers Convenite store." I said through the phone. So I got in my workout suit, packed my water bottle, tennis shoes, fluffy towel, and hair brush in my gym bag, and walked to the gym. Being with my friends reminded me how fun it was just to be a normul kid again. I was happy, and laughing at the things that hadn¡¦t amused me for awhile. I felt like I was in the right spot, were I needed to stay. We worked out for while a the gym then practiced some cheers, even though we weren¡¦t on the cheerleading team yet. We took a short break and while the others girls went to use the bathroom and get ice cream, I took a short walk around. I came to a door that was locked, with no windows. But I knew I could hear someone in there. So quickly looking around, I morphed into a lizard. I slid under the door and hid by the lockers. I focused my eyes and saw training, Brittany. She was practicing using her powers, manvering around obstacals while in a morph, morphing into liquid, zapping things with her power, and using her mind to lift things. Then I had a thought. ¡¥If those power boxes gave her that much power, then howmuch did I absorb and how much can I do with it,¡¦ Just as I finished my thought Cassie and Rachel unlocked the door and came in. Cassie walked over to Brittany while Rachel stayed at the door. "Brittany, you¡¦re going to hurt yourself traning so much. I don¡¦t thing traning for four hours on school day, and twelve each weeken day is good for you. You need a break." Cassie said thoughtfully to Brittany. ¡¥Sickening¡¦ I thought. "If I stop training then Becka will get better and I could lose my powers. i have to keep going, so I¡¦ll only take a short break." Brittany said sitting down on a bleacher. "Well, we¡¦re both worried about you. How ¡¥bout tonight you come over and spend the night. Just the three of us, and maybe Tobias at the window." Rachel said. "Sure, I guess I do need a rest from all the work. Speaking of Tobias, where is he?" Brittany asked. "He needed more sleep. Last night a fox came in one of the barns and we nearly lost a paitent. Tobias flew down from the rafters and chased the fox out. It was a pretty ruff night for a bird I guess." Cassie said. "If my mother would grant me just one small wish, I think I would wish that Tobias could regain the power to morph, and be able to have his own DNA pattern so he could morph to human." Brittany said sorrowfuly. "Don¡¦t worry about it. I think he¡¦s couping with it just fine. Beides, he still has a lot of good friends like you." Rachel said to Brittany. I on the other hand, had to leave. I had training to do if I was going to be better than Brittany.
Chapter 4 Brittany had three things more than I had. She had a knowledge of what her powers were, how to use them, and friends that gave her a lot of confidence that she could use them if she tried. I had to work double what she was if I was going to be better. There wasn¡¦t a prize if I was better than her, just the knowledge that I could defeat my worst enemy. Victory, is lifes greatest triamph. So all Spring Break I worked at the gym. Mainly in gymnastics. Untill the Wednesday of that week when I finaly discovered my powers. After shocking myself on the locker doors I zapped the door back with a liquid zap. It was much like Brittany¡¦s eletric zap. The next power I discovered at home in my room when we blew a fuse. I just wanted electricity so much and focuased on haveing it so much that I turned into a puddle of electricity. It was almost exactly like Brittany¡¦s liquid form, only I knew my form was electricty. I could feal the current flow through me as I moved acrross the floor and then up the wall. It was extrodinary. The fist time I felt light headed and dizzy, but after that I just felt excited. I felt like the energizer bunny. I could go at a full speed movement in that form. I would just keep going and going. Never getting tired. But the problem with this was that I burned down so many energy cells in my body that I had to eat a lot to recharge myself. I didn¡¦t know if Brittany was doing this good in her training or not, but I did know that I was doing just fine. Fianlie my restiction was over and I could go on missions with everyone again. So all of us, both groups went to the Yeerk pools. Zac and I went first, but something happened that no one could expect. They had built in security system. Once you went through the door coming in the Yeerk pool, the computer hocked up to it did a scan check on your DNA. If the computer found that you had the power to morph it would either destroy you into thousenads of pieces or telaport you somewhere. Of course, Zac and I had the power to Morph. When we went through the doors, there was a loud alram and then a bright ray of some sort held Zac and I in the door. I could hear the others shout for it to let us go and Marco and Jake tried to grab us out of the door. But just as Zac caught Jake¡¦s hand and I caught Marco¡¦s, the ray go brighter and stronger and telaported all four of us to the Yeerk Mother Ship. Chapter 5 We landed at the other telaport in less than a minuet. Jake said that we had travled through some sort of worm hole to get there. When I landed my hole body felt like how your foot feels when it¡¦s asleep. The gravity was a little stronger there than what I was used to. I was horror fied. The thing that scared me the most was why there were no gaurds at the teleport door. Well, Jake and Zac didn¡¦t want to stick around and find out. So we all morphed into small animals and left the strange cold, teleport room. It was clear that the teleport door there was one way only. <If we can find a controll room, I can probably find a way to get a map and find a way off this ship.> Jake said as we were scuring across the floor. <Yeah, but what if the controlls are in some weird Yeerk language? How are you going to tell what does what?> Macro asked, <We¡¦ll just have to hope that they¡¦re not in another language. I only know English and bad English.> Zac said. <Okay, now you¡¦re using lines from movies. ¡¥Come on, this is serious.> I said. So we finalie decieded to spilt up and meet back at the red door in two hours. Jake and Marco took off one way while Zac and I looked for the controll room. <I think if we¡¦re going to see anything from a good persepctive then we¡¦ll need just a little bit bigger animal.> Zac said. So I changed into a fox and he into racoon. I liked to be a fox. They were fast, sly, smart, and had a nice sense of how to keep their fur nice. We soon found a room that had a lot of controlls in it. As well as a lot of controllers. Zac and I quickly got into the room and hid under a controll panel were it was pretty dark. We got in there quick enough that no one saw us. I was just catching my breath when I heard a familar voice. "Is everything going somthly??" the voice asked another controller. "Yes Visser Three." the controller answered. "Then if you wouldn¡¦t mind, go to the teleport room IN. We have reports that there was a teleport here from one of our Andalite traps. The cameras were off line so we couldn¡¦t cature it¡¦s photo. Get down there now and fix it." Visser Three said. So the controller left with some other controllers and Visser Three left soon after. The controll room was uncontrolled. Zac and I quickly morphed back and we shut and locked the steel-like door. Zac gasped as he looked at the controlls. They were infact in another alien language, and there wasn¡¦t time to look for a decode book for it. All of the sudden there was an incoming transmission from Earth. "Should we answer it?" Zac asked looking to me for an answer. I was puzzled. If we answered it and they knew we weren¡¦t suposed to be there, we would be in be trouble. But then again, what reason did we have to answer it? Then a very strong feeling came over me. It was like a gut fealing that we should answer it. I knew what to do. I pushed the flashing button and a transmission came in on the vissual screen. "This is Andalite Princess Sares-Esgoth-Ishtill transmitting from Earth. I request a moment to speak to your new prisnors from Earth." was Sara in human form talking into a computer of some sort. "She can¡¦t see or hear us. We have to find out how to activate the talk mode." Zac said as we both searched for it. "Wait a second, I think it¡¦s that one." I said again trusting on my gut fealing. I pushed the button and talked into the microphone on the controll pannel. "This Becka....." I said tring to start. "Becka, are the others all right? Have you been discovered?" Cassie said coming on the screen. "No not yet. We spilt up with Jake and Marco about 15 minuets ago. As far as we know they¡¦re fine. Can Sara or Ax find a way to get us home? The teleportation door we came in through only brings us in here. All the controlls are in a alien laungage, although some of them are color coated." Zac said through the microphone. "Is there a Red button with the simble of the star constalation of Leo?" Ax asked coming on screen. "Yes, there¡¦s one next to a big black one with a place to put your palm in." I said reaching my hand toward the black button with curiosity. "Don not push the black button! That button will destroy the hole ship and eveyone on it. Including all of you. Now, the button with the sign of Leo will bring an on screen map of th hole ship. Pushing the button twice will give you a map of the 2en leavle of the 3rd sector. My knowledge of Yeerk bladships says that on that percise place is the controll, and teleportation leavle. So somewhere on that leavle will be the teleportation out." Sara said. "The trouble is, that there are many teleportation passages and the ones for Earth could place all of you anywhere on your planet. That is also a problem because you humans do not have access to a high speed veiachle to return to this part of the planet where I currently am." Ax said. "So you¡¦re saying that if all of us could even make it as far to that part of the leavle to the teleportation doors, that we could go through the wrong one and land anywhere on the planet or in the Galexy for that matter?" I said in a worried voice. "Anywhere in the Universe actually." Sara said. "Well, I have a plan of how to get all the controllers away from that spot if you can help give us a clue to which door to take to get transported to where we need to go." Zac said. "The door will most likly have a the simble of the planet Saturn above it. There could be more than one door with the simble but it¡¦s up to you to make the dissition of which one to take." Sara said. "We must end transmition. We are using human power to comunicate with you. Good Luck my friends." Ax said as static flooded the picture and the transmition ended. We pushed the button twice and found where the teleportation room we needed was. Zac then had a great idea to make a diversion. He went to the master controll box and pulled the alarm switch. A loud alarm rang through the ship and followed by a loud sound of running through the floors. "Now¡¦s the time that we find Marco and Jake." Zac said. as he unlocked the door then morphed into a badger. I followed his lead and morphed into a cat so I could at least move the door open to get out. Zac and I then ran to the place that we agreeded to meet up with Jake and Marco. <Becka, if we should make it out. I want you to know that I would like it if you would.... If you could be my.... I mean...> Zac started. <If your asking me if I¡¦ll be your girlfriend, then sure.> I said smiling to myself. <Thanks, I didn¡¦t know how long I could keep it up.> He said. We travle for a few more minuets then spotted Jake and Macro. (Hey, what other rabbit and beaver would be on a Yeerk Mother Ship?) Zac told the plan to Jake and Marco until we reached the teleportation room. The alarm was still going off so there were no controllers in the teleportation room. We all unmorphed then I shut and locked the door to the room. Zac found only one door with the simble of Saturn above it. We were lucky. We all said that we hoped to see each other on the other side and then one by one we all went through the door.
We all ended up under the school. The rest of the Animorphs were on a misson there so we were all able to escape the Yeerk Pool safly. The next day of school was really good. I got a A in my Math class, and after school Zac and I walked home together. He didn¡¦t even speak to Cassie except for saying hi. It looked like she was to busy talking to Jake anyway. I then went to the gym and trained for awhile. I stopped when I heard the sound of someone turning a key in the door. "Who¡¦s there?" I said looking at the door. "Oh, just someone. I had heard you were training here and I wanted to see if you could match my strength. So come on give me your best shot." the person said walking inside the room and revealing her face from the shadows. "Brittany. It would seem that by now you would take you lose and just quit by now. What do i have to do to convense you just to stay away." I said perparing myself to fight, both of my eyes focused on Brittany and my mind consentrating on the mission. "I will never lose against you. I am a daughter of an Elimist. I have earned my powers. You just steal yours. Besides, if I fight you I¡¦ll have more training in the Art of Victory." Brittany said locking the door and walking over to were I stood. There we were. Both of us face to face. Ready to fight. I didn¡¦t say so but I could feal her power. Underneith my ego I could feal myself cowerding. I knew that I didn¡¦t have a chance aginst her. She had been traing for too long and was to focused to give up. But I knew I had to try. I powered up. With my consentration, I formed a ball of power, something I could use to throw at the opponit to weaken or hurt her. I wasn¡¦t surpised when I saw her forming her own ball of power. Her¡¦s was pink. It was like her slogan color. Mine was purple or violet. Which ever you like to call it. "It¡¦s called the spirt bomb. It only hurts the enemy. But sometimes the enemy can use it aginst you. My mother told me it could only be controlled by a spirt with a strong will and a good soul. So I have full confidence in my spirt bomb." Brittany said completing the forming of her eletromagnet ball of power and energy. "I don¡¦t have a trainer, but I push myself to go the full extent. So are we going to fight or stand and talk?" I said completing my spirt bomb. "You can't wait can you?" she said focusing on controlling the bomb. "One." I said. "Two." the word rolled off her tonge naturly. "Three." I said as sweat poured off my forehead. "Go!" We both sheirked as each one of us pushed the bomb at the other. Using out mind to controll the dirrection, our force within to keep it going, and our power to make our aim be ture. My bomb was no less than 5 seconds to impact as I watched it go toward her. She dashed it just in time, as her bomb hit me with a powerful blow to the stomac knocking me over. We both were silent. The breath was knocked out of me and my mind wnet blank as I tried to find an explantion for what happened. I pushed my bruised and shaking body to my feet and consentrated on forming a liquid shot as she formed her electrical one. We both threw our shots at the same time and then our shots colided as they hit together. We were both exahsted and took quick breaths to get ready for the other¡¦s next move. She lept in the air to do a high kick. I did a flip in the air and landed four feet to to the side of where I was standing. Moving just in time to escape her blow. I did a few quick cart wheels over to her and then kicked foward with all my strength and power. Falling through with the kick every second untill I hit my target. She recovered quickly, and was very enraged. I could do no more attacks. I was to weak but to do anything but defend myself. I recieved blow after blow. Some knocking me after my feet, some penittraing my stomac. Until one of her most poweful hits knocked my head to the ground, leaving me powrless and open to attack. I lay on the ground helpless, almost lifeless. "I don't want to hurt you farther. Give up now, please! She begged with a sob in her voice. "No, I won't give you the satisfaction." I said weakly as I heard the gym door open and out of the corner of my eye, saw the Animorphs and UltraMorphs all come in. Zac hurried over to me and lifted my head and put in on a pile of towels. Cassie and Rachel went over to Brittany to tend to her wounds. Marco and Justin stood around until they were needed. Jake helped Zac as much as he could by giving me water and so forth. Tobias and Austin helped Brittany and questioned her as to what happened. Sara and Ax stood and examined th scen. "Brittany has grown more powerful with this victory. You can expect that she will soon earn more powers." Ax said to Sara. "Yes, but Becka has also gained more power and experance. And even though she isn'¦t a daughter of an Elimst, she has earned more power and has the right to train with it." Sara said to Ax. That's how my life is now. Very strange with many things that can happen. Always a adventure, many times it's full of pain. But either way, I remain an UltraMorph. |
