Chapter 1

My name is Sares-Esgoth-Ishtill.
I am an Andilite.
My journey started when our Andilite dome ship was flying over the planet of Earth. Out of the dark space, out of nowhere at all, came a yeerk blade ship. Our ship, being mostly of females and children, had no way to defend ourselves against it.
My mother panicked and locked me in a escape pod. She ran back to get my female sibling when a metal beam from the our ship collapsed on the both of them. As I remained helpless with my face against the window on the air lock, I saw my dieing mother looking toward me with her suffering eyes.
<Mother, no! I can't leave you!> I yelled in thought speech.
<You won't leave me as long im in your heart. now go>
<Mother. I'm too young! I can't survive!>
< Sares-Esgoth-Ishtill, leave now.> were my mother's last words as she died.
<Mother!> I cried. 
And just as I was getting ready to leave, I noticed the living sector of the dome ship blow off of the ship and fall towards the Earth atmosphere. As it did so, I noticed one of my Andalite cousins inside.
And so with my Andalite survival kit, my mini Andalite computer, my Dracon Beam, and 1 week supply of air and food, I followed after my Andalite cousin onto a strange and dangerous planet of deadly obstacles and many perils.

Chapter 2

Approximently 255 feet in front of me, the dome continued to fall faster and farther until it hit the Earthling water surface.
"Earth is 2/3 summered in water with oxygen vapor in the air" my computer reported
With that note I couldn't get it out of my mind that I too would fall into the waves of blue-green water below.
But by some strange fate, the escape pod crashed onto the top of a small mountain. I stepped out of the air lock and feasted my four eyes on the strange plants around me. I traveled through a group of trees and discovered the mountain rolling down towards the violent water with which connected to the blue horizon dotted with many clouds of different kinds.
If I would have paid more attention to the surroundings earlier, I would have seen five Earthly creatures climbing another side of the mountain that appeared less steep and easier to clime.
I listened closely to their conversation.
"If it wasn't for Justin and his dumb bet with Jeremy the Jerk we wouldn't have to clime this stupid hill when we could be watching the afternoon Science Fiction double feature at the movies!" said a skinny male with brown hair.
"Hey! If it wasn't for Brittany cheering me on not to be a chicken I wouldn't have excepted!" said a chubbier second male with a light tan and dark brown hair.
"Don't blame this on me, Justin! If you weren't two years younger than me I would clobber you!" said a female with short light brown hair.
"Guys just shut up! I'm aggravated enough as it is!!" said a third male.
"I agree with you Zac" said another female with long brown hair.
I quickly got my Dracon Beam from the ship and tranquilized them when they got to the top.
After a few minuets of them being unconscious, one by one each of them awoke.
"Uhhhh. We come in peace?" said the third male.
"Hey, is this another one of Jeremy's scams? How much is he paying you?" said the first female.
"This is out of this world! And I mean waaaaaay out of this world. Like from Star Wars!" said the first male.
"Look at the pretty horsy!" said the second female apparently still dingy from the stun.
"Who are you??"questioned the second male.
<that is no use to any of you earthlings. are you infested?> I asked still pointing my Dracon Beam at the five of them.
But for some reason they just stared at me.
"How did you do that?!" one of them finally asked.
< thought speech of course.> I replied
"Uh, guys. What is that? I know it's not a Stealth Bomber." said the first male staring at a aircraft in the sky.
"Call 1-800-UFO!!" said the first male.
<I've been discovered!!> I exclaimed at the site of a Yeerk blade ship. I yelled running to the escape pod with all five earthlings behind me.

Chapter 3

It came from out of nowhere, it's mission to destroy any Andalites that it came in contact with. I knew that when it came to Yeerks, there was no mercy for the unyeerked.
It was either be Yeerked or die. It was hard enough for all 6 of us to fit into the pod. I could tell that they were scared.
 I said trying to change the subject.
"Listen blue dude, we're only kids! Children! Too young to have to go through something like this! This is just too much to handle in one day!" the first female exclaimed.
"Yeah. I mean, one minuet we were all climbing up the mountain, the next we got zapped by some stun gun, and now some dude in a spaceship is trying to kill us!" the third male said as the blade ship fired another shot around 12 feet away from the pod.
<You mean to say that you are only hatchlings?> I said in surprise.
"Yeah, we're the smaller version. The midgets, the short guys, the little people, kids!!" said the second female.
"This is nuts! I'm outta here!!" and with that the second male ran from pod with me running after him to keep him from getting hurt.
< earthling stop now!!> I said as I continued to run.
< urrgggggggg.> I was nearly hit, I barley managed to dodge the dibrey when a large rock hit my foreleg.
<get to the ship now!> and with that the Earthling and his friends rushed me into the pod under the circumstances that from the excruciating pain, I couldn't walk.
"Justin you almost got us killed!" said the first male.
<calm yourselves. i relize that this is his and all of yours first battle with the yeerks.......uggggg....the pain....>I managed to send to them in thought speech.
"You...... you...... your blood is blue too!! Oh my you're bleeding!" said the first female.
< yes..... im not sure have much time....... need to give you all something so that if i...... cant make it..... continue the fight for your race.....>
and with that I pulled out a cube from my Andalite survival kit.
"What is that??said the second male.
<a weapon to help you fight....... the power morph into animals...... like an andalite ...... urggggg>
"Animals??"said the second female.
I nodded.
<each of you put your hand on a side the cub........ go on......this gift is for you to justin.>
"How did you??"said the one called Justin. (the second boy)
< your friends call you that name....... now remove your hands....... now you have the power>
and then I leaned back, nearly falling asleep. I wanted to fall asleep, but I knew I couldn't.
"How do we morph?" asked the first boy.
<you place your hand on a animal and acquire its dna. then you think aboutthe way moves......the looks.....the moves so gracefully...... just change......> I said.
Just then the second girl cracked open the air lock and picked up a strange winged insect that was getting closer. She got her arm and the insect inside the air lock and closed it right before there was another shot fired.
<acquire it. dont stare at it> I moaned in thought speech.
A few seconds later five children and one Andalite morphed into the creatures.
 said he who is Justin.
 said the first girl.
said the second girl.
<we can fly!> said the third male.
 said the first male
<Austin, now you're starting to sound like the Andalite.> said Justin.
< Yeah, like that's anything new.> said the first female.
<my name is austin.> said the first male to me.
< mine is zac> replied the third male to me.
< hi-ya. my name is brittany.> answered the first female.
<wowwwwwwww. weeeeeeee! myyyyyyyyyy nameeeeeeeeeeee is becka!> said the second female zooming around with her new found powers.
<greetings and salutations. my name is sares-esgoth-ishtill.>
< uhhhhh yeah...........what else would it be..........> said Zac.
< Yeah, I mean. You are a alien.> said Justin.
< are you even female? if dont mind my asking.> replied Becka, finally coming down.
< oh yes! i just love what youve done with your hair! now the skinm sure mascara will fix that right up. come onbecka. is it? an alien right? well some things aliens dont have.> said Brittany
At once the children began to break out in laughter.
 I stated puzzled at their laughter, this being the first time I'd heard it from this species.
< hmmmmmmmmmmm. how is the name sara? you know, as a code name. its lot shorter than s......s..... what-ever-it-is.> said Austin.
< yeah. Sara Ish. if anyone should askyoure from out of town.> said Brittany.
< oh yeah people are going to ask a big blue alien where its from. reality check. i mean hello. look at the obvious. think would most likely run first.> stated Becka.
 I, Sara, said.
<Why??> replied Becka.
<we can only stay in a morph for two hours, any more than that and you are stuck permanently.>
At this statement everyone paused for a moment. I think this knowledge scared them. But after a few moments of silence, Zac said something that broke the uncommon pause. <hey guys, here is a small crack in the door. we can get out this way.>
and with that we escaped from the pod and Yeerk blade ship before the controller host noticed.

Chapter 4

We flew on for many minuets with the children playing tag and laughing at each others puns. The miles of ocean rolled on and every once in a while a strong gust of wind would come and make it hard for our small wings to fight it.
Finally we came to a sand bar that barely peeked out of the water, but still would be sufficient for our small party morphing back to out natural shapes. So on my command we landed and changed back.
"Wow! That was fun!" exclaimed Zac.
"Yes, most educational and influential. Just kidding, it was fun." said Austin.
"Yeah, but now my hair is a mess! Oh no! Look! A tangle!" stressed Becka.
"Yeah, it was fun up there in the sky, and it didn't bother my fear of heights too much either." said Brittany stretching out in the sand.
"You all are idiots! That was nuts! We could have been killed!" contrasted Justin.
"We should get back soon, I have to be back in time to do my homework." said Brittany.
< Yes, but first I must acquire all of your DNA patterns. And I suggest we find another winged animal that could fly faster and farther>
So while I acquired everyone else, Zac searched around for a bird.
"There!" said Austin pointing to the sky before I acquired his DNA.
So I got the Dracon Beam that I had slipped into his pocket and stunned the animal. I finished acquiring the children then acquired the bird.
"Well, what does your human form look like?" edged Brittany.
So, combining all of their DNA patterns (not the bird's) I morphed into a female, shoulder length light brown hair, blue eyes, pale complexion, and around the age of 13 human years old.
Luckily the three males I had asked to turn away for I was not sure I were going to morph clothes the first time. And also luckily, Brittany had her softball uniform in her book-bag that was just my size. After getting the aid of the two girls, I was properly dressed and we were all able to rest for a few minuets. I practiced walking on two legs and seeing with two eyes. The longer hair was somewhat of a problem but Becka lent me a "scrunchie" hair bow which held my hair back.
After a few more minuets we all morphed into the newly acquired bird and flew away to Becka's shore house on the mainland about 30 minuets away.
We all changed back to our normal forms while we were in Becka's fenced in back yard.
Shortly after I resumed my own shape I turned into the form they call "Sara Ish". Becka then after gave me a tour of her house and ended in her human sleeping chamber called "the bedroom". It contents were a large box surrounded with wood and filled with a water balloon-like substance, a view panel of the back yard, a large wooden "dresser", a "vanity", many visual pictures hung from the wall, and many small items so many that it would take far too long to recount them all much less tell them to you.
"Hey, Beck. When will JR. be back from looney world?" Brittany said walking into the room.
"He's constantly in loony world, it's his state of being." replied Austin coming in behind Brittany.
"Yeah, really. He's at his computer geek meeting at DJ Shark's house." Becka stated.
"Oh that's- uh- just- ummmm- well you see-?"stammered Austin as I caught on.
"No explanation needed. I'm too confused at this moment." I spoke.
"My dad will be home at 7:00 and JR. is going to stay the night over there." said Becka grooming her hair.
"Good. We have about 2 hours to hold a meeting. Our first meeting." said Zac coming into the room and sitting on Becka's bed.
"Okay, first we need a name for what we are. I mean, we can't hold meetings that we refer to as -the-same-kind-of-meeting-we-had-last-night. That takes to long." said Brittany.
"Really." agreed Austin.
"How 'bout Ultra-Morphs. Ya know, like the book series by Dave J. Humor." suggested Becka.
"Book series? More like comic books." replied Brittany.
"How should I know. My brother reads them all the time.?said Becka.
"Yeah, there's no way you would know. All you read are glamour magazines on how to catch a boyfriend even though your butt ugly!" shot out Brittany.
"You know, I feel so loved in this room, OF INSANITY!" stated Justin.
"You get the feeling that Brittany and Beck don't like each other," whispered Austin to me.
"Okay, everyone just SHUT UP! I happen to like Becka's idea." Zac said smiling and flirting at Becka with the corner of his eye.
"Well, now we need to deiced who will be our leader." said Austin.
"Me!" Becka and Brittany both said at the same time.
"You couldn't be leader if your life depended on it!" argued Becka.
"Well, you can be leader. As soon as you pass the sixth grade you mental guppy!" said Brittany.
"Get a life!" Becka shouted
"No thanks. I'll wait until you get one and maybe than I'll give it a try." replied Brittany smartly.
"Girls stop it!! Stop it!!" said Justin.
"I think Zac should be leader.?said Austin comely.
"Who asked you!!?shouted both girls at the same time.
"Me! How could I be leader! I have so much-" but Zac was cut off.
"Try it the democratically way. There will be a vote. Then the winner shall lead over." I suggested.
But just then there was a noise downstairs.
"My dad!"
"Oh crap! How are we going to explain this!" said Austin.
"Yeah, especially in two hours time when the big blue girl needs to change back." said Justin.
"I can leave if permitted. That is, if it would be trouble to hide myself." I suggested.
"Yeah. Austin, Justin and I will go with you. That way you can have time to change back in a private and safe spot." said Zac.
"Me! Hey, I hate to fly!!" said Justin.
"Think of it this way, you'll earn more frequent flyer miles." punned Austin.
"And I'm not staying here with Becka. Just being here-" but Brittany was cut off.
"Becka. Hey peanut nose. Can I come in" said Becka's dad from the hallway outside the door.
"Guys, come on. Now." whispered Zac.
"Just a minuet dad! My room is a mess!" shouted Becka.
A few minuets later the other four of us changed into a bird. I, changing to Andalite first, then to bird and Becka staying in the room so that her father wouldn't get supisous.
"Bye Becka, I'll call you later" whispered Zac getting on the window seal in sea-gull form.
"Come-on people." said Brittany already flying out.
"Becka. Are you in there with someone?" said Becka's dad next to the door now
"Just a minuet dad!!" shouted Becka.
"Let's be off." said Zac with Justin, Austin, and I behind him.

Chapter 5

We went off to Zac's house about 10 miles away. We did, however have one problem. A very strange problem. We were flying over a street named Maple and 3 when both Brittany and Zac had a indescribable pain which nearly caused then to hit a near by tree branch.
We all stooped to rest a minuet on the tree to see to the problem. There was not anyone close by. Except what Justin called the living dead from the cemetery. I later looked up cemetery in a dictionary and it described it as a burial for the belovedly diseased. But anyway, we made it to Zac's house shortly.
There was no one home and luckily Zac said his family wasn't as noise as Becka's. We then came a upon the problem of where I was to be kept while they were at "school" and just anywhere that I would be safe when I was not in human morph.
"How 'bout my dad's farm? There is a really old barn that I played in when I was a kid that my dad doesn't use anymore. He doesn't have any use for it cause it's too close to the edge of the woods and to far away from the house and the road." suggested Austin, his dad being an Agricultural Harvester. Or as he put it "farmer".
"Sounds good to me. How 'bout you guys. Aaaand girls. Aaaand Andalites. Okay! How does it sound to you living and breathing organisms that can speak English and thought speech." said Zac.
"Uhhh. Fine?" said Justin confused.
"Fine." said Brittany.
"It sounds reasonably safe and if I were permitted to do so, I would like to inspect it to make sure of it being well built and the dome intact." I said.
"Uhhh. You mean roof? Sure, anytime." said Austin.
"Yes of course." I replied.
"Then I guess it's a yes." said Zac.
"Oh, wait guys. I have to go to my computer economics course today. I can't take her there until late." said Austin.
"Hmmmmmm. I guess she could stay here and spend the night." Zac suggested.
"Uh. I think that might be hard her being a girl. Maybe she should stay at my house." said Brittany.
"Okay then." said Zac.
�Where is your home located Brittany??"I asked weary from flying around the town, which was a hard trip in sea gull form.
�Another 10 miles I�m afraid." said Brittany apparently also weary from the long journey.
�You can make it there in about 20 minuets if you had a new bird form.?said Zac.
�What form do you suggest??" I asked.
�How �bout a hawk.?said Austin.
�Sounds neat to me. Plus it might be nice riding on the wind current for awhile instead of struggling to fly against it."Brittany said.
�Yeah, but guys. How are we suposed to get hold of a hawk and it�s DNA." said Justin stopping to look at Brittany�s devilish grin.
�Brittany, why do you look like that for,?said Austin backing away.
�Cause I picked up this after Sarah dropped it." said Brittany revealing my Dracon Beam.
�My Dracon Beam! I thought I had lost it! Now give it here, it�s not for the use of-"I stopped before saying children because I was still a young Andalite and hated hearing that told to me. So instead I said �Earthlings? In it�s place. "
�Not this time. I want to see how you harness the power of this thing." and before I could stop her she had lept to the window and shot down large branch across the street.
Luckily, the dog that was below it moved fast enough not to be harmed.
�Wow! Cool! It�s Weird Science!?exclaimed Brittany.
�Let me." I said taking the Beam and very swiftly shooting a Hawk, tranquilizing it. It fell to the ground and just as I was going to jump out after it Austin stopped me saying that I couldn�t jump down from a two story building.
So Brittany and I went down the human way by the stairs and acquired the DNA pattern.

Chapter 6

About half an hour later Brittany snunk me into her bedroom by the window where I changed back to my regular form and she to her�s.
She said that I was to come down-stairs to meet her family and eat a human meal. She explained to me the use of utensils such as knives and forks. She said that I just say yes to everything I said. That would be safer she said.
�Oh and, you might need to change back into a person again." ended Brittany getting ready to go downstairs.
�I shall meet you down there." I said forming a human mouth.
�Where�s your friend from?" asked Brittany�s mother coming in from work.
�Oh, she just moved into town. She lives close to Austin. I�m just showing her around for awhile. Oh, can she spend the night tonight? There�s a monster feast movie special and I wanted to watch it with a friend."said Brittany hopping up from the couch to take her mother�s coat and put it in the coat closet.
�Uhh. Well it�s sort of short notice."said her mother sitting down in the recliner across the room from the couch that I still sat on.
�Oh please mom! She already asked her parents and they said it was fine," pleaded Brittany.
�Well, okay. But your dad�s going to work late tonight. They have a lot of orders to fill." said her mother.
�Mom, he works at Rite-Aid."said Brittany.
�Well, it seems that the company needs a lot of aspirin for one reason or another. They must get a lot of head aces or something."
"Aspirin! Hehehehehehaha. Now that�s weird science! Haha." said Brittany slouching against the wall.
�Dinner was going to take a while for what I was going to fix, so I got pizza instead. Does your friend like pizza?"asked Brittany�s mom.
I didn�t know what pizza was so I looked at Brittany puzzled.
�Oh I forgot to ask your name. I�m Brittany�s mom."
�My name is Sarah Ish. I do not have �pizza" where I come from but it sounds interesting to try."I replied.
�Nice to meet you Sarah. Brat, why don�t you go out and get the pizza out of the car while I sit down and relax."said Brittany�s mother propping her feet up on a foot stole.
�Okay. Hey Sarah, want to come with me?"
�Why not?" I said simply.
�That was an excellent meal."I said after dinner that night.
�Well, all I did was take it out of the grocer�s freezer and bring it home."said Brittany�s mom placing the dishes in a box like object called a �dish washer"
�Well mom, we�re going to go upstairs and study for awhile."said Brittany pulling me by the hand so that I would go with her upstairs.
�Your parental unit is very different from mine."I said once we were in the upstairs hall way.
�Where are you from anyway?"she said opening her door.
�I- I come from a place far away.?I replied remembering who I really was.
�Well I knew that, but where exactly?"she said jumping down on her bed.
�It is of no use to you to know earthling."I replied trying to keep Andalite secrets secret the way they should have been before I stunned the children.
�What do you mean Earthling? Hey, if we�re going to be friends I need to know something�s about you. And remember, my name is Brittany."
<Can�t you see that something�s I know need to remain a secret? I shouldn�t have even made contact with you today! I am Andalite and you are human, we should have no knowledge of each other.> I said changing back to Andalite.
�Sorry I just asked where you were from."She said turning away evidently hurt.

Chapter 7

I had a very restless night.
I was homesick. I kept seeing the dreadful attack by the Yeerk blade ship. My mother and sister-.
Everything.
I knew then that I needed to go back and get anything that would be of use for me to contact my Andalite cousin with. That way we could attempt to leave this planet together.
There was a Ultra-Morph meeting at Austin�s house. Brittany said that we would ride bikes there. I learned the concept rather quickly. It took us around 15 minuets to travel there. I couldn�t see why we didn�t fly there but she said it had something to do with the feel of it. She wanted to travel the normal way for awhile.
�This morning when I got up I prepared the barn for Sarah. There�s a space blanket, a battery operated lantern, and some fruit. I put it in the hay loft thinking that would be more suitable than the ground floor."Austin said once everyone was in his bedroom.
�So why didn�t we just meet in the barn instead of in this space museum."Becka said for the fact that all of Austin�s room had fiction space models and posters of human �movies".
There was even a module of the Milky Way solar system hanging from the dome or ceiling as they call it. Also a human computer system was located in the corner of the room as well as bed close to the view panel or window.
�Well I thought that I could show Sarah my human computer first to see how primitive she really thinks we are."replied Austin.
�Later space man. We have more important things to do."said Becka.
�Like wah?"said Justin finally getting into the conversation.
�Like deciding if we should go back to the mountain or not."said Zac.
�The mountain. Are you nuts! We almost got killed the first time and you want to try it again!"empathized Justin.
�Don�t you think that Sarah might want to salvage something from the ship to make a communicator to her people?"said Becka.
�Don�t you think that the controllers have already salvaged everything and took it back to their headquarters.?"debated Brittany.
�Both of you are right but there just might be something in that pod we can use."said Austin.
<There is the matter of getting my belongings. My things in there are very important to me and might be of use to you in your fight.> I stated.
�But wouldn�t the controllers have already taken everything?"Zac said.
<They can not enter the pod and wouldn�t want to destroy it. So they couldn �t get into it. Plus the pod is very much to strong to break into if my calculations on human knowledge is correct.>I said.
�How can�t they get into it?"Zac asked.
<All pods from our ship are protected from the use of other races by a simple factor. To open the handle it self, which is the way to enter the pod, you must contain the power to morph.>
�Well, hopefully nothing will go wrong."quavered Becka.
We flew there in our newly acquired hawk form. Luckily, the kids had forgot their mountain climbing equipment so we still had a way to get up there or down from there if we had to. But flying was faster so we used that option instead. We all flew over to the top of a tree near the pod. The area was infested with controllers.
<What exactly are controllers Sarah?> Becka asked.
<They look like ordinary beings. They act like them, they know the same things as them, but they are not who you think they are. They have a tiny alien slug that makes the being do whatever the slug wants it to. These sluggish creatures are what I have referred to as the Yeerks. The Yeerks get in to your human brain by crawling into the ear. Every three day the controller must return to the kadrona pool to �recharge"the Yeerk. It isn�t an easy task to destroy a whole alien race with four children and a child Andalite.> I replied.
<Whoa. Makes you think doesn�t it?> Austin said.
<I�m aware that this isn�t your fight. So all that I ask of you is that you help me to retrieve my things so that I may be reunited with my Andalite cousins.> I said.
<Not our fight? Hey the last time I checked this was our problem. Step aside big blue, I�m going to kick their slimy Yeerk butt off my planet.> Brittany stated getting ready to do a nose dive onto one of the controllers.
<NO! You don�t understand. You alone cannot fight them off. If you weren�t killed by Visser 3, then you also would become a controller and help them to take over your planet.> I calmed her.
<I�m not going to perch here all day waiting for them to say �Okay, you can take your planet back now? I want to fight them!!> Brittany screeched in thought speech.
 I said.
 Zac said.
So the six of us went to an Animal Preserve called a zoo where as we could take into knowledge animals that would be beneficial to morph into. There were predators and prey. Strong monster like fighters, and then the more tame that would rather play then work.
�Okay guys I got a idea. I�ll go pull the fire alarm and when I do, we�ll all go in and morph into an animal. Be very careful whatever you do. And don�t waste time."Said Austin before he went to pull the alarm.
A few minuets later there was a strange noise and everyone running out of the zoo. That was the sign to acquire now while we all had the chance. I need not worry about the morph because I had Andalite animals that I could morph into.
The others however needed this chance to gain their morphs. And with Brittany a Horse, Zac a Bald Eagle, Becka a Panda, Austin a Tiger, and Justin a Camel, we were the Ultra-Morphs.
<A Camel? What are you going to do, spit them to death?> Austin asked.
<Hey, it was the only thing I could think of! And for your information they can bite too.> replied Justin.
<Oh boy, here we go again.> said Zac.
