The Newcomer

By: Josh

Linci-Cernal-Centure

   My full name is Linci-Cernal-Centure. I have stowaway on an Andalite battle cruiser. I was running away from my homeworld. I had nothing except the morphing power. I would occasionally go get a bit of grass from the large dome at night when the others were asleep.
    Then it happened.
    We were very near to Earth, and that’s when the yeerks struck. Full force. All fighters went out to their posts or fighters. I was panicked. Then a War Prince found me and took me to the captain. Since we were in the middle of a battle I was told to go to the dome and wait, but I didn’t I went straight to the fighters. I took the best and newest one there. I wanted to fight but I really wanted to get payback for what they did to the Great War Prince Elfangor. The news had spread that he had died.
    My ship was hit and I plummeted to Earth. My only hope was to find Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill that last known survivor. On the dome ship lost so long ago. I sent a telepathic message to all andalites on Earth. As I fell I heard they cry of dying andalites and the hideous laughter of the yeerks after their victory.

Tobias

    Hi, my name is Tobias. I can’t tell you my last name or where I live. Actually I can it’s a meadow. Yeah a meadow, know why I am a hawk, a nothlit.
    A nothlit is someone who stays in a morph too long and stays that.
    There’s my friend Ax (Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill) he is an andalite. An andalite is a cross between a blue deer, and human, and a scorpion. His tail is what shows the best. It is the scorpion part. A large tail mounted with a blade at the end. And I’m talking sharp. Like one second there’s a head another WACK!!!! No head. Anyways he was galloping towards me.
    And all of a Sudden I felt strange I heard this voice "calling" me. It said,< help me, Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, anyone please help. Please HELP!!!! >. Then came a vision of a abandoned construction (not the one you’re
thinking of). Then it was gone.
    When I was awake Ax was holding me. He was saying< Tobias, wake up! Tobias, the dreams gone hurry we must go >. By the time I was O.K. Ax was in his harrier morph and we were off towards the construction site.
    Not too smart. We never told anyone where we were going. When we got there I saw something. It was
almost the same as Elfangor’s but smaller. An Andalite fighter!!!!!
    At first I thought yes more Andalite warriors to fight. But no what walked out was a rather small Andalite.

Ax (Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill)

    < Hello, cousin Andalite >, I said. She was beautiful. Of course anything would be from my homeworld. It’s been too long since I have seen a real Andalite. Real meaning not Visser 3.

Marco

    I was home watching the tube when a phone call came. I answered, "Hello, Cute Guy Center can I take your order?" It was Jake. He said there is a meeting at the barn. I knew something was up because we usually talk in code like, "can you come over to do that report now?" or something like that so it had to be good.
    I walked in. Rachel was there. Easy target for a joke.
    "Hi Xena" I said.
    She answered back, "Hi frog boy".
    I said commented back, "Kiss I’ll be your prince."
    Of course Tobias stepped in and swooped at me. Obviously on perpose, Rachel and him like as in LIKE eachother. Of course don’t tell that I said
it.
    When everyone was there (Jake, me, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Ax) Tobias said, "everyone please meet Linci-Cernal-Centure." My mouth was open so wide that doctor could operate on my tonsils. It was an andalite! A real andalite.

Ax (Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill)

    < This is Linci, her short name that is. She is an Andalite. Obviously. She has crash-landed here. Tobias and I went to save her at an abandoned site in _________ville. > When everybody was done staring I said, < Please tell us what happened that you landed here. >
    She just stared. <I can’t tell you > she said.
    < That’s O.K. >

Jake

    "Whoa O.K., so we have an Andalite here. This isn’t what I wanted to talk about so how about we do." Tobias disagreed,
    "No why don’t say what are next move will be. Let Linci get some action her first time on Earth."
    "All right", I started "I have talked to Erek the Chee. He says that the yeerks have a new controller. The football coach. Now this isn’t funny, because if the coach says something the players do it. So if he says go to the Sharing then they will then they get people and this will be a quick way to get controllers (people controlled by yeerks). The plan is easy and we will need everyone. Were gonna get the coach a disease that will make the yeerk go "bonkers" as Erek says. The yeerk won’t die but will suffer. See the chee made the disease and the disease makes you want to eat oatmeal."

Rachel

    "Yes!!!" I exclaimed "That’s what makes the yeerks nuts and the controllers are free again right?!?!"
    < Right > Ax said.
    "Let’s do it!" I said.
    "Go figure that Rachel would say that. The mighty Xena never fails to say it." Marco of course.

Linci-Cernal-Centure

    < Now what do I do Prince Jake? > I said.
    "Don’t call me prince! You get his attention by running through the wood and talking in thought speech. Then he chases you. But he won’t catch you because we hit him with the disease and he is unconscious for awhile long enough for you to morph and fly out of there."
    < Yes Prince Jake. >
    I followed Prince Jake’s order and ran through the woods, while talking to the coach. < Hey yeerk scum, come and get me! >
    "Andalite," he said.
    < HAHAHAHA! What’s wrong yeerk too slow? Hahaha! >
    "I’ll get you and…AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! OH MAN!!!!!! OUCH! THAT HURTS!!! UGGGHHHH!!!!!"
    < Go Linci! Haul butt!!! Now!!! > Tobias exclaimed
    I quickly morph to a red-tailed hawk (which Tobias said was the best kind) and flew to the barn to meet with the others.
    "Great job Linci!," everyone said.
    When we were leaving Ax came up to me and ask if I wanted to play. I said yes, and we played for many Earth hours. When the sun started to set Ax came and touched his hand on my face. I blushed (that’s an Andalite kiss you know).
    < This might not be so bad here on Earth now. > He said.
    < Yes I know. >
    And with that we went to are meadow now our home. Tomorrow is tomorrow and it will always be there.

Tobias

    I knew it was late but I went over to Cassie’s barn. Rachel had gotten me some clothes and I morphed to my human form. I put on the Tommy Hilfiger clothes and walked to Rachel’s house.
    I threw a few pebbles at her window. She came to look out. She left the window and came out. She always looks great. Perfect all the way around.
    She came over and gave me a hug. "Want to go to a movie or get something to eat?,"I said
    "Sure" she said.
    And with saving the football team and having a new team member and all the other things in the world, I felt good.
