#CHASE TEH PREY ANIMAL??

[thenixkat]

ANimorphs notes 7

Book 7

Narrated by Rachel

The bear on the cover is really humanoid

Mindless slaves is very inaccurate

Parents are divorced

Dad used to be a gymnast

Rachel doesn’t like someone using cattle prods on elephants and decides to do something about it

Rachel does not care if others perceive her as pretty

Its lucky that dude wasn’t a controller

Rachel is athletic

Cassie is ashamed of Rachel’s aggression

International Elephant Police

Jake is not happy

“But I'm not one of those morons who is just into danger for its own sake. It's not about cheap

thrills. It's about feeling like I am involved in something very important. I mean, let's face it -

as corny as it sounds, we are trying to help save the world.”

Oh cool I can copy/paste stuff

Jake and Rachel never hung out much b4 the elfangor thing

I still don’t understand why Jake is in charge?

Another reference to Marco being dark

Why are Cassie and Rachel friends? There must be some reason why.

How did Rachel kinda know Tobias b4hand?

KA Applegate has a ‘birds of prey look fierce and majestic’ fetish

How much time has passed that you know Ax and consider him a friend?

Ax was attacked by a cougar

Marco playships Rachel and Ax

Marco and Tobias did some spying

Ax nodded. <Yeerk pools are generally large and elaborate. They are an important part of

Yeerk life. The centers of their lives, really. The pools are, for the Yeerks, what forests and

meadows are to Andalites. >

I really don’t think andalites would do well in a dense forest

Tobias follows from the air while Marco frikkin follows controllers inside buildings

It's a good thing that surveillance cameras don't exist in this world

Ax talks like a little bitch who’s never been in a fight

Andalites have flexible necks

Rachel suggests that they go for the kandrona instead of the pool b/c its too dangerous to repeat book 1

These kids never question what happens to a host who’s yeerk dies, like if I were running a secret invasion there’s no way I’d let folks live if I couldn’t keep them under control

Rachel is afriad of the yeerk pool, the screams of the slaves haunt her

Also now there’s more family drama

Dan and Naomi, a news anchor and a lawyer

Rachel is trying not to show that she’s upsetti

Rachel is given an out, a choice to go off and live with her dad in another state

I wanted to say, Dad, you don't understand. It isn't just about Mom and Sara and Jordan. I

have a date, Dad. To go back to the Yeerk pool. My friends are counting on me. See, I'm

supposed to be Xena, Warrior Princess. I'm supposed to go back down there . . . down into

the last place on Earth I want to go.

That’s a pretty good way to sum up her role on the team

Rachel goes night flying to flee from her emotions

Rachel has a great horned owl morph

Internalised sexism

Large owls are perfectly capable of hunting and killing hawks

WOw Tobias its almost like deciding to live as a wild animal is a very bad idea and you could be killed at any moment

Rachel is considering a different battle morph: lion or bear. The tv show is canon.

There are bison at the gardens

Rachel aquires a grizzley bear.

Imagine if she whent ahead and got that polar bear too and made a grolar bear morph

Ax needs to fucking control his human morph b4 he gets someone killed or captured

All the animorphs are fuckin weak about bugs

That’s not how insect eyes work, they see one solid picture

These kids going around leaving piles of clothes again

WHAT ARE THE OTHER SPECIES YALL KEEP MENTIONING

Ax explain

Also what is with this male default language?

Taxxons have long sticky whiplike tongues that can catch very small prey

Return of the vore count.

 First appearance of Toomin. I do not like the ellimist

The kids decided to take advanytage of the randomly frozen time to escape

AN Ellimist not THE

Ax is shook

Does Toomin have a whale sanctuary? One for parrots? Crows? Octopuses? And all the other sentient species on Earth? Or is it only sapient sapient life he cares so much for?

Not a fan of Earth is particularly special or unique kinda thinking

Humans wouldn’t go extinct. They’d be domesticated. Their numbers would very much swell. Regardless of what they’re used for there tends to be more captive individuals of a species than wild counterparts.

A few Earth species of special interest. ALiens contin ue to not know shit about how biomes function, even the god aliens. Also I’ll stand with Parting the Clouds!Cassie, Toomin’s human sample size would have a terribly small amount of genetic diversity.

Nice ultimatum Toomin

Jake, Toomin could very well just be fucking with yall and you’d never know

SO they just fucking are human, if dirty, and were certainly spotted by yeerks who give chase b4 they start morphing again

They had to hear Jake, a human voice, yell

No, the common yeerk forces have to know that they’re dealing with morphing humans.

This plus Iniss 226 and Temrash 114’s theories, the yeerks have to know

Rachel very clearly shouts Jake’s name

What. bears know all kinds of fear.

Rachel lost control of the morph and tries to kill Jake

Naomi isnt blind

Rachel skipps school

Jake what is the 5th degree helping?

Rachel fucking snaps and lets it all out

Marco decides to change his vote

Cassie is still on voting yes to Toomin’s plan

Toomin you dickwaffle yer manipulating the results

Again, the yeerks fucking up the enviornment is just plain bad planning and resource management

Like the taxxons would leave any bodies to rot, bullshit

It does not take years for a body to be stripped to bone, honestly why is it that intact?

All these intact bodies are just plain silly, Toomin is trying to hard

That’s actually nice and subtle

...I’m pretty sure that the yeerks can tell a kid like Ax from a grown ass adult like Visser 3’s host

It would have been so easy to tie this bad future into the choose your own adventure animorphs book

Visser 3 and the yeerk controling bad future Rachel hella vored Tobias b/c Visser 3 is not subtle about his kink

Rachel threatens to eat Visser 3. That’s a vore count of 3 so far in this book.

Rachel almost ends Visser 3

Given that this is all a game for Toomin and the Cryack right? Toomin is a horrible cheat

Toomin’s also a cheater in the game he’s playing with the pawns. Asshole.

Toomin is a cheater

Also these kids are a bit dense, granted they have a lot of problems they’re dealing with

Cassie works out that Toomin is trying to show them something

Rachel works out what

...talking to controllers like that does not help the andalite disquise

Also still why do the yeerks in hork-bajir talk that way?

Marco gets disembowled a lot

How does Tobias hit a hork-bajir’s eyes and miss the foot long blades on their heads?

I still call bullshit on morphing being dna based. Templates/scans make more sense. Scans informed by the genetics

3 weeks b4 teh kandrona can be replaced.

Toomin is proud that the pawns figured out his hints

Rachel decides to stay and fight

Animorphs notes 7.5 or Megamorphs 1

Book 7.5/ Megamorphs 1

Why does this format of an animorph book exist? Aren’t we supposed to be under the impression that the kids are writting diaries or someshit like that?

Starts with Jake

Again, not seperating the yeerks from their hosts is a very bad mentality to have

Also aparently Ax doesn’t get to be an animorph

ALso Ax skipps out on a lot of meetings. Granted the kids could show some consideration for Ax and meet in the woods

Rachel is going on a two day gymnastics trip

Tobias is an asshole and continues to over anthropomorphise animals. I havent forgoten him sneaking into Cassie’s family’s barn to eat the patients

...Cassie teh crow can and will go where ever it pleases after it recovers. Heck it might hunt Tobias down and mob him out of spite

Melissa’s going on the trip

Wow Jake, rude. Tobias can have romantic relationships even if his body remains a bird

Marco’s the kinda jerk to crash parties he wasnt invited to

Full moon

Cassie is psychic. WHich honestly I don’t doubt.

Rachel part

Are they… all going to give intros?

Not that Jake is without his own level of stupidity. I mean, he was right there with us,

walking through an isolated, abandoned construction site that night. Wasn't the smartest

thing we ever did.

I’ve not forgotten the flea thing from book 2

Rachel gets books for Tobias

...damnit Rachel you can’t just show up at a camp without letting peolple know ahead of time. They need warning gto make sure they have room and food for you

I was close to Tobias's territory when I spotted something interesting below me. It was a

deer-like animal, running swiftly through the trees. When I focused my laser-intensity eagle

sight, I could see the semihuman torso and face and the deadly scorpion tail.

Aximili

ANd this is why large predatory bird morphs aren’t great. Rachel getting mobbed

A bunch of small birds take down Rachel

Marco part

Honestly Marco sounds like some of the jackass class clowns I had in school, Darlene’s not wrong to not invite him

The kids ARE all going to give the intro talk

Marco that is a very confusing way to talk

Ax is right, this is dishonorable

That poor mouse

Ax has parasites. ANd Marco is extorting? him to help him be a creep b4 he’d give Ax medicine for them. Dick

Technically speaking none of the kids actually knows how the morphing tech works

When I was done acquiring the mouse I handed it to Ax. He had to use both hands to hold

on. Andalite arms and hands are kind of puny. Of course, they also have four legs, and

those are pretty strong. I mean, Ax can haul when he wants to. I'll bet he could do forty

miles an hour.

Baby arms

So the reason Marco wasn’t invited IS b/c he’s a dick

A bunch of jays took out Rachel

Part Jake? What?

That whent jake> rachel>marco>jake? Bullshit

You don’t have to go to a party if you don’t want to people

Why couldn’t this part be narrated by Cassie? She’s fucking here!

Jake is fucking ready, fight or flight

Marco and Ax are very lucky none of the kids or adults at the party try to crush them to death

Huh, Marco and Ax are lucky that none manages to crush them to death

Jake is ready to cuss the shit outta Marco

Accidental human pileup saves Jake’s life

Part… Marco? BULSTIT SHILSHSTSOSHS

AX IS RIGHT THERER LET HIM NARRATE YOU THINDER CUNTS

I hate this human centric bs and it fucking leaves out Cassie

Marco,,, cats are very good at NOT being seen. Ambush predators

Marco is a dick

Then I saw it. It was gigantic! Enormous! A creature that seemed to be made of nothing but

teeth and blades and destruction. It was like twenty Hork-Bajir glued together and given

dragon wings.

heh

Poor Darlene’s family

It looked down at us with a dozen weird eyes that seemed to be stuck here and there at

random. It stared at us the way I'd seen Tobias stare at his prey.

Part, sigh, Rachel

Rachel has amnesia

Ns somehow started morphing while unconcious

If you wonder if yer a freak and are that startled with yer apperance, then no that’s not always how you were

If you need to concentrate to morph, how’d u managed that far with a heavy concussion/unconciousness?

Part Tobias

Damnit they are all giving the intro speech

Huh, so marco and ax coulda gotten killed twice b4 they even got to the party

Also the fuck how is the yeerks covering the wind monster

Part fucking Rachel

...why is this creature wasting so much energy instead of just flowing around the trees

Like people are seeing this shit

Finally! Part Cassie

Cassie spotted cryptid Rachel in the news

Part Rachel. WHy not just have her narrate the whole book at this point?

There’s an excaped yeerk host living in an abandoned clothing shop in the woods

Well, thaty’s not an unreasonable response for an excaped host

Rachel got some memories beaten back intio her

Oh she might be one of the people who’s yeerk starved from the actions of last book

Part fucking Jake again

The kids are gonna track down Rachel by scent

The monster found them

Part rachel

Old lady is gonna burn down the shack, with Rachel inside, b/c she’s not going back to the yeerk pool

Rachel morphs bear without concentrating or intending to or even knowing how

These bootleg books are so bad. Part Marco

They’d be dead if the creature turned back to particle form and just reformed around their bodies

Part Rachel. Really this is mostly just Rachel/Jake/Marco as narrators. No attempt at equaly splitting up the plot

I looked at the new creature. It had come to a stop, just a dozen feet away. I peered at it

with my dim bear vision. It had four legs, like a horse or a deer. But it seemed to have a

head and upper body that was almost human. And there was a tail, I was sure of that. The

tail was cocked back like a weapon ready to be fired.

Andalite

Fifteen fucking chapters in and Ax finally gets to narrate

Ax does the intro speech

Ax says he’s not an animorph

Ax doesnt like having to be the space expert

Ax tucks his tail to his back to run fast

Ax is smart enought to know when standing yer ground is a terrible idea

Ax figured out that morphing attracts the beast.

Morphing has a distinct kind of energy signature

Part jake

Andalites have a distinct scent

Ok lots of animals can harm or kill a large bear. This is turning into a raptors are mahjestick thing

Tobias assumes that Ax tried to fight the creature. Tobias doesn’t really know Ax well enough

Part Cassie

Why are they at the mall?

AGain I wouldn’t be surprised if Cassie is supposed to be psychic

You don’t mean Chapman, you mean Iniss 226

Learning about history is useful in figuring out humans and with invasion plans Cassie

Part Ax

… do andalites even have battle axes? They dont have the arms for it

Once, the Hork-Bajir were a decent, peaceful race. Then they were enslaved by the Yeerks.

Hork-Bajir are incredibly dangerous and very powerful. They stand on two legs, balanced

by a tail. Each leg ends in a foot, like an Earth bird of prey. They have two arms. There are curved blades at their knees, at their elbows, at their wrists. Blades similar to my own tail-

blade. Atop their snakelike heads are two more blades, swept forward. And their tails end in long, sharp spikes.

They are not a species you want to start a fight with. Which may be why they were such a

peaceful, even poetic, species. They had no one to fear. Until the Yeerks began to make

them into Controllers.

The series did so much retconing

Again, I like the Parting the Clouds fic so much better. At least there someone tried to figure out how to use the aura power

Veleek is the dust monster, from Saturn

So the andalite bandits being human was a solid yeerk theory

Visser 3 continues to waste good bodies

Visser 3 throew a lot of bodies into getting a veleek pet

Part Cassie

Compund eyes dont work like that

Iniss 226 knows about spy novels and thinks they’re stupid

Iniss 226 is not a dumb yeerk

Also Visser 3 is the worst boss

Part rachel

Rachel is starting to put things together

Part Marco

The kids ar eputting 2 and 2 together

Part rachel

Rachel made it back to civilization

Rachel breaks into a house for food and rest’

Some snitchy bitch called the police

Rachel the elephant says fuck the police

Part jake

The kids steal Cassie’s dad’s truck

Part rachel

The veleek chases elephant Rachel

The veleek cant pick up an elephant

Part marco

Why do they have marco drive?

Also that poor truck

Jack morphs to lure the creature’s attention

Part jake

Why did jake choose tiger for being chased?

Part rachel

Doesnt quite have her memory back but ready to help

Part ax

Ax feels like a failure of a warrior

Suddenly, one wall of my cage shimmered and became transparent. Ramonite is a metal

that can stretch open or be made clear or opaque by molecular realignment.

Nice’

Ax is also racist towards taxxons

Visser 3 is a terrible boss

Part marco

That poor truck

Why choose gorrila for a chase?>

Part rachel

Cassie tries to fill the gaps fotr rachel

Part marco

Part cassie

Cassie chooses squirlle

Bug fighters are stooting at em

Part ax

So bug fighters and shit DO have cameras

Flea ex machina

Ax morphs one of his fleas

… theres no way in hell thast theres no bugs on the andalite homeworld

Thats not what a flea mouth is like

Ax says that andalites have a shit vertical jump

Part marco

The veleek caught him

Ax is on Visser 3

Ax is having a blast fucking up Visser 3’s day

Part ax

And only then, locked together with it, was I able to see it through my weak flea eyes. It

was alive! It was a creature my own size, but with a hundred minuscule wings that beat the

air. It had antennae, but different than any seen on Earth. These antennae were covered in

tiny, upturned bowls. Like the dishes of primitive human radio telescopes. Those were the

structures it used to sense energy sources.

There were no eyes. And no mouth. But two long filaments, like strands of wire, swept

back from the front of the creature. These must be how it fed: by channeling the energy

down the wires.

The Veleek was not one creature. It was billions! It was a swarm of billions of these tiny

creatures. They had evolved into a swarm that could come together and become a

destructive entity of gnashing teeth and slicing blades. But in reality they were separate

insectlike creatures that fed on energy.

Its a swarm of navivorous bugs

Water is the veleek’s weakness

Marco and Ax jump out of the ship

Part rachel

Her memory is mostly back

Hork-bajir have foot long blades on their head, that’s impoalement’

Part marco

Fear speads up thei morphing

Part jake

Jake is grounded

The team apparently whent home without knowing if marco and ax were alive

Part cassie

Cassie is psychic and can probably see the future

Cassie comes up with a plan that only she can do

To make up for almost getting marco killed

Part tobias

So did Cassie not have a whale morph already? DIdn’t marco get one when they’d met the psychic whales?

Or am I thinking of a fanfic?

Part cassie

Cassie is awesome

Cetaceans are just canon psychic

Part tobias

Cassie is a total badass

Part cassie

Rapid fire morphing

Falling whale body slam

Part rachel

So apparently the veleek never evaporates out of the ocean at any point later?

Cassie speaks whale . Cassie is the one chosen by the whales. All hail the whale messiah
