First of all, this is an idea I had a long time ago. I hope this doesn't offend anyone. It's not meant to…this is my first serious fan fiction…

No flames, pleaz! =) Rated PG…I dunno why, it just seems like this wouldn't be a G rating…oh well! Usual disclaimers apply. Enjoy!

Second Chances



Chapter 1: CASSIE:

They rammed the Blade Ship. It was all over the news. I listened to the TV.

"We have just been informed, ladies and gentlemen, of a very tragic situation. The Animorphs, who have given so much for the Earth, have given one more thing: Their lives. They have rammed the Blade Ship of the remaining Yeerks that do not want peace. Marco, Tobias, and Jeanne, a new recruit, are conformed dead. The bodies of Jake and…"

I turned off the TV. Jake was dead. They were all dead. Life was hopeless. I snapped myself out of it. The animals needed to be taken care of. But I could still feel the tears in my eyes.



I can take it all back a voice whispered, somewhere. I couldn't hear the voice. Suddenly, time stood still.

I sighed. It was funny, in a way. Anyone else would have probably screamed and would be pee-in-their-pants scared. I was used to it by now.

"Ellimist?"

He laughed, or what sounded like a laugh. You can never really tell with aliens these days.

Cassie, you know me too well.

"What's that you said? You can take it all back? What?"

Their deaths, Cassie. All of their deaths

"You can bring them back to life? How?"

I was excited now. I wanted nothing more than to see Rachel and Marco and Tobias and Ax and…Jake.

Yes. With a catch.

I sighed.

"What catch?"

I cannot simply raise them from the dead, Cassie of the Animorphs. Their deaths must be prevented. The Yeerks killed them. So the Yeerks need to be stopped before their invasion.

"How would we do that?" I asked, surprised.

I would send you to the place where the Yeerks first spread. You would be accompanied by the others. You will be presented with the opportunity to destroy the Yeerks.

"Is it really that simple?"

Nothing is as it seems, Cassie. You are right. It is not that simple. Crayak wanted to put a challenge before you. That was the agreement between us. If you lived through your challenge, you would get the chance to stop the Yeerks, before they ever start and save your friends. If you die…you die. End of story. No chance to save your friends. You would be dead. What do you say?

Save my friends? For that, I would do anything.

"Shoot, ok. I'll do it."

And suddenly, I wasn't in my room anymore.
