The Animorph Plex - Fan Fiction - The Pemalite Chronicles

A forgotten race of playfulness and intelligence…, all destroyed.

PART 1 YOSWAK'S DECISION

My name is Yoswak. It means " a hero." I am a fourteen year old male. I am a pemalite. I have golden fur and big floppy ears. I was with my best friend Sangor and my chee Erek. Yesterday had been my birthday and I had got a chee! A chee is an android. Sangor had got one when he was born. His was ancient! The first chee actually: Chee-Lonos. She had taught us many things. Our school was watching a presentation. An Ellimist was giving us a gift. In case you don't know what an Ellimist is, I'll tell you. They are a light green color, with a shade of purple. The have long legs that end in a hoof. They have weak arms but strong hands. They have three eyes, and a mouth. Well, they used to. They had evolved into another dimension! Since they didn't need the time-matrix anymore since they had a location of space-time, they were giving it to us. There is one Ellimist assigned to each galaxy. We liked our one, he saw the universe as a place full of sentient creatures, each with it's own art. We watched through the hologram, as the time-matrix was presented to the grand assembly. The ellimist was in a form af an andalite.

< You are a good people, a role model to the universe, use the time-matrix for history, not future. And make sure you are directing it to one place. And I understand a certain chee has told a joke… Erek. There will be a celebration over the time-matrix and the joke. Now I have one; what do you get when one pemalite hits another in force… violence! >
" Cuck, chuck chuck." We all laughed at the thought of violence.
" Yoswak, yesterday I killed somebody!"
" Chuck chuck chuck." I laughed. " I'll race you to the dancing hall."
" I'll beat you, you know it."
" I've kept track of of the the win loss ratio, Sangor wins seventy-three percent of the time." Erek said.
" Hordi dung. " I said.
" Yoswak, your right," Sangor said. " I beat you one hundred percent of the time."
" Well I'm at the dance hall and your five feet behind." I panted.
" What moves are you guys going to do?" Chee-Lonos asked.
" I'm chasing my tail."
" Me too." Sangor said. We danced till I saw a human walk up! This was no stupid human, this was an Ellimist!
" I would like to talk to Erek and Yoswak alone?"
" We are over here, Ellimist." Erek said.
" My name is Aloe3333xerew987231753zasadafiho, but call me Aloe."
" Okay, um… Aloe." And then we were in a torquoise, airless, place. The dimension of space-time!
 I watched as I saw pemalites heads, being blown apart by the cry of the Howlers. I saw the laser beam that shredded every adom one by one while one second you would fell intense cold, then heat.

" I… but… how do you kill? I saw a image of me, shooting a howler.
< One Howler, one kill.> And with that I was dancing again. I could somehow save Pemalites from extinction. Don't worry Yoswak, wait till you see a howler, then mabye kill it.
" I can't help you Yoswak, I'm programed not to harm another speices."
" Don't worry, let's wait till we see a howler. I wonder why we have to kill him?"" I would like to talk to Erek and Yoswak alone?"
" We are over here, Ellimist." Erek said.
" My name is Aloe3333xerew987231753zasadafiho, but call me Aloe."
" Okay, um… Aloe." And then we were in a torquoise, airless, place. The dimension of space-time!
 I watched as I saw pemalites heads, being blown apart by the cry of the Howlers. I saw the laser beam that shredded every adom one by one while one second you would fell intense cold, then heat.

" I… but… how do you kill? I saw a image of me, shooting a howler.
< One Howler, one kill.> And with that I was dancing again. I could somehow save Pemalites from extinction. Don't worry Yoswak, wait till you see a howler, then mabye kill it.
< I can't just save you, you have to destroy one howler. You see, if you destroy one howler, you destroy them all. They have a life span of three years. All of them have lived up to three years. The killing is all a game to them, they think by killing you your playing too. But if they die, they see that killing is not a game. And then Crayak will be forced to eliminate them.>
"Makes perfect sense." Said Erek.
" Yes, Erek, it does." I agreed. If I really had a perfect chance to kill a howler, would I do it? I don't think I would want to find out that answer.
I was in school. We were learning how to play a game called fetch. Of course we already new how to play fetch. But, that is the kind of things gamemasters teach you in fun period.
" Now, class. One pemalite throws the ball, then the other pemalte fetches it. Then you wrestle till the pemalite who threw the ball has the ball back."
Duh, I thought. We were practicly born knowing how to play fetch. Then school ended. The only period we had in school now was fun period, since were in a celebration, of course. I looked over my head, I saw a kafit bird. One day, me and some friends had gone to the Andalite home-world to aquire a kafit bird. Then a group of andalites asked who we were. We said we were Ellimists and that we were all powerfu; and we play games with minds. The Andalites, they are such fools. Anyway, that was my mom in the sky. Long ago, we had the two hour morph limit. Now there is no limit. I was about to morph the kafit bird. First, my fir became lime green. Then feather patterns began to appear, then became three dimensional. Then, I shrunk to about one and a half feet. Then, my muzzle hardened and became a red beak. Next, my hind paws became taloned feet. Lastly, two extra pairs of wings grew from me. I was a kafit bird. I let out a cry that gave the bird it's name; KKAAAAAFIIIIIITTT! Then I flapped my six wings and began to fly. Kafit birds are faster just flying and in a dive than the birds of prey of Earth are. Plus, I could see and hear better than them. I skimmed the ground. I saw Sangor, flirting with an attractive golden colored pemalite female like that resembled my golden fur. That Sangor, he has a goal to have a life partner or wife in primitive terms, by age twenty.
" So, Zedakew. Is it true that all the girls like me.?" Sangor asked.
" Um…. no." I went in a stoop and picked up a small land animal. The bird's instincts had gotton the best of me. I quickly dropped it. I scanned the ground for any familiar faces. I saw Erek, Chee-Lonos, Chee-Gjore, and my father and my mother. I get my color from my mom who is golden, but, I get my strong body from my dad who is mostly gray and white. I fluttered to the ground and gratefully resumed my pemalite shape.
" Hey, Yoswak." My father shouted. " Come here, I need a partner fpr discee."
" Okay, Dad." Discee is were one pemalite throws a disk, and the other one catches it. The pair that that throws it the farthest, catches it, and brings it back the fastest gets ten points. The pair that comes in second gets five points. And the pair in third gets one point. You play to fiftty points. My dad threw the disk! I raced after it. I noticed the only person ahead of me was Sangor. He was ahead when his disk fell! He dropped it, missing the catch! Then he sped back to his dad. I kept going… then it fell! I caught it! I sped back to my dad. I passed Sangor! I was going to win! I closed my eyes and wondered how I couldn't kill a howler and give this up. Big mistake. I didn't see the tree ahead of me and slammed right into it! Then consciousness started to fade away…
I walked around. The beautiful grass of my continent was now a crisp, laser beam torn wreck! The trees were just ragged stumps. There wasn't a shelter in sight. I saw Sangor walk up to me.
"Sangor thank goodness your hear. What happ-"
" Die! Die, you filthy beast!" Sangor ran up to me and bit me! I flung him off me. Then I bit him in the neck and he died, cursing under his breath! Some thing was definitely wrong. I saw Erek. Chee could not hurt, so I walked over to him.
" Erek, whats happening?"
" Die!" Erek threw me a mile! Then I called Erek something that pemalites should never say. I saw Chee-Gjore. He was behaving just as shockingly as anyone else. He shouted,
" I hate chee! If only I was out of this stupid robot body. I wish I was a howler!" Then he started to rip chee up and somehow eat them! Then a group of howlers suddenly surrounded me! I started to morph. I was doing my second favorite morph- an andalite. I heard the dreaded howl:
" KEEEEEERRAAAAAAAAAWW!" Now I had the mind of an andalite. So it was like a sun going nova! If I had been in my pemalite body the howl would of made my brain burst! Then I was fighting the howlers! I killed one. That would save me and pemalites! Then another and another! I ate one alive! Then I was on a ship. I fired- destroying the planet! Then I was a giant black hole! As big as a million galaxys! I sucked in all the galaxy's and then there was nothing. No galaxys, air, or matter…

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
" Yoswak are you all right?" I turned to find the shape of my father. I realized I had been unconscious. It had all been a dream. That was a relief.
" Um… yes. I think. What hapened?"
" You ran into a tree, knocked you out."
" Yes." That dream was a message. If I killed, everyone would start to. I mean, I'm a pretty popular guy. Then the chee would be programmed to. Then when the howlers came it would be a even fight! But together, with two races and a artificial race going at it, with the superior intelligence of the three races. It could destroy everything. I mean, there is only ninety sentient speices in this galaxy. There are millions that will achive sentience. But somehow there is a tenth of the galaxy missing, which had the other thousand sentient races besides the nintey. That would be a lot of destruction! I got to my feet and morphed the kafit bird. I flapped up and away. I alone of all pemalites, held our future in my paws. In a month, we were going to become and extinct race. Unless I kill a howler. Or we escape, but that would take careful timing, we would have to go when howlers were about to pop out of zero-space. I realized I was a mile off the ground. I started to scan the ground. Sangor was winning a round of discee with his younger sister who is strong for her age. At this moment my vision was excellent. I saw the shoreline of the continent. The blue water was beautiful. I knew some race had wiped out the Faszex on Leera. It was probaly the howlers. The leereans were not even sentient yet. All I knew was that I was scarred, in one month- eighteen days, two-hundred seventy hours from now, my planet was going to die.

The celebration had gone on for two weeks. Sangor had won seventy-six percent of our races. I had morphed to andalite several times, to practice killing. But I couldn't. It was to hard. Then it hit me, go back a million years in time- when pemalites were always in war. Yes! The DNA should allow me to kill easily! I raced north, I was going to the stadium where the time-matrix was. I saw Sangor walk up to me.
" Don't shut your eyes, Yoswak, you don't want to get knocked out." Mocked Sangor.
" Yep, just don't try anymore times to impress Zedakew anymore. You know she likes me." And with that I was racing off. I passed trees and shelters and even other celebrations! At last, I saw the huge shape of a shelter- the place where the time-matrix was. I waited until I was in the carrier field and then I was floating into the Grand Assembly shelter. They were having a celebration in their own village so the shelter was empty. And then I saw it. The time-matrix! I focused my thoughts on this place, a million years ago. Suddenly I saw me, inside and out! While seeing my stomach I saw my heart! I saw the wall and the colorful outside of it! Then it all stopped, I was here, but there was no shelter, I saw primitive ramonite houses, not clear force field protective shelters with colors you could barley see but were there. I knew what this was. It was the great Pemalite War. After this war we would have great pemalites become peacefulism masters. Then, eventualy, all pemalites would be peacefulism masters. This was going to be the last battle, our instinks at this point in time were harsh. I saw who I was looking for, Captain Havzeji, a minute later I was a kafit bird dragging Havzji away for he had killed hunderds of peacefulism masters for his need of war. I knocked him out and demorphed. A minute later I had aquired him. Then I morphed him. My strong body became even stronger than it was. And black fur swept accross me. That was the morph, belive it or not. I sniffed the air. I found a pemalite scent. Did he agree with my ideas? I sniffed. NO! I raced over to him and bit his neck! He fired a primitive shredder! It missed me! I clawed him up! The next thing I knew, this poor pemalite was laying dead. I had done it! I HAD KILLED! But I had to kill a howler, not a pemalite. Then I heard a bark… a battle cry! The battle raced! I bit, killed! Clawed, killed! Then I ran and ran and ran untill I was where the time-matrix was. I reversed the time pattern to the modern age. I was glad to see there was no battle raging. I decided to keep a mental-material link to the time- matrix so when I needed it I could have it when I neeeded it, it was a mighty tool and I was going to need it. Because there was no way I was going to morph Havzeji again, even though the the time-matrix allowed me to keep his DNA. Or the howlers would come to an empty planet.

PART 2 THE INVASION

Time was up. Today I planned on dying. I knew I would not have to wait long. I heard the dreaded howl.
" KEEEERRRAAAAAAWW!" I saw an old pemalites head burst. Time was up.Then I saw a small Howler, he carried a gun which fires an energy beam that causes extreme pain that tortures you for about five minutes, then kills you. He fired I dodged! Miss! Then I ran, but while I ran I morphed, I was going into andalite morph so the howls would hurt, but not kill. I also needed the speed and agility of an andalite- plus I might use that blade. My golden fur became blue. My ears stuck up. My muzzle became flat and three slits appeared. My mouth dissapeared all together. My dropped to all fours but still had a chest. Mt front arms became weak with a seven fingered hand. My hind legs had hooves. I felt the stalks grow from my head and then popped out the eyes. Lastly, I felt my paws become hooves. I heard the dreaded howl.
" KEEEEEERRAAAAWWWWW!" I felt like I was going to die! I think I fainted, but only briefly. I noticed the tips of my ears were bleeding. I ran away, going at the incredible speed of an andalite. I had to dodge all the dead bodys. Then I stopped, I saw my friend Sangor, running from a Howler. In an instsint, my tail blade was at his throat! When an andalite is feeling like it needs a form of a threat, it was the first thing that came to it's mind.
< Run Sangor, run! > I screamed as I saw my best friend run away. I would have to join him later if he lived.
< If I knew how to kill I would remove your head from your body!> I yelled. Why did I not kill him right there? Why did I just waist my chance to save my race? Because I'm a pemalite. We can't kill, even if we tried. Because we are total cowards. We may be the smartest race to ever exist, but we were fools. We thought violence was just some big joke! But unfortunately the galaxy was not as good as us. I had to assemble an escape party. I found Sangor, Chee-Lonos, Chee-Gjore, Erek, Zedakew, and some pemalites I did not know with their chee.
" I know when to leave and where." Erek said. " Now, and at the Spaceport of Laughter."
" Let's go !" So we ran and ran. And guess what? Ran some more.
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I saw my mom, she had been hit my a laser beam!
" Yoswak… Don't give… I love you." And then I saw, my mother, the one who bore me, incinerate and die.
We ran some more. And we ran until we saw the spaceport. It was huge. We silenly climbed inside the space-craft. I thought about the ship powering up, and the ship powered up. We were now seeing the planet now, through the micro-camra. We saw every ship, and all the death. Our sensors told us that there was only forty percent of the planet's population left. We had to go in z-space. Then we would go to a planet which my grandmother had told me stories about her field-trip there when she was a pup. Earth. The hairy apes were now a sentient race, not smart like Pemalites, nor evil like Howlers, or freaky like the Arn. Then I saw the the ripple. It was a ripple in space. I saw those howler ships and knew they would kill us.
" We are going into z-space!
" Good!" But then I saw the howlers fire a beam. This was no energy beam, it was a germ weapon! They had released the same germ weapon in a village called Goyfi-Tor. It killed in ten minutes. One second you would feel like you were going to burn, then freeze. Then you would die adom by adom by adom. It is like a very advanced quantum virus. It was ordered to destroy all pemalites. And I knew that it would cause my death, and the rest of my races death.

We were in zero-space. We had tried many times to put the germs out of our system. We even got desperate enough to try a primitive khemo therapy! It did not work and it left an old pemalite with out fur. Then I saw the pemalite, the bald one. He howled in pain.
" AHHHHHHHHHHH! The germs! I'm going to freeze, no burn!" He was like that for ten minutes. Then he slowly disappeared from life. I knew I was desined the same fate. I knew that in a hour, I would not be able to tell this story.

When we had left the home-world, we had had twelve pemalites and many chee, now there was just two pemalites, me and Sangor. Then I heard him scream!
" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Then he was silent. Sangor had always been brave.
" No, no!" I whispered. " We will see Earth together! We will play and play and-"
" No! You will, I will die." Then my best friend, champion athlete, Sangor died. At that same instant I reconized that Erek had brought the time-matrix on the ship!
" Erek, when did you get that."
" Half an hour ago, you thought about all you great expeiences, and you remembered how bad the time-matrix was in the war. Your thought brang it back, so I brang it here."
" Erek, I will die. Blend in with the humans. Bury it deeply under the first human structer you build." Then…
" AHHHHHH!"
" No Yoswak!"
" We are in the atmosphere of Earth!"
"AHHHHHH!"
"No Yoswak! You are the last pemalite, you can't die!"
" We have landed!" I was going to die. At least it was on the planet I had dreamed of visiting. I love my race but we were fools. It is impossible to have eliminated violence from your system. If you are non violent, then someone violent will kill you. I will end my story here. Never stop fighting, but don't become all violent. If I was more agressive, I would not be dead. Then I saw a flash! I saw Erek, an andalite, four humans, a part human and part hawk special time-lines all meet. But what I did also see is what I dreaded- seven howlers meet with them too. But I saw that they would do what I had tried to do, but with love. I heard one of the humans quotes in my head. I don't knpw why I heard it. Maybe it was as if I should have asked for help. But I knew it was important for them or me. Together we fight…

EPILOGUE

My name is Erek. I am a chee, an android. Long ago, my master Yoswak and I could of saved our race from the Howlers, we failed. Now it was payback! We had to save a race called the Iskoot from the howlers. I had been helping the animorphs destroy evil parasites called Yeerks. Since Erek is a human name, that is my human name. We had been pretty easily defeating war-maker Iskoot. Then I saw him!
" Howler!" I yelled.
" Yeah, right." Marco said. I was looking at a creature that had helped destroy my creator!
"Erek, are you joking?" Jake asked. My hologram was white. I couldn't help it. It was a howler! O knew that I must help destroy all of their evil.
"I am not Jake, that is a howler"...
