"And what's that, Cassie?" Jake asked, leaning forward to me, "or should I ask instead, who's this?" He's so close the fly in me panicked and I suddenly flew.

"Tobias! Get him!" Jake yelled.

Tobias was so surprised his burger flew into Erek's face, who calmly wiped it away. Tobias scrambled over the other haystacks morphing, or, demorphing back to his now original form, the red-tailed hawk. I speed-morphed into a squirrel and bounded towards the forest.

Wrong choice.

The chase led further into the forest. They disappeared momentarily, probably to morph into something else. I continued to run.

Soon a squadron of five birds soared in the sky. And on their tails, one by one, Park Ranger Controllers followed, probably VisserThree's patrols, who spotted them and followed, with weapons or not, in ATV's and motorbikes.

<There he is!> Cassie shouted to others in thought-speak, me included.<Oh, man, I hope it's not you, Caleb.>

<Unfortunately, it's me.> I said.

<I'm so sorry.>

<It's okay.>

<Then try to run! Run away from them!> Cassie said. <I'll try to distract them!>

<Nah. It's hopeless. Plus, I think it's time to face my problems, rather than running away from them.> I said as I speed-morphed into a wolf.

<What?> Cassie asked.<What do you mean by->

TSEEER!

I turned around and saw four birds-of-prey dove after me!

<AHHH!> I screamed in pain as they left deep wounds on my face.

"There! There! There they are!" A Controller shouted.

"Call Visser Three! Tell him it's the Andalite bandits!"

<You're busted,> I sneered as I slapped Tobias away from my face. They flew away into the trees and remorphed there, away from the Controllers' sights.

Rachel came out first as a grizzly bear.

Jake emerged as a tiger.

Tobias as a Hork-Bajir.

Marco as a gorilla.

Wait. . . Where's Cassie?

<Cassie! NO!> Jake roared. Cassie dropped unconscious into the makeshift net of the Human-Controllers.

"Quick! We need to get back to the Visser's!" They started their ATV's and drove away.

Jake and I tried to chase them but we're quickly left in the dust.

<Cassie. . .> He muttered. He turned to me and roared, <It's your fault!>
