Ein UFO/ A UFO
Jake: "If my father ever finds out, that I took the short cut across the construction site, he's gonna ground me until I'm twenty.“ Rachel: "It's really scary here.“ Tobias: "What kind of ghost town is this, Jake?“ Jake: "Once a new mall should have been build here. It didn't work out and the ruinous shells were left behind.“ Rachel: "Did you hear that?“ Jake: "I think it was a rusty building crane squeaking in the wind.“ Cassie: "Hey, where has Tobias gone?“ Rachel: "I don't know. He was just right behind us.“ Jake: "Tobias! Where are you?“ Tobias: "Over here, Jake! Look at this!“ Jake: What? Where?“ Tobias: "Not there, Jake. In the sky.“ Jake: "What kind of blue-white light is rushing across the sky? Certainly a plane.“ Tobias: "No, it's faster than a plane.“ Jake: "It's slowing down.“ Marco: "What's that, Tobias?“ Tobias:"I don't know.“ Cassie: "That- that's a Flying Saucer!“ Jake: "Nonsense, Cassie. You have probably seen too many X-files shows.“ Rachel: "It's coming down here.“ Jake: "Whatever it is – it's slowing down.“ Tobias: "It isn't much larger than our school bus. The forefront looks like a round casing.“ Jake: "It's glowing at its sides.“ Rachel: "Those seem to be wings.“ Cassie: "And the back part looks like a tail.“ Jake: "It could be a weapon.“ Cassie: "It's stopping.“ To be honest we all were a little bit afraid of that thing. Well, a little is an understatement.I had my legs turn to jelly in such a way, that I couldn't move. On the other hand this was the coolest thing you can imagine. I mean there was a space ship right over my head! Jake: "The ship is landing between the scarp heaps.“ Cassie: "There! A door is opening.“ Marco: "A real alien is coming out of the ufo.“ Jake: "With the antennea on top of the head and the blue fur he looks like a human cloned with a deer.“ Elfangor: <Hello.> Cassie: "Did you hear that too?“ Rachel: "The alien talks.“ Jake: "I didn't hear anything. The alien's voice is somehow in our heads.“ Rachel: "That's telepathy.“ Elfangor: <I am Prince Elfangor-Sirinal-Shamtul.> Tobias: "A Prince!“ Elfangor: <I - aah!> Rachel: "Look! The alien is wavering. He is falling.“ Cassie: "He is hurt. He has a wound on the right side!“ Jake: "We have to call an ambulance!“ Elfangor: <No! My life is not important.> Jake: "You can't die! You're the first alien who has ever visited earth.“ Elfangor: <I'm not the first one. There are many others.> Tobias: "Other aliens? Like you?“ Elfangor: <Not like me. I'm an Andalite. Our enemies are the Yeerks. They have come to destroy you.> Cassie: "Are you saying, they're already on earth?“ Elfangor: <Many are here. The Yeerks don't have a body like you or me. That's why nobody notices them. They live in the bodies of other races. They look like this> Rachel: "ahhh! In my head I see such a grey-green slimy thing!“ Marco: "Me, too. Looks like a slimy slug.“ Cassie: "He's projecting the image in our heads.“ Jake: "I suppose that's a Yeerk.“ Elfangor: <The Yeerks are parasites. They need a host as living space. In this form we call them Controllers. They enter the brain where they take over the host's thoughts and feelings.> Cassie: "Is this supposed to mean that these critters take over and control humans?“ Elfangor: <Exactly. I hoped I could stop them, but the Yeerks beat me and my companoins in arms. Soon they'll find me here. Then there is no more hope for earth. You have to warn your people.“ Jake: "Nobody is gonna believe this story!“ Elfangor: <Maybe there is still a chance. In my spaceship is a blue box. Bring it to me! Hurry!> Jake: "Are you coming, Marco?“ Marco: "I'm on my way.“ |
