LEADER OF THE PACK

I like a man who brings me weapons. You want me to take out ____, and I know how to do it. So how do we find them? They’re not in the Yellow Pages. Revenge, as they say, is a sucker’s game. When’s the last time you ripped an iron gate off its hinges? I’ll settle for tearing this jerk IN HALF! When I get through with you they’re gonna call you “ROAD KILL!” That’s no way to treat a lady! Go on then. We’re none of us getting any younger. Thanks for saving my bacon before it got fried.

METAMORPHOSIS

Look, just promise you’ll call if there’s trouble. Cross your heart. Go ahead, try something! I’d love to do that again! Fool! That wasn’t a tranquilizer dart. It was loaded with a mutagenic formula!  You don’t know anything about her! Rushing off without a plan won’t help her. Why are you stomping on my friend here? Look, I want to help you. Now it’s war, ____! You’re going down for this. I promise you! No matter what it takes! I was particularly proud of my death scene. Frankly, _____, I thought you overplayed the part.

LEGION

I just hope you handle that vacuum cleaner better than you handle a squad car. The important thing is, you’re alive. Are you sure this is a good idea? He hasn’t always been your friend. To invite him to our home, our clan… You would betray my trust, brother? Somehow he’s being tortured … from within. This isn’t a good idea. I’m best qualified to go. My memories are clouded. Why should I trust you? If you can’t trust me, then trust your heart. Why do you fight me, my love? We are destined to be together for all eternity. I will choose who I love! We’re right on top of it. Now we’ll see what this creature looks like up close.

A LIGHTHOUSE IN THE SEA OF TIME Well I can’t read and I don’t think I’m missing anything. Uh-huh. ‘Ignorance is bliss’. Right, _____? When your life’s this exciting, who needs books? This beach isn’t safe after dark.  Do you need a doctor? Come on in. I’ve got a fire going. There’s little I can offer in return, except my thanks. You understand, I don’t get any real pleasure from this. Well you’ve got courage, beastie. I’ll give you that. What you don’t have … is a prayer. Funny, something about your voice made me think you were a soldier, once. But it’s not shameful to be illiterate, _____. It’s only shameful to stay that way. I’m old, but I’m not that old. Obviously, I read about it. The name sounded phony.  The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time.

THE MIRROR

Is this how you welcome all your guests? Yeah, I know, you’re as relieved I am that everything’s back to normal. That’s not what I was going to say– Wouldn’t it be great to be a shapeshifter? Be careful what you wish for, lad. Well, let’s just get this over with, shall we? How can I be of service, hmm? Out with it. I haven’t got all night. What is it you really want? How quaint. After all these centuries, you’re still carrying a torch. Piece of cake, given your charming personality. This just might be fun after all. My strength has never depended on brute force, _____, but on true friends. Shapeshifters, elves, fairies … you mean they’re real? You mean, you thought I was ugly? Does this look like Aladdin’s lamp? I have limits, after all. I’ll never get the hang of jumping off rooftops. I’ll always be there to catch you. You’re free.

THE SILVER FALCON

You made one mistake, _____. You messed with my partner! When someone messes with your partner. You’re supposed to do something about it. Case closed!

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

So. Now you know my weakness. Only you would regard love as a weakness. You’ve never looked more heroic. A momentary lapse, I assure you. Come on. I’ve wanted to stroll down a city street with you for a long time. We’re genetically compatible, highly intelligent, and have the same goals. You could’ve been hurt. I should’ve been with you. Everyone’s vulnerable, _____. But it helps knowing someone cares. Oh-well, spilt milk. Let’s move on to plan B. Sorry, business. You understand. Don’t listen to him. It’s a trick! Can’t you see this is his plan D? If it fails, he’ll move on to E or F. A noble effort, _____. But another failure. Not a good night for you. You can’t believe anything he says. If _____ speaks the truth, if someone like him can love, perhaps there is some hope for this world. I trust you as far as I can throw you. I don’t have time to argue.

VOWS Take this as token of my love. Cherish it always, as I cherish my half. Upon this I pledge my heart to you forever. Why do you need all this?. I wanted it, so I took it. It’s so unlike you to attack first. I simply invited you here to talk. Our past encounters have not inspired me to trust you. I’m only attending this farce because _____ insisted. And I need to keep him as an ally. I neither know nor care why you’re here. I’m not interested in reminiscing! I’m not a creature of sorcery. I’m a visitor from the future. And I suppose you glided back in time on the wind. Believe me, I know exactly how you feel. But you cannot trust him. He’s weak. The greatest favor you can do him, would be to put him out of our misery, forever! You must know I’m right. Can’t you see I’m right? I am what you will become! I will never be like you! I do not wish to hurt you. And I do not wish to be you! Do not worry. Do not wait, or look for this catastrophe. Live in the moment. Attend the petty angers and jealousies that fill your heart. Fortify yourself with love and trust. And you need not fear this future. But most of all fulfill the vows of love you make, for they can surely save you. You have my oath. If I didn’t fear the damage you would do to the time stream, I’d gladly leave you here. But you won’t. Because you didn’t. Time travel’s funny that way. Get away from me, you sentimental fool. You may have prevented me from altering the past, but you failed too. You see, I have clear memories of your little inspirational about keeping my vows of love. I never forgot it. Obviously history is immutable.

CITY OF STONE

Relax folks, you’re safe. Don’t gush all over us, it’s embarrassing. _____, what’s going on? You know more than you’re letting on. Look closely, creature. T'was your handiwork. Done when I was but a boy. Remember? There will always be a hunter, my son. And there will always be the hunted… Take care not to become what you fight against. Vengeance begets only a further cycle of more vengeance. You fool! I should make you pay for all the lives she destroyed. Do you want vengeance or a solution? This is bigger than either of us has ever faced. We’ll have to work together to stop her. Truce? Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. You speak treason, you old crone! You fight like a demon. You brought this on yourself, _____, I was loyal. You are are the cause of all this. You-you monster! I would rather they fear me. That’s one way to settle an argument. You’re too late. You can’t save them. No one can! I’m not here for them. I’m here for you. I want it over between us! I wear this as a reminder of your treachery. Let’s not start that again. You blame me, I blame you. Aren’t you tired of talking about it? I’m not here to talk. After this long a lifetime, I have no fear of that, and no desire to live in the kind of world you’re creating. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold, _____. And I have waited nine hundred years for this meal. No! Killing her won’t solve anything! Death never does. Death is never the answer. Life is. I’m just so tired… I will have vengeance for the betrayal of my clan, vengeance for my pain. Your thirst for vengeance has only created more sorrow. _____, your father was an evil man who deserved his fate. But you were just a boy then, so I offer you one last opportunity for forgiveness and mercy. First desertion, and now betrayal! WHY? I merely offer a sample of what you planned for me. I planned for you to govern by my side. And now because of you, my kingdom is in flames! When one dies, both die. But when one lives, both live. And thus you both shall live. Eternally linked. Sharing each other’s pain and anguish with no release until one destroys the other. Only then shall both finally perish. Together. You have learned nothing. I will still have my revenge! We have written their stories. They are our responsibility.  You know all this time, I’ve wondered why I let you creatures live. Now I know. You come in handy now and then. You’ll forgive me if I just shake your hand.

HIGH NOON

I’m no hero, I just do my job, and my job for tonight is over. All I want to do is hit the sack. Even shadows must be true to their shade. Maybe misery loves company. There are forces at war within me.

OUTFOXED

Crush all of them together and you couldn’t squeeze one iota of personal integrity from the lot! Learn to take responsibility for your own actions! And stop whining! Oh, I am trembling in my chair. You believe I am not responsible. Yet I remain your prisoner? It doesn’t matter that you were tricked, you know now that your actions inflicted grievous damage. Do you take responsibility for them or not? Well, what are you going to do? You seem distracted, having second thoughts? We’ll celebrate over breakfast. What would be the honorable thing to do? I suppose I should just turn you over to the proper authorities. I’ll spend the rest of my life as a laboratory specimen. Was my crime against you so heinous to make that an equitable punishment? We’re making progress. You finally acknowledged you committed a crime. No more excuses. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I was wrong. Integrity is never easy. It’s a daily struggle, a costly struggle. I know I owe you a great debt for the mistake I made a year ago. You’ve given me much to consider. But one thing I’m certain of: your debt to me is paid in full, a ____ for a ____, we are even. I’d probably give it to you, if you’d just stand up and ask me for it honestly! Oh, _____, you and your integrity. Asking for it wouldn’t be any fun at all. And ‘fun’ is still more important to you than honor. I can’t understand that.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY

Surely you know I am not in the habit of playing childish pranks or laughing maniacally in the dark. Do ye even know how to laugh maniacally? I think I’ve created a monster.

UPGRADE

What kind of scrapheap did you crawl out of? I’m sure tired of taking punishment, and I’d love to be able to give some back. What’s the catch? And, so the game begins. What’s the matter, never seen a cybernetic jackal before? We have defeated them before. Now that I’m in charge, I’m not taking any more of your cracks! Hit the road, Sparky. I’m in charge, here! You’re not siding with this glorified toaster oven!? I find him very attractive … Well, that’s sicker than usual. What a choice: A robot who thinks he’s human, or a human who’s gone to the dogs. So what’s our next move, Boss? What’s your problem? Never a silver bullet around when you need one.

PROTECTION

Hmm … I love jalepeños. THE CAGE

Yeah, I should get my own cable TV show. Oh, me and my big mouth. I don’t know if this will work. I’m not used to working in such primitive conditions. It is the cure! It has to be! Of course it’s the cure! You must trust me! You always overplay your hand, _____. I trusted you! You turned me into a monster and I defended you–! I’m sorry it had to turn out this way. We all would’ve been more comfortable if you’d remained in the dark, but I can’t let you damage _____. He’s a bit of a bother, but his mind contains infinite possibilities. He’s the scientist - you’re just the experiment.

THE PRICE

Tell me something: Why me? I thought you might even appreciate the opportunity. Growing old terrifies you, doesn’t it? Nothing terrifies me — because nothing is beyond my ability to change. A friendly word of advice: true immortality isn’t about living forever … it’s about what you do with the time you have. When all your scheming’s done, what will be your legacy, _____? You’re still alive! It’s a miracle! Boy, the city sure is different when it snows. Not a bad life, all things considered. _____, what if there is no cure? There is a cure. There must be! Let’s just focus on protecting _____. We can’t let anything happen to him. You can’t keep me in here forever! About time you came back. Why did you kidnap me? What do you want of me? The Cauldron of Life. The legend says whoever bathes in it will live as long as the mountain stones. Ah, you wish to be immortal. If the procedure is successful, I’ll release you. Service is its own reward. I would’ve thought you knew that. There is only one other hope. We need a sorceress. _____ you know I’d do anything to help. But honestly I wouldn’t even know where to start looking. We won’t give up! Open this cage, and I’ll show you how ‘useless’ I am. Death and old age have their price as well. And it’s too expensive for me. Without your sword, you’re helpless. Swordless? Maybe. Helpless? Never! What you choose to do with your life is your own affair, as long as it’s got nothing to do with me. You’re just full of surprises. No, let him go. He’s earned it. He’s forgotten more things than we’ll ever know. I’m sorry, _____. I wish it hadn’t turned out this way. I was so close to finding out if the legend was true. Now there’s no one to test it on.

AVALON

You mean we went to all that trouble to get the _____, and now I can’t even take it with me?! What am I supposed to do? Eat it? What is time to an immortal?

KINGDOM

The weak are to be protected, not exploited. Who died and made you king? If you don’t know anything, why were you shooting at us? Do I really need an excuse to have a good time in my own home?

MONSTERS

They say a man’s home is his castle, and what fun would a castle be without a dungeon? Your idea of fun would give Frankenstein nightmares. If it gets any more saccharine in there, I’m going to put a finger down my throat.

GRIEF

I’d sure like to know how you got here, but I’m programmed to shoot first and ask questions later. I demand reparation! My _____ was cruelly and unfairly taken from me! On the contrary, death is the ultimate fairness. Rich and poor, young and old - all are equal in death.

EYE OF THE STORM

It seems I’m out of practice dealing directly with mortals. It seems I am unaccustomed to dealing with a god …. or being one.

SENTINEL

She guards us in daylight, and forgets to rest herself. How did I end up here? Do you often go wandering about at night? Are you saying you don’t remember your own name? I can’t seem to remember anything. I feel lucky I know how to talk. Yeah well, I guess I could use a ride… Yeah, I’m jumping for joy here. Get your claws off me! You might want to reconsider your request. Ohhh! We’re gonna die! I will not let anything harm you. You win. I’ll behave … at least while we’re this high up. I cannot believe you pulled the trigger on me. Just shut up and land. Stop it! Stop it! I just don’t remember! I’m not even sure I want to remember! Someone has done this to you. I swear they will pay! How many ways can I say it? We mean you no harm. On the contrary, I understand your words, I simply do not believe them.

CLOUD FATHERS

This trough is filled with acid. In about ten minutes it’s going to do a very nasty job on that soil carving, not to mention your rugged good looks. It’s my first real stab at clichéd villainy. How am I doing? I should sue you for trademark infringement.

FUTURE TENSE

Time is like a river, correcting its courses against any change. History cannot be changed. You will not win! What are you going to do? Bite my kneecaps off? THE GATHERING

The humans will awaken in the morning and this will seem naught but a midsummer night’s dream. The future is not written yet. THE RECKONING

He’s a fool, but he may be useful.

POSSESSION

I think Applegate just didn’t know that, which is why this weird comment about Andalites inventing computers first is a thing.

For reference- the Antikythera Mechanism is from the first or second century BCE and is widely believed to have been an Analog Computer that could tell you various astronomy-related things or when certain events like the Olympics were supposed to take place. It was so advanced that it must have been descended from even older devices that we have lost. Analog computers capable of many mathematical tasks, such as Chess or Music, remained in use for the entirety of the Middle Ages and Renaissance through to the modern day.

What I’m getting at here is that there’s no reason to assume that andalites ever invented anything akin to paper, vellum, papyrus, or any kind of writing cloth. And there is no reason to assume that they ever invented a written language designed to be painted, like ours is, or cast in impressions in clay, or anything like that – in fact, if andalites ever invented their own alphabets, I suspect they’re supposed to be carved, using a tailblade. You can’t carve a book, and it’s difficult to make a book without first inventing textiles or similarly flat and flexible materials.

But what do andalites have? Pseudopsychic trees. And telepathy. And a vast array of metals and crystals, and minds that are great for building and interacting with computers (for some reason). I can totally buy that andalite information recording took a different route than ours; carved into wood, psychically imprinted into weird trees, then discovering how to mimic the effect in electricity or alien crystal or whatever they built their first computers out of. The idea of static records that aren’t meant to be processed by the recording instrument, and the means to store recorded information in dense stacks of pages, are things that possibly just didn’t factor into the andalite “tech tree”.

Tobias, the bird, the hawk, the nothlit. The young boy stares at the stranger who was staring at him. That was not his aunt Mary, nor any of his friends. He raised a brow. He takes out his earpods and he stares.

“Do you like my new morph? I conducted a Frolis Maneuver to create a new human morph. Mor-fu, More-phu, Mur-fo. Another interesting mouth sound.”

Tobias crossed his arms. He had an hour left. He can make it. The hawk smiled. He was still confused. “A new morph? Didn’t you like the other one?” He asked. Tobias didn’t even wanna extend the conversation. Tobias nodded upon Ax’s request. He almost forgot he can Make sounds with his mouth.. since that he didn’t have one before.
