Summary: A Daria/Animorphs crossover. Jane just walking home from the mall when a spaceship crashed right in front of her. Now she and her "friends" have the power to turn into animals— which they'll need to stop the alien invasion threatening the planet!


Epilogue

Scores of miles to the east and quite a bit downward a figure frowned to himself, dropping his equipment onto the grass.

<It's no use,> he sighed. <The communicator's too damaged…there's no way I can send a thought-speak signal any farther without a Z-space transmitter, and there's no way a radio signal would be any good.> He paused. <And all that water probably wouldn't help matters.>

His stalk eyes leaned back to stare above him. Where there should have been a red-gold sky there was instead water, millions and millions of gallons of it, pushing down on the top of the dome. His main eyes scanned the interior, filled with its lush blue and red grasses, trees and artificial lake.

His mind wandered. It had been several days now since the battle with the Yeerks; several days since he had crashed in the ocean of this strange planet, <Earth,> without working means to contact his fellow Andalites. Assuming any of them were still alive, or had the technology to get to him.

And if they didn't, the Yeerks did. How long could he hold out for a rescue before the enemy became aware of his existence?

He pawed at the grass nervously. His tail-blade flicked.

<Well…if I'm going to get out of here, it looks like I'll have to do it myself,> he decided.

And "Apathymorphs: The Invasion" is finally finished. Now to ger ready for the sequel! :doh: It'll probably be a bit before I actually get that story outlined and start writing---anyone want to guess who the Andalite is in the meantime? He's a canon Daria character, despite his extraterrestrial reimagining. ;)

Thanks to everyone who's read, and if you haven't spoken up before, please take the chance to give me any last-minute comments! The more people I know are reading, the more encouragement I'll have in the face of at least five more of these stories. :faint:

I've read this before, and I'm still reading it this very minute, so at least you know for sure that someone's reading and enjoying it. :) 

I'm dying to see what happens next. Will it be another "Apathymorphs" book or a different crossover?
