Not that that meant I was the leader. But I figured someone had to be.
We needed to work together.

I felt a slight quiver of doubt. Would Ax do what I asked?

But I could already see the changes in him. He would be fully Andalite soon.

You'll be able to see Jake and cover me.>

It was a large, square opening between floors. An escalator on one end.
Stairs at the other end. Railing all around. You know how it is. Basic
mall architecture.

14 I waited impatiently for Ax to demorph. We would need firepower. And
very few things were more dangerous than an Andalite.

Ax trotted to the head of the stairs. I began to demorph. I would then
morph again and go down the escalator that came from the other
direction. I would go down that escalator as a grizzly bear. I didn't
think even a lion could do much to hurt me in that morph. And we'd have
Jake covered from both sides.

I gradually took on my normal, human shape again. It was so bizarre,
standing there in the mall. I was barefoot. Wearing just my morphing

outfit, a leotard. I knew exactly where I was, exactly what stores were
around me. After all, I spent a good part of my life in that mall.

But this wasn't the mall as I knew it. This was a place of dim lights
and deep shadows. Of threat. Of danger.

A sound!

I looked at Ax. We both strained, listening. A ringing sound. Coming
from . . . coming from a jewelry store about ten storefronts away.

Staring hard, I could see the broken glass on the floor. Someone had
knocked out the window to the jewelry store.

David! Of course. He was probably stuffing a sack full of diamonds right
now.

"Go!" I hissed to Ax. "I'll be right there!"

15 I finished demorphing and actually noticed, despite myself, that Foot
Locker was having a big sale. I began to morph again and -

I never heard him. There was no roar. No warning.

I just caught a glimpse of tan reflected in the glass of the Foot Locker
