< Well, > Ax thought for a moment. < The first time he was really noticed... > ...Must have been right after the Ellimist tore him away from his life on Earth. Ax decided not to say that. < An Andalite Dome ship, the StarSword, was under attack by a swarm of Bug Fighters and a Pool ship. The StarSword had been crippled, and the captain ordered all remaining Tail Fighters away so he could initiate the self-destruct. Just after all our Fighters flew out of range, a visser's Blade Ship appeared out of Zero-Space and sliced away the remaining engines so that the StarSword couldn't self-destruct. >
Ax noted that, even though he had both heard and told this story multiple times over, even though he had been in so many fights against the Yeerks that he'd lost count, he was still a little excited about this story. It was one of his favorites -- very dramatic, and his brother had survived it triumphantly. < The Blade Ship would have captured the StarSword, > he continued. < And it was the Blade Ship belonging to the Abomination; Visser Three. But then a lone Fighter came out of nowhere and its pilot announced that he'd take care of the Blade Ship, then switched to an open frequency that both the StarSword and the Blade Ship could monitor.
< Elfangor told the Abomination that he was aimed directly at his ship, and that he'd punch up to maximum burn in ten seconds. The Abomination quailed and tried first to shoot at Elfangor and then to dodge, but Elfangor was too fast. He rammed the Blade Ship with his Fighter and severed the bridge entirely. Minutes later, the TailStrike came out of Zero-space, and the Yeerks fled in fear. >
