Marco nodded in approval. "Nice." And if he had even a fraction of Erek's strength, he'd come in real handy.

Still, that didn't mean Marco was going to trust him with his entire life story. For all that anyone and everyone had known all about the Animorphs for the last few years, Marco found it all too easy to slip back into secrecy mode. As far as he was concerned, the fewer people who knew about his morphing, the better.

So with a shrug, Marco have a heavily censored version of the Yeerk war. "Nothing nearly so cool. We had an invasion a few years back, and I helped out with the resistance. But hey, the war's over and now I've got a part in what is, in my opinion, a kick-ass tv show. Hey, after all, I'm in it," Marco grinned - was Marco's ego seriously that big, or was he just acting like it for kicks? It was hard to tell. Possibly it was both. "The whole universe ending thing seriously messed that up though."
