->Basically, if someone was going to stop the [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerks]], it would have to be humans. Us. [[KidHero Five normal kids]]. Five average, everyday, mall-crawling, [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld behind on their homework]], not sure about their haircuts, awkward around members of the opposite sex, sometimes smart, sometimes dumb kids. On the Yeerks' side they had faster-than-light spacecraft, [[WeAreEverywhere thousands of impossible-to-detect human-Controllers]], Dracon beam weapons, and seven-foot-tall, bladed Hork-Bajir warriors. On our side we had... we had nothing.
->Except.
->Except that Elfangor gave us something: [[VoluntaryShapeshifting the power to morph]]. The power to become any animal we could touch. He transformed us with the blue box. And since that awful night when Prince Elfangor died at the hands of the Yeerk leader, Visser Three, we have used those powers to fight them.
->Sometimes we even win.

It was [[TheDragon Hadley]] who had the gun on his hip and the billy in his hand, Hadley who had [[VillainousFriendship his friend]] [[BadBoss Greg Stammas]] behind him and [[WardensAreEvil the whole prison administration]] behind Stammas, the whole power of the state behind ''that'', but all at once in the golden sunshine it didn't matter, and [[HellYesMoment I felt my heart leap up in my chest]] as it never had since the truck drove me and four others through the gate back in 1938 and I stepped out into the exercise yard.
