[[spoiler: The andalite fleet was headed to Earth. Empire radars had detected the fleet approaching ahead of time, but the andalites far outgunned the yeerk forces.]] Because of this, Visser One (who had replaced Visser Three in leading Earth's invasion) decided to made a truce with the Peace Movement and the Animorphs [[spoiler: [[EnemyMine only to destroy the andantes.]]]] The ensuing battle was very bloody [[spoiler: and it resulted in Jake's death]], but the Empire and the Movement won. [[spoiler: At this point, however, the empire betrayed the movement and started infesting andalites rapidly. The Movement retaliated by doing the same, not caring if the andalites wanted to be controllers or not. Once there were no more andalites left to infest, the Movement took the remaining andalite ships and blasted into space to destroy the Council of Thirteen. The Empire followed.]]

But not all is well. The Movement has no explanation for the disappearance of the thousands of yeerks that disappear when they become nothlits. This makes the Council of Thirteen suspicious. When a spy informs them of the Movement members who remain in the Pool, the Council jumps at the opportunity to kill them. In order to make it inconspicuous, the Emperor (who controls who mates with who) orders members of the Movement to procreate [[DeathBySex so that they can die]]. Despite the cleverness of the plan, it doesn't take long for the Movement leaders to figure out what's going on. It is eventually revealed that the spy was [[spoiler: Verrator]]. [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves Zhe was killed by the movement.]] Altilow presents zhir body to Visser Three and says that it is the body of Illim, and that the rest of the Movement has defected back to the Empire.

* MeaningfulName: 'Altilow' comes from AllTimeLow, and '725' comes from the date that their EP ''Put Up or Shut Up'' was released - July 25th.

* AscendedMeme: CinnamonBunzuh, an Animorphs review blog, suggested that "your mother infested a horse" should be a yeerk insult. In this fiction, it actually is an insult to suggest that a yeerk was part of that mission.

* CreatorInJoke: It's pretty much impossible to understand every single ShoutOut, StealthPun, and

* AlienBlood: Marco once joked about Rachel decorating her locker with hork-bajir blood. [[BeserkButton She took this about as well as you might expect.]]

* ANaziByAnyOtherName: The andalite military.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The author's version of the Chee: they refuse to support anything violent at all, which was the author's excuse [[DemotedToExtra not to use them very much]].
* BoredWithInsanity: The author. He couldn't just stick with the original level of NightmareFuel - he had to take it up a notch.

* CellPhone: They're conspicuous by their absence; the author tried really hard to make sure the writing was accurate to 1998.

* DoNotTauntCthulu: At one point, Naya suggested that they could bait zhir into a trap by angering him and taunting him. Zhe almost killed her on the spot, and yet it ''still'' didn't work.

* OhGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Her last words.]]

* [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist: Cassie goes ''batshit crazy'' at the end of the series. In the final battle, she just tries to kill everyone in sight, and she succeeds on [[StakingTheLovedOne Jake]].]]

* CharacterDevelopment: All of the original six Animorphs act exactly like their book counterparts, until the [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Alternate Character Interpretations]] kick in.

* MeaningfulName: 'Verrator' comes from [[spoiler: a German word meaning 'traitor']], and '409' comes from the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark" - '''4'''ACV'''09'''.

* BeserkButton: Don't say anything bad about the Movement around Cassie, even when they really deserve it.

CartoonishSupervillainy[=/=]StupidEvil: [[spoiler: The name reason he was killed.]]

* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulu: Visser One goes to Illim, revealing that she knows exactly who he is and who his host is… but it's because she wants to team up with him [[spoiler: to stop the andalites]], not because she wanted to kill him.
