"In essence, yes."

Doom was not pleased by this newcomer; his sugar-coated telepathic words positively reeked of a barely-restrained arrogance and an ego the size of a small gas giant. Yet another pompous alien to contend with...

"Indeed we are different. And no, I have not heard of you myself."

The Shocker Rider answered Visser, not liking his presence somewhat. His helmet eyes were still glowing green while confronting it.

—From the door formerly belonging to Sylvanas, a purple box flew, transforming in front of the Yeerk. Spyglass turned to the quadruped, giving him an appraising look.—

You are who?

Telepathy? Odd, this Visser three was an odd species.

Gilgamesh was curious about one thing,

“Were you not all contacted by one of these Nomads before being placed here?”

<Need I repeat myself again? I am Visser Three of the Yeerk Empire. And I have not been contacted by these so-called 'Nomads' before coming here, although I intend to leave as soon as possible. Have any of you attempted to escape yet?>

"I doubt your kind actually exists in any of our universes," Maleficent said to Visser Three. "Aside from invading other people's minds merely for the sake of conversation, what else are you Yeerks capable of doing?" she said. It was quite apparent by her voice that she REALLY did not enjoy her mind being invaded, no matter how slight or important the reason.

"And no, I do not believe any of us have tried to escape yet," Maleficent continued. "We are dealing with obvious Gods, and only through waiting for a weakness to exploit is the best option at this point." A beat. "If we're lucky, our captor may just get bored with us."

Fawful looked at Visser Three quizzically, having picked up on something he'd just said.

"What meaning do you have when you are saying "host?""

Pretend there's something clever written here.

<I see.> said the Visser, his patience beginning to fray. <Perhaps you have not been... direct enough about escaping from this thinly-disguised cell?>

Hearing Fawful's question, the visser cocked another eye at him. <My host- an Andalite, to be exact- is the body you currently see. I merely live inside his brain, controlling his actions.>

"We are still working on it." The Shocker Rider told Visser. "If you have some ideas, perhaps it would be best to tell us now."

Doom arched his eyebrow and steepled his fingers. "Then would I be correct in assuming that you Yeerks are a parasitoid species?"

“So you are a parasite. Living on the strength of others.” There was only one emotion in Gilgamesh’s voice now.

Disgust.

Gilgamesh wanted to face an opponent who had actual strength and the will to back it up. But for someone to steal another power like that…it left a very bad taste in his mouth.

<A parasite?> asked Visser Three, amused. <Your tone conveys revulsion, human. But do you eat the flesh of other creatures? Your species murders thousands on a daily basis- who are you to judge our species?>

The Shocker Rider eyed Visser Three carefully, clenching his gloved fists.

Intelligent parasites, Maleficent thought. Already I want to kill this being painfully...... she mentally added, the very thought of some sort of creature borrowing into the brain matter of another and taking over their thoughts and bodies disgusted her immensely. Magic spells and hypnotism was a far more efficient and far less messy method of mind control to her.

Visser Three might be able to sense that there were psychic blocks placed on the room with the fleshy, pulsating door, already set up by a powerful psychic.

Flandre turned to the odd creature and tilted her head. "If this isn't your body, then what does your body look like?" She asked.

<If I were to show you my true body,> said the Visser, <then I fear that my host would immediately destroy me. We Yeerks are a pitiful species in our true bodies; blind, deaf, mute, unable to travel more than a few inches at a time. If you were one of us, would you object to taking over another's mind?>

"Technically that is being predation, not parasitism, but the point of you has validity," said Fawful thoughtfully.

He looked at Viewfinder curiously. "Interest... it is seemign that the mechanical mind of you is not have hearing of the speech of thought of the Visser with Thirdness? perhaps a translator of some sort..."

"Centaur... scorpion... blue?!" Black Mage said. "Either you're another arrival or a godless abomination that Red Mage made..." He looked at Visser 3 with interest.

"So the only way for your kind to survive is to crawl into heads of your victims, eat away at the brains, and hijack their bodies as the victim is helpless, unable to do anything, a prisoner of their own bodies as they watch you do whatever acts you wish their body?" Maleficent summed up.

She then chuckled sadistically. "My my, this is the first time I have ever met a species who's very act of survival is already inherently evil!" she said before giving off a cruel laugh. On second thought, I might enjoy this being's presence, she thought.

<And what do you do to survive?> asked Visser Three angrily. <You round up thousands of animals and plants, force-feed them until they are bloated mockeries of their wild forbears, then slaughter them one by one! You humans are no less evil than the Yeerks!>

"Well, at least we're good at outeviling you. Seems like you only do eat brains to survive, so you aren't exactly viewed as evil." Daido said to the Yeerk.
