Welcome to Aearon's Pokézone!
Jake discovers a chat room dedicated to discussing the Yeerks. Discussing it with the rest of the group, they are divided on whether it's a trap or a chance to find allies. Deciding the allies would be too helpful to risk passing up, they decide to break into not!AOL so that Ax can hack in and obtain the identities of the people chatting. They decide to get a flight to the headquarters, which involves morphing into flies and boarding a plane. While on the flight, Jake is squashed and almost dies, but is carried away by the others and demorphs in the airplane bathroom. Once at the not!AOL headquarters, Ax and Marco hack into the mainframe while the others supply a very unsubtle distraction.
They discover that one of the people in the chatroom is none other than the head of not!AOL. Deciding to investigate him rather than keep a small child from confronting his father who is probably a Controller, they morph birds and head for his mansion. The window they fly through is trapped and knocks Rachel unconscious, and the guard dogs capture and retrieve Ax. The others escape. Jake has a crisis of confidence, but eventually comes up with a plan. He and Tobias head to the gardens and he acquires a rhino morph, which proves very *very* effective at tearing down the walls of the billionaire's mansion. They break in, and come face to face with the man himself.
He reveals that he is a Controller, and that the yeerk worked with the human to gain fame, fortune, and all the information about everyone who uses not!AOL. The chatroom is a ruse to locate other Yeerks so that he can turn their bodies into a nutrient paste that eliminates the need for Kandrona rays or a yeerk pool. Jake agrees to let him live, in exchange for the lives of his teammates. Jake also threatens that if they ever meet him outside of his mansion, that he's toast.
Man, you can tell this book was written in 1998. For one, Ax complains that the humans don't have internet speeds in the millions of bits per second. That's the sort of speed I get now, and my internet is *slow*. I feel like Andalites should probably have better internet speeds than a rock in the middle of the ocean. For two, the book takes a lot of time to explain things like chat rooms (remember those?) and usernames and technologies that are now common place. The emphasis on how people on the internet aren't necessarily who they claim to be is especially funny in the age of oversharing on social media and cookies and trackers following your every move. If this book was set now, they'd be able to find a smorgasboard of information about Y33rksSuck.
But for three,
