I just talked to Fran, and Alex is getting Ax's Andalite tail, which as you may know, is his primary weapon in his real body. She said she might have Bakura get Alex to protect Lyall. I'm up for that - what do you think?

ETA: Since he knows Anthony pretty well at this point, he'd probably gravitate to him, too, if that's not too many people all in one thread. :)
