It seems to me that the Animorphs didn't actually need to board the Pool Ship at any point, just Erek, so that he could hack into its systems and disable it.

They also could've asked the Chee to use holograms to *simulate* an attack on the Pool Ship, which given that the Chee have previously been able, in concert, to simulate an entire valley, should've been comfortably within their capabilities.

So. Erek in the Pool Ship, disabling it. Other Chee faking an attack - the Chee can't commit violence, their programming doesn't allow it, but they're shown as perfectly capable of simulating it. Meanwhile, the Animorphs and as many of the Auxiliaries as they like, board the Blade Ship in flea morph.

Rachel doesn't have to die fighting someone else's fight. With all the Animorphs plus James' Auxiliaries, they should be able to overwhelm the morph-capable Controllers that Tom's stocked the Blade Ship with, can probably even force a surrender rather than needing to kill them all. Tom doesn't have to die.

Megamorphs 4 demonstrated that the Blade Ship can be operated by just one pilot, Ax. Ax uses the Blade Ship to take out the engines and weapons of the Pool Ship.

Et voila. When the Andalite fleet shows up, Jake can give essentially the same speech, with the only caveat being that Visser One is technically still at large, but he's at large on the disabled Pool Ship, so the Andalites can just invade and take the Pool Ship. Visser One will surrender in the face of a hopeless situation, that's just a basic facet of Yeerk psychology. Alloran still gets to be free.

Et voila. Rachel lives, Tom lives, the Auxiliaries live, Jake doesn't burn his relationship with the Chee or get a bunch of US marines and disabled children killed...
