Chapter one –
"Odd! NOW!" Ulrich yelled, facing his foe. His old friend, who was shooting a manta then launched himself off of his Overboard and landed onto William's back. William cried out in frustration and frantically shook and swung his blade at the small offender, thus ignoring Ulrich, who was preparing to strike. Ulrich then used a bomb that Jeremie made to keep William from moving his feet from their current position.
Odd laughed as William tried to push him off in anger. As Aelita passed by Odd and William on the giant staircase, her wings out and ready to use just in case, she giggled and waved.
"Thanks boys!" She called and turned around without stopping as Yumi followed her. Wiliam narrowed his eyes in anger, but stopped struggling - he knew that he was trapped. Ulrich, who was in front of William, waved back and then refocused on his enemy. He smirked, moved his sword into position, and raised William's chin.
"Hey there Xana boy, guess who won this time?" William grunted in response, and Ulrich frowned.
"Wrong answer." He said, and slashed through William with one blade. The other one had been devirtualized by the mantas. William turned into smoke which vanished down the stairs and into the digital sea. Odd laughed at the sight as Ulrich raced up the stairs, and then followed him.
After jumping up a few steps, he turned back with a grin on his face, and saluted the spot in which William was defeated.
"No more monsters? Xana's gone soft!" Yumi said, mocking a surprised look by covering her mouth with one hand as Ulrich caught up to her. Odd laughed, having just got there, while Ulrich simply smiled at her.
"Yeah, I know." He said and then looked to Aelita, who was on a platform next to them a little ways above the core.
The group had discovered some new data in Sector Five, but wanted to store and secure it so that Xana couldn't get it before looking through it. That was their reason for being in the core of Lyoko. Xandidn't know what they were up to, but didn't like it, so he had sent William, along with Mantas.
Aelita was storing this said data on a small blue screen, then typed in a few extra words, and turned back to the others, smiling.
"I've put in my password. You guys can put yours in now." She said.
They had all decided that in case of Xana capturing one of them to get the data they would place passwords on the lock in order to secure it. They also agreed that they wouldn't know each other's password, so that they knew that they would have all of them together when they read through the new data.
"And don't forget, no peeking." Yumi added sternly as Odd went up and typed something in. Once he was finished, Jeremie decided to add his own from his computer.
"Sorry guys, I forgot. Also, I know we all want to know the passwords, and that it may be lost if Xana does somethign to one of us, but Aelita and I agreed that if Xana did succeed in well, you know, taking 'care' of us, we wouldn't want to continue anyways. Right?" He said quietly, and everyone nodded, trying not to think of the possibility of Xana killing one of them.
Odd looked up. "You just had to ruin the fun Einstein, huh?" He smiled and shook his head, then stepped back.
"Yumi, you're up." Yumi smiled and stepped up, typing in her own password quickly. She had put a lot of thought into hers and already knew what she would put in. She finished, and turned to Ulrich.
"Your turn." She said softly, and Ulrich stepped up as Yumi traded spots with him. He then stared at the blue screen, which seemed to be impatiently waiting for him to type, with the bar for the letters flashing every second.. His fingers hovered over a few letters, and he took a deep breath.
He had been told from the others to use a random set of words, a phrase, or even one word. He smiled at his idea, and typed in one word.
He had chosen it to remind him of something Yumi had told him about that interested him a while back. They were supposedly Japanese myths, but hey, why not use it in a password?
He smiled, made sure that he spelled it right, and then stepped back. "All done, Jeremie." Jeremie nodded from the real world.
"All right. I'll materialize you guys now." Aelita, Odd, and Yumi were materialized first, and then Ulrich.
Before he was materialized though, he heard something and looked around to see something, but failed. He shrugged as he turned into millions of little paper-like pieces.
Little did anyone know that Xana had been watching them. He frowned. They now had an advantage; he needed to fix that...
"All I may know is that they need everyone to perform something, so I'll simply rid myself of the problem...let th enemy destroy themselves..." He smirked, and disappeared.

Thanks for reading. Please R&R, or I can't continue. Criticism is widely accepted, as long as it isn't too mean.
This was from an idea I thought would be interesting, and so I tried it out on the internet.
P.s. I never normally allow my chapters to be this short, but this is more of a draft. If it is alright though, I may not have to revise it. Please tell me what you think of it.
