CODE LYOKO

Chapter one: Just the four of them

Odd was running down the desert region with Ulrich when he came to a halt. Then he saw three tarantulas guarding the white tower, with a mega tank in front of them.

"Why'd ya stop Odd?" asked Ulrich.

Odd let out a sigh and told him about the monsters ahead of them. After that, a kankrelat virtualized behind the boys and shot a laser. Luckily, Ulrich blocked it with his sword. Odd yelled "laser arrow" and destroyed the monster.

"XANA is not that smart sometimes, ya know that Ulrich?" boasted Odd.

"Heh, don't get overconfident, I didn't lose my guard when that monster came." said Ulrich.

"Sure, sure Ulrich!"

With that, two blocks emerged from the canyon and started firing a frenzy of lasers at the boys. Odd ran towards one of the blocks, somersaulted over it, and destroyed it with a kick. Ulrich blocked the lasers without effort and deflected a laser back at another laser, fired by that block.

"Darn it!" said Ulrich."I wanted to blow up that monster!"

"Come on Ulrich! Lighten up!" said Odd.

The tarantulas heard the commotion and headed towards the two boys, leaving the megatank behind. Luckily, Odd got there before they climbed the rocks. Odd tried to attack but got shot twice by one of the tarantulas.

"Odd that's 20 life points, be careful." Warned Jeremy. He always does that at the last minute.

"Oh yeah?AND where were YOU all this time?" shouted Odd.

"I WAS working on the tower!" Jeremy defensively shot back.

"Well, what'd you find out?" asked Ulrich after impacting the block's eye.

"It seems since the tower is not online, XANA is not attacking. The tower is just neutral because maybe the data of the tower is als-"

"ENGLISH JEREMY!" said Ulrich, annoyed by Jeremy's tech-talk.

"THE FREAKING TOWER IS NOT ACTIVATED!" shouted the aggravated Jeremy.

"Got it Einstein!" said Ulrich and Odd in unison.

And with that, Odd landed a crushing kick on the tarantula's head, causing it to explode.

BOOM!

"Done and done." rejoiced Odd.

It was Ulrich's turn. He dashed towards the second tarantula and pulled out his sword. Ulrich yelled out a not-so-popular ninja yell and slashed the tarantula's head, and jumped off to avoid the explosion.

"Awww yeah!" said Ulrich proudly.

"Nice job guys! You're doing great." exclaimed Jeremy.

Then Odd and Ulrich both let out a battle cry as they charged toward the last tarantula. But this one was a high-leveled monster, and gave both of the boys a very hard time.

"OH NO!" yelled Jeremy overhead.

"What is it Einstein?" asked Odd while taking a hit from one of the tarantula's arms, and got back up to look at the sky.

"XANA's monster is very skilled!" panicked Jeremy."It has 1500 life points, and somehow fights like a human!"

"WHAT!" screamed Odd and Ulrich. With that, the tarantula landed a roundhouse kick but missed, then held up its leg and started firing at the boys. Sadly, Odd received a headshot and Ulrich got shot on the stomach.

"Ulrich and Odd, you have 10 life points left!" said Jeremy, still panicking.

But the boys didn't give up. They quickly shot up and dashed towards the monster, with Odd on all fours and Ulrich using super sprint. Ulrich took out his other sword to block the incoming lasers while Odd simply dodged them. Then they attacked the tarantula with a frenzy of arrows and slashes.

BANG!

"ALRIGHT! My lasers aren't just for show!"

"Heh, ya got that Odd! My swords aren't just for show either!"

"LOOK OUT!" yelled Jeremy.

KRESSH!

Unaware about what has happened, the two boys appeared at the opened scanners. The megatank had shot the boys when they didn't notice that the monster was there this entire time.

Ulrich and Odd went up the elevator to the lab where Jeremy was at by the supercomputer, while William was asleep on the floor by the ladder.

"Jeremy what was that just now?" asked Ulrich.

"Megatank." said Jeremy, getting off the chair.

"Aw man I completely forgot about that thing." pouted odd.

"Well we don't have to worry about it now, we should wake up William. XANA send four monsters to guard the tower. Why is that?" informed Ulrich.

"He was about to activate it. It's a good thing we went to Lyoko before he did that." said Jeremy.

Odd yawned."We should get some sleep for Friday. I don't want to be late for that science test for Mrs. Hertz tomorrow."

Ulrich also yawned."Yeah. we should go to bed Jeremy."

Jeremy yawned too."Yeah, I guess. Try waking up William."

Ulrich went to the still sleeping William and nudged him on the shoulder.

"Wakey wakey."

William snores.

"William get up." still nudging him.

"W…what?"

"Come on we're going back"

"Get out of my room….moron." said the sleeping boy.

"Jeremy you still got that water bottle you had earlier?" asked Ulrich.

"I finished it during the devirtualization. sorry." said Jeremy.

Odd tossed Ulrich his half-finished bottle."Use mine."

Ulrich catches it and poured water on William's face, causing him to snap awake.

BAM!

Odd and Jeremy cringed.

"OW! Darn it! What's your problem!" snapped the now awake teen, rubbing his head for he had hit it on the wall.

"Come on sleepy head, we're leaving!" hollered Odd.

William got up and followed Ulrich to the elevator. The four boys headed for the dorms saying goodnight and went to their rooms.

Ulrich slumped onto his bed. Odd was about to say good night to Ulrich but he was already asleep. Kiwi was beside Ulrich asleep as well. Odd was surely tired as well, but waited a few seconds. He thought about why XANA didn't attack, but he was happy. Then he tried to get up, but failed and went to sleep.
