X.A.N.A.'s last attack Chapter 1: The first strike

As Yumi climbed out of the shower and reached for her towel she began to think about everything that had happened since they first entered Lyoko. She wondered when it would all be over and X.A.N.A. would finally be defeated. As she began to dry herself a knock on her door could be heard. "Just a minute!" said Yumi as she reached for a robe and put it on. She opened the door and there stood Jeremy.
"Yumi we've got trouble! X.A.N.A. has caused some sort of disturbance in Lyoko! I can't tell what he's planning yet but Aelita says he's activated more then one tower!" said Jeremy, frantically. "I'll get dressed then meet you, Ulrich and Od at the factory." said Yumi. She closed the door and then started getting dressed. As she dressed she thought to herself: What could X.A.N.A. be planning? It must be something horrible to need the use of more then one tower... better hurry up and meet the others at the factory.
After Jeremy had spoken to Ulrich and Od the three friends started heading for the factory. "Where's Yumi?" asked Od. "She said she had to get dressed before she could come with us." said Jeremy. "Well Jeremy do you have any idea what X.A.N.A. might be planning this time?" asked Ulrich. "No idea, but it must be something big."
The three friends proceeded along their path to the factory with great speed wanting to stop X.A.N.A. as soon as possible. As they reached the entrance to the tunnel leading to the factory the friends heard Yumi call for them. They turned around to see Yumi running towards them yelling for them to slow down. As they waited for her to catch up Od casually looked up at the sky to see what appeared to be a star. "Hey Jeremy, what's that in the sky?" asked Od curiously as he pointed into the heavens. "I don't know..." was Jeremy's response. As Jeremy gazed at the glow his expression became frantic as he figured out what the glow really was. "EVERYONE TAKE COVER!!!" Jeremy yelled as the military satellite fired its laser with deadly accuracy.
As the beam streaked towards its target Od and Jeremy jumped down into the tunnel to take cover. Ulrich stood there, frozen as the beam streaked ever close. Yumi about 20 yards away threw herself against the ground, unable to find a better place to take cover. As she did this the laser hit its target with devastating force. The beam tore up the ground throwing dirt and rocks in every direction, ripping trees up by the roots and throwing Ulrich off his feet.
As Ulrich felt debris ripping at his body and his consciousness fading his thoughts were on Yumi. Was she alive? Was she hurt? Will he ever see her again? As he began to black out his mind filled with questions and unease, and his heart ached horribly with the feeling of loss.
