Code: Exposed (Chapter 1)
When one mission on Lyoko turns bad, the Lyoko Warriors are forced into a mission they know they will regret. Will they be able to redeem themselves? Find out in this series.
Author's Note: In this story, William is under X.A.N.A.'s power and Christopher (See The New Lyoko Warrior and its sequel, XANA Has Returned) will be in this story as well, just with a different appearance.

Chapter 1: Prologue And A Strange Attack
Aelita's POV
I was with Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Jennifer, Jeremie, Miranda, Christopher, and my mother at the Hermitage, scared stiff, wondering when the authorities would come for us.
"We'll be okay, Princess." My boyfriend said as he was tending to my knee.
"How can you be sure?" I asked him.
"I can't. All I can say is don't lose faith. We'll be just fine." He replied. Ulrich came back with Yumi, her ankle was worse than my knee.
"He's right, Aelita. As long as we have each other, we'll be fine." Ulrich said, making me feel better.
"Yeah. By the way, who's going to catch our food this time?" Yumi asked.
"I'll do it." Christopher offered after binding my leg and moving on to Yumi's ankle. After he finished binding her ankle, he grabbed his Energy Sword and Dagger and went hunting. I then got to my feet and limped over to my mother.
Christopher's POV
After binding Aelita's leg and Yumi's ankle, I went off into the woods to hunt. I used my Lyoko ability and activated my active camouflage as soon as I stepped out the door. I moved quickly because I knew it wouldn't last long. I finally found a buck deer and readied my Dagger for shooting. I shot it and hit the dear in the chest and killed it. I then moved quick to grab it and get back to the Hermitage before I could be spotted. Everytime I did that, I knew I was running the risk of being caught. Fortunately, I've never been caught once.
General POV
How did this team come to be where they are now? It all started three months ago.
On Lyoko's Ice Sector
Ulrich's POV
Christopher had just dropped out of sight with his active camouflage and proceeded to attack the Tarantula. His camouflage gave out just as he stood in front of the monster and surprised it. It didn't have time to react before he drove his Energy Dagger through the monster. Just then, William arrived and stood behind Yumi.
"Supersprint!" I shouted and attacked William before he could devirtualize her. Christopher saw me and William going at it and told me to run when he told me to.
"Why?" I asked him.
"I have an idea. Trust me." He said as he called Yumi and Aelita over to him. I then the heard Aelita singing and guessed what his plan was. I looked up and saw an iceberg being held in the air by Yumi's telekinesis.
"Now, Ulrich!" Christopher said.
"Supersprint!" I said and Yumi released her hold on the iceberg and it devirtualized William. Then, I heard a screeching sound coming from behind us and turned around saw his Black Manta was still here.
"Laser Arrows!" I heard Odd shout and the monster exploded.
General POV
"Great work you guys." Jeremie said as Aelita made her way to the tower.
"Don't you guys think this is weird?" Christopher asked, shutting off his Sword and sheathing his Dagger.
"I do." Yumi and Ulrich said at the same time.
"Yeah, usually X.A.N.A. sends us more of a challenge to help William." Odd said.
"Who knows? But I'm with you guys. X.A.N.A. must have something up his sleeve." Jeremie said. "But, Einstein, X.A.N.A. doesn't have any sleeves." Odd said, laughing. Christopher got tired of hearing Odd's jokes because he pulled his Gravity Hammer off of his back and bashed it against Odd, devirtualizing him.
"Thank you." Ulrich said.
"No problem. You guys go on ahead and head back to the lab. I'll wait for Aelita to come out of the tower and we'll meet up with you guys." He said. Ulrich drew one of his sabres as Yumi drew one of her fans and threw it at the samurai as he slashed the geisha, thereby devirtualizing them both.
Aelita then came out of the tower and Christopher explained what happened while she was inside, then he activated his Energy Dagger as Aelita charged up an Energy Field. The arbiter and the elf then shot at each other and returned to the scanners.
Meanwhile on Lyoko
X.A.N.A. laughed maniacally as the heroes had no idea what had just happened.
"Phase one complete. And now for Phase Two."
That's chapter one. I apologize for how short it is. Keep reviewing and you'll find out what happens in this first part of my three part series.
