Prologue

During the Years following X.A.N.A.s defeat, the Earth knew a time of peace. For ten years, this peace was uninterrupted. However, all good things must come to an end. The human race started to usurp their precious energy, and with it, Earth would become a wasteland. The five Lyoko warriors: Jeremie Belpois, Ulrich Stern, Aileta Schaffer, Odd Della Robia, and Yumi Ishiyama, all fled to the old abandoned Factory to try and save their world. Jeremie started up the Super computer, and within minutes, Lyoko was back online, but in a different way. Since the computer has been shut down for ten years, Lyoko revisioned itself, to the view of the Star Wars Galaxy, every planet, every system, is now a result of the ten years of peace. Jeremie virtualized everyone, including himself. Now after two books into the series, we pick up where the X.A.N.A wars had left off, where Odd has been kidnapped by William, and Coruscant is under Siege.

The cold vacuum of space was quiet. Coruscant's night side was a beauty to behold. However, on the other side of the planet, Starfighters and Cruisers were entering Coruscant's orbit. Two Jedi eta 2 class Starfighters entered behind Lyoko Cruiser Resolute. Both in unison, it was as if each were tied together. As the fighters dropped below to the planet, a huge battle was in progress. Banding Class vessels fired at Republic ships. X.A.N.A's forces had kidnapped Jedi Knight Odd Della Robia and were attempting to flee the Planet. In the Starfighters were Jedi Master Jeremie Belpois and Jedi Knight Ulrich Stern, who were attempting to free their friend from General William's clutches.

"Lock on to him R5" Jeremie ordered his droid as they approached the capital class vessel.

"Master, General William's ship is directly ahead, the one crawling with Vulture Androids" Ulrich replied to his friend.

"Oh, I see it, oh this is going to be fun" Jeremie said as he wavered his ship around the battle.

The two fighters moved closer as the Vulture ships took off from the side of the Last hand. Ulrich got his cannons at the ready while Jeremie set his s-foil wings to attack position.

"Rouge, do you copy?" Ulrich asked on his comlink headset

"Copy Red 5" Rouge answered

"Mark our position form your squad up behind us" Ulrich ordered.

"We're on your tail General Ulrich. Set s-foils to attack position".

The fighters started to shoot down vulture droids as they moved closer to the ship. Jeremie was a crack shot with his guns, while Ulrich kept the droids busy with his speed and flying.

"Flying isn't for me." Ulrich said with a little sarcasm

in his voice. One of the androids missiles exploded into dis function bugs. These little pests were designed to take apart ships and Starfighters so that they could no longer be used against X.A.N.A.

Ulrich dodged most of them, but one landed on his right wing where there was no droid to help disable it.

"I'm hit, Master-"

"I see them, Dis function bugs" Jeremie started firing at it, but missed every one.

"Ulrich, use the force on this one"

Ulrich lifted his hand in a forceful motion and pushed the droid off his starfighter.

"The General's command ship is dead ahead" Ulrich said with confidence.

"One problem, the shields are still up" Jeremie said to his former padawan.

"Oops, sorry Jeremie" Ulrich said as he started firing at the corner of the hangers shield power. The shield was down and the security door started to close. They only had a split second before the door closed on them. The fighters made it inside and Jeremie got out first, lightsaber activated, started cutting down androids in the hanger. Ulrich quickly followed with his saber thrown from his cockpit. More androids entered the hanger but were quickly subdued after Ulrich and Jeremie. The hanger was secure.

"Let me plug-in to the ships internal system" Jeremie said as he worked his way to a holographic map of the ship.

"Odd's signal is coming from right there, the observation dome"

Ulrich looked around suspicious. "I sense a clone and a trap"

"Then well spring the trap" Jeremie said. "Let's move on"

The two left the hanger and proceeded down the hallway.
