(Ulrich P.O.V.)
We virtualized, and instead of being surrounded by monsters like we had expected, we found only 3 creepers, one with a rider.
"So you are the famed Lyoko Warriors who have been causing my master so much trouble. You look less intimidating than he portrayed you. This should be a rather easy assignment." He said.
"If you want to get rid of us, you will face many problems and hardships. Do you think XANA spoke about us as mindless idiots? No! If we were do you not think that he would have killed us already?!" Aelita spoke.
"I merely thought he was too lazy, and created me for this and other little missions."
"Let's stop the chitchat and get on with the fighting!" I said. This guy was starting to get on my nerves.
"Supersprint!" I charged, with both katanas in hand.
Aelita let loose some energy fields and attempted to pick off the creepers that didn't have a rider. Surprisingly, they resisted.
"Huh?"she said in confusion.
"I created these little creatures especially to destroy you! They cannot be devirtualized by one mere attack, and can deal out lasers 3 times more powerful than before! XANA said from above. "We'll see how powerful they really are." I said, sounding braver than I felt. If they were really as powerful as XANA had said, I knew we had a tough time ahead of us. We all attacked one creeper in unison. Yumi threw both her fans, Odd shot a laser arrow, I whacked it with both katanas, and Aelita used 2 energy fields. All this was needed to take out one creeper. I charged at the main creeper, but I was repelled. "None of you can defeat me! I am A1M, casually know as Aikar. I have the power to create a shield that none can enter!"(Yumi P.O.V.)
I threw my fans at the creeper that didn't have a shield around it, Ulrich stabbed its underside, Odd shot a laser arrow and Aelita...? I then noticed she was running toward the tower. Aikar apparently noticed too, since he was pursuing her.
She didn't make it to the tower, but she did shoot an energy field at the same time I hurled my fans, which resulted in the shield coming down and the creeper disappearing into wireframe. Aikar was undaunted. He took his blade, whirled it in the air, and aimed it directly at me.
"Yumi!" Ulrich yelled.
The next thing I knew, I was devirtualized.
(Aelita P.O.V.)
I watched Yumi disappear into wireframe, then I realized Aikar was attacking the ground with his blade. This resulted in a chunk of earth dropping on Odd, devirtualizing him.
"Lyoko warriors, you are no match for my Natural Blade! Soon it will have the power to control time itself!"
He then charged at Ulrich, who supersprinted towards him, katanas blazing. I shot an energy field at Aikar before he met Ulrich, so he was devirtualized without knowing it.
"Well, well, well." XANA said from above. "You may have defeated Aikar, but I will get you eventually, Lyoko warriors!"
We devirtualized ourselves, then got the progress report from Jeremie.
"I put up the Firewall, and I am working on a way to construct a new tower. The tower should make Aikar shield useless, and it can reduce the power of his Natural Blade. It should keep XANA from putting in any Polymorphs or other annoying critters. Next time you see Aikar, he will be alone except for when the virus himself decides to show up."He said.
"Jeremie, I don't know what we would do without you!" I said.
"Watch out, the tree!" Yumi cried.
Unless someone had thought it funny to paint a XANA sign on a tree, we were screwed.
"I told you he could control the trees!"Odd said.
"Ok, Ok, you were right, but how exactly are we gonna get out of here?" I asked.
"I never knew gym could come in handy, but this is just like jumping hurdles, so thats what were gonna do: Jump XANA-Trees!" Jeremie stated.
A.N. I am going to try to write longer chapters, but until then, please review!
