A New Friend

Chapter 2

Guard Dog

Disclaimer: Me no own.

Odd, Ulrich and Yumi ran through the woods, being chased by the pack of wolves possessed by XANA. They eventually came to a cliff, where they were hemmed in by the pack, as they were running, all three of them had been tripped up by loose materials on the forest floor at one point, keeping the wolves on their heels. When they reached the cliff, none of them dared try to climb it while the wolves were so close.

They instead prepared themselves to fight, arming themselves with sticks and their own abilities, they braced for the dozen wolves to attack.

When they didn't, the three attacked themselves, swinging at the mangy mutts. The sticks they wielded drove straight through them, making them disappear.

"They're holograms," Ulrich yelled, "XANA's cleverer than I thought."

As they continued bashing through the wolves, their sticks shattered against three of them. As the three heroes realized they weren't out of danger yet, another wolf jumped out of the woods making them groan aloud at their misfortune.

But that was before the wolf snapped at the others, chasing them away with more strength and determination than any of them expected. As the black wolf chased them away, the Lyoko signs disappeared from their eyes and they ran off yelping, one with a broken leg.

As the last wolf stood there triumphantly, growling to ward off any more attacks, the three warriors stood behind it, frozen in fear. Just because this wolf had been protecting its territory did not mean that it would spare them.

The wolf swung around to come face to face with them and stared into their eyes with its bright blue eyes. While they braced themselves for attack, it stretched out one front leg and lowered its head in a clear bow, then loped off into the woods.

At the factory, Jeremy and Aelita stared at the super scanner in disbelief as a tower deactivated before their eyes. They quickly made a call to Yumi.

"Jeremy, what's happening on your end?" Yumi's voice called from the speaker phone.

"Now, nothing, XANA just deactivated his tower." Jeremy answered.

"How long ago?" She asked calmly.

"Just a second ago, why?" Aelita asked.

"Thought so, XANA deactivated the tower because the attack wasn't going to do anything more. The wolves that were chasing us were chased off by another wolf, a black one with blue eyes."

Jeremy's eyes nearly blew out of their sockets, "Are you three okay?"

"Fine, it just ran off after it chased away the others, but not before bowing to us."

Jeremy instantly started muttering about the effects of nuclear batteries and the super calculator, but Aelita wasn't listening, she was starting to slowly smile at the description of the wolf, more pleased than she had any right to be.

"I don't know about all that, Jeremy," Yumi interrupted, "and I honestly don't care, because I for one wouldn't say no to having a super powered guard dog around."

Here's chapter 2, and now my little doggy is getting more and more interesting. How will it help our heroes next? What other strange abilities does it have? What will it take to stop me asking rhetorical questions? Let's try ending the chapter.
