Good thing the digital worms weren't that intelligent. Hacker was the master marionettier; the worms, merely his puppets. XANA had no idea that Lyoko had been unleashed in the natural world as well, until it was too late. When he awoke, he was still imprisoned due to the firewall, but Hacker's code dissolved that. 'When I get my hands on Hawkmoth, he's going to wish I never met him !', he vowed, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth vengefully. His vendetta would be a poison tipped arrow; smooth, swift, clean-cut, and deadly.
Everyone fanned out to cover more ground, pairing off into twos. The worms were focused on the targets in front of them, so they were blind to a rear assault. At first, they felt they had this victory in the bag with the number of worms being sent into oblivion, but Hawkmoth was only getting started with his destrada.
