The Attack


Yumi and Aelita made it to Sissi's room. They knocked on it and heard a lot of clattering. "Come in," Sissi said. They slowly came in to see a room that was still pink but had little posters.

"Hey, Sissi. How are you?" Yumi asked. Sissi turned around in her chair.

"Good, why do you ask?" Sissi wondered.

"Well, it's just that lately you've been acting a little different," Aelita said.

"What you really mean is that I've stop being the bratty, snobby, Ulrich obsessed, nosy, little whiny girl that you're use to," Sissi said smirking.

"That's a really bad way to sum it up, but yes," Yumi replied. Sissi smiled.

"I'm okay. I guess you've heard of my project?" The two girls nodded. "Well, it's not really a project. Just a book I'm writing. I don't want to tell anyone because I think that they'll laugh at me," Sissi said sadly.

"Well, why tell us?" Yumi asked.

"You guys know how to keep secrets. Especially from me," Sissi smirked as she typed on her computer again. Suddenly the outlet by the wall sparked, nearly attacking Sissi. She jumped right out of the way. "A Power Surge?"

"Not that big, Platon," Aelita whispered to Yumi.

"Listen Sissi, we got to go," Yumi said exiting the room.

"Good, because I've got to go, too. I need to talk to Mr. Lion about something," She said running out down the hall. Aelita and Yumi started for Jeremy's room.

"Yes I know. Platon. We've got to get to the factory," Jeremy said urgently. They ran out the room, but blocking their way were static charges coming out the outlets. "We've got to be careful." Soon the charges became like tentacles, grabbing Yumi and Odd.

"HIYA!" Mr. Lion came through pulling them out of the electrical tentacles. The tentacles went for him, but he stopped them.

"Huh, but how?" Jeremy asked. He looked at his hand.

"Rubber gloves. Can't conduct electricity. Ulrich, can you help me get the students out?" He asked throwing a pair of rubber gloves, "The rest of you go to safety or find someway to stop these things!" They all nodded as they rushed out.

"I'll need someone to guard me with the Supercomputer. We don't know what Platon has in store," Jeremy said.

"It's a good idea," The Mechanist's voice called over the watches, "This attack seems familiar to XANA's attacks. Don't worry about the watches. They're specially designed to withstand any possible attack." They finally got to the sewers.

"What about Ulrich?" Aelita asked. Then Ulrich's voice came over the watches.

"Hey, guys. Good news, I've figured out a way to contact you over the watches. Bad news, things are getting worse. The electricity is starting to get bigger. Mr. Lion and I are holding them off, but hurry up and deactivate the tower!" Ulrich shouted, dodging a electric charge. Mr. Lion backflipped onto a table near Ulrich.

"I hope your friends figure out a way to call for help," Mr. Lion said still battling the tentacles.

"You've got good moves," Ulrich commented.

"Learned from many warriors. Watch out!" He said as Ulrich dodged another one.

Meanwhile, the others were at the factory in the computer room. "Okay, so who's staying with Einstein?"

"Maybe William should stay. You know," Odd said. William's face sank.

"That won't be necessary. I've made it so that William or the rest of you can't be turn over by the Skipazoa (Don't know how to spell it.). It's safe," The Mechanist said.

"Alright. Then William go with the others, and Odd stay here," Jeremy said.

"Hey, why me?" Odd asked upset that he couldn't go.

"Because you're unpredictable so Platon won't expect what's coming," Aelita commented making Odd prideful. But the Mechanist said over the intercom.

"That's a very kind way of saying that he'll screw up." This caused everyone to laugh.

"Transfer: Yumi, William, Aelita. Scanner: Yumi, William, Aelita. Virtualization," Jeremy commanded. Soon the warriors were in the Desert sector. Xavier was there waiting for them. They rode off to the tower. William was still in his black XANA outfit and used Super-smoke to travel. They made it to the tower, to their dismay.

"Um... Jeremy. We've got a problem. The tower's guarded by Green Krabs. Two of them," Yumi said.

"I know. Find a way to destroy them," Jeremy said.

"Easy for him to say," Will muttered.

"Think about it. If that thing only has four eyes, then it's like a compass. West, North, South, and East," Aelita said.

"So we attack at South-West and Northeast and so on. I like it. Let's go," William said disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Yumi and Aelita charged and the corners both attacking. William got on top of one of them. "You still don't have a laser here," he said as he plunged his sword into the eye. He jumped off as the Krab exploded.

Meanwhile, Ulrich and Mr. Lion had all the students outside. "Well, that wasn't bad," Ulrich said. Soon the electrical tentacles formed an octopus outside.

"You're wrong," Mr. Lion muttered. The huge octopus came towards the group of students. "Hope your friends found a way!"

Aelita ran into the tower and was soon lifted up. She soon deactivated the tower. The electrical octopus froze and then disappeared. "Okay, the tower's deactivated, but how do we know that the 'return to the past' will work this time?" Jeremy asked.

"Don't worry, I fixed it last time you used it. Launch it Now!" the Mechanist said.

"RETURN TO THE PAST NOW!"


Back to the past.

"Everyone I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Lionel Theodore Lion," Mr. Delmas said as Mr. Lion came in.

"The return to the past. It worked!" Odd whispered. Ulrich was still thinking. Later, when Mr. Lion came into the Rec Room, the whole gang was there.

"Oh nice to see you again," Mr. Lion said.

"Um. Mr. Lion, have you ever fought before, like hand-to-hand?" Ulrich asked.

"Yes, I have. I've practiced boxing, wrestling, martial arts, and other useful techniques," Mr. Lion replied. "Why do you ask?" They all just smiled.

"No reason," They said together. Mr. Lion shrugged as he went back outside.

"He would make an excellent Lyoko Warrior," William suggested.

"Yeah, but I don't want to add him just yet. We still got a lot of things to worry about. Like who are the Mechanist and Xavier?" Jeremy said.

"We'll get it," Aelita said grabbing Jeremy's arm, making him blush.

"Alright, you two. Go to your room and have your alone time," William said making everyone laugh and Aelita and Jeremy to blush. Then Jeremy remembered something.

"Hey guys, remember when Mr. Lion was talking to us about our friendship. Do you remember he said 'virtual'?" He asked.

"Yeah, I remember. What do think he meant by that?" Yumi wondered.

"I don't know," Jeremy said. This was beginning to become a very interesting situation.
