Odd jumped as the 'cockroach' shot yet another laser at him, "Jeremy, where's that help you said was coming?" Odd asked him.
"They're on their way Della Robbia, just don't die!" Jeremy replied.
"You have any other advice?" Odd asked sarcastically. Jeremy ignored the comment.
"Hurry up guys! Della Robbia is getting murdered!" Jeremy quickly informed Aero, Zack, and Ulrich.
"Keep your shirt on Belpois, we're hurrying!" Ulrich replied.
"There, I see Odd!" Aero shouted as he pointed ahead. Odd got hit in the back with a laser and fell to the ground.
He quickly scrambled to his feet and turned around, "Does anyone one have bug spray?" Odd asked jokingly.
Aero quickly drew his bow, "Eat this you little roachsters!" He fired off an arrow at one of the three 'cockroaches' and missed completely. "Crap, let's try that again." Aero said as he took out another arrow.
"Oh, for the love of Pete, I'll do it," Zack said as he pulled out a shuriken, "Stars!" The shuriken duplicated and Zack threw them at the 'roaches'. One star hit, the other two missed entirely. The 'roach' that was hit stumbled for a minute before exploding, leaving only the four legs.
"Nice shot, but watch a pro do it!" Aero fired off three more arrows, only one hit and the 'roach' exploded. But there was still one left. Aero reached for another arrow and found he had only one left. "Ah, crap! I'm almost out of arrows!" As if on cue, the one arrow split into three, "Nice!" Aero fired off the three arrows and hit the last 'roach', which also exploded.
Odd stopped running once the threat was gone, "Nice shot… umm… who are you again?" He asked.
"I'm Aero, I made a bet with you earlier," Aero replied.
"Name's Zack, I don't believe we've met," Zack responded casually.
"Hey Odd," Ulrich said simply.
"Hey Ulrich, someone want to explain what's going on here?" Odd asked.
"We're in a virtual world called Lyoko, and we're here to rescue you," Aero replied. It was then that Odd noticed the majority of their weapons, "Oh, come on, you guys get all those cool weapons and I'm stuck with these stupid paws," Odd slapped his arm with the palm of his hand and an arrowhead fired out of his paw. Ulrich quickly moved his head out of the way to avoid it.
"Hey, watch it with those things!" Ulrich shouted at Odd.
"Ok, I take that back, these arrows are cool!" Odd said.
The elevator reached the computer room with Sissi and Kiwi in it, "Uhh, that's great, now try to hook up with Maya in her tower," Jeremy instructed.
"Who's this Maya?" Sissi asked impatiently.
"She's an AI program in this virtual world-"
"Hold on Jeremy, don't make her think to hard. She might strain her brain cell," Aero said, hearing Jeremy talking to Sissi, and then laughed along with Odd and Ulrich. He then noticed Zack wasn't laughing, "Aw come on, that was hilarious! Why aren't you laughing?" He asked him.
"I don't laugh at hot girls," Zack answered.
"She can't hear you, you can only hear it through the head piece Jeremy's wearing," Aero commented.
"Oh, well in that case," Zack said, then started laughing.
"Uh, guys, would you mind cutting the laughter short and getting to Ma- what the?" Suddenly Kiwi started barking loudly at some cables as they started to shake, "Huh?" Jeremy asked out loud. Suddenly the cables burst from the ground and one bashed Kiwi out of the way and into the elevator.
"Wuh- aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" Sissi screamed as the cabled emerged from the ground.
"Jeremy, you there? Jeremy?" Zack asked. There was no reply.
"Hey, Jeremy! Which tower do we head to?" Aero asked, "Where is he?"
Jeremy jumped out of his seat and jumped out of the way of one of the cables at the same time. Another cable quickly shot at him, but he ducked under it, "This is not good!" He shouted, and quickly jumped away from another cable.
"Hey, maybe it's this tower," Odd leaned against the tower, and suddenly passed through it! "What the- whoaaaaaaaaaaa!" He shouted. He suddenly found himself falling into a large open space, he quickly turned his head and saw a platform to his right. He reached out and grabbed it, digging his claws into it. He tried to pull himself up, but suddenly he heard a familiar noise. 'That's the noise it made when I passed through the tower's wa- uh oh' Odd thought as Ulrich passed through the tower and started falling. He was just able to grab onto Odd's leg and stop himself from falling.
"Whoa, that's a steep fall, hold on!" Ulrich said.
"What do you think I was doing, having a tea party?" Odd shouted back sarcastically. Suddenly there was another noise, "No, no, don't! The platform's over- oof!" Odd's warning was to late, Zack fell and just barley managed to grab Ulrich's foot.
"What the crap?" He asked.
"Man, you guys are getting heavy, Ulrich, drop your saber!" Odd shouted down to him, his claws were starting to lose their grip.
"Ha, ha, nice try, just don't let go!" Ulrich shouted back.
"I just hope that Aero-" Odd was cut off as Aero stepped into the tower, and onto the platform.
"You guys need any help?" Aero asked.
"Yes!"
"Yeah!"
"Of course!" Odd, Ulrich, and Zack all said in unison.
"Alright, I'll help you up," Aero went to help pull them up, when Odd's claws suddenly gave way, "Oh, crap!" Aero quickly grabbed Odd's arm, and was pulled down with them, "Gah!" Was all he could say as the four of them fell down into the abyss below.
"Ah! Let go!" Jeremy shouted as one of the cables wrapped itself around his ankle, then two more quickly wrapped around him, attempting to constrict him, 'déjà vu' He thought as the cables tightened their grip. He winced in pain as he tried to breathe, "Sissi, help!" He choked out. Sissi just stood there, frozen in fear.
Odd, Ulrich, Zack, and Aero tumbled out of a tower, "Uhh, where did the forest go? All I see is ice," Odd noted.
"And why is it upside-down?" Zack asked.
"The sector's not upside-down idiot," Aero pulled Zack up, "You are."
"Oh, right," Zack said as he got up. They looked around and saw ice all around them.
"Looks like we're in the Ice Sector, the other sectors are the Forest Sector, the Desert Sector, and the Mountain Sector," Aero explained. Suddenly three of what looked liked squares with legs came out from behind the tower and two blocks of ice.
"What the heck? What are these things?" Ulrich said as he drew his sword. Odd quickly aimed his arm up as Zack pulled out a shuriken and Aero took out the machete.
"Well, they're blocks… with legs…" Aero stated.
"Thank you Captain Obvious," Ulrich said. Suddenly one of the blocks fired at them from the strange eye shape in its center. It caught Odd by surprise and hit him in the leg.
Back on earth, Odd's profile card blinked and his Life Point count went from 50 to 30. Jeremy tried again to get the cables to let go, to no avail. He tried to say something, but the cables acted like snakes and tightened the second he exhaled. This was not looking good.
Ulrich jumped up and landed right on top of one of the Bloks, and started slicing at the top of its head. It had no effect and he jumped off, "How do you kill these things?" He asked.
"I have no idea, stars!" Zack said as he threw the three shuriken at one of the Bloks, two missed, but the third made contact at the edge of the lighter colored part of the Blok. A light came out of the wound for a second and the Blok stumbled back, then the light went out and the Blok turned its head around on its legs. The eye symbol started to glow orange instead of the usual red that came before firing the laser, and a ring of fire shot out, soon followed by two more.
"What the hell?" Aero wondered aloud. Zack reacted quickly, jumping through the first ring, but the second one hit him in the legs causing him to trip and bash headfirst into the final ring.
Zack's profile flashed on the computer screen, first it went from 100 to 70, then it showed a head injury and went straight from 70 to 0.
Back on Lyoko Zack had suddenly started dissipating into a bunch of blue squares, leaving a blue wire frame behind, "What the? What's goin-" Zack was cut off as his mouth disappeared, followed by the rest of him.
"Where's he go?" Ulrich asked, blocking a shot from a Blok with his sword.
"He got devirtualized because he ran out of life points, head shots probably do more damage then normal shots," Aero explained as he quickly drew his short sword as well. He tapped his voice reading necklace, "Come on, do something! Umm… Let's see… Super Speed? Extreme Speed? Extrasensory?" With that last one the green in Aero's eyes disappeared, leaving only his pupils, and was suddenly replaced by orange, "Whoa! What the hell?" Instead of what he normally saw, he could suddenly see the inner workings of Odd, Ulrich, and the Bloks. He could see their blood flow and even how their muscles moved. For the Bloks he could see very basic inner workings, just a solid block shape, with four of the strange symbols that were on the outside of them in their proper place. He also saw something else, "Guys, the symbols, they're the only parts that aren't shielded, aim for them!" He shouted as he loaded an arrow, it was strangely difficult for some reason, then he noticed something, 'I can't see my bow or arrows!' He quickly realized why, 'I can only see living things wile this is on, I get it now. Now I just need to figure out how to turn it off…' He stopped for a second.
"Aero, what are you doing? Help us fight!" Ulrich said as he ran toward a Blok and stabbed it straight into the center of the symbol just as the Blok fired off a single ring of fire, hitting Ulrich right in the chest. He stumbled back as the Blok exploded.
"Any idea how many life points we have left?" Odd asked Ulrich.
"Nope," Ulrich stated. Suddenly, a laser came out and hit Odd right in the head, devirtualizing him.
"Crap! That's not good! I've gotta' turn this off… wait, Extrasensory!" Suddenly the orange disappeared from his eyes and was replaced by the normal green, "There we go!" He exclaimed. He turned to Ulrich, "You've got about 40-" Suddenly another laser nailed Ulrich in the arm, "Make that 20 life points left," Aero told him.
"Thanks, now I just have to- gah!" Suddenly one of the Bloks fired a blue laser that froze Ulrich in his place. The ice suddenly shattered and Ulrich's last 20 life points were destroyed along with it. He devirtualized on the spot, leaving Aero alone with the final two Bloks.
"Damn it! I need to think!" Aero closed his eyes and thought as two more lasers hit him, draining 70 life points in a second, "Ow! It's times like this I wish I wish real life had a 'pause' or 'slow-mo' but… ton…" His voice trailed off as he realized everything around him had slowed down. "What… the… hell?" He looked around and just barley avoided a laser he hadn't noticed, "Sweet!"
Ulrich and Odd's eyes opened wide when they saw the scene that awaited them in the computer lab. Dozens of cables had come out of the ground and were constricting and electrocuting Jeremy at the same time. Sissi was backed into the elevator with Kiwi cowering next to her. Zack was standing net to the ladder they had finished climbing.
"Holy crap…" Zack mumbled as he watched, apparently unable to move. Odd and Ulrich quickly pulled themselves up the last few rungs of the ladder and stepped onto the ground.
"This is not good, we have to help them!" Ulrich ran over and grabbed a piece of metal.
Zack shook his head, "Right!" He saw a cable sparking with electricity heading straight for Sissi, "No!" He quickly jumped at the cable and moved in between it and Sissi. It hit him dead on and he felt an un-measurable amount of volts surge through him before the cable pulled back and he crumpled to the floor, barley conscious. "Ugh… that hurt…" he mumbled before passing out.
Ulrich took the piece of metal he was holding and tried slicing the largest cable with it, and got a powerful electric shock in response, 'Agh! Right, metal conducts electricity!' Ulrich thought before he dropped the sheet of metal and stumbled back. The cable he tried to cut quickly wrapped around him and started shocking him, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!" He shouted in pain.
Back on Lyoko Aero was walking around, studying the now slow moving Bloks, "Hmm… There is a red charge before a normal laser, a blue one before a freeze laser, and a orange one before a-" A ring of fire hitting him from behind cut him off, "Triple fire ring shot," Aero got in before he was devirtualized.
Aero quickly climbed the ladder; he had heard some very loud shouts and crashes from the computer lab, 'Well that can't be good…' He thought as he climbed up the last rung, 'Damn, I was right' Aero thought as he saw the scene in front of him. Jeremy and Ulrich were both wrapped by cables and being electrocuted, Zack was unconscious in the elevator next to a very scared Sissi and cowering Kiwi. He couldn't see Odd, but he could hear the sound of metal scraping against metal, 'What the hell is that?' He wondered.
Odd picked up the sheet of metal Ulrich had been carrying; it scraped against the metal floor as he picked it up. He walked over to the cable Ulrich had slightly severed and swung the sheet of metal at it. It didn't slice all the way through, but it was enough to stop the cables from attacking, "It works the second time," Odd shouted to Ulrich, who was still suspended in the air by the cable, but no longer being electrocuted.
Zack opened his eyes slowly, he was lying in a bed, 'Where am I?' He thought. He soon realized his answer when he looked around and recognized the infirmary. Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, Aero, and Sissi were all standing around his bed.
"Finally, you have a nice nap?" Aero said sarcastically.
"Ha, ha, funny," Zack said and rubbed his head. It hurt, a lot, "Oh, man, my head stings," He complained.
"Looks like you need a little more sleep, you got shocked pretty bad," Jeremy explained.
"Yeah, probably. How long was I out?" Zack questioned.
"About 6 hours," Ulrich said.
"Wait, guys, doesn't that mean that class is going to start-" The bell cut Aero off, "Now. Ok, this is not good! I gotta' get to class, now!" Aero shouted as he ran out and ran out the door, quickly followed by Ulrich.
"Yeah, we should get to class too. Ms. Hertz is going to kill you if you're late again," Jeremy said to Odd, and then they both took off for class, leaving just Zack and Sissi.
"Thanks for taking that shock for me, you're my hero!" Sissi announced, then quickly gave him a small kiss on the lips, "Thanks again!" Sissi called back as she ran out the door, probably heading for her next class.
Zack just lay there, stunned, "Wow…" He probably would have fainted if he weren't already half-unconscious, 'Definitely worth the shock' Zack thought moments before passing out.
Aero's Note: And there's chapter four, sorry about the delay, I got really distracted by a bunch of stuff. Mainly video games, but also because I kept forgetting to watch the episode so I knew what happened next. Sorry about taking so long. There won't be an ending note from Blockhed because he went to sleep about an hour ago. So, please review! Please! I will die without reviews! Do you hear me, DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
