Chapter 6
Gwen tossed and turned in her sleep. She dreamt she was once again falling into the Digital Sea, her life flashing in front of her eyes as she fell, wishing that she could apologize for the things she did that she regretted. She woke up in cold sweat. Looking at the digital clock, she scowled.
6:30 a.m.
"Great, one of the only days I get to sleep in and I can't." She muttered as she tossed her covers onto the floor.
She stretched herself, silently thanking Aelita for showing her where the camera was in her room so she could cover it up. Doesn't Chris knowing the meaning of the word privacy? She sighed as she thought back to her dream. When she fell off her board she honestly thought she was going to die.
Sure there were times when she thought Chris was going to get her killed during the show but her fall towards the sea was perhaps the closest time she had ever come to actually dying. Remembering her mom, her brother, her friends, her times with everyone on the show, wishing to apologize for the things she had done wrong. She remembered how Aelita warned them how dangerous it would be. Well, after what nearly happened with Geoff and the others, fighting that materialized Tarantula, and almost falling into the void she now understood just how dangerous it was.
Gwen had met some pretty mean people in her life. There was Heather, the stuck up Queen Bee whose snobbery, manipulative plans, and strategies had led to everyone disliking her especially those who trusted her. Courtney was extremely selfish, ruthless, and aggressive which combined with her bossiness made her almost everyone's enemy. Alejandro manipulated most of the female contestants along with her friends LeShawna and Bridgette to get his way.
Chris openly takes pleasure in seeing the cast suffer through his challenges and was heavily self-absorbed. Of course none of these guys even came close to her newest enemy.
XANA.
One difference was that the others were human while he was not. Another was that the others hadn't really attempted to kill anyone. Well, Courtney did try to kill her but that was because Duncan kissed her. Another difference was that they didn't want to destroy mankind.
The mad AI out to dominate the world nearly killed Geoff, Trent, Beth, Eva, Katie, Sadie, and Justin and perhaps hundreds of others on the first day when he sent out his message, then there was that monster that had chased Aelita through the park, and just yesterday when he possessed the entire cast and tried to kill them and destroy the supercomputer. The others were nothing compared to him. Even Chris had more regard for human life. Now she was on his hit list.
But she remembered her fights on Lyoko, remembered the adrenaline rush that came with fighting those monsters, danger came with excitement she had never before experienced. She walked into her bathroom to freshen up. Throwing on her day clothes she walked out of her room to get something to eat.
"Couldn't sleep?" asked a voice.
She spun around and saw DJ sitting at a table with a bowel of cereal and a glass of milk.
"I blame Chris. Ever since I signed onto this stupid show I am so used to waking up early." Said Gwen as she walked to the counter.
"Yeah, somehow I don't think that's what's going on." Said DJ.
Gwen sighed as she sat at the table.
"I had dreams about that fall. Remember our trip?"
"How could I not? That was intense."
Suspecting Chris had left the cameras on the group had practiced on how to talk about Lyoko without revealing anything. DJ knew Gwen well enough to know that was thinking about the attack yesterday.
"You had Geoff to save you. If I wasn't so lucky I would be dead. When I was falling my entire life flashed before my eyes. My mom, my brother, all of my friends, the things I wouldn't have been able to do, the things I regret, all of them just popped into my mind."
"Man that must have been tough. Even after all that's happened to us on this show I don't think anyone was that close to dying." DJ took a sip of his milk.
"I know. What happened if I was not so lucky? Would I have felt anything? Would I have just fallen asleep? All these questions just popped up in my head."
"I had those too. I thought of what they would tell my momma. I couldn't bear imagining the broken look on her face if they told her I was gone."
Gwen sighed.
"Did we have any idea what we were getting into when we said yes?"
"Hey, people could have been hurt. We had to. No one else would have done it in time."
"I guess you're right. But what happens if one of us is voted off in the next challenge? How can we do anything when we're sent back to Canada?"
DJ shrugged.
"We'll just have to try hard to make it through."
Xxx
LeShawna was in the room Chris had designated to be an exercise room, lifting weights with Geoff spotting for her.
"That time thingy was useful; if we didn't use it my arm would have fallen off where that weird spider thing got me." LeShawna said.
"Yeah, man that thing was big." Geoff said.
Bridgette was running on the treadmill next to them. "So...any calls from Aelita?"
"Nope, guess things calmed down for her." Geoff shrugged.
"No offense but I'm actually dreading when she calls, whenever she does, weird crap happens." LeShawna said, setting the weight down.
"I don't blame you, but we agreed to help her if anything goes wrong." Geoff said.
"Yeah, and with her friends...occupied, what do you think could happen if she...loses?" Bridgette asked.
"I don't even want to think about that." They looked up as DJ came in.
"Is Gwen taking this any better than us?" Bridgette asked.
"Well, she honestly thought she wasn't going to make it after that fall, and after what Aelita said would happen I don't blame her." DJ shuddered. "I don't see why they call it a sea. That was anything but a nice, comfy, calm sea."
Geoff looked around for a second. "Ok, that's it, I vote we get the hell out of here, Chris definitely put something in here, I just know it."
Xxx
In the control room, Chris snapped his fingers and gave Carlos 50 Euros. "Damn it."
"Told you they'd figure it out." The Brit grinned.
"Shut up." Chris crossed his arms and pouted.
Xxx
LeShawna was sitting in the lounge, slowly drinking from a bottle of pop. She took a deep breath and set her glass down. 'Ok girl, just get through the day.'
"Hey LeShawna." Darth Alejandro wheeled over. "Uh...have you seen where my wallet went?" He wasn't able to look down and see his wallet was taped to the front of the Total Drama Bot.
"Uh...here." She untapped it.
"Thanks!" He managed to take it in one claw. "Just got done talking with some doctor Carlos recommended me to, I should be able to get out of this bot in three months and look...reasonably presentable."
"You'd still be a squid." She rolled her eyes.
"I said I was sorry!" Alejandro cried.
LeShawna scoffed. "We'll see how sorry you are when you're out of that bot."
"LeShawna, I'm a very strong believer in Karma after watching the Total Drama seasons a few times. I noticed a pattern." Alejandro said. "If I'm bad after I get out, I'll end up worse a month later."
"Yeah...you're going for revenge on that daddy's girl aren't you?" LeShawna asked.
"...Maybe." He looked down. "Hey, if she got you scorched with lava you'd be mad too. I mean, can you imagine what my family thought of me when I came back as a robot? Jose rubbed it in my face! The only upside is that he broke a knuckle trying to hit me in the arm."
"Yeah, good for you, Al." LeShawna smirked.
Shaking his head, Alejandro wheeled away.
LeShawna leaned back. 'Maybe this won't be so hard after all.'
Xxx
Gwen was sitting by the window sketching the city outside. It was beautiful with the sun rising into the sky this early in the morning.
"Hey, Gwen."
She turned and saw Trent walking into the living area.
"Trent, what are you doing up so early?"
Trent shrugged.
"Couldn't sleep in. What about you?"
"Same thing."
Of course the reason why Gwen couldn't sleep was most likely very different from Trent's. They were both silent until Trent spoke up.
"So . . . How are things with Duncan?"
Of all the questions he could have asked he had to pick the most awkward one.
"Good. They are good." Gwen answered.
"Oh, good." Trent chuckled nervously.
"And you're okay with it?" asked Gwen.
"Yeah, I'm fine with it." Trent said with smile.
However Gwen was a bit suspicious when he smiled like that. After his behaviour in Total Drama Action how could he be nonchalant about it?
"Why do I find that hard to believe?" asked Gwen looking out the window.
"What do you mean?" Trent asked her with a puzzled look.
"How can you say you are okay with us when you acted all crazy and jealous of us when I was your girlfriend?" Gwen said in a quite but hard tone.
She turned and looked at him again. He saw a small tear fall from her left eye.
"How can you say that when you wouldn't trust me every time I hung out with Duncan? Every time you saw us talking you acted like I was cheating right in front of you. Why?" Gwen's tone turned from hard to sad as she looked down.
Trent had a guilty look on his face as he watched Gwen look down with a sad look on her face. He thought Gwen might have gotten over it but she was still feeling guilty for what he had done. He blamed Duncan and being on different teams but the truth was none of them were to blame but himself. He let himself be driven by jealousy and paranoia.
He reached to Gwen and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Gwen. I messed up and worst of all you ended paying for it. I saw you and Duncan hanging out together, laughing over some joke and I acted crazy. My dad was right, I over react like he does. And everyone turned against you when I made them sorry for me with my crying and singing."
Gwen looked up.
"So you're not upset with me?"
"I admit that I don't trust Duncan. I mean what if he does the same to you that he did to Courtney? But I do trust you." Trent said smiling.
Gwen smiled back and hugged him. She was glad that they could patch things up. She was afraid he would hate her for what happened. For a moment she allowed herself to forget about the show, forget about the three million dollars, forget about Chris, Chef, Heather, Courtney, Sierra, Duncan, her new responsibility to help Aelita protect the world from XANA. Just one moment of peace.
"So we're okay?" asked Trent.
"I think so. Just as long as I say I am sorry for having your team vote you off." Said Gwen.
Trent smiled.
"It's okay."
Gwen got up.
"I need to go talk LeShawna about something. See ya."
"Yeah, see ya." Trent waved her.
She waved back as she walked out of the room. She smiled happily knowing that she managed to sort things out with Trent.

At Kadic School, Aelita was having to deal with the one thing she didn't need right now: School Work.
So far she hadn't been bothered too much since the disappearance of her friends, but she could hear whispers from time to time. And Hiroki had called last night wondering if Aelita had seen Yumi. The boy had sounded upset; that was understandable considering his sister had vanished off of the face of the planet without a single word. Despite how he and Yumi did not get along too much she was still his sister.
One surprise that came to Aelita was an event she thought she would never see: Elizabeth 'Sissy' Delmas asking about Ulrich and the others not in a demanding tone, but out of sincere concern and curiosity. She had asked Aelita about it in the cafeteria earlier, but hadn't pushed the topic after Aelita said she had no idea where they were.
She knew it might be a matter of time before the questions came more and more often, she needed to get the others back and quickly.
Just as she finished her history homework-which was focusing on Babylon for the first few weeks the laptop began to beep again. Kiwi began to yip as he raced around in a circle.
'Another tower!' Aelita quieted Kiwi with some treats and grabbed her cell phone.
Xxx
It had gone off without a hitch. All XANA had needed was to wait for the satellites to be in perfect position so he could manifest a single monster several miles out away from the coast of France using the same program as before, but required much more energy for this monster: A Terror Bird. It appeared over a fishing boat, startling the small crew.
"Uh..." A man pointed up. "B-b-big b-b-b-b-bird!"
They watched in shock as the Carrier began its flight towards France.
Its target: the Factory and the Super Computer.
Xxx
Geoff answered his cell phone. "Hello?"
"Geoff! Get the others; XANA has activated a tower in the forest region!" Aelita shouted.
"Uh oh." He looked to the others. "Guys, we got a problem involving you-know-who and you know where! Let's go!"
The five young adults left the studio and went to the man hole in the park where they took the sewer tunnel to the factory. They climbed up onto the grass near the factory and came in on the second floor. Geoff let out a shout and grabbed a cable, swinging down to the floor. "WOO HOO!"
"Uh...I'll just take the stairs." DJ and Gwen took the stairs.
"Three seasons of Total Drama and this is nothing!" Bridgette shouted before she landed next to Geoff.
"Yee haw!" LeShawna landed next to them and they all went into the elevator.
As they came into the control room, LeShawna asked the pink haired girl sitting at the computer. "Alright Aelita, what's going on now?"
"Take a look at this news report." Aelita typed in a command and had the image appear in place of the digital map.
"We interrupt your program to bring this live feed of what appears to be a gigantic winged creature flying over the countryside south of France. The creature is almost as big as a passenger air craft and is moving at high speeds." The News anchor said. "We go now to Robert Carter, flying near the creature."
"Thanks Tom! The creature is so far ignoring us as we follow it!" Robert said as his cameraman gave a view of the Carrier ahead of them. "Wait, it is making a turn north now!"
The Terror Bird pulled a turn that would have torn an air plane in half of made it lose control.
"Tom, the creature has changed course for Paris!" Robert shouted.
"Thank you Robert, let's head to our friends over in Paris for more information." Tom said. "Jean?"
"Thank you Tom! This is Jean Abel in Paris, live! The government has declared a state of emergency, though they have advised that citizens do not panic. The creature, though large in size and unknown does not appear hostile and this may be a random movement." Jean said.
"Hey, haven't we seen that bird before?" DJ asked, pointing at the image.
"Wait, now I remember, it's the Terror Bird!" Bridgette shouted.
"Yes, I believe it is heading here to destroy the Super Computer." Aelita said.
"How did XANA make one of those?" LeShawna whistled. "Damn that is big!"
"I scanned the area where the bird appeared. There was a large electromagnetic field where it appeared coming from several satellites aligned in orbit. I think he used them to call the Terror Bird, giving the Translation Program to summon the creature. The Satellites had more than enough energy to make this; it was needed due to the sheer size of it."
"Alright, let's head into Lyoko and kick some ass again!"Geoff said.
"Careful, if that creature makes it into Paris and destroys the lab while we're in Lyoko, we're goners, plain and simple. And if we die in there, we stay dead even if we could somehow return to the past." Aelita returned the digital map to its position. "This time the tower is in the forest region. LeShawna, Gwen, DJ, you go first."
"You got it!" The three took the elevator down to the scanners and stepped inside one each.
"Transfer DJ, Scanner DJ, Virtualization!"
"Transfer Gwen, Scanner Gwen, Virtualization!"
"Transfer LeShawna, Scanner LeShawna, Virtualization!"
Xxx
The trio landed on their feet in the forest region.
"Nice, this looks a lot nicer." DJ looked around.
The Forest Region had been changed since the days where Aelita and her friends went into it. It had much more ground now, and had shorter trees and objects to step on. It looked much more like a real forest, even having some rivers and more lakes in it that were not of the Digital Sea, but there were still plenty of places to fall into the Digital Sea from.
"Calm, quiet, peaceful...too good to be true." Gwen took out her scythe.
"I'm coming in next with Geoff." Aelita said. "Bridgette is going to stay out here to bring our vehicles out. We can't fly as much in this region so watch out."
"We got it." DJ nodded.
A minute later Geoff and Aelita landed next to them.
"Ok guys, I'm bringing in your vehicles." Bridgette said.
The Over bike 2, the Over Sled, the Over Jet, the Over Board, and the Over Wing appeared.
Hopping on the Over Bike, Geoff laughed. "I never get tired of this!"
LeShawna hopped on the Over Sled and twirled her hammer in one hand.
Taking the Over Jet, DJ tested the controls for a second. "I'm good to go!"
"As much as I like the board, is it impossible to add my own colour scheme to it?" Gwen asked as she stepped onto the Overboard.
"Sorry, when Jeremy and I designed it we had Odd's preferences in mind." Aelita said, taking the Over Wing.
"No offense to him, but he likes purple cats way too much." Gwen chuckled.
"We said the same thing many times, but he insisted he didn't dream of being a purple cat." Aelita shrugged before they took off.
"Bridgette, I set up a system to track the carrier based on distance and speed, it should tell you how long it will take to reach the factory for effective destruction." Aelita said.
"Ok...seventeen minutes!" Bridgette shouted. "The tower's north of you, hurry!"
"I wonder how the others will take seeing a giant bird overhead." DJ said.
Xxx
"Oh. My. God." Courtney dropped her drink as she and Heather and Sierra and Cody looked up at the sky above them.
The bird was already in sight, a small but recognizable shape and getting closer with every second.
"Let's get inside!" Sierra cried, wheeling herself in with help from Cody.
The entire cast and crew were gathered in the lounge.
"Ok everybody, remain calm!" Chris called. "Seeing as the contract states I am legally responsible for all of you...let's get out of here!" Carlos hit Chris on the back of the head.
"Ok, just remain calm and if you feel the need to do so, head down to the emergency cellar." Carlos said.
"We have an emergency cellar?" Duncan asked.
"I heard Chris was put in charge." Carlos replied.
"Oh."
"Wait; can someone explain why we're missing a few people?" Chef asked.
"We checked but Gwen isn't in her room." Courtney said.
"Geoff, DJ, LeShawna and Bridgette are gone also." Trent said.
"Don't worry they probably went out for a while and they'll be back, until then we sit tight and wait for more news." Carlos said.
Cody scratched the back of his head. He took out his phone and dialled Gwen's number, but got no signal. "No signal?"
He tried DJ's, then Geoff's, then LeShawna's. "Maybe we should look for them; I'm not getting a signal from their-wait." He managed to successfully dial Bridgette's.
She picked up. "Hello?"
"Bridge, where are you guys?" Cody asked.
"Cody, how is everybody doing?" Bridgette asked.
"Forget us, where are you and DJ and Geoff and Gwen and LeShawna?" Cody asked.
"Uh...we went out into town, it's a little hectic out here so we'll be a while getting back." Bridgette said.
"Do you even notice the giant bird flying towards us?" Cody asked.
"Believe me, we know." Bridgette replied. "We're safe, let's leave it at that."
Xxx
"WATCH OUT!" Geoff dodged laser blasts. "TARANTULAS!"
"Those aren't Tarantulas!" Aelita shouted.
Up ahead were two black versions of the Tarantula while the Eye was now colored silver.
"They look exactly like them, minus the new paint job." DJ said.
"There is more to it than that; you can't expect them to be the same just because colour is slightly different." Aelita said.
"Well let's get rid of them before they do anything else." LeShawna shot ahead. "YEE HAW!" She leaped off her vehicle and swung her hammer down...but a barrier flashed to life around the monster and sent her flying back. "What the-?"
"They have shields!" Aelita stated stopping her vehicle.
Red glowing force fields surrounded the Dark Tarantulas which protected them from even LeShawna's hammer. LeShawna was just getting back to her feet when the two monsters aimed their guns and fired. She staggered as she was hit before she could pick her hammer back up and defend herself.
"LeShawna!" Gwen shouted as the two monsters fired until she was devirtualized.
Xxx
The scanner LeShawna opened up releasing her. Slightly exhausted from the side effects of being devirtualized like that she slammed her fist into the floor frustrated at letting her guard down.
Xxx
"Energy Field!" Aelita shouted throwing a pink orb of energy at one of the monsters.
The orb harmlessly dissipated against the monster's shield.
"Let me try!" said Geoff.
He held up his axe and it glowed as he swung it, releasing the same energy wave that defeated the Scorpion in the last battle. However not even it was able to breach the barrier.
"Aw man!" Geoff complained as the monsters fired at him.
He jumped off the Overbike as it was destroyed by the laser fire. DJ held up his hands and created a barrier to block incoming lasers.
"So now what?"
"We have to find a way around them. Bridgette, how much time have we got?" asked Gwen.
"You got about thirteen minutes." Bridgette said looking at the computer.
The elevator opened to reveal LeShawna stumbling out.
"LeShawna, are you okay?"
"I'm fine girl. Those monsters took me by surprise." LeShawna replied walking to the computer.
"I should be in there, helping them. LeShawna can you take over and send me in there?"
"Leave it to me, baby. Take out those spider-freaks."
Xxx
Gwen watched as DJ continued to hold up his barrier to deflect the incoming lasers. She threw scythe, it spun through the air towards the monsters. But like all the other attacks it bounced off their shields, but luckily it flew back into her hands.
"This is no good! We can't break through those shields!" she shouted.
"We have to try!" Geoff called back.
"I have an idea. Just hold them for a few minutes." Aelita said.
She sat down on the ground in a meditative pose as she concentrated to use her power. XANA will remember that he was not the only who controlled Lyoko. They heard a soft melodic voice singing that sounded much like Aelita but she did not open her mouth. The ground beneath the shielded Tarantulas began to crack open and vanish.
With no ground beneath them the Tarantulas fell into the void. Two pillars of light erupted from the sea. And then it was quiet.
"Wow. What was that?" asked Geoff.
"My power. I can change the environment of Lyoko around me, just as you saw I altered the landscape so that the monsters would have nothing to stand on." Aelita replied standing up.
"Awesome." Geoff said smiling.
"It is but it cost me life points." Aelita replied.
"That sucks." Said Gwen.
"Hey, guys, I'm taking over for Bridgette and she's on her way. Oh, and the timer says that the big bird will be here in seven minutes." Said LeShawna.
A second later Bridgette landed in the forest sector.
"Welcome to the party, Bridge." Geoff called waving.
"Thanks, Geoff." Bridgette said as she ran over to the group. "We better hurry, that bird is getting close."
"I hope we don't run into anymore monsters with those shields." Said DJ hopping back onto the Over Jet.
"Don't count on us being that lucky." Gwen said as she stepped back onto the Over Board.
"Don't mind if I hop on, Bridge?" asked Geoff.
"Not at all, come on."
Bridgette held out her surf board and it began to float in the air. Geoff hopped up behind her and they took off towards the tower.
Xxx
People looked on in fear and awe as the massive creation of XANA almost loomed over the city. The Terror Bird ignored all of them choosing to focus on its mission. The factory containing the only method its master's enemies can use to fight him. Back at the studio the Total Drama cast was looking out the window as the carrier was almost above them as it continued to its destination.
Cody had a very worried look on his face. Gwen and the others still had not come back.
"We need to go out and find them. They've been gone too long."
"You want to go out and look for them, fine." Heather said in her wheel chair.
"Dude, do you not see the big bird out there?" asked Duncan.
"And are you not worried about Gwen? I thought you actually cared for her since she is your girlfriend?" Cody asked glaring.
"She can take care of herself."
Cody really wondered what Gwen saw in this jerk. He pulled out his cell phone and dialled Bridgette again. Only this time he got a no service.
"I lost Bridgette now! All their numbers saying no service!"
"Cody, I'm worried about them too but do you think it's a good idea to go out there with that bird just over us?" asked Trent.
"What if they are hurt?" asked Cody.
"There's nothing we can do. Everyone is being urged to stay indoors until they can find a way to deal with that creature. If your friends are smart they are probably somewhere safe." Carlos said.
Xxx
"I knew it would be too good to be true!" shouted Gwen as they dodged more lasers.
They had made it to the tower but it was guarded by six shielded Dark Tarantulas. Their shields were up and they were firing at the group. DJ held his barrier up to stop the incoming shots but it was a standoff. For now.
"I can't hold this up much longer." DJ said as he tried to keep the barrier up.
"Aelita, can't you use your creativity again?" asked Bridgette.
"They are too far spread out. I could only take them out one at a time and the longer I did the more life points I would lose." Said Aelita.
"We have to find a way!" Bridgette said.
She and Gwen were deflecting lasers shots back into the shields. Suddenly one of the Dark Tarantula's barriers vanished.
"What the . . ." asked Geoff.
"Energy field!" Aelita shouted.
Taking advantage of the shield's drop Aelita fired an Energy Field that hit the Tarantula in the face, destroying it.
"Why did that monster's shields go down?" asked Gwen.
"It's possible it dropped from the number of lasers that were deflected back into the shield. That means that they can hold for only a bit under a prolonged assault like DJ's barrier." Said Aelita taking cover behind a tree.
"So we need to reflect their lasers back into their shields." Gwen said.
"It seems to be only way." Said Aelita.
"All, right, DJ cover Aelita as soon as we get a path cleared. Bridgette, Geoff, with me, we're going to create a diversion." Said Gwen.
"Got it!"
They ran out catching the monsters' attention. Gwen twirled her scythe in her hand and the weapon glowed creating a barrier. The monsters aimed and fired at her. The barrier deflected incoming shots back into their shields. After a few seconds of endless lasers being deflected back their shields began to drop.
"Now!" Gwen shouted.
Bridgette flew in on her surfboard with Geoff jumping throwing his chakrams. They hit two Tarantulas, slicing into their XANA eyes, destroying them instantly. The chakrams flew back into Geoff's hand and they combined into his axe. He blocked incoming laser shots as Bridgette flew in, her surf board split into her two swords. Letting out a battle cry she fell from above with her swords raised above her head not knowing that the wave shaped tattoos on her were glowing.
Suddenly her sword glowed light blue as they swung down releasing an energy wave resembling waves seen in the ocean that sliced through another non shielded Tarantula. The glowing faded but the tattoos that went up from Bridgette's arms to her neck had change. There no longer any tattoos on her neck.
"Awesome!" shouted Geoff as Bridgette landed on her feet.
"Thanks. Geoff look out!" Bridgette shouted.
Geoff turned only to be hit in the chest by a couple of lasers from one of the remaining monsters. These hits dropped his life points to zero. His avatar disappeared into data as he fell back.
"Big mistake!" shouted Bridgette.
Her tattoos glowed again and she released another energy wave that took out the attacking monster while the same time her wave shaped tattoos shortened in length again. Gwen flew in blocking more lasers; the lasers flew back into the monsters, hitting them in the faces forcing them back. She threw her scythe and it sliced through a Tarantula's neck before flying back into the hands of its owner. There was only one monster left and DJ and Aelita took advantage of that.
They ran out of their cover and headed towards the tower as fast as they could.
Xxx
"Awesome, work y'all! That'll show them bugs they can't hide behind no shields!" cheered LeShawna.
Suddenly the lab shook. LeShawna looked at the screen.
"Uh . . . Aelita, hey to pressure you girl but the bird is just about above us."
Xxx
Aelita entered the tower. Stepping into the center of the XANA symbol she prepared to ascend to the upper platform.
Xxx
The Terror Bird was now right above the factory.
Xxx
Aelita gracefully landed on the upper platform.
Xxx
The Terror Bird landed on top of the factory and prepared to tear it apart.
Xxx
The screen appeared and Aelita placed her hand on it.
Xxx
The ceiling in the lobby was torn open and the Terror Bird looked inside.
Xxx
Aelita
Xxx
The Terror Bird prepared to fire a shot that would destroy the lad no matter how deep it was under the concrete.
Xxx
Code: Lyoko
Xxx
Suddenly the monster was frozen in time before it dissipated into the air. The activated tower's aura changed from red to white. The screen surrounding Aelita fell to the darkness below.
"Tower deactivated."
"Return to the Past now, baby." LeShawna said, smiling while inputting the commands.
The world was consumed by the white sphere of light as time went back to before the attack.
Xxx
Gwen sighed as she sat the table like she did right before the attack. A few more attacks like these and she's probably make it through the entire season to the finals easily. She sighed as she finished the last of her breakfast. She walked out of the kitchen to find someplace to think.
"Hey, Gwen!"
She turned and saw the other new Lyoko warriors walking up to her.
"Hey, guys."
"We were thinking that we should go out and see the city. It's too boring being cooped up in here." Said Bridgette.
"Yeah, after what we have been through we deserve to have some fun." Said DJ.
Gwen though it over and shrugged.
"Why not? Anywhere but here."
