Odion steps out into the empty lab but notices someone coming in, he looks as disgruntled as ever but when Max peeks in, he sees no one. He leaves, and Odion lowers himself from the ceiling.

Odion made his way out silently and followed Max as he thought "Easy like taking candy from a baby..." As soon as he passes Dairou's bedroom, Odion slips in without a single soul seeing him.

"Who are you?" Odion turns to see Dairou sitting on his bed watching him like a hawk as he chuckles "I was hoping to catch you while you were asleep" Dairou growls "Try...again, I don't sleep in the daytime. Can't."

Odion groans "I know you held back in the virtual world and I want a rematch." Dairou looks at him with wide eyes and disbelief "You can't force me to fight you..."

Odion closed his eyes and grinned "But it wasn't you that I want to fight, it's your little friend from before I want first!" Odion looks out the door then leaves running into Cyclops and attacking him, but he somehow dodges and hits him in the chest point-blank with his laser blast knocking him back.

Odion laid there, until Scott walks up to him. He then looks at him "So you must be the X-Man Cyclops." Cyclops readies his optic blast again but Odion flips to his feet surprising him and simply puts his hand in his face as he's about to fire and blew him away as he screamed in pain.

Odion stood over him and got ready to put his sword through his neck but Daiou dashed out of his room screaming as he attacked him from behind "Leave him alone!" Odion turns and stops his sword with two bare fingers and grinned "Is that really the best you got, kid?" Scott's eyes went wide behind his visor as he tries to move away from the man.

"You're not going anywhere until I'm through with you!" Odion stomps and shatters Cyclops' kneecap as he screams out which makes Dairou fight harder "Nooo!" he snarls as he kicks Odion right in his mouth "You talk too much and I'm...not a kid." He looks at Cyclops, he wasn't going anywhere with that badly injured leg then back to his father "What're you doing here?"

"Huh?" Odion looks at him "I told you I want that little warrior you fought me with on Lyoko!" He turns around "Where's the little stinker?" He looks down two hallways on either side of him.

On his left were Wolverine, Jean, Beast, Jubilee, Kitty, Max and Colossus while on his right were Daken, Sabretooth, Nightcrawler, Rogue and the other Lyoko Warriors.

Odion locks eyes on Max with a predatory grin and chases after him, knocking anyone else out of his way. Wolverine felt a strange sensation as Odion passed him as if they'd known each other.

Odion follows him around a corner but he's gone and he growls "That trick again?" He chuckles "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me!" He throws a punch at the wall but stops and flicks at something hearing an "Ouch!" He grabs the invisible figure roughly by its hair as it appeared to be Max who is scared stiff "Lemme go!"

That alone activates the sixth senses of Dairou and Sabretooth who run in and attack him, forcing him to drop the warrior to handle them.

Logan smells blood and follows his nose to Scott and had wide eyes "Damn, that guy is a freaking monster...you alright, slick?"

He looks at Scott's leg as Beast comes to his assistance "Wow" he says in shock making both Logan and Scott glare at him as Logan comments "You really got a way with words sometimes, bub."

"Tell me you can help, Hank" Scott looks at the blue mutant, refusing to look at his injury as Hank nods "Of course I can, in my lab but there's still a chance that you'd never walk on this leg again."

Logan nodded and that made The Wolverine within very angry as he looks at Elyon "Hey, you've got healing powers, right?" Elyon blushes instantly but nods and comes over to Scott "Yes, I'll see what I can do." Scott asks "Is that gonna hurt?" Elyon smiles confidently as she begins "You won't feel a thing or lose your leg if that helps."

Logan growls and runs off popping his claws "Cerulean has some answers fer me and I'll cut that big guy's head off if it's the last thing I do!" He dashes past Sabretooth and the others as Sabretooth growls and follows him "Rogue, Kurt, Gambit, Storm and Colossus come with me, the rest o' ya get the students to safety. Roll out!" Kurt laughs at the last part as Remy looks at him "What's got you so bubbly?"

Kurt shrugs "Victor always sounds like Optimus Prime when he says the last part." Rogue raised an eyebrow "From Transformers?" Logan looks back at the two "Aren't you a little too old for cartoons?" They shrug as Victor chuckles "Transformers, huh? I should watch it sometime."

Colossus looks at him "Oh, you're definitely too old for cartoons, Victor." He grins as Wolverine nods in agreement before they both (Wolverine and Colossus) attack Odion first and he is unfazed as he growls "Greetings, Wolverine. You seem...different from the last time we met."

Logan snarls "Nothing's changed, bub. I still wanna kill ya!" He slashes Odion across the face by mistake, making him madder as he growls in Logan's face "You're no more a hero than I am, runt" He doesn't hold back as he punches Logan in the face and he flies into Sabretooth then he tries to cut Colossus to pieces, he dodges some and beats him back with punches to the face in his metal form but on the last punch, Odion holds his ground and grinned madly as he pushes Piotr off him easily "Where's the blue one?"

"What's yer business with Kurt?" Sabretooth growls as Odion replies "Kurt? Nothing unless he can get us back into the virtual world." He pulls Max close.

"Why the hell do you wanna go back to lyoko and what the hell makes you think I'm going with you?!" Max glares at Odion as he glares back at him "Would you prefer we continue here?" Max shakes his head as Odion snarls "then be quiet."

"He wants Hank to send him back to Lyoko?" Daken says "I'm coming too" Odion shrugs "I don't care how many of you I have to fight, now where's Kurt?"

"I think you mean Hank" Kurt says as Rogue adds "cuz you stunk in Hank's programming class?" Odion glares at the two "Not that this isn't 'fun', but I hate people who stray from the point, you can all come as long as you stay out of my way!"

They meet Hank at the Supercomputer as Odion intervenes "Are you Hank?" Hank answers with a nod "Yes, but-" Odion cuts in "Shut it and sent us in already before you become my next opponent." Hank shakes his head "I won't like that, enter the scanner and get ready."

Odion, Max and Dairou enter the scanners as they're sent to Carthage, followed by Daken, Jacob and Andrew and Koichi takes the controls as Hank joins Wolverine and Rogue to be sent to Lyoko.

Rogue looks like a simple lyoko-styled civilian, believe it or not wearing a dark brown tank top and grey long pants as well as no gloves with her amplified powers as she touched Sabretooth for mere seconds and took his power without hurting him, Kurt looked like a pirate wielding two swords while Daken wears an armless version of Wolverine's brown and tan uniform except for his tattoos and his mask doesn't match Wolverine's as he pops his claws. Beast looks like he was from the future with a robotic arm and detachable robo-backpack while everything else is blue fur as they land in the Arena and admire themselves.

"Cool" Daken smirks as they make their way into the Core Zone as Logan says "Nothing in sight." That's when a xanified version of Wolverine, Daken, Kurt, Jake and Delia appeared with maniacal grins and the Eye-of-XANA in their eyes.

"Spoke a little too soon there, runt" Sabretooth snarled as Logan gave his double a glare that almost made him flinch "Better than nothin', eh, Optimus?" He smirked at Sabretooth as they stayed to fight their XANA-clones and Koichi alerts them "Guys, leave them and go to the Core of Lyoko, XANA's trying to destroy it and that means you'll be trapped there forever if he accomplishes it."

"Don't worry, boy genius, we're on it." Max smirked as the left "We know what to do."

They enter the Core of Lyoko's room to see Odion, who could care less about anything else and attacks Max who was barely able to dodge his surprise attack "Are you mad?!" Odion looks him in the eye with a frown as he replied nonchalantly "Yeah. Stop holding back."

Orion lets Max distance himself as he stared at the others "Get lost, you're in the way." Everyone else knew better than to get on his bad or worse side, since they doubted he had a good side as Beast's robotic arm turns into a cannon and he fires at a Manta above, destroying it and gaining the attention of the other monsters.

Everyone else follows suit and attacks the monsters as Dairou takes a seat and watches his new friend fight his father as Elyon glances at him "Aren't you coming?"

Dairou replies bluntly "No, go without me" She leaves knowing better than to make him any angrier as he thought "Father, what's the meaning of this? You have answers I want yourself and I'm not budging from this spot 'til I get them."

A/N – Screen flashes between Daken's group fighting themselves, Sabretooth's group fighting the monsters to prevent the destruction of Lyoko, Odion vs Max as he is curious of the teen's powers when he goes super-mode and lastly Dairou as he looks on and destroys an incoming Manta without even a glance. Will they accomplish saving Lyoko and give Dairou the answers he seeks or will XANA prevail and trap them all within the Virtual World?
