Chapter 9 A Monster Part 1
The warriors were on the Skid traveling through the digital sea, going back to the Mountain replika,"Okay you're almost there."Jeremy's voice echoed through the Skid.
"I see it Jeremy,"Aelita replied as she placed the key into the entrance.
"Alright who's going this time? "Jeremy asked as the Skid docked.
"Aelita and Yumi should, after all me and Odd went last time. "Ulrich said.
"Okay, Energize and Translation. "Jeremy's voice rang through the Replika.
At the base, Yumi and Aelita materialized in mid air and landed in a crouch position.
"We're here Jeremy,"Yumi said as she stood and looked around, they were in the middle of a hall.
"Good now take the hall to your right, that should lead you to the back up generator."
The two girls nodded as they sprinted down the hall.
On the Replika, Ulrich paced in front of the Skid keeping his guard up. Odd sat on a bolder with his knees pulled to his chest. He stared straight keeping his eyes on the path, looking for any signs of trouble.
Ulrich noticed his friend's behavior, it was strange for Odd to be just sitting there watching, he'd usually he'd be up and about ready for a fight
"Odd, you okay?"
"Hmm, oh yeah just fine. Just thinking that's all." Odd gave a fake grin to his friend.
Ulrich narrowed his eyes, "Okay, so what is it that you're thinking about that's making you so quite?"
"Nothing, just uh wondering if XANA's going to give us a hard game this time around." Again fake smile.
The samurai nodded, 'He's lying, I know he is. Why? What's he hiding?'
"Guys, William and some Hornets are on their way." Jeremy's voice said from the sky.
"Great, my favorite monsters and my least favorite guy. Can you handle William?"
Odd nodded as he stood on the bolder and backflip, landing with cat like grace on all fours. The Hornets flew closer, so Odd sprinted pass the dark blue haired boy, catching his attention. William turned and saw the purple cat teen, he sat on his squatted legs, glaring at the XANA soldier. "Yo William! You just going to stand there or what?!"
Willam's eyes narrowed at the blond and purple teen, he glanced back at Ulrich fighting the Hornets near the Skid, but followed the cat boy, "That's right, follow me..." Odd muttered as the teen clad in black came running towards him.
Odd continued running on all fours when William got closer, he ran and ran, looking for a place where he could console himself and give him a sneak attack. He thought about it till he saw a labyrinth, the look of realization hit him, but his vision started to blur. He staggered as he got closer to the mountain maze, but kept up the distance between him and the Ex-Lyoko warrior. He continued on through the entrance, and around random turns, confusing Willam, but himself as well.
After countless turns, Odd lost him, but ended up in a dead end. But something seemed off...He was out of breath, and was leaning against the wall, arms wrapped around his stomach. He groaned in pain, his body felt like it was on fire, his legs were shaking, but they buckled under the weight causing him to slide down. As he landed he fell to his side with another groan, his vision was doubling, his senses numbing, "W-what's wr-wrong with m-me?" The world around him then went black.
Again I am SO sorry about being , this late, I hope you can forgive me, I'm working on the next chapter right now, but It might take some time but I promise that I will update and finish this story.
