The Seventh Lyoko Warrior
Part IX: Time Loop: Part II
Yumi woke up back in Lyoko, still confused and angry about what happened. But she was more angry about that this is the second time she tried to tell Michael the truth. It made her impatient, she just wanted to tell him and get it over with.
"It happened again," said Odd, walking towards them. Ulrich walked with him but didn't say anything.
"What's going on Jeremy?" Aelita asked. "Was the data booby trapped?" They could heard Jeremy breathing and clicking on his keyboard.
"No," said Jeremy. "I'm gonna run a scan to make sure that there's no activated tower."
They went inside to make sure that the mantas wouldn't find them. But the more they looked around, they realize that Xana hasn't sent any monsters to attack them. It made them worried, but it made Yumi more worried. She kept thinking about Michael, she just wanted to tell him and not care if the Return to the Past came.
Odd looked around and just kicked a few walls. They haven't heard anything from Jeremy for ten minutes. It started to make them worry if something was wrong. Aelita got really worried because a scan shouldn't take that long.
"Is everything okay?" Ulrich asked. Before they could say anything else, Jeremy spoke.
"Sorry guys," said Jeremy. "The scan's found an activated tower in the Ice Sector. Here are your vehicles."
The gang went outside and found their vehicles waiting for them. Aelita joined Ulrich on the Overbike and they headed out for the tunnel. They made it to the Ice Sector; it was very quiet. Guided by Jeremy's directions, they raced towards the tower. Hoping to defeat whatever monster Xana's got waiting, they race with confidence.
As they reached the tower, a huge wave of red energy expanded out and hit Yumi's Overboard. She flew out of control and fell to the ice. Her Overboard flew off the edge of the platform and exploded. Before she could do anything, a storm of red beams hit her. She devirtualized as she got hit by another red beam.
Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita looked at what they were looking at. They saw two Megatanks, three Tarantulas and William. Before they could do anything. Another storm of red beams flew towards them. They hit Odd's overboard and sent him towards the ground. Aelita jumped of the Overbike and flew towards the enemies. Ulrich flew towards one of the Tarantulas, jumped off his bike and watched it hit the Tarantula. The Tarantula exploded as another went towards Odd.
(At the Factory) Yumi went up to Jeremy and looked at the screen.
"What happened?" Yumi asked in confusion.
"From what my screen is telling me…" said Jeremy. The screen showed a picture of Odd being devirtualized. "Ulrich, Aelita, get outta there!"
The elevator opened and Odd walked towards Jeremy and Yumi.
"Sorry guys," said Odd. "A Megatank got me." Jeremy looked back at his screen and saw what was happening.
(In Lyoko) Ulrich and William were fighting. Aelita was trying to destroy one of the Megatanks but her Energy Fields couldn't reach them. She tried to fly over them but a Tarantula shot a laser and knocked her outta the sky. She landed hard but she couldn't be helped.
Ulrich blocked William's attack but met William's foot. Ulrich flew back and skidded towards the edge of the platform. William walked over and pushed Ulrich's swords of the edge. Ulrich watched them fly and hit the Digital Sea. William slammed the blade into Ulrich's chest and watched Ulrich devirtualized.
"Oh no!" Jeremy shouted. "Aelita, get outta there!"
Aelita turned and ran, unable to beat them; she had to run away. Jeremy brought her back and waited for hr to join them.
"I can't believe this is happening," said Yumi.
"I know, what's Xana doing?" Odd asked. Before anything else could be said, Aelita joined them.
"He's making a stand against us," said Jeremy
"With William and all those monsters," said Aelita. "We can't hope to deactivate the tower." The warriors looked on the screen and were amazed by how many monsters there were.
"What we need is another warrior," said Odd. Ulrich looked away and Jeremy turned his chair to look at the computer screen.
"We can't take that risk," said Jeremy. "And besides, who will it be?" The group was quiet for a minute. But Yumi broke the silence.
"We could bring Michael into the group," said Yumi. Jeremy just kept his attention of the screen. "I'm serious, he could help us."
"She's right," said Odd. "I've what he can do, I think it'd be a good idea."
"Maybe Odd," said Ulrich. "But what if Xana takes control of him like William. We have enough to deal with William, we don't need another." Jeremy started to type.
"Anyway," said Jeremy. "You better be ready, the Return to the Past is about to kick in.
A huge white light erupted from the supercomputer and engulfed them again. They woke back up in Sector 5 and immediately departed for the Ice Sector. When they arrived, William, two Megatanks and three tarantulas were there waiting for them. The Tarantulas opened fir and hit Odd off his board, devitalizing him.
"GeT tHeM!" shouted William.
Yumi threw her fans and took out one of the Tarantulas. But her Overboard started to buckle. She held on to the steering mechanism and was immediately taken for a ride. She spun out of control until she was forced to let go. She flew off and landed in the middle of the platform.
Ulrich rushed to help her but was immediately attack by a Megatank laser. Yumi got up and threw her fan at the Megatank. Luckily, the fan got it as it was closing. The Megatank exploded and the other went after Yumi. The rolled on top of her, immediately devitalizing her.
Aelita flew under the platform, hoping that the Tarantulas don't spot her. Ulrich rushed towards one of the Tarantulas and shoved one of his swords into its head. He managed to block and incoming attack from William. Their swords sparked wildly as the match was even.
"You're not beating me this time William," said Ulrich. "You better let your master know."
William smiled as a Tarantula shot Ulrich in the back. William took that opportunity and threw Ulrich on the ground. He shoved his sword into Ulrich's chest and smiled as Ulrich devirtualized.
Aelita got close enough to the tower but was immediately attacked. A huge Megatank beam hit her as she managed to barely touch the tower. But she fell to the ground and started to devirtualized.
Everyone walked into the computer room and saw Jeremy struggling with the supercomputer. He slammed his hands down, knocking a can of soda off the keyboard. He started to talk to himself, but the gang didn't listen to them.
"Why is this happening?" Jeremy asked himself. The others looked at him like he was disappointed in them.
"We need help," said Odd.
"Please Jeremy," begged Yumi. "We need another Lyoko Warrior or this'll go on forever."
"JUST STOP!" Jeremy shouted. "I don't want to deal with that." The screen started to act up again. "Oh no, not another one!"
Another white light erupted from the supercomputer and engulfed them. They rushed towards the Ice Sector and fought against them again. But they only managed to destroy one of the Megatanks and one of the Tarantulas before they all got devirtualized again. They went back again and the same thing happened.
Every time they got back, Jeremy was more frustrated than ever. Yumi and Odd tried to convince Jeremy that they could use Michael, but he wouldn't listen. He just got back to his keyboard and swore under his breath. Another Return to the Past came up and sent them back to Sector 5.
Ulrich ran outside to talk with Aelita but Odd stayed inside. Yumi rushed inside and saw how worried he looked.
"I can't keep doing this," said Odd. "I'm starting to get tired from all this fighting, I'm sorry." Yumi patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"I know," said Yumi. "I'm getting tired too." She looked out at Ulrich and Aelita and saw them chatting. They cut off their communications with Jeremy. "Listen Odd, the first one of us to get devirtualized goes to find Michael. If I know him, he'll be close to my house waiting for me to talk to him. We need him on Lyoko, we can't depend on Jeremy."
"Okay," said Odd. "But if I do, what should I do?"
"Just bring him to Lyoko no matter what," said Yumi. Odd nodded his head.
Yumi and Odd rushed out, got on their vehicles and rushed out of the sector. They made it to the Ice Sector and were immediately ambushed but the Tarantulas. They scattered but Odd was quickly hit by a Tarantula beam and was devirtualized.
Odd rushed out of the factory and ran towards Yumi's house. He could see Michael sitting Indian style on the sidewalk in front of her house. He didn't even notice Odd, he just stared at his lap.
"Hey Michael!" Odd shouted. Michael looked up and gave Odd a small wave. Michael stood up and walked over to Odd.
"Hey Odd," said Michael. He scratched his head and looked around. "Have you seen Yumi anywhere, I need to ask her something?"
"Yeah," said Odd. He looked back for a second. "But we need your help."
"What's up?" Michael asked.
"I can't explain right now," said Odd, grabbing Michael's wrist. "Just come with me."
Odd and Michael rushed towards the factory. They made it to the bridge and ran towards the ropes. They grabbed the ropes and slid down. Odd rushed to the elevator and quickly pushed the button to call it. They were waiting for the elevator to come up. Michael looked around the factory in amazement.
"So this is the place from my dreams," said Michael.
"I'll need your help with Jeremy," said Odd. "Once you're in Lyoko, you'll have all the answers you need." The elevator came up and they went inside. They made their way inside the computer lab and were immediately greet by Yumi. "What happened?"
"William," said Yumi.
"Why'd you bring HIM here?!" Jeremy shouted. Jeremy got out of his chair and walked over to Odd.
"I'm sorry Jeremy," said Odd, looking at Michael. "But I agree with Yumi. We need him or we won't get the tower deactivated."
"If we keep going, we'll just keep getting beat," said Yumi. Jeremy got angry and looked at Yumi.
"NO WAY!" Jeremy shouted. "I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT, I'M NOT SENDING HIM AND THAT'S FINAL!" He threw his fist at Odd.
"MICHAEL!" Yumi shouted.
Jeremy's fist was about to hit Odd in the face, but Michael got in front of him and grabbed his fist. Before Jeremy could do anything else, Michael punched him in the gut. Jeremy's body went limp as Jeremy passed out. Michael gently put him on the ground and looked up at Yumi.
"There's not much time," said Odd. They looked at him and saw him staring at the computer screen.
Yumi rushed Michael into the elevator and went down with him. The door opened and they walked towards the scanners. Michael was memorized by the very sight of the scanners.
"Holy crap!" said Michael. Yumi tapped him on the shoulder and looked at the scanner. "What's going on here, what is this place?"
"I'm sorry Michael," said Yumi. "If I try to explain it to you, it'll be too late." Michael looked at the scanner.
"What do you need me to do?" Michael asked. Yumi escorted Michael over to the scanner.
"You need to go into the scanner," said Yumi. "Ulrich and Aelita need your help." Michael stepped inside the scanner and looked back at Yumi. The scanner closed and started to warm up.
Yumi rushed back into the elevator and ran into the computer lab. Odd got off the chair and Yumi sat on it. She started to type, but realized that Ulrich just got devirtualized. But she just kept on typing.
"Transfer Michael," said Yumi, typing on the computer. "Scanner." The countdown for the Return to the Past came on and Yumi started to panic. "VIRTUALIZATION!" She hit the enter key but the room was quickly engulfed in white light. Knowing that she'd wake back up in Sector 5, she hoped that she was quick enough.
