Well I'm already working on another chapter. This is exciting, so now it's time to introduce the new general. Let's see how the Lyoko Warriors will handle him, shall we?
Our Little Virtual Trip to France
Chapter 9:
Havoc: The Dark Arsenal
XANA's POV:
'Let's see?' I think to myself as I watch everything play out on my screens.
I turn to the two screens furthest right. While the same usual bored expression on my face. 'Belpois, Della Robia, Ebers, Sandelski, Schaeffer, Stern and Wong are in their science class with Suzanne Hertz and Dunbar, Ishiyama and Min are having Physical Education with James Morales. That's a fair position, it's better that they're separated rather than be together in the mess hall or after school.'
He turned to another screen which showed the Ice Sector where Sonia was waiting with three tarantulas and the new general.
'Good… Everything is in place.' I smile to myself. 'Now it's time to activate my tower…'
Emily's POV:
As usual Mrs. Hertz is lecturing on about electricity and I hurriedly scribble down the notes on the board next to my half conscious boyfriend.
Mrs. Hertz goes on and on about how an Ammeter measures amps and such. Otherwise another boring day in Mrs. Hertz's class. I feel bad for Marley who has to sit with Digger since the rest of us are coupled up, or whatever it is Ulrich and Odd are.
"Now, your homework will be to draw an electrical current and describe the flow of electricity shown in your drawings, the more complicated the drawings the more points you get. Before you go Ronster, Wong and Dellarobia need to see me after class." Mrs. Hertz announces just before the bell rings.
I turn to Stanford in surprise who just shrugs in response.
The three groan as the rest of us leave. I hope it's nothing bad…
Odd's POV:
"Odd, Stanford and Digger," Mrs. Hertz starts, eyeing us as we all approach her desk. "Do you know what the three of you have in common?"
"We all have supper stylish hair?" I ask jokingly. The other two snigger at my outburst.
"Please…" Mrs. Hertz rolls her eyes. "I've wanted you to change your hair style for years, Odd. And Digger, with hair that red it makes me wonder how my sister could put up with it for all those years."
"Sister?" Stanford asks.
"But of course," Mrs. Hertz says. "I'm Digger's-"
"Suzanne…" Digger shook nervously, "Maybe we should think before we say anything we may regret."
"Nonsense." Mrs. Hertz replies. "I'm Digger's aunt."
I turn to Stanford who looks at me with eyes just as wide as mine.
"You?" Stanford asks in surprise. "You're the teacher that Digger's related to?"
"But of course." Mrs. Hertz rolls her eyes.
"No way." Stanford gasps, the clear disbelief in his voice. "I thought it was Jim or Chardan or Meyer, but you!?"
"You sound so surprised, Mr. Wong?" She raises an eyebrow.
"No mam." Stanford hangs his head down in shame.
Mrs. Hertz clears her throat before returning to the original topic. "As I was saying, you three are the worst students in my class. Odd and Stanford: Your grades in my class are so bad that the student board is threatening for you to take summer school, and Digger: your grades are so bad in every subject that if you don't get your act together then you'll end up in summer school."
All of us let out our bouts of displeasure, towards that. The hulking carrot top behind me is clearly fuming.
"Hold on you three you haven't let me finish!" She shouts. We all quiet down to listen to her. "I am going to allow you three to raise your Physics, Chemistry and Biology grades if you do these three small projects."
"Okay that isn't too hard." Odd shrugs. "I'm sure I can finish my projects on time."
Mrs. Hertz raises an eyebrow as she hands us all the sheets of paper. "What do you mean 'your' project Mr. Della Robia? You three will be working together."
"Wouldn't it be easier if you just gave us a warning and told us to try harder?" Stanford suggests.
"No." Mrs. Hertz bluntly replies. "I believe the three of you have what it takes to be wonderful science students, you just need to apply yourselves and I think that this will be the perfect way to unlock that potential."
"Suzanne, surely there's another way?" Digger asked hopefully.
"No." Mrs. Hertz shakes her head. "You three will be doing this together and for your sakes it better come out well otherwise you know what'll happen."
"And Digger?" She asks, the boy turns towards her in recognition, "Do not call me Suzanne."
Ulrich's POV:
Walking over to math with the others all anyone can talk about is why Mrs. Hertz called Odd, Stanford and Digger to see her.
"What if they got caught in some prank?" Marley suggests.
"Odd and Stanford I could see." Aelita responds. "But with Digger? No way."
"Maybe it's about the pink hair dye that mysteriously got into Jim's shampoo?"
"No…" I answer. "Mrs. Hertz doesn't care much for Jim, besides Mr. Delmas already found out that it was Theo and Max."
Emily shrugs, "Then maybe-"
However we're cut off by the ever familiar beeping coming from Jeremy's computer. He quickly pulls it out of his bag and we see that there's an activated tower.
"Activated tower in the Ice Sector." Jeremy announces.
"Never a dull day with XANA, is there?" Emily asks.
"I'll call Odd." I say pulling out my cell phone.
"I've got Millicent," Marley announces, also pulling out his own mobile phone. "I hope she's with William and Yumi."
"Hey Odd?" I ask my purple haired roommate on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah?" He answers.
"Activated tower," I tell him "XANA's attacking."
"That would explain the crazy weather." He sighs.
"What?" I ask before I'm quickly cut off.
"Look, the lights are flickering." Aelita tells us.
"Maybe the attack's a power outage." Emily suggests.
"Uh-uh." I shake my head. "Odd mentioned something about weather, before he got cut off, I'm thinking cell phone lines are down."
Marley sighed, "Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll give us a 'fun' time."
"Let's go!" Jeremy shouts. And on his command we all run out of the math building, in hopes of making it into the factory.
Yumi's POV:
"You have got to be kidding me…" I sigh as Millicent, William and I run outside to find the horrible weather.
Outside the sky is dark as can possibly be, despite it being the middle of the day. There is heavy rain constantly pouring down and shows no signs of letting up. Along with all that, every couple of seconds flashes of light can be seen booming in the sky.
"So do we brave the storm?" William asks us. "Or do we run back inside and hope the others get to the factory?"
Millicent sighs. "Well… Going out in a storm like this would be suicide."
"Yeah… But we have to deactivate the tower." I sigh.
Millicent shakes her head and sighs. "I despise XANA, I really do."
"We all do, Millicent." William agrees.
"Come on heroes." I usher the others forward, knowing that we'll have to brave the storm.
Odd's POV:
"Alright Stanford, activated tower." I tell my friend.
Stanford nodded. "Okay, we better get going then."
"What the hell are you two talking about?" Digger asked us.
Crap! I'd forgotten about ol' carrot top… "We were just going to step outside."
Digger looked out the window before laughing. "Are you crazy? How are you supposed to go anywhere out there?"
"That's our problem." Stanford shrugged.
"Really?" Digger chuckled. "As much as I'd love to see the two of you get electrocuted out there it is way too dangerous."
"Since when do you care what we do?" I ask.
"I don't. But I was the last one seen with you two so I don't wanna get arrested or something stupid for you two getting yourselves killed."
We both open the door of the science building and run outside.
The fierce rain completely soaks me within seconds of our walking outside. The excess water that soaks my clothes is making them much, much heavier, thereby slowing my stride. Not only that but it is completely cold, freezing me to the bone and I can hardly see. The only indication that Stanford is next to me is that his own sloshing that can be heard over my own. All in all this sucks and we may not be able to make it.
"Do you think that any of them got to the factory yet?" I yell to Stanford.
"I don't know!" Stanford shouts over me. "But if they got to the sewers then it should be a lot easier!"
"Wouldn't they be flooded?" I ask him.
"Then I guess we'll all have to take the long way there!" Stanford shrugged.
"What the hell do you guys think you're doing going out in this storm?" The irritable voice we had been arguing with only seconds ago shouted at us.
"Digger what the hell is wrong with you?" Stanford asks him.
"Really you're asking me that?" The orange clad red head asks. "What about you two? Running around in this thunder storm."
"I'll have you know that we have a way to turn this whole thing around!" I shout at him before murmuring to myself. "Why is it always so tough being heroes?"
Digger fumes. "What are you-"
BOOM!
What happens next is incredibly crazy. Right out of the sky a flash of lightning strikes right down at us and Stanford and I are just narrowly able to avoid it. Digger wasn't so lucky though…
"Digger!" The two of us shout eyes completely widened.
The boy crumples to the ground after the massive amount of volts hit the boy's body. Clearly, the lightning was aimed at us and yet we weren't hit.
"What are we gonna do?" Stanford asks me.
"We can't leave him out here like this." I command. "We have to get him inside."
"But the tower!" Stanford shouted.
"No buts! We have to get him inside, now!" I shout at him.
"Man…" Stanford sighs.
"Get his legs, I'll get his arms. We have to hurry up before XANA may try to get us again!" I command him.
And like that we're running with a possibly dead Digger Ronster back to one of the school buildings.
Jeremy's POV:
Finally in the woods we open the sewer grate to see that it's completely filled with water.
"Perfect…" I sigh.
"We'll have to go through the city!" Aelita yells.
"You're kidding, right?" Emily asks. "In this weather."
"We don't have another choice." I tell them. "The most important thing is to get Aelita into the tower."
We all begin to run out of the woods and into the city. The lightning strikes have been coming way too close to us and I can only hope that our party of five will make it all the way to the factory. I can only assume that Aelita, Ulrich, Marley and Emily will be the ones on Lyoko because we have no idea if the other's will be able to make it.
Luckily we're able to make it to the factory all right. We're about to go for the cables until I realize something. Emily grabs one of the cables and begins to swing down!
"Emily, wait!" I shout out but it's too late. Due to her wet hands just as quickly as she grabs the cable she falls to the ground.
"Emily!" Ulrich, Marley and Aelita shout out in surprise.
I quickly regain my composure and command the others. "Come on guys, let's take the stairs."
We do and meet her at the bottom.
"Emily, are you okay?" Aelita asks.
"I think so…" The girl answers timidly. "I just need to get up."
"Let me help." Ulrich suggests.
Emily nods and Ulrich gets down and assists the girl in getting up on both feet.
"Thank y-OW!" Emily tried to thank the boy, but once he let her go she shouted out in pain.
Marley quickly caught her.
"I think I sprained my ankle…" Emily sighed.
"Can you stand on your own?" I ask her. She sadly nods her head 'no.'
"Alright," I sigh. "It looks like the three of you will have to go to Lyoko on your own."
"Against Sonia and who knows how many monsters?" Marley asks, now helping the Emily to the elevator. "What are the odds?"
Ulrich shrugs. "We've gone up against worst."
I punch the button heading down. "We don't have much time to lose, who knows who could be getting hurt or possibly worse in that storm."
We finally get to the computer lab and I take Emily from Marley, they head down to the scanner room. Setting Emily down so that she's leaning against the holomap, I go to my chair that slides over to the computer screens. The holomap instantly begins to locate the activated tower.
Finally locating it I announce to Emily and those in the scanner room of its location. "The activated tower is located in the ice sector and is 23 º North by 45º East. I'll start the virtualization process right away."
I begin to type in the commands into the keyboard. Now that I've finished the first set of coding I let out the first verbal command, "Scanner Marley, Scanner Aelita, Scanner Ulrich…" Typing in more commands I then continue. "Transfer Marley, Transfer Aelita, Transfer Ulrich…" Finishing I then triumphantly press the enter key but wish them good luck under my breath before shouting, "Virtualization!"
Within seconds the three of them land on the ground within the Ice Sector.
"Alright guys the tower is 33º due west and I'm going to be sending you the Overwheel and Overbike." I say rapidly typing on the keyboard.
Time to work…
William's POV:
"Come on!" I shout at the two girls who trudge along behind me. "Keep running!"
This attack has been hell. With all this rain it's impossible to tell where we're going and with the thunder all but aiming at us it's impossible not to be incredibly fearful for our lives. I'm just glad that Millicent informed us that the sewers would probably be flooded; at least we didn't have to waste time in the woods.
"I- I can't go on!" Millicent pants.
"Keep going Millicent!" Yumi insists.
"I- I- Woah!" Millicent slipped fell over.
"Millicent!" Both of us shout out in surprise looking back at the girl.
"I c- I can get up…" Millicent insisted. With that note she tried her hardest to get up but kept slipping and falling down. "Help…"
I begin to go for the girl and-
BOOM!
I jump back in surprise at the lightning strike. However this time the lightning is successful in meeting its target as it strikes Millicent. The young girl has a short seizure as the large amounts of volts coarse through her body. Then like that, her eyes lull to the back of her head and the girl goes limp.
"Oh my God!" I shout in surprise, looking down at the girl in complete and utter shock.
"No…" Yumi chokes out before crying into my chest. "M-Milicent…"
"NO!" I shout quickly rushing to her side and checking for a pulse. I sigh when I hear a faint, 'pump pump.'
I look up at Yumi full of relief. "She's still breathing!"
"Oh thank God!" Yumi sighed.
I quickly sling the girl over my shoulder and get to my feet. "Come on, we have to get her to the factory right now!"
"Let's go!" Yumi agrees.
The two of us then run off to the factory, an unconscious Millicent slung over my shoulder.
Marley's POV:
"There's the tower!" I call out to Aelita and Ulrich on their vehicles.
Aelita sighs, "Yeah, and it looks like we have company…"
Out in the distance are three Tarantulas, Sonia and someone new…
"Who's that?" Ulrich asks.
"If you ask me, that's gotta be a new general." Jeremy suggests.
"Well I know how to handle him." Ulrich smirked. "All right princess, you take care of the tarantulas, Marley you get Sonia, I'll take care of this new guy!"
Aelita then hopped off the overbike and flew off into the air immediately hurling an energy field at a tarantula destroying it instantly.
The new general now smirks and turns to us. Now I get a full view of him. The guy is completely pale, with pitch black hair that has red highlights running through it, along with that each eye has an onyx eye of XANA replacing each of the pupils and on his forehead is the light imprint of the eye of XANA. The new general wears the same body suit as William's only his is filled with an assortment of blades and daggers strapped to his body along the belts and sashes. He's completely armed to the teeth…
"Finally," Sonia exclaims, "Now we can have some real fun!"
The other general smirks and nods in agreement. Without batting an eyelash a tiny ball of smoke materializes in his hand before solidifying and manifesting itself into a tiny throwing knife. He hurls it at Ulrich like a skilled dart player would throwing it at a dart board. Ulrich's eyes widen in surprise as the blade meets where the wheel meets the body of the bike but nothing happens.
"What?" Ulrich asks in surprise. But within seconds the blade combusts and the Overbike disintegrates into code.
"Ulrich!" The two of us call out.
"That lost you fifteen lifepoints, Ulrich!"
The new general simply smirks while nodding disapprovingly. He quickly dissolves into smoke now facing the now downed samurai. I pull out one of my phasers to try and help Ulrich. Firing off a shot at the general.
SCREECH!
My shots are immediately redirected back at me by a sonic blast and they blow me off the Overwheel.
"Forty lifepoints, Marley!" Jeremy announces, I can even hear him slam his fist on the edge of the keyboard from here. "You guys gotta be careful!"
I get up to see Sonia looking down at me. "You're not going anywhere!" She smirks.
"Don't worry, I'll make it quick if you stay still!" She adds, drawing one of her curved blades.
Beam me up! I quickly think and just as she's about to strike my head I'm brought to another part of the battlefield, luckily I'm facing Ulrich who is in a fierce fencing match with the new general who has a broad sword in his hands. I quickly fire another shot at the general, making sure not to hit Ulrich.
"Super Smoke!" He quickly shouts, his voice sounding exactly like William's. The general dissolves into smoke and appears behind Ulrich. He grabs him in a headlock and you can hear the boy struggling. The two shots I had fired hit Ulrich but he's still standing. The general is clearly annoyed by this judging by the look of displeasure gracing his face. Due to this annoyance he opens his palm and a blast of fire erupts from it hitting Ulrich's head and devirtualizing him.
"Woah!" I gasp in shock.
I turn to see Aelita finish off the last Tarantula, without a problem.
"Nice one Smoky bear," Sonia comments. "You managed to get rid of the samurai guy on your first trip. I'm impressed."
The general wordlessly turns into his smoke form and returns to Sonia's side.
"Really, nothing?" Sonia pouts. "You haven't said a word to me since we've gotten here! Hell, I don't even know your name!"
"Um… Should we give you two a minute?" Aelita asks as she lands next to me.
"Verbal communication is unnecessary." The general answers. "It only distracts us from the task at hand."
"Wow… What a downer!" Sonia pouted. "Are you sure you aren't the nerdy kids clone?"
"Hey!" Jeremy shouts, clearly insulted by this accusation.
"No…" He smirked. "He could only wish to be the one to provide me my virtual DNA. If you must know I am the spawn of William Dunbar."
"Kinda obvious…" I whisper to Aelita, who nods in agreement.
Sonia pouts once again. "Can you at least tell me your damn name already?"
"I'm Havoc…" He answers. "Havoc of the Dark Arsenal…"
"How come you get a cool title?" Sonia whined. "I want a cool title! XANA never gave me a cool title!"
"Maybe we should go to the next POV?" Aelita asked nobody in particular.
"DON'T BREAK THE FOURTH WALL!" A disembodied voice that wasn't Jeremy's or Emily's shouted, clearly very pissed off at the virtual angel. "Now everyone get back to work… and never ever tell me to write my story or so help me I will give you minimal appearances and lines… but I suppose everyone's so… um… How are Odd, Digger and Stanford doing?"
Stanford's POV:
"OH MA GERD, DIGGAH'S DEAD! #Didn'tcthatcommminnoowdidya" I shouted but clearly it was the bored author still messing with everyone's heads and not actually giving me the correct lines. The author who oddly enough looked like Walter appeared out slapped me upside the head and spontaneously disappeared once again.
The Real Stanford's POV:
"How is he?" I ask Odd, who's checking the pulse of the unconscious bully that we somehow were able to lug into the closest building which just so happened to be the garden shed.
Odd gets up from where he was checking the boys pulse. He lets out a sigh of relief before giving me the news. "He's still breathing."
"Guess XANA didn't pump him with enough juice, huh?" I ask him.
Odd doesn't laugh or show any form of amusement. Instead he looks around the garden shed for something.
"Come on Odd…" I sigh. "It was just a joke."
Odd doesn't even bother to look at me as he continues his search. He does answer though. "Yeah… it was very funny…"
I look at the boy with great concern. "Come on, Odd what's wrong? You love my jokes."
"Yeah except this isn't a joke!" Odd shouted as he slammed down the lid of the open chest he's looking in. "Digger's seriously hurt and it's all our fault!"
"He got caught up in an attack." I tell the purple clad boy. "What else is new? It's not like this hasn't happened before."
"Except all the people who were caught up in attacks before were practically safe!" The boy shouts at me. "Digger was struck by lightning, Stanford. He could die and there's nothing we can do about it! We can't help them out on Lyoko and it looks like there are no medical supplies in this tent that we could use to cure him!"
I sigh as the weight of the whole situation dawns on me. Odd was right, we couldn't save Digger. No matter how much of a jerk he was, he didn't deserve to die, especially not at the hands of XANA.
A small tear rolls down Digger's emotionless face apparently he's regained enough consciousness to hear these words.
"What do we do now?" I ask him.
Odd sighs and falls down to his knees. "I guess we just hope that they can deactivate the tower…"
Aelita's POV:
"There is no way you guys are gonna deactivate that tower!" Sonia shouts at us as she runs at Marley, swinging her blades wildly. I can only watch as I have my hands full trying to avoid the trail of smoke clearly chasing after me.
Havoc and Sonia resolved their issues mere seconds ago and now turned their efforts back to me and Marley. Marley ducks out of the way of each slash as she backs him up.
I look away as I focus on fleeing from Havoc, he doesn't show any signs of backing down though, in fact he's faster than William.
I swoop down and fly towards Marley who is now using Warp Speed to avoid Sonia who is desperately trying to catch up.
"How are you doing?" I ask him.
"Not good." He answered. "She clipped me a while back and I'm pretty sure that puts me down to thirty life points."
"I still have sixty life points from the Tarantulas." I informed him.
He sighs. "We're not gonna make it are we?"
"We will…" I assure the boy. "Somehow we will."
"Without some help I doubt it." He sighs. "Sonia was able to take out nearly all of us on her first time and she was alone and with this guy there's no hope."
I refuse to believe the boy. I stop my flight and turn to the oncoming enemies. "Energy field!" I shout firing out an orb of light at Sonia who easily bats it off with one of her swords.
"Nice try, but it's gonna take more than that to stop us!"
Havoc joins her and smirks. He forms a Zwihander that looks exactly the same as William's and leaves it resting on his shoulder.
"This has been a very enlightening first encounter, Lyoko Warriors." Havoc smirks. "But alas, now it will be coming to an end. I had always been told that you Lyoko Warriors were much more powerful than that."
Marley takes out his phasers, looking angrily at the general who had just mocked us. "Get behind me, Aelita!" I follow his orders and get behind him. He then fires many shots and is able to clip Sonia's shoulder and hit Havoc in the stomach, both generals clutch their now sparkling wounds.
Once Havoc's stomach stops sparkling with electricity he looks angrily at the Star Trek enthusiast defending me. "You'll be the first to fall." The general smirks. He then effortlessly swings his sword and a large wave of fire escapes from the swing, engulfing Marley in flames before devirtualizing him.
Havoc and Sonia then turn to me.
"Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide." Sonia taunts her. "Is this really the end of the great Lyoko Warriors?"
Havoc chuckles. "I find it hard to believe that Master XANA had trouble with you for so long."
"Now it's over." Sonia smirks, drawing her two curved blades from her sleeves. Havoc follows suit and holds out his Zwihander threateningly.
Yumi's POV:
The elevator opens and we all walk into the lab.
I announce our presence to the computer genius. "Jeremy, we made it as quickly as we could-"
"Doesn't matter, you five are going down to the scanner room right now!" He slams his fist on the edge of the keyboard.
"You mean two of us." William chimes in. "Millicent got fried by the storm and I don't know where Odd and Stanford are."
"Can you take care of Millicent, Ulrich?" Jeremy asks.
"I'll try but I'm not an expert at this, Jeremy." Ulrich shrugs.
The elevator opens once more and Marley sighs. "There's nothing I could've done, Jeremy."
"You need to go now!" Jeremy shouts. "Aelita is all on her own against Sonia and Havoc on Lyoko, Emily can't go and Ulrich and Marley have already been devirtualized!"
"Here," William hands Millicent to Ulrich. "Come on Yumi let's go!"
"Who's Havoc?" I ask as I run to the elevator but Jeremy doesn't answer as he's too busy typing away at the keyboard.
Odd's POV:
"There's nothing." I finally sigh, giving up my search for something to help Digger.
"Don't worry," Stanford says, trying to remain optimistic. "I'm sure Aelita's in the tower already."
"Right and now Jeremy's going to yell 'Return to the Past Now!'"
Boom!
Lightning strikes and leaves a hole in the roof. Luckily it seems that nothing's happening.
"Uh-oh…" Stanford sighs before lightning strikes yet another piece of the roof causing it to collapse once again.
"They better hurry up and deactivate the tower…" I say to no one in particular.
General POV:
"Any last words, Princess?" Sonia asks.
Aelita stammers, trying to find a suitable response before a certain genius chimes in. "She doesn't but I have one… Virtualization!"
"What!?" Havoc shouts, angrily looking around for someone but he can't find anything.
"He's bluffing!" Sonia shouts before directing her attention to Aelita who's running for the tower.
Havoc growls. "After her!"
Sonia and Havoc both try to run after the virtual angel only to trip on two fans.
"You two stay right there!" A voice shouts and they turn back to see Yumi and William standing there.
Sonia turns around to let out a sonic scream that flies out towards Aelita who has almost made it to the tower and immediately both her and Havoc fall into the ground.
William and Yumi run over to where they were standing just in time to see the two dark portals closing.
"Damn it!" William shouts. He forms his sword and strikes it into the ground to further show his annoyance.
The sonic blast that was sent out at Aelita just hits the tower as Aelita enters it safely.
As for Odd and Stanford the entire roof is now off the garden shed and the rain pours on them.
"Oh man…" Stanford gulps.
Aelita then begins to fly up the tower.
Back in the factory, Emily looks down at Ulrich who is checking Millicent's pulse.
"How is she doing?" Emily asks.
Ulrich sighs, "Her pulse is getting slower and slower."
Aelita then lands on the second platform and approaches the interface.
Lightning now shoots down from the sky and unfortunately it's able to hit Odd and Stanford, electrocuting them as well. Digger is seen letting out another tear.
Aelita places her hand on the interface. The screen immediately recognizes her and it reads her name.
"I don't think she's gonna make it…" Ulrich sighs. "Her pulse has nearly stopped!"
Code
"Hang on just a little bit, Millie…" Emily pleads, Marley squeezes her right hand.
LY-
The lightning stops and Odd, Stanford and Digger are left lying on the floor. All three of them have their chests heavily rising and falling, showing their consciousness.
OK-
"Her heart's nearly lost its pulse!" Ulrich cries out.
Odd, Stanford and Digger's pulses also begin to slow as well.
O
The other interfaces that line the edge of the tower fall into the dark abyss below. Aelita sighs. "Tower deactivated."
Outside all the rain immediately stopped and the clouds cleared.
Back in the lab Jeremy who was already typing in the coding, just finished. He quickly pushed the enter key and shouted the five famed words that had saved so many lives before. "Return to the past now!"
The bright blue time bubble erupted from the holomap and engulfed the five people in the lab. The bubble then moved on to engulf the entire factory. Soon the gardening shed was engulfed in the time bubble and then the world.
Jeremy's POV:
I open my eyes and find myself in the lunch room, with all the others at our table.
"Lunch?" Yumi asks as she looks down at her tray.
"Apparently…" Marley shrugs. "How come we went this far Jeremy?"
"Sorry." I shrug. "I just went to the first time I could and that popped up."
"That's good." Odd sighed. "A couple more seconds and Digger, Stanford and I would've been goners."
"As would I." Millicent agreed.
Ulrich sighs. "I'm just glad everyone's okay. That last attack was a little too close, three of us almost died not to mention an innocent bystander."
"Yeah and now we've got both Havoc and Sonia running around on Lyoko." Aelita nodded.
"Who's Havoc?" Odd, Millicent and Stanford all ask at once.
"XANA's newest attack dog." William confirmed with a growl. "He's lucky I didn't get my hands on him."
"We'll have to be ready next time." I sigh. "Something tells me that the battle's only just begun."
And that ends another chapter. What do you all think of Havoc: The Dark Arsenal? Ya'know you love him! As for the little section in the middle? Meh, I got bored and needed to get some comedic relief in there. And yes, Princess Lyoka the hashtag in the false scene was just for you. ;) I have no idea what I'm gonna do with the other generals, whatever it is I'm sure it'll be interesting. By the way if you're wondering about Sonia's official title it's Sonia of the Assassination. Pretty dope. Anyways…
Next chapter: A mountain sector replica! Teleportation to a secret military base who knows where! And most importantly an activated tower… What more could you possibly want?
Read and Review!
