Update! ... Not sure what else to say here... I like pumpkin bars. If you've never tried them they're delicious!
"Wolfie, you okay?" Ulrich spun around and nearly hit his sister with the pole he was holding.
"Rica, what are you doing here!"
"Hay you're the tree lady!" Stella smiled happily.
"I'm fine, but you have to get out of here it's dangerous!" Ulrich scanned the area for monsters
"Where's she supposed to go?" Stella argued.
"I know it's dangerous, and that's why I'm not leaving you here alone!" Rica stood her ground.
"Rica," Ulrich glared at his sister.
"Ulrich," She mocked in return.
"Stella!" Said girl added happily.
"I know how to fight these things, you don't."
"You just hit the target!"
"Not helping, Stella!"
"I know more than you know." Rica said seriously. "And I'm helping whether you like it or not." The siblings stared at each other for a long moment.
"Stella get to the factory. The others need your help." Ulrich said sternly. Rica smiled as Stella nodded.
"Okey dokey Wolfie." The purple clad girl ran into the trees, presumably heading towards the factory. Rica giggled.
"I think I just gained a minion." Ulrich rolled his eyes.
"Just don't get yourself killed."
"Ditto, little bro."
"Four minutes!"
"I'm still older."
"So now what do we do?" Aelita asked. "The tower's still active and we can't get inside."
"Yuri's still in there." Franz added, staring at the tower in despair.
"Well it doesn't look like she's done anything," Yumi stated, "Jeremy? Any ideas?"
"I've been trying to hack into the tower," The genius responded. "I can't seem to do anything, no surprise there, but you could try breaking the wires connecting the tower to Lyoko, that should be able to deactivate it."
"Sounds like a plan." Franz stated, summoning a knife and walking over to one of the large black tubes. He slashed at it with all his strength but was only able to make a small scratch. "This may take a while." Yumi rolled her eyes and threw a fan at the wire. Her attempt was more successful but not by much.
"Guys," Jeremy stated, "You have company."
The group turned to the sound they usually associated with tanks. Instead, a white spherical ball was staring at them with one of REXA's eyes that were lined in a circle around its middle. To either side of this monster was a duplicate of the blob that had devirtualized Ulrich. They effectively blocked the only path away from the tower.
Yumi expanded her fans and Aelita summoned an energy ball to her hand. Odd pointed his now gray hand at the monsters ready to fire. Franz continued to slash at the wires with determination. The monsters didn't move.
"Do you need an invitation?" Yumi asked. Odd frowned and fired a laser arrow at the spherical monsters eye. As soon as the arrow touched the eye began to glow red and suddenly shot a laser back at Odd. The purple warrior managed to doge the attack.
"Okay don't do that, got it." The blob on the left started to bubble, making a strange gurgling sound. Then it opened its mouth, spitting out another blob that immediately lunged at Yumi. She threw her fan at its mouth before it could reach her. A second blob flew at Odd and he too devirtualized it before it could hit him.
"That all you got?" He asked. The remaining blob gurgled and spit out another duplicate which in turn spat out another which spat out another. Soon the field in front of them was covered in white blobs. "That's not good." Odd backed away, not lowering his weapon. The first line of blobs lunged at the group.
William's phone vibrated again. He groaned and pulled his pillow over his head. Why couldn't they just leave him alone? The vibrating repeated. They sure were insistent on contacting him, maybe they really did need him. No, he'd probably just end up sitting in the corner again. The phone vibrated again. What was he thinking? Of course they needed him.
"Hello?" He said, opening the phone.
"William," Jeremy responded, "I've been trying to contact you for ages."
"Yeah, sorry Jeremy I was in the shower." The lie came easily.
"Never mind that, XANA's summoned monsters to earth!" William heard laser fire and ran to the window. A group of Crabbes were firing at the students of Kadic.
"I can see that." He stated, "They just made it to the school."
"That's terrible, people could get hurt!"
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious." William scanned his room, nothing useful. "I'll handle things here. How's everyone on Lyoko?" He ran out the door.
"They're surrounded by REXA's monsters and can't get into the tower."
"Well at least we still have our health."
"She's here?" Rich asked. Mark nodded.
"From what we've observed she's developed the filters but she's not done with the helmet yet." Rich frowned.
"Why are you telling me?"
"Do you remember this attack happening?" Mark asked. Rich didn't respond, they both knew the answer. "REXA's involved." Rich's eyes widened in shock, but quickly narrowed with determination.
"Any idea where she is?" Mark threw a small device at him.
"That should be able to track the GPS in Rica's cellphone." He stated. Rich frowned.
"What are you going to do?"
"There are blocks in the streets. Beca's fighting them off but I shouldn't leave her alone for too long." Rich nodded.
"Good luck." He stated.
"Ditto."
Just a reminder (or a note. I can't remember if I've said this before and am currently too lazy to look it up) any questions you have will be answered if you leave them as a review or send me a PM. They may not be answered completely if they involve spoilers, but they will be answered.
Thank you for your continued support and thank anyone reading this even if you never leave a review! (I do like reviews though)
