Chapter 8
A Bad Turn
The Lyoko Warriors were exiting the sewers into the forest.
"Just a few more missions like that on sector 5 and i should have all the elements i need for Aelita's Anti Virus."
Jeremie said leaving first.
They say goodbye to Yumi and walk back to Kadic.
Ulrich went after Yumi as the rest walked back.
"It is strange though."
Aelita said as they walked.
"What is?"
Jeremie questioned.
"We haven't seen X for a while usually he would be helping us get the information we go to sector 5."
"That is strange."
Jeremie thinks.
"We haven't seen him since the computer was low on power."
"You mean when that criminal kidnapped you?"
"Yes Odd."
Jeremie looked at Aelita
"You said X inserted part of his code into you when he activated that tower right?"
Aelita nods.
"Maybe he put all the energy he had into keeping you alive when the computer turned off."
Aelita closes her eyes then opens them.
"I don't think that was the case."
Jeremie looks at her.
"Nevermind let's just head back."
Some time later…
Aelita was in the Ice Sector and was stuck on a floating island.
"Why am I here, where is the tower Jeremie?"
There was no answer.
"Jeremie?"
She walks to the center of the island and sees X's scythe stuck in the ground.
"Why is this here?"
"Grab the scythe."
A voice said.
"What?"
"Grab the scythe."
The voice was louder.
"Why is this here?"
The world grew darker.
"What's happening?"
The darkness covered the world and all Aelita saw was darkness.
"Free the wielder."
Was all Aelita heard before she woke up.
At Breakfast…
"Im sure it was just a dream Aelita."
Jeremie said after Aelita explained her dream.
"I dont think so the scythe i used was the same one in the same sector."
"Maybe its a coincidense."
Odd said sitting down.
Aelita remained silent.
"We should go to Lyoko."
She spoke up.
"No way Aelita it is way too risky."
"Is it as risky as a normal mission?"
Jeremie shook his head.
"The difference is we never know what XANA can try for all we know this is just a trick to lure you to Lyoko."
Aelita remained silent she knew Jeremie was right but she felt something about that dream was true.
Later that day everyone at an assembly to teach driving to the students.
But back the factory another being had materialized itself out of the scanners.
An orange claw went out of it.
At the school one by one the students took turns driving.
Some did terrible while others did not that well either.
Ulrich was in detention because of fighting.
The rest of the group were in the courtyard while this was happening.
Thats when Jeremie got an alarm for an activated tower.
The four of them made their way to the factory but the elevator was guarded but a real version of the Krab.
Yumi got a call from her brother saying that a monster was attacking their house.
She left and went to go help her family.
Jeremie attempted to contact Ulrich only for it to go to voicemail.
"We'll have to do without him."
He drew up a plan on the dirty floor of the tower.
Odd completely ignored the plan and jumped after the Krab.
"BANZAI!!"
He lands and the Krab shoots at him.
Odd rolled under the Krab to dodge the blast.
He began to lure the Krab away and Jeremie and Aelita made it to the elevator.
Odd made it before the elevator went down and they escaped the Krab.
Jeremie went to the computer lab and Aelita and Odd went to the scanner room.
Meanwhile, Yumi was trying to get to her family but the police was stopping her.
When Odd and Aelita went to the scanner room they saw two of the three scanners were destroyed.
"Ok im gonna virtualize Aelita first."
Jeremie said typing in the codes as Aelita steps inside the scanner.
"Transfer Aelita Scanner Aelita Virtualization."
Aelita was virtualized onto the mountain sector.
"Ive programmed the Overboard."
The vehicle appeared in front of her.
"Your turn Odd"
Unfortuantely before Odd could step into the scanner another Krab was materialized.
Back at Kadic
Another Krab was attacking the students while Ulrich and William were in detention.
Jim told them to stay put and he went outside.
Back at the Factory a loud crash was heard as Odd climbed into the computer lab.
"What was that?"
Jeremie questioned.
"The very last scanner getting destroyed by a Krab."
"Aelita is on her own now."
Aelita jumped on the Overboard and start to head towards the tower.
Yumi was able to get passed the police officer after he got a call that another creature was attacking Kadic.
Aelita is able to fly on the Overboard well and was moving quickly to the tower.
The other Lyoko Warriors each had a Krab to deal with.
Jim attempted to punch a Krab and was immedietly shot in the shoulder.
Ulrich and William lured the Krab away so it didnt finish Jim off.
William lured the Krab near the maintenence shed.
"Ulrich Now!"
He jumped ontop of the Krab and stabbed the eye with a pipe.
Back on Lyoko Aelita was playing with the Overboard on her way to the tower by making a ramp out of the terrain with her powers.
She did a few tricks and continued on her way.
Odd was dealing with the Krab attacking him in the elevator shaft.
He eventually made it to the first floor and somehow the Krab followed him.
"These Krabs are just as bad as on Lyoko."
4 Hornets attempted to attack Aelita.
Aelita was quick and was able to dodge a lot of lasers.
She was on a straight path to the tower.
She saw a floating mountain and went around it in an attempt to escape the hornets.
One attempted to shoot her
Aelita ran into it and hits the hornet causeing it to swiver and shoot two hornets.
She went back on the path to the tower and the remaining hornets followed her.
She went to a mountain and quickly moved up causing a hornet to crash and explode, six more hornets joined flew after her.
They split up to trap Aelita.
She was able to trick two of them to crash and destroy themselves.
Aelita moves up and the five remaining hornets flew up after her.
She went high up and then went straight down pass the swarm.
"Well done Aelita,Odd would be proud of you."
Jeremie said as she continued to make her way to the tower.
The hornets followed her.
"Theyre catching up to you."
"I have an idea."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Uhh no Odd showed it to me."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
The hornets shot at her and Aelita flew up and spinned a few times on the Overboard before moving straight down near a whole in the path.
She went down the path and three hornets crashed and were destroyed.
Back on Earth.
Yumi attempted to get her family to safety and was shot in the leg.
Odd was hiding from the Krab that was hunting him.
The Krab was about to finish off Yumi.
But Ulrich wielding a sword her father had and deflected the the laser.
Ulrich began dodgeing and blocking lasers from the Krab.
Odd was just dodging the Krab in the factory.
In Lyoko Aelita was using a hollow mountain to destroy the hornets.
Two remained and were closing on her.
Aelita had the Overboard dematerialized and fell destroying the two hornets.
She lands perfectly on a platform and gets on the Overwing.
At the Factory…
William showed up in the car from before and saved Odd from the Krab.
Aelita was near the tower when two Turatualas showed up and shot at Aelita destroying the Overwing.
She tried to run to the tower but the Scyphozoa was in front of her.
"No Aelita!"
Jeremie said trying to think of a plan.
The monster attempted to grab Aelita.
"No!"
Several slices were heard.
Aelita was once again holding X's scythe and had sliced the Scyphozoa was limbless.
She threw the scythe at the Turatualas and ran into the tower.
An image of X appeared an Aelita's head as she went to the interface.
"Return what was borrowed."
The image vanished and Aelita blinked a few times.
'What was that?'
She shook out of her thoughts and deactivated the tower.
Jeremie launched a return to the past and everything was fixed.
Later that night…
Aelita snuck into the factory.
"I need to know."
She virtualized herself onto the Ice sector.
Suddenly a strange vehicle had appeared.
It had the handle of the Overwing, the seating of the Overbike and the bottom part of the Overboard.
It was black with a dark blue outline.
"What is this?"
The vehicle was close to Aelita.
She hesitates and gets on the vehicle.
It automatically flies over to where the Scythe was.
She gets off the vehicle.
"So it wasnt a dream."
Aelita slowly approached the scythe and placed his hand on the handle.
A large flash of light appeared and X appeared in front of her.
His back was facing her and the hood that was normally covering his face was down revealing pitch black hair.
X put his hood back up before turning to Aelita.
"Thank you."
He put his hand on her head.
"Code:Earth."
Aelita appeared in the scanner.
"X needed help."
She said standing up.
"What exactly is he?"
On Lyoko…
X was driving on his vehicle to the closest tower.
"Overspeeder."
AN:X has a Vehicle now, and yes there was a lack of X in this chapter, well there was a reason, anyway hope you all enjoyed, until the next chapter please review.
