"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" screamed Jeremie as the section of land collapsed below, Odd, Ulrich and Aelita sending them plummeting towards the digital sea, then suddenly the section of land stopped it managed to catch them, they looked up and laying on the edge was Yumi leaning on it with her hand to her forehead, she knew about the mega tanks but she had to do something, "Odd we gotta help her" said Ulrich, Odd then raised his arm and started shooting the mega tanks destroying one of them "yeah" shouted Odd, the other one then aimed down ready to shoot them, Aelita then started to sing and the land below it disappeared, causing it to fall into the digital sea, their platform then reached the main land mass they stepped off , then Yumi stopped focusing and the piece of land fell towards the digital, Yumi was weak she rolled over and looked up at the sky "yeah wait a go Yumi" shouted a relieved Jeremie, he then looked at Yumi's stats she was at half health "guys Yumi's only got 50 life points left" said Jeremie, "okay Jeremie she's exhausted though" said Aelita, Ulrich then grabbed Yumi and carried her on his shoulder, "where's the tower Jeremie" asked Odd, Jeremie then checked the screen "how is that possible" said Jeremie, the warriors then looked at each other "how is what possible" asked Yumi who then coughed "The location of the towers changed" replied Jeremie, "where is it now" asked Odd, Jeremie typed and typed "it's in the Forest sector" said Jeremie, they then started moving away from that location "where's the way tower" asked Odd, Aelita pointed forward and replied "not too far come on", they then carried on moving, then Ulrich stopped them before setting Yumi down on a rock, "what is it" asked Odd, Ulrich looked around, Aelita then looked around "you too" asked Odd, Aelita looked up "XANA's monsters" said Aelita, Ulrich turned back towards the others "Yumi, you and Aelita go towards the tower, me and Odd will hold them off" said Ulrich, Yumi stood up "no were not leaving you" said Yumi, Ulrich drew his sword and replied "I said Go, so don't stop just go", Yumi and Aelita started heading towards the tower, Ulrich looked up then forward, as a sword went past them and struck a rock behind them, they looked back and then forward to see 5 humanoid figures moving, they were encased entirely in a silver armour, with the helmet being smooth with a ridge on the top, one of the eyes was cybernetic, the suit was a mixture of Medieval and cybernetic with giant shoulder pads and a chest that suggested it had been working out, the warrior in the centre was sword less having just thrown it "uh Jeremie do you see this" asked Odd, Jeremie looked at the screen he noticed them on the map, then and Id card appeared on the screen "what the fuck is that" asked Jeremie, then Odd and Ulrich looked at each other, "we were hoping you knew" said Odd, Ulrich then shouted "triplicate" and then split into three , before the clones charged at the silver warriors, one of the Ulrich clones jumped ready to strike one of the silver warriors, it suddenly raised its sword striking the clone and impaling it on its sword, before it could DE virtualize it lowered its sword and pushed it off with his foot, "oh shit" said Odd, then the centre warrior looked back and nodded and 3 of them turned around and started to head towards the way tower, "Jeremie, you have to warn Yumi" said Ulrich, then the two remaining warriors started charging at Odd and Ulrich, they stood ready to fight, but the sword less one charge through them knocking them either side of him, it then grabbed his sword, it swung to attack Ulrich, then the clone used its own sword to block it "let's hope they get that tower deactivated" said Odd.
"I need to create another one" said Agnew, this awoke Dallas he didn't make this obvious, and he watched as two suited men carried away the charred corpse of the other suited man, Dallas watched as Agnew observed this, then he noticed the gun, he went to reach for it but couldn't move his arm "ah Mr Marshall, you're awake" said Agnew then Dallas was lifted up by the handcuffs on his wrist, "well aren't you going to say something" said Agnew, Dallas then spat blood into Agnew's face, it was in his mouth from his fall, Agnew grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his face "well I was hoping for something more civil" said Agnew, as he pocketed the handkerchief "you truly are evil XANA" said Dallas, Agnew looked at him and replied "yes, yes I am" he then looked over Dallas's shoulder "I assume you already know miss Walsh" said Agnew, who then turned Dallas around "Kelly this man had you're farther killed" said Dallas, then Kelly looked at Agnew "is this true" asked Kelly "yes it is" replied Agnew, Dallas believed he had told her the truth then both Kelly and Agnew started laughing "what's so funny" asked Dallas "he wasn't my farther" said Kelly, "what" asked Dallas, then Agnew signalled for them to move forward and said "come I'll explain", they walked down a corridor into the factory, he then pressed a button and the wall opened up to reveal an elevator with two suited men inside, they looked at Agnew, Dallas then quickly snapped the hand cuffs and jumped at one of the suited men punching it in the face, it was unfazed, Dallas looked at it, it gave a blank expression back, before grabbing him and throwing him across one of the tables with a few boxes on, Dallas knocked the boxes over causing Styrofoam to go all over the floor, Dallas landed on his back he then turned over and got up, Agnew stopped the other one and Kelly and said "no this should be enjoyable" the suited man walked over to Dallas who then threw another punch landing it in the jaw of the suited man, unfazed he carried on walking towards Dallas "oh shit, oh shit" said Dallas, he then threw another punch still unfazed the suited man carried on towards him, the suited man then grabbed Dallas's head and started crushing his head, Dallas winced in pain as the suited man whilst holding onto him smashed him into some boxes causing them to break and more Styrofoam to come out and a few pumpkin masks, the suited man then pushed Dallas to the ground and started strangling him, the later then turned the tables on him and rolled him onto the floor, the suited man carried on in holding onto Dallas neck as Dallas began punching into the suited man's stomach, at first there was no effect, then suddenly the suited man began to slowly lose quality as if he was a worn out tape, Dallas carried on punching until he punctured the suited man he then noticed what the suited man how he had been reduced to low quality image of what he was, Dallas was shocked, then two suited men grabbed Dallas arms and restrained him, Agnew then walked over towards him clapping "ah you've busted another one, I really should stop you from doing that" said Agnew, Dallas turned to look at him, he was both angry and shocked at the sight "what are they" asked Dallas, Agnew turned to face him "clones, of course I'm honestly surprised that no one noticed" said Agnew, before clicking his fingers and 2 more suited men walked into the room and removed the one on the floor, Dallas watched this before turning his head back to Agnew "you sicken me" said Dallas, Agnew turned around to face him after watching "I do love too" said Agnew patting Dallas on his cheek, Dallas then bit his hand, there was a bruise, and a tiny bit of blood Dallas was confused by this "I thought you were a clone like the rest of these" said Dallas, Agnew then inspected the bite before gloving this hand he then raised his head "this body is becoming more human every moment" said Agnew "is that you're goal XANA" said Dallas, Agnew then laughed and said "of course note that's a positive side effect", he then curled his fist and punched Dallas in the face, knocking him out again, and causing his eye to swell, the swelling then started to go down.
Meanwhile back at kadic, Alexa sat in her room wondering what Dallas meant by don't wear the masks, she stood up of her bed
"What could he have meant it must have been important" said Alexa, she walked around her room until she reached her window, she then proceeded to look out of it, she then pulled out her phone and dialled a number, she got Dallas answer phone "you've reached Dallas, I'm unable to answer my phone for whatever reason, so leave a message", she then hung up before dialling another number, meanwhile at the factory, Jeremie watched on his screen as 3 of the armoured warriors, got closer towards Yumi and Aelita, "watch out their getting closer" he said, then a phone icon appeared, it was blank he answered it "hello" he asked, he got his reply immediately "hello Jeremie, it's Alexa do you know where Dallas is" he thought about using a cover story but decided against it "no, I thought he was with you" replied Jeremie, "no he rushed off on his bike but said Don't wear the mask" said Alexa, "I wonder what that means" asked Jeremie, "I don't know" replied Alexa "but thanks anyway" she continued before hanging up "so if he wasn't just going to hang out with Alexa, what did he mean" asked Jeremie to himself "Jeremie what are you on about" asked Yumi as she and Aelita, got closer towards the way tower "I'm thinking about what Dallas said to you" replied Jeremie, he then looked at the screen, the 3 warriors disappeared Jeremie looked closer "where'd the go" he asked, Yumi and Aelita kept on running "where'd who go" asked Aelita, Jeremie then checked the ones at Odd and Ulrich, they were still their "Why are they standing their" asked Odd, as the 2 silver warriors had Odd, Ulrich and Ulrich's clone back to back against each other, "I don't know but they seem to be waiting" replied Ulrich, then the first warrior then drew it's sword and charged at them, Ulrich used his sword to block the sword attack then the second Ulrich, slashed the sword in half, "hah" said Ulrich, then using the damaged sword it impaled the second Ulrich, "oh" said Ulrich, who then jumped out of the way, Odd followed suit, the warriors then looked at them, "any ideas Odd" asked Ulrich, looking at Odd "just one" said Odd, he then raised his arm and shouted "laser arrow" and fired an arrow striking, the warrior with the damaged sword it in the chest, then was no effect, the arrow just bounced off of the chest plate, "oh shit" said Odd, then he and Ulrich started running, then the two warriors started to give chase, Odd fired up shooting some of the high ice mountains causing some of the rocks to fall, it blocked the path "good work Odd" said Ulrich, but he spoke to soon as one of the warriors smashed through the rock, "or not" said Ulrich as he and Odd started running again.
Dallas was awoken by a slap to the face, he opened his eyes to see an entirely unknown room to him, these workers where different from previous ones they looked different from each other they all wore navy blue jumpsuits
"After a while one gets tired of seeing the same old face" said Agnew as he lead Dallas, Kelly and two suited men down some stairs, which drew level with the floor, "what are they doing" asked Dallas, "final processing" said Kelly, Dallas then noticed they were placing the logo badge on the masks, "why are they still making the masks, it's Halloween already" said Dallas, "oh I forgot to shut them down" said Agnew, he then laughed, before leading the group through the factory room and into another room, their where more suited men, assembling the badges "these are going to make Halloween memorable" said Agnew holding one "how's that" asked Dallas, Agnew turned to face him "all in due time" he said as they carried on through the room until they entered another one, where there were workers assembling the circuitry, "consider you're self-lucky, this is a private part of the tour" said Agnew sarcastically, Dallas tried to break his arm free and punch Agnew, but couldn't he tried eagle sense, he still couldn't "oh their stronger than they look" said Agnew, then he picked up a piece of circuitry, "so complex for regular humans but for me, child's play" said Agnew before dropping it and smashing it with the heal of his shoe "this is going to be a Halloween to remember" said Kelly "or whoever's left will remember it" said Agnew, Dallas was puzzled "what do you mean" he asked, there was no reply from either of them, they then carried on until they reached another room, it had computer's everywhere, men in white coats typing at a rapid rate "still slower than Jeremie" said Dallas, Agnew turned around "are they now" he asked, then Dallas noticed a couple of tv screens and a phone on a desk with a chair "my office" said Agnew, before removing his jacket leaving him in his shirt and tie, Agnew then inspected the men at the computer's, Dallas then noticed several cases with exotic animals, all of them deadly "what are you doing with them" asked Dallas, Kelly stepped to face him "they liven up the room" she said, she then kissed Dallas on the lips, Dallas reacted by spitting out the disgusting taste "ah that was a petrol sort of taste" said Dallas, she then slapped him before scratching his cheek with her nails, leaving 3 cuts which started bleeding, he then healed them "I can take anything you throw at me bitch" said Dallas, Agnew then returned and said "don't talk about my daughter like that" Dallas was slightly shocked "kissed the enemy's daughter right" he said, before he got back to the point "wait what" he asked "my daughter, I thought if I'm creating a human body for myself, I might as well have a daughter" said Agnew kissing her on the top of her head "right I'm disgusted, could you kill me know please" said Dallas, being half joking and half serious, "it wouldn't have any effect" said Agnew, before leading Dallas towards a metal corridor.
Back on Lyoko, Yumi and Aelita reached the way tower
"Their" said Aelita pointing at it, they then stepped forward, "stop you two" said Jeremie, Yumi looked up and asked "why", Jeremie typed quickly and brought saw that the 3 armoured warriors that had re appeared, and where moving from behind the tower "oh shit" said Aelita they then started running away, Yumi then stopped and threw one of her fans it scratched the armour of one of the warriors, she caught in and threw it again, the same effect "what do we do now" asked Yumi, Jeremie started typing furiously "I don't know I'm working on it" he said, then Aelita kneeled down and started to sing, then the floor gave way below one of the warriors and it fell into the digital sea, there was a circular saw sound as it fell the other two warriors didn't pay attention and carried on towards them, "any ideas" asked Yumi, "no I'm afraid not" replied Aelita now scared, the warriors drew level and one swung it's sword ready to strike Yumi, the blade got closer "NOOOOO" she screamed as she closed her eyes, then she heard it hit something, she opened her eyes and there was Ulrich, with his katana blocking the sword "don't just sit there go" shouted Ulrich, as he then threw deflected the blade back causing it to strike the warriors helmet causing it to stumble back and fall over before explode "theirs one-way to do it" said Ulrich, then Odd caught up with him "let's do this" said Odd, "no go with the girls, I'll handle these guys" said Ulrich, Odd looked as the two that where following them came into view, "no I'm not leaving" said Odd, "I said Go" ordered Ulrich, Odd then started running towards the girls "what about Ulrich" asked Yumi, they then looked as he was surrounded by the warriors, "he's covering are arses" said Odd, they then entered the tower, and quickly jumped down into the void, Ulrich was surrounded by the 3 armoured warriors, one swung it's sword Ulrich quickly rolled out of the way, and started running away, the warriors started pursing him.
Dallas was strapped down in a chair by the 2 suited men, the chair was metal and the straps where made of leather and were wrapped around his hands twice before being buckled, another one was placed around his head which was also buckled and the last one around his torso, the room was a metal box and the door had a window, the only other things inside the room were a TV and a security camera, Dallas looked as the two suited men finished the job
"Well what are you planning this time XANA" asked Dallas breaking the silence, Agnew walked behind the TV "Halloween, they say everyone is entitled to one scare, but the barriers will be down between the real and the unreal, and at this moment I will strike" said Agnew, Dallas then looked at the tv and asked "why the TV" Agnew stepped forward in front of the tv, "because you remember that snake" asked Agnew, "faintly" replied Dallas, "well each badge contains a chip inside which when activated will turn everyone wearing one of my masks into lethal insects and over such things" said Agnew before pausing, "the snake in your room, was the result of a misfire, this ended up in your stomach before exiting and then attacking you" said Agnew, Dallas looked at him, before trying to break free of this chair "I swear when I get out of this chair, I will kill you and that bitch you call your daughter" screamed Dallas unable to break free Agnew then turned around and grabbed Dallas neck "say that again" said Agnew tightening his grip "go on do it kill me" said Dallas, Agnew then let go "I know about you're healing factor boy" said Agnew "when the clock strikes 11 other people will wish they had it" said Agnew, before he started to leave the room, but he then turned around and flicked on the TV "you'll know when it's 11 as the company's advert will once again play, and don't think about trying to change the channel it's on all 3 of them on this standard tv, so everyone who owns a tv will set it" said Agnew "that leaves you 3 hours until the world dies, you will be kept here as my daughter wants you" said Agnew before leaving the room, he then turned around and looked at Dallas and said "happy Halloween", Dallas moved even more "you're a fucking murderer XANA" said Dallas, Agnew turned around and said "what, I haven't killed anybody yet" Dallas then got angry "that man from the hospital, you know the one you sent you're agents after" said Dallas "he was a rouge spectre" said Agnew "what" asked a shocked Dallas "the code went array and he believed he was human, and he even developed a conscious, so when he escaped and tried to warn everyone, I had to have him killed" said Agnew, he the laughed before locking the door.
Back on Lyoko Ulrich was still running with the warriors pursuing him, he stopped at a tower, he looked behind him to see their was quite a distance between him and the warriors
"Jeremie where's the way tower" asked Ulrich, Jeremie started typing bringing up the map "30 degrees north" said Jeremie, Ulrich then realised that standing between him and the way tower was the warriors Ulrich drew his sword before shouting "super sprint" and running towards the warriors, as he drew nearer towards them he then quickly ducked and slid onto his knees and raised his sword and slid between the legs of the centre warrior, in the process he sliced it in half destroying it, Ulrich then got back on his feet at a fast pace and started running again "good job Ulrich" said Jeremie, typing frantically "Aelita, do you see the tower in the forest sector yet" he asked, as Odd, Aelita and Yumi were running away from the way tower "no not yet but were on are way" replied Aelita, then they stopped "what is it" asked Yumi, then Odd froze in position "move" he suddenly shouted as a tree fell blocking their path "what the fuck was that" asked Yumi, Odd then looked up to see a warrior falling towards, sword in hand ready to strike them, thinking fast Odd pushed Aelita and Yumi out of the way before jumping backwards as the warrior landed it turn and started running for Aelita, Odd then started running towards it before jumping in front of it shouting "laser arrow" shooting it in the neck, it was a lucky shot just missing the neck piece, the warrior stumbled backwards dropping its sword, Odd then carried on firing at it, it kept on moving backwards until it fell over just short of the edge of the narrow path, it struggled to get up, Odd turned to face Yumi, "you know what to do" said Odd, Yumi nodded before placing her hands to her forehead, and then using telekinesis she lifted the sword and dropped it straight through the warriors chest, it then exploded "nice one" said Aelita, then they carried on moving, whilst Ulrich stopped at the way tower back in the ice sector, he stopped so he could catch his breath, then a sword just missed him hitting the tower, he turned back to see the 2 warriors running straight at him, he then tried entering the tower he couldn't, he looked up the aura that surrounded the tower was black, "Jeremie I can't enter the tower" said Ulrich, Jeremie started typing when a window appeared "oh no" said Jeremie, the warriors drew closer to Ulrich who then started running towards them with his sword in his hand, "Ulrich you need to remove the sword" said Jeremie, the warrior with the sword swung it at Ulrich he blocked it before jumping and kicking the warrior "then will I be able to use the tower" asked Ulrich, then the warrior went for another swing, Ulrich quickly rolled away, the warrior turned towards him immediately "no you I will have to repair the code, then you'll be able to use it" said Jeremie, the warrior then swung again, Ulrich fell onto his back and then used his feet and kicked the warrior in the chest and propelled it into the air and sent it flying over the edge of the land mass causing it to make it's circular saw scream, Ulrich then started running towards the way tower the sword was lodge in deep, then the second warrior attacked Ulrich, It pushed him out the way, causing Ulrich to slide across the ground the warrior then pulled the sword out of the tower "Jeremie you can begin the repairs" said Ulrich, who at the same time jumped up, the warrior started pursing him again.
Dallas was fidgeting in the chair; he thought for a moment, he then flicked his blade forward, he then looked at the door, and then at the security camera, he manifested eagle sense and dispersed it in the room, the security camera light went off, Dallas smiled and using the blade he started cutting the leather straps, whilst back in the control room, one of the suited men looked at the black screen in puzzlement, Agnew walked over
"taking out the camera won't do much good" said Agnew, whilst in the room, Dallas finished with the strap, it broke apart, he then went to the other one, he unbuckled it , and moved his hands now that they were once again free, he then went to undo the one around his torso, he felt around "fuck" he said as he realised that the buckle was at the back, he rotated his blade and started to cut the straps, cutting into his own shirt and skin, "ah fuck" he said, he got it open, he then slid down and to release himself from the last strap, he then looked at the tv he couldn't check the time but he didn't have to "the time is 10 to 9 and you're watching…" said the announcer on the tv Dallas flicked it off, he then looked at the door, there was no lock on the inside, he then punched the glass, he broke his hand "bulletproof" said Dallas, he then looked up to see and air vent "If there's a will, theirs a way" said Dallas, climbing up the wall, and opening the vent, before starting to climb into it.
Back on Lyoko Ulrich was dealing with the warrior in the ice sector, whilst in the forest sector, Odd, Yumi and Aelita where hiding
"Why do we have to wait for Ulrich" asked Odd, becoming bored by the constant waiting "because, it's best if you're all together especially with these new enemies" replied Jeremie, at that point Ulrich, was in a sword battle "Jeremie how much longer" he asked, as the warrior, swung his sword again, knocking Ulrich's out of his hand, "Ulrich, I've fixed the tower but only so you can enter it if you try and jump down it'll be like jumping into the digital sea" said Jeremie, Ulrich dodged the swings from the warrior then he had an idea "got it" said Ulrich, who then ran and grabbed his sword before running towards the tower, the warrior got closer, and Ulrich stopped, the warrior stopped right in front of him, but Ulrich backed into the tower waving his fingers at the warrior as he phased through the wall, the warrior let out it's circular saw scream, it then followed Ulrich into the tower but as it entered it fell into the black void again letting out it's scream, as Ulrich watched hanging onto the side of the platform before pulling himself up onto it, "how much longer Jeremie" asked Ulrich, Jeremie carried on typing "not much longer" replied Jeremie as he began typing, whilst back at the school Alexa was sitting outside on a park bench, she was watching as some of the younger students, went past in their costumes, all wearing the masks they had acquired from the factory, the younger ones whilst wearing the masks had mismatched costumes they didn't car though, Alexa was both happy and scared at the sight as seeing them happy was always a good sight and scared as after what Dallas said, then she noticed one of the suited men walk onto school campus, he stopped before looking around, he then walked towards the woods, Alexa stared as he walked on, she then reached behind her and grabbed her box and arrows before following him, she had her doubts about him being here, considering she had noticed that all the suited men where to familiar, she then turned back to look at the school then she looked back at the forest to see the suited man had disappeared, she was confused about his sudden disappearance.
Back in the vent Dallas was crawling along, he then noticed that it went upwards, Dallas looked up the wall was too smooth but it was wider, he then thought about using eagle sense but he knew this could alert someone, he then flicked his blade and rotated it and stabbed it into the vent, he then looked through it a wall, he then stabbed it and used it to climb up the vent
"Need to build a second one of these" said Dallas, and then he reached the top and noticed there was a grille, he quickly let go of the vent and held onto the grille, he then placed his legs on a ridge of the vent, "why couldn't they be at the bottom" said Dallas then he pulled down the grille and climbed up, he was at the top of the factory, he looked at the several catwalks that were on the outside, he started walking along one of them, until he reached the ladder before climbing down it "need to inform Jeremie" said Dallas, he then walked towards the place he originally entered in, and climbed in the window, he then walked down the hall and entered the room's with the weapons and grabbed found they had moved all of the weapons, he the then looked around, until he found a double barrel shotgun, he inspected it "here's hoping" he said he then sawed the barrel off, and loaded it before pocketing some ammo for it, he then started walking out of the small room and shutting the door again, he then walked down the hall and found a phone on the wall, he placed down the double barrel shotgun, then he picked up the phone and dialled Jeremie's number and this time he didn't get a voice telling him he couldn't call anyone "Jeremie is that you" asked Dallas, "yeah where the fuck are you" replied Jeremie, Dallas looked around "listen, it's XANA I was right get that tower deactivated and don't launch a return to the past until I give the signal okay" said Dallas, "okay why" asked Jeremie "no time I'll explain later" said Dallas hanging up, he then activated eagle sense and looked around for the elevator, he couldn't find it, then he heard a mechanical noise he hid behind a table, then the wall raised itself, and then 2 suited men exited the elevator, followed by Kelly, Dallas peeked above the table they didn't notice him, he ducked down, and started breathing, then two hands grabbed his jacket and threw him across the tables "well, well look who escaped" said Kelly as Dallas got up from the boxes he'd been thrown into, "yeah well" said Dallas, then Kelly nodded, and the 2 suited men started walking towards him, Dallas raised his hands, then when the first of the two suited men went to grab Dallas's arm, Dallas extended his blade and stabbed the suited man, causing him to lose quality, the second man then went at him, Dallas then remembered he hadn't got a second blade, "right, shit" said Dallas, he then quickly jumped and kicked the first man off his blade, the first then knocked down the second, Dallas then jumped down, and stabbed the second causing him to lose definition, "yeah bitch" said Dallas, Kelly then grabbed him and threw him across the room "you could surrender, and be with me" said Kelly, Dallas stood up and secretly grabbed the shotgun, and placed it under his belt, "I'd rather stab a knife through my tongue into this table" said Dallas, Kelly then jumped at him throwing him through a window, into the gift shop.
Back at the factory, Jeremie was typing, when he heard the elevator began to rise, knowing it wasn't Dallas, Jeremie quickly typed and shutdown the elevator
"if it is Dallas, he'll phone me" said Jeremie, he then carried on typing, whilst Ulrich sat down on the edge of the platform in the tower, "Jeremie you done yet" asked Ulrich, Jeremie finished typing and hit enter and a window appeared with a green circle with a green plus in the middle "you're' good to go" said Jeremie, Ulrich then stood up, and prepared to jump into the black void, when he heard, a circular saw sound, he turned to see another warrior was behind him, Ulrich quickly jumped backwards into the void, the warrior followed him, it drew it's sword ready to attack Ulrich, as it drew closer and as it's blade was closing in on Ulrich in the void, the warrior starting at the blade started to disintegrate as if he was a pile of sand being caught in some strong winds, Ulrich was then thrown out of the tower "ahhhhhh" he screamed as he landed scrapping the ground, "Jeremie where are the others" asked Ulrich standing up, Jeremie pressed a button, "just follow the path in front of you" said Jeremie, "supersprint" shouted Ulrich who then started following the path, Jeremie then leaned back in his chair, he then heard a thumb, he then turned to look at the door, he then hit the a key and the sound of many locks being activated where heard, he smiled knowing he had succeeded, then he noticed that a man shaped figure began to walk through the tiny spaces between each of the metals then began to expand back into the suited man, whilst moving towards him, "who are you" asked Jeremie, the suited man carried on walking towards him, when he reached the computer he grabbed Jeremie and through him across the room, Jeremie then hit the wall, wounding him, the suited man then sat down before typing, Jeremie then quickly raised his hand and then the room started to lose light as if losing power and then the suited man looked around, then a cable burst through the wall impaling the suited man causing him to lose quality and then the cable moved pinning him into the wall, Jeremie stood up weak from the use of his Lyoko power and his weakness added to that fact, Jeremie sat down in his chair, moving towards the computer he then looked at what the suited man had done, "oh no" said Jeremie, he then began typing to find he had erased several programs "Aelita" said Jeremie placing his headphone in his ear
Authors note
It just occurred to me that this is the first mention I've ever made of the headphone
Ulrich was still running when he stopped at the others "guys it's me" said Ulrich, Odd stepped out with his arm raised "thank god" said Odd, lowering his arm "yes Jeremie" said Aelita, Odd turned around to see Aelita was sitting down communicating with Jeremie "Aelita, XANA has erased the DE virtualization codes for the others, don't move until I've reprogramed them" said Jeremie, "okay" said Aelita she then stood up, "what is it princess" asked Ulrich , Aelita thought if she should tell them or not "XANA has deleted you're DE virtualization codes and Jeremie's retyping them now" said Aelita, the others then looked at each other "okay what do we do until then" asked Yumi, "Jeremie said to stay here" replied Aelita, "okay there are 3 entrances, we all take one and cover them until then" said Odd, they all nodded, then stood at each of the arches in their hollowed out tree trunk, then Odd was hit by a blast, and he looked as 3 of the warriors and 2 crabs started moving along the path way "guys" said Odd, not moving his head away from the threat that was moving towards them "What" asked Ulrich, "you might want to take a look at this" said Odd, Ulrich and Yumi then turned their heads and saw them, "oh shit" said Ulrich "you're kidding you're side as well" said Yumi, "what" shouted Ulrich before noticing the same amount of XANA's monsters where on Yumi's side, he then looked at his side the same thing "Aelita I need you to cover my arch I'm no good at long range" said Ulrich, Aelita then started singing and then Ulrich's arch was filled up "okay we need to fight them off" said Ulrich "any ideas how we can do that" asked Yumi, Ulrich turned and gave her a grim look.
Back at the factory, Kelly was going through the gift shop trying to find Dallas, who was moving behind some of the tables with novelties, Kelly was darting her head backwards and forwards looking for him, then she heard a noise, and started walking towards it, Dallas hadn't made that noise he then looked above the table to see someone had broken in through the window, he then started moving along towards where Kelly was, then he heard a scream and saw that she had the cash register from the store in her hands and was about to throw it at a burglar who had broken into the shop
"please don't hurt me" he said as he was backing away from her until he was up against the wall, "you will die" said Kelly who then went to throw the register, when suddenly it was blown out of her hands as there was a gunshot she turned back, allowing the burglar to run, Kelly saw Dallas standing on a table holding the double barrel shotgun "lady I'm afraid I'm going to have to have to ask you to leave the store" said Dallas, Kelly then charged at him, Dallas then quickly shot threw down the shotgun and then jumped at her himself, they collided in mid-air, Dallas gained the upper hand knocking her into the ground, but she threw him upwards knocking him into cashiers desk, he stood up, she then stood up herself "feisty you are, I'm going to enjoy keeping you" said Kelly, "I'm only 14" said Dallas, Kelly charged at him again, she struck him smashing him through a wall and onto one of the cars causing the thing to dent, Dallas then extended his blade and stabbed her in the rib, before quickly manifesting eagle sense and dispersing enough energy to knock her off him, Dallas then stood up and jumped back into the store, Kelly got up and jumped back in as well following Dallas, she then grabbed hold off him, and threw him through him out of the shop, Dallas used eagle sense and landed on his feet, he looked around before seeing a ladder, he then started climbing it, Kelly jumped out of the store and started following him, Dallas reached the top of the ladder which led to a catwalk, Dallas quickly thought for a moment before placing his shotgun back in his belt, Kelly reached the top and started walking after him on the catwalk, Dallas looked down to see that the catwalk was 60 foot drop onto the factory roof, Dallas looked back to see Kelly was right in front of him she started punching him, Dallas then returned a few punches striking her in the stomach, "you can't hit me I'm a girl" said Kelly Dallas stopped punching "you're right" said Dallas, who then quickly drew the shotgun and fired into Kelly's foot, causing her to topple over the hand rails, but she quickly grabbed Dallas's collar and pulled down on him causing his neck to be pulled down on the handrail, "if you let go of the handrail you'll fall with me, and I'll use you to cushion my fall" said Kelly, Dallas then grabbed his shotgun, "you've fired you're shot" said Kelly, Dallas smiled and said "yeah well I reloaded" said Dallas, Kelly was furious she screamed "you will die, you mother fucking, you think you'll be a hero just because you'll save the world, no one will see you as good", Dallas then pointed the gun at Kelly's face "the good, the bad" said Dallas, he then pulled the trigger, the bullet raced out of the barrel hitting Kelly in the face, causing blood to pour out and for her to let go of Dallas's collar and drop and fall towards the factory "I'm the guy with the gun" finished Dallas, then he saw Kelly's body land on top of the factory, causing a crack in the roof then her body rolled onto the skylight atop of the factory, Dallas watched this then he reloaded the shotgun then turned and looked behind him to see a security camera, he turned to face it and said "XANA, you're next", he then pulled the trigger of the gun shooting the camera clean off the wall.
Back on Lyoko, Odd was firing his laser arrows at the warriors they were slowly advancing on the warrior's, Odd wasn't having much success
"Odd take aim for the crabs" shouted Yumi, Odd then nodded then aimed higher and shot at one of the crabs, he hit one destroying it "yes" he said, then he fired another laser arrow, he missed the crab as he shot to low, but hit a warrior, then it started going Bezerk, swinging it's sword in every direction, Ulrich noticed then looked at the warrior, he then shouted "aim for the eyepiece", Odd then started concentrating his fire, and started shooting towards the warriors eyes "Jeremie goanna need some more arrows" said Odd, Jeremie started typing "okay you good to go" said Jeremie, Odd then shot another of the warriors in the eye causing it to swing erratically, the only warrior that wasn't damaged then destroyed the other 2 then started moving at a faster pace towards the Lyoko warriors, Ulrich drew his sword and kept it at his eye level, then started running towards the warrior, he then turned his head back "Odd help Yumi" shouted Ulrich who then jumped with his sword and stuck the warrior in the neck, it then started to move around and grabbed it's neck and held it with one hand as if it had been slit, he stumbled backwards wards until he was at the leg of the crab, Ulrich then quickly ran up the tree, and grabbed a vine, the crab then started shooting at him, Ulrich held onto the vine and grabbed his sword and started running up the wall, with the vine in hand, "Odd, give him cover" said Yumi she threw her fans striking one of her crabs, whilst the other shot at her, Aelita then kneeled down and started to sing causing the floor to disappear below two of the warriors in Yumi's path "way to go Aelita" said Yumi, whilst Ulrich reached the top of the vine, he looked down, "here goes nothing" said Ulrich, who then using his sword and still holding onto it he cut the vine, this caused him to fall towards the ground, he then placed his feet on the tree, and started to use supersprint whilst running down the tree, he then started to gain enough speed that he was digging into the tree with his feet, when he almost hit the ground he jumped and landed on the ground going faster than he ever had before, he used the vine and wrapped it around the warrior and tied the crabs legs together before running through the tree and starting to the tie the others together, then Ulrich ran back now screaming at the rate he was going and the pain it was bringing him, he then cut of the crabs legs off causing it to topple over and off the side of the path and due to the weight it started to drag the other group of monsters as well, "yeah Ulrich" said Yumi but what Yumi didn't know was she was in the way of the other group, "watch out" shouted Ulrich who then dashed and pushed her out of the way, as the second group was dragged off the edge of the land mass into the digital sea below, Ulrich then went to raise his arm in celebration but he collapsed, Yumi turned from looking at where they had fallen, to see Ulrich collapsed on the floor, her face turn from a happy one to a shocked one, she rushed over to Ulrich, and rolled him onto his back "Jeremie is he okay" asked Yumi who undid Ulrich's head band trying, whilst Jeremie started typing furiously "I don't know at the moment" said Jeremie whilst still typing "Ulrich" screamed Yumi, whilst attempting CPR on Ulrich.
Back at the factory Dallas was moving along the catwalks trying to back into the factory so he could use the elevators, he stopped at the end before climbing down; at the bottom he noticed 30 suited men exited the factory
"Shit" said Dallas, he then started to move alongside any piece of cover he could find, and then he found a security booth, he looked inside, with his hand above his eyes, then he opened the door and moved inside and looked at the clock on the wall, the time was 9:30, Dallas then looked and he saw the security feed of several cars moving out of the factory gates, Dallas was relived at the sight he turned around, a suited man stood their Dallas tried raising the gun, but the suited man grabbed Dallas's right arm and broke it, Dallas screamed at the pain, then the suited man using his strength ripped of Dallas's leatherjackets arm, before throwing Dallas out of the security booth, Dallas looked at his arm, then he looked up at the suited man walking towards him, Dallas then started crawling away, his crossbow was being held by XANA so he was defenceless, he looked at his broken arm before grabbing I with his other one and snapped it back in position "fuck that hurts" said Dallas, then he moved his fingers, before standing up the suited man kept on walking towards him, Dallas threw a punch in its face, "oh yeah" said Dallas, he then tackle the suited and smashed him back into the security booth, the suited man then looked to his side and grabbed the shotgun, he then aimed it at Dallas, the later quickly noticed and jumped backwards, the suited man shot hitting Dallas in his left kneecap, twisting the leg, Dallas looked up as the suited man walked towards him and aimed the gun down on Dallas, the later then grabbed the suited man's leg and using his blade stabbed him in the leg causing him to fall over, Dallas then flung himself forward and stabbed the suited man in the chest causing the low definition effect to take place, Dallas retracted his blade then looked at his leg, the first thing he noticed was that his blue trousers had become black from all of the moving around, he then looked at his knee and watched as the wound healed, he stood up, but collapsed again due to the pain, "fuck the bullet must be lodged deeper than I thought" said Dallas, he then looked around himself at the smashed remains of the security booth "it'll take too long to regrow my leg" said Dallas, he then grabbed some of the metal from the booth and took off the suited man's belt, as soon as it came off it regained quality, Dallas then quickly grabbed some screws and placed made a knee brace "that should help" said Dallas, he stood up, their wasn't as much pain, then he grabbed his jacket sleeve, and placed it in his pocket, he picked up the shotgun then he noticed one of the security guards holster, Dallas looked at it before placing it around his right leg and then he grabbed the shotgun and reloaded it, before placing it in his new holster, then he noticed he did a quick search of the booth finding nothing useful, except a pair of handcuffs and a radio, he used his blade and unscrewed the radio and found a tracker in it that was at the centre of the radio, he then threw it away then he stood up and then he noticed his reflection in a smashed piece of glass, he looked familiar, but he shook his head and moved on back towards the factory.
Back on Lyoko the warriors had forgotten in the confusion and about last group of XANA's monsters, that were waiting on the 3rd path, whilst Yumi placed her head to Ulrich's chest trying to listen for a heartbeat
"Yumi, you're virtual forms don't have internal organs" said Jeremie typing franticly "well do you know if he's going to be okay" asked Yumi, from a small distance Odd and Aelita looked at each other, Jeremie then brought up a window with Ulrich's virtual form on it "guy's good news is, he is alive" said Jeremie, Yumi raised her head "but" she asked, "he's going to need some time to recover" replied Jeremie, Yumi then grabbed Ulrich's arm and placed it over her shoulder "are you guys going to help me" asked Yumi, Aelita then looked at Odd, and ran over and took Ulrich's other arm, she then let go off Ulrich and grabbed his katana in its holster and took it off Ulrich, and placed it around her waist, "just in case" said Aelita, she then grabbed Ulrich's arm again, and she and Yumi started carrying Ulrich towards the tower, "girl power" said Odd, then he heard something and turned around to see that the wall Aelita had created in the arch was being cut through "go, go, go, go" shouted Odd, then he started running after the girls, then suddenly the wall collapsed and the 3 warriors started moving forward, one stopped and turned back and looked at the crabs which then turned around and walked away then the warrior caught up to the other two, whilst the Lyoko warriors were moving forward towards the tower, "Jeremie how much further" asked Aelita Jeremie started typing "not too far" replied Jeremie, then the tower came into view, unfortunately so did the warriors, "I'll take care of them" said Odd, before he started running at them, Jeremie finished typing "okay guys the manual materialization codes are ready, but you will still be lost forever if DE virtualized by XANA" said Jeremie, "what does that mean" asked Yumi, who placed down Ulrich against a tree "you will only return to earth if I do it" said Jeremie, "in that case materialize Ulrich" said Yumi looking at Ulrich "no" said a voice, Yumi and Aelita turned to look at Ulrich "yes Ulrich you're in not state to carry on" said Yumi, Ulrich stood up, Aelita undid her belt and handed Ulrich back his sword "I can carry on" said Ulrich, then he looked as Odd shot more arrows at the warriors, Ulrich then took his sword and was about to charge at the warriors, but Yumi grabbed his arm "no don't you'll die" said Yumi, Ulrich looked back at her then at Odd, "I've got to help him" said Ulrich, who then started running at a normal pace towards the warrior's with his sword in his hands, when he suddenly shouted "supersprint" and took off at his lightning fast speed with his sword striking, one of the warriors clean through the chest puncturing the armour and smashing straight through it and then he withdrew his sword, and then jumped stabbed the second of the three in the eye causing it to stumble backwards, but then it looked at Ulrich, for he had stabbed it in the wrong eye, it then charged at Ulrich, who then ducked and tripped it onto it's back, and then stabbed it through its chest, Yumi then threw her fans both of them striking the last warrior in the neck it held its neck, then as it stumbled backwards Ulrich jumped with his sword and cut the head off the warrior causing it to roll of the side of the path and the body to fall onto its knees before exploding, "Aelita the paths clear" shouted Odd, then Aelita started running towards the tower before stopping and passing through the wall, and then she started to levitate towards the top platform, she landed on it, causing the blue screen to appear she placed her hand on it the word Aelita appeared then the words Code Lyoko, the tower turned from red to blue, but the blue screens didn't descend into the black void "Jeremie what's going on" asked Aelita, Jeremie did some typing "Aelita you need to deactivate the tower" said Jeremie, the Lyoko warriors outside the tower looked at the tower "uh Jeremie it is deactivated" said Ulrich, Jeremie did some typing "that can't be" said Jeremie, "what" asked Yumi "the tower was covering for another tower" said Jeremie.
Back at the factory, Dallas walked into the reception room, his knee brace stopping any chance of surprise he could have had, but he didn't care, he then went to the door that lead towards Agnew's collection of novelties, he placed his hand on the door handle and tried to open it, it was locked Agnew watched this on a security feed and laughed, then he watched as Dallas stepped back and drew the sawn-off from his holster and shot the door lock and then pushed it open and walked down the stairs
"Very resourceful" said Agnew, as he watched Dallas walked down the stairs slowly, and then he looked at the novelties before grabbed the shot gun again and smashed the glass cases, and then threw them on the floor before moving through the door into the factory room, it was empty and the mess from the earlier fight hadn't been cleaned up, he looked at the skylight there was a suited man on it about to pick up Kelly's body, Dallas then looked at where it was placed it was above a giant tub of the liquid material used to make the masks, he remember from the tour this was very hot stuff, then he noticed it was open "goanna try and bring her back, hey XANA" said Dallas he then quickly drew his gun once more and shot the skylight causing it to collapse, and the suited man along with Kelly's body to fall into the tub, making a giant splash in the liquid, Dallas then watched as the suited man with a face that was burnt and with the liquid taking apart his face fall try to escape from the tub, Dallas reloaded his gun and sheathed it, before walking through to the next room, but stopped upon hearing a voice "why not leave with your life" Dallas realised it was Agnew on the loud speaker, Dallas carried on moving "because I could stay here and have the same thing" said Dallas, he then looked around the room, before looking at a clock 9:45, he then used eagle sight and looked at a the wall, it was red but the elevator was in gold, he walked over to the location, before looking at the wall next to it, he then placed his hand against the wall, it then moved backwards and slid into the wall, there was a button, Dallas pressed it the door opened to reveal the elevator "seal off the elevator" said Agnew, Dallas then stepped inside and pressed the button, it didn't close or move "fuckin brilliant" said Dallas angrily.
"Wait what do, you mean it was covering for another tower" said Odd, wandering around "XANA activated that tower to cover the traces for the real tower which should now be visibly activated" said Jeremie, who was typing and launching the scan for the towers, "and where is that tower" asked Ulrich, Jeremie looked at the screen before, the tower had finally been found "it's in the mountain sector" said Jeremie, Yumi looked at Aelita as she exited the tower "where's the tower to that sector" asked Yumi, "this way" said Aelita who then pointed east, she then started running in the direction she had just pointed towards, the other Lyoko warriors then started following her, whilst Jeremie got back to work on the materialization programs for Ulrich, Odd and Yumi, when they stopped outside the way tower when they saw the tower's aura was black, they hid behind a tree, as the silvers warriors struck their sword's into the tower, "um, Jeremie" said Odd, "I know, you'll have to back track through the sectors" said Jeremie, the Lyoko warriors looked at each other, then they started to move back along the path, when one of the silver warriors darted towards the warrior's, it removed it's sword from the tower and then started giving chase, Ulrich looked backwards to see this before saying "how many of these things are their" asked Ulrich, the warriors then reached the other way tower, the warriors had not yet reached this one, they all passed through the wall and then jumped into the black void below, sending them into the ice sector, they walked out of the tower, "okay where's the other way tower" asked Yumi, Aelita looked around the blizzard was still raging "I don't know, Jeremie" said Aelita, Jeremie then typed in on the computer "just keep going forward" replied Jeremie, the warrior's did just that.
Back at the factory, Dallas was looking at the elevator, he then looked at the floor, and he got down on one knee and looked at the floor, he then used his blade and removed the floor panel but there were circuits, in the way and below that another sheet of metal
"been real busy haven't you XANA" said Dallas, then he looked up "you'll never reach us" said Agnew over the loud speaker, Dallas then removed the hatch at the top of the elevator, he then climbed up and looked at the cable it was metal, then he looked at the mechanism, "where is he" asked Agnew looking at all the security feeds in his control room, Dallas then drew his shotgun "hey XANA" shouted Dallas, "I can hear you, but I can't see you" said Agnew, "good you know you said I wouldn't be able to reach you" said Dallas, "yes and you never will" said Agnew, "Yippee-Ki-yay, Motherfuckker" shouted Dallas as he pulled the trigger of the shotgun, the bullet struck the mechanism causing it to lose its grip of the elevator cable, and the elevator to begin to descend at a rapid rate, until it crashed at the bottom of the shaft, Dallas was killed in the crash, with his forehead cut open just underneath his hair with blood dripping out of it, his eyes then darted open, he felt his forehead and was about to heal when he thought for a moment, 'what if the hospital staff do a check-up and find theirs no cut' after that thought Dallas decided to leave it for now, he then jumped down into the elevator, and looked at the door, before shoving his blade between the two metal doors, then he manifested eagle sense and forced the door's open, then he stepped out of the elevator wreck, then he started to move along a metal corridor, he drew the shotgun and reloaded it, before moving along with it in hand, when a suited man came into view he fire the gun at him, causing him to fall over the low quality effect hadn't taken place as the suited man wasn't dead, Dallas walked over and stood on the suited man's neck, before aiming the gun and shooting the suited man again, this time in the head, the gunshots alerted Agnew, he looked at the corridor "seal that door" shouted Agnew then a metal door came down, and a suited man with a blow torch sealed it at the base, Dallas ran towards the door, as it closed "fuck" he shouted before looking up and smiling.
Back on Lyoko Ulrich, Aelita, Yumi and Odd entered the desert sector and started running as fast as they could towards the other way tower when they heard Jeremie
"eureka" whilst running Ulrich asked "what is it Jeremie", Jeremie then closed down a window on the computer screen "I've finished the materialization program's for you, Odd and Yumi, so you're good" said Jeremie, "just in time" said Odd, as the Lyoko warrior stopped as 3 suited men walked towards them "we can't outrun them and Aelita, we need to save your life points" said Yumi, the Lyoko warriors looked at each other "any ideas" said Odd, "yeah one" said Ulrich, who then handed Aelita his sword, "Jeremie prepare to DE virtualize me" said Ulrich, Jeremie then readied the program "why" asked Jeremie, "when I say now" replied Ulrich, who then shouted "supersprint" and then charged at the warriors and as he got closer he opened his arms before knocking into two of the warriors before running off the edge of the land mass "now" shouted Ulrich and Jeremie hit enter DE virtualizing him as the two warriors fell into the digital sea below, Ulrich arrived back in his scanner, he collapsed out of it before crawling towards the elevator, whilst back on Lyoko Odd looked at the remaining warrior, "go I'll take care of him" said Odd, Yumi looked at Aelita before grabbing her wrist, and pulled her towards the way tower, the warrior looked at them "hey bucket head" shouted Odd with his arm raised, Odd then fired his arrow's it dented the warrior who then let out it's scream before charging at Odd, who then jumped backwards and fired another arrow into the warriors eye, causing it to go mad and stumble backwards and off the edge of the land, Odd then started running after Yumi and Aelita who had just entered the way tower.
Back at the factory, Dallas was crawling through the vents Agnew was unaware of this and had several suited men stationed at the door with shotguns
"now I know what a tv dinner feels like" said Dallas, he then started rattling the air vent, then he looked through a hatch as Agnew gave a signal, then the suited men started shooting through the metal sheet, believing Dallas was still behind it, Dallas then carried on through the vent, until he had to go down, he started to climb-down as quietly as he could, he then slipped but used eagle sense so he didn't fall and alert Agnew, he reached the bottom and then placed his ear against the vent, "if he's behind their he's dead at the moment" said Agnew, Dallas realised he was behind Agnew, he pulled the shotgun out of the holster and using what little space he had he placed it against the vent wall and pulled the trigger, there was a tremendous scream the bullet had struck Agnew in the back, it hadn't killed him, he fell over in pain Dallas then used eagle sense and jumped up, as the suited men started shooting at the empty vent, Dallas then holstered his gun and then used his blade and cut open the section of vent he was in and he fell through onto the floor, he then raised his hands as the suited men where all pointing theirs at him, Agnew stood up limping "put him down" said Agnew, Dallas looked and realised something, "what no last requests" asked Dallas, Agnew grabbed him by the neck and held him above the ground "not for you have destroyed my world" said Agnew "yeah well you're trying to destroy this one" said Dallas who then quickly drew the shotgun and pulled the trigger pointing at the bottom stand off the glass cases of the lethal animals causing it to collapse and all the animals to swarm out and attack the suited men.
Back on Lyoko Odd, Aelita and Yumi where running straight towards the activated tower, when they noticed 2 crabs
"Jeremie how many life points do me and Odd have left" asked Yumi, Jeremie typed quickly "20 each" said Jeremie, who then turned as the elevator opened to reveal a limping Ulrich, who limped over to Jeremie, "Yumi can you get me high enough" asked Odd, "yeah but it will DE virtualize me and the fall will do the same to you" said Yumi, Odd nodded as Yumi placed her hand to her forehead and then Odd began to levitate, he then fired one of his arrows and destroyed a crab at this point Yumi, began to lose texture and became a blue square outline which then disappeared, Odd began to fall where he landed on the path and the same happened, this left Aelita and a crab "no Aelita" shouted Jeremie who then began typing quickly, he then got up out of his chair "where are you going" asked Ulrich who coughed in the middle of the sentence "to Lyoko" he said, but on Lyoko Aelita started running towards the crab, she drew Ulrich's sword and cut off the crabs front legs causing it to topple over "yes Aelita" said Jeremie just noticing the development, Aelita then entered the tower and started to levitate towards the top platform and then she placed her hand on the blue screen, and the word Aelita appeared then the words Code Lyoko, "aren't you going to launch a return to the past" asked Ulrich, "Not yet" replied Jeremie.
The suited men disappeared, Agnew stood up from the animals that where surrounding the room
"no, no, no" he said then Dallas started to move towards him, Agnew stood up and then started limping away into another elevator, before pressing the button and as the doors closed he said "you'll never stop me", then the elevator went up, Dallas then grabbed his crossbow off the side and ran into the room he was being held hostage in, he then climbed up the vent and out of the factory, he noticed Agnew get in a car and he drove out of the gates, Dallas looked around "I need to destroy the factory" he said, he jumped down, despite his knee, then he found some barrels off petroleum before rolling them into the factory, then he grabbed a lighter off the side in the reception room, and set a trail outside, he needed to stop Agnew, he then found a black 1973 ford falcon XB GT with an air scoop he then started the car and light the fuse with the lighter, before driving the car away as the factory exploded going up in flames.
Dallas drove through an empty town all the inhabitants were spectres, Dallas then noticed several crashed cars he carried on before looking at the clock on in the car it was 10:35, he then noticed a freshly crashed car it was Agnew's he stopped and pulled up and grabbed the hand cuffs, Agnew was in pain on the floor, Dallas walked behind him and dropped the hand cuffs and placed his gun to the back of Agnew's head
"ankle" said Dallas, Agnew then handcuffed his ankle, Dallas then grabbed the hand cuff and dragged Agnew towards the car crash and handcuffed him "you can't win a return to the past will only restart these event's" said Agnew, Dallas was listening as he found a hacksaw and then grabbed a car light and broke it and emptied it, and placed it under the leaking gas from the car crash "what are you doing" asked Agnew, Dallas placed the lighter next to the car light then walked back to Agnew "the chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this" said Dallas showing Agnew the hacksaw, "now if you're lucky you can hack through you're ankle in five" said Dallas before dropping the hack saw and walking back towards his car "you can't leave me" said Agnew, "I made you what you are" said Agnew, Dallas took no notice as he drove forward and looked back in his rear view mirror as the wreckage exploded killing Agnew in the process, he then drove onwards for 23 minutes, until he reached a gas station he drew his shotgun, it was the same gas station that the man had collapsed at, "hey what are you doing" said the worker, Dallas held the shotgun, "I need you phone, I won't hurt you either way I just need your god damn phone" said Dallas, the worker pointed at it Dallas sheathed the shotgun before grabbing the phone he checked the time the clock said 10:59, then several children, walked in after candy, the worker gave them some, Dallas looked at the tv as the children turned it on they were all wearing the Vira masks, "hey mister nice costume, surely it's cold though" said the worker Dallas turned to look at him, some time passed Dallas was still on the phone
"…if it goes on, it means the death of millions of people, everyone watching, don't you understand that? Well… well say it's a bomb then, say whatever you want, just get it off the air! Please, you jus… no, n I can't prove it, you gotta believe me! Believe me! Take it off the air now, please! You've got to, it…" the commercial came on the children then watched it then the TV turned black with the words displayed Please excuse the interruption, we're having Technical problems, please stand by, the children changed the channel, the same message, then they changed to the 3rd channel it was still playing
"The third channel, it's still on. Please take off the third channel. The third channel, it's still running. Stop it, please, please for God's sake, please stop it. There's no more time! Please stop it. Stop it now. Turn it off! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
