(=======================================================================)
What many had hoped would be a calm day, turned out to be one, except for the year long rivalry of Dallas and Adam had finally been noticed by some of the staff members and because of this the two had been sent to see Delmas, none of the three parties were happy about this,
"According to the report you two have been at each others throats for over a year now" said Delmas as he sat down at his desk pressing his glasses into his face, "well you call it at each other, last I checked I was winning" Said Dallas, Adam sighed at the comment, "well if you stopped being such an annoying piece of shit" said Adam then he noticed Dallas was doing mouth motions with his hand, "what you fuc…" started Adam then Delmas raised his voice "THIS NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY", Dallas and Adam looked towards Delmas, "it will as soon as Adam admits defeat" said Dallas, Adam clenched his fist and stood up pointing towards the former "just expel him from school for crying out loud" said Adam, then Delmas signalled for Adam to sit back into the chair, the latter did so, "tell me why I should expel him instead of you" said Delmas, Adam knew he had to be smart about this, "because I'm a real asset to this school" said Adam, "you're only off by two letters" said Dallas, then Adam looked as if he was gonna punch Dallas, then Delmas raised his voice again "THAT'S ENOUGH THE BOTH OF YOU" then he lowered his voice, "now I'm going to read a list of what you two have been reported to do to each other" said Delmas, then he pulled out a clipboard "Dallas you reported Adam several times for the attempted theft of your property" said Delmas, then Adam said "that's bullshit" Delmas looked at him, "Adam has reported you for several accounts of verbal harassment" said Delmas, Dallas nodded as if he was accepting the charges, "Dallas has filled a more serious accusation claiming that you stole and published some of Dallas work as your own" Said Delmas, "that is total horse shit, I wrote that" replied Adam, Delmas gave Adam a stern look "if you keep interrupting I might be forced to drop all complaints towards Mr Marshal" said Delmas, then Delmas moved the paper from his clipboard to the next piece, "ah this is the more serious one, it says that you replaced Adam's after shave with chloroform" said Delmas, then Dallas instead of denying it started to laugh, Adam rolled his eyes then looked towards Delmas who seemed to be struggling not to laugh himself, "that's all you are just words, all talk and no muscle to show for it, hiding behind these one liners of yours, I bet I coul…" said Adam then Dallas punched him around the face knocking him back into the chair "you were saying Sir" said Dallas as Adam felt his jaw, Delmas knew that Adam was losing his cool, "back to the matter at hand, this is a serious allegation" said Delmas, Dallas stood up and sat on Delmas's desk looking at him, "He was planning to go on a date with your daughter I thought I did both you and her a favour" said Dallas, whilst unknown to everyone in the room, Delmas's sectary had turned on the intercom and was playing it aloud in the waiting room for The Warriors and Sissi's gang to hear,
"That's why he stood me up" said Sissi, then the warriors placed there fingers to there mouths and went "SHHH" to Sissi as they carried on listening, "you disgust me" said Adam, as he walked towards the door having had enough of this, "you're right I did discuss you, with everyone I know, we all found you annoying" said Dallas, Delmas then slammed his hand into the desk, "okay both of you get out of my sight until I can think of what to do with you" said Delmas, then the two walked out of the room, "you know I could tell you over heard the conversation" said Dallas as Ulrich handed him his crossbow, "Nothing gets past you does it" said Odd as they walked out of the room, "MARSHAL" shouted Adam, the warriors stopped and turned around, "yes honey" said Dallas this only served to further anger Adam, "I'm getting sick of you" replied Adam, Dallas turned around and responded "the feelings mutual", then Yumi placed her hand on Dallas's chest "leave it" she said, Dallas smiled and then the warriors moved on.
(=======================================================================)
The news about the argument spread fast enough, but no one seemed to care too much about it; Yumi left the girls room and noticed Cameron sitting on a bench shuffling a deck of cards,
"That lonely you play cards by yourself" she asked jokingly, Cameron looked up, "how do you think I got the nick name pride" he answered jokingly, "no these are tarot cards" he added, Yumi was suddenly interested, she'd heard of them but didn't know much about them "what are they" she asked as she sat down, "well you could chose some cards and they represent your life" said Cameron as he held out the cards in a fan like manner, "how many do I chose exactly" asked Yumi as she reached towards one of the cards "just three" answered Cameron, then Yumi pulled out the three, she then placed them down, Cameron then shuffled them into the deck before holding the cards in the fan position again, "now another three" he said, then Yumi followed the instruction and repeated the process, "now the order of the cards determines your life" said Cameron as flipped over the first card "Number 10, Fortune" he said, "what does that mean" asked Yumi, Cameron smiled then he knew he had to explain the process, "it symbolizes fate, luck and fortune" he said, Yumi was confused "so all of these things have happened" she said, Cameron nodded, then he flipped the second card, "Number 6, the lovers" said Cameron, Yumi knew that it was pretty accurate thus far, "that means that you will soon if not already find love, but it also means you'll have to make a decision soon" said Cameron, Yumi was slightly off put by the card, "and the last" said Cameron then he flipped the card "Number 3, the empress" he said, this intrigued Yumi as it didn't explain much "what does that one mean" she asked, Cameron looked up at her and answered "it means mothers, IE maintaining peace like a mother would, perhaps it has something to with the decision" he started to chuckle towards the end of the sentence, "so this represents my life" said Yumi, Cameron nodded and said "yes but only apart of it", Yumi smiled and stood up "thanks was a rather fun experience".
(=======================================================================)
Half an hour later the warriors were sitting in the cafeteria, doing what they usually did for lunch, Yumi had explained the experience with the cards,
"So Pride did the Tarot cards did he" said Dallas before chuckling, "I personally don't believe in it" said Odd as he took a mouthful of food, "I do, it predicted my future once" said Dallas, the others looked at him "long story" he said, Ulrich smiled, "I might give it a try, what about you Jeremie" said Ulrich, Jeremie shook his head, "no I'm too busy for that" he replied, Dallas chuckled and took a sip of his drink "you're missing out" he said, then they heard a tray drop, "what did you say you dumb fuck" said Adam as he held Gareth by the collar, "I think with the argument you bring it upon yourself" said Gareth, Adam curled his fist ready to punch him, but decided against it, "when you first arrived you were okay" said Adam, then he pushed Gareth away, "what's his problem" asked Jeremie, Dallas turned back and replied "what isn't", before drinking more of his coffee.
(=======================================================================)
Knocking on Cameron's Door Ulrich was wondering what Cameron could tell him about his future, then Cameron opened the door,
"Ulrich, what can I do for you" he asked, Ulrich scratched the back of his head, "well Yumi told me you do Tarot readings" said Ulrich, Cameron smiled and replied "I should go into business doing this, come on in", then he led Ulrich into the room, the first thing Ulrich noticed was that Cameron shared a room with Gareth, and whilst Gareth was a mess, Cameron was fairly organized, Ulrich sat down as Cameron held out the cards "choose three" he said, the Ulrich pulled out three cards and Cameron took the cards and shuffled the cards back into the deck and then Ulrich drew another three before placing them down, "okay lets see what you got" said Cameron then he flipped the first card over, "Number 10, Fortune" he said Ulrich smiled "does this mean I'll get money or something" he asked half serious and half joking, "no it symbolizes Fate, Luck and Fortune" said Cameron then he flipped the second card and was the same as what he had gotten for Yumi, "that's funny Yumi got the same as you" said Cameron, Ulrich looked at it "Number 6" he asked, Cameron looked at him "the lovers, that means that you will soon if not already find love, but it also means you'll have to make a decision soon" said Cameron, he was confused by the double reading, but thought nothing off it, "that's two for two" said Cameron then he flipped the third card, "okay not the exact same then, Number 4, The emperor, it means that you will at some point desire to control your surroundings" said Cameron, Ulrich was confused, "well I had hope for some answers but I'm more confused" said Ulrich as he stood up, "sorry" replied Cameron.
(=======================================================================)
On Lyoko Aelita was walking through the Mountain sector, it was the first time in a few attacks that she could freely walk through it,
"I wonder if I'll be able to have walks like this On Earth" said Aelita, then she looked around thinking she saw an activated tower but she was just getting slightly paranoid, "I must be going mad" said Aelita, whilst on Earth in Cameron's and Gareth's room a plug socket suddenly began to spark and a black slime began to ooze from it, suddenly the ooze began to move towards Cameron's Deck it then touched and began to cover the deck before moving from visibility, suddenly the door opened with Cameron walking in saying,
"Hang on just let me get my deck", then he picked up his deck and placed it into a small box on his belt.
(=======================================================================)
Since it was a Saturday lessons had ended early and the warriors were sitting in the woods, and whilst the majority of the group were sitting and chatting, Jeremie was sitting underneath the tree typing on his laptop,
"so how did your reading go Ulrich" asked Yumi, Ulrich looked towards her, "Went okay, I was a little confused though" he replied, Dallas leaned forward having been lying on his back, "from my past experience, you need to give it time" said Dallas, Odd laughed "listen to yourselves" he said, Dallas threw a pebble at him, "I'll have you know, that they have been accurate for me before" said Dallas, then he laid back down closing his eyes, "I wonder if those cards can predict the future in general" asked Yumi, Dallas turned his head towards her and said "I've never asked him to try it", then Yumi and Ulrich looked at each other "why don't we ask him" she said, then Ulrich smiled, "I mean what's the worst that could happen" he said, then Dallas jumped to his feet, "lets go then, you coming Jeremie" said Dallas, Jeremie shook his head, "I'm afraid not I'm a little behind on my program" replied Jeremie, Dallas smiled and looked at Odd, "I doubt you want to come" he said as Ulrich and Yumi walked ahead, "nah someone has got to keep Jeremie company" replied Odd, then Dallas walked after Ulrich and Yumi.
(=======================================================================)
Cameron was sitting in an empty classroom, he was shuffling his cards, he was looking out of the window at the same time, and then without even looking he knew Ulrich, Yumi and Dallas walk into the room,
"they haven't let me down yet" said Cameron, then the three warriors pulled out some chairs, "you knew we were coming then" said Ulrich, Cameron looked towards them "yeah, the cards told me" he replied before chuckling, "that answers the question of if they can predict the future then" said Yumi, Cameron held out the cards, "Dallas, choose three cards" said Cameron, Dallas then did the routine and Cameron in turn did his part, Dallas then drew the three cards and placed them down, "this is interesting" said Cameron, Dallas was confused "how so" he asked, "well two of the cards are upside down, these have different effects and considering all of these predict your future" said Cameron, then he flipped the first card, "Number 15, The devil, this of course means that you'll run into someone who has an urge to do selfish, impulsive, violent things" said Cameron, Dallas knew that this meant a XANA attack something he already knew would happen, then Cameron flipped the second card, "Number 10, wow that's a popular one today, upside down it means bad luck" said Cameron then he flipped the last card, "Number 7, The chariot, well upside down it means defeat, you'll be defeated, or suffer a defeat" said Cameron, Dallas smiled and quipped "I'll make sure that doesn't happen", Cameron smiled and placed away his cards, "good luck with that" he said before he walked out of the room, Yumi and Ulrich looked at Dallas, "what do you think'll happen" asked Yumi, Dallas smiled and said "No clue but I need to avoid it".
(=======================================================================)
Back in the woods Jeremie looked away at his laptop,
"Say Odd, why don't you believe in the tarot cards" asked Jeremie, Odd looked back at him having been playing with Kiwi, "I just don't think trusting cards to predict our future is a correct thing to do replied Odd then he threw a stick for kiwi to catch, "well you should give it a go sometime" said Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko, Aelita jumped into a black void from the mountain sector into the ice sector, as she landed on the platform it illuminated, she then walked out passing through the wall, she then took in the snow as a mild storm had kicked up, then suddenly she felt the vibrations
"Oh no" she said as she crouched down and began to contact Jeremie, who in the real world had his laptop in his bag as he returned to school with Odd, "I keep telling you Einstein, its just luck" Said Odd, whilst back on Lyoko Aelita screamed "JEREMIE… JEREMIE".
(=======================================================================)
Back At the school the warriors had all meet back up with each other,
"So how did it go" asked Jeremie, Odd was eager to hear the so called prediction, "well I've been told I'm gonna have some back luck" said Dallas, then it started to rain, "I think you might be right on that part" said Jeremie as he looked up at the rain starting with dripping but it soon became heavier and heavier, "our room" said Jeremie, they all nodded, and walked into the dorm building, "I hate the rain" said Ulrich as he looked at his wet clothes, "I don't mind it, actually" said Dallas, Yumi looked at him "same" she replied, then Ulrich gave the both of them a funny look "that's just weird, but why" he asked, Yumi shrugged her shoulders, "makes me feel peaceful" replied Dallas, then they entered his and Jeremie's room, "thank god we got in quick enough" said Yumi as she looked at Ulrich who was near enough soaked, "shut up" he replied comically, "well at least we don't have to go outside for now" said Odd as he sat down on Dallas's bed, "I'm afraid you're wrong Odd" said Jeremie, then they all looked towards him, "Aelita's just contacted me directly, XANA's launched an attack" he added, the warriors looked at each other, "we need to go to the factory" said Jeremie, "in the rain" said Odd, before he moaned, Yumi and Ulrich walked out of the room Odd followed, "I hope you have an umbrella" said Odd, Dallas shook his head and lifted the floor board and pulled out a custom belt, not unlike the one Jenny had made during the museum attack, "what's that" asked Ulrich as he and Yumi stood in the hall, everyone was passing them as they entered to their rooms, "insurance" said Dallas as he left the room, no one seemed to notice it as they left the building.
(=======================================================================)
After Odd complaining about the rain constantly the warriors agreed to take the gym entrance to the sewers,
"Careful Odd it might get flooded in there" said Ulrich as Dallas placed his around his waist then the other part over his left shoulder, the others noticed the hold at the back for the Glock 17, "what" said Odd in shock, Dallas laughed as he gave him a friendly push, then they looked at their skateboards, Odd grabbed his wanting to get out of the sewers before they had a chance to flood, he quickly ran as fast as he could mounting his board and riding off down the tunnel, "how long until we tell him, it has to be raining heavily" said Dallas, then Ulrich followed on next, Dallas grabbed his board "been ages since I've done this" said Dallas, then he ran and jumped onto his and went down the tunnel, then Yumi and Jeremie followed on behind them.
(=======================================================================)
Having arrived at the factory, Odd climbed out the tunnel before sprinting into the factory,
"I don't think he likes the rain" said Jeremie as he climbed out of the hatch, the others followed, before they slid down the ropes, Odd had already called up the elevator, "come on lets not wait for the grass to grow" said Odd as he stepped into the metal crate, "alright, alright" said Yumi as she and the others stepped into the elevator, Jeremie pressed the button and the crate began to descend, the crate soon stopped and they stepped into the lab, Jeremie called the chair over before sitting down and moving towards the computer screen, "Aelita do you read me" said Jeremie, then Aelita's window loaded and opened, "Yes Jeremie, have you noticed anything on earth" replied Aelita, Jeremie shook his head, "no we haven't, we only just got the alert" said Jeremie, "we better heard to Lyoko, if we haven't got any idea of what XANA's planning, we have no chance of stopping it in the real world" said Odd, then as soon as he said that a window opened on the computer, "Jeremie what's that" asked Ulrich as he leaned towards the screen, "I don't know" replied Jeremie, then he examined the window, "it's a message" said Jeremie, the others looked at him "a message" asked a confused Yumi, "yes, it reads, by now the you will have noticed the activated tower, but you will not know the attack, two spectres have acquired meltdown codes for the local nuclear plant" said Jeremie, he gulped towards the end of the sentence, "is that all it said, does it say who it's from" said Dallas, Jeremie shook his head and replied "just says WS at the bottom" then Dallas nodded, "know who that could be" asked Jeremie, Dallas shook his head, "how do we know that isn't a ploy by XANA" said Ulrich, the warriors looked at each other, then more text began to type into the box "Jeremie what does it say" asked Yumi, Jeremie looked towards the window, "at this moment I can understand if you don't believe me, but what have you got to lose" read Jeremie, Dallas nodded again and said "well I'll find the spectres" as he walked towards the elevator, "if I fail get to Lyoko all of you" said Dallas before he stepped into the elevator, "why" asked Ulrich, Dallas grabbed his sawn-off and holster, "if I fail, unless you got 2 million sun block you're going to have a bad day" said Dallas then the elevator closed, "you heard him lets go" said Yumi.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas quickly walked towards his car, he opened the door and sat in, he pulled out his Glock and placed it into a hold he built into the car, he shut the door before starting the engine and driving out of the factory, it had stopped raining, he grabbed the CV radio mike and held it towards his mouth, he had the CV tuned to the factory
"Jeremie I'm clear of the factory, I'm on my way towards the plant, might be able to intercept the spectres there, if they exist" said Dallas then he placed the mike back and pushed forward the gear stick, Jeremie closed the window of the CV radio, and began typing,
"okay guys lets get this tower deactivated just in case the message may be true" said Jeremie, whilst below in the scanner room the others stood in front of a scanner, "off to the ice sector" said Jeremie, then the others stepped into the scanners, "Transfer Odd, Transfer Yumi, Transfer Ulrich" Said Jeremie Scanner Odd, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Ulrich" continued Jeremie "virtualization" he shouted as the blue squared outlines of the three appeared before they gained detail and dropped to the ground, "of course I get out of the rain and into the snow" said Odd, then they looked around, the snow storm hadn't picked up from earlier but it meant the range of view was limited, "okay Jeremie where's Aelita" asked Ulrich as he placed his hand on his sword, "she's on her way" said Jeremie, then he noticed something on the radar, "unfortunately so are some of XANA's monsters" added Jeremie, then the warriors looked around, "do you know what type" said Odd as he raised his arm and looked around, "I'm afraid not" replied Jeremie, but Odd didn't have to wait long for his answer as several shots came close to hum, but they ultimately missed, "shit" he shouted as he dived out of the way, "Jeremie where are XANA's monsters" asked Yumi, Jeremie quickly typed, "they're behind you, Aelita isn't too far away keep moving forward until you meet up with her" replied Jeremie, Yumi and Ulrich started to move forward, but Odd didn't "what are you doing" asked Ulrich as Yumi ran ahead of him, "I'll keep them distracted" said Odd then he ran back in the direction of the monsters, Ulrich shouted back at him, "BE CAREFUL ODD" before he ran after Yumi.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas looked forward, he was still thinking about if the message was true or not, then he had an idea he pulled the hand brake and parked the Falcon, he then grabbed his phone and dialled a number, whilst back at the college Cameron answered his phone,
"Hello" said Cameron, Dallas looked at his phone surprised at the fact that he answered "I need another tarot reading" said Dallas, Cameron was himself confused, "what, why" asked Cameron, Dallas had to be careful he knew a return to the past wasn't always necessary, "I was told something and I want to know if it was true or not" said Dallas, Cameron grabbed his deck, "it'd be easier if you were here" said Cameron, Dallas looked at his fuel gauge, "well from what I can tell it's a truthful answer" said Cameron, Dallas restarted the engine, "okay thank you" he said as he hung up, he threw his phone into his pocket, then he carried on towards the plant.
(=======================================================================)
Odd looked around trying to identify his attacker,
"Jeremie any idea what could be attacking me" said Odd as he raised his arm and slowly looked around, Jeremie looked on the radar, "I'm afraid not, but lasers rule out warriors" said Jeremie, Odd sighed and said "that's good, I hate those things", then another blast came through the snow, he quickly jumped out of the way before it could strike him, "its either a block or a kankrelot" said Odd, then it came into view two blocks began shooting at him, Odd quickly looked around for cover, none was in sight, Odd fired at the blocks he struck one but the other fired and struck him sending him backwards slightly, "Odd you've lost 10 life points" said Jeremie, Odd quickly fired several of his laser arrows towards the block, but the snow obscured his vision slightly causing him to hit the outer area of the block and missing it's weak points, "shit" said Odd as he noticed he'd failed to destroy the monster, whilst in another area of the sector the storm was calmer and everyone could see easier, "Jeremie how much further until the tower" asked Ulrich, Jeremie looked at the radar, "it's not too far away" replied Jeremie, then the three warriors carried on moving, then suddenly they heard a buzz saw scream, "oh shit" said Yumi then they looked around, even though their field of view of the area was greater than Odds they couldn't see the silver warriors, "This is there usual tactic" said Aelita, then the other two looked towards her, "what do you mean" asked Ulrich, "they tend to scream when they're out of view then keep you paranoid" replied Aelita, then suddenly one of the silver warriors appeared behind Yumi, it raised it's sword ready to strike down on her, "YUMI" shouted Ulrich as he jumped and pushed her out of the way, quickly drawing his own sword and blocking the attack, "Ulrich" said Yumi as she reached towards him, "go" said Ulrich as he pushed the sword of the warrior upwards buying himself some breathing space, "but" started Yumi, Ulrich looked back at and her and said "just go", Aelita quickly helped Yumi to her feet, and the two quickly ran away, "I don't want to leave him" said Yumi as Aelita pulled her away by the arm, "he's gonna catch up don't worry" replied Aelita as she let go, the two girls quickly disappeared in the distance.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas was driving towards the city, he patted the steering wheel and said to himself,
"what would I do without this car" suddenly he felt a fierce jolt as the car was knocked forward, he looked back out of the window to see a black 1968 dodge Charger had just rear ended him, "what are you doing you stupid…" started Dallas then he noticed one of the two men inside the car, this one dressed in a pale blue coat with a grey suit underneath, this one was in the passenger seat, whilst the driver was wearing a black suit with white shirt and tie with black leather gloves on, the passenger was holding a Winchester model 1897 and was aiming it at Dallas, "oh shit" he said then he put his foot down and the Falcon shot forward as Dallas turned and faced forward, he turned the Falcon slightly so the Charger was now both behind him and to his left, Dallas knew that the car was being driven by the spectres, Dallas slammed the brakes of his car and the Charger appeared to shoot forward and was now in front the Falcon, Dallas then put his foot on the accelerator again and began to pursuer the Charger, the two vehicles moved into the city, this was only thing between them and the power plant, the Charger was stopped at the red light, as another parked beside it stopping Dallas from doing so and performing a simple drive by on the spectres, "where do you get all these cars from XANA" said Dallas, as he was confused about both that, and why the two spectres were playing incognito mode in the city, Dallas pulled the hammer back on the Glock and pulled it out of the hold ready to get out and shoot them, then suddenly as soon as the light turned green, the Charger shot forward it's engine roaring loudly as it cut across the car on its left, smoke trailing from it's tires, Dallas pushed forward the gear stick and started pursuit, but unfortunately the Falcon was stopped by opposite lane traffic, a taxi blocked the path but the driver pointed behind the taxi and Dallas drove around it before again putting his foot down to continue the pursuit, luckily having to go up hill put the Charger at a disadvantage, this gave Dallas the time to make sure he didn't lose them, the Falcon quickly moved avoiding another car, the Charger took a left turn and carried on up another hill, the Falcon quickly drifted around the corner gaining ground on the Charger, the latter of the two started to gain ground on the straight road ahead, Dallas quickly pulled the red button, and the air scoop rumbled as the belt started to move, the Falcon started to gain speed breaking what should have been its top speed, the Charger took a right itself drifting around the corner, the Falcon came up and followed suit, Dallas grabbed the CV mike and shouted "JEREMIE, I HAVE FOUND THE SPECTRES I AM IN PURSUIT NOW, THEY ARE IN A BLACK 68 CHARGER, I REPEAT A BLACK 68 CHARGER", the two cars were now moving down hill and the Charger was losing ground fast, it took another right turn this time more sloppy than the last and nearly collided with a telephone poll, the Falcon shot around in another drift the Powerful V8 roaring at the people observing the chase, the Charger took another right, but this time it scraped a park car slowing it down, but unfortunately for Dallas this wasn't any help at all, as he had to avoid a van reversing and because of this had over shot the turn slightly, he reversed the Falcon before gunning the engine and shooting off down the hill again starting the pursuit of the Charger, the two vehicles took a left turn again they went uphill, Dallas knew the spectres were trying to lose him but he wasn't giving up, the top of the hill wasn't very big as only a small bit of road was there before it was downwards again, the two previously slowed down vehicles began to pick up speed and momentum again, the two vehicles passed several blocks before the Charger turned left narrowly avoiding another car, the Falcon drifted around the corner, another uphill slowed both of the cars, but small slope atop of the road led to the Charger becoming air born as it reached the top before landing on the road as it went down the other side of the hill, Dallas pushed the gear stick forward and pulled the red button and the Falcon shot forward, also becoming air born before gaining speed and coming almost neck and neck with the Charger, before the Charger could carry on down the hill another car was driving up, the spectre took a sharp right turn causing the Charger to unintentionally lean, the Falcon slowly down before making the turn, horns were honking from the cars that had been cut off, the difference between the Falcon and the Charger were now greatly reduced to the space just shorter than an average car, the Charger scraped a roadside barrier as it avoided another car that was coming in the opposite direction, the Falcon being a smaller car didn't have this problem, the two cars entered another clear stretch with parked cars either side of the road, inside the Charger the driver pressed a button on the steering wheel, he activated the NOS canister in the vehicle and the Charger quickly gained speed and shot forward increasing the distance between the two once again.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich quickly dodged another swing from the silver warrior, he quickly rolled dodging the attack, he thought for a moment about using triplicate, but that would split his life points into three, he then decided to go on the attack, he ran towards the warrior with his sword held above his head, whilst back in Odd's position he was dodging the shots from the block, he couldn't see very far, and he knew if he was to strike the creature he'd have to be very close,
"Jeremie how many life points do I have left" asked Odd as he dodge another shot, "70" replied Jeremie, Odd looked at the block before he ran and jumped, he quickly raised his arm whilst upside down in the air, "laser arrow" he said as he fired one into the eye of the block, the creature exploded, "great job Odd" said Jeremie, Odd smiled and quickly ran after the others, Ulrich however was having trouble with the silver warrior as it was wearing him out, "Jeremie how far away are Yumi and Aelita" said Ulrich, he struggled to get the words out as he was very nearly exhausted, "they're far enough, just hold on a bit longer" said Jeremie, however this was easier said than done, Ulrich fell to the floor during the next swing of the silver warrior, he looked up readily anticipating his de virtualization, then as the warrior raised his sword for the final swing, "OH NOOOOOOOOO" screamed Jeremie, then the warrior suddenly stop, and moved forward slightly, then it turned and was nudged forward again, Ulrich looked behind the warriors legs to see Odd running towards them with his arm raised shouting "LASSER ARROW", the warrior turned towards Odd and began to deflect each shot, Ulrich saw his opportunity and using his last ounce of strength he stood up and drove his sword through the warrior and turning the sword in the wound of the warrior and pulling out the sword, the warrior fell to it's knees and exploded, "wait a go you two" said Jeremie, Odd quickly ran towards Ulrich, "you okay" Asked Odd, Ulrich smiled and replied "yeah thanks to you", then they looked up as Jeremie said "okay you guys, catch up to the others", the two nodded and ran after Yumi and Aelita.
(=======================================================================)
Having used all of the NOS the Charger had turned off the straight and was now dodge traffic, the Falcon quickly followed following the same routine, when suddenly the Charger took a left turn up a small slope, Dallas quickly followed but the Charger didn't remain on the road for too long as it took another right turn leaving the city and getting closer towards the plant, the Falcon turned and dodge another car but still kept up with the Charger, Dallas began to get close enough he drove up to the right side of the Charger and aimed his gun towards the passenger in an attempt to take him out first, but the passenger leaned out of the window with the shot gun and aimed towards Dallas, he quickly hit the breaks and moved behind the vehicle, he believe he was out of sight of the spectre, then he noticed him aim through the back window, Dallas had only one option, he slammed his foot on the accelerator and rammed the back of the Charger with his car, the front of the Falcon was smashed in as the driver of the Charger lost control and began to zig-zag, then suddenly one of the tires having been burned out so many times popped and the car flew off the road landing several feet from the side of the road, Dallas looked at the crash but then noticed he was on the wrong side of the road, suddenly a biker came towards him, Dallas swerved the Falcon around the biker, but at the speed he was driving and with the momentum of the car, the Falcon began to barrel roll off the road it hit the ground a total of six times and launching into the air again before it skidded to a halt, the biker watched the car, but he didn't want to get involved and he quickly rode off, the Charger was dented and smashed, but the Falcon was in worse shape, whilst the former vehicle had landed on it's wheels the Falcon had landed on its roof, the rear fuel drum was hanging out, all the other things being held out had been thrown from the car, their were several dents in the bodywork side from that it was intact, minus the windows, the front axel had snapped and the tires blown, Dallas grabbed the CV mike which luckily was intact and said
"Jeremie the spectres have been halted, no one has seen us, we could avoid a return to the past this time, but the Falcons outta the game", then Dallas succumb to his injuries.

Jeremie had heard Dallas's message and was happy that the spectres had been stopped,
"Okay, Dallas has stopped the spectres lets get this tower deactivated" said Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko Ulrich and Odd had caught up to the others, "okay, then we have to relive the day" said Odd, "nope, Dallas said that no one noticed anything that could be considered unnatural" replied Jeremie, then the warriors looked at each other, "okay Jeremie" said Yumi, then the warriors ran towards a small ridge looking down at the tower, "Jeremie we have a problem" said Ulrich as they looked down on a large group of monsters, the blocks were making a coil around the tower, and several Krabs and Blocks stood on patrol, "there's at least 20 monsters down there" said Jeremie, the warriors looked at each other, "Ulrich you stay here and guard Aelita, Odd me and you will take out as many as we can until Ulrich can regain his strength" said Yumi, then Odd smiled as they looked down, "lets go" he said as he jumped down with his arms spread before landing on his feet and starting to fire his arrows at the blocks, "reckless isn't he" said Aelita, Yumi smiled and jumped down throwing her fans destroying two of the Krabs, Ulrich and Aelita watched from the ridge as Odd quickly ran towards two of the blocks, he dropped to his knees and slid between them holding out his arms and pointed them towards the Blocks shouting "LASER ARROW" destroying them, whilst Yumi ran towards a Krab, she jumped and threw her fan towards it slicing into it and causing it to blow up she then threw her other fan at a Block, "Jeremie how many life points do I have left" asked Ulrich, Jeremie quickly typed, "you've only 40 left due to the exhaustion" he said, Ulrich nodded and looked down "try and stay safe" said Ulrich as he drew his sword before jumping down into the ensuing battle.

Dallas quickly snapped back and looked at his situation his hair was hanging from his head, he looked around to see his wrecked car,
"Great" he said, then he unbuckled his seat belt, he hadn't been able to change his seat into a better belted one, he landed on his back on the roof, he then looked at the window space, he pushed away the dirt mound that had built up and pushed it aside as he crawled out, luckily the crash took place on a back road, he reached back inside the car and grabbed his weapons sheathing them both, before walking towards the Charger, he knew that a single car crash wouldn't destroy them, he looked at the passenger, it had been had smashed its head into the frame and had been neutralized, he then looked around for the body of the driver, he quickly grabbed his sawn off and held it up, unable to locate the spectre, then suddenly he felt himself pushed towards his car, the spectre grabbed the Winchester and pointed it towards Dallas and stomped on his wrist causing him to let go of the Sawn off, it then pointed the Winchester towards Dallas's face, it began to squeeze the trigger, Dallas using his free hand grabbed the spectres leg and turned the tables and flipped the spectre onto its back, but the spectre reached into the holster and grabbed the Glock, it pointed it towards Dallas and pulled the trigger there was a clicking, Dallas then noticed the magazine had been thrown from the weapon, he then pushed the Glock into the face of the spectre.

Back on Lyoko, most of XANA's monsters had been destroyed but a few remained, two Krabs, three blocks, and the coil,
"Okay Jeremie, there's only a few left" said Aelita then she jumped down to join the others, "Ulrich watch out" said Odd as he fired an arrow just missing Ulrich and hitting one of the Blocks, "thanks" replied Ulrich, Whilst Ulrich and Odd were holding off the brunt of the forces, Yumi and Aelita were heading towards the tower, when suddenly one of the Krabs turned and fired towards Aelita, "NOOOO" screamed Jeremie then he noticed as Ulrich jumped in the way and took the hit, his body lost it's detail before the blue squared outline vanished, Yumi then threw her fan towards the Krab taking off its front leg, then she threw her other fan and destroyed it, "Okay guys just a few left" said Jeremie, meanwhile Dallas was struggling to take out the spectre, he was thrown against the back of the Falcon,
"XANA must have upgraded the code, How" he said then he was struck by a blow to the face, he extended his blade and lunged into the spectres abdomen, the spectre flinched at the blow but then head butted Dallas, "what" he said the blade wasn't working, "I don't want to have to do this" he added, then he grabbed the spectre and threw it away before looking at the base of his car, "it hasn't been thrown" he said then he flicked a switch on a small control board, a light turned on, then he was grabbed by the spectre, but he turned the table on it and pinned it against side of the car, "Who is the agent" said Dallas, but the spectre didn't say anything this one was obviously a mute, Dallas pushed the spectre it away and went to the back of the car, he grabbed the lever and pulled it and gasoline began to pour out, a spark light on the wire of the control board, Dallas moved back avoiding himself getting soaked with the gasoline, then the spectre jumped at him, Dallas grabbed it in time and held it against the car, "call this road kill" quipped Dallas, then the spark reached the end of the coil, at this moment Dallas jumped placed his feet on the end of the side of the Falcon and pushed away, at this instant the car exploded and the spectre was engulfed in flames, Dallas looked at the burning wreckage of his car, and since the return to the past wasn't necessary he knew that he wasn't getting his car back, he pulled out his phone and dialled Jeremie's number, "Jeremie the spectres a dealt with" he said, "okay we're just about to deactivate the tower" replied Jeremie, as on Lyoko Odd and Yumi destroyed the coil and Aelita walked into the tower, "okay Jeremie the tower has been deactivated" said Aelita, "do you want to activate a return to the past" she added, "no I don't think it's necessary this time" said Jeremie.

Having returned from to the school the warriors regrouped and were sitting in the cafeteria having dinner,
"So what exactly happened" asked Odd as he ate a mouthful of food, "well I've had to blow up the car to stop the spectre" said Dallas, the others looked at him, "is that all that happened" asked Yumi, Dallas nodded and drank his coffee, "oh really" said Jeremie as he pulled out his laptop and showed Dallas news footage of the chase through the city, "you've got to be fucking me" said Dallas as he looked at the last images of his car, "at least no one knows it was mine" said Dallas, then he looked at Cameron "he was right with the cards again" said Dallas, Odd laughed and they all looked at him "what" he asked, "come on Odd you still don't believe in it do you" said Ulrich, Odd shook his head, and the warriors sighed, then Delmas walked over
"Mr Marshal" he said, Dallas looked up at him "yeah" he replied, "after going over the dispute between you and Mr Scylla, I have decided that both of you will remain at the school, but he will receive detention under the grounds of theft against you, and between you and me I'll forget the chloroform as it stopped him and Elizabeth" said Delmas as he leaned in towards Dallas, he then patted him on the shoulder and walked off, "someone's going to be angry" said Dallas.

Authors note
Thanks for reading small depression has hit me during this one, and I couldn't hand over to the real Cameron as he only inspired this chapter as he uses actual cards.
