well here begins season 2; this season is gonna be a shit storm to write, but my god will I make it perfect, also warning for mature content in this chapter, and I mean more than the swearing.
(=======================================================================)
Having summoned the warriors to the factory early enough in the morning, each of them was tired and angry at Jeremie that was until they'd seen what he'd been working on once they'd been virtualized; Ulrich quickly rocketed past numerous stone formations on what he called his overbike, a regular bike chassis mounted over a single wheel, the front was built up and had three horizontal lines going across it, Odd followed soon after him on what he called an Overboard, it appeared to be a flying surfboard but at the front a small section was detached and floating in front, whilst at the rear two exhausts used to propel and give speed to the vehicle rested below, another two rested on the side,
"You really out did yourself Jeremie, XANA better behave himself now that we've go these things" said Odd before screaming with joy, he suddenly shot forward catching up to Ulrich, "be careful all the same" said Jeremie, Odd laughed as he spread out and crouched down, "don't worry Einstein, I know how to ride, no way Ulrich's gonna beat me" replied Odd as he moved to the other side of Ulrich, "oh no you don't" said Ulrich as he pulled on the throttle, shooting forward towards the canyon ahead of them, Odd followed suit and gave chase, unfortunately a turn was too sharp for Odd's speed and he found himself mounting the wall as he skidded across, his speed remained unbroken, he quickly moved forward becoming upside down temporarily, he scrapped the other side of the canyon, he adjusted himself again running Horizontally alongside Ulrich, the two exchanged looks before Odd began to gain speed over taking him, "Odd I didn't have enough to create a program that calculate trajectory" said Jeremie as he noticed what Odd was doing, the latter shot from the canyon and moved towards a slouched rock that acted as a ramp as Odd shot up it, he was closing in on a rock he was planning to jump, but as he almost passed it his board began to dip and he clipped the rock and was tossed over it before landing on his hands and knees, Ulrich followed but avoiding the rock he landed next to Odd as he drove past before circling round, "We might have to strap your feet down" said Dallas as he walked over grabbing Odd's and pulling him to his feet, Yumi and Aelita moved towards them on what was known as the Over-wing it was similar to a floating platform with handles at the front, Aelita was riding behind Yumi, "Odd" said Yumi as Aelita jumped off to check on the aforementioned, "are you okay" asked Aelita as Odd brushed down his arms, "yeah I'm okay, theirs still some work to do on the overboard Jeremie" said Odd, Dallas brushed him down as he said "it's not the ride, it's the rider", Jeremie smiled and laughed as Dallas took the words out of his mouth, "what's the matter Odd miss a step" said Ulrich before he chuckled, "very funny, I'd like to see you on an overboard" replied Odd, "I guess surfing's not my thing" said Ulrich as he made a wave motion with his arm, "sorry to interrupt your fascinating conversation but it looks like XANA has spotted you, theirs something your way" said Jeremie, then the warriors looked towards a small dust cloud moving towards them, "looks like we can have some shakedown time" said Dallas as he grabbed his crossbow and aimed towards the dust cloud, "That's really weird I cant tell what it is" said Jeremie as he examined the map, Dallas looked up before looking at the others, "hey, what is that thing" said Yumi as the cloud began to part and reveal what appeared to be a white four legged spider, upon its long horse shaped head was the XANA logo and what appeared to be whiskers, each of it's legs were terminated by silver turrets, "whatever it is, it's big trouble" said Ulrich as he placed his hand on his katana handle, "I've never seen a monster like that before" said Aelita, "what ever it is, it's got a lot of life points" said Jeremie, the creature stopped before kneeling down on it's hind legs and raising its front legs to reveal it's turrets, "Jeremie how about reprogramming our vehicles" said Yumi, Jeremie quickly began typing, "I'm on it, but it's gonna take time" he said, Dallas stepped forward "Aelita I'll get you to the nearest tower, You guys hold it off" said Dallas, then he pull a short baton off of his belt, "what're gonna do with that" asked Odd, Dallas pulled up his hood, "I've seen your vehicles" he said then he started running forward towards the new monster, "now what this" he said as he dived forward, he pulled the baton apart and suddenly a blue squared outline began to form between the two halves, it took the shape of what would be a traditional motorcycle, but at the front was what appeared to be a jet engine and the rear had two large rectangular grilled exhausts, one either side with two small jets at the rear, the colours alternated between blue and silver, it suddenly gained detail below Dallas and he shot forward at break neck speeds, the monster tried shooting at him, but it couldn't land a single shot as Dallas turned and began to loop around the creature before doubling back to the others, "Aelita get on" he said, Aelita quickly climbed on to the back and wrapped her arms around his body, he quickly revved the engine and shot off towards the nearest tower, "why does he always get the good stuff" said Odd as the warriors lined up facing the creature, "On my signal" said Ulrich as he drew his weapon, "I'll go first" said Yumi, "and I'll keep it busy" added Odd.
(=======================================================================)
A few moments passed when Ulrich suddenly said
"Now" but the creature was prepared and opened fire a barrage of lasers, each was more powerful than Ulrich had ever blocked before, it managed to knock the Katanna from his hand, Odd quickly grabbed it before throwing it to him, Yumi quickly flipped forward towards the creature, before jumping over it just missing it's lasers, she landed behind it, she drew one of her fans before extending it and throwing it towards the creature, but with pinpoint accuracy it fired two lasers deflecting the fan, "Dallas, theirs a tower not too far away it's north by north west, Aelita get in there and meet me" said Jeremie, Dallas looked towards his ear piece "I'm moving as fast as possible" said Dallas as he neared some rock formations, then suddenly one rock that was being held up by more below it exploded from it's foundation and fell towards Dallas and Aelita, the former quickly swerved around it, Dallas looked back to see in pursuit a bike, unlike his this one was designed to be sat on not lent across, the front was wheel shaped, but this was not it's power of mobility instead it was hovering the top was a tip like a beak, whilst below the wheel was what appeared to be armoured plaiting, behind the driver was the exhaust system below the seat, and two small wings, and in the drivers seat was Adam, his hat was being held by his feet, "oh great" said Dallas as he shot forward, but Adam was gaining ground on him, "hold on" said Dallas as he moved below more rocks in an attempt to shake Adam, whilst back at the monster Odd had moved towards the creature slowly, he was crouched as the two appeared to be squaring off to each other "hey you overgrown spider looking for me" said Odd, the creature crouched again taking aim at Odd, the creature let out a strange scream as Odd moved away, he quickly climbed up a rock pillar onto a larger rock that rested atop of it, the creature however didn't stop firing lasers as it continued until the rock was knocked loose causing Odd to fall, thinking quickly Odd dived off the rock towards the creature, but it fired a shot striking Odd in the chest sending him flying, "Odd you just lost twenty life point's it's got a powerful laser" Said Jeremie, Odd quickly got back to his feet saying "what does it take to destroy this thing", whilst back at the rocks Dallas had been unable to shake Adam as he got closer, "okay Aelita, do you know a duck and roll" asked Dallas as he moved away from the stones and shooting towards the tower, "yeah" she replied, Dallas quickly pushed down the throttle, "when I say now jump" he said as they got closer to the tower, Dallas kept his eye on the tower as the lightning from Adam landed all around him, "now" said Dallas as he quickly turned his bike around and Aelita jumped through the tower wall, without stopping Dallas already shot off back towards Adam, "wanna play chicken fucker" said the latter as he throttled the engine, he quickly drew his musket, he pulled the trigger but due to the speed that he was going at he couldn't get a clear shot, neither looked away as the zeroed in towards each other, but before they could collide, Dallas pressed a button on the right handle the bike de-textured before it collapsed back into the baton, Dallas quickly dropped and slid underneath Adam's bike, and as Adam had passed over him, he jumped up and expanded the baton allowing his bike to reform, and he shot off in the opposite direction, "fucker" said Adam as he turned his bike around, suddenly he found himself losing control of the bike and it swerved to the side and crashed into a rock devirtualizing him in a large blast, Dallas had sliced his blades into the base of the bike, causing it to lose control, "Jeremie I'm on my way back to the others" said Dallas as he shot off.
(=======================================================================)
The creature opened fire, several lasers left its canons in rapid succession, Ulrich blocked each of the shots, each time he nearly lost the grip on his sword, Suddenly he heard a loud roar, he turned his head to see Dallas trailing towards them with sand building behind his bike, the monster saw this as an ideal opportunity, it fired another barrage of lasers, each of them struck Ulrich sending him flying backwards, "Vehicles ready" said Jeremie as he pressed enter, "well it's about time" said Odd as he climbed onto his board, "come on I'm doing my best" said Jeremie, Yumi quickly moved over to the Over-Wing, "I'll go first" said Odd, Yumi smiled saying "go on we'll be watching you", Odd quickly shot forward with Yumi not too far behind him, Dallas quickly moved towards them pulling along side Yumi, Odd quickly moved up into the air before he quickly turned upside down and raising his arms towards the creature and spinning shouting "LASER ARROW" as he fired his own barrage of projectiles, however most of them missed the creature, and those that did strike it only scratched it, "this thing is really unbeatable" said Odd as he circled around for another attack, "need a hand" said Yumi as she pulled up alongside him, Dallas quickly pulled away for a different approach, the creature let out another scream, as it fired another shot from each of it's front cannons, Odd managed to pull away in time but the Over-wing was struck causing Yumi to lose control, it flew upside down above her before vanishing entirely, she skidded across the ground, before she was gunned down by the creature and devirtualized, Odd moved in for a front approach and started firing more arrows, but it didn't do any good, the creature returned fired, Odd managed to move out of their path but as he turned to his left and started to fire more arrows, he was devirtualized, the creature returned to all fours screaming at it's victory, it suddenly stopped as it heard the roar of Dallas's Over-Rider moving full force towards him, "Dallas's you'll never get close enough to use any weapon" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled and said "I know" then he quickly flicked the throttle and as he got closer towards the creature he jumped from the Over-rider and the vehicle struck the creature, unfortunately Dallas had been moving at such a speed as soon as he hit the ground he bounced multiple times before skidding to a halt and de-virtualizing.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the computer room, the mood was dim, they'd had there arses handed to them, all four of them to take out one monster, Jeremie tapped his finger against his chair,
"If XANA's gonna start programming new monsters, it means our troubles have only just begun" said Jeremie, Odd however wasn't easily put off as he looked at the creature on the screen, "any way Einstein one thing is for sure, you're gonna have to program our vehicles faster" said Odd as he turned back and faced the others, "otherwise we don't stand a chance against those Tarantulas" he added, everyone else was confused, "your aunt what?" asked Yumi, Odd sighed "Tarantulas, the new monsters I like to give my enemies a name" he added, Jeremie sank back into his chair, "what worries me is that our friend XANA has obviously found a way to increase his power" said Jeremie, Ulrich stood up from the centre holo emitter, "you think he's still evolving" he asked, Jeremie looked towards him, "Maybe, Dallas any idea from what Adam's said" asked Jeremie, Dallas looked towards them, "as far as I can tell up until now XANA's been testing us, he knows how events are gonna play out, its possible he's trying to change the rules" said Dallas, the others looked at him grimly, "my best guess is to be on our guard" he added, Jeremie shook his head and said "in any case, from now on, we have to be ready for anything and everything", Aelita stood up from next to Ulrich, "Maybe I better get back to Lyoko if XANA activates a tower I'd better be there" she said as she walked towards the elevator, "should we tell her" said Jeremie, she turned back confused "well of course we should tell her, why keep good news like that a secret" said Yumi, Aelita was further confused, "what secret, could someone please tell me what's going on" she asked, Jeremie smiled and stood up, "over the past few months I've spent all of my time, developing the vehicles and an anti virus to free you from XANA" said Jeremie, Aelita nodded following him so far, "and I also invented a whole new program for detecting activated towers" he added, Odd quickly spoke up saying, "a super scanner much more accurate than the old one", Aelita looked towards him, "with instant detection" added Jeremie, Dallas smiled saying "and along with that a new scanner was built downstairs", Jeremie smiled at what he was about to say, "so you don't have to stay on Lyoko all the time" he said, Aelita was overcome with joy, "so you mean, I'm gonna live…" she said unable to finish her sentence, "here with us, we've already enrolled you as a border at the school" said Ulrich, Yumi stepped towards Aelita and said "everything's all set up, we wanted to surprise you" as she grabbed Aelita's chin before placing her arm around her, "but I…" said Aelita unable to speak, "this is so wonderful I can't believe it" said Aelita finally able to say what she wanted to say, "I suggest we get going, don't want to miss your first day princess" said Dallas as he opened up a wall hatch to hand her a bag of items.
(=======================================================================)
Having arrived at the school, Jim was instructed to take Aelita to her new accommodations, the room had the Kadic standard, but it was arranged differently after the last student to use it left, Jim opened the door,
"… and this is your room" he said, Aelita followed him in "it's not very big, but you'll like it here miss, uh…" added Jim forgetting Aelita's fake last name, "Stones, Aelita Stones, like the rock group, I'm Odd's cousin from Canada" she said, Jim smiled as he knew she had potential despite apparently being related to Odd, "so Aelita, breakfast starts at 7am, and dinner starts is at 7pm, it's against the rules to be in your room between 8am and 4:30pm" said Jim as he turned around to leave, "you can ask your friends, Della Robia, Stern, Marshal and Belpois, to fill you in on the rest of the rules, that's if they can remember them" said Jim starting to shout towards the end of what he was saying, "now if you'd please excuse me I've got to do this with another student" said Jim, the warriors smiled as Aelita settled in to her new room, "man your own room" said Ulrich making a jealous tone sarcastically, "better get ready, we have some field trip later" said Dallas, then Odd remembered "oh Kiwi" he said as he rushed off, "we'll meet you two downstairs" said Dallas as he and Ulrich walked away, Jeremie smiled as he helped Aelita unpack "thank you Jeremie" she said.
(=======================================================================)
Around an hour later around 50 students were standing in front of the dorm building, Mrs Hertz was the only staff member and she was standing in front of Millie and Tamyia,
"I don't want to hear another word about the school newspaper, this excursion is for 9th and 10th graders only, is that clear" said Mrs Hertz, Tamyia quickly turn off her camera and the two sulked as they walked away, whilst over by the vending machines Jeremie, Dallas and Odd stood with their backs to the wall, the latter of the two trying to hide Kiwi the best they could, "Kiwi, stop squirming five more minutes and you can run around all you want to" said Odd, Jeremie watched as Aelita walked over, "hey Aelita, is everything okay, are you all settled in" asked Jeremie, Aelita smiled and gave the thumbs up, "yes I am, and I love my room, also what's this field trip" said Aelita, Jeremie smiled as he moved towards her, "we're gonna make a bio diversity scrap book, Mrs Hertz wants us to take pictures then draw plants and flowers, that kind of thing, you and I have been paired up to work together" said Jeremie, Aelita smiled at the thought of being able to work with Jeremie on something that wasn't about her, "has anyone seen Ulrich" asked Odd, as unfortunately for the aforementioned he'd been partnered with Odd, "I think he's under the arches waiting for Yumi" said Aelita.
(=======================================================================)
As usual Ulrich's mind was never on the work, but this time it wasn't because of the lack of interest in the work, one year ago he and Yumi had confessed feelings for each other, he was nervous and although he'd planned to take her to diner, he was unsure how to tell her,
"Okay, Yumi theirs something I have to tell you" said Ulrich, then he realised that came off to serious, "no that doesn't sound right" he said as he started to pace back and forth, "Yumi, theirs something serious I have to tell you" he said, again he knew it came off to serious, "she'll freak out if I say that" he said to himself, he turned around again "Yumi, you and I have to…" he started but standing there was Yumi, "Yumi I have something to tell you" said Ulrich, he was about to say when they heard a voice yell "YO YUMI", Ulrich looked behind Yumi to see someone who resembled someone Dallas once told him he nearly ran over, "Mrs Hertz said okay, we can work together on the field trip" he said, Ulrich took an instant disliking to him, "great, William do you know Ulrich?" said Yumi realising this was awkward, "ah, you're Ulrich stern, Yumi mentioned you" said William, but he knew that Yumi was with Ulrich, so it was clear he was trying the subtle approach, "ready to go" he said, Yumi turned back to Ulrich "didn't you have something to tell me" she said, Ulrich however didn't feel like it anymore and said "I'll tell you later", Yumi knew this partially her fault and said "see you later" as she walked towards William, Ulrich wasn't just jealous of what he clearly knew that William was trying to take Yumi from him, he down right hated him for it, "Hey whatcha doing, everyone's leaving, we have to be back by 6" said Odd as he found Ulrich, "Who is that guy" said Ulrich, Odd quickly looked towards William, "oh who, William, he's a new guy, he got kicked out of his last school, some vandalism thing apparently, he's totally cool" said Odd as he started to walk off catching up with the rest of the group of students.
(=======================================================================)
Walking along the path by the main road, it was a rare occasion that the warriors aside from Dallas would go into the woods outside of an attack,
"Did you know, trees grow new branches from one year to the next according to an exponential ratio off 1.66" said Jeremie, "1.6618 to be exact, it's the golden ratio, say do you think Nature obeys, non linear equation systems" added Aelita, to her and Jeremie it was child's play to everyone else it was gibberish, "can you believe those two, who do they think they are anyway, Mr and Mrs Einstein" said Sissi as she Nicholas and Herb walked behind them, "urm who" said Nicholas, Herb face palm wondering why he hung around with the former, Sissi stopped and started to cross the road, "hey Sissi, where are you going, the woods are this way" said Herb, Sissi smiled and replied "yes but the stores are that way", Herb was confused "but we're supposed to draw plants" he said, Sissi turned back and said "there's a florist in the shopping centre", Nicholas and Herb looked at each other, before Sissi asked "where's Adam anyway", "he's welcoming some other new girl" said Nicholas.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita and Jeremie had broken off from the main group of students and were following a path that the latter knew well,
"There aren't any monsters in these woods" said Jeremie as he chuckled slightly, "That only happens in fairy tails or shitty horror pictures, the kind Odd likes" he added, Aelita looked around at the trees, this area was darker and much older, "you don't like horror films" asked Aelita as she looked towards him, "I don't find them very accurate, Scientifically speaking, besides I don't have time to go to the cinema, I got my work cut out for me with XANA" said Jeremie as he patted his bag, "Oh no I don't believe it" he said as he realised his bag was lighter than usual, "I left my laptop in my room, what if XANA attacks" said Jeremie as he began to panic, "just run back and get it, besides with the drawings we've already done, I'm sure well get the highest grade" replied Aelita, Jeremie smiled and said "yeah, be right back" as he quickly ran back down the path.
(=======================================================================)
On the other side of the forest Odd was throwing a stick playing with Kiwi, whilst Ulrich using the camera provided by Kadic was watching Yumi sitting down by a tree, unfortunately on the other side of the tree was William,
"Oh Stop freaking out, You know she's crazy about you" said Odd, Ulrich looked down "I know but that William guy, he just pisses me off" replied Ulrich, Odd smiled as he picked up Kiwi, "for god sake man, it's your one year anniversary and you're worried she likes another man" said Odd as he walked towards Ulrich, "no I know she loves me, it's obvious William wants her" said Ulrich, he looked down the camera again, "I bet right now he's attempting to smother her" he added, unfortunately for him, he was trying the subtle approach, "I wouldn't call myself a rebel, I'm just a little rebellious" said William as he looked down at his note pad, "well you did manage to get yourself kicked out of your last school, putting posters all over the place" said Yumi, she was intrigued by William but far from liking him like she did Ulrich, "I object your honour given the extenuating circumstances" said William raising his hand, "they were love letters" he added, Yumi was close to laughing and said "love makes you crazy", William turned to face her, "makes me totally insane" he replied.
(=======================================================================)
Back at the crossroads of the path Aelita was looking around, it seemed too silent, she was quickly caught of guard by the sounds of birds rustling through the trees, suddenly it felt as if every noise had been amplified,
"Monsters only exists in fairy tails, Monsters only exist in fairy tails" said Aelita to herself, suddenly she heard a wolf howl and she began to run, quickly passing through several bushes, she stopped in her track, suddenly wild flashes appeared causing her to drop her notepad, after each flash she could see a wolf sitting and watching her, it growled towards her, she quickly turned and ran away, whilst further in the forest Dallas was with Gareth, his eyes suddenly changed showing the XANA logo,
"You okay" asked Gareth noticing his eyes, Dallas quickly looked worried, "shit" he said as he ran away grabbing his crossbow, his eyes changed again he noticed several wolves, he fired a bolt towards it, but as it struck the creature it vanished leaving only a bolt in the ground, Dallas grabbed it saying "XANA", whilst back at Kadic Jeremie entered his room grabbing his laptop and bagging it, he then heard the beeping of his computer "Oh no just what I was afraid of XANA's attacking" he said as he rushed out of the room.
(=======================================================================)
"I don't have to remind you, we haven't done a single drawing, I don't even want to think about the grade we're gonna get" said Odd as he rested against the tree with Kiwi on his lap, "go ahead you draw, your better at it than I am" said Ulrich, he quickly heard his phone ring and pulled it out answering it, "Jeremie" he said, "I'm at school, XANA's attacking, I'm on my way to the factory, Dallas is already on his way to pick up Aelita, I left her at the cross path" replied Jeremie, "no problem we'll meet up with him" said Jeremie, Odd quickly packed away there stuff, "is Yumi with you" asked Jeremie, Ulrich sighed and replied "no she isn't, I'd rather you called her yourself, see you in a minute", he quickly hung up, before looking towards Yumi, she was paying attention to William but she knew his ploy and it wasn't working, "I don't do anything half way it's all or nothing with me" said William, he looked up to watch tweeting birds fly off a tree branch, "I just can't bring myself to be sensible, but hey, being sensible is just not sensible" he said, Yumi chuckled slightly and said "you stole that line from the subsonics", William looked back towards her, "you listen to them" he asked confused, "yeah, they're awesome" she replied then she heard her phone vibrate, "yes" she said, a minute passed and William finished drawing, "well it's about time we got back to work huh" he said as he stood up, there was no response he looked towards her saying "Yumi" only to see she wasn't there.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita was panting heavily as she had ran out of the woods trying to escape the woods, she stood up having caught her breath, she suddenly noticed a building across the road, she took several slow steps towards it, the building was obviously abandoned, it stood at three stories, its first floor was elevated and was reached by a few steps, the wooden fence around the building was covered in moss and close to falling apart, Aelita read a small and simple sign on the fence,
"The Hermitage" she said as she opened the broken gate and walked closer to the house, suddenly she had another mental attack causing her to see the house as it was prior to being abandoned, walking towards the house, she noticed the windows were smashed as she called out, "is anybody home", there was no reply, as she moved up the stairs a old and abandoned security camera moved and watched as she ascended the stairs.
(=======================================================================)
"are you sure this is where, Dallas said" asked Odd as they looked at Aelita's note pad, "yeah" replied Ulrich then they heard Trees rustling they turned and watched as Dallas dropped from the leaves above, "About time you got here" he said as he walked towards them, "I doubt either of you've seen Aelita" he asked, they both shook their heads, Ulrich heard a branch snap and turned ready to kick only to see Yumi, "hey, nervous aren't we, what a warm welcome" she said as they moved towards the path, "Have you tried eagle sight" asked Odd, Dallas shook his head saying "I've tried it, but we've been up this path so many times I can't tell mine from yours, or Aelita's from ours", Ulrich rubbed his forehead "so we've lost her" he asked, Dallas crouched down and placed his hand on the ground, "she went this way" he said, the others were confused "you said you couldn't tell our trails apart" said Yumi, Dallas stood up, "I do know other ways of tracking" said Dallas as he followed the trail.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita opened the front door of the Hermitage, the wind and fresh air blew most of the dust away, numerous pieces of paper that had been scattered across the floor flew around, Aelita stepped in looking at the trashed interior, the lighting fixtures were hanging by a wire, the paint on the walls was fading and what had been hanging was either about to fall or had already done so, suddenly from a plug socket a black ooze began to seep from the sockets, suddenly it sparked and Adam began to form he clicked his neck after full forming, he extended a blade similar to Dallas's on his left arm, the main difference was this was shorter and closer to his wrist, he quickly moved towards the kitchen area, Aelita moved into the living room, it was destroyed numerous pieces of paper laid around the floor, the mirror was smashed and the sofas were torn to shreds, a piano which was covered in dust sat at the far end of the room, Aelita stood up, suddenly she felt another violent attack, collapsing against the fireplace she heard the piano playing twinkle, twinkle little star, there was a brief flash, the room was suddenly immaculate, Aelita turned around to see a man around 6 foot sitting down, he wore a red turtle neck jumper with slate grey trousers and a white lab coat, his hair a dark grey, his face had a full beard and moustache, he suddenly stopped playing causing Aelita to feel another attack, he turned around, Aelita couldn't see into his eyes as big thick glasses reflected the light off of them, Aelita suddenly felt another attack and the room returned to normal, she suddenly screamed as she turned and noticed the Black ooze and Adam moving towards them, whilst further down in the woods the warriors were still following the trail,
"That's Aelita" said Dallas as he quickly started running towards the source of the noise.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the factory the situation was getting worse as Odd had phoned Jeremie to tell him the bad news,
"Don't tell me you haven't found her yet, what have you guys been doing, she may be in big danger" said Jeremie, "chill Jeremie we're doing everything we can, Dallas has led us to this house, saying Aelita's trail took off in a hurry" replied Odd as they looked at the hermitage, "we're gonna take a look inside, we'll call you back if we've got any news" said Odd as he hung up, Jeremie was none to happy, the warriors walked up the stairs that led to the house with Dallas taking point with his crossbow, "Aelita" said Ulrich then suddenly the door slammed shut, Dallas placed his crossbow over his shoulder and tried pulling the door open, "it's locked" said Odd, he put down his bag and tried helping Dallas, Ulrich pulled out his phone, "no signal" he said, then suddenly then heard something moving towards them, they watched as a wooden cabinet moved towards them scarping the floor, the warriors except Dallas dived to the side, the latter stood griping the floor with his feet and raised his leg kicking the cabinet and smashing it to pieces, "Real house of horrors this" he said as Ulrich pointed towards the study, "that way" he said and the warriors moved towards it, "are you thinking what I'm thinking" said Ulrich, they looked towards him, "XANA" said Yumi, Odd nodded in agreement "That means Aelita must be here somewhere" he said, suddenly they noticed a box flying towards them, it flipped and a large quantity of cutlery moved towards them, they quickly ducked except Dallas who took it in the chest sending him backwards, "Dallas" said Yumi, but Ulrich grabbed her saying "he'll be fine" as they moved away, suddenly everything moved from plates in the cupboards to the ceiling lights, suddenly Adam appeared grabbing an elevated lamp and threw it towards the warriors, "hey Odd watch out" said Ulrich, the aforementioned quickly ducked, Adam started moving towards them, they quickly ran down the stairs into the basement, "Don't you people ever die" he said as he extended his blade, suddenly he was tackled by Dallas, whose chest wounds had healed being the blade weren't too deep, "No" he said as he punched Adam in the face, but the latter thought back throwing him against the wall, whilst in the basement the warriors were treading carefully "looks like XANA is trying to lead us somewhere" said Yumi, then they all said "Aelita" in unison as they noticed her laying down in what appeared to be a boiler room, with a sliding metal door, Ulrich and Yumi quickly rushed towards her with Odd trailing behind, "Don't worry princess, we're here" said Ulrich as he and Yumi picked Aelita up, "Ulrich" she said as she looked at them, "It's a trap, XANA he's going to" she added when suddenly the door began to violently slam shut, Odd quickly threw himself in the way blocking the door with his feet whilst he rested his back on the door frame, "get Aelita out first" he said as he struggled to hold the door, Aelita quickly dropped to all fours and began to crawl underneath Odd, Yumi tried following but it was obvious Odd wasn't going to hold out and she stood up pushing him causing the door to slam shut, on the floor above Adam turned his head having heard the noise, he turned back just in time to see Dallas punch him in the centre of the throat, Adam feel down unable to breath before he suffocated to death, Dallas took a deep breath before rushing down the stairs, on the outside of the boiler room Odd noticed a dial slowly showing that the room was beginning to heat up, "you'll be cooked alive if we don't get you out of there" said Odd as he on the outside, with Ulrich and Yumi on the inside tried opening the door to no avail, "Odd run to the factory with Aelita, deactivate the tower it's our only hope" said Ulrich as he and Yumi collapsed from the door handle, "come on" said Odd as he and Aelita ran down the corridor bumping into Dallas, "Where are the others" asked Dallas as he followed them towards another door at the end of the corridor, "trapped" replied Aelita, Odd quickly grabbed the door handle and tried opening it, "I knew it" he said as it was locked, "now we'll have to go above ground" he added, then Dallas quickly punched around the lock smashing the old and delicate timbers before pulling out the lock, "come one" he said, they quickly exited into the over grown back garden, Aelita suddenly noticed a door, when she had another attack this one wasn't painful, she saw the garden in a nicer state, one that had been trimmed, she then noticed the man she'd seen earlier with her walking through the door, she then saw that the door led to a staircase down to the sewers, "there's a passage over there I think it leads to the sewers" said Aelita pointing towards the door, "this is no time for jokes Aelita" said Odd, Aelita started walking towards it, "I'm not joking Odd, I'm sure" she replied, Odd walked over to it, she pressed down on the bar, but it moved but only slightly, "its locked" he said, Dallas moved over to it and pushed the door looking in through the gap, "a chain, high tensile steel" he said before extending his blade and shoving it into a ring, "however it's old and…" he said then the chain snapped and fell to the floor, "rusted" he finished as they pushed the door open, they quickly looked down the staircase, "wow incredible, how'd you know about this" asked Odd, Aelita was confused as much as the others.

Back in the boiler room things had started to get warm it was going up a degree every 2 minutes, Ulrich sat down on the wooden bench, whilst Yumi was standing at the door,
"Happy anniversary" said Ulrich half sarcastically, Yumi moved towards him sitting down, she smiled as she hugged him, "some anniversary" said Yumi, Ulrich smiled at least he was with her, "I should have told you about William sooner, it's just there was a lot on my mind" said Yumi, Ulrich smiled and moved towards her and placed his arm around her shoulder, "I wanted to work with you today on the assignment, but I'm the only one who William gets along with" said Yumi, Ulrich smiled knowing his jealousy was more or less misplaced, "You wanted to talk to me about something earlier" said Yumi as she started to feel the heat and began tugging at her jumper, "I reserved a table for us at a nice restaurant for today" said Ulrich as he began to chuckle, "you didn't have to" said Yumi, Ulrich started laughing "of course I did, I love you Yumi, I want to spend the rest of my life with you" he replied, Yumi looked towards him and said "that might actually happen, considering our situation", Ulrich realised his poorly thought out sentence, "Ulrich there's something I was saving for later, but I have a feeling we're not gonna have the time" said Yumi, Ulrich looked towards her as he removed his shirt due to the heat, "and that is" he asked as he threw down his shirt, he turned around only for Yumi to kiss him passionately, Ulrich noticed that her hand was trailing towards his lower areas, he felt her warm grasp through his trousers, before she moved her hand and placed it on the inside, they broke away from each other allowing Ulrich to pull down his trousers and for Yumi to remove her clothing, leaving both of them in their underwear, the two moved towards each other kissing each other again and fell to the floor.

Ladies and Gentleman I'm gonna need a shower so cold that it's hail, just for writing that.

Having quickly rushed to the factory, Odd, Dallas and Aelita quickly entered the elevator and pressed the button descending fast,
"At my guess the rate the room was heating and the time we took to get here, they've got 20 minutes" said Dallas, the elevator stopped on the lab floor and opened, "Aelita" said Jeremie as he noticed them "I was really worried" he added, Odd pressed the button to do down to the scanner room saying "No time to lose Einstein otherwise Ulrich and Yumi will end up like smoked salmon", Jeremie quickly turned back towards the screen, "Okay head for the scanners I'll start the process" said Jeremie as the elevator door began to close, "Adam's been neutralized, we shouldn't have any trouble there" said Dallas as the door's closed, the crate descended and they rushed out towards the scanners, "I'll take the new one, haven't tested it out yet" said Dallas as he moved Aelita away from it, they all quickly stood inside a scanner each, "Transfer Aelita, Transfer Dallas, Transfer Odd" said Jeremie as he selected their ID cards, they suddenly felt themselves spin and rise as Jeremie said "Scanner Aelita, Scanner Dallas, Scanner Odd", they quickly returned to the ground feeling the blast of air as Jeremie said "virtualization", their blue squared outlines appeared in the ice sector sky before gaining detail and dropping to the floor, the same process occurred with their vehicles and the baton on Dallas's belt, "Aelita the over-wing is for you" said Jeremie, Odd smiled and said "our taxi's are waiting for us", he quickly jumped on his board whilst Aelita climbed onto the Over-wing, Dallas quickly ran and dived forwards splitting the baton, they quickly moved along the path, "Tower dead ahead" said Odd, but Jeremie looked on the screen at the id cards, "be careful, you got two Tarantulas guarding it" said Jeremie, the warriors quickly hid behind a massive shard of ice that formed a small structure, "we might just be able to fight our way through" said Odd, Dallas smiled then suddenly there was a lightning strike, it struck the side of the structure causing it to collapse, the warriors moved out of the way, "I thought you said Adam was dead" said Odd as they looked at the fallen ice, "he is" said Dallas, then another lightning strike occurred "That's it" said Dallas as he revved the engine on his bike and shot off following the source of the lightning, "Dallas stay with the others" said Jeremie before realising Dallas wasn't listening, "great I can't take two of them by myself" said Odd, Aelita smiled saying, "maybe I can lure away one of them", Odd smiled at the idea, but he knew it was risky "Aelita what're planning on doing" asked Jeremie, Odd simply replied "she's gonna steal the show".

Back at the Hermitage the steam room had increased in heat, but Ulrich and Yumi knew it could be their last moments, Ulrich was trailing kisses down her neck,
"Ulrich" she said as she reached behind her back unclasping her bra, Ulrich tossed it aside feeling her bare breasts against his chest, she quickly pulled down his boxers leaved him naked, Yumi kissed him again, before removing her own underwear, Ulrich had slept with Yumi once, but it was just sleeping "do it" she whispered in his ear, Ulrich lined himself up and slowly began to insert himself into Yumi's womanhood, her head fell back at the feeling inside her, Ulrich stopped as he felt something blocking him, Yumi nodded and placed her hands around Ulrich, he quickly thrust removing her virginity and his own, Yumi felt some pain and so did Ulrich as she clawed into his back, but neither cared as Ulrich began to thrust in and out of Yumi, both panting heavily as the room began to heat up even further, "Ulrich" moaned Yumi as she felt her pain turn to pleasure, "Yumi" said Ulrich softly as he looked down at her, the two moaned in pure ecstasy at the new sensation.

Back on Lyoko Dallas was roaring towards the origin of the lightning,
"Dallas are you sure Adam is dead" asked Jeremie, Dallas quickly turned avoiding an ice pillar, "yes I watched him choke to death" he replied, another lightning bolt struck near Dallas he quickly pulled to the side and pressed a button on bike handles and it returned to the baton mode, "come on out Adam" said Dallas as he held his crossbow in his hands, he lowered his hood as he moved towards the origin of the lightning "come out you bastard" said Dallas as he turned around the ice structure, he was suddenly shocked by a bolt of lightning, Dallas was knocked back, he stood back up, "come on you son of a bitch" said Dallas, then he noticed it wasn't Adam, the figure was wearing knee high brown leather boots with a long sleeveless coat made of chapped leather with shoulder pads, a white shirt underneath with a vambrace on either arm, a large belt around the torso with a red sash tied to it, "Jeremie we got a problem" said Dallas as he noticed the figure was armed with a small musket pistol and a hilted sword, Dallas drew his tomahawk and charged towards the figure, "who are you" said Dallas as he jumped and attempted the slash at the figure, but the figure moved before saying, "you'll find out" the voice was female, she moved into the light allowing Dallas to she her, her hair was long and towards the ends braided, the colour was brown, "oh crap" said Dallas as she fired another lightning, he was struck and thrown against the rock, "Dallas you've lost half your life points" said Jeremie, Dallas looked towards her as she walked towards him, she extended a blade from her forearm similar to Dallas's, she only had one on her left arm, Dallas smiled and quickly using his right leg he kicked the girl in the leg and then using the last of his energy he raised his left leg and kicked her in the head in one unbroken swift move, Dallas quickly did a spin kick knocking her away, "Jeremie, tell the others to hurry" said Dallas as he stood with his arms raised ready to fight.
(=======================================================================)
Back at the ice structure Aelita moved forward first on the over-wing, the two Tarantulas looked towards her before falling on their hind legs raising the front legs and preparing to fire, but before she got to close Aelita turned to her right saying,
"Well my little monster friends did you miss me", the Two monsters looked towards her then one of them returned to it's all four position and started moving after her, Aelita sped up but the Tarantula wasn't so easily defeated as it raised onto it's hind legs and started firing towards Aelita, but due to this it had poor accuracy, it fell back onto it's front legs and carried on after her, most of the lasers fired missed, except for the final as it struck the over-wing, it suddenly devirtualized before Aelita fell to the ground and skidded around, she quickly stood up running away as fast as she could from the pursuing creature, she stopped as she reached the end of the plato, she panicked before she turned around, the Tarantula fell onto its rear legs and prepared to fire at her, but suddenly Odd ascended on the Over-board, "surprise" he said as he fired a barrage of laser arrows the creature, they struck the creature in the XANA logo causing it to explode, "not so invincible" said Odd as he smiled at the creatures destruction, he then realised he was out of laser arrows as he heard a clicking noise in his hand, "uh oh, Jeremie I'm out of arrows" said Odd, Jeremie quickly started typing, "I'm working on it, be patient" said Jeremie, whilst back on Lyoko Odd moved the overboard towards Aelita before stepping off as the two looked towards the Tarantula, "I'm gonna have to keep the monster busy, wait for my signal" said Odd, he quickly stepped back onto the board.

Dallas was starting to have trouble holding off the girl, whilst Dallas was standing on the defensive it was clear the girl had a favourite fighting style, it appeared to be boxing, she quickly threw a few jabs, Dallas dodged whilst landing a blow of his own into her stomach, she threw another, but instead of just dodging Dallas ducked and turned around grabbing her right arm, and using his own shoulder he pulled down on he elbow snapping her arm, she screamed before catching Dallas off guard by stabbing him in his left knee, Dallas fell down before head butting her,
"Dallas" said Jeremie, Dallas stood up starting to limp away, "what is it" said Dallas, as he pulled out his baton, "you're bleeding life points" said Jeremie, Dallas looked down at his knee wound, "gotcha" he said before expanding his baton and climbing on his bike and shooting forward, "Dallas's you won't make it" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled and said "watch me".
(=======================================================================)
Back in the steam room, Ulrich and Yumi were beginning to feel the heat burn at them, but neither cared as their last moments were intimate, Ulrich broke away from Yumi's kiss saying,
"I'm close" he said, Yumi smiled and wrapped her legs around his waist pushing down, Ulrich's head rolled back as he realised his seed into Yumi's waiting womb, the two collapsed at the feeling and due to the heat.

Back on Lyoko, Odd was racing towards the Tarantula, the creature knelt down and started to fire it's lasers towards him, But Odd had an advantage, the Over-Board was faster than the Over-wing, but the Creature was firing a larger barrage of lasers than the ones before it, Odd was dodging each of them, but a few were coming close to hitting him, Odd quickly circled around the tower with the creature still shooting at him,
"Jeremie this is cutting it close" said Odd, Jeremie was still trying to reload Odd's laser arrows, then he noticed the radar, "what" said Jeremie, then Odd noticed a small ice storm build up as Dallas was roaring towards the two, "come on" said Dallas, Jeremie looked towards Dallas's ID card "20 life points left" said Jeremie, Dallas smiled and began to turn towards the Tarantula, the creature followed suit and turned around it began firing several lasers towards him, Dallas tried to dodge them but he was too weak, he was getting closer towards the Tarantula but he was too weak to strike the creature with the Over-Rider, the Tarantula struck the bike causing it to devirtuallize, "10 life points" said Jeremie, but before Dallas succumb to the wound he leaped towards the creature, it quickly moved but before he devirtualized using his tomahawk he swiped at the Tarantula's front leg taking it clean off, he then lost detail and his blue square outline despaired, Dallas arrived back in the scanner, he limped out due the his knee injury striking a real world one he was in actual pain, he stood against the scanner placing his hands onto it, he quickly smacked his left knee against it, whilst back on Lyoko, Dallas's distraction had brought Odd sometime, "done, Odd you're fully loaded" said Jeremie, Odd smiled and said "great Jeremie, I'm breaking off", Odd quickly flew away, the Tarantula fired after him, but it missed and it started to limp away after him, whilst close by the tower, Aelita looked up from behind a small ridge and looked towards the tower, Odd quickly turned around on the over board and circled back towards the Tarantula, "Aelita now" he said as he fired a barrage of laser arrows into the Tarantula, but he missed the creature fired back striking the overboard, Odd charged towards the creature firing his arrows, he looked towards Aelita as she entered the tower, the Tarantula turned around knowing that he'd failed, Aelita rushed towards the centre of the platform and began to ascend, she landed on the platform and pressed her hand down on the screen the word AELITA typed in followed by CODE LYOKO, "tower deactivated" said Aelita as the blue screens descended into the void, suddenly there was a white flash and it began to engulf the factory as Jeremie said "return to the past now", the white flash engulfed then engulfed the Hermitage followed by the rest of the world resetting the day…
(=======================================================================)
At around the same time that day, Dallas, Jeremie and Aelita were standing at the school as everyone was being marked on there work, Dallas's had managed to scrap a B, Odd's and Ulrich's had gotten a C+ which surprised everyone, Yumi's got a B+ whilst to the surprise of no-one Jeremie's and Aelita's had gotten an A+, Dallas looked towards Adam who was standing underneath the arches talking to someone,
"So you're saying there's another Agent" said Jeremie, Dallas nodded before looking back at the others, "yeah she already has enough information, but I didn't recognize her" said Dallas, then they heard Mrs Hertz evaluating Sissi's group for their work, "Well congratulations Ms Delmas, you've managed to find an Amazonian Yakama here in our woods" said Mrs Hertz having caught them out on their lie, "uh, yeah and it wasn't easy either" said Sissi obviously lying through the skin of her teeth, "is that so, I think it's gonna be much easier grading your work" said Mrs Hertz as she wrote a massive zero on Sissi's group's work, "Zero" she said as she walked away, Ulrich and Odd walked towards them, "so did you manage to get any drawing done this time" asked Jeremie, Odd smiled and said "yeah it was actually hard though, Ulrich wasn't paying attention he was day dreaming most of it, and he wasn't even angry", Ulrich punched him in the arm, "shut up Odd" he said jokingly, then they noticed Yumi walking towards them, she waved to William as she walked away from him, "so Romeo you still scared that she doesn't love you" said Odd jokingly, Ulrich smiled knowing that was the furthest thing from the truth, "Me and Dallas went to check out the house, The Hermitage, Nothing to report it's gone back to being a normal house, abandoned but normal" said Jeremie, Dallas nodded in agreement, "I did a full sweep a few gold footprints but they're older than they should be, it could be the return to the past I don't know" said Dallas, Aelita wasn't as convinced "it was so weird all those visions I had there" she said, Odd was also confused as he said "not to mention the underground passage that you knew about", "and the fact it led to the sewers that lead to the factory" added Dallas, Aelita closed her eyes picturing the house, "it's as if I've already seen the house, in a dream" said Aelita, Yumi smiled saying "a new mystery to solve for us" as she placed her arm around Ulrich, she then when the others weren't looking placed her hand to her mouth and gave a subtle shush to Ulrich, he nodded in agreement, "also before I forget" said Jeremie as he pulled out a small box wrapped in a pink paper with a small bow on it, "this is for you" said Jeremie as he handed it to Aelita, "it's to keep us one step ahead of XANA" added Jeremie, "for me" said Aelita as she tore the paper off, to reveal a phone box, "This way, we can always stay in touch" said Jeremie, Aelita held the phone up, she didn't know what to say, "I thought that pink would suit you" said Jeremie, Aelita was close to tears, "wow it looks cool, matches your hair" said Odd, Aelita quickly hugged Jeremie almost suffocating him, "thank you Jeremie" she said, the others smiled as Odd said "their you go, like a regular school kid now".
