"So I have to fight some sort of monsters?"

"Yep if you want to be one of us you do."

"Alright, but what do I fight with?"

"You will have a weapon similar to your cheerleading baton, only it will have bayonets on both ends so be careful. You can also deflect lasers by twirling it."

"Is it going to hurt if I get hit?"

"Well to some extent yes. However once you lose your life points you will automatically be devirtualized and come back to Earth unharmed. It's easy to lose points though so you have to be really careful. Ulrich only has 10 life points left. If Odd and Yumi lose their life points it will be up to you."

"Oh!"

"Don't worry I'll be there to guide you step by step. You will be able to hear my voice in Lyoko. Remember...you have to protect Aelita at all times."

"I understand. I'll head for the scanners now."

"One more thing." Sissy stopped and turned around. "You have another... well, sort of power I guess you could say. The ability to restore life points. Once you get to Lyoko you must build up everyone's life points to 100 again. Just take each person one at a time and hide behind a tree so the crabs and blocks won't see you and destroy you first."

"But how do I do that?"

"I'll show you."

"Yumi look out!" A crab had snuck up on Yumi and fired a laser that hit her in the stomach.

"Uh....ohhhh" She dropped to the ground as the crab prepared to finish her off. Fueled by anger and worry for Yumi, Ulrich ran towards the monster and plunged his sword into its eye. "Impact!" He grabbed Yumi and jumped to the side as the crab exploded.

"Having fun?"

"Jeremy we can't keep fighting like this for long."

"I've just sent Sissy to the scanner."

"A lot of good she's going to do."

"Hey! Sissy's not a wimp."

"Oh yeah sure. She'll be all over Ulrich anyways so she won't even have time to fight. She'll be busy flirting." Yumi clenched her teeth.

"Actually you my find her more helpful than you think. I scanned her DNA just a few minutes ago. It's really weird. I'm still figuring some of it out, but it seems that Sissy has a gene that can heal people very rapidly, not only in the real world, but in Lyoko too.

"Huh?"

"That's right. Sissy can restore each of you to 100 life points."

Odd snickered. "I told you she wasn't worthless." Ulrich narrowed his eyes at Odd for a moment, trying to see what he was thinking. Something weird is going on, I know it!
