Chapter 2: Materialization
Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd raced to the factory, fear and bewilderment pounding in their hearts. They impatiently waited for the elevator to get to the super-computer. "Well, what's the matter?" Yumi asked, worried.
"Nothing, you just have to go to Lyoko and protect Aelita while the antivirus takes effect," Jeremie said smugly.
"Then that means... You got the antivirus!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!" Yumi shrieked in excitement.
"Woah, calm down," Ulrich said.
"Calm down?!? Jeremie has finally gotten the antivirus and you're telling me to calm down?" Yumi asked in disbelief.
"He's just saying that you don't need to scream and break our ear drums," Odd explained.
"Whatever. Did you finish the new scanner?" Yumi asked.
"Yup. It's functional and ready to go," Jeremie replied.
"Let's go to the scanners then," Yumi exclaimed.
They went into the scanners as Jeremie began his familiar speech. "Transfer Odd. Transfer Yumi. Transfer Ulrich. Scanner Odd. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Ulrich. Virtualization." No one saw the X.A.N.A. symbol pulsing on Ulrich's scanner.
The trio heard him say, "Hey, who are you, and why are you here?" Then they were virtualized in the Lyoko desert region.
"Hey Jeremie, what's going on there?" Yumi asked, concerned.
"Oh nothing, besides me being here," replied an unfamiliar voice.
"Who are you?" Ulrich asked. "And if you done anything to my friend, I'll..."
"What? Come and hurt me? Besides, you are in Lyoko right now, and you need to find Aelita and give her the antivirus," the voice said.
"Who are you, and how do you know about Lyoko and Aelita?" Odd asked, cutting off Ulrich's heated reply. "Finally, someone with their priorities straight. My name is Fianna. I've been in Lyoko before and met Aelita. I've been watching her and she's told me about you guys, X.A.N.A., herself, and Lyoko."
"Aelita, is this true?" Yumi asked the pink haired girl.
"Yes, it's true. Fianna has helped with other X.A.N.A. attacks," Aelita sighed.
"So you have your own Lyoko card?" Jeremie asked from behind Faria.
"Yes. I'm downloading it now," Fianna replied. Sure enough, a new card sprung up on the screen. It was of a girl wearing a white shirt with flare sleeves and light tan leggings. Her jet-black hair was let loose around her shoulders. She had a fan that turned into a staff with a jewel on the tip that changed different colors that matched her amulet. It also changed from a staff back into a fan. Her ability was to read minds.
"Okay, I see. So. Anyways guys, you've got to get Aelita to the nearest tower." Jeremie said.
"Yeah, we know, Jeremie. Right now, we just have the welcoming committee to say hi to," Ulrich informed him.
"You guys have four blocks, three hornets, five roachsters, two crabs, and one mega-tank coming right at you," Jeremie warned.
"Thanks for the heads-up Jeremie," Odd said.
"No problem," Jeremie replied.
"Okay, I see. So. Anyways guys, you've got to get Aelita to the nearest tower." Jeremie said.
"Yeah, we know, Jeremie. Right now, we just have the welcoming committee to say hi to," Ulrich informed him.
"You guys have four Blocks, three Hornets, five Roachsters, two Crabs, and one Mega-tank coming right at you," Jeremie warned.
"Thanks for the heads-up Jeremie," Odd said.
"No problem," Jeremie replied.
Yumi threw her fan at two of the Blocks, making them explode. She spun around and hit two Hornets unawares. She got hit in the shoulder by a Crab. "You lost 10 lifepoints, Yumi!" Jeremie warned.
"That's fine," she said.
Ulrich stabbed the two Crabs and hit the Mega-tank before it could release an energy-wall. Then he speared two of the Roachsters.
Odd cried, "Laser Arrow!" and hit both of the Blocks with his arrows. Then he hit the remaining Roachsters. One laser struck his calf. "You lost 10 lifepoints Odd!" Jeremie cried.
"Ninety lifepoints is enough," Odd replied as he flipped and hit the last Roachster. He laughed in victory and was hit in the back by a Hornet. "Another 10 lifepoints gone! I thought you got all the Hornets Yumi!"
Yumi threw her fan and hit the remaining Hornet. "I have now."
"Good job! Well, Aelita, prepare for Earth without X.A.N.A.," Jeremie said, smiling.
"I'm ready," she said as she entered the tower.
In split seconds, Ulrich had grabbed Odd and was racing across the plateau. "Ulrich, where are you going? Odd!" Yumi yelled after them. She wanted to go after them, but she had to watch Aelita.
"Yumi, what's happened?" Jeremie asked, concerned. "Ulrich's and Odd's cards just disappeared off my screen."
"I don't know, Jeremie, I don't know," she said sadly.
"Log out Yumi," Jeremie instructed.
Aelita and Yumi walked out of their scanners. But where were Ulrich and Odd?
Do you like it? Does anyone know how Jeremie brings them out of Lyoko? If so, please tell me. It would be greatly appreciated. Flames will be ignored and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, like usual.
