Disclaimer: No, I don't own Code: Lyoko, as much as I wish I did.

Shadow Dragon99: Yes it is; that's why I wanted to wait until I got a couple reviews. Well, since Ulrich's and Odd's cards disappeared, Jeremie can't devirtualize them. Oh whoops, forgot to add that people noticed them gone, especially Sissy. Thanks.

S. Sting: Thanks! I've had the idea for a while and have been toying around with it. Enjoy the chapter!

Hiei the Master of the Dragon: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. This chapter is dedicated to you, for being my first reviewer!

Muhaha! I'm still on my writing spree! Here's another chapter.

Chapter 5: Rescue

"Transfer Yumi. Transfer Aelita. Transfer Fianna. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Aelita. Scanner Fianna. Virtualization," Jeremie said, sending the three into Lyoko.

"Okay, the energy dome that Fianna found is just ahead of you. There are three Blocks as guards," Jeremie explained.

"Okay, Yumi, don't destroy the Blocks right off. I need to read one of their minds and find out how to get in," Fianna quickly added.

"Right. I'll leave you one to read their mind and destroy," Yumi said.

"Okay. Let's go!" Fianna yelled.

Yumi threw her fan at the first Block and hit it. She flipped away as it exploded. She stopped just in time to block a laser from the Block. She hit that one as well.

Fianna sifted through the Block's mind. 'Ah ha! You have to... shoot a laser or mind laser through. Okay, we won't need help with that.' She withdrew form the Block's mind and threw her fan at the X.A.N.A. symbol. It exploded.

"So Fianna, what do we do?" Yumi asked.

"We need to fire a laser or a mind laser. Since none of us have a laser, we need to shoot a mind laser by focusing our power at the energy dome," Fianna explained.

"Okay, then ready, set, go!" Aelita cried. The three girls focused their power and directed it to the energy dome. They let it surge towards the barrier, and it crumpled.

"Okay, that's done. Now where is Odd?" Yumi wondered.

"Read that one's mind, Fianna. Maybe it will know," Aelita said thoughtfully. "Good idea, Aelita!" Fianna nodded approvingly. She entered the robot's mind. 'Ah! Odd is... in the dining room with master. That's probably X–Ulrich. So where's the dining hall? Ah, down the corridor, to the right. That's enough,' She retreated from the robot's mind.

"So Fianna, where's Odd?" Aelita asked.

"He's in the dining room with Ulrich, which is down this corridor, then to the right," Fianna directed.

"Okay. Let's barge on in," Yumi said.

In the dining room

Odd sighed. He was just playing with his food while across from him, X–Ulrich was eating the pork chops with gusto. Odd felt sick. "Now Odd, eat your food. It's not like you. Do you need help?" X–Ulrich asked almost politely.

Odd looked up at the two huge guards and quickly stuffed his face with some mashed potatoes. "Mhmm, I'm fine," he said, swallowing. His head flew up when he heard the huge explosion. The door had been busted away to reveal three figures.

"Welcome Aelita, Yumi, and Fianna to your doom. We've been expecting you for some time," X–Ulrich said, smirking. He gestured, and Blocks, Crabs, Hornets, and Roachsters surrounded them.

"Oh great. What are we going to do now?" Yumi asked, petrified.

No one had an answer.

Muhahaha! I'm going to stop it here. Review!
