Ok, chapter four, hope u like it so far. For those of u who are just now reading this, like I said they took my story off and i can't figure out why, so I'm just re posting it. I did have author's notes and stuff about my reviews, but it's all gone now. Every single one of my reviews that made me so happy even to get a bad one, and all the wonderful ones from you Aelita.

Chapter 4: Practice Run
The gang continued on until they got to the lab. Jeremy started typing and doing checking several different screens on the computer. Finally he said, "Well, I guess we don't need to hurry, because X.A.N.A. can't use the lights here, I'm sure of it, so we don't really have to worry about us going blind, and the rest of the school can be fixed by a trip to the past. So, Slyzer.... I guess it's time to virtualize you." Jeremy said the last part with great reluctance.
"If you want to," Ulrich put in.
"Uh, yeah. I guess that'd be great," Slyzer replied.
"You do understand the risks though?" Yumi asked.
"Yeah, the digital void, if you fall in there, your stuck forever, unless Einstein here figures out a way to materialize you," Odd put in.
"Yes, and if I do figure out a way to materialize you, you're not the first on the list. Aelita will be, and who knows if the program will work twice." Jeremy said, trying to sound intimidating.
"Yeah, whatever, I'll go."
"Are you sure?" Ulrich asked.
"Yes I'm sure, c'mon, I'm the same age as you guys, don't treat me like I'm scared."
"Alright, time to choose your weapon," Jeremy said, turning to the computer again.
"Ooh, goody, my favorite part!" Odd said mostly to himself. The screen displayed many things, but Slyzer ended up choosing something that had a lot of advantages. His wolf-like atire was equiped with 15 razor throwing disks, and the ability of enhanced running and jumping. Not to mention that on one wrist there was a claw-glove type device, which extended to razor claws by flicking your wrist. The claws usually settled on the forearm, but when extended provided an impact weapon and a way to defend one's self from lasers and other attacks. Pretty nice if you ask me. Slyzer thought.
"And now your test run," Jeremy said. "I will virtualize you near the tower, where there are bound to be monsters. Let's see what you can do." Ulrich showed Slyzer to the scanner room, and he was virtualized.
"Whoa, I feel, different. This is pretty cool though," he said while extending the razor claws. He had hid behind a rock after virtualization. He was in the desert region.
"Slyzer!" Aelita called. She ran up to him.
"Hello Aelita, good to see you in virtual flesh." Slyzer said.
"How do you like being virtual?" She asked.
"It'll take some getting used to. I mean, not breathing, or anything like that. Weird."
"It's time to see what you can do!" Jeremy said over the communicator.
"Good luck!" Yumi called.
"You can do it!" Ulrich said. For the first time upon virtualization, Slyzer peeked around the large rock. He saw two crabs. "Those are.. uh, crabs?" Slyzer guessed, remembering what Ulrich had tolded him.
"You guessed it," Aelita said.
"Cool, I could use a little practice with my powers," Slyzer said as he jumped up onto the rock. "Hey over here!" he yelled at the crabs. They turned to him. For a second they were confused. X.A.N.A. didn't know about the newcomer. Then they were ordered to fire. "Three batteries of lasers, 10 lifepoints lost per impact," Jeremy said.
"How many have I got?" Slyzer asked.
"100 so far." They fired. The lasers were fired quicker than Slyzer had expected. Tons of lasers were pouring at him. He jumped down behind the rock. They proceeded to surround him. He jumped back onto the rock, then off of it, towards one of the crabs. While still in the air, he dodged two lasers and hurled a disc at the closest crab. It hit it, but only damaged it, because it didn't hit the Lyoko symbol dead on. It staggered for a second, then continue to fire.
"70 lifepoints," Jeremy said. Slyzer had taken a few laser hits. He extended the razor claws and ran under the damaged crab. The other one was still on the other side of the rock, and his fire disappeared as he scuttled around the rock. In the meantime, Slyzer slashed at the crab's legs that he was underneath. It fell, just as Slyzer did a backflip out from under it, avioding a trio of lasers. More lasers headed his way, and he was doing a series of flips and jumps to avoid as many as possible.
He put the claws back into defensive position, and quickly hurled three discs at the staggering damaged crab. One of them hit it's mark, and the crab blew up in a flash.
"Aaaahhh!" Slyzer cried out as he was knocked back by three lasers.
"You only have 20 lifepoints left!" Jeremy yelled.
"Get to cover!" Ulrich shouted.
"Not yet, I got this guy!" Slyzer deflected four more lasers with the now extended claw, and jumped into the air, towards the crab. He deflected more lasers in midair, then while immediately above the crab, he quickly threw five or six discs into it's back. Two hit the mark, and it was gone in a flash, like the other one.
"Nice work!" Odd yelled. "You know, maybe this isn't so bad after all!" Odd yelled. The gang in the lab looked at each other, and a mutual feeling of forgivness and trust spread throughout them.
"Not bad for a beginner," Ulrich said. He had been virtualized.
"AAAAHHHH!!! Oh, Ulrich, you gave me a scare.... heh..." Slyzer was embarrassed. He had had no idea that Ulrich had been virtualized right beside him.
"No time to talk, it's more serious!" Jeremy said. Odd and Yumi were now with them in Lyoko too. "Apparently if flashed too many times, the light can cause brain damage!" Jeremy yelled. "I just found out on a news report. It's not too bad yet, but it can eventually do so much damage to even kill you, and half of the city is blind now, and much of the people have amnesia because of the flashes. We have to hurry! Oh, and three mega-tanks, two crabs, and five hornets are on the way."
