Ughhh... I'm sorry this chapter is extremely late, but I was VERY busy. Please accept my humblest apologies.
Chapter 7: Activation
"Yes, just one. RUN!!!! Another coming right up!" Fianna screamed.
They raced down to a tunnel and slid down swiftly. "What's at the end of this tunnel?"
"Well, a sheer drop..." Yumi began.
"Great. AHHHH!!!!" Fianna shrieked.
Yumi somersaulted and landed on her feet. Fianna landed in a drift of snow headfirst. "Now where do we to go?" Yumi asked as she stood up.
"Forest region. Hey, do you how to defeat a shadow?" Fianna said.
"Oh, light, of course!" Yumi exclaimed.
"Okay, let's go and make light!" Fianna and Yumi plowed on through the snow and ice.
"Well, how are we going to make light?" Yumi asked, confused.
"I could ask the trees to move apart to let sunlight in," Fianna suggested.
"Okay. Now hurry!!" Yumi shouted as X.A.N.A. sped up a little. The girls sprinted as fast as possible and soon reached the forest. Fianna knelt and sang a pure note. Yumi watched her protectively. If Fianna messed up, they were both dead. She eyed X.A.N.A. approaching apprehensively. "Hurry up Fianna. Big, bad and ugly is seconds away!" she warned.
"I know. It will work, I promise."
Fianna focused extremely hard. "I have to do this right," she thought urgently. "If not, we are so busted! ...There. Finally. Just wait..... NOW!"
X.A.N.A. had reached the clearing. He was drifting to Yumi, intent on strangling her. Fianna shoved the trees apart mentally, and they complied willingly. X.A.N.A. was coiling around Yumi's neck when sunlight burst in from the canopy. The shadow seems to shriek in anger and pain and began to dissolve. Seconds before it vanished, it formed into a towering Crab. "Uh–oh. I was hoping it would die already," Fianna sweat–dropped.
In the factory
"Uh guys? Not to pressure you or anything, but X.A.N.A. has 1000 lifepoints! Hurry up!!!" Jeremie cried, his voice raising an octave.
Yumi's voice rose from the screen. "Sure. No prob. We'll just kill this Crab that has 1000 lifepoints and go home, why don't we Fianna? If you haven't noticed, we don't have full lifepoints!"
"Shut up, Yumi. Freaking out won't do a thing," Fianna instructed. Yumi took a deep, calming breath. "Jeremie, how many lifepoints do we have?"
"Yumi has 95 lifepoints. Fianna, you have 90..." Jeremie started
"Thanks to that spectacular faceplant," Odd butted in.
"Oh shut it, Odd," Fianna scowled. Odd smirked though Fianna couldn't see.
"Hey guys, why don't you stop distracting them? They have enough work as it is," Ulrich suggested.
"Yeah. That would be nice!" Yumi yelled.
"Oh yeah, Yumi. Go side with your boyfriend," Odd cracked. Yumi and Ulrich blushed.
"Everyone, just shut up already, except Aelita and Jeremie. They are already quiet," Fianna ordered.
In the Lyoko forest region
Jeremie's voice rained down on them. "Keep going, guys! He only had 530 lifepoints left, while Yumi has 80 and Fianna has 75."
"Okay."
X.A.N.A. growled and scuttled away. "It's not the last of me. You will see." Suddenly the Crab disappeared.
Aelita's voice rang out from all around. "Guys! A tower has been activated!"
Fianna panicked. "How will we deactive it? It's Aelita who does that!"
"No time! Go! We're being attacked by evil squirrels!!!!" Odd screamed.
"Are you joking, Odd?" Yumi asked in disbelief.
"No, he's right for once. The tower is in the polar region. Go!" Jeremie yelled before being dragged off by a swarm of squirrels.
"Come on, we've got a tower to deactivate!" Yumi commanded.
"Yes sir, yes sir!" Fianna saluted in attention.
"The pulsations lead that way!" Yumi discovered.
"Okay! We'll follow the yellow–brick road of pulsations. Follow the yellow–brick pulsations, follow the yellow–brick pulsations!" Fianna sang, skipping off.
Yumi groaned. "Shut up!" Fianna did. "Thank you. Let's go."
I'm in a giving mood. Most likely because my cousins are finally gone. Here you are!
