Endgame
I don't own Code Lyoko
Chapter 5: Advanced Robotics
The three materialized in above the desert region and dropped down to the ground. They stood up and looked around the area for trouble. Just then, Aeltita came from behind a rock and said, "Welcome to Lyoko, everyone." "Aelita." Yumi replied as the group walked over to her. "Have you encountered any monster's yet?" Ulrich asked. "No," Aelita replied, "not yet." "Well, its XANA's habit," Odd said," he always saves the best for last."
"Jeremy," Ulrich began," did you locate the tower?" "Its five miles west of your location. No enemies detected." Jeremy replied. "Alright, time for some cross country running." Odd replied. With that, the gang started to head to the position. But, just then, Jeremy called into the headset, "Everyone, stop!" "What is it?" Yumi asked. "I just got a strong reading of a lot of enemies in the area." "So, we'll take them." Odd said back, putting his hand to his arrow launcher. "The thing is, it looks like they're coming, but disappearing at the same time." Jeremy replied, looking at the screen displaying monster icons that were doing what he just said.
"Maybe it's a trap." Aelita pondered. "Most likely," Yumi said, "but, we should arm ourselves before we go any further. " "Good idea." Ulrich replied as he and Yumi drew their sword and metal fan and Odd readied his laser arrows. The four then walked a few more meters and then stopped. "Aelita, wait here." Odd said. "Okay." She replied. "On the count of three, we move in." Ulrich said. "One.... Two...Three!" With that, the team ran into the area and readied for combat. But what they saw was even more stranger then anything else.
"Aelita. Come here." Ulrich said. 'What is it." She asked. "What is that?" he asked, pointing to an object that was square and had a light on top of it. "I don't know." Aelita replied. "Hey guys," Jeremy said to them, "its appears that's where the pulsation's are coming from." "That's not the end of it." Odd replied, pointing to a large hole in the ground. The team looked in and couldn't believe what they also had their eyes upon.
"Hey Jeremy." Ulrich called out. "Yeah." Jeremy replied. "We found out were the monsters are going." He replied. "What do you mean?" he asked. "There appears to be some pipe on the side of this large hole." Aelita said. "And it's dumping all of XANA monsters down into the digital void." Yumi finished. "What?" Jeremy asked with some shock in his voice. "I mean," Odd started, "there's Crabs, Blocks, and even Guardians. It's like some kind of Garbage Dumb here. "That doesn't make any sense," Jeremy began," why would he set up a false beacon and jus show you the destruction of his army unless...." He trailed off for a few seconds, then shouted into the microphone, "Get out!" "What do mean?" "Don't' ask! Just get the hell out of the area!" Jeremy continued to shout into the headset.
"Come on Jeremy," Odd replied, "What could..." He was cut short as three laser beams hit his side and knocked him to the ground. "It's a trap!" Jeremy shouted. "What gave it away?" Odd replied as he got back up. "You already lost thirty points. Ten for each laser." Jeremy told him. "Just where did it come from?" Ulrich asked, his sword raised. "Looks like we'll find out." Aelita said. They turned around and stood in shock. Behind them were three very familiar creatures. They were robots that looked like human skeletons, only taller. Their claw like hands were curled into fists and their eyes starred at the four with a piercing glance. Two of them had large cylinders on top of both their wrists, while the other one didn't.
"I thought we took care of them." Yumi said, her metal fan ready to be thrown. Just then, one of the robots then bent down. "Looks like we didn't do it enough." Ulrich said, his sword raised. The kneeling robot then leaped into the air as the others began a barrage of laser fire in a rapid succession. Yumi and Odd jumped out of the way of the lasers as the robot that had jumped was preparing to drill his fist into Aelita. Aelita screamed as it came down, but Ulrich blocked the blow with his sword. The robot jumped back and unleashed a swift punch to Ulrich's stomach, knocking him down to the ground.
"Watch out for those punches. They do fifty points of damage. By the way, you now have fifty points left, Ulrich." Jeremy responded. "Thanks for the info." Ulrich said in an angry tone as he used the katana to block more of the blows. Meanwhile, Odd was shouting laser arrows at the creature, yet they seemed to have no effect. "Hey guys," he called out, "these things have stronger armor then the other run of the mill monsters!" The machine then unleashed another barrage of laser fire at Odd. He jumped it, but some hit his foot. He rolled out and started to fire more laser arrows to try and hold it off.
Yumi had her own problems. She was using her fan as a shield as the laser fire kept coming in a rapid motion. Then, Yumi rolled to the side and launched her fan at it. The robot then grabbed the fan out of the air and threw it aside. It then unleashed another barrage of lasers, which knocked Yumi to the ground. "Yumi, you've lost forty points." Jeremy said. But, Yumi wasn't listening, for the machine was heading towards Aelita. Yumi then focused her hands to her head and said "Telekinesis." With that, she her body glowed and a giant rock lifted into the air and moved over the machine. The robot prepared to fire, but looked up as the giant rock dropped onto his body, covering him except for one of its arms. The remaining arm went up, and then dropped limp to the ground.
Odd was dodging the laser fire the another machine was coming near the edge of the hole. He then got an idea. He started to run around the machine, causing it to uncontrollably spray laser fire everywhere. Thus, some of the lasers hit the other robot, pushing it to the ledge. Odd then dodged one last blast that hit the machine, knocking it finally over the edge. Seeing this as a chance to strike, Ulrich yelled, "Triangulate!" as he got into a fast run and moved in a triangular motion, creating three clones in the corners. The robot fired energy blasts at two of the clones, but then the real Ulrich came up behind him and jammed his sword in its back. The machine staggered a few paces, then dropped to the ground, motionless.
Back in the real world...
Sissy, Herb, and Nicholas meet each other at the elevator. "How did it go?" Herb asked. "In another seven minutes, this place is going to pull a disappearing act." Nicholas said. "That should also be enough time for the boiler to go." Sissy added in. "Excellent," Herb said, "Now, let's go take care of the one who stands in XANA's way." With that, the three went towards the elevator.
Who is the one who stands in XANA's way? Is it Jeremy? Find out in Chapter 6!
