Author's Note: Well, so far, not much action has gone on. But now, it is time to turn up the heat! What do I mean? Well, on with the showwwww!
............................................................................................................
Lyoko: The Forest Region. Ulreck, Odd, and Alieta can be seen running through the maze of paths and tree tunnels.
"Status!" Ulreck called.
"Keep going! You're almost there! No abnormalities yet!" Called Xana.
"That's nice to know!" Odd called back.
"I dunno, Odd, something doesn't feel right..."
"Ulreck, give it a rest man! Xana's a good guy today!"
"Yeah, but for how long?"
"Till tomorrow!"
"Will you two shut up?"
"Sorry Alieta!" Both said.
............................................................................................................
"HEY! What's going on?!?"
"Life points active? What...?"
"OH SHIT! IT'S A TRAP! LOOK OUT!!!"
............................................................................................................
"WHOA!"
The sudden issuance of that word caused Ulreck and Alieta to drop to the ground. A few seconds later as the two got up Ulreck, who was already in a touchy mood, yelled to Odd. "WHY, IN THE NAME OF ALL THING BRIGHT, DID YOU SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF US?!?!?"
"I-I-I'm sorry... I had a vision..." Odd stammered back.
"A vision? Of what?" Alieta inquired.
But before he could reply, a voice called out above them. "What the matter? Who's yelling?"
"It's nothing, we're fine! Proceeding toward the tower."
Continuing on, Alieta asked the question again. "I dunno... But, something gonna happen... Something bad..." Odd replied.
............................................................................................................
In the real world, Xana and Yumi were in the control room, eyes glued to the supercomputer console.
"They've reached the tower..." Yumi noted.
"Yes, they have. Ok, guys?" Xana said, "Before you go toward the tower, let me double check the software and scan the area? Don't go till I tell you, got it?"
"Yeah, sure." Came the reply.
But before he could start the scan, the screen flickered and went blank.
"Huh...?"
"Xana! What are you doing?"
"It's not me! I swear!!!"
The screen came back on and a picture of the symbol of Xana was on the screen. It stayed like that for a few seconds, then the symbol began to fade away, being replaced by a 3d head. The head was slim, and had sliver hair. The eyes were closed, but when it fully appeared, they opened, revealing two glowing green eyes. It spoke in an icy cold voice. "You've fallen for my trap."
Suddenly, the screen went back to normal and every alarm possible went off.
"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit...."
Xana was mashing keys on the keyboard; he was clearly in panic.
"What's going on?"
Yumi got her answer. "Life points are active, repeat, life points are active."
............................................................................................................
On Lyoko, things were about to get worse.
"HEY! What's going on?!?"
"Life points active? What...?"
"OH SHIT! IT'S A TRAP! LOOK OUT!!!"
"WHOA!"
All at once, 5 hornets attacked Ulreck, Odd and Alieta. Each one was fining madly. Alieta dived into a nearby tree stump, Ulreck whipped out his sword and began to deflect shots, and Odd took to the trees.
"I KNEW IT! HE COULDN"T BE TRUSTED!!!!" Shouted Ulreck.
"EASY! There must be a reason!" Alieta called back.
"XANA! What's going on!!!" Odd called.
"It-it's not me!! Sephiroth has taken control!!! He tricked me! He tricked us!"
"Yes. And now I shall be the supreme ruler of both the digital and real world!"
"NO!"
Ulreck and Odd had managed to knock out 2 of the 5 hornets after them. "ALIETA! When we say so run for the tower!!!" Ulreck shouted.
"OK!"
Odd was having the time of his life. "What's the matter, ugly? Didn't drink your coffee this morning? Ha, ha!" Using the tree for cover, he was taunting the hornet after him. "HA! You missed! You could hit the broad side of a door!"
Ulreck was taking a more different approach. He was circling the tree making the hornet after him think that was the same path he would take.
Alieta's hornet was attacking the tree stump she was hiding in. "Ulreck! Odd! Someone! Help!"
It was Ulreck who finally made the move. Ulreck altered his path and made a beeline toward the hornet attacking Alieta. Using his sword, he pole-vaulted into the hornet, blowing it up. He then picked up his sword and finally dispatched the one after him. "SCORE! Alieta! Go NOW!"
Alieta leaped out of the tree stump and went into the tower, just as Odd destroyed his hornet and leapt down to where Ulreck was.
"Ok, the program is active! Code has been changed...... NOW! Go for it!"
Ulreck and Odd looked up to the tower. It was turning green. "YES! Xana, it worked! The tower is green!"
............................................................................................................
In the control room Xana and Yumi were cheering. "Alright! Ulreck, Odd, get into the tower, you can go to other regions from it." Xana called.
Xana then turned to Yumi. "You need to take my place."
"Huh?"
"I'm going after Sephiroth. Here's how to work the program..."
