Chapter 2: The First Strike

Bright radiant sunlight filled the waiting room of the hospital where Slyzer was sleeping as the nurses opened the curtains. "Get up sleepy-head," one of them was saying, "you can come see your friend now." At that Slyzer was wide awake, and heading towards the room at top speed. "Not so fast... young man slow down now this is a hospital for goodness sake!" Slyzer slowed a little bit, and started calling Ulrich.

"I'm heading toward her room right now! Get your ass over here!" Slyzer shouted into the phone, hanging up. Another nurse overheard and said, "Watch your language... young man now this is a hospital for goodness sake," but her words were long forgotten as Slyzer was running up the stairs. (Faster than those stupid elevators... I mean it's a hospital for god's sake, those things are slow here...) He got to Yumi's room and saw her parents just leaving.

"Hello Slyzer," Mrs. Ishyama said, sounding choked up.

"Is Yumi ok mam?" He asked quickly.

"They're.. they're.." and she started sobbing into her husbands shoulder.

"They aren't sure. Why don't you go see her now," Mr. Isyama finished for her. Slyzer ran in the room without another word and sat by Yumi.

"Slyzer?" She asked in a weak voice.

"Yes Yumi, I'm here. Ulrich and the others are coming," he replied.

"What happened Slyzer?"

"It's X.A.N.A., one of his hornets poisoned you. When you were headed to Jeremy's room."

"Oh yeah.. I remember something like that." Slyzer smiled, knowing she was joking with him. Suddenly Ulrich rushed in the room.

"YUMI!" he shouted. "Yumi are you ok?" ("Not so loud.. young man quiet down this is a hospital for goodness sake..")

"Hey Ulrich," she said smiling.

"Yumi are you ok? Are you going to be ok? How are you feeling?" Ulrich was bombarding the poor girl with questions.

"Shut the hell up Ulrich," Slyzer said camly after about the millioneth question he had forced Yumi to answer.

"NO YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!!! JUST.. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!" and he ran out of the room.

"Yup, he's takin' it hard," Odd said, walking in the room with Jeremy, Aelita, and Chandra. Chandra ran to Slyzer's arms, asking how Yumi was.

"Hey guys..thanks for coming...SHIT!" she said turning slightly green. The gang rushed out of the room as she puked all over the bed. The nurses ran in to help, shooing everyone out.

"Well what a visit, huh guys?" Odd asked.

"Tch, ya I'd say so Odd," Jeremy snapped.

"Well it looks like both you and Ulrich are getting a little angry over this whole thing," Chandra remarked.

"Just.. just shut up Chandra, shut up," Jeremy said harshly, running off.

"What'd you say Jeremy?" Slyzer asked, angry with him for talking to Chandra like that.

"Let it go Slyzer," Aelita said calmly.

"Yeah man there's no point in getting worked up about, then you'll be no better than them," Odd said, meaning Ulrich and Jeremy.

"You're right Odd, I guess we'd better head back to school huh?"

"And don't bother hurrying, it's Sunday," Aelita said, as everyone sprinted away. "Oh forget it.." she said to herself, running after them.

Odd and Aelita were playing board games in Aelita's room, Chandra and Slyzer were hanging out in Chandra's room, and Ulrich and Jeremy were sulking in their room's. Jeremy had distributed everyone's appropriate weapons to their rooms, just in case.

"Odd, can I ask you something?" Aelita asked.

"Sure princess, what's on your mind?"

"Well Odd, it's...it's Jeremy.. and Yumi.."

"Ok.. what about them?"

"Well, you know that Yumi was poisoned, going into Jeremy's room right?"

"Yeah."

"And you know what time it was right?"

"Yeah."

"And so what do you think she was doing in Jeremy's room at that time of night?" Odd almost laughed at the accusing look on Aelita's face.

"Don't worry Aelita, I see what you're getting at. She was probably just asking something about the whole X.A.N.A. thing... don't worry."

"If you say so Odd," Aelita said obviously not fully convinced.

"I do," he said locking her in a friendly hug.

"Thanks."

"So when do you think he's gonna attack again?" Chandra asked Slyzer, trying to act casual about it.

"Soon." Chandra waited to see if Slyzer was going to say more. He said nothing, so she asked, "How soon do you think?"

"Very soon Chandra. My guess is that he has received word that his scouts didn't return, so he'll be attacking.. wait a second," Slyzer said, thinking of something important, "there must be five scouts! That buys us a little time! If there are really five X.A.N.A.s, and he knows that we're all here, then he would send all of his scouts to us!"

"What if he only sends one?" Chandra asked.

"Well if there are five of him just as powerful as the original, there'd be no point in staying together, so they would most likely each have armies, and scouts, so there could be five or more.." And judging by the screams from outside, and the hornet buzzing past the window, Chandra guessed that Slyzer was right.

"Let's go," they said to one another, running out of the room, strapping on weapons.

Slyzer was dressed in a black belt with razor discs hanging from it, and on his arms he wore metal razor-sharp claws. They were back across his forearms now, but they could be flipped around into attack mode to really do some damage. Chandra had a highly dangerous and potentially explosive backpack-like device on her back. From it extended two tubes, which led to the knozzles which would shoot jets of fire, which were strapped around her forearms, like Slyzer's claws. It was all powered by the device on her back, the fire-pack. Although in Lyoko she had a small crossbow that shot fire arrows, it was not able to be made and materialized for actual use here. But the jets of fire were all she needed.

They burst through the doors and right into chaos. Everyone was running in entirely different directions, and the hornets, four of them, were buzzing about, firing at random targets with there all too real lasers. Immediately, without loosing her cool, Chandra scorched the closest two. One of them kept flying, but it soon met its fate to the slicing disc Slyzer hurled at it. But that was just taking the monsters by surprise. The hornets had now identified their targets and they moved in, poison ready to fly, lasers ready to be let loose. Chandra and Slyzer exchanged quick glances that said "Remember, I love you" and then moved in. The hornets fired as soon as they moved, which put the two fighters offguard a bit. This was all the monsters needed, and they fired rappidly, narrowly missing Chandra as Slyzer threw himself on to her to knock her out of the way.

There wasn't a moment to lose. The kids got up quickly and turned towards the buzzing monsters, which were coming in for another attack. Then out of nowhere they heard Odd shout, "They're just like bugs, and just like bugs, you gotta sqaush 'em!" He came from behind a corner of the building, and when they turned to look at the hornets, they saw that they were on the ground in oozing piles of green blood. Odd had fired his arrows and taken them down.

"Nice shooting Odd," Slyzer said.

"Heh heh.. no problem!"

Later the gang had re-grouped in Jeremy's room. They were all ready for the invasion. Ulrich and Jeremy were still sulking, but that couldn't be helped now, they had more important things to do. But somewhere in the real world, all too close, X.A.N.A.'s five forms weren't ready yet. The hornets were the only armies they had, although the gang did not know that. They were creating more monsters by the minute however, gathering their forces. So the invasion would be soon, but not just yet. It really is too bad those simple-minded children will drive themselves crazy waiting for an attack, and won't get much sleep, and things like that. It's too bad they won't be at their top form because of this.. but that can't be helped.
