A/N: This is the second part of the last chapter. After writing it, I really liked the way it turned out. Hope you do too. Don't forget to R&R! Thanks in advance.

In Lyoko---
"Odd, why did you stop?" Yumi asked.
"What the?" I said looking around. 'Yumi and Aelita are both alive but how?' I thought.
"Uh...um...Oh!" my revelation hit me, "Now I get it. Guys, I just had a vision! Even thought we can't see them, there are a ton of monsters behind those rocks and if we charge right at 'em we'll be dead." I then pointed to the overlapping rocks on both sides.
"Then we need to draw them out." Yumi replied throwing her fan down the sandy road. We all watched as it glided through the middle of the unofficial street and came back. On its return trip it was greeted by a bombardment of lasers. As Yumi caught her fan four hornet flew toward us and the three mega tanks rolled out from their places. Simultaneously, Aelita and I jumped and rolled behind a rock to our right. Yumi jumped to her left and did the same. Lasers from the crabs started to pound our cover. I could feel the ground shake.
"Okay, the hornets have broken off into two groups of two and they're coming in." Jeremy said unaware that he shouted.
Yumi leaped above her rock and threw her fan at the hornets. Her action was met with crab laser blasts but she didn't get hit. I heard her count, "One...two...three!" and jumped above the rock catching her fan. Then I realized that she had missed and that the hornet were coming in from behind.
"Yumi! Behind you!" I warned seeing the two insects take aim. Yumi let out a scream as she put her fan in front of her deflecting the first hornets' shot right at the other.
"Laser Arrow!" I shouted at pointed my wrist at the second bug and fired, "Gotcha!"
"Thanks Odd." She complimented me. Then I felt a sharp pain in my back and was flung face down in the open.
"Odd behind you!" Jeremy said. I turned on my back in time to see Aelita take a laser shot and responded by getting up and diving at the two hornets firing wildly. I can't remember how many arrows I fired but it was enough to kill both.
"Odd, you have four shots left," Jeremy announced, "Be careful! Aelita are you okay?"
"Yes, I alright." She replied breathing heavily, "So who's left?"
"You got three tanks and three crabs. Yumi you're at 80. Odd you're at 60 and Aelita you're at 70." Jeremy reported.
"The tanks are hiding again and the crabs are too far away." Yumi told me. "We have to advance."
"Aelita, you stay here while Odd and I go to the next rock." Yumi instructed Aelita. She nodded back. "Okay, Odd let's go." I ran on the left side of the boulder and dove to the back of the next closest rock once again dodging laser fire from the three crabs. As I dove I felt a tingling sensation in my leg. Instantly, I knew that a crab had hit me. Without warning they halted their firing. 'What's going on?' I thought and then I heard the unmistakable rolling of a mega tank. I looked up as I lay in the sand I saw one stop right in front of me. Instinctively, I rolled to my side. The tank fired a huge circle of light. It missed me, though. I felt a moment of relief and realized that I was about two feet away from its eye. As the blinding beam retracted I fired an arrow following it. To my surprise it actually went in and hit. The tank rolled backwards towards the crabs and exploded near the base of the tower. The crabs tried to move but they were boxed in too tightly because of all the rocks so they were all dismantled from the resulting blast.
"Way to go Odd! Now only two tanks left!" Jeremy cheered. I looked over at Yumi and she giggled as I rested for a minute.
"What's so funny?" I asked
"Oh, nothing. For a minute, I thought that you had actually planned that out." Yumi sliced me open with that comment. "But you did do good so don't get me wrong."
"Here they come." Jeremy said. I looked towards the tower and the two tanks were marching side by side.
"Yumi, use your fan. I'll draw them out." I said jumping in the middle of the red dirt road. The tanks stopped, opened their shells and released two cross cutting sections of laser. I preformed a back flip and then a roll which evaded only one of their attacks. Yumi had her hands empty so I knew that she had thrown her fan. 'Only one left,' I thought, 'you can do it Yumi.' Then I was no more.
"Odd, no!" I heard Aelita cry as I caught my fan.
"Stay there!" I shouted at her and ducked. The tank I hit exploded which sent shock waved all over Lyoko.
"Yumi, only 40 life points left!" Jeremy said.
The other tank was lifted up in the air from the explosion. As it came down I noticed that it was on the edge. I threw my fan at it trying to knock it off but it didn't work. However, it was still struggling to maintain control. I rushed over to the black ball put my shoulder against it hoping to push it off the edge. For a few seconds, I shoved as hard as I could. 'If only Ulrich were here...' I thought. Then I remembered that Aelita was still here.
"Aelita, help me!" I pleaded feeling my feet slip backwards. Then I felt the ground rumble. I looked down and there was a rock in the form of a semi-circle protruding from the sands. 'It's Aelita!' I thought then I heard the releasing of energy as the mega tank fired and devirtualized me.
"Aelita you did it!" Jeremy announced as I watch with amazement as the last mega tanks rolled into deletion.
"Okay, Aelita, go deactivate the tower. Yumi and Odd are safe." Jeremy said. 'I'm so glad that I have friends that I can count on to fight X.A.N.A. with.' I thought as I entered in my password.
"Return to the past now!" Jeremy said as a white light engulfed me.
