Chapter Seven: The Plot Thickens

I'm so sorry it's taking me this long to update, please continue to review. You guys are the best for putting up with me. This chapter has a very strange twist to it, but I hope it's a good one.

Siberian-Tigress: Thanks I thought changing his powers would add a little more twist to the story.

Hikaru: Thanks a lot something very important with Odd's new powers is going to happen.

Dragon C. Chan: Right back at you.

Odd's POV

I was a shadow, which was pretty cool. No one could hit me. Suddenly Jeremie's voice came out of the sky. "Odd," he said. "Try to become absorbed by the ground."

"What?" I asked completely confused.

"Just do it!" Jeremie shouted.

"Fine!" I shouted up to him.

I don't know how I did it, but I became absorbed into the ground. I looked like a shadow on the ground that didn't have an owner. I could move as a shadow! I slipped behind the crab, un-shadowed, or whatever you call it, and shouted, "Dark arrow"

What looked like an arrow made out of shadow destroyed the crab. Aelita then destroyed the mega-tank.

Jeremie's POV

I was trying to hack into the tower to see what X.A.N.A. was trying to do. The scan had picked up an activated tower, but I couldn't find anything wrong. Then, I saw something on my screen. "Guys!" I shouted. X.A.N.A. has created a new type of monster. It looks like an ordinary human, but it's a lot more powerful and had two-hundred life points."

I heard Odd and Aelita groan. "Be careful, X.A.N.A. sent two of them after you. There is no attack on Earth; X.A.N.A. is just using the tower as a battery to power his monsters. Odd, if they destroy you, Aelita's done for."

"Don't worry, Jeremie," Aelita said. "We'll prevail."

Odd's POV

I saw two shapes running across the trees. They both looked exactly alike, green eyes, long red straight hair, and each one had a long pole with a black jewel on the end of it.

When I saw them, my blood boiled. I don't know what I did, but I felt myself reach for hidden potential in my body. I felt knew energies flow over me, and my power skyrocketed.

The two figures in front of us smiled. One of them raised their hand and sent a fireball straight at Samantha's head. She de-virtualized instantly.

The other started talking in a cool and nasty voice. "We are new creations and messengers of the master," it said. "That virus the master infected you with was more than an attempt to annihilate all of you. It rated everything about you from the inside out to see if you would serve the master."

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused. I really wanted to just kick their asses but I might find out something important.

"The master finds you special, Odd," the other said. He wants you to serve him, and when you do he will unlock your sacred powers. What you just felt was only the tip of the ice burg. Lyoko is ancient, and it's secrets and strength go back before the creation of Earth. So Odd, come with us!"

I had no idea what the hell I was supposed to do. So I decided to let my instincts do it for me, as I charged them.
