Back to Lyoko
"Aelita... do you know where this tower is or do we need to ask Jeremie for assistance?" "He told me about it earlier. It's here in the forest region, I should be able to find it easily." The group began to walk. Now would be a perfect time to talk to her... Ulrich thought. He was walking directly beside Yumi, and was peeking out the corner of his eye at her every time she looked the other way. One of these days she's going to catch me looking at her. Might as well tell her before then. His thoughts were interrupted by Jeremie's frantic voice. "You have a lot of enemies heading towards you guys." "Which direction?" Yumi asked. "Actually... All of them, at least 4 flanks of crabs on each side of you." "Thanks for warning us so soon." Ulrich said cynically. "They weren't there a minute ago! The computer alarm went off to signal that there were enemies, I looked over and there weren't any, so I went back to reprogramming Kiks. It went off again, I looked, nothing there... then BAM! They appeared, OUT OF NOWHERE!" "Strange." Aelita commented. "I wonder how far away they are." "You can stop wondering!" Odd shouted, jumping in front of her as fleets of crabs started advancing. "LASER ARROWS!" He yelled, shooting down 2 of the crabs and jumping out of the way of several more lasers that were shooting at him. Yumi had done the same thing from the other side, throwing her 2 fans and knocking out 3 of the crabs progressing on her side. After a few moments, they were all back-to-back, trying to turn so that all the crabs would be on one side of them, with no success.
"They're surrounded!" Kiks cried nervously. "You finished reprogramming me, now you have to let me help them!" "No way." Jeremie replied. "Ulrich told me not to send you in, and so did Odd. When Odd says don't send you in, that's the way it's going to be." "If they materialize right now, there is no way that Aelita's going to make it out of there. I'm a lot stronger than them at this point in time, look." She said, pointing at the life points on the screen, which had fallen unusually low. "Just let me go in. I've learned quite a few things about these enemies, surprise is how they work, and its how they get killed to. If I surprise them, I can knock them all out at once. Please Jeremie. I know you don't want anything to happen to Aelita and the others." Jeremie looked at her contemplatively, and finally replied. "Fine. I'll send you in, but you are going to be REALLY careful, and if anyone asks you pressured me." "Deal. Where's the scanner room?" He gestured to the door with his head. "Hurry." "You bet. Just make sure you don't fall out of your chair when you see my form." "Cocky... just like Odd." "That hurt more than what Ulrich said to me last night." She joked, dropping down the shaft. She hurried over into one of the scanners and signaled to Jeremie. "Here goes nothing. Transfer Kiks. Scan Kiks. Visualization!"
