I opened my mouth to make up some excuse for why I had to go, but before I got a word out one of the girls screamed. Instantly my attention snapped to who had screamed. It was Sydney! She was running with Anna and Rei right behind her.

"What's going on?" I asked

"There's some weird….thing that's shooting lazer beams or something!" Rei exclaimed.

"It's huge!" Anna continued, "It's all red with four big legs that are like eight or nine feet tall! Either way, it's more that twice our size!"

"Where's Hope?" I asked as I scanned the area trying to find her. By the sounds of it, it seemed that Xana got one of his monsters out again. I wouldn't know how, but all I was really concerned with at the moment is where Hope was.

"She's right behind….." Rei started, but she must have realized Hope wasn't there, "Holy fricken shit!"

"Don't tell me that hot head thought she could take that thing on!" Anna exclaimed as she whipped around to see Hope wasn't there.

"Say what?!" I shouted

"That moron!" Sydney snapped, "If she honestly thinks she can take that thing on without Samantha being with her she's crazier than I thought."

God, Hope doesn't know what she's getting herself into! I handed Joel to Rei as I ran in the direction the three girls had come from.

There was nothing but grass and trees, and a few boulders.

"How did that thing get out?" I heard some one whisper

"How should I know? I didn't even know that they could get here." Another voice I recognized replied.

It was Hope! I looked around but I couldn't see her, but what I did see was one of Xana's crabs. It was walking around the park like it was looking for something.

"Kane you can't take that thing on yourself!" the first voice hissed

"And I won't, just make sure you're watching my back!" with that I saw Hope jump out of one of the trees.

"Yo crabby!" She called, "Looking for some one?"

The crab turned around and looked strait at Hope.

"Hope get out of there!" I shouted as I ran towards her.

"Odd?!" She looked at me.

Suddenly Samantha jumped in front of me and tackled me down to the ground.

"Stay out of this blondie!" she snapped.

"Do you realize what she's doing?" I snapped back

"Do you?" She replied looking over at Hope… who just threw her dagger right into the crab's laser canon.

Okay that's new… But the crab didn't want to go down easy. They never did anyways.

"Sam, flip!" Hope shouted as she ran towards us.

Samantha got off me and crouched down,

"One for the money,"

"Two for the show," Hope continued as she came closer to Samantha who had her hands by her knees,

"Three to get ready," Samantha said as Hope jumped and landed her feet in her hands,

"Here we go!" Hope shouted as Samantha launched her into the air.

She did a couple of back flips and landed right on the crabs back…well, almost right on the crabs back.

"Over shot much?" Hope called as she pulled herself onto the crabs back.

"Hey it got you up there didn't it?" Samantha called back.

"What… How…. Huh?" I felt very confused at the moment.

I mean, how did they just do that, and how did Hope know where to aim? I just sat there feeling more confused than what I do when Jeremy goes into his one of his long explanations about Lyoko.

"Um…." Samantha looked around as if she was trying to think of an answer.

There was a loud crashing noise as I heard Hope scream as she flew through the air and landed on the ground.

"Hope!" I ran over to her, "Are you okay?"

"Fine….fine." she said as she rubbed her head

"Are you sure?" I asked as I looked to see if she broke an arm or something.

Hey, I was worried about her. That fall looked like it had to hurt.

"I'm fine Odd." She said as Samantha laughed

"You sound like her husband blondie." She said as she laughed harder.

"Sam!" Hope shouted as she blushed.

"Okay, okay. But seriously Kane, you need to lose a few pounds."

"Say what?! First you diss me about getting pregnant now your dissing my weight?" Hope shouted as she chased Samantha around, "I'll get you Samantha!"

At that point, my cell phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I answered

"Odd, where are you?" a very annoyed Jeremy asked.

"I'm in the park—"

"Well get to the factory! Yumi's already lost all her life points, Ulrich only has twenty—correction, make that ten life points, and Aelita isn't anywhere near the tower. On top of that, Xana is sending his monsters out into the real world!"

"I've kinda figured that part out already." I said, putting my ear back to the phone, "Hope and her friend Samantha just took care of a crab."

"Who did what?" Jeremy shouted.

"I'll explain later, I'm on my way."

I told Hope and Samantha goodbye, but I don't think they really heard me….

(a/n: that it for now folks. I don't really know how to do the whole transfer to Lyoko so that will be a flash back type thing. Check out my bio page thing for news on upcoming stories and plans for the future.)
