This story has been sitting in my computer for too long so I will finish it now, reviews or no reviews. I also accept anonymous reviews if you don't want to leave a signed one.
CLOSE CALL
Yumi lowered Jeremy back onto the platform and X.A.N.A. stood in awe.
"So it seems you've got me beat, right," said X.A.N.A.
"That right X.A.N.A," said Yumi.
"Ah, but you're wrong there Yumi," said X.A.N.A.
X.A.N.A snapped his fingers and six Metal Men appeared.
"Now I take my leave," said X.A.N.A.
X.A.N.A. turned around to see a big surprise.
"What, your supposed to be dead," said X.A.N.A.
"Key word supposed," said KC.
KC throws an electric energy blast at X.A.N.A and sends him flying over the railing. But when KC checks to see if X.A.N.A. is still falling, but X.A.N.A. is gone. The Metal Men and X.A.N.A'S Creeper guards had left also.
"Where did he go?" asked Tyson.
"Your guess is as good as mine," said KC.
"I thought you were dead," said Adam.
"Nah, it takes more than ZED to kill me," said KC.
"Well I guess we can get out of here now," said Moen.
Then they heard moaning coming form behind them.
"Hey I guess Ulrich finally decide to join the party. Too bad the party is over," said Odd.
Tyson helped Ulrich stand up and get his balance.
"Man why do I feel so weak all of a sudden?" asked Ulrich.
"It's because you haven't walked or used any other function of your body for about 2000 years," said Jeremy.
"How is that possible?" asked Ulrich.
"Well ZED forwarded time 2000 years and in return forgot to apply that to the physical attributes of the human race. So with that everyone's bodies aged but didn't die off. If they get released it feels like you've been in a coma for about two years," said Jeremy.
Everyone looked at Jeremy with confused faces.
"Einstein you've got to stop talking genius, because we can't understand it," said Odd.
"Ok just for ODD I'll explain it in terms that you all can understand. ZED put you to sleep for 2000 years with out changing your age," said Jeremy.
"Couldn't have put it better my self Einstein," said Odd.
"One of these days Odd you're gonna get it," said Jeremy.
"Ooh I'm shaking with fear," said Odd.
Then Aelita came running back to the group. No one noticed that she had left.
"Guys we have a problem," said Aelita.
"What?" asked Odd.
Then Aelita notices KC.
"KC, I thought you were dead," said Aelita.
"No, I used my cloaking power to escape ZED'S clutches," said KC.
"Enough talk what's the problem," said Tyson.
"It's kind of hard to explain, you'll have to see for your selves," said Aelita.
Everyone followed Aelita to the entrance door and they all stepped outside.
"Oh shit," said Ulrich.
Part of the land in front of the tower had sunken into the ground leaving a bridge. The only problem was that there were two Metal Men on the other side. Behind the Metal Men was a group of Mega Tanks Creepers and Scorpions.
"Anyone got an Escape Plan?" asked Kai.
"I thought the plan was to just walk out of here," said Moen.
"Looks like we need a new plan," said Kai.
"Why don't we call Charlie," said Gear.
"Gear your crazy you know Charlie doesn't want any part in this war," said Kai.
"Yeah I know but he's the only one with a truck big enough to make a dent in this army," said Gear.
"That's right, but he still won't do it," said Kai.
"There's only one way to find out," said Gear.
"Ok just what do you plan to call him with," said Kai.
Gear pulls out a Cell phone and types in Charlie's phone number.
"That won't work, there's no service anymore," said Kai.
"It's ringing," said Gear.
A few seconds later Charlie picks up.
"Hello," said Charlie.
"Charlie I nee a favor," said Gear.
"No, I don't do rescue missions," said Charlie.
"I know but you like to blow shit up right," said Gear.
"Go on," said Charlie.
"Well I'm not asking you to rescue us just blow up the shit blocking our exit," said Gear.
"," (Charlie's phone.)
"Charlie, you there," said Gear.
"," (Charlie's phone.)
Gear hung up his phone.
"So is he coming?" asked Kai.
"Your guess is as good as mine," said Gear.
"Told you he wouldn't do it," said Kai.
"So what do we do now?" asked Adam.
"Just sit and wait for ZED to come and get us I guess," said Odd.
A few minutes if silence went by and then Ulrich spoke up.
"Jeremy can't you figure a way for us to get out of this mess?" asked Ulrich.
"I don't know," said Jeremy.
"Jeremy just pretend it' s Lyoko and do what you always do," said Yumi.
Jeremy stood up and looked at the line of enemies. Then he saw what appeared to be a mortar falling out of the sky.
"Look Jeremy has mortaring powers," said Odd.
"Odd I'm not doing that," said Jeremy.
Then the mortar hit one of the Scorpions and the scorpion blew up. Next there was a blaze of Hell Fire rockets as they bombarded ZED'S blockade.
"Hell yeah this is what war is about," said Tyson.
In a matter of seconds the blockade was reduced to nothing but black and green parts and some fire. In the background everyone could see a huge vehicle. It looked like a tank but was twice as long and twice as tall.
"What is that?" asked Adam.
"That's The Behemoth," said Gear.
"I guess Charlie decided to come after all," said Kai.
Everyone ran from the tower across the bridge. But the bridge was rigged. Odd was leading the pack as they crossed the middle and the bombs under the bridge blew. The middle fell and took Odd with it. But the back of Odds shirt got caught on the rock and he was hanging over the edge.
"ODD!" yelled Yumi.
Kai ran to the edge and grabbed Odd by his shirt and lifted him onto the bridge. Odd was shaking and had a very scared look in his eyes.
"Someone take care of Odd," said Kai.
Yumi came over and helped Odd stand up.
"Ulrich come help," said Yumi.
Ulrich came over and helped Yumi hold Odd up and Kai talked to Charlie.
"Charlie I owe you one for this," said Kai.
"Well I figured if my friends are in trouble then I should help," said Charlie.
Charlie started to walk away when Kai asked.
"Were are you going."
"To get you guys a bridge," said Charlie.
A few seconds later Charlie backed The Behemoth up and dropped the back hatch until it came flush with the broken bridge. Everyone got into The Behemoth and Charlie closed the back door. But just before the door closed a large amount of laser fire entered the bay of the Behemoth. Tyson fell to the ground and everyone looked out side to see nothing.
"TYSON!" yelled Adam.
Adam ran to Tyson to see that he was hit in the back by a dozen laser shots. Charlie was screaming to his men to get some medical attention. One of the radar watchers said that there were six flying monsters out side and something really big coming. So Charlie's medics took Tyson to the hospital room and Adam joined the rest of the gang in the control room.
"Looks as if we have a few hornets out there," said Charlie.
"Those aren't hornets, they are wasps," said Jeremy.
"All right I go these guys," said Odd.
"Odd don't be stupid, you don't have any weapons," said Yumi.
"Yeah and you've just recovered from a near fall that could have killed you," said Ulrich.
"Guys," said KC as he pulled a black box out of his pocket.
"What's that?" asked Jeremy.
"I don't believe it," said Aelita.
"What?" said Kai.
"It's a shrink box," said Aelita.
KC pushed the red button and the box grew three times its size and was now as big as a safe. KC opened the safe to reveal a shit load of weapons. He then pulled out a sword bottom the D.C-11 mini laser and two seeker disks.
"Your weapons," said KC.
"All right," said Odd.
"Sorry to interrupt but we need to get out of here now," said Charlie.
"Why, I was just about to have some fun," said Odd.
Charlie puts and image up on a screen.
"This is why," said Charlie.
"Holy cow," said Jeremy.
"It's a Mega tank," said Yumi.
"Yeah but look at the size," said Aelita.
"That thing is twice the size of a normal Mega Tank," said Odd.
"It's like a Super Tank," said Ulrich.
"ZED really went out of his way this time," said Moen.
"OK EVERYONE SIT DOWN AND STRAP IN!" yelled Charlie.
Everyone but Odd sat down and buckled up.
"This tub can't out run a mega tank," said Odd.
Charlie looks back as if he was going to tell Odd to sit down but instead he looked forward and hit the gas. Immediately Odd was thrown backwards and Kai caught him. The Behemoth was picking up speed at a very fast pace but the Super Tank was closing in.
"Holy shit I didn't know this thing had so much torque," said Odd.
"You'd be surprised at what this thing doesn't have. Now buckle up," said Kai.
Charlie was yelling directions for the gunmen to take out the hornets. So in a matter of seconds the 18 gunmen took out the six hornets. Then there was a huge blast and The Behemoth's rear end was lifted off the ground and then fell down.
"I need all weapon power diverted to the long nine's," said Charlie.
"What are the long nine's?" asked Moen.
"Those three nine foot cannons on top of this rig," said Charlie.
"I sure hope those things have enough power to take out that Super Tank," said Jeremy.
"Don't worry they have way more than enough power. We're going to murder that hunk of junk," said Charlie.
A few seconds later a signal was given and the gunner fired one of the nine-foot cannons. The blast just missed the Super tank.
"Fire again," said Charlie
Another nine-foot cannon was fired at the Super Tank. This time it hit the outer shell but didn't do any damage.
"Man this thing is unstoppable," said Charlie.
"No it's not," said Odd. "Just wait for it to open and then hit the giant laser gun inside."
"And how do you know that this will work," said Charlie.
"Trust me I've battled these things many times," said Odd.
"Yeah except they weren't twice the size," said Ulrich.
So they drove for a really long time, at least an hour before Charlie got frustrated.
"Ok why isn't this thing opening up?" asked Charlie.
"Well it can't drive and fire," said Jeremy.
"So what do I do?" asked Charlie.
"Stop," said KC.
"Stop, that's just crazy enough to work," said Charlie.
So Charlie put the brakes on and The Behemoth came so a stop. The Super Tank bought the trap it was being led into and stopped just in range. The Super Tank then opened up and charged its cannon. Charlie ordered all long nines to aim at the Super Tanks cannon. When the Cannons were aimed the cannons were fired. The Super Tank was done charging and fired at The Behemoth. Two of the blasts from The Behemoth stopped the Super Tanks blast wave, and the third long nine blast hit the Super Tanks cannon dead on. The Super Tank shut and flew backwards, then blew up.
"Now that's what I call an explosion," said Charlie.
"We'd better get out of here before ZED'S reinforcements arrive," said Jeremy.
"How do you know that he will bring reinforcements," said Charlie.
"From experience," said Jeremy.
"Whatever," said Charlie.
"I think he may be right. Besides we don't want another close call like that again," said Kai.
"Ok well just head to my hide out and you guys can plan your attack there," said Charlie.
"No we should head back the main base," said Kai.
"Oh, you mean the smoldering heap that's in front of us," said Charlie.
Everyone looked at the monitor displaying the base. The whole thing was up in smoke. Dead bodies were in the rubble also parts of Mega Tanks and Crabs lay in the battlefield.
"I guess it's your base we are going to," said Kai.
Then an officer walks into the room with Adam. Adam doesn't look too happy.
"What's wrong Adam?" asked Yumi.
"Tyson's dead," said Adam.
The room was silent for a bit, then Charlie ordered Tyson's body to be put in the rubble with the other dead bodies. The Behemoth drove off to the south to the Golf of Mexico. It stopped at a base and everyone unloaded and walked into Charlie's hide out. The gang then began to plan where to go next. Charlie had access to a satellite so they used it to find ZED'S base. You'll never guess where it is.
