Thanks everyone for the reviews, it seems like most of y'all like the story so far. Well here's chapter three. Hope you enjoy and please review.
Ulrich having finished his search of the campus and not finding Odd decided to head back to his dorm. When he got there and Odd still hadn't returned he decided to continue his search in the morning. Odd had probably met some girl at the movies and was trying to win her heart with some silly song. Ulrich smiled at the thought and went to sleep.
Odd was not smiling or sleeping. He was hiding in a small cave he'd found while running from the hornets. Xana's monsters had increased in number and Odd had given up trying to fight his way through them. Down to only six arrows Odd went into hiding, hoping someone would find him.
"I really just wanted to hang out and then I got tricked into coming to Lyoko by myself. Real good Odd real good."
Odd crouched on a boulder trying to think of a way to contact the others. He needed help quick. Every time he'd been hit by a laser blast the affects had remained. He was in pain all over and it was starting to get hard to move.
"It's like I'm actually here and not virtual. Wow this must be what Aelita felt like for years before we found her, no one to talk to and always hiding from monsters. I just need to rest a little and then I'll be ok."
Odd closed his eyes but nothing happened. "Crap I forgot Aelita said she'd never slept until she came to earth."
Odd slowly slid off the boulder and limped farther into the cave.
Ulrich, asleep, heard Odd scream out in pain. Ulrich sat upright in bed and looked over to where Odd should've been asleep.
"Odd?"
No the noise hadn't been from the bed it was from his dream. Ulrich had seen Odd running in lyoko, well limping was more like it. As Ulrich materialized close to his friend a crab blasted Odd and the blond headed boy collapsed. Ulrich rushed to his side and when he picked him up he saw blood on his hands. Odd screamed in pain and then looked into Ulrich's eyes.
"I'm glad you came for me Ulrich, but I'm afraid you're too late."
Odd gasped and went limp in his friend's arms.
Ulrich awake still couldn't get the sight of Odd dying out of his mind. He ran to Jeremy's room and banged on the door. The door opened.
"Jeremy we need to get to the factory now."
Odd tried again to fall asleep but to no avail. He heard saw a bright light at the end of the tunnel he'd been following and came upon another opening. He stepped into the desert region. He looked around and started to climb up on a rock. A laser blast hit at Odd's feet and he dived out of the way of two more that passed where his head had just been. Sore and tired Odd unleashed two arrows at the hornets pursuing him. For once his aim was perfect and Xana's two monsters disintegrated. Odd smiled at his minor victory and ran for a outcropping of rocks, making a mental note that he only had four arrows left.
