------------------------------Chapter 3 The Power Within Part 1

"Ok," says Leah breathlessly,"so, you two are telling me that a deranged super computer with a virus called XANA is trying to take over the world? And the way he gets here, is through a parallel virtual universe with towers connecting to Earth. Ok, am I good so far?" Odd looked at Jeremie, "Well, when you say it that way, it does kinda sound a little crazy." " Um, yeah. Just kinda." She replied, with a roll of her eyes. Fear flickered across Jeremie's face, "You won't tell. You can't. You..." "Whoa, boy" Leah interupted,"I won't tell. I promise. I know you guys are telling the truth, its just knida...crazy and impossible, that's all."

"Yumi, watch it!", orders Jeremie into his headphones. "What is he doing?" whispers Leah to Odd. "He's helping them on Lyoko." "What happens if they don't make it?" "Well, if Ulrich and Yumi lose all there lifepoints, they are devirtualized and are returned to Earth. If Aelita doesn't make it, she...she dissappears forever." Odd replies with a worried look on his face.

Suddenly, Jeremie yells into the computer,"Yumi! Look out! NO!" "What happened?" questioned Odd. "Yumi lost all her lifepoints and is being devirtualized, with Ulrich there to protect Aelita by himself, with 3 mega tanks on him! He needs help! We aren't going to make it. XANA's going to win this time!" "No," Leah says immediately,"I'm not going to let that happen. Send me to Lyoko, Jeremie. I'm your only hope." "But, you...you can't. You..." "Well, do you want to go? Cuz, I mean if you do, then be my guest." Leah argued. Jeremie sighed,"Ok, Odd, take Leah to the scanners." "But, but..." " No buts Odd. Go."

Silently, Odd lead Leah to the elevator. As the doors slowly close, Leah smiles, reaches for Odd's hand and quickly squeesed it, "I'll be just fine Odd. Promise. Plus, with XANA as strong as he is, and Aelita doesn't make it, who knows what will happen." Finally, the large elevator doors open to reveal Yumi, struggling to stand. Yumi's mouth fell open in amazement, "What is she doing here?" "Same as you and me," Odd replied, " to help save the world from a demonic super intellegence."

"Ok, Leah," instucted Odd," Step in here, and just wait for a minute. You are going to love Lyoko." Leah shyly stepped inside, eyeing the scanner as it closed up in front of her. She silently watched Odd and Yumi's face dissappear. "Scanner...transfer...virtualization." Jeremie's voice command echoed in the scanner.

She felt a tingling sensation in here fingers and toes. Suddenly, she fell to the ground in pile of arms and legs. "I don't know what your powers or weapons are, so, I guess we will find out soon." It was a strange feeling to be on Lyoko. No smells, no warmth, no nothing but seeing and hearing. But, what she saw amazed her. She looked at herself. "Hey, this was the outfit I saw at the mall last week! I loved this outfit!" she said to herself. She wore a black and glittery mini dress that feel just to finger tip length, that had long sleeves. Her footwear where black knee-heigh boots. "Facinating, but Ulrich needs your help. I'm virtualizing the overboard." " Tell Ulrich that I'm on my way."

Leah jumped on the board, and speed in between rows of trees, minuvering like an expert. "Hey, are you sure that you have never been on Lyoko before?" joked Odd. "Dude, I think I would remember something like this." In the distance, she saw Ulrich and Aelita standing among 3 tanks, or what Leah thought were tanks. "Remember Leah, aim for the eye on the tank." "Aim with what!" she replied exasperatedly. "Come on. Come on, you stupid board. Go faster! I have to help them!" Leah whispered to no one in particular. Then suddenly, an inky green light began to engulf the board, enclosing it with its light, and, to her amazement, began to go faster!

With amazing speed, she flew past two tanks and joined Ulrick and Aelita in the center of the tanks. "Mind if I join this little love triangle, girls and boys." Leah said with a wink. "Ya know, now that I've seen you on Lyoko," Ulrich replied while trying to protect Aelita, "I really don't blame Odd." "Well, I don't blame Yumi either." Aelita smiled,"Jeremie said that you would be joining us." "Yeah, chic. What took?" "Well, ya know. I stopped for a cappacino and a bagel. I thoght you guys might want one, but they ran out." "Ok, you guys. Stop messing around. Get Aelita to the tower, and now would be best." Jeremie ordered over his headphone. "Fine, fine...kill-joy."Leah sighs under her breath. "I heard that!" Jeremie answers. She angerily sticks out her tongue. "I saw that!" "Grrr. Fine, I'm on it."

"Okay, Aelita. Come with me. Ulrich, do your best to destract those tanks."Leah pleaded. "Yes, captain!" was his reply. Aelita quickly jumped on the board behind Leah,"The activated tower is that way." "Than that way, we shall go. Hold on tight!" They quickly fled from the tanks toward the path that led to the tower. "Ok, lets see how fast you can go." Leah said to the board, as a mega tank turned and rolled toward them. Again, the inky light appeared, and again the overboard sped up. "What...how...are you doing that?" "I think so, but I'm not sure. Stupid tank. I need a weapon, Jeremie!" Jeremie answered,"Ok, if you are doing that, see if you can create a weapon with that green light of yours or what ever it is." "Um...like what?" "How about...Yumi's fans." Leah hesitated. "Fine, ok hold on Aelita."
