Chapter 5
Rescue

Lyoko

Ulrich got on the Over-Bike, as Jeremy was saying, "alright, Ulrich. Head due East & I'll send you the transporter to Sector 5. Odd, Aelita, Head South for a way tower."

"We're on the way, Jeremy," Odd said as Aelita got on the Hoverboard. He turned to Ulrich, "Hey, be careful, ok?"

"Don't worry about me, just get Aelita to the tower. I'm off ,Jeremy," Ulrich said as he sped across the region to the East end.

No sooner than he got there, Odd & Aelita made it to the way tower. Odd sped up as they went through the tower, & came out at the Polar region.

Factory

"Alright, Jeremy, I'm here," Ulrich said though the super computer.

"Ok, I'm typing the password... Scipio," Jeremy said as he typed the word into the screen. He heard someting in the elevator.

"Oh no"

"What's wrong, Einstien," asked Odd as they came out at the Ice Sector.

"Ummm, the tower... it's west... eighty degrees, hurry," he answered as he put down the ear piece. He walked over to the elevator, as the count-down started for Sector 5, only to find Xanna reach an arm out to him, & grab him by the shirt collar.

Polar Region

"Oh no," Aelita & Odd heard Jeremy murmur.

"What's wrong, Einstein," Odd asked in a worried tone as they came out of the tower.

"Ummm," he said, but he sounded unatural, "the tower... it's west... eight degrees, hurry."

"Jeremy, is everything ok? You don't sound yourself," Aelita asked, but Jeremy didn't answer. "Jeremy? Jeremy!"

"Well, at least we know what Xanna's up to," said Odd trying to calm Aelita down, "Let's just concentrat on the... Ahhh man!"

Ten Cankerlots (I can't remeber the exact name, but in season one they were called Roachsters) came prattically out of no where.

"Xanna must have just materalized them," Aelita said trying to figure out where they came from.

"You just hold on tight ,princess. I'll get us through this," Odd said as he looked at all the Roachsters as if it were a challenge.

Mountain Region

"Alright, Jeremy, I'm here," Ulrich said as he stopped in front of the digital void (digital void, digital sea... same thing).

"Alright, I'm typing the password... Scipio," Jeremy said as the teleporter appeared. It took Ulrich... (can we skip all the stuff where they fly through everything & stuff... thx) ...he flew there (-.-').

He appeared in the center of the dome room still with the Over-Bike. "Yes, Jeremy it worked," he said, but no reply, "uh-oh."

Then the wall slid open, allowing him to pass through. "The countdown," Ulrich remembered aloud. He practacilly flew to the next room.

"Jeremy, come on. Answer me, I need to find the key," he said, but it didn't matter, he seen the key on the ceiling (...go with it). He drove as fast as the Over-Bike could go, went up the wall, as he got on the ceiling (slow-mo) he took out his sword & stabbed the key with it. It wasn't destroyed, but it still went down. He went down the wall he came from & drove to the elevator. (In other words he drove up the front wall, across the ceiling, & down the back wall really fast... cool huh?)

Polar Region

"Yaa-Hoo," sceamed Odd as he just destroyed the entire Roachster army.

"But, we still can't see the tower yet," said the less entusiastic Aelita.

"I'm sure we're almost there," he answered, "I just wish I knew how many life points I have left." Odd took a good bit of damage from the Roachsters, but was surprised he was still on Lyoko.

"I see it," Aelita said pointing to a red glow in the distance.

"Almost there," he said.

Factory

Jeremy was strugling against Xanna the whole time the others needed his help. As he flew across the room, he heard the small beep letting him know that Ulrich got through the room in Sector 5 & Odd & Aelita made it through the Roachsters.

Xanna for some reason just kept coming after Jeremy instead of trying to divirtualize anyone. He knew none of them would make it & so did Jeremy, but the group made it through some tough spots, maybe they can make it through this one.

Sector 5

As soon as Ulrich got out of the room, he didn't even wait for the elevator, he just jumped. To his luck he made it on the elevator.

The door to the outside (place thing, I don't remember what it's called... the place where the Flying Mantis are) Ulrich could see four Flying Mantis surounding the Scipizoa with Yumi unconscious in it's tentacles. As soon as it sees a shadow in the doorway, it lets go of Yumi, only to fall to her doom.
