Code Lyoko isn't mine
Odd was exhausted.
No matter how many times he kicked or punched the guy, he still kept moving-fast. He and Ulrich were being carried farther and farther away from the school, the factory, anywhere. They were on a long dirt road leading to-where exactly? Odd had no idea.
Odd looked over at Ulrich, he was still out cold, but that was probably better then being awake anyway.
A sudden stop brought Odd out of his reverie. The man had stopped running. Odd looked up and immediately wished he hadn't. He was looking at a house. It was old, battered, and broken. The door was hanging off its hinges. The worst part was that they were in the middle of nowhere, miles from help of any kind.
Odd hoped that Yumi was on Lyoko.
They were going inside the house now. The man deposited the two boys on the floor. The man still had yet to say a word.
"Ulrich?" Odd shook his friend gently, knowing that this was one situation that you had to be conscious for. He was relieved beyond belief when he saw him twitch and groan. "Yeah, I feel exactly like that." Odd sympathized. "But you have to help me fight this maniac."
Ulrich sat up, holding his head in his hand. "God, what hit me?" he mumbled.
Odd's lips twitched upward momentarily, an action that might almost be interpreted as a smile. "Just some cement. But don't worry about your ego. Not many people win a battle against that." Ulrich started to chuckle, but stopped almost immediately; he was looking at something just over Odd's shoulder.
The man was advancing towards the adolescents, his eyes blazing red and in the center, pulsating like a second heartbeat, was Xana's symbol.
Meanwhile, Yumi and Ailita were running into difficulties of their own on Lyoko. They were outnumbered by at least two to one. "Ailita, I have a plan, but you'll have to run faster then you have ever run before." Yumi muttered.
"I can do it." The pink-haired girl assured her friend.
"Okay then, on the count of three-" a claw came down out of nowhere, landing just inches from Ailita's foot. "Three!" Yumi cried, not bothering with the other numbers.
Ailita ran past Yumi, dodging the crabs and speeding as fast as she could towards the tower off in the distance. Yumi sent her fan out, bringing down two crabs. Then a shot caught her in the back. She went down.
When Yumi materialized, she beat her hand against the floor.
Thanks for all the kind reviews. And I would also appreciate your thoughts-yes you, the one who is reading this right now. I want to hear from you!
