Code Lyoko isn't mine. (nor is it yours, for that matter.)

"Get behind me, Odd." Ulrich stepped in front of the younger boy and tried to protect him from the still advancing menace.

His attemps were futile.

The man threw Ulrich aside. He grabbed Odd by the collar of his shirt and lifted him high off the ground before throwing him across the room. Odd hit the wall opposite and slid down, barely conscious.

The man still wasn't finished. He walked slowly and diliberatly towards Odd, completely ignoring Ulrich. Odd threw up his arms, trying to protect himself. Before he coud scramble to his feet, the man stepped on his leg, breaking it cleanly in two.

Odd's cry of pain could probably be heard for miles around.

"Odd!" Ulrich passed by the man, now motionless, and knelt beside hs fallen companion. "Oh Odd." he whispered when he saw the mangleded leg. He reached out for the boy and put his arm around Odd, letting the blond cry into his shoulder. He knew the pain must be almost inbearible. "Hurry, Yumi."

Of course, Yumi was no longer on Lyoko, but Ailita was.

"I'm at the tower, Jeremy." she said, entering the cylander-shapped building.

"You'd better hurry, Ailita." jeremy's voice seemed to echo from everywhere at once. "We haven't ben able to reach Odd or Ulrich on their cell phones. I don't know what happened to them." Jeremy's voice, usually so calm, had a note of fear in it.

"Don't worry, I'm right here." Ailita walked over to the control consil and punched in the correct words. When i asked for the code, she typed LYOKO. "Tower deactivated." she annunced, stepping away as 0's and 1's started to fall from everywhere.

"Return to the past now." Jeremy bshed the enter button and the world was enviloped in a wonderful, pure white light.

Then there was nothing.


I know, short and stupid. The next one will be better.
