Chapter 4

New Plans

#revised version#

XANA was pacing around a dark room that had a huge super computer on one side of the room. The computer was on, and that is where the only light came from. Odd was still in the cage, and after, um..., lets see, the first three hours of XANA muttering to himself, he got tired of it and sat down with his back against the bars of the cage facing XANA, his tail going in between two of the bars of the cage.

'Man, I didn't know that bad guys talk to themselves so much,' Odd thought with a bored look on his face. 'I wonder what Jeremie and the others are doing...'

oOoOoOoOoO

"Man, I can't believe all this happened," Ulrich said, ashamed that he had let his best friend down. And not only that! Now he's in the hands of their enemy!

"Ulrich," Jeremie said, "It's not your fault."

"Fine, but how are we gonna get Odd back, and save Aelita?" Ulrich demanded, still frustrated. "Right now, Aelita can't even travel from tower to tower. She's stuck in that tower because XANA might come back as soon as she gets out." Yumi put a comforting hand on Ulrich's shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"Well, you've brought up a good point Ulrich. You're right; Aelita can't get out of that tower. But, I think there's a way we can get Odd back, without even having to go back to Lyoko."

At these words, Ulrich and Yumi looked up from the floor, and stared at Jeremy with faces full of renewed hope.

"I bet I can find a way to devitalize him from right here, on the super computer."

"Do you really think so, Jeremie?" Yumi asked, not wanting to lose sight of this glimmer of hope.

"I don't know, but it's worth a try."

oOoOoOoOoO

'Bored, bored, bored...I'm so bored. What can a guy do in a cage? Besides listen to someone talk to themselves for hours on end?' Bored, bored, bored...'

"Lets see..." XANA said to himself, "How could I get Aelita out of that tower on her own? If only somehow I could get into the towers...Wait what if those kids find a way to devitalize that kid in the cage? Right now he's the only bargaining chip I've got with them...Hmm...Oh, I got an idea." XANA said with an evil grin.

With a new evil plan, XANA turned around to face his captive, only to find his captive with his back to him.

"Hey you, turn around!" XANA commanded, not wanting to waste any more time. (If only he knew how long he had talked...)

Odd, still lost in his own thoughts, didn't hear him...so he obviously didn't heed him.

Irritated, XANA walked toward his hostage, and saw his captive's tail between two of the bars. Another evil, painful idea formed, and XANA lifted his foot, and brought it down, hard and fast, right on top of a certain purple tail.

"YEOW!" Odd screamed, jumping at least 4ft. into the air. Which wasn't good, since the cage was only 3ft.tall. "OW!" Odd shouted, new pain forming in his head.

"Well," XANA said calmly, "Now that I got your undivided attention, I thought I should inform you on the new plan."

Odd, rubbing both his head and tail, which were throbbing painfully, said, "What plan? And why are you telling me?"

"Because, there's no way you'll be able to talk to them once I put this virus in you." And with that said, XANA started to walk toward the super computer, and started to type at an amazing rate.

'Oh great. Now he's going to put a virus inside of me. Jeremie, I hope you've thought of something...' Odd thought, and started to feel slightly nervous.

"Almost done..." XANA said.

oOoOoOoOoO

"Hurry Jeremy, who knows what XANA's doing to Odd," Ulrich said, drumming his fingers impatiently on the back of Jeremie's chair.

"I know, I know, I'm hurrying...Almost done..."

oOoOoOoOoO

"Done," XANA simply said.

oOoOoOoOoO

"DONE!" Jeremy shouted, almost causing Ulrich and Yumi to jump into the air out of surprise. "Now all I have to do is push enter..."

Jeremy's index finger was about an eighth-of-an-inch away when a window suddenly appeared, showing a 3-D image of Odd's form in Lyoko rotating clockwise.

"DATA PROBLEM. DATA PROBLEM."
