Too close for comfort.

Jeremie finally made it to the Factory to find Ulrich, Odd and Yumi already there waiting. "What kept you?" Yumi asked.

"It doesn't matter." He replied. "Get ready to be transferred."

So the three teens went into the elevator and down to the scanner room. They all got in their scanners.

"Transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich, transfer Odd." Jeremie's voice echoed over the speaker.

"Scanner Yumi, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Odd. VIRTUALIZATION!"

The three of them landed in the desert region. It was silent. "Aelita is due west and so is the tower." Jeremie said.

They all ran to the west and were soon greeted by Aelita. Not long afterwards 3 hornets came flying towards them. Odd shot two down and Yumi got the other one. They continued to run toward the tower, although they couldn't see it quite yet.

They continued on and stopped only because Odd was suddenly in a block of ice. "5 blocks have surrounded you.

"Yumi, you help Aelita to the tower." Ulrich said. "I'll take care of these guys."

So Yumi ran as fast as she could with Aelita by her side while Ulrich advanced on the five blocks.

Back at the school there was rubble moving in the cafeteria as David emerged, covered in dust, bruises, dirt and cuts. He staggered around the room and collapsed against an upturned table. He took out a syringe and shoved the needle into his leg, letting the transparent liquid to enter his body. He then just sat there, in pain and disorientated. He could hear the termites doing their work, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi and Jeremie had to work fast.

Ulrich charged at the blocks and shouting, "triplicate" as he went. 2 other Ulrich's appeared, charging as well. Ulrich jumped on top one of the blocks and stabbed its side. He jumped of as it exploded and onto another one, again, stabbing the side. He landed on the ground, ran, jumped into the air and came down into the side of a third block. He fused himself and used his triangulate technique on the 4rth block to slice it in half. The last block hit him backwards with a powerful laser that caused him to skid along the ground. It stood in front of him and was about to fire when a streak of black went into it, destroying the block. He looked behind him to see a very familiar feline face, Odd. They both ran after the girls to help if the could.

Onlookers were horrified to see a side of the school completely collapse. The next side to go would be the side with the cafeteria at the bottom. The foundations began to crumble.

Ulrich and Odd had made it to the girls and were now standing around puzzled. Jeremie's computer had led them to this very spot but the tower was nowhere to be seen. Aelita was examining the ground, Yumi was flicking her fans open and closed, Odd was sitting, and chucking stones and Ulrich was playing with his sword. Ulrich lost his grip on his sword and it flew straight through a wall of rock. Aelita examined it to find that it was just a hologram like form that Xana created.

They all rushed through and Aelita entered the tower. She floated up onto the next level and opened the screen.

Aelita.

The roof finally collapsed and came toward David at high speed.

Code

It was only half a second until it hit

Lyoko

It all stopped an inch from his face.

"Return to the past now!" Shouted Jeremie.

Short I know, but I had essays and homework to do so I'll try to do more over the weekend.
