Well we played a home series this weekend in baseball, so i had a little more time to write (: I hope you all enjoy this chapter, please...i know it is short, but i'm gathering my thoughts for the final chapter or two so this chapter is as much for me as for you. Now enjoy!

Don't own Code Lyoko...

The white light was blocked by the silhouette of a large man. Chance stared open-mouthed as the man ducked to enter the room. The man was a good seven feet tall and was easily three hundred pounds of pure muscle.

"Oh my God! What did they do to you?" Odd said shocked at the sight of the beast of a man.

"I must break you." The large man uttered in a deep growl.

The large man walked over to Ivan and stared at the Russian for a moment. "You I shall deal with first."

The man untied Ivan from the chair and stepped away. "Come little man, now we have some fun."

Ivan gathered himself into a fighting stance. The large man lunged at Ivan and caught him with a powerful punch that broke two ribs upon impact.

"Shit!" Ivan coughed holding his side. The large man tried another punch, but Ivan rolled out of the way and stood behind Chance.

"I will not go around, you are only endangering your friends by hiding behind them."

Ivan's face turned to a look of panic and fear. The large man charged planning to crush Chance along the way. As the large man came upon him Chance rolled out of the chair and swept his leg out in a kick tripping the big man.

"What the……" Ivan ended the large man's words and life with a kick to the head as he fell that snapped the man's neck. The large man fell in a crumpled lifeless heap at Ivan's feet.

"Thanks for the help."

"Thanks for untying me….good acting too."

The two soldiers freed their friends and they all gathered at the doorway. Battered and bruised the slowly started to plan their escape.

A truck pulled up to the guard post. Grayson eyed the truck carefully. It seemed out of place, but he might be receiving reinforcements or supplies so it was best not to shoot first without checking it out. Grayson walked up to the truck and looked at the driver.

"What is your business here?"

"I…we are seeking refuge….a place to rest for a little while." Jeremy stuttered from behind the wheel.

"Who is we?" Grayson growled.

"It is me Grayson." Sarah said getting out of the back of the truck.

"Sarah? Where is your brother, I thought you died with your father?"

"I was lucky, my friends were able to help me escape, but a sniper picked brother off as he was climbing into the truck."

Grayson went to the back to see three girls in the back and a blood smear where it looked like a person had been shot.

"We can offer you some supplies and a place to rest for a few days, but I can't promise you a safe environment."

"Thank you, we will take anything right now." Sarah said and jumped into the cab with Jeremy.

The truck pulled in and Grayson headed back to check on the interrogation.

Ivan crept down the hall followed by Odd, then Chance, and Ulrich holding the rear. Ivan ducked into a room and found clothes and weapons. The group changed and hurried out and into the hall again.

"Do you know where you're going?" Chance whispered to Ivan.

"No, I haven't a clue."

"Well…." Chance was cut off by the sound of an alarm.

"I think they found us missing." Odd cringed.

"RUN!" Ulrich yelled as he opened fire on three guards that had just realized who the mysterious soldiers in the hall were.

All four took off down a hall hoping to find an exit before it was too late.

Sarah and the others heard the alarm go off inside the complex.

"Those boys are going to get themselves killed running around in there." Sarah gasped. She had no real understanding why she was helping these people free their friends. She had never really believed her father's idealistic ways, but she loved him anyways.

"What do we do?" Yumi asked, snapping Sarah out of her thoughts.

"I'll go in and find your friends, stay here and guard the truck. Just act natural unless anyone gives you too much trouble."

Everyone nodded and Sarah disappeared into the complex leaving the others outside to hope that their newest ally wouldn't betray them.

Hope you liked it...I want to say thanks to everyone who reviews, it helps me enjoy writing that much more. Thanks.
