I am now called purpletail as I have earned enough favs to be given my warrior name –sniff- you guys are the best.
I wish I could say that I have an excuse for it being so long since I updated and thankfully I kinda do I couldn't get this so that is sounded at least halfway descent and I finally got it that way this afternoon and here it is. So I have nothing else to say so I'll stop typing this note so that you can reach the good stuffs faster.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko but I do own Sasha… and her key… and the plot… and the sequel when it comes
"No!" Sasha jumped out of the way of the dark chain. Flicking her tail in annoyance she ducked to avoid another.
"Hold still will you," Xana barked his order at the young girl. "Are you crazy?" Sasha asked as she leaped to the side to avoid another one of Xana's living chains.
The chain smacked in to the bar and recoiled. Looking around as if it had eyes it spotted Sasha panting in the corner.
It was one of the four chains trying to grab Sasha. Sasha didn't know why the chains were bent on winding themselves around her but she had a pretty good idea that it wasn't going to end well for her.
Sasha jumped out of the way of another chain as it struck out at her much like a snake would.
Sasha took out her blade and lashed at one of the dark chains as it attempted to grab her around her middle. The blade sliced the chain in half. It shook itself and retreated out of the cage enclosure.
Satisfied with the discovery she looked around to see a chain trying to sneak up behind her. Jumping at it she cut it clean through. A piece of chain was left on the floor as the end that was coming from the darkness around her she diverted her attention to one of the two chains that was now after her.
Sasha jumped out of its way. Moments later she heard it clash with the metal bar that had been behind her only second before.
Just as she landed she yelped as she was sent crashing to the ground. A chain had been waiting for her to jump out of the others way and into its path.
When she fell her blade skidded just out of her reach. "Drat," she mumbled as she struggled to grab her blade once more.
Sasha felt it coil around her ankle and fasten itself with dark energy. She grabbed the blade with her fingertips as she felt the only remaining chain wind itself around her upper arm restricting her movements so she couldn't chop herself free.
"Crud," Sasha huffed as she felt the chains tug at her limbs and begin to drag her across the cold metal floor.
As she was dragged across the floor she grabbed on of the pieces of chain that had been severed from its body if you could even call it that. Threading it through the handle of her blade with much difficulty she tied it around her was so that she couldn't lose it where ever she was being taken. Her tail the only thing from keeping it from falling off.
As soon as she was done Sasha was fazed through the bars of her cage and dragged down into the darkness.
With Ulrich and Odd
"Ulrich get off me!" Odd yelled. In the landing Odd had tripped and fallen then when Ulrich landed Odd was still in the way causing Ulrich to collapse on top of his feline friend.
Ulrich lifted himself off of Odd. "Ouch I think I sprained my tail," Odd was holding his tail in his paws and it was stuck in what looked like a very uncomfortable angle.
"Come on we need to find her before Xana does something to her... again," Ulrich said as he helped his friend to his feet.
"Yah I know... where are we?" Odd was looking down into a huge black abyss. Odd then looked up to across the big blue room. Across the abyss was another ledge like the one they were standing on only this one had a door on the other side of it.
"How do we get across?" Ulrich asked. The gap was impossible to jump because of its missive size. "Beats me," Odd replied.
Just as Odd spoke the ground began to shake. The shaking brought Odd and Ulrich to their knees.
"What's happening?" Odd asked rather shakily. "I'm not sure but hold on," Ulrich replied as he dug his katana into he ground to steady himself. Odd gripped the ground with his claws to try and do the same.
Then just as suddenly as it came it stopped. Odd looked up from the ground which he had grown accustom to looking at during the quake. The room had shifted.
Not much had, but enough had to make it possible to cross if they tried hard enough.
The ledge that they had been standing on wasn't there anymore. It had broken into square shaped pillars and scattered across the gap. Now if they jumped from one to the other it would be possible to cross.
Then Odd noticed that Ulrich wasn't on the square with him. Odd looked around but found that he couldn't see his friend anywhere in the room.
"Odd, down hear," came a rather frustrated voice. Odd recognized it as Ulrich's. Odd looked down. There was Ulrich holding on to the edge with an annoyed look on is face.
"Would you like some help there buddy?" Odd asked sarcastically. "Odd just get me up from here." Ulrich demanded not in the mood to joke about this.
Odd smiled and grabbed his friends wrists to pull him up. With a big heave Odd pulled Ulrich up and over the edge.
"Thanks," Ulrich panted from the floor. "No problem and besides Yumi would have my head if I just let you fall like that," Odd quipped. Ulrich glared at Odd who just grinned very pleased with himself.
"Anyway we better get moving," Ulrich picked himself off the ground and got to his feet. "Yah," Odd agreed as he too got up of the floor.
"XANA YOU NO GOOD VIRUS LET ME GO!" The screech came from the right side of the guys.
"Sasha?" Odd questioned upon hearing the voice. "Yah it is look," Ulrich pointed in the direction of a girl who was hanging from the ceiling a few yards from them.
She had cuffs made of dark energy around her wrists which were attached to iron chains that hung from the ceiling.
Odd recognized Sasha at once, and from the looks of it she wasn't in a good mood.
"Sasha are you ok?" Odd called out. "Do I look ok?" She half snapped at him. "I meant are you hurt," Odd explained. "No, but if these cuffs were gone and my feet were on solid ground I'd be a lot better off." Her voice softened a bit.
"We'll get you down don't worry," Ulrich promised. "How do you plan to do that exactly?" Sasha asked coolly. "I'll let you know when I figure that out," Ulrich responded. Sasha rolled her eyes at this.
"Hey at least we're trying," Odd pointed out when he caught her rolling her eyes at them. "Well it's kinda obvious that all you need to do is cut me down from here." Sasha stated flatly.
"My katana won't cut through those chains," Ulrich told her. "Who said anything about using your weapon?" Sasha asked him. "Well I just assumed since you can't reach yours," he explained. This was true; her key was still out of reach.
"Well if you can manage to get over here you might be able to use mine and break these things I know it's strong enough." Sasha explained.
"Alright how do we get to you?" Odd asked. "Jump from platform to platform I'm being held right above one after all." Sasha pointed out bluntly.
Odd and Ulrich nodded it looked easy enough. The two jumped from one pillar to the other.
"This is too easy," Ulrich observed as he landed on another platform. "I know but right now I'm not really complaining," Odd responded as he landed on the platform closest to Sasha not counting the one she was being held over.
With two more hops Odd was standing on the platform under Sasha. Ulrich soon followed.
Letting her tail fall limp the chain slid from her waist and onto the floor. Ulrich went to pick it up bur Sasha stopped him, "no let Odd do it, it was formed from his and mine crystals after all." Ulrich nodded and Odd bent down to pick up the key.
"It's light," he observed. "You didn't think it would be heavy did you?" Ulrich asked before Sasha could.
Odd ran it though his paws for a moment in some kind of a trance. "Well are you going to stand there or cut me down?" Sasha asked irritably. Odd didn't seem to hear her.
"Hello Odd?" Ulrich waved his hand in front of Odd's face. Odd snapped out of it and looked up at Sasha wordlessly.
Jumping up Odd sliced clean through one of the restraints. Sasha yelped as her right side of her body shifted unexpectedly.
"Wow can I keep it?" Odd asked liking the key. "No it's mine I have no other weapon remember, now kindly cut the other one." Sasha asked from her uncomfortable position.
"Right," Odd jumped up and cut the other one. With a yelp Sasha fell right into Ulrich's arms.
"Why thank you Ulrich," Sasha said flirtatiously. Ulrich blushed like mad. "You're welcome," he murmured softly.
Odd cleared his throat, and tapped his foot in annoyance. Sasha turned to face which was hard because her wings kept getting in the way and Ulrich was still holding her bridal style.
"I was just joking relax," Sasha huffed. Ulrich put her down and Sasha flexed her wings. Beating them a few times so that her feet left the ground she noted that she could fly.
"I should be able to bring you guys to that door over there one by one, who wants to go first?" Sasha asked looking at the two boys standing in front of her.
Odd looked over to Ulrich as if asking him to decide. "Odd can go first," Ulrich said after a few moments of silence. He didn't exactly want to agitate Odd anymore by offering to go first.
Sasha turned to Odd and smiled, "ok then come on, and hold the key for me so I don't drop it." Odd walked over to Sasha. "Hold around my neck with one arm and the key with another," she instructed. Odd put his right arm around his girlfriends' neck.
Sasha then wondered if it was possible to do this, Odd was a tad taller than her and probably weighed more as well. Shaking the thought from her mind she took a hold of Odd and kicked off of the ground.
Sasha could feel Odd's grip tighten as she lifted them both over the dark pit. The flight didn't last long for they were already most of the way across. As soon as Sasha's feet touched down on the ground she released her grip around Odd's middle.
Odd followed suit and let go of Sasha's neck. "I have to get Ulrich now," Sasha replied stretching her wings to take off again.
"Why were you flirting with Ulrich?" Odd questioned as Sasha was about to take off to retrieve the stranded friend.
Sasha who had her back turned to him as he asked this turned around to face him. "What are you worried about he's just my friend nothing more. Plus he's padding after Yumi, you said yourself that he's liked her for ages." Sasha pointed out walking over to him and laying her arms around his neck in a flirtatious manner.
"Don't you trust me?" Sasha asked. Odd looked down at the girl who was currently giving him puppy eyes. Having a certain weak spot for the cute look he lightly placed his lips on hers. After a couple of seconds he broke the kiss, "yes I do I was just making sure."
Sasha smiled and removed her arms from his neck, Odd loved that smile. "Good, now will you allow me to fetch Ulrich?" She asked. Odd nodded.
With two beats of her feathery wings Sasha was in the air again... if you could even call it air.
Sasha landed lightly on the platform facing Ulrich. "Ok, now place your hands around my neck we don't need you falling into the abyss not to mention Yumi would beat me to a pulp for dropping you."
Ulrich merely nodded a response and gingerly placed his arms around her neck very much aware at how close this brought him to her face. "You seem antsy Ulrich, if I put you on edge earlier I was just playing around I would never pad after you. I'm happy with Odd don't forget." Sasha said calmly as she gripped his middle.
"Right, I know," Ulrich replied though Sasha could tell from his tone of voice that he still wasn't comfortable. Dismissing it she kicked off the ground. Ulrich reacted to this by gripping her twice as hard as he had been seconds ago.
"Loosen the grip please it's making it harder to fly," Sasha barely managed to instruct. Ulrich obeyed much to Sasha's pleasure.
As she landed on the platform that Odd was standing on Ulrich let go quickly. "Are you afraid of heights?" Sasha asked as she rubbed her neck which had become sore from Ulrich's grip. "Yah sorry," Ulrich responded meekly.
Odd walked over to the two teens, "here this is yours." Odd held out her key. Sasha smiled, "thanks," she said and grabbed the handle of the key.
As she and Odd both held onto the handle a light emitted from it. Ulrich shielded his eyes from the light but it didn't seem to bother Sasha or Odd. When the light died down they looked around the room.
It seemed as if nothing had changed. "What was that for?" Ulrich asked. "Not su... hey look at that," Odd stated pointing to a shimmering silver door next to the wooden one.
"Well I trust that door more than the Xana created one," Sasha stated as she reached out to touch the handle. As she did it glowed with a soft blue light and a matching sliver label appeared above the door.
'Core Room' it read in fancy curvy lettering. "It's like it knew where you wanted to go," Ulrich stated as him and Odd came closer.
Not responding Sasha yanked open the door. A swirl of purple and blue light erupted from it.
"Well see you on the other side," Sasha said flatly as she jumped into the doorway her key in hand.
"She didn't even wait for us to agree hat this was a good idea." Ulrich pointed out. "Well I trust this more than Xana," Odd stated as he stepped into the light. Ulrich sighed and seeing nothing better to do dived into the light.
When the three were through the door it closed and disappeared the only thing it left was a very annoyed Xana. 'This wasn't supposed to happen,' he thought angrily to himself. This wouldn't end well for him, not well at all.
Ha another cliffy! I'm sad to report that I only have two chapters left maybe three if the next one gets to be to long for one chapter or I get a sudden idea that'll work with the plot. If you have one please feel free to tell me can't guarantee that I'll use it though because I want to get this story done before school start when my writing time will be drastically cut down. So I'll leave you with a poll that I would be happy if you answered on your way out in the review.
Poll:
What other stories of mine do you read?
Fire and Ice
Code: Warriors
Mystic Powers
I'm just curious about who reads what though I have a pretty good idea from the people who constantly review to most of my fics who reads what but I figured I'd ask anyway.
