Sanne was getting worse. Zen was getting annoyed having to be her seeing eye person. And Ark and Naia were getting bored…
Sanne is behind Zen at the cafeteria. She would have been following Krieger but he was held back after talking during class. "What do you want Sanne?"
"Whatever you're having." Sanne hears a beeping noise. "Frak."
"What?" Zen puts food on Sanne's tray.
"Um, Zen, I uh," Sanne tries to think of a way to get away. "I don't think I'm very hungry right."
"What is it? You said give you the same thing I'm having." Zen crosses her arms and stares at Sanne. Not that Sanne can see this.
"It's not that. My Jpocket is beeping." Sanne gets it out. "Can you tell me what it says?"
"Fine." Zen looks at the screen. "Um it says a lot of stuff." Zen turns the Jpocket sideways trying to make sense of all the data.
"Look in the upper left hand corner and give me the numbers." Zen turns it right side up.
"32n, 27w, 1."
"Ice Sector." Sanne digs her Jcell out and hits 6, the speed dial for Barack. "You know what, go to you know where, after getting me at the cafeteria."
"Where's Krieger?"
"He's back in the classroom. He got in trouble for talking remember." Sanne sighs. "I'll call him later."
"Oh yeah, we'll be there." Barack and Sanne hang up. "Mira they're attacking and we need to get Sanne."
"Where is she?"
"Cafeteria."
"Bleh. My stomach doesn't feel good still."
"We don't have to get anything to eat." Barack kisses her lightly on the lips then they hurry to the cafeteria.
Zen was confused but wasn't going to let Sanne go so easily. "What's going on? What does this mean?" Zen looks at the Jpocket some more trying to figure out what was going on.
"Nothing that concerns you."
"Well I'm following you."
"No you're not Zen."
"You can't stop me."
"Fine you can follow us Zen." Sanne worries about what Ark and Naia were doing and hopes Zen doesn't get hurt.
Ark and Naia are at the top of a volcano in Hawaii. "Hmmm, what if this were to rain down from the sky? Hellfire and brimstone?" Naia sparks with energy and raises lava into the air.
"But if we were to kill anyone it could spell trouble for us."
"It could. But it will be fun won't it? And once on Lyoko we can show them our newest creation." Naia and Ark laugh evilly as they spark with more energy to gather more lava.
Barack and Mira make it to the cafeteria and see Sanne arguing with Zen. "Sanne we need to get going."
"You're not leaving me behind." Zen crosses her arms.
"Well, fine, come along." It won't matter once a return is launched. "Sanne, well, Zen is your guide." Barack and Mira run out of the cafeteria and Zen leads Sanne after them.
Krieger leaves the classroom and sees Sanne, Zen, Mira, and Barack running into the woods. "What the frak? Naia and Ark must be attacking." He runs after the others then yells. "Guys!"
"Krieger, good." Mira stops. "Um, you know what, going you know where." Mira motions to Zen.
"She wants to come? Well, whatever." The group continues to the Factory as Ark and Naia bring the attack to France.
People outside notice a black ash falling from the sky. Soon small light rocks fall. The science teacher picks one up and examines it. "It looks like volcanic rock. But how could it be falling from the sky?" A tree bursts into flames as a tiny drop of lava lands on it.
The group gets to the sewer entrance as black ash, volcanic rock, and something else falls from the sky. "Aaaa!" Mira screams when a tree bursts into flames. The fire starts to spread and more trees burst into flames.
Samantha is sitting in her home when she sees smoke up the stairs. She goes to see where it was coming from when she sees fire. "No, not this place, no." Samantha runs to the kitchen and grabs a fire extinguisher. She runs up the stairs and sprays the fire but the fire extinguisher runs out before the fire is put out. She gets her Jcell out and calls the fire department but…
"Sorry ma'am we're dealing with dozens of fires we can't get to you. Get what you can out of the home and find shelter."
"How can you say that!? I've paid my taxes and now I need you to do your job!" Samantha yells more.
"I'm sorry ma'am but something is falling from the sky setting fires all over the city. We're trying to protect the capital and other important buildings in the city." Samantha gets even angrier and throws her phone at the wall.
"Frak!" Samantha hurries and grabs a few things from the lower floor of the Hermitage and runs out. She stops after a few feet as she sees the woods were burning around her. She goes into the sewer entrance to hide from the fire. She sets down the pictures and other items she had grabbed down then curls up into a ball and starts to cry. There were more pictures, more important ones, but they were gone already. There were the gifts from Jim, her daughter, in the second floor. There were so many things that money couldn't replace burning up in her home.
The group is going through the sewers heading for the Factory. Zen is asking questions but the group ignores her. "Where are we going? What is going on? Why is her Jpocket beeping?" She continues asking questions and the group continues ignoring her.
Fires spread across the city. Naia is sparking with energy trying to control the attack. Ark shows up. "Naia are you going to be there to watch our new creation?" Naia sparks with more energy.
"Leave me alone! I'm trying to keep this from killing anyone!"
"Very well." Ark turns into a black mist and disappears.
The group and Zen make it to the Factory. When they climb out they see the smoke, and fire, that used to be Paris. "Oh my gods what are they doing?" Krieger's jaw drops.
"What, what have they done?" Sanne can smell the smoke.
"The cities burning." All around the gang was black ash and volcanic rock falling. Smoke blows with the wind and covers the Factory with a thick black darkness. "Gah, come on."
"Where are we going?" Zen and the others cough.
"Come on." Krieger leads the group to the Factory entrance. Krieger grabs a rope and gives it to Sanne who slides down slowly. The others swing down, with Zen going last, and then hurry to the elevator.
Dante hears the elevator running. He brings up the Transfer Program. The elevator stops at the Control Room and the group gets out. "What is going on?" Dante sees Zen. "Oh, hello."
"What is all of this?" Zen looks at the holomap. "What is that?"
"I'll tell you if you stay here and don't touch anything." Sanne lies hoping to keep Zen from messing with anything.
"Ok. But where are you going?"
"There." Dante points at the holomap. "I have the Transfer Program ready you just need to get into the Scanners." Sanne and the others, minus Zen, get on the elevator and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Sanne, Transfer Krieger, Transfer Mira, Scanner Sanne, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Mira, and virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Ice Sector. "Transfer Barack, Scanner Barack, and virtualization." He lands next to the others as the vehicles appear. "I'll be right there." Dante gets up and goes to the ladder once he starts the auto transfer.
"Wait but, you're just leaving me here? I don't think so!" Zen tries to follow Dante down the ladder but Dante jumps down the last few rungs and throws himself into the middle Scanner just before the doors close. A little puff of smoke comes out and Zen breathes it in. "Ew, what the frak?" She coughs a little then when the doors open is amazed. "Where he go?" She looks around the Scanner to try and figure out where Dante went.
On Lyoko the group heads for the activated Tower. Sanne is happy that she can see while on Lyoko but knows it won't be for long.
Ark watches and waits with the newest creation. "Won't be long now. Soon they will meet you and you will crush them! Then we will destroy the city, destroy them, and make it so we can do anything we want!" Ark laughs evilly.
The group has to fly around a mountain of ice before seeing the activated Tower. "No monsters this can't be good." Sanne looks around and sees a glimpse of dark purple. "But Ark is here."
"That's right!" Ark sparks with energy and floats into the air. "And there is a monster!" Ark laughs evilly.
"Where?" Krieger gets his sword and shield out ready to fight.
"You're looking at it." Suddenly the mountain of ice starts to move. No, not a mountain of ice… "Degameath rise!" The ice moves and soon stands up. It has two legs, two arms, and one huge head. Its hands have fingers like tree trunks clenched into fists. It has an Eye on its chest, a huge Eye, an easy target, maybe.
"Holy frak we're screwed." Barack's jaw drops as Degameath towers over the group. As tall as the Tower, no, taller even! Its large arms are raised over its head. "Watch out!" Barack and the others scurry out of the way of the Degameath's hands as they slam into the ground.
"Wow." Sanne sees the Degameath break through the Ice Sector leaving a crater. It roars deafening the group and prepares to attack again.
"Alakazam!" Dante fires at the large Eye on the Degameath's chest and hits it but… Nothing happens!
"Super Leap!" Krieger leaps into the air and lands on the right arm of the monster. He runs up its arm ready to strike. "Super Leap!" He leaps and spears the Eye with his sword but it doesn't do anything! "What the frak!?" He sees the Eye and notices the Eye wasn't on the chest but under the chest! He can see it is nearly three meters into the monster, halfway. "Sanne, Dante get to the Tower we can't kill it!" Krieger is going to try and get away but the monster slams a huge palm into its chest destroying Krieger.
"I'll distract it." Barack takes off on the Overboard and fires his gun at the monsters head. It swings at Barack but misses.
"Go Sanne!" Mira pushes her. Sanne shakes her head and gets over the shock of seeing the new monster. She starts to run for the Tower when Degameath shows he is more than just size.
"Watch out!" Dante tries to warn Sanne but is too late. Degameath leaps into the air and lands in front of the Tower damaging the Sector where it landed.
"Frak." Sanne concentrates on her energy as Degameath roars raising its arms into the air. She gets out of the way of one hand but nearly runs into the other as Degameath slams them down into the Sector. "We're going to need help." Sanne fires an energy beam at Degameath but does nothing.
On Earth Krieger is recovering from his wounds. He felt like he had been crushed, which he was, on Earth. His body felt like every bone had been broken but they were intact thanks to the Scanners. "Zen go away."
"Come on tell me where you went, how you got back, where those things go. I looked underneath and there aren't any tubes leading anywhere. Why do you look sick? Where are the others?"
"I was crushed by a monster and the others are on Lyoko. Maybe, well, help me up to the Control Room. Maybe I can help them that way."
"What way?"
"The way Jeremie used to."
"Whose is Jeremie?"
"None of your business." Krieger limps over to the elevator but Zen doesn't follow. He takes it up to the Control Room and goes over to the control panel. "Hey guys miss me?"
"Yes!" Sanne fires another energy beam trying not to be crushed. Barack flies around the monster firing lasers at it while Dante fires energy orbs. Mira uses her stealth to try and get close and attack the Eye.
"You can't kill it. When I tried I saw the Eye wasn't on its chest it's below the chest. You can't reach it."
"Frak then what do we do? We can't get passed it!" Dante fires more energy orbs now knowing it was futile.
"I don't know."
"We need help!" Barack tries to get close to the chest to see if what Krieger said was true. The monster roars and swings hitting Barack and knocking him not only off of the Overboard but off of the Sector!
"Barack! Alakazam!" Dante fires and hits Barack destroying him before he falls into the Digital Sea.
"We can't do it." Sanne runs away from the monster. She closes her eyes and concentrates more on her energy but can't seem to bring up enough for her wings or other powers. "What do we do?! We need help but Skitz is back in America. Should we call Jim?"
"Well, we do have someone." Krieger looks through a security camera at Zen who was currently asking Barack the same questions she had asked Krieger. "I don't know if we want her though."
"Wait you can't mean Zen." Sanne gets frustrated that her powers won't come out. "We need help but not her."
"Then we're out of options." Krieger watches the screen hoping a miracle would happen.
Dante fires energy orbs and energy beams trying desperately to destroy the monster. Mira waits for the monster to swing at either Dante or Sanne before attacking. Degameath raises its right arm ready to crush Sanne. Sanne jumps out of the way and Mira, still stealthed, jumps on. She runs up the arm and when close leaps at the monsters head. She slams her Kodachi into the face and hangs on for dear life. Degameath roars in pain and goes to destroy Mira with a mighty fist. "Aaaa!" The monster punches Mira destroying her but also punching itself in the face. Degameath staggers, falls into the Tower then falls over from its own massive blow.
"Go Sanne!" Dante fires energy orbs at Ark to distract him as Sanne runs into the Tower.
"Come on, hurry up!" Sanne reaches the second platform, puts her hand on the control panel, and soon the screens fall around her. "Tower deactivated. Return to the past now!" The white bubble comes up reversing time.
Sanne and the others skip lunch to discuss what had happened. "We got lucky. If Mira hadn't done what she did we would have lost."
"Any news on strange deaths?" Sanne shakes her head. Krieger is suspicious. "How? The city was an inferno and we were on Lyoko for awhile. How could no one have died?"
"I don't know." Sanne grasps his hand in hers. "Maybe we got lucky?"
"Or Naia didn't want to kill anyone." The others look at Dante. Well, Sanne turns her head in his general direction but being blind doesn't actually look at him. "She wasn't there. You would think the first use of the Degameath monster she would have been there. She might have been controlling the attack."
"Well, either way we need help. That Degameath alone will stop us. What if there had been an Assassin or Dragons there? Or if Ark had attacked us? Zen could help us, if we talk to her and feel her out."
"No way Barack. She's only like eleven or something and we can't trust her. I barely know her."
"Well talk to her more. We need help and you and Krieger have seen her in the gym. She's obviously in good shape and knows how to fight." Sanne shakes her head. "Come on Sanne."
"No way Barack. There is no way she is getting into the group." Sanne squeezes Krieger's hand.
"Yeah, we don't know her or anything and she's too young."
"How old was Jeremie when he started?"
"That's besides the point. She's not a genius that we can rely on." Krieger raises his hand. "A vote, I vote to keep her out."
"So do I." Sanne raises her hand.
"As do I." Dante raises his.
"Sorry Barack but I agree. Just because we're desperate and outclassed by one monster doesn't mean we need to be letting in new people." Mira raises her hand leaving Barack the odd man out.
"Well, I agree not to let her in personally. But when there is an attack and we get stopped by that Degameath we're going to be sorry." Barack raises his hand. "We just need to hope we don't get stopped like last time."
"Hope all you want next time I will be there to watch." Naia watches the group smiling evilly as she and Ark plan the next attack.
A/N I came up with this monster before CL had there stupid ass Kolossus. Just ask Sailor Sedna. Grrr…. My Degameath kicks ass, able to hide unlike the other guy.
