Sorry for those of you with tech. difficulties but I know that every one doesn't have issues with the connection. And now for on to the story

Disclaimer: If I really need to put one here then something is wrong.

Tale of the Ten Swords

Chapter 4

: Super-computer:

"God dammit, what in the world were they thinking" Ulrich says, angrily.

"I don't know, but I don't think it's over just yet." Yumi states eyeing the screen closely

Yumi had pulled up a small screen over the area where Odd and Jeremy where waiting in the tower. The tower they had chosen was a pretty good one, considering how a wall of ice surrounded it. The only hole in the wall was the narrow opening.

From their place at the supercomputer, the watched Odd and Jeremy entered the tower, to XANA surrounding the tower with an army of monsters, to Jeremy leave the tower, to the monster futile attempt at harming Jeremy, to Xana's materialization, Odd's discovery, all the way up until Jeremy made his request.

Up till now, thing were looking like they couldn't possibly get much worse for them. So when Yumi said that there still might be a chance, Ulrich didn't know whether to believe her or not.

"What do you mean, Yumi?" Ulrich asked as he came over and stood beside her for a better view of the small screen.

"What I mean is that they don't look too surprised that they were caught"

Ulrich moved closer to the screen to examine their faces. When he looked at Jeremy, He could read anything, making him wonder if there was a glitch. He quickly dismissed that thought as he saw Odds tail swaying, so there wasn't a glitch, which meant that Jeremy was consciously keeping a straight face. Odd on the other hand had a bit of a sneer/smirk going on, looking like he was itching to have it out with super virus. It was a few seconds before he pulled back from studying the screen.

"Your right, neither of them look troubled at all. "

"Ok, now I'm worried. What could possibly be going through their heads right now.?"

"I don't know Yumi, we're just going to have to wait and see,"

: Lyoko:

"You heard me Xana; I want you to use the Scyphozoa to drain my memory just like you did Aelita."

"Now why would I do that," Jeremy knew where this was going and tensed up, "when I can do this?"

As if on cue, two kankrelats and krabe open fire upon Jeremy. The kankrelats shot him in the back of his legs, bring him to his knees while a krabe shot his staff out of his hand. A Blok and a Hornet were charging their laser but never had a chance to get their shots off, seeing as how Odd took them out with his laser arrows. Immediately, about fifteen lasers were charged and aiming at Odd who was standing over Jeremy with both arms out. If they wanted to get to Jeremy, they would have to go through him first. Before the air was filled with lasers and arrow heads, Jeremy's voice rang out.

"Odd, don't." Jeremy said as he summoned his staff back to his hand. With staff in hand he made it slowly back to his feet.

"Don't miss understand me, Xana", He said as an emerald aura began to emit from him, as focusing his power on Xana, and release it. The impact is self was done without a sound but felt like they were standing next to a thunderclap. For Xana, the force attack left him immobile for a few seconds as bits of little green lightning jump all over him armored body, "I don't ask this as a simple request," Jeremy raised his hand and Xana's body levitated into the air, as he close his hand, it would send bolts of energy running through its body, immobilizing the super virus , "I ask this to save you the trouble of hunting me down, for you see, that tower over there is linked to my profile, meaning if I'm devertualized before you have the access codes, the tower will lock down using a perpetual modulation program. Imagine an eight hundred digit password made up of every symbol know to man, then every time you got it wrong it would scramble itself completely and add another hundred digits to it, but of course you already understood that."

While Jeremy was 'talking' to Xana his monsters opened fire on the young mage much to the same results, they could do nothing as Jeremy held the virus in the palm of his hand.

"I also know that you need all forty one towers to fully escape lyoko, so here are your options; 1 you can choose to do as I as and drain my code, or 2, you can remain in this computer till the end of time, the choice is up to you." He said darkly.

"You expect me to believe you don't seek vengeance of some sort for the young elf?" Xana asked, still under Jeremy's immobilization spell.

"What would I do with vengeance," his voice as cold as the sector they stood in, "Revenge, no matter how sweet it maybe, won't bring her back to me. I have chosen to die bye the same hand that took her life."

For a few seconds Xana didn't speak, as if he were in a sort of trance. When he did speak it was with out any sign of emotion: "So be it."

As he said this Jeremy released his hold on the virus, but instead of fallen to the cold, hard ground, he just righted him self in mid air and set himself back on his feet. Off to the side the wine of the Scyphozoa could be heard as it made it way towards Jeremy, when it was close enough, it wrapped it tentacles around him, hoisting him up into the air. With its remaining three, it began to drain Jeremy of his digital code.

: Jeremy's pov :

As soon as the coils were in place, a strange feeling swept through out his body. It didn't hurt but instead made him feel like he was a pail of water with growing holes in it. In the farthest conners of his mind he smiled as his plan began to unfold.

Well another one bites the dust so it's that time again read and review
