Trouble...
Today Jeremy had something to tell Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Aelita, and Ryan. They all went to the factory and on the way, they bought some ice-cream. Ulrich and Yumi got some chocolate and vanilla mixed. Odd had gotten a vanilla, then he asked if he could have a tiny drop of grape on it, the ice-cream looked like a miniature Odd. Ryan got a Blueberry ice-cream. Aelita didn't have any money so she walked away. Ryan saw her leave and he felt kinda bad that she couldn't get an ice-cream cone. So he bought a strawberry flavored ice-cream, and he followed Aelita.
Aelita had gotten halfway to the factory when Ryan caught up with her.
'Hey!! Aelita wait a minute!' Ryan shouted out to her as loud as he could. She turned around and smiled. He was panting and he smiled.
'Hey, here I got this for you. I felt bad that you didn't get one, so I decided to get you one myself.' Ryan said as he handed her the ice-cream cone. She smiled and gave him a hug. He blushed and smiled. Then they saw the others coming, so they quickly got out of the hug. Odd ran over to them smiling.
'Hey guys look at the ice-cream we got Eienstein! It's cookie flavored!!' Shouted Odd, everyone laughed. Then they heard someone clearing their throat, they turned around and saw Jeremy standing right in front of them.
'Well now that that's over. Would you all like to come inside?' Jeremy asked, Ryan scratched the back of his head and they all finished their ice-creams and went in. They saw the scanners indicating a tower activating. Ryan just smirked.
'Duty calls.' After Ryan said that, they all went to the scanners, and Jeremy started the virtualization.
'Odd, Ulrich, Ryan. You guys will go in first. Understood? The activated tower is in the desert sector. Aelita and Yumi will be with you in a minute.' Jeremy said. They all nodded.
'I thought the expression was "lady's first." But you do what you want.' Ryan joked. Everyone laughed and Jeremy kinda chuckled too.
'Alright then, Transfer Odd, Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Ryan. Scanner Odd, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Ryan. VIRTUALIZATION!!' Then Jeremy sent them into Lyoko. Ryan felt that wierd breeze again, he had to admit, it did feel good.
They all appeared in the forest sector after the transfer was done. Ryan looked around and didn't see any monsters. Jeremy had already set the vehicles. Right next to them was a new vehicle. It was a blue board with a dragon symbol on it.
'Ryan, I took the liberty of designing a board for you as well. I hope it is to your liking.' Jeremy said, Ryan was all star eyed, he then ran over to his board and got on. Odd and Ulrich got on their vehicles and they waited for the ladies to arrive.
Aelita and Yumi were finally virtualized Yumi got on Ulrich's bike and Aelita got on Odd's board. Ryan then sped off towards the tower that would take all of them to the desert sector. The others sped along right behind him. In only 10 seconds they saw the tower that would take them to the desert sector.
Before they got to it, they some some crab monsters started firing at them, Ryan decided to avert their attention so the others could hurry and get the job done.
'Hey you guys head to the tower! I'll take care of these uhh...whatever they are.' Shouted Ryan, they all got the message and they continued on their way to the tower. Ryan jumped off of his board slashing through one of the crabs with his claw arm, then one fired at his stomach, hitting him pretty hard.
'Ryan watch out, you just lost 20 life points!' Jeremy shouted. Ryan got up and pulled out his sword, then crabs started firing at him again, but he blocked them this time with his sword and stabbed one with his sword and the other with his claw arm, the last one fired at him but he ran behind it in a flash and slashed it in half. Then he sheathed his sword and walked away. The crabs exploded only seconds after he got back on his board. Then he shot off towards the tower hoping to catch up to the others in time.
Back in the real world at the dormitory...
Anthony and Nicole were running from a box monster that had gotten loose thanks to Xana's handiwork. Anthony tried looking around for something to hit it with. Then he saw an open door and he dragged Nicole inside. He didn't notice that they were in Yumi's room. He looked around for anything that might help.
'Argghhhh!! Hat, shoes, panties and...wait...PANTIES!!' Shouted Anthony and he held up a pair of Yumi's underwear, then he shoved them in his pockets. Nicole smacked him on the head, he blushed for a sec and he checked the closet for something usefull. What he found was more than usefull. He found an old Japanese suit of armor, complete with a sword. He took the sword.
'This should be against the law. But since it is going to save us, I guess I can make an exception.' Anthony smirked, he pulled the sword out of it's sheath. Then he turned around to see that the monster had just gotten in. He went at the monster and slashed at it, he left marks, but it was still coming. He then thought about hitting it in the center of it's eye, so he stabbed it's eye. It stopped and it ran away as fast as it could. Then it blew up. Anthony laughed to himself.
'HAHAHAHAHA!! Well, that's it, now I'm bored.' Anthony said bluntly. Nicole just shook her head and laughed.
Back on Lyoko...
Ryan was still trying to catch up to the others, though unkown to him they were ambushed. He kept going as fast as he could. He reached the tower only to see nothing. He took a look behind the tower. They weren't there either. Ryan was getting worried so he decided to ask Jeremy to see if he knew where they were.
'Hey Jeremy!! Do you know where the others are? I...seem to have lost them!' Shouted Ryan, he waited patiently for Jeremy's reply.
'They should be in the desert sector right now Ryan.' Jeremy said, Ryan nodded.
'Yea...probably should have asked this earlier but...where IS the Desert Sector?' Asked Ryan. Jeremy slapped himself on his forehead. He told Ryan that he needed to go into the tower and jump down. He would land on another tower in a different sector. Ryan nodded and got into the tower. Looked the same as the other one, Ryan looked down for a minute a bit nervous.
'Is it too late to say I'm afraid of heights?' Asked Ryan, he didn't get a reply from Jeremy and he sighed. Then he jumped down praying as he fell. When he was about to hit the ground a feeling rushed through him and he was gently floated down.
'COOOOOLLLLL!!' Shouted Ryan, then he ran out of the tower and got on his board after Jeremy virtualized it there. He had to hurry to make sure the others were ok...
With Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and Aelita...
Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and Aelita had taken the chance that Ryan gave them to get away as fast as they could. Aelita took a look back, but she kept her eyes forward. They saw a couple of Block monsters. They fired a couple of blasts at Ulrich, but he blocked them with his sword, then Yumi threw her fan at one of them, destroying it. Odd destroyed the last one with his laser arrow, giving himself a good thumbs-up. He laughed for a sec, and when they all reached the tower, they got off their vehicles and ran into the tower.
Once inside they all fell down the tower, landing safely in the next one. They ran out and got on their vehicles and sped off, then before they could reach the activated tower. More blocks appeared, Ulrich told the rest of the gang to go, one of them destroyed Ulrich's bike, so he jumped off, then he then activated his triplicate move, showing 3 Ulrichs in a triangle around the monsters. Then the Ulrichs stabbed two of the monsters but the third one blasted at all 3 Ulrichs destroying two of them. The block was about to destroy Ulrich but it stopped. Ulrich looked to the left, and he saw Ryan's sword sticking into the monster, he looked over to see Ryan on his board flying as fast as he could.
When he got to Ulrich, he grabbed Ulrich and his sword. Then the monster blew up. Ryan and Ulrich went as fast as they could to reach the others in time. Odd, Yumi, and Aelita were surrounded by 5 tarantulas. They managed to destroy one of them with Odd using his special laser arrow, but after he took it down, he was blasted away by the other tarantulas, then he disappeared. Yumi was all alone with Aelita, Aelita fired off one of her blasts at the tarantulas, destroying it, Yumi destroyed on of them by jumping on it's back then doing a backflip she soared over the monster and threw her fan at it, destroying it. But the last two destroyed Yumi, Aelita was all alone now, but before the monster could blast her, Ryan and Ulrich made it. They jumped off of Ryan's board and it nailed the tarantulas in the head, then Ulrich slashed one tarantula's head off. But the last tarantula blasted Ulrich away after he tried protecting Aelita. Ryan unsheathed his sword and smirked.
'It's Showtime!'
Battle Mode...Ryan Vs Tarantula
Ryan ran at the tarantula only to be stopped by it's blasters, he managed to block them with his claw arm and his sword. But he didn't know how long he could keep this up. Then the tarantula slammed Ryan towards a rock, he looked pretty weak at the moment. He shook his head and stood up, he charged at the tarantula, only to be blasted back, he blocked two of the blasts, but then his sword was glowing blue again, and he fired the energy attack at the tarantula. It blew up quite nicely, but then Ryan was nearly cut in half, but he dodged in time to see what slashed at him. Aelita turned around and saw what tried to destroy Ryan, it was William. He slashed at Aelita, but Ryan blocked it with his claw arm, Ryan tried slashing at him, but he blocked every move and tried to slam his fist into Ryan's face, jumped back and jumped at William stabbing him with his sword and his claw arm. William growled and stabbed Ryan right in the stomach devirtualizing him, Aelita saw this as a chance and ran into the tower. She went up to the control panel and typed in her name, and then she typed in the password again. Then the tower had turned blue again.
'Tower deactivated.' Said Aelita, and Jeremy devirtualized Aelita. Ryan was waiting for her, she smiled and they went to the elevator. Once they were up, Jeremy patted Ryan on the back and told him about William, Ryan couldn't beleive that William was once on their side, in a way Ryan kinda felt bad for him. Then he took Aelita by the hand. Ryan noticed it and mentally slapped himself.
'OF COURSE SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!' Ryan mentally slapped himself. He noticed the others look at him wierdly. Then he just laughed and scratched his head. He felt stupid at the moment. He should have known that Jeremy would like her, and she likes him back.
'Well, as long as she's happy.' Thought Ryan. He smiled as he saw Aelita and Jeremy together, but then he felt as if his heart was ripped out. He walked behind Aelita the whole way. The others went to their dorm, Ryan went outside and sat out on one of the bleechers at the field. He just stared at the sky wondering what had just happened in the last few days. Not even 2 days ago he was just a normal teenage boy, now he is a warrior of Lyoko. He sighed and closed his eyes. He felt something tap his shoulders and he saw Aelita just sitting there looking at him, he laughed and scratched the back of his head. She laughed too.
'So what are you doing out here Ryan?' Asked Aelita, Ryan just sat back lazily.
'I was just thinking about what lie I am gonna tell Anthony and Nicole next time I try to sneak out of the dorm.' After Ryan said that, Aelita giggled, Ryan chuckled a bit too.
'Hey...Ryan?' Asked Aelita, Ryan looked at her for a second.
'Yea?' Replied Ryan, Aelita smiled a bit.
'Thanks for what you did today. With the ice-cream and all that.' Said Aelita, Ryan just scratched the back of his head and smiled.
'Hey, it was my pleasure, you looked really down. It sucked to see you like that.' Said Ryan and he blushed a bit. She smiled and hugged him. Ryan felt like he was in heaven, then Aelita waved goodbye and walked back to her room. Ryan smiled and fell asleep there on that bleecher.
