Chapter Eight:

Unexpected Surprises

Yumi POV

"Aelita," Jeremy said to Aelita from Earth, "You have to get to the tower soon. Odd's having a little trouble with the Scyphozoa."

"We're trying our best Jeremy," I replied.

"I'll try Jeremy," Aelita said, "But the Bloks and Krabes are blocking the way to the tower!"

"Yumi and I will try to make a passage," Ulrich said, "But it will take some time. Ready Yumi?"

"Yeah," I said, "Get ready to run through Aelita."

Ulrich unsheathed his swords and I unfurled my fans. We were in the desert sector of Lyoko. Ulrich, Aelita and I were trying to get through an army of about twenty or so Bloks and Krabes.

If we succeeded in that Aelita could go deactivate the tower and stop the Scyphozoa. But right now we were stuck fighting all of these Bloks and Krabes.

I looked over to Ulrich who smiled at me. Then he ran off and imbedded his sword into a Blok. I threw my two fans and they each hit a Krabe straight on. Both Krabes exploded and my fans flew back to me.

Ulrich split into three and he ran at the monsters, full speed. One of his clones was hit and it disappeared, the other hit a Krabe and the third hit a Blok.

Soon Ulrich and I were destroying monster after monster. Some times we worked on our own to defeat them and other times we worked as a team.

After a bit we finally cleared a path for Aelita.

"Thanks guys," she said as she ran by.

"It was nothing," Ulrich replied after slashing the last Krabe.

"All in a day's work," I said smiling as Aelita disappeared into the tower.

"Good job Yumi," Ulrich said as he walked up to me.

"You too," I said, "That's the most monsters we have fought together in a while."

As we were talking, a Kankrelat crawled out from behind the tower and shot me.

"Yumi!" Ulrich cried as I started to dematerialize. He threw one of his swords at the Kankrelat. Then he quickly, before I was gone, kissed me on the lips. Before either of us could do anything else I was gone from Lyoko and back on Earth.

Lia POV

I felt tentacles wrap around my body as I turned toward Odd. They lifted me off the ground and into the air. I struggled, trying to get it to let go of me. I even bit the slimy thing. It didn't even loosen its grip.

"Odd help me!" I screamed as I felt tentacles press against my forehead.

Then I lost all knowledge of where I was or what was happening. All I could see was black. All I could think of was the feeling that I was slowly losing something. I wasn't quite sure what.

After what seemed like an eternity of this, I regained consciousness. I was on the ground and I still felt slightly woozy. I looked around quickly for the monster and Odd, and I found them both.

The tentacled menace was behind me and the poor guy was pretty much chopped in half. A few sparks crackled from him but he was still, very dead. A little bit away from it, Odd was kneeling on the ground the chainsaw still in his hand.

I slowly crawled over to him. "Odd? Odd, are you OK?" I asked.

He opened his eyes and smiled at me, "Yes, I'm just resting a bit. Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to you," I replied, "What was that thing trying to do to me anyway?"

"It was trying to kill you."

"What? By sucking out my brains?"

"Well, yeah."

"Oh, well, thank you," I said, smiling, "For saving my life."

"It was nothing," he said, sitting up.

"No, it wasn't," I said, "Nobody has ever saved my life before. I usually have to save my own."

I smiled brightly at him and he smiled back.

"Well Lia," he said, "Are you ready for a back to the past?"

"A what?" I asked as I looked at the monster's carcass.

I knew what he said but I just didn't know what it was. Every time they mentioned it I always thought of my episodes, that's exactly what they were. Back to the pasts. Every time I thought of my episodes, I felt angry. They had ruined my life and many of the new lives I tried to start. I hoped with all my heart that they wouldn't ruin this one, virtual world and all.

"It's nothing," Odd said, "But before you go I want to give you something."

I turned to face him to see what it was and he kissed me on the lips. At that very moment I felt an episode coming on and I we were launched back to the past. I didn't even have time to think about what had just happened.

Yes, I know this is a short chapter, please don't yell at me! I couldn't add anymore or I'd just be rambling. I'm not great with action scenes either so I couldn't do much on Lyoko or with the Scyphozoa.

Just to let everyone know. What I think happens when the Scyphozoa grabs you is all my interpretation. If you think it happens differently, you can think that way. I don't.

Count down to the Fluffiest chapter you will ever read: Four more Chapters!
