Beasts

Outside

The cloaked figure parched himself in a near by tree as Spike and Erin spoke. "So what do you want?" Erin asked. "Well you were with me when she … you know, and I didn't know who else to turn to." Spike replied. "You get like this near every Christmas and we have this talk every time. Would she want you to be like this? This cold person who puts on a mask only to have that mask come off every Christmas." Erin said. "Okay your 10 time's more cold than me." He argued trying not to laugh. They looked at one another and soon got lost in each other's eyes. They were now mere centimeters apart. "Not good." Said the cloaked figure before he jumped down causing Erin and Spike to pull apart. "Hey look who ever you are you got really bad timing." Spike said clearly annoyed. The figure took out his cell phone and pressed something causing it to glow bright red.

At the Dance

The figure stood silently in the shadows as if waiting for something. Suddenly his cell phone began to glow bright red. A sick sadistic smile played a crossed his face. He then started to walk calmly onto the dance floor, when he reached the middle of the dance floor he reached into the pocket of his trench coat and pulled out a small handgun. He raised it and fired a shot. Which was more than enough to start the screaming. People where running around screaming trying to get out. Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy, Emily, and Lance were heading towards one of the exits. When the figure shot Jeremy in the ribs. "You're not going anywhere." He said taking off his trench coat to revile two gray wings. "How'd he get thoughts?" Odd asked. He chuckled. "You're not the only ones that can travail to Lyoko. The higher areas of X.A.N.A's army gets to travail there thus granting us ower abilities." His bright yellow eyes landed on Lance. "I'll make you a deal griffin you beat me and I'll let you and your friends go but if you loose, I get your life and the girl." He said turning his look from Lance to Yumi. "Do I have a choice in the matter?" Lance asked. "No not really." He replied before morfing in to what looked like a griffin. "That's not a griffin is it?" Emily asked. Lance shook his head. "No, it's a hippogriff." Suddenly the hippogriff dug his claws into Lance's shirt and through him a crossed the room. "Lance!" They all cried. "Don't worry … I'll need medical attention after this … but I can take him." Lance replied kind of in a daze.

With Erin and Spike

Spike stood infront of Erin. "What do you want?" He asked. "Erin, it's been so long sense we've seen each other. How are you?" The cloaked figure asked as if he were an old friend. "Answer me!" Spike yelled getting even more impatient. "Ya know Erin you should really keep that dragon on a leash. Speaking of leash … ware is that mutt of yours?" His question was answered by and large dog jumping on him and pining him to the ground. "Spike see if you can lead this guy back to the gym, I got an idea." Erin said before running into the shadows. "Erin … how am I going to do that!?! Ah screw it I'll wing it." Spike ran towards them until Fang was thrown on him. "If you think I'm going to be as easy as some of thoughts thugs you faced your sadly mistaken." The cloaked figure said reviling a white scaled dragon tail. "Ah shit… you're a dragoon?" Spike said. The dragoon charged him but Spike evaded.

With the others

Lance was getting thrashed, and was loosing blood fast. Odd had put his jacket over the wound but it wasn't helping that much. Lance laid in a small pool of blood caused by the hippogriff's claws. He slowly got up only to have the hippogriff head-butt in the gut thus throwing him into the wall. Lance tried to get up, but just fell back down to the ground.

With Spike

Spike and the dragoon kept punching each other, but neither of them seamed to care. "(Erin might need my help)" Fang thought before running into the shadows after her. "Even the mutt has lost faith in you. Why don't you just give up." He said. "Ya know your right." Spike said before running into the shadows.

With the others

The hippogriff stood over Lance with his claws at the ready. Suddenly Spike burst through the doors and jumped on the beast with such force he knocked it over. The hippogriff roared and started bucking like a horse, but spike just rapped his arms around the beast's neck. The hippogriff continued to buck roll anything to get the human of his back. Lance started to get up. Spike looked around for something anything that would help him, then he saw it … the hand gun that the hippogriff had when he was in his human form. Spike jumped off the hippogriff's back and grabbed the gun. He then raised it and shot the roof about 5 times causing it to fall on the hippogriff. "Come on that wont hold him for long!" Spike shouted while helping Lance walk. Odd and Ulrich picked up Jeremy and walked outside. When they got there the dragoon was waiting for them, then the hippogriff jumped through one of the windows and stood next to him. Just then they heard the roar of an engine. A truck with a motorcycle in the back going at full speed backed up over the beasts. Erin stuck her head out and looked at them. "Told you I had a plan Spike." She said then hopped out of the truck. The Truck was a light blue color with a picture of a griffin on the driver's side on the other side was a black Pegasus with a white main and of the tailgate was a phoenix. The motorcycle was dark blue with a black dragon on it. "Ya finished my truck!" Lance said completely exited. "Yep and I even finished Spike's bike." Erin replied. "Ah guys we got monsters under the wheel and Jeremy's bleeding to death." Emily said. "Oh yeah uh Erin you and I will take the bike and go on ahead. The rest of you will take the truck." Spike said. Yumi and Emily got into the front seat while Lance put Jeremy in the back seat (It's a four door), Odd and Ulrich hopped into the bed. Spike put down the tailgate and got on his bike along with Erin. "Fang stay here." Erin ordered. The wolf groaned and laid down in the bed of the truck. Spike revved the motor and took off. Lance sped off after them.

From ware they were

The dragoon sat up and held his head. "That's going to leave a mark." He groaned. The hippogriff picked up his head and looked to the dragoon. "Well the men are probably bored. Should we send them after the targets hu?" The hippogriff nodded. The dragoon pulled out a cell phone. "Hey, they're heading your way." He said. "Copy that."

With Lance

Suddenly about 7 guys motorcycles on started chasing them. "Ulrich Odd get down!" Lance yelled. Bullets started to fly every where. Ulrich seemed to be in a trance when a bullet flew towards him, but in a flash of fur and blood Fang grabbed Ulrich by the shoulder and yanked him down. Ulrich looked to Fang who was laying on the floor of the pick up panting. Upon closer inspection he saw a bullet hole in Fangs right shoulder. He also saw Fangs jaws were covered in blood, his blood he looked to his own shoulder and saw were Fang had bit him. It was now pouring out blood. "Hang on we're almost there." Lance called.

With Spike

It wasn't easier for Spike or Erin as bullets flew by. "Erin I see the factory but we don't have time to stop so hang on." Spike said. "Spike the last time you tried this you we're put into intensive care." Erin argued. "Ah you worry to much." Spike replied. "And the last time you said that you were sent to the emergency room." She said. "What's your point?" Spike said. Erin sighed and continued to return fire. "Okay here it comes so hang on!" Spike yelled. Erin put her gun back and rapped her arms tightly around Spike's waist. They entered the factory and jumped off the ledge (You know the spot were they slide down the ropes) when they hit the ground they slid until they hit the wall inside the elevator. "I told ya you worry to much. See not a scratch on me." Spike said proudly. "Oh really, direct your attention to your right arm." Erin replied. Spike looked down to his arm, which was just limp. "Uh Erin would be a sweet heart and pop my arm back into place?" He asked. "Call me sweet heart again and I'll blow the whistle on what's under thoughts sunglasses of yours." She replied. "You wouldn't." Spike said. "Oh I would. Now hold still." She said grabbing Spike's arm and twisting it till it slid back into place. Spike was speechless with pain. "Hold the elevator!" Odd called. He and Ulrich were caring Jeremy while Lance was leaning on Yumi and Emily. Leaving Fang to limp towards them, blood spilt with each step he took. "What happened to Fang?" Erin asked. "He was … shot." Ulrich replied. "He was protecting you wasn't he?" She asked again noticing Ulrich's bleeding shoulder. He nodded trying not to make eye contact with her. Erin pulled out a long peace of cloth and rapped it around her right arm. She slowly walked towards Fang, who stopped dead in his tracks and started to growl. "Easy Fang easy." She whispered extending her right arm to pet him. In a flash Fang had her arm in his jaws. Erin made no attempt to remove her arm. Somehow she managed to keep a calm face dissipate the fact that blood was now dripping from her arm. Fang's eyes met her's, and his expression softened. He whimpered and let go as if to say sorry. "It's okay Fang." Erin said rapping the cloth around Fang's eyes. She then picked him up and walked towards the others. We she got into the elevator she noticed Lance's Shocked expression. "You just got'a know how to handle him." She said. "Yeah well on a personal note I'd prefer you handle the 110 pound wolf." Lance replied.

In the Lab

Erin had administered the Nano bots to Jeremy and Fang. They laid resting on the tables. "Hey what about us?" Lance asked. "Your going to Lyoko you won't need it." Erin replied. "For one brief and shining moment we had a nice Erin then … she turns back into a Bitch." Lance thought. "Okay I talked to Aelita she knows everything so she's going to transfer us." Spike said. "Hey Lance where's Emily?" He asked. "I told her to go back to school and cover for us." Lance replied. "Works for me, now get in the scanners." Erin replied.

(It's to long for me. But you know the whole scanning process)

In the dessert regain

The six beings emerged in lyoko. "Hey you guys see Aelita?" Spike asked. "There she is." Odd announced. "But what's that chasing her?" Yumi asked. "It looks like a bull." Lance replied. Aelita was being chased by what looked like a bull covered in dark yellow armor, but instead of eyes it had three X.A.N.A marks on it's face. Just then Aelita tripped. In a flash Lance turned into his beast form. Odd jumped on the griffin, run towards Aelita scooped her up and flew off into the sky. At that time Spike jumped onto the bull held on to its horns and slashed it's face with his tail thus causing it to blow up. Spike and Lance landed right infront of Ulrich. "Okay… what the hell was that and where's the tower?" Spike asked. "I wish I could tell you what that was but I don't know." Aelita explained. "But the tower's right on the next Plato." "Alright lets get going." Ulrich said. Erin morfed into her Phoenix form and knelt down a wing to let Yumi on. Yumi stepped back in fear, for she still had a grate fear of hights which only grew when she flew on Spike. And he could fight on land and in the air… but Erin was strictly air. The Phoenix stared at her for a wile but soon understood and took flight. Odd and Lance walked up to Yumi and said. "Hop on we won't fly… no need to." Yumi climbed onto the griffin's back as Ulrich and Aelita got on Spike's. With that they were off.

In the Real World

The dragoon and the hippogriff landed on the bridge infront of the factory. "Shall we?" Asked the dragoon. "Oh yes lets." The hippogriff replied changing back into his human form.

In the lab

"Wait infront of Erin's scanner dear brother, but be shore not to harm her… mentally at least, that's my job." The dragoon's voice rang in the lab. "You truly are a sick man." His brother replied. "Thank you." He replied.

In the Super Calculator Room

The dragoon was typing away at the computer. "Lets see where are you… ah there you are." He said as the screen landed on Erin. "One more code and…"

In Lyoko

Erin was flying next to Spike when a lightning bolt came zooming through the air hitting Erin in the chest. She began to fall but before she hit the ground she devirtualized. "What was that all about?" Ulrich asked.

In the Lab

Erin walked slowly out of the scanner still in a daze from the trip back. When suddenly out of know where the hippogriff kicked Erin away from the scanner. He turned back into his human form and got in. "Now!" He yelled. "Transfer Griff. Scanner Griff. Virtualization!" The dragoon said. Erin sat up and looked around. " What the hell?" She asked. "Why don't you come on up Erin? We can talk, and watch your friends get destroyed." Said the dragoon over the loud speaker.

Meanwhile in Lyoko

"There's the tower!" Yumi shouted. Ulrich pulled back on the rains and said. "Land." The dragon did as it was told and landed next to the Griffin. "What's up?" Odd asked. "It's to easy… and what shot Erin." Ulrich replied. "Maybe X.A.N.A created another new monster." Yumi suggested. "Not likely it takes a lot of energy to create a new monster program. I don't think X.A.N.A has enough energy to create another." Aelita explained. "So then what happened to Erin?" Spike asked as he turned back into his human form. Just then the hippogriff appeared right infront of them. "Oh you needn't worry about her she's perfectly safe." He said. "Where's Erin what have you done with her!?!" Spike roared. "Calm down dragon, like I said she's safe." He replied. "Who are you?" Lance asked. "The name is Griff."

In the Real World

Erin walked out of the elevator to see the dragoon was waiting for her. Erin was surprised and shocked at what he did next… he hugged her. She quickly broke the embrace. "Okay I might be a little confused on the subject but aren't we enemies?" Erin asked. The dragoon looked deeply into her eyes. "You really don't remember me do you?" He asked. "Should I?" She asked. "Well three years ago we were friends." He replied. Erin gave him a confused look. "Well I guess I should introduce myself again. My name is Drak." He said. "That wasn't your name three years ago was it?" Erin asked. Drak shook his head. "So what was it?" "I'll let you figure that out." He replied. "Now X.A.N.A has made a special request that you come with me. So will it be the easy way or the hard way." Drak said as he lent out his hand. Erin backed up a little. He sighed. "Why do they always choose the hard way?" He asked as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

In Lyoko

"So who's going to take me on first?" Griff asked. "Or will you all do it at once?" "I'll take you on. After all we have a score to settle." Lance said stepping forward. Griff grinned and walked forward. When they were but a few steps away from each other they turned into their beast forms. They jumped on each other; Griff went for Lance's neck while Lance tore at Griff's wings. "Odd take Aelita to the tower I don't think Erin is much safer then Lance right now." Spike whispered. "Okay." Odd replied. As he took Aelita passed the griffin and the hippogriff. Nether of the mighty beasts seemed to notice them.

In the real world

Erin was having her own problems. Drak was more than a formidable opponent and she could tell her heart couldn't take much more, and she knew Drak knew about her heart problem. She just dodged one of his kicks when it happened, the sharp pain entered her chest she soon found it very difficult to move her any of her limbs. Her body was shutting down and she couldn't do anything about it. Drak saw and took his chance, he grabbed her hands and handcuffed them behind her back. That was when he pulled out what looked like a gun. Erin soon recognized it as a vaccine gun. He pulled her hair to one side and injected what ever he had into her neck. Soon she fell limp and landed in Draks arms.

In lyoko

Lance fell to the ground unconscious. The hippogriff stood over him triumphantly. Then his eyes fell upon Yumi. He started to walk towards her when Ulrich and Spike jumped infront of him. "That's far enough." Spike said. The hippogriff just grinned. Griff continued to walk forward he grabbed Spike by the neck and threw him in to a near by rock. Ulrich charged him with his sword but the hippogriff just caught the sword in his beak turned around and kicked Ulrich in the chest sending him flying. He turned back to Yumi only to get her fan in his face; he fell on his back but quickly got up. Yumi threw her fan at him again but this time Griff caught it like a dog with a Frisbee, and with one chomp shattered it. He continued to walk toward her when he was but a few feet from her the white light emerged from the tower, he looked from the light to her then jumped in the air prepared to strike her down.

In the Real World

Drak was carrying Erin out of the factory when the light engulfed him.

At the Dance

"Well at least we can finish ower dance now." Ulrich said. "Yeah and Spike managed to get Erin to go out with him." Yumi said. "How'd he do that?" Ulrich asked. "He told her Lance was busy tonight but his truck was acting weird." Yumi said surprising a laugh. "That'll work." He said. Yumi rested her head on his shoulder.

With Spike and Erin

Spike and Erin sat under a tree on a hill looking up at the meteor shower. "So is this as bad as you thought?" Spike asked. Erin shook her head. "So why didn't you tell me about this the first time?" Erin asked. "I uh … I thought you were still mad at me." He replied. "Spike I wasn't mad at you … I … I was just stressed because of…." "You don't have to tell me." Spike said resting his left arm on her shoulders. "Thanks" Erin replied. "So when did you catch on." He asked. "Right after you told me." She replied. They continued to watch the stars. Just then he felt something on his shoulder. He looked down to see that Erin had fallen asleep on his shoulder. "She sleeps?" He said sounding surprised considering she hadn't slept in 5 days. He looked around then took off his sunglasses to revile a dark blue eye (we can only see the left side of his face). "I wish I could see you in color all the time." He said with a sad look upon his face. At that time it started to snow. He looked up at the sky, and with a little difficulty he took off his coat and placed it over her. He grinned and looked down at her. "She's so beautiful." He thought.

Yes two all nighters and 15 cups of coffee have paid off!!! Now if you will excuse me I go night night now.
