ArtMage: Hey guys!

Spike: Where the hell have you been I've been at this hospital for over a year!

Everyone else: Yeah

ArtMage: Sorry…

Spike: (sigh) just get on with the story.

Yumi and Erin were brought into the scanner room by Ulrich and Spike.

"We really have to do this Jeremy? They where just released from the hospital." Ulrich asked as he helped Yumi into the Scanner.

"We have to make sure they're okay to fight in Lyoko incase X.A.N.A. launches an attack." Jeremy replied. "I'm just doing a simple scan it'll be alright."

"Alright Erin just a quick scan and I'll take you back to the Dorm." Spike said to Erin as the doors were about to close. Erin nodded.

At The Warehouse

"Griff your judgment day has arrived." X.A.N.A. said as Drak and Vamp came out. "Any last words?" Griff smirked.

"You know why I did it?" He whispered. "They'll win and when they do… I prey to god that they kill you in the most painful way possible. So that you may pay for your crimes." X.A.N.A. glared at Griff then smiled and snapped his fingers.

As though trained to do so Vamp and Drak began to close in on Griff like hungry wolves.

Suddenly Vamp lashed out with a blast of white light. Sending Griff back a few feet. Drak ran up and took Griff in his mouth (He's in his dragon form) and began to whipping him around tossing him into the air. Where he was stopped in. Griff looked down to see Vamp with one hand on his temple he smirked as he sent Griff flying into the warehouse.

At the factory

"So what's the damage?" Spike asked as he walked up to Jeremy. "Well… It's on good, but it's not bad either. They're still not 100 percent yet."

"Hell I could have told you that." Spike said in an obvious tone.

"Yes, however we could send them incase of an emergency. But I would strongly advice against it." Spike cocked an eyebrow. "Virtualizeing either of them right now would take a lot out of them. Erin's heart could exhilarate again, and Yumi might need another blood transfusion. So if we can help it we wont be sending them for at least another week."

Just then the elevator opened to reveille Yumi leaning on Ulrich and Erin leaning up against wall.

"What's the verdict?" Yumi asked. Spike and Jeremy looked at one another.

"Well… look at it this way you two get a free vacation filled with lazing about in your dorm, and no Lyoko."

Meanwhile

Drak slammed Griff with his tail almost sending into the sea. Griff slowly got to his feet coughing up blood as he did so.

The dragon just stared at his brother.

Vamp moved in for the kill at God like speeds.

"Brother… I don't… blame you for… any of this." He said with a smile just before Vamp kicked him into the ocean. An eerie silence filled the area the only thing that could be heard was the ocean against the pier.

It was a few minutes before X.A.N.A. approached them clapping.

"Well done that should keep the rest of them in their place." Drak bowed.

"I aim to please." X.A.N.A. Grinned.

"You're dismissed." The two nodded and walked back into the warehouse.

Back At The Factory

Odd and Lance walked towards the Factory with Fang on a leash.

"Why are we suddenly the official Wolf Walkers?" Lance complained. Odd shrugged his shoulders. "I mean my God we're missing lunch!" He shouted.

"Don't mention food…" Odd groaned as he held his stomach.

Just then Fang started to whimper and tug on the leash.

"Hey Fang what's wrong with you?" Odd said as he was pulled over to the side of the bridge. Lance looked at Fang, studying his movements.

"Odd…" Spike said not looking away from the wolf. "Unhook the leash…" Odd looked at him for a moment and did as he was told.

Instantly Fang jumped off the bridge into the frigid water.

"Come on!" Lance shouted as he grabbed Odd and dragged him down to the riverbank.

"Hey! What's going on?"

"When's the last time you saw Fang act like that?" Both began to watch for the wolf to emerge. They waited a moment till they saw two gray ears perk up out of the water.

"Look there he is." Odd said as he pointed out on the water. He looked to see Fang pull his head out of the water with some dark brown material clinched between his teeth. "What's in his mouth?" Lance inspected the object that Fang was now trying to pull towards shore.

"Impossible…" He said as he tossed Odd his cane and took off his trench coat, he quickly limped into the water. "Fang! Fang come on! Over here!" Lance was now swimming towards them.

Odd waded in up to his waist ready to haul them back to solid ground.

Lance struggled in the current with his bad leg (should have thought of that before jumping into the river). "Fang!" He shouted making sure the wolf knew where he was.

Just then Lance felt something rub up against his arm he instantly grabbed a hold of Fangs collar and began to swim back to shore. They had been out there a total of fifteen minutes and their bodies were ravaged (when you been in a freezing river that's a long time). Odd stuck out Lance's cane, so he could drag back them in. Lance lashed out and grabbed the cane trying not to let go of Fang..

"Hang on!" Odd shouted noticing that Lance was about to pass out. He tried to pull them in but the current was too strong, it was beginning to pull him in right along with the others. "This isn't good…" Odd as he was a bout to slip when he heard.

"ODD!"

"LANCE!

Suddenly Odd felt someone grab his shoulder keeping him up right. He looked to see Ulrich behind him.

Just then a flash of black ran into the water and grabbed Lance's wrist. Spike pulled his brother up to him.

"Ulrich! Take him!" He yelled. Ulrich released Odd and took the now unconscious Lance back to shore. Spike then grabbed Fang by the scruff of the neck, he then realized that there was someone hanging from the animal's jaws. "What the…?" He questioned as he pulled them both up onto his shoulders and carried them back to dry land. When he got to shore he let Fang jump off.

"Who's that?" Yumi asked (the girls were on the bank).

"I don't know" Spike replied as he lay the person gently on the ground, his eyes widened when he finally got a good look at them.

"Griff…"

Don't ask how Griff got from the ocean to the river cause I don't know...

So what ya think? And please don't say where the hell have you been or what took you so long. And please don't tell me I can't do Odd's character right, cause I know I can't there's a reason he's not the main charter.

Later…
