Immediately, the five went back into the elevator, four got out on the floor with the scanners while Dennis went up another floor to the laboratory.

"Alright" Dennis said "I'm sending you guys in two at a time."

"I call the middle one!" Sam said

"Hold up" Antea said "Ladies first."

"Antea, that's just discriminatory." Ami said

"Alright, we'll compromise: One guy and one girl." Calvin said

As Calvin and Antea stepped into the scanners, Dennis prepared to send them off.

"Transfer Calvin, Transfer Antea." He said as the doors of the scanners closed on the two.

"Scanner Calvin, Scanner Antea." He said as a circular ring inside the scanner began to record their physical structure.

"Virtualization!" He said as a huge gust of wind shot upward and a white light enveloped the entire inside of the scanner.

The next thing they knew, they were standing in some sort of desert. Calvin, who was amazed by all the sights around him, was the first to speak.

"So, Dennis, do you mind telling us what were supposed to be doing?"

"You have to find the tower and have Antea deactivate it while destroying XANA's monsters, who will stop at nothing to make sure you don't reach the tower. I'll send Sam and Ami in a little bit. Meanwhile, I've located the activated tower: It is 20 degrees north by northeast."

"Destroy XANA's monsters?" Calvin said "With what?"

"Look at yourselves again" Dennis said

Calvin did and he couldn't believe what he saw: His casual clothing had been replaced with a gi that was blue and white and a headband which also had the same color scheme. On his back was a tall bo staff which he took out and began examining it.

Antea was much different; she had a matching pink and green outfit and had the physical appearance of an elf. Unlike Calvin, she carried no weapons.

"Dennis, what's going on what's with the exotic costumes?" Calvin said

"I'll explain later, Sam and Ami are on their way, now head for the tower."

As they prepared to head of two more figures appeared behind them. One was wearing a purple uniform and has three long claws on each hand. Another was wearing a black uniform similar to a ninja uniform minus the face mask and carrying a small dagger and wearing a bandolier filled with smaller throwing knives. Calvin immediately recognized these figures as Sam and Ami.

"Woah" Antea said "You guy's should see yourselves."

"I know isn't it cool? I have claws!" Sam shouted "So how does this work?"

"Well, from what I understand," Dennis said "it's judged by subconscious desire and…"

"Not that. This game."

"This isn't a game, Sam. The entire world could be at stake. Now come on."

As they ran to the tower, Dennis noticed something on the screen.

"You're getting close to the tower but watch out, a group of XANA's monsters have spotted you."

As they were running they noticed four tiny roach-like monsters with a small eye on them were approaching them.

"These puny things are XANA's monsters?" Sam said "You've got to be kidding me. There only a few inches tall, I could just kick them on their side and they couldn't do anything about it."

As Sam continued to mock the small creatures, Calvin noticed something that caught his attention.

"Uh, Sam? Look"

Sam stopped laughing and noticed three huge crab-like monsters were approaching them.

"Oh, dear. Now what?"

"We fight!" Calvin said as he pulled out his staff.

"No way!" Ami said "Virtual or not, their still animals, and I'm not going to resort to senseless violence when it comes to…" But then, she was interrupted by a laser blast from one of the crab-like monsters.

"Ami!" Calvin shouted running to her "Are you alright?"

Ami paid no attention to him and immediately ran up to the crab monster, dagger in hand "That's it! Animal or not, nobody does that to me!" She shouted as she ran up to the first and second crab-monster and destroyed it, she then went up to the smaller roach monsters and threw a few throwing knifes at two of them. After that, she calmed down.

"Holy Shit." Sam said almost speechless.

"Lesson #1, guys:" Calvin said "Never piss off my little sister under any circumstances."

"Roger that" Sam, Antea, and Dennis said

"Alright guys" Dennis said "From here you should see the tower."

"You mean the tall looking thing with the red fire around it?" Sam asked

"Uh, yeah, I guess." Dennis said "Can't you just call it a tower?"

"Can't you just call it a tall looking thing with red fire around it?" Sam asked again but before Dennis could speak the last remaining crab monster shot Sam in the back.

"Alright ladies, this one is mine." Sam said as he ran up to it.

"Ladies?" Calvin said "But I'm a guy."

"It's a figure of speech, Calvin"

"Ahhh, I don't get it."

"We'll talk about it later. You and Antea, just finish off the roach looking things."

"But I can't even do anything." Antea said as a blast of energy shot out of her hand and onto the first roach monster killing it immediately.

"Except shoot blasts of pure energy, apparently." Calvin said

As Sam was about to attack the crab monster, it threw him off and shot him in the back, he instantly disappeared in small cubicle particles.

"Sam!" Calvin shouted

"Don't worry," Dennis said "he's just been materialized back on Earth. That's what happens when you run out of life points. Now go and deactivate the tower."

"Yeah" Antea said "Mind telling us how that's done?"

"Antea, you run into the tower go up a floor, place your hand on the screen, and enter Code: Lyoko."

"How do you know all this?" Antea said

"From his father's book." Calvin said "Now go."

As Antea ran up to the tower, Calvin had noticed something on top of the tower.

"Antea, look out!" Calvin said as he shoved her out of the way of the tower. A sword had fallen down and struck Calvin in the leg intending to hit Antea. Calvin looked up and saw a shadowy figure who disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Calvin tried to get up but his leg was really hurting.

"Are you all right?" Antea asked

"I'll be fine, now get to the tower."

She did just that. As she entered the tower, she went up one floor, placed her hand on a small screen that appeared in front of her and on the screen were the following words.

AELITA

CODE

LYOKO

After that, the red aura that covered the tower was replaced with a blue one. The screens surrounding the inside of the tower fell and the last thing they knew, they were back on Earth.
