Sorry in advance for any character maiming. I hope to be able to stay true to your characters, and I hope this story comes out well, but I really can't promise anything. Wish me luck! Oh, tell me whether or not you think I should connect the OC application forms to the story.

Tyleana's POV
I yawned as Jace, Gianna, and I headed into Italian. The boys and Lilly were headed off to drama.
"Oh boy, I am so not in the mood for Italian," I complained.
Jace gave a small smile. "If you did the homework, you wouldn't have trouble," she reminded, an eyebrow cocked.
Gem slid into a seat, and Jace and I situated our chairs around her.
"Settle down, settle down," the teacher called out.
Obediently, I sunk into my own thoughts, about Lyoko, and my new friends. In all honesty, I didn't know much, anything actually, about them.
I wondered how I missed out on this whole Lyoko thing. I mean, I like a good story as much as the next girl, and even though I'd never believe something like Lyoko without seeing it, I have to wonder why no one ever told me about it.
I blinked, a piece of paper landing on my desk. I unfolded it under my desk, to find myself staring at a Italian phrase.
"Tyleana!" The teacher called. "Are you still with us? Would you mind answering question three?"
"Um." I glanced up at the board, then down at the paper. Might as well give it a shot.
I quickly shot off the answer, much to the teacher's surprise.
I glanced over to where Gem was giving me raised eyebrows. I gave her a grin back, and forced my mind to stay on the class.
.
After class, we met up at our lunch table.
Eva was still fuming about my publicly recited poem, and she, Rose, Tyler, Lucas, and Joanna were sitting at a table a ways off.
Hutch walked over with Ertugrul and Lilly.
The boys sat down, and we discussed our classes.
After listening for a bit, I changed the subject.
"Alright, I get that Lyoko is a virtual world, and that X.A.N.A. attacks us, but, I mean, there's got to be more to this."
Ertugrul frowned. "The legend goes, that a long time ago, four kids found the supercomputer, along with a girl who lived inside, and X.A.N.A. They fought X.A.N.A. to free the girl, and before long, they got her out, at the same time X.A.N.A. escaped. Then, well, legend has it X.A.N.A. disappeared. People assumed that the Guardians of Lyoko, as the five kids became known as, trapped him in Lyoko. That's where the whole person who turns it on gets the ability to deactivate towers. It's believed that this was a precaution left behind by the Guardians."
I blinked. "Well, what happened to them? And X.A.N.A.?"
"Well," Hutch said, "it's weird. Lyoko was supposed to have been shut off thirty years ago, but the legend only popped up twenty-five years ago. No one knows where it stemmed from. Everyone assumed it just a story." He frowned. "But, no, the story never does say what happened to the Guardians. I don't even know who started the legend."
The bell for lunch's end rang, but we all had a break period, so we decided to head out.
"Argh!" Jace gasped, as she tripped over TJ's extended leg.
I quickly caught her.
He gave her a smirk. "Hey, watch where you're going!"
"Maybe you should watch where you put your legs," Gem shot back.
"Maybe I wanted it there."
"Well, then, maybe it shouldn't come as a shock when someone trips."
He frowned, opening his mouth to retort, before closing it and jogging off.
We headed out Jace and Gem's room, where we sat, discussing things.
Turns out, Jace and Gem were really against talking about their pasts, so we mainly discussed Lyoko.
Then it was more classes, and dinner.
Eva and Rose had materialized at our table, trying to get Hutch to talk to them.
"Come on, Hutch, eat with us!" Rose wheedled.
"Yeah," chirped Eva.
He gave a sigh, and I saw a quick look flash across his face that wasn't a cocky grin. It was gone before I could think more of it.
"Sorry, girls, maybe later," he said, his trademark grin sliding back on his face.
They pouted, sending the rest of us dirty looks as they strutted off.
"Idiots," I snorted.
.
The next day, things seemed to be going normal. At breakfast, the six of us sat down at our table.
"Everyone get a good night's sleep?" Ertugrul asked, as he sat down.
"Hell yeah, I slept like a rock!" I said. "Two X.A.N.A. attacks in a row will do that to you."
Jace frowned. "I fell asleep easy enough, but in the middle of the night, I had this really weird dream. It wasn't so much as bad, well, it was really sad. And intense. And really vivid. Then I woke up, at three in the morning, and couldn't get back to sleep."
We all sat, waiting for an elaboration on her story.
When none came, Lilly sighed. "And this dream was about…"
Jace's brow furrowed further. "That's another thing. I don't remember a single thing about it! It was so…" She shivered.
Just then the bell rang for classes to start, and everyone started filing out.
Ertugrul held up a hand to stop us. "Well, hope the rest of you got enough rest, 'cause X.A.N.A.'s just activated a tower!" he announced.
"Awesome!" Hutch exclaimed.
"Sweet!" Lilly said, grinning.
Jace sighed, shooting a tired glance at Gem, who grinned. "Sorry, Sleeping Beauty, you're gonna have to-"
She was cut off by an explosive sound. We all gasped, turning to the western wall of the cafeteria. An invisible shockwave seemed to be tearing up the ground.
"LOOK OUT!" Gem screamed.
Then it hit, and everything went dark.
.
Lilly's POV
I saw Ana go down, but it was all I could do to get the others behind cover, before the shockwave hit us.
Our cover, an overturned metal table, absorbed a lot of the hit, but we were still hit hard.
Oh super, I thought, picking myself up off the ground.
"Oh God, Ana?" Gem's voice came over.
Quickly I ran over, to see Ana. She looked like hell. Her hair had been ripped from its pigtails, and hung splayed out. Close to her scalp, it was all bloody.
Gem was scrambling for a pulse. "Find the others!" She snapped.
I opened my mouth to argue, but closed it realizing that, one: there wasn't any time to waste bickering, and two: I didn't have any better ideas.
"Hutch! Ertugrul! Jace!" I choked. The cafeteria looked like a bomb had hit. I heard one of the guys coughing.
"Ertugrul, you okay?" I asked, pulling aside the table that was half on top of him.
He groaned. "My leg is either really badly sprained, or broken."
"Can you walk? I mean, like, using something as a proxy crutch?"
"I you can find something," he said, wincing as he tried to move his leg.
"You're gonna have to do something about your leg," I commented.
"Yeah, I'll splint it," he mumbled, grabbing a nearby board, and fastening his leg to it with a strap. "Oh God, that kills!" He said.
I stared at him, one: not knowing how to help him, and two: debating whether I should stay with him, or go look for Hutch and Jace.
A scream splitting the air answered my question. "Be right back," I said, running off in the direction of the noise.
I found Jace, eyes wide, gasping for breath. By the lump on her head, it was obvious that she had just regained consciousness.
"Oh God, oh God," she whispered, clutching her hand and chest.
"What's wrong," I asked.
She just get whimpering.
"For God's sake, Jace, I can't help if you won't tell me what's wrong!"
"I'll help her, you find Hutch," Gem's voice floated up next to me.
I stepped back, as Gem turned to Jace. "Ana?"
"Alive and breathing, but she's in bad shape. Half her bones are broken, she's got a real bad concussion, and she's bleeding bad," Gem replied.
I nodded, hurrying off to find Hutch.
I ducked around a pile of rubbish, to nearly step on Hutch.
"Hey Lil," he said. "Help me out a bit? Did you hear Jace's scream?"
Sighing, I bent down to try and pick up what trapped his legs. Working together, the two of us were able to get it off, and he stood up.
He looked around. "What happened?"
"X.A.N.A.," I said back, as we made our way over to the others.
Gem waved us over to Jace's side. "'Kay, here's the rundown," she said, quickly. "Ana's out, and in the worse condition. Ertugrul's got a broken leg, but he's managed to splint it well enough that he can walk, if one of you finds him a proxy crutch, and helps him. Jace's got a broken wrist, and several broken ribs. It's important that's she's not moved much, but seeing as Ana's out, she's gonna have to go to Lyoko."
Jace gave a whimper at that.
"Sorry Jace," Gem said, frowning.
"Well, the sooner we get there, the better," Ertugrul called over. "The supercomputer translates injury into weakness and lifepoint loss. So you'll feel better there, anyway."
Gem nodded. "I'm staying here, to look after Ana. If X.A.N.A. makes another one of those, I want to be able to move her, and I want to keep an eye on her, just in case."
I nodded. Hutch bent down and gently picked up Jace, who cried out, wincing.
I found a disconnected table leg, handing it to Ertugrul, who picked it up, leaning heavily on it.
"Let's go," I said.
"Good luck," Gem said, watching us lumber off.
.
Gem's POV
I watched them go, frowning, before turning back to Ana.
The bump on her head signified quite a concussion, and I was immensely grateful that she wouldn't have to recover on her own. I set to work, splinting everything that was broken, and trying to staunch some of the heavy bleeding.
First aid was one of the things I knew back and forth. One had to, when they had my kind of experience. Broken bones, concussions, I had grown up with them.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Footsteps that made me freeze. Big heavy footsteps, that couldn't belong to a human.
I pulled Ana closer to me, when around the corner came what looked like a giant tarantula. The X.A.N.A. tarantula, not a spider.
The only difference was the fact that it was bigger and much meaner looking. That and the huge mouth like thing, that was in place of its normal, dog like muzzle. It opened, similar to a funnel.
It walked around heavily, as if it was tired, and I realized the huge mouth was probably what had caused the huge sonic blast.
It lurched around the corner, looking around for signs of life.
Then it turned to face me.
I froze.
It took half a step forward, before turning and lurching off.
I realized that it didn't have eyes. It could hear, but not see.
So I just stayed still, holding my breath, hoping that they deactivated the tower before that thing got the power to send another blast.
.
Lilly's POV
Slowly, we made our way to the factory. Once we got there, I heard a shriek.
"Oh God! Lilly, Ertugrul, Hutch, Jace! Thank God you're okay!"
I turned to look, but the voice was all too familiar to me.
Lucas limped over.
"I-I saw what happened. I-I w-was too far away to be badly hurt, but I-I saw…"
"What are you doing here?" I asked. "You should've stayed at the school, it would've been safer there."
As much as I didn't like him, one: he was clearly freaked out about the whole thing, and two: he was only some jerk from school.
He shook his head. "I can't go back! It'll happen again!"
"Lucas, you have to!"
"NO!"
"Lilly, we don't have time for this," Ertugrul said. "He can come to the factory, we'll just run a return trip."
Sighing, I dragged him into the elevator. He was shaking, and I felt a little bad for him.
Soon, we were in the scanners. Hutch and I were standing, Jace was crumpled in hers.
Lucas just stood in the scanner room, shaking, slumped against a wall.
Ertugrul's voice came over, as the scanners closed.
"Virtualization!"
.
Ertugrul's POV
"Okay guys, how're you faring?"
"Better," Jace said, quietly. "Still feel weak, but at least it doesn't hurt to breath."
"Good. But be careful. Lilly and Hutch, you two are the only ones with full lifepoints. Jace is at half. So watch it."
As they started off, they instantly ran into several hornets. "Guys, watch out!"
Lilly's ray gun took out one, and Hutch stabbed one through the eye of X.A.N.A., before receiving a rain of lasers.
"Watch out!" I called, before something happened. The screen showed that I lost contact. "Guys?"
I tried to fix it, but I just knew that they were taking a beating from the hornets.
Suddenly, I heard the elevator.
Lucas limped in. "Look, I don't know what's going on, but Hutch just appeared in the cylinder thing, saying something about a X.A.N.A."
"'Kay. Thanks, Lucas." I grabbed my crutch and lurched toward the elevator, hitting the down button.
As it closed, I saw Lucas watch me. The door was nearly shut, before I saw a grin spread across his face.
.
Jace's POV
Hutch dived to the ground as a flurry of shots rained down.
"Watch out!" Ertugrul called.
Hutch leapt away, before slicing back, taking out another one, before being hit.
"Ouch!" He yelled, stumbling back. "Uh, Ertugrul? Why do the shots hurt all the sudden?"
"Oof," Lilly, gasped, receiving a blast. "Hey, what's going on?"
We were met with silence.
.
Lucas's POV
The elevator shut, and I quickly locked it. The elevator program had been brought up, and it was easy to hack.
After that was taken care of, I quickly typed a message.
The scanners are off-line, and the supercomputer operator is trapped in the elevator. Ro is trying to find the other two, to lead the sonic tarantula to it. What are my orders?
The message came back soon.
Good. Proceed to drain the lifepoints of the warriors on Lyoko. Once their lifepoints are gone, they'll be deleted permanently.
I took a deep breath, steadying myself. "They had it coming," I whispered to myself. Taking another deep breath, I wrote my response.
As you wish, X.A.N.A.
Okay, so tell me what you think! To all of you who have OCs, give me feedback on how I'm portraying them. PM or review anything that would help me write them better, or any information that I may not know! And, again, review if you want me to connect the OC info on the next chapter, to make it easier to read!
