Breaking the Curse

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Lion laughed in his chair. "So wait wait wait! You two are Pink's spies and you didn't even know that Hiroki and Johnny were Lion Warriors too? AND you're Lion Warriors? THAT'S RICH!" Everyone stared at the laughing man in confusion.

"I'm surprised, Lion. Usually, you would be mad at something like this," Sissi said.

"I would, but this is the funniest thing that Pink has ever done to me. Lovers that are on the opposite sides? It's the perfect tragic love story. I'm just laughing that it actually happened," Lion said still laughing.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Hiroki asked hurt a little, but he hid it by his anger. Milly looked shamefully at the ground.

"We didn't know, Hiroki. We didn't know that you were one of the Lion Warriors. If we did, I would have told you," Milly said.

"True. To be honest, Hiroki, I don't know why you're upset. We didn't know, they didn't know, and probably the only person that knew was Pink. It's not their fault," Johnny said defending to two girls. Hiroki shook his head and stormed out the room. Milly sadly sighed.

"I'll talk to him," Milly said going out the door.

"So this is why you two don't like me," Lion realized.

"We do like you. We were just cautious of you. We knew that we were suppose to be spying you," Tamiya explained.

"So when did you become spies for Pink?" Johnny asked.

"Well, it was actually the day that you and I bumped into each other and you and Yumi made the bet," Tamiya said. Everyone chuckled.

"DOES EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THE BET?!" Yumi shouted.

"Calm down. Anyways, what do we do now?" Tamiya asked.

"To be honest, we don't know why you're spying up. We already have the dog ratting us out," Lion mentioned.

"Hey!" Kiwi said undignified.

"Anyways, what are you planning to do now?" Tamiya asked. Lion stood up from his chair.

"Well, it is tomorrow. It's time to destroy the Volcano Sector," Lion said seriously.

"Do you think we're ready?" Jeremy asked. Aelita held his hand.

"I am," She said.

"I am," Odd said pumping his fist into the air.

"We are," Sissi, William, Yumi, and Ulrich said.

"The dog is ready," Kiwi stated.

"I'm ready," Johnny said holding Tamiya's hand. She smiled.

"Good. Now we're going to wait for Hiroki. I hope that Milly can work her magic," Lion said hopefully.

Hiroki sat outside on the bench looking angrily at the ground. "If you keep staring like that, the ground will burn," Milly said coming behind him.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know," Milly answered. Hiroki sighed. "There's another reason why you're bummed out. What is it?"

"For the first time, I found someone normal. Someone I could relax with and have a good time with. Now I learn that she's in the same rut as I am," Hiroki replied.

"So you're upset that I'm not normal?"

"No, I'm upset that the time with the person I care about is going to be mainly about my job," Hiroki said hanging his head.

"Hey, think about it. If I were actually normal, don't you thin I would wonder where you were going everywhere? It would be more harm to me than you," Milly pointed out. Hiroki sighed. She did have a point. "I'm sorry Hiroki."

"No, I'm sorry. We both didn't know. It's alright," Hiroki said calmly. Milly smiled as she kissed him on the cheek. Hiroki blushed. Just then Lion came.

"So are you doing better?" He asked. They both stood up and Hiroki rubbed the back of his neck.

"Yeah, I'm better. What did you guys talk about while I was gone?" Hiroki asked.

"We're going to destroy the Volcano Sector today," Lion said seriously. Hiroki and Milly gasped, "It will be extremely dangerous and we need all hands on deck in order for it to work. Are you ready?" Hiroki looked at Milly's smile.

"Hey, we're Lion Warriors. We're ALWAYS ready," He said confidently. Lion smirked.

"Then let's go," Lion said as the two raced away. Hiroki stopped short and ran back and kissed Milly on the lips.

"For if I don't come back," Hiroki said. Then Milly then kissed him too.

"For WHEN you come back," Milly corrected him. Hiroki smiled as he ran off with Lion.

"It's time to finally break this curse," Lion muttered to himself. They got to the factory and were warped to Lyoko.

"Alright," Kiwi announced. "We need to activate a tower to start the whole thing. We'll have to not say much over the mission. I don't want Platon to hear any of this."

"We got it," Odd said. "Lyoko team to the tower and Lion team to the destination spot?"

"You got it," Kiwi replied.

"Let's go," Ulrich said as they zoomed across the Desert Sector. There they saw that the tower. Within moments of arriving, monsters came up behind them. Green tanks and krabs, and Volkanoids. "Kiwi, why are there so many monsters here?"

"Platon must be wondering why we need this tower," Kiwi guessed.

"That would explain why he's attacking us in the Digital Sea!" Lion exclaimed dodging a monger in his navskid. He armed his weapons and fired the torpedo blowing up the monger. "Okay, now let's get into this sector." The Navskids merged to the Skid and entered the Volcano Sector.

"You guys are going have to wait until the guys activate the tower. We can't do much with out it," Kiwi mentioned.

"We''ve activated it!" Aelita replied. Kiwi was surprised.

"How? There are still monsters there," he asked.

"Well, the others are taking care of them, so hurry!" Aelita exclaimed.

"Alright guys. I'll materialize your vehicles. The tower isn't that far away, but it's guarded down. And hurry! You're on a bit of a time limit here," Kiwi explained.

"Got you," Lion said as they dashed off.

"Xavier, get in your tower and get ready for the program," Kiwi instructed.

"Okay," Xavier said.

"YEEAAAAHH!" Odd exclaimed as he shot down the last monster, "Good. Now, we just wait for the others. I hope they can do it." Meanwhile, Lion was burning Kankerlots and Hornets while Sissi pushed down the Kolossuses.

"SISSI! GET IN THE TOWER! WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE OTHERS!" Hiroki shouted.

"But,"

"Just GO!" He exclaimed. Sissi shrank down and slid into the tower while the others protected it. Kiwi pressed the monitors and high speed.

"I hope this work. Ready?" Kiwi asked Sissi.

"Ready," Sissi said. She placed her hand on the panel and...
