A/N: I will try to update weekly, but the Odd's are that it'll be bi-weekly, Sincerely your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

X.A.N.A POV

The creepers moved through the school systematically, first the gymnasium, then the cafeteria, then the science block, then the dorms; they had just finished the cafeteria when they saw two of their targets, Odd Della Robia and Ulrich Stern.

XAVIER POV

"What the hell are those things!?" I asked Jeremie, because he definitely had something to do with it.

"I'll tell you later, come on!" Jeremie grabbed my arm, with a grip surprising strong, and dragged me down the halls, to the staircase.

"Run, it's me they're after, if you see my friends and tell them to get to you-know-where." He started to run toward the other staircase.

I grabbed his arm. "If they're after you, I'll have to protect you. Simple as that. Now, where the hell is Della Robia?" Xavier pulled out his mobile and rung his friend.

"Kinda busy, could you call back later." Odd answered, panting.

"I'm with Jeremie, he says to head to you-know-where. We'll meet you there." Xavier and Jeremie stopped in their tracks because there was a Creeper crawling up the stairs.

ODD POV

I was hiding behind a pillar with Ulrich, just outside the dorms. There were two Creepers shooting at us, which were attracting more of them. 'I just got a call from Xavier and Jeremie, they're alright and they're headed for the factory." I whispered to Ulrich.

"That's great, just great. Where's Aelita? We can't deactivate the tower without her." Ulrich was NOT in a good mood.

"No idea, I'll call her." I pulled out my phone, again. "No answer."

"What about Yumi?"

"You have a phone, don't you?" I asked sarcastically.

"A Creeper blew it up."

"Oh, I'll call her then." I dialled Yumi's number. "Again, no answer. I hope that nothing happened to them."

My phone rang, it was Xavier. "What?" I practically shouted at him.

"Aelita's room's been trashed." He said in a solemn tone.

YUMI

I ran. I was running so hard that I barely felt my slippered feet touch the ground. The Creepers were surprisingly fast, but not very agile. A few quick twists and turns saw the last of them. "Now to head for the factory." I reached for my mobile, then realised that I left it at home. "Oh well, looks like I'll have to call them when I get there." I took off.

XAVIER

After I had kicked the Creeper's head clean off, we ran up the stairs to Aelita's room, but the door was at the other end of the corridor and her bookshelf was nothing but matchsticks on the floor outside, with its contents scattered around it.

"Where is she? I hope she's alright." Jeremie was muttering.

"Hey, isn't that her?" I pointed to a pink-haired girl sprinting into the forest being chased by two Creepers.

"C'mon!" Jeremie was already half-way down the hall...
