The group made it to the building and entered into it. It was lightly furnished one room with a bed a table and a few chairs
Kat sighed and instantly flopped on the bed "Finally a place to rest…"
Strawberry squeaked and jumped onto Kat stomach and curled up
Odd took a seat at a chair and checked his tail… "No bite marks for now but I hate to get into another pack of pups."
Ulrich kept watch by leaning on the door and looking outside "Hope we aren't barging into someone place…" He looked around watching carefully "hate to see how programs react to intruders."
Jeremy said "We already seen that effect Ulrich…" He sat down on a chair next to the table. "They aim to kill…"
Yumi nodded leaning on the wall next to Ulrich with her arms crossed "and you were right Jeremy; the security programs were tougher then in a databattle but haven't you noticed that this place seem abandoned except for the security programs."
Liz nodded and sat down on a chair "Maybe this area isn't used during the day it could be like the dorms at school. Everyone out doing something…"
Kat said "Well if the security doesn't bother us for a couple hours I'll be happy" she yawned and snuggled into the bed
Odd groaned "Now not the time to fall asleep Coz"
"But I'm tried Odd" Kat whined "That watchman took all my lifepoints out of me…"
Strawberry growled in a ticked off manner
"That not true Kat and you know it, but anyhow Aelita you can start the recovering anytime now." Jeremy said as he pulled up the screen to monitor people lifepoints
Aelita nodded and sung a melody in a low voice…
Everyone relaxed and their lifepoints started restoring. However they all failed to notice a small camera in the corner of the room watching them
The footage was being transmitted to a console where a Sentinel was looking at it but this Sentinel looked a little different. Instead of a serious demeanor the Sentinel had it's hand scratching it chin while thinking an action he had picked up from interacting with Agent KC… "So these are the Lyoko Warriors…" He thought outloud as he zoomed the camera on each one "KC told me they are interesting for humans and they are children no less… Each one acts a little differently" He zoomed onto Kat and Odd "from the whiners" he panned to Ulrich and Yumi "To the serious watchers" He panned to Jeremy and Aelita "To the ones who are leaders. Hmm" He started thinking "I'll wait until they have finished recovering then launch attack sequence Theme Blast…" He gained a bit of a grin… "I'm going to have fun with this…"
About an hour passed and everyone was recovered and continued on… Kat had to rudely awakened which she made too plainly clear to Odd that she hated it by siccing Strawberry on him
Odd was still clutching his face where Strawberry had clawed him with fury swipes "ow…"
Strawberry growled around Kat neck
Kat said "Told ya you regret waking me up"
The rest of the group gave a unanimous sigh.
Jeremy said "Come on we got to make it to SMART HQ…"
As they continued on there was still no security until…
Author Note: Song used is known as Harder Better Faster Stronger Alive 2007 Radio Mix. You can find it on Youtube easily
"Television" sounded a metallic base voice
The group froze at this
Liz said with nervousness "Jeremy… what was that?"
Jeremy blinked and said "I don't know"
The voice sounded again "Rules the Nation"
Another voice with a higher pitch chimed in "Around the World…"
Yumi looked around for the source with her fans out "There it is again…"
Ulrich nodded "Sounded like two voices this time… I think we got company…" He pulled out his swords
The metal base voice sounded "Television…"
Odd said "Television?"
Kat said "wait I think I've heard this before…"
The Metal base sounded "Rules the Nation"
The Building started surging with red siren lights as electronic music played a siren rhythm from speakers mounted on top of them
Kat said proudly "Daft Punk's Alive 2007 version of Harder Better Faster Stronger knew I've heard this before"
Odd said "Forgot the song we do got company!"
Seven Wardens being led by a Single Sentinel were advancing at them marching to the beat
Jeremy said "It's a group of Wardens be careful"
The Wardens stopped as the Sentinel pointed in various directions
"Work it, Make it, Do it Make us… Harder Better Faster Stronger"
"More then, Hour, Our, Never… Ever, After, Work is, Over"
The Warden separated and marched in a sequence as several Watchman and Sensor appeared on the buildings and behind the group and were moving to the beat
The Wardens marched up to the group and marched in formation and surrounded the group in a ring
"Our work is never over…"
The song finished and all the programs were in position to attack
The Group went back to back not quite sure how to attack.
Ulrich said "Any ideas Jeremy… They got us surrounded by Wardens… and there are Sensors and Watchman backing them up…"
Jeremy said "The guide said 'To take the Warden one on one is not recommended unless you are strong team attacks are the way to go and the only real way to get them is using Guard just before they hit you with an attack. The guard attack will knock their attack back and daze them… but even if we could daze them those Sensors and Watchmen are armed to the eyes with lasers…
Odd said "I got the oddest feeling that we bit off more then we could chew Einstein…"
Kat said "That would be a first for you Coz."
Aelita said "We've been in tight jams before we can get out of this one too…
"You got such confidence Aelita" Sound a voice that sounded strangely similar to the metallic base voice from the song "what makes you think that you can break out of a SMART Trap…"
The two frontal wardens parted and the Sentinel walked toward the group.
Kat said "Hey did that Sentinel just talk like a human?"
The Sentinel said "That is correct Kathleen and if you wondering how I know your names it because you and your friends have been the interest of the SMART Agency for a while now…"
Jeremy said "Are you an Agent"
The Sentinel said "Unofficially yes… my specialty just happens to be in the security department. Allow me to introduce myself… I am Sentinel Omega. The only Omega Version of the Sentinel Program
The Group said "Sentinel Omega!"
Jeremy said "Oh I should have figured you control the security systems for the SMART Agency to prevent non agents from accessing the main headquarters…"
Sentinel said "That is correct and any intruders will be subjected to immediate arrest and transference to our prison site for hacking a government site… those are my orders however" He paused and gained a playful grin on his face "KC has pulled rank and suggested I test you Lyoko Warriors to see if paying for your lessons was a waste of his Zenny…"
Odd said "Test us you mean like in a databattle"
Sentinel said "The Seven Wardens in front of you are all Warden+ a Level 2 version of the Warden... Slightly Tougher and Faster then their previous version counterparts they most likely can eliminate you within 3 turns if they don't and you survive those databattles you will be teleported to my board where you can face me in a databattle. If one of you manages to finish me off or grab the file I'm guarding then you win and access to the HQ will be yours lose and my orders go into effect"
Jeremy said "and if we don't accept the challenge…"
Sentinel said "Then don't expect to ever return to the real world… This site is now under lockdown you can not escape... Go ahead see if you can log out"
Jeremy pulled up a screen and attempted to log everyone out… but an error came up of no connection to home site.
Jeremy said "I see… You've cut our connection…"
Sentinel said "That is correct and if you run out of lifepoints well let just say my favorite dish happens to be bit stew and fresh crushed intruders of any type adds a certain flavor to it."
Liz shuttered a little "Jeremy I don't like the look of this…"
Ulrich growled "Neither do I Liz…"
Sentinel said "So as the system responds when you're hacking into it … Warning the Site you're attempting to access is under the property of the SMART Agency any attempts of hacking will result in deletion of all intruding programs…" He paused to add a death battle feel to the air "Prepare for deletion!"
