Yumi reacted at Ulrich call and put up her Ice Aura which surrounded her body like a crystal colored mist.
Ulrich followed suit by activating his leaf aura which look like small pieces of grass and leaves floating around in a wind.
A red sphere of energy hit them and the damage was absorbed by the auras which were at full power even through they had low lifepoints but both cried out and flinched as a secondary effect of paralyzation affected them
"Ulrich" "Yumi" was the group worried call
Yumi grunted and said in a strained voice due to paralyzation "What was that?"
Ulrich grunted and said "Some sort of energy blast… I just saw that punk fire it!" He wanted to point but couldn't move his body
Clip walked over and said "What punk?"
Ulrich said "black hair, blue eyes, twin sabers, and silver outfit."
Clip looked and saw the guy who was standing in the road away from the crowd with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face because his attack didn't do what he wanted it to do however you can see that his hand was surging with leftover energy.
Clip turned mad "Hey Rogue!" He shouted "You know there are things called fair fights here explain yourself"
The guy didn't answer just glared at Clip
Clip said "What the matter virus got your tongue?
The guy spoke but it was in viral code "You could say that"
Clip blinked and stepped back slightly "Watch it people I think this guy infected"
The guy smirked "Now die!" He shot at Clip with murder in his eyes and his swords out in a stabbing pose.
Clip pulled out a large shield and said "Multiply!" and several clones of him appeared
The guy went for the stab at his original target but went right though and the clones vanished. This made the guy hesitate for a second in confusion
The real Clip was two clones to the guy's left and he came around and slammed the shield right in the back of the guy head.
The guy grunted and was sent forward but caught himself and flipped "*beep* Now you'll get it old man" He said
Clip said "Old man huh I'll have you know boy you're talking to an Ex-Agent I still all my moves up my sleeves."
The guy turned sharply and slashed at Clip who blocked it easily with his shield
Clip said "Right you obviously don't know the first thing about fighting against Passive Style opponents.
The guy swiped at Clip who blocked it again and they continued to battle
Odd nudged Jeremy slightly and said "Passive Style?"
Jeremy said "In direct battle here there are three fighting styles, Aggressive, Passive, and Balanced. Aggressive is where the user uses attacks to overwhelm an opponent with fast and powerful moves. Passive is where the user waits for the opponent to make a move and then counter them when the opponent guard is down and balanced combines the two.
Kat said "So Clip Passive Style while this other guy Aggressive Style"
Jeremy said "Yep I would guess so"
Ulrich and Yumi recovered from the last attack and quickly went to the group
Crystal went to Ulrich and Yumi "Here take these quickly" and handed them a pair of small green crystal like pills.
Both did so and restored some of their lifepoints
Crystal said "I don't know who that guy is but I got the oddest feeling he's wants to delete ya all"
Liz said "What for?"
Crystal said "Don't know but you guys should get inside while he's distracted by my dad."
Kat said "Some rogue ain't going to scare us off that easily. He doesn't look that tough."
Jeremy said "appearances can be deceiving Kat besides Clip is holding him off fine"
Kat said "Yeah Yeah whatever." She pulled out her ribbon bow waiting for the right moment to step in
The guy and Clip continued to battle Clip holding his defense so well that the guy was getting frustrated being unable to land a hit.
The guy growled "why do you have to be so dam tough."
"Why do you have to be so stupid to get into a fight you can't win." Clip countered
"I'm a Lyokoian, it's my duty to take down every single person who sides with XANA." The guy stated
Clip said "Sides with XANA now look here punk I don't side with XANA at all."
"Then why you defend those who do?" the guy growled
Clip said "Last I checked the Lyoko Warriors don't side with XANA, Ulrich and Yumi have expressed they are against XANA"
"They lied. All Lyoko Warriors are on the side of XANA" The guy stated fastly
Clip said "You're wrong about that I'm sure of it."
"I'm never wrong!" The guy roared as he slashed rapidly
Clip blocked the attacks with his shield but he was feeling the strain of defending.
The guy said "I'll finish you!" He charged up and raised his swords over his head and the sword glowed with energy.
All of a sudden a long chain snagged both the swords and pulled them out of the guys hands
The guy said "What the"
The chain flew back with the swords and both of them landed in front of a green armored girl with a large gun shaped sword across her back or in other words Takara and boy was she pissed
Clip looked and said "My thanks to you miss for the assist"
Takara said "Oh don't mention it. I was wondering where this little twerp ran off too. I can see into a fight he shouldn't have started."
The guy tried to explain himself to Takara "But Takara he..."
Takara said "Save it Jeffery you're coming home with me" She snapped her fingers and a gloved hand grabbed Jeffery by the ear and gave a hard yank dragging him back toward Takara
Jeffery cried out in pain during this and when he got to Takara she said "Sorry for the trouble he caused" and both vanished to bits as they logged out
Everyone was silent for a moment but Odd broke the silence "Well uh that was well Odd."
Jason shook his head with a confused look and said "You said it Odd…"
Kat laughed "I hope that punk get what good for him. No one messes with the Lyoko Warriors and gets away with it."
Jeremy sighed at Kat comment "Anyhow I think it's time we do some training back on Lyoko before we make our first attack against XANA."
Kat said "Oh come on Jeremy I've still got to train on my dance slippers."
Jeremy said "You can do that some other time we most likely won't need that move for the site.
Kat said "Anything possible XANA could make the security twice as tough or maybe Xanatos will put it upon himself to guard the tower for his father."
Jeremy said "I've already thought about that and the person who needs to worry about it is Aelita and trust me I have a plan.
Aelita said "I'm sure everything will go fine Kat."
Jose said "I'd be careful Murphy been lurking about lately"
Liz said "Who's Murphy?
Clair said "Ever heard of Murphy's Law"
Yumi said "I don't think so."
Clip said "See if you plan something there this effect called Murphy's Law anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible time and if you rush into things Murphy tends to pop up and smack ya a good one by throwing in a new twist making you fail a mission and I hate to see you guys lose that bet fifteen thousand Zenny is a lot of money to lose."
Ulrich said "There's an actual guy named Murphy that does that to people?"
Clip said "You didn't hear it from me but some say it's Guide who does it when people don't follow his advice and he is that type of fellow"
A laugh seemed to echo over the area
Kat eyes narrowed "Don't laugh to loud Guide" She said "I could whip you to next week if I wanted to if you started messing with us"
"Hate to tell ya player but I'm invincible you can't hurt me but don't worry everything going according to plan so Murphy shouldn't pop up"
Jeremy said "That's the key word shouldn't but now I think I'll think up a back up plan just in case."
"I like the way you think Jeremy just remember to use common sense."
Jeremy said "I'll do that."
"Good…"
Back on Lyoko Jeremy and most of the group logged out but Aelita stayed in due to the fact she was going to be training. The area for her training was the Mountain Sector due to the fact that it was narrow
"Alright Aelita here's how the training going to work," Jeremy voice rang out "I've activated a tower North by North West about 500 yards away from your position. Your mission is to get into that tower and deactivate it without being spotted by the patrolling monsters. Try to go as fast as you can but remember your Shadow Band only works for 30 seconds per activation and if you're spotted by the monsters you will be sent back to your starting position or to a checkpoint if you pass it."
Aelita said "Alright Jeremy."
"On my mark you may start" Jeremy said
Aelita said "Ready."
"Mark!" Jeremy called
Aelita took off going though the training course. She used the rocks formations and caves to hide behind when she saw monsters and used the Shadow Band to sneak past them. She got past all the different types of monsters however she had to use a little strategy and timing to get past a patrolling Tarantula and a Megatank that were guarding a small path that lead up to the tower area. Aelita used the Shadow Band and the hover ability to stealthfully float over the two monsters and landed with a soft thump behind a rock on the other side. The Tarantula looked in that direction hearing the sound but when nothing came out it went back to patrolling. Aelita took that moment to head into the tower area but she soon discovered a hidden trick that Jeremy put in and dove behind a rock that was nearby.
"Jeremy" she whispered "Why is William guarding the tower?"
Near the tower William was standing there in his dark version costume. In truth it was just a data copy that Jeremy had setup for the test
"I see you noticed my Final test Aelita" Jeremy responded "Kat gave me a good idea when she said that Xanatos might take it upon himself to guard the tower. So I thought someone with similar skills could be guarding the tower. All you got to do is sneak past him but don't get to close he will be able to hear you when you move.
Aelita said "Alright…" She activated her Shadow Band and slowly snuck past William and entered into the tower.
A few second later the tower was deactivated.
"Not bad Aelita." Jeremy spoke "No sight detections, No physical detections and one sound detection but dismissed, and a time of 8 minutes. I say that's pretty good.
Aelita came out of the tower and said "Should I try to do it faster? We have to do it in Six minutes for the same amount of distance."
"True" Jeremy responded "but the security most likely won't be as difficult to get though as I set it up and a site is setup differently then what I can create here. This was just practice for using your Shadow Band."
"So Jeremy" Ulrich said "when are we going to take down the first XANA site?"
"Sometime this week" Jeremy responded "I know I got a test in my mathematics class tomorrow and I'm sure the rest of us have homework to do. We'll discuss more on that later"
"But homework boring Jeremy" Kat whined "I want to back to the Arcade."
Jeremy said "But you still got to do it Kat. Otherwise I may not let you go to Clip's Arcade anymore if I notice your grades falling."
"That's not fair" Kat whined
Jeremy looked at Kat with a death glare "My supercomputer, my rules, got it." He was starting to get ticked about Kat whining
Kat turned sour and made a face "Where's a rulebreaker card when you need one?"
Odd laughed at Kat wish
Aelita said "I think those only work for Databattles"
Kat was still sour "They should work for real…"
Jeremy said "Speaking of which everyone but Ulrich has a potion card with them. It should do for this round and I have the Data Doc with me in case we need an emergency healing during a databattle and I'm sure we'll run into at least one"
Liz spoke up "Clip said he's sells rulebreaker cards right maybe we should have bought some more."
Jeremy said "Let's wait until we win that bet before we buy anything else"
Yumi said "So how are we going to split the cash if we win."
Jeremy said "I was thinking 3000 for me, 3000 for Aelita so that we have our regular amounts back then split the rest evenly for the rest of ya which should come out to 1800 a piece.
Kat said "What's that in Euros?"
Jeremy said "13.5 if the exchange rates are the same as Guide told us earlier… if you didn't know the dollar to Euro fluctuates that why I think we should keep our two accounts separate one for real world the other for the virtual world."
Ulrich said "So if we become millionaires in the virtual world we can't transfer that money to the real world…"
Jeremy said "we could but remember people may ask questions on how kids like us suddenly get thousands of Euros transferred into their bank accounts."
Yumi said "You got a point Jeremy… although I got the oddest feeling the Chosen One already has done that."
Jeremy said "Kevin an adult remember… he can improvise excuses we can't…"
Kat said "They say kids have all the fun but adults get all the freedom. I want both!
Jeremy sighed "Anyway we should get back to school we completed our mission for today…"
Kat said "Maybe I'll go play some Present Hero hopefully my dance pad can be hooked up." She ran out quickly forgotting about the Internet
Odd said "That's my cousin for you… easily entertained just like a cat or a fox." He sighed followed by the rest of the group.
