That evening the group decided to meet up to discuss when they would tackle the first XANA site everyone was confident that they could do it as soon as possible so Jeremy set the mission for the day after the next or two day from then.
"Alright guys" Jeremy said as he stood in front of the tower after inserting the black key into the tower "With this key we should have a direct link to the first XANA site."
Yumi said "So what should we expect Einstein should we expect a danger zone"
Jeremy said "I don't think so… from what Kevin said the site should be somewhat like Google it's fully functioning just under XANA control so we should go in cool not wild or anything like that."
Ulrich said "That might be hard… Kat sees an arcade she may just go wild…"
Kat glared at him "Hey are you saying I can't control myself when I see a DDR pad"
Ulrich looked away out of spite and said "You said it not me…"
Aelita giggled while Kat growled followed by Strawberry who was around her shoulders
Jeremy sighed "What I'm trying to say is don't make yourselves stand out unless you're forced into a battle so watch what you say to make sure you don't piss someone off"
Odd said "in other words, keep ya mouth shut Kat."
Kat made a ticked off face "What is with everyone and picking on me today."
Jeremy said "I think what Ulrich and Odd are trying to do is point out the fact that you tend to not look before you leap and not think before you speak and I agree with them."
Kat said "Oh come on… I ain't that bad am I?"
Liz said "You are Kat. You should take it a little more serious some of this isn't just a game."
"How much more serious?" Kat whined
Aelita said "Just enough so that you understand your actions can affect this mission."
Kat said "Oh alright… I'll try to behave… but if someone insults me first I'll whip them to next week."
Jeremy said "That's fine with me Kat but if you start it and we fail to win the bet. I know who to blame…"
Kat said "Fine with me, did you modify my profile like I requested of you."
Jeremy said "That I did… I switched your Whip attack with Dance Arrows and I also equipped the lightning orb to you. You now have a lightning bracelet to use electrical abilties like Zap and Static Boost.
Kat said "What does Static Boost do for a databattle?"
Jeremy said "It warps you up to 3 squares away from your current position allowing you to move up to seven spaces if you use all your move rate and then Static Boost."
Kat said "hmm… give me that move instead of block."
Jeremy said "Alright." He made the switch on the profile "Anything else."
Kat said "Nope… unless Strawberry got any other moves I should know about."
Jeremy said "All I got here is that Strawberry Databattle Moves can't be switched but can be upgraded…"
Kat said "What do you mean?"
Jeremy said "As Strawberry gains levels outside of a databattle her databattle moves stay the same but increase in power or range sometimes changing names. The profile says she falls under the same category as a virus or basic program."
Kat said "huh… So she stuck the same as she is now"
Jeremy said "Afraid so…"
Strawberry growled in disappointment
Kat said "Oh well. Come on let's get this mission started"
Jeremy said "Portal Open!"
A black portal opened.
Jeremy said "Let's go!"
All entered into the portal and shot out into a city with a red tinted sky and started walking toward the center of the site
"uh…" Yumi said "just being here makes me feel like XANA watching us. This whole site's giving me the creeps."
Ulrich said "what the matter Yumi don't like the red sky?"
Yumi said "No I don't… it's signals trouble."
Liz noticed something "And it looks like we got some coming our way."
Several rogues armed with various weapons like clubs and guns were walking towards the Lyoko Warriors.
Aelita said "Must be a welcoming committee."
"Let's just keep walking." Jeremy commanded
Strawberry growled
A rogue said "Hey look at those punks man wonder why they're giving us the eye."
Another rouge said "because they want trouble that why… why don't we give them some?"
The other rogues laughed and purposely got in the way of the Warriors
Jeremy sighed "You mind we're walking here"
The rogue said "Yeah well you're walking though our turf, so unless you want trouble clear out."
Jeremy said "and if we don't."
The rogue said "Then we'll force you out."
Jeremy sighed "Alright… have it your way." He used Magnet Bolt and punched the rogue in the gut causing the rouge to kneel over and grunt then followed up by a kick to the side of the head
The rouge fell to the ground stunned
The warriors and rouges just stared at this seemly quick combination.
Jeremy said calmly "Anybody else"
The other rogue said "Don't just stand there take him out."
Two rouges charged at Jeremy and Jeremy used Static Boost to double jump over them causing them to crash into each other.
Kat laughed and said "save some for me Jeremy" She pulled out her bow and engaged a rogue in battle
The rest of the group engaged the rogues quickly defeating them.
"Let's beat it." Said one of the rouges as they all ran off.
"And don't come back" Kat called
Ulrich said "Jeremy I thought you said to keep it cool."
Jeremy said "I should have said if they don't interfere with the mission. I told the guy to move but he wouldn't."
Odd said "Well if XANA didn't know we were here he does now I'm sure of it."
Jeremy said "Well let's continue on."
Liz said "You think we could use the vehicles Jeremy. I don't know how far the center of this site is
Jeremy said "Might as well. I'll download them."
The group's vehicles appeared and each boarded one except for Aelita who took flight using her wings.
Watching the group go was another rogue he had seen everything in the battle. He pulled out a cell phone and dialed it and when the other side answer he went "It's me… I just saw them… They're at Site 09 West Side full force including that Angel Girl you told me about… yep… heading toward the core like you predicted… right I'll tell the others not to mess with them that you got it covered."
