"Yeah!" Shouted Odd as he leapt into the air and landed on a krab "Laser Arrows" His Arrows hit and made the Krab shatter.
Yumi used Icy Wind and flash froze several monsters which included Bloks, and Kankrelats which Ulrich took the pleasure of shattering with his swords
Kat was dodging laser blasts from a Tarantula using speedy side steps and whacked the Tarantula on the symbol causing it to shatter.
Liz and Jeremy were using their elemental attacks to shoot down Hornets and Kankrelats.
Xanatos was watching the battle from his screen he grinned slightly and said "In a group they aren't that bad but get them alone and they'll be picked off one by one… now it's time to put my plan into action. He typed on the console activating a security sequence he had designed.
Meanwhile Aelita was using her stealth skills to go up a street stopping inside a shaded alleyway to reactivate her cloak powers. With all the security being focused on the other warriors she was for the most part clear. A few monsters passed by her on their way to the warriors but with her being invisible they didn't pay any attention. She was about halfway through the street.
The group had just finished the last of the monsters. It was then that Xanatos secret plan came into play. The ground started shaking and rumbling was heard as several Megatank rolled in front of the group and behind the group
Odd said "Megatanks!"
Kat said "Duh… we know that Coz"
Jeremy said "Wait a second this can't be right… This is supposed to be a level one site Megatanks on the field are classified as level 2 by the Agency!"
Yumi said "XANA cheats remember Jeremy."
A loud screech was heard as three mantas flew in.
Liz said "What are those?"
Jeremy said "Mantas! Those are level 2 as well!"
The mantas flew overhead releasing a ton of bombs like planes doing a bomb run.
Jeremy said "Scatter!"
Everyone went different directions by going down various side alleys but quickly ran into a dead end. A Megatank rolled in blocking the only exit. Each of the group was cornered.
Xanatos laughed with glee as he had close ups of everyone face which had fear on them "My plan worked now those Warriors won't have any chance of winning that bet now all I got to do is hold them there until the clock on their mission runs out… and I'll be 7500 zenny richer…" He looked again but then noticed something he only had six warriors in his trap… "Wait a second… one, two, three, four, five, six…" His eyes narrowed as he realized who was missing… "Why those little punks Aelita must have split off to run the site alone while they distract the security… No matter it won't work…" He pressed the comm. button. "All non assigned units spread out and search for Aelita." Xanatos commanded
Jeremy said "Xanatos!"
The entire group looked up
Xanatos chuckled "What's up Jeremy hacking around lately"
Jeremy said "Yeah we are, I knew you be here. XANA must have assigned you here."
Xanatos said "I came here on my own free will… My Father just suggested I would get half the bet if I did work the site. I just had to figure out which site you would try…"
Jeremy said "So is this trap yours or XANA's idea"
Xanatos said "Mine… and it a near perfect trap all I got to do now is delete Aelita and the bet is as good as won."
Jeremy said "So you think Aelita won't be found she's a master of stealth."
Xanatos said "right sure she is…"
A beep came from his console and he said "Report."
A couple of Tarantula grunts came over the speakers
Xanatos growled "What do you mean you can't find her… she's here somewhere she was in the databattle."
Kat grinned and said "having trouble Xanatos, Aelita too slick for you?"
Xanatos said "Shut it Fox Girl or I'll tell that Megatank cornering you in to blast you.
Kat said "Make me Sandy Toes" borrowing the name Takara gave him and then pulled her eyelid down and stuck her tongue out
Xanatos growled "Megatank 4 target and blast cornered cat and her pet rat."
Kat said "Alright girl ready…"
Strawberry squeaked.
The Megatank opened
Kat said "Quick Attack!"
Strawberry rocketed off of Kat shoulder and slammed into the Eye target.
The Megatank exploded to bits
Kat ran out laughing and said "Don't ever mess with the master… She exited out of her alleyway and ran toward the tower direction and then screamed and ran back as the three Mantas from before chased after her shooting lasers.
Jeremy said "Alright we wasted enough time. He charged electricity into his gloves… Force Repluse! He held up his hands and shot off the repulsing magnetic force and move the Megatank backward by walking toward The Megatank tried to speed roll against the force but couldn't. Jeremy slowly pushed it out to the center walked around it switching his force to attraction the Megatank still rolling in the direction that Jeremy was a few moments before then Jeremy just released it by turning off his magnets
The Megatank shot into the alleyway and a loud crash was heard as the Megatank crashed though the alleyway.
Back with Aelita she just was about to get into the area with the tower by sneaking past a tarantula when Jeremy Megatank shot out of the alleyway behind her and crashed into a nearby building
Aelita let out a surprised gasp and but quickly covered her mouth and froze.
The Tarantula turned to face the Megatank but then it saw it visual scanner it could see that the wall had distortion of a 3D humanoid ghost shape as it turned to look.
The tarantula lifted it's legs and shot several bolts at the ghost.
Aelita dodged it and ran and the tarantula followed the movement shooting. It then roared out an alert and started running after Aelita periodically standing on two legs and shooting a couple bolts.
The shadow band power faded out and Aelita became fully visible
Xanatos said "There she is all units Aelita is at B5 get her!"
Jeremy pulled up a screen and shouted "Come on guys Aelita in trouble!
Ulrich said "Be with ya in a moment Jeremy, supersprint!" Ulrich shot out of his alleyway by running up on the wall.
A Megatank crash sound was heard and Yumi came out. She had used a psychic based attack to throw the Megatank up and over her.
A fireball shot out from above another Megatank and Liz came out of the fireball and landed with a little difficulty… She sighed and said "well that's a new move I can use…"
A bounce was heard as Odd came out bouncing over the Megatank in an aura that looked like a large bubble. "Hey Jeremy" Odd called out "I think I figured out the Aqua Element's special jump move." He laughed and bounced his way to the group then stopped
Jeremy said "Kat where are you!"
Kat said "Coming in behind you with Mantas on my tail!"
Strawberry ran past and Kat was also running with Mantas shooting at her.
Jeremy said "Guys ready?"
Everyone aimed at the Mantas.
Kat said "Don't hit me!" and did a sliding dance move
Jeremy said "Now!"
Everyone threw projectiles at the Mantas and caused them to shatter.
Kat said "whoo…" She collapsed to the ground in exhaustion "Thanks."
Strawberry ran back to Kat and growled slightly
Yumi said "Jeremy how much time to we have left and what's Aelita's status?
Jeremy said "We only got two minutes left and I don't know how Aelita doing.
Back with Aelita she had managed to elude her pursuers and hide in an alleyway behind some crates.
Aelita sighed and said "I don't have much time… I got to keep moving. She activated her shadow band and ran toward the tower which was about another block away but she then noticed Xanatos guarding the area near the tower however he had a strange green lens over his left eye. Aelita took a deep breath and snuck toward the tower.
A beeping noise was heard and Xanatos turned to face her… "Nice try Aelita…" He said as a small ball of dark energy appeared in his hand. "Ya!" He shouted as he shot a dark Firaga ball.
Aelita attempted to dodge it but it homed onto her and hit her with an explosive force causing her to fall to the ground with a loud cry and the dark energy stunning her
Jeremy heard the cry and said "Aelita!"
