Within a minute the security was on them with a squad of Kanks, Bloks,

Odd went behind some crates that was nearby a building to his right and shot some Arrows at Monsters.

Liz and Jeremy took a similar position on the left and started using their elemental projectiles to shoot opponents which kept them from getting in range to counter with their own attacks but the Kanks and Bloks just kept coming…

Slam took a kneeling position next to Odd however he didn't shoot anything

Odd said "Thought you were going to help?"

Slam said "I am… just give me a second. I'm downloading something I forgot to equip."

A Bazooka like weapon appeared on Slam left shoulder.

Odd said "What the!"

Slam clicked it which made a loud loading sound. "heh heh… I rarely use this but it does come in handy." He aimed it at the center of the Bloks and Kanks "Tank Cannon!"

A powerful blast shot from the Bazooka which did a recoil effect but Slam held his ground.

The blast hit the center of the Squad and exploded taking out all of them.

Odd said "Wow!"

The Bazooka vanished and Slam said "I only get a shot per reload but usually you only need one."

Jeremy said "I'll say… come on let's keep moving."

The group went deeper into the site Slam taking out a few of the powerful ones like Tarantulas and krabs with his fists and inhuman strength. It was quickly noted however he had a few weaknesses namely against aerial type monsters like hornets.

A couple of hornets flew in and stayed high while shooting at the warriors.

Jeremy said "Hornets! Scatter"

The warriors scattered to hiding positions Liz and Jeremy hiding behind one building Odd and Slam diving behind another

"Dam" Slam muttered as he peeked out watching the hornets patrol the area "the one of two types of opponents I hate fighting…"

Odd said "I usually chase them down using my board but vehicles are disabled in hacking! If only I could get some air!"

Slam said "I could help with that." He grinned and flexed.

Odd said "No no wait!"

Slam said "Going Up!" He grabbed Odd and threw him into the air over the center of the road

The Hornets shot toward Odd

Odd said "Yikes"

Jeremy said "Shoot Odd Shoot!"

Odd aimed with his left arm. "Bubbler!" A blast of bubbles shot out of his hand and hit the Center Hornet with a Water Element attack that spread to the others.

The hornets sputtered and their wings became heavy with water and they crashed landed on the ground.

Odd said "Aqua Shield!" A bubble surrounded Odd and he fell to the ground right on top of the Hornet crushing them with a powerful Bubble Bomb attack. Soap bubbles and bits from the destroyed hornets could be seen floating around

"I always thought cats hate water" Slam commented

Odd laughed slightly "Kinda helps I like seafood."

Jeremy sighed "Come on let's keep going."

The group soon made it to the tower.

Jeremy said "I've got this…" He walked over to the console in front of the tower. "watch out for a potential Megatank."

Slam said "Megatank?"

Liz said "A giant bowling ball like Xana Monster."

Slam said "Bowling Ball? Huh"

Jeremy touched the console and a Megatank appeared and crashed to the ground.

Liz said "That's a Megatank."

Slam said "huh that doesn't look too special."

The Megatank opened and a laser blade charged up and was fired at the group.

Odd and Liz dodged while Slam took the hit without flinching

Slam's eyes narrowed "Okay now you're asking for it." He charged at the Megatank his right fist glowing with blue energy

The Megatank closed thinking it's shell would protect it against any and all attacks which would be the case normally but Slam wasn't aiming for damage or a kill.

Slam threw a massive punch which sent the Megatank rolling down the street.

Odd and Liz just looked at Slam and Slam held his hand against his head like he was listening for something. "Come on Come on." He chanted

The sound of a bowling pins being hit was heard

Slam grinned "Strike."

Odd said "What was that…"

Slam said "Bowling Punch. It has the potential of ejecting an opponent from the battle you know it successful if you hear pins being hit. You eject an opponent it's out of here."

Liz said "The Internet has some unusual attacks."

Slam turned and said "Hey Jeremy you finished hacking yet."

Odd and Liz also turned to face Jeremy

Jeremy was typing on the console "Just about…" He said "There… Security Deactivate!"

The sirens shut off but then the console that Jeremy was near surged with energy.

Jeremy said "What the!" as the energy hit him and he became possessed.

Liz said "Jeremy?

Slam and Odd both got confused looks. "What going on here?" Slam asked

Odd said "Don't know."

Jeremy turned and walked into the tower and went to the area where Aelita did when she deactivated a tower. His named appeared and the words Code Lyoko also appeared.

On the outside the tower lost it reddish glow

"Warning" came a female voice "Site Destruction in five minutes"

Liz said "oh no…"

Odd said "This again… what in blazes did Einstein do."

Slam walked over to the console and looked at it. "hmm…"

Jeremy exited out of the tower

Odd said "Yo Einstein… What you do."

Jeremy said "What." He blinked as he realized the site was undergoing a pre-destruction sequence. "oh no…"

Slam said "I don't know what made you do it kid but from what I'm reading here. You just deleted a critical file of the operation system of this site without it the whole system undergoing a memory dump if the operation program is not reset in the next four minutes the whole site going to shatter right underneath our feet due to a system crash"

Jeremy said "Let's get out of here…"

Slam said "There not enough time… at least for me… guess it's time to pull out those rusty programming skills and see if I can stabilize the system to extend our time"

Jeremy said "You can do that…"

Slam said "I haven't done it in a while but I think I can."

Jeremy said "What do we need to do."

Slam said "We got to figure out what file was deleted and try to create a temporary file which will hold the system until a proper file is reinstalled."

Jeremy said "But what file did I delete. I don't remember"

"Warning Site Destruction in three minutes"

Slam said "You better remember quick; otherwise we can all say bye, bye to our bits."

Jeremy said "uh… man…"

Odd said "Einstein you went into the tower right… maybe you just deactivated the tower like Aelita always does."

Jeremy said "Code Lyoko…"

Slam said "What?"

Jeremy said "Code Lyoko. It's the code that deactivates towers which closes portals between the real world and the virtual world."

Slam recoiled in shock "Closes them! You fool that portal is this system life support!"

Jeremy said "What?"

Slam said "You closing the portals prevent data from being transferred from between the real world computer and the virtual site's core. It's pretty much the back up system in case one of them get somehow bugged up.

Jeremy said "so then the core system was already broken by the time I deactivated the tower because all we did was shutdown the security and then deactivated the tower"

Slam said "but how can that be possible the Agency won't allow a site to be active unless it securely functional it one of their main duties"

Jeremy said "The Agency can't patrol this site because of XANA not allowing it."

Slam said "So who does patrol it… making sure the system works"

Odd said "That's a good question…"

"Warning Site Destruction in Two minutes"

"Jeremy" Liz said "We're running out of time!"

Slam said "She's right unless an Agent shows up this site done for we got to get out of here now"

Jeremy said "Wait I've got an idea."

Slam said "There no time kid. We're pulling out." He pulled out a key with a clicker device and clicked it once a vehicle beeped like a top down sports car and suddenly drove in

The group was amazed that Slam had a vehicle that could fit four people

"Get in…" Slam commanded

Everyone got into the car.

Slam pressed the radio button "Network of Darkness this is Samuel McClout I need an Emergency Transference Portal to Google there no security just get me a portal now!

"Roger Dodger Slam, Portal activation in five four three two one."

A portal like a corridor of darkness appeared and Slam drove the car into it. The portal closed afterward

"One minute remaining to Site Destruction." A countdown started going.

When the countdown reached 45 Guide appeared

Guide chuckled "I just love time bombs." He said to no one in particular and quickly pulled out a disc and inserted it into the console and typed on it.

"Site Destruction has been deactivated."

Guide finished typing and said "Site Purification activate"

The tower surged with white energy that spread throughout the site and turned it into a purified site.

Guide pulled out what appeared to be a broken metallic arm piece. "This site won't need this fragmented XANA system anymore." He threw it away and it shot into a recycle bin that suddenly appeared and just as quickly vanished "Well that two down three more to go for the first level." His watch beeped and he checked it "Oh wait make that two more to go… KC's just about to show up at Site 11 to do what I just did." He laughed "Xanatos is going to hate that he missed all the action today… poor kid out like a light… but hey he'll get some major time later along with that other kid…" He paused and got thoughtful "You know I haven't fully investigated what their story is anyhow hmm… well got nothing better to do." He vanished

Site 10 complete
