Everyone headed into the site. Kat taking the leaded followed by Ulrich and Yumi and Aelita. KC was trailing behind trying to work on something with his blasters.

Aelita slowed down slightly and let KC catch up with her. "What are you working on KC?" She asked

"I'm programming my main weapons with your guys' data codes." KC replied "if I do it right, I'll have the same advantage as you guys do with being able to delete a monster with only one shot on the eye"

"That will be good," Aelita stated "can you do it?"

Something beeped slightly and KC said "We'll find out in a few seconds I'm detecting two waves of 5 Bloks coming up to us.

Aelita looked and indeed there were 10 Bloks coming in two groups. "How much time do you need?" She asked

"About a minute, I'll catch up." KC replied

Aelita nodded and the group ran ahead to engage the Bloks.

Ulrich dashed up to a Blok using Supersprint and stabbed it making it shatter.

Yumi threw her Fans and slashed two of them in an arc attack.

Aelita shot a energy sphere and blasted one.

Kat dashed up to a Blok and used her bow in a twirl movement to whack another Blok to bits.

The other Bloks returned fire inflicting some damage to each of the warriors. They had charged up while the others took the hits.

"Not cool" Kat grunted

Several laser blasts shot at the Bloks like a machine gun hitting them with deadly accuracy, making the Bloks shatter to bits.

KC ran in but his hands were designed similar to how a tarantula's forelegs were designed.

Aelita looked at KC then recoiled slightly in shock "What happened to your hands KC?"

KC grunted as he held one up in an attacking position "I blame it on my rushed programming." He replied "I'll have to reformat them to normal later. But for now I'm stuck without hands"

Yumi grimaced slightly "uh…" she commented "That will be tough."

"Could be worse" KC replied, "These laser blasters could have had glitches and I being firing blanks or something worse. Thankfully most everything I do by hand can be done in other methods."

"Other methods?" Ulrich questioned

"Abilities that only programs like myself can use," KC explained "but now not the time to get into details let's keep moving.

"Already ahead of you Agent" called Kat she was about a good one hundred yards away "hurry up slowpoke!" She made a razz face

KC grinned and sudden warped to her location in a burst of bits

Kat jumped as KC appeared right next to her "Hey how you do that?" She asked

"Natural abilities…" KC replied while smirking "so Kat you think your fast? Let us see how fast. I challenge you to a race."

A barrier shot up between her and KC splitting the street between them and another barrier surrounded the edges

Kat gave him a smile "A race huh?"

"First one to the tower wins." KC added "but you have to defeat all the monsters that get in your way." He smiled playfully "don't worry they're pretty easy in this area."

Kat grinned "You're on Agent." She stated "if I win you give me something good like a site map"

KC said "Fair enough and if I win you have to cough up that accessory orb that Kevin gave ya or 5000 Zenny it's resell value if you already used it."

"Done!" Kat chirped then took a running stance

KC took a stance "Battle Race, begin!" He stated

(Song Selection: Secret Life by Subdigital)

Both KC and Kat took off

Yumi Ulrich and Aelita were left behind

Yumi looked at Aelita with a confused expression "So Aelita what are we going to do?" She asked

Aelita gave her an unsure smile. "Um, good question." She stated "they most likely going to clear any monsters so why don't we just follow at a causal pace."

"Leave all the work for them?" Ulrich asked

Aelita smiled slightly at Ulrich "Unless you feel like helping Kat out." She replied

Ulrich smirked with a light scoff "No thanks." He replied "She jumps foolishly head first into things, she can fight her own way out of them."

"Then let's go" Yumi said

The three followed at a causal pace.

Kat ran down the street fighting and destroying the monsters that popped up in her path. KC was ahead of her. He periodically moved along the side of building using magnetic shoes to attach himself to the wall. Doing this gave him the advantage of a downward angle to shoot monsters target symbols that happen to have targets on top of their body like Krabs, however this slowed him down. Kat was forced to stay on the ground but she had Strawberry leap off her shoulders and slam targets that were out of range. For the most part it was pretty even however Kat did make it to the tower before KC only because Strawberry touched it first.

Kat posed "Ha!" She said with glee "looks like you owe me a site map KC."

KC smirked and a small disc-like a computer chip appeared next to Kat. "Good race," He complimented when you feel like trying a harder area let me know and I'll meet ya there."

Kat grabbed the chip and said "Got it"

The rest of the group caught up to KC and Kat.

Aelita smiled "Having fun you two?" She asked

Kat posed with the chip "Yep just earned a site map for the group." She replied

"To what site?" Ulrich asked

Kat paused for a moment in confusion "uh…" She looked at it "Hey Agent what site is this too anyhow it doesn't say."

KC grinned, "that happens to be the site map to Google." He replied

Kat jumped in shock "WHAT!" She exclaimed

KC looked at her still grinning, "What?" He said in a snide manner, "you think I was going to cough up a XANA site map that easily."

Kat glared at him and waved the chip "And what good is this."

KC smirked "Google is a big site," He replied 'there are a lot of areas within it and all those areas have secrets who knows what you could find if you have the right abilities to get those secrets."

Aelita said "Right abilities?"

Kat said "Oh I get it…" She glared slightly at KC in annoyance "There something at Google that you know could be useful to us so you just pointed us in that direction hinting we would need a special ability to access it. It's most likely a special hidden ability of the elements right?"

KC just crossed his arms still grinning "Maybe" He replied cryptically

"And until one of us learns that move we can't get that secret." Kat replied "So what is it?"

KC chuckled "There are several items that can't usually be bought at shops. They include items like Accessory and Weapon Orbs but there are others some worth lots of money, some useful in battle and some can be used in other ways, none the less they are valuable one way or another"

Kat said "but we won't know what they are or how to use them until they are gotten right…"

KC said "Pretty much yeah."

Kat growled "Alright… A-gent" She held the word Agent for emphasis. "I'll let you slide this time but the next time we do a race you will give me a XANA site map no questions asked if I win"

KC chuckled "Fair enough. Now since we're at the tower we just have to finish it up. Aelita if you would"

Aelita said "Okay… although KC I think I know what going to happen next"

KC said "You do…"

Aelita said "I'm going to activate Code Lyoko…"

KC blinked and said "and that does what…"

Aelita pointed at the tower and said "It deactivates the tower. Kat told me that's what happened"

Kat said "Well the tower did change colors to a gray color instead of a usual red."

Ulrich said "Which terms as deactivating the tower."

KC hummed as he thought "you all deactivate towers on a regular basis on Lyoko don't you."

Aelita nodded "it stopped XANA from attacking the real world by closing the portal that tower was connected to…" She explained then looked at the tower "I'm not sure if we're doing the same thing here because there's no active attack in the real world I think."

KC shook his head "not that my group's been aware of." He said "but if your code closes the portal itself, I may have just figured out what the hell happened."

Yumi said "what was it?"

KC said "closing the portal to the real world cuts this site's connection to whatever computer it's linked to. That portal is this site's life support, the main source of power. If you cut it off, the entire site will eventually collapse due to no power but usually it takes longer then five minutes for a collapse."

Aelita said "I didn't know it was that critical."

Yumi said "Closing the portals on Lyoko doesn't do that…"

KC said "I know because Lyoko is directly plugged into your supercomputer. Central like that too. The portals only allow other computers and sites to access it. If you close all it's portals then there are no connections to the outside world which is what Central did. It's like disconnecting a modem from your home computer.

Aelita said "and that's what a level 1 counter does, it's cuts off portals so that no site has power."

KC nodded "Correct…" He replied "and without power nothing works." He looked at her "So what exactly is Code Lyoko do you know it's sequence?"

"No…" Aelita responded and shook her head "not really. I think Jeremy recorded it once but I just touch my hand against the pad inside the tower and the code is automatically done" She explained

KC said "well that means it directly linked to your core sequence it's one of your 'functions' or natural abilities it doesn't need an accessory for you to use it."

Kat said "Do I have any natural abilities?"

KC said "You're a dancer right in the real world…"

Kat said "Yep…"

KC said "that's a natural ability being able to keep your balance while moving in a stylish manner. Any dance item here enhances that ability making it easier for you to perform."

Kat said "cool…"

KC said "So anyway let's get that tower deactivated but first."

Aelita said "The security right…" She walked over to the console and touched it

A screech was heard as a Manta flew in out of a portal

Yumi said "A manta…"

KC said "oh… yes… I like Mantas." He posed slightly to charge up "I love Barbequed Mantas… Shocker!" He pointed his 'hands' at the manta

Nothing happened.

The Manta dove toward KC and shot a few lasers at him.

KC dodged.

Ulrich said "Supersprint!" and charged at the Manta then leapt into the air and he swung his sword.

The Manta was sliced on the symbol and shattered.

KC said "nice support there Ulrich now I just got to figure out what happened to my lightning abilities. I have them naturalized so that I don't need a lightning bracelet to use them"

Kat said "Maybe your rushed programming caused a glitch to disable your other natural abilities."

KC said "Maybe…" He tapped on his arm which flipped open like a wrist computer and looked at it… "Yep looks like I got an auto-attack glitch. I can't use any of my elemental moves or other skills just what my blasters had equipped."

Kat said "Tough break…"

KC said "I'll fix it later… Aelita how that security coming…"

Aelita said "Security deactivating now!"

The console beeped but then surged with energy.

Aelita gasped but then turned possessed she slowly turned toward the tower

KC blinked and rushed over to her. "Aelita if you can hear me fight it…"

Aelita locked eyes with KC and all of a sudden a force pushed him aside. "Step aside Agent" Aelita said in a slightly altered voice but it seemed familiar "I must do this."

KC blinked and said "Takara?"

Aelita entered into the tower and thirty seconds later the tower deactivated and the pre-destruction sequence activated.

Ulrich said "Here it goes."

Aelita came out of the tower.

KC looked at her "Aelita you still with us…"

Aelita blinked and said "Yes…"

KC said "okay… don't panic… I'll have everything fixed in a second." He entered into the tower and the tower surged with white energy a few seconds later and the site was purified.

Kat said "Wow so that what happens when a site's purified."

KC came out of the tower his expression unreadable.

Aelita said "Is everything alright KC?"

KC said "for now it is… come on let's get out of here."

Aelita said "Okay…"

The group headed out of the core site and all of a sudden the song Let's Get It Started, started to play.

KC grinned and glanced to his left and a beep was heard like a cell phone being answered and said "Yo Night Notes"

"Alright KC…" a female voice that was filled with spite started "What's the big idea using my boyfriend to do your dirty work?"

KC said "Nice to hear from you too Cynthia I take it Slam had to call in to get out of site 10"

The group looked at KC in shock

"Yep," Cynthia replied "He had to pull himself and 3 others out before a site blew a fuse on them."

KC said "Hey I told him it was a high risk job and he didn't have to do it."

"Uh huh" Cynthia replied in a tone of non belief "and you just had to wave a packet as well right…"

KC said "Hey what can I say… stuff like that talks. So I take it he couldn't save the site…"

Cynthia said "Nope he couldn't, but someone else did… the sequence stopped about a minute after he left."

KC blinked and said "Interesting."

Cynthia said "anyway he told me to tell you he'll be waiting at Clip's Arcade in Google to report in for his pay and mark my words KC you better pay him extra, life insurance isn't so cheap down here in the net as it is in Central and his rate is high enough as is."

KC said "Alright, Alright… I pay him 10% extra how that."

Cynthia said "fair enough…" someone speaking out of clear range of the phone was heard "oh and uh Rachel says hi."

KC chuckled and said "tell her I'll be down later after work."

Cynthia said "Right…" She hung up

KC sighed "well that another thousand out of pocket."

Ulrich said "You hired someone to watch Site 10?"

KC said "Yep and to assist you guys in case things got too rough…"

Kat said "You knew we wouldn't be able to handle two sites at the same time."

KC said "Not without at least one blowing up on ya. I can't be in two places at once to save both sites and none of the other Agents besides Sentinel are willing to back me up and he's busy. So I had to ask for a favor."

Aelita said "From who?"

KC said "an ally of mine. I think Jeremy and the others not here have met up with him you'll most likely meet him if you stick with me for a bit. He's a little intimidating at first but he's truly a good guy to have on your side"

Yumi said "That good."

Aelita said "But wait a minute, I wasn't there, who deactivated the tower?"

KC said "If I had to guess Jeremy he is an Admin right and he did learn your code once."

Aelita said "Yes…"

KC nodded "like I figured. Anyway let's get to Google and met with everyone. I got some serious stuff to discuss with you all."

Aelita said "You do?"

KC said "Yeah…"

End of Site 11
