William was leaning on a rock just a few feet away from the tower, "Sheesh what's taking them so long," He conjured up his huge zweihander ((sword but that's the appropriate term I suppose)) and began to slice the air around him ((is there even air on lyoko?)).

"Maybe my super smoke is too fast for them," He scoffed. He kept pretending that he was fighting a monster and stabbed his sword into the rock he was once leaning on. "Either way, Aelita was flying on her own, shouldn't she have been here by now?" He pulled his sword out of the rock and looked at the activated tower, "Jeremy?"

"Oh uh, yeah William?"

"Where are the-" He didn't finish cause of a weird site, he saw a shadowy thing running.

"Huh?' He walked with his sword high up to strike in case of a monster, but instead it turned out to be the shadow of a human like figure. William was sure to be very quiet not wanting the shadown to see him. He walked a few yards behind it but he he saw the figure jump off the edge of a cliff. William saw as the shadow fell closer and closer into the digital sea but right before it splashed in… it just… vanished. Before he could even wonder who or what that was, a laser hit him in the stomach making fall back.

"William! That was ten live points!" Jeremy told him.

"DAMMIT!," William yelled as his sword began to glow and he shot an energy wave from his blade into the sky.

"Whoa! William how'd you know to do that?" Odd asked as he came flying up behind him.

William smiled as he saw Odd and Ulrich come, "I remember a few things surprisingly," He didn't see Maya or Aelita which worried him, "Wait, where's Aelita? Did she get-"

"Nope," Maya's invisibility gave out and she, Aelita and the over-wing came into view. Maya looked drained from keeping very thing invisible. William gave her a teasing grin, "What's wrong Hopper? Tired already?"

Maya smiled back, "Just. Wait," she gasped for breath each word, "I-I could ta-take you down if- if I wanted too."

He laughed at her cockiness, but he got shot in the shoulder by another laser.

"That's another ten points William," Jeremy warned.

"Hey wait," Maya pointed, "We can SEE those hornets." It was true about a dozen hornets were shooting lasers down at them.

"Shield!" Odd yelled as he and William blocked the lasers from hitting the gang.

"Think Xana called off his attack?" Aelita asked

"Attack?" William asked.

"We'll talk later, for now, Aelita run to the tower, Odd, you take her," ((William had wondered far away from the tower)), "Me, William and Maya could-" a laser from a Manta shot Ulrich in the knee.

"Whoa, flying mantas," William shouted.

Odd laughed,"They used to be your favorites."

William grinned and ran up to the closest one that was coming down on them. He jumped onto its back and stabbed it with his sword. Before it exploded it flew up closer next to another manta. William jumped onto that one and continued his attacks.

"Okay, new plan," Aelita said, "Odd and I go to the tower, you two fight off the hornets and Mantas." Before anyone would say otherwise, she and Odd were off.

William was enjoying his time messing up Mantas, the one monster who he favored the most when he was under Xana's control.

Odd and Aelita had a few bugs before they could get closer to the tower. And by bugs, I mean kankrelats.

Maya was standing near a high purple mountain wall trying to slice up three hornets. But every time she went to go cut them, they flew higher and higher.

Ulrich was taking out all his anger from loosing Yumi on the hornets. He sliced up two or three of them with each blow. When he looked to see how Maya was going, he felt like laughing considering she only had taken out one hornet.

Deciding he wanted to be a.. nice guy, he steadied one of his katana's and since the last two hornets were about lined up near the huge wall, he threw his katana at them and it went right threw them. It WOULD have gone right threw Maya as well cause she was so close to the hornets. The blade of the sword one touched the tip of her nose as she jumped back far enough, and the sword plunged into the wall. She then grabbed the sword out from the it and saw Ulrich was suppressing a smile as he walked towards her.

"Were you planning on slicing me up along with the hornets?" She asked as she threw him his katana.

He caught it no problem, but the smile came on his face, "No, well not enough to make you get devirtualized anyway."

She rolled her eyes, "Geez aren't you a little shit."

Ulrich looked like he wanted to punch her, but before he could even make up his mind, a kankrelat cam up behind him and shot his elbow.

Maya quickly threw her dagger at it, destroying it right away.

Instead of a thank you, Ulrich just scoffed and said, "So, I guess you're only good with land monsters, not flying ones huh."

"Are you always this rude?"

"You know you guys COULD give us a hand?' Odd shouted. More and more kankrelats came. It looked like for each one they killed two more came along.

"Energy field!" A kankrelat exploded.

"Laser arrows!" Two more exploded.

But they kept coming.

"Super sprint!" Ulrich run in between Odd and Aelita. He took out a few kankrelats on his way.

William was about done with his Manta killing so Maya ran to the kankrelats. She kicked one out of the way as it came at Aelita's face, "Don't worry coz, go deactivate that tower."

Aelita nodded and ran for the tower.

When she entered the tower she felt so much better. It was like all the pain she felt outside was gone. She had gained back so much power just by coming in here. She felt as if she could stay here forever, but she knew she had a job to do ((And now you see why Aelita takes her sweet time deactivating towers cx )).

When she reached the upper part of the tower, the interface popped up; she pressed her hand on it and it spelt her name: AELITA.

She then entered CODE: LYOKO

The outside of the tower turned blue and the remanding of the kankrelats ran off.

"Hey! Come back and fight you little cowards!" Odd screamed.

"Tower Deactivated." All the files in the tower went down .
