William looked up at the window the four others had just entered from, his mind finally making the connection of what this would mean.

"Guys!" William said, his expression loud as he ran to catch up to the others, his thoughts having made him pause for a few moments earlier. "When the water gets higher, more water is gonna come through that window. Not to mention the hole Odd and I couldn't block from earlier."

Jeremy looked back at the opening, the others following suit. "I already considered that. The room storing the supercomputer should be fine, the top is sealed and the elevator doors should keep most of the water out. I am worried about the lab though, it's not as tightly secured and will probably already have some water leakage." Jeremy's mind had honestly been full of concerns since this incident began, but he tried hard to keep them below the surface, attempting to look calm and collected.

"All the more reason to get to Lyoko and crush X.A.N.A. quickly." Yumi said, looking the group over. Her words inspired a sense of confidence in the other Warriors, causing a telepathic agreement between them. They all walked to the elevator, the elevator shaft already beginning to fill with water, and without speaking, instilled a strong bond between them all. In their minds, they all thought the same thing, 'We've made it this far, we can't give up now.'

"Scanner Odd, scanner Ulrich, scanner Yumi."

"Transfer Odd, transfer Ulrich, transfer Yumi."

"Virtualization."

The three Warriors joined William and Aelita who had already been virtualized, landing with a hard thud. The heavy snow fell over the Ice Sector, a mysterious occurrence.

"Jeremy, what's with the blizzard?" Odd asked, placing his hand out from his body, unable to see it.

"I guess X.A.N.A. just feels like manipulating weather today. Be carful, the snow will make it hard to see, so monsters can easily sneak up on you." Jeremy said, sitting in his usual seat, the floor of the lab shimmering, a light film of water silently growing.

"Okay, how about our vehicles?" William asked, welding his heavy sword with both hands.

"On their way." Jeremy replied, typing rapidly, his skills easily displayed, able to type almost a couple hundred words a minute, if he gets the right words.

The vehicles virtualized, each Warrior hooping aboard their respective ride, Aelita using her wings to fly through this incredibly disabling storm.

"The tower should be due south of you, but be carful, I see monsters on my screen." Jeremy warned, looking over some data.

Just as he finished speaking, lasers filled the virtual sky, the white of snow penetrated by the bright red beams of energy. The warriors did their best to avoid impact, William swerving violently until his Override was hit twice on the side sending him free falling. Ulrich and Odd were brought down together, Ulrich being hit and then swerving into Odd, knocking both boys off and into the hard frozen ground below. Yumi was hit directly, causing a loss of life-points and her to fall from her vehicle, meeting a similar fate as the others.

Aelita, noticing her friends fall faster than flies, landed of her own will to regroup with them. "You guys okay?" She asked, her wings retracting.

"Fine, Princess." Odd said, looking over the situation, rubbing the back of his head. "How are we gonna fight an enemy we can't see?" He asked, the others not entirely sure they had an answer.

"Guys, I hate to rush you, but soon the lab will be a lake." Jeremy said, water now reaching his ankles and rising quickly.

"Well, we would fight," Odd said, looking up at the sky, "but X.A.N.A. is so weak that he has to cheat to win!"

As if X.A.N.A. were accepting the challenge, the heavy snowfall began to dissipate, eventually clearing.

The gang looked at their surroundings, jaws dropped at the sheer number of enemies that were currently surrounded them. Forming a circle around them was an assorted group of dozens of monsters, Crabs, Bloks, Hornets, Tarantulas and Megatanks. The air was tense, the monsters eying down the Warriors as if they were taunting them, warning them of what's to come.

"Guys, I see a lot of monsters on my screen, keep an eye out." Jeremy said, not knowing what was already taking place on Lyoko.

"Thanks for the early warning, Einstein." Ulrich said, drawing his swords from their holsters.

"Okay, what's the plan?" Yumi asked, the group now falling into a defensive circular position.

"Well, there's about 100 of them and 5 of us, that means we each get 20." Aelita said, reactivating her wings.

The gang prepared themselves, Aelita building a partial ice wall around certain parts of their circle for cover, leaving enough room for them to attack from the inside or go our, but still making it harder on the monsters. Odd loaded a laser arrow, preparing to fire at will. Ulrich triplicated himself, his two copies following suit in his defensive position. Yumi pulled out her fans, planning to use one as a shield and the other as a weapon. Finally, William held his sword ready for a fight, his knees bent and prepared to leap upon weak enemies.

"On my mark!" Ulrich yelled, holding one sword in the air. "Three... Two... One... Charge!"

The fight was on, Ulrich and his copies moving on the Crabs, William for the Bloks. Odd, Yumi and Aelita stayed inside the shelter, using their range as a way to take out open targets from cover.

The monsters retaliated, lasers sent flying everywhere. The scene below seemed as though it was from a war movie, a heated battle between the two best armies in the world, a seemingly endless fight.

A group of Hornets attempted to poison the shelter with their acid, but were taken out by a multitude of killer shots from Odd that would make Annie Oakley jealous. William made short work of the Bloks, dodging all of their strategic shots and formations until their only lay a thin dust of code from their remnants. Ulrich lost both of his clones almost instantly, but proved his power by taking out all ten of the Crabs in no time, his swords almost seeming bright from the friction of his cuts. Aelita and Yumi worked together on the Tarantulas, them taking turns distracting them while the other destroyed them.

The Megatanks were a team effort, Ulrich using his supersprint to destroy the first couple before the fired, dodging the shots of the others. Odd took out two as well, leaving only five for the others. William used his supersmoke to get behind three of them clustered in a triangle, spinning quickly with his sword extended to destroy them. Yumi and Aelita used a similar tactic as they did before to destroy the remaining Megatanks, leaving no monsters left.

An eerie silence full upon the group, the battle won and the world about to be saved again by the great Lyoko Warriors.

"Okay Aelita, deactivate the tower and we can get outta here." Jeremy said, water now nearly on the seat of his chair.

*THUD* *THUD* *THUD*

"...Guys... Is that what I think it is?" Odd said, his spine shivering in fear as he looked over his shoulder towards the vibrations.

*THUD* *THUD* *THUD*
