2.2

"Odd, be careful!!" Aelita screamed as loud as she could, running into the tower. She ran to the middle of the platform, muttering "Hurry up, hurry up! Odd's gonna lose!!" As she floated up, she heard noises of battle from outside. What was going on?

Odd dodged William in time, climbing one of the trees. He shot at least 20 Crabs, then leaped to another tree close by. Now that he was high up, no one could stop him. That is, until he turned around. William was floating beside him, giving him a lazy grin. Odd scowled, and tried to shoot him. But William grabbed his paw gauntlet, and threw him down towards the sector floor.

"You're not getting rid of me that easily William!" Odd growled, and shot him three times. William's frame began to fuzz with black smoke, and started to disappear. Prince Charming's face morphed into a look of astonishment, like he couldn't believe he was defeated. It was almost too good to be true! As the last wisp of him faded, Odd hit the ground, landing on his feet lightly. Aelita deactivated the tower in seconds, sighing with relief. She ran out, and noticed that Odd was now fending off hoards of un-manned monsters. And the Scyphozoa was nowhere to be seen.

"Princess, would you… hyah!... do me the favor of… helping out here?" Odd yelled, his gauntlets beginning to run out of arrows. Aelita nodded, and shot a round of energy fields at the monsters. Soon there were only a few Crabs and Blocks left, and they seemed to be… talking to each other? Odd and Aelita stood there with stunned and confused looks on their faces, watching as the monsters nodded and gestured at each other, holding some sort of conversation the Lyoko Warriors couldn't hear, that was definitely new. Odd was the first to shake off his confusion, firing off a volley of arrows at some of the remaining monsters, who exploded into fragments of data like the others, Aelita soon shook out of her own stupor and launched her attack as well.

Jeremie and Yumi ran up to the Computer, watching the spectre fizzle out of existence. Sam helped Ulrich sit down, his body overly fatigued. Jeremie leapt into the chair, beginning the reboot sequence on some of his destroyed files. Luckily, the spectre was too busy with its plan to notice his anti-destroyer software. All the files it had hacked would be cleaned and fixed in no time.

"Things looking up Jeremie?" Ulrich asked. Jeremie nodded, a smile on his face. "Yup, everything seems to be okay. Fortunately, no X.A.N.A attack was executed other than the spectre, so there's no need to take a trip to the past. We certainly don't want too many of those." Jeremie typed some more, and pulled up a visual of Aelita and Odd's situation. They were beating down the last few monsters with triumph. No need to devirtualize them immediately.

As Jeremie began re-installing files and software, he heard a small blip noise coming from the enemy locator. He pulled it up, and took a sharp breath. The fight wasn't over yet. It had barely begun! Jeremie typed furiously, initiating a new software reboot and scan. Re-virtualization. It was in it's beginning stages, but it worked. If Ulrich and Yumi could get enough energy back from resting, maybe he could send help. However, it was their last resort if things got ugly. Jeremie checked the security around the core of Lyoko as a precaution. He didn't like what he saw, nearly all the firewalls around the core were gone due to the pesky clone's hack job. Jeremie glanced back to the map of the forest sector and saw a giant group of monsters about 20 meters away from Odd and Aelita.

"Odd, Aelita! Better watch out, there's a swarm of new monsters headed your way! And William's leading them!" Jeremie shouted into his headset. Yumi glanced up from tending to Ulrich, alarm in both of their faces. Sam stood a ways back, remembering how mad the whole group had been the last time she had been in here. She didn't really want a repeat of that pleasant moment.

Odd swerved around to see a wave of Blocks and Creepers coming up a nearby slope. And just as Jeremie said, a smug looking William was sitting on top of a Crab, with his sword unsheathed.

"But how?! I shot that idiot, he shouldn't be rematerialized so quickly!" Odd yelled. "This is bad, I'm almost out of arrows Einstein!" Odd yelled, grabbing Aelita's arm. They made a break to the tower, running as fast as they could. "Hurry Aelita, we don't have that much time!"

Aelita looked back, and gasped. The mounted Crab was only a few meters away! "Hurry! They're right behind us! Jeremie, do something!!" Aelita yelled. Jeremie typed another code in, and the Hoverbike was a few feet in front of them. Odd jumped on, and pulled Aelita on.

"Where's the closest WayTower Einstein?" Odd asked, swerving to avoid energy shots. Jeremie pulled out a map, and quickly found one. "It's the next path to your right, then a small jump over to the Mountain Sector will give me enough time to fix everything." Odd nodded, faked a swerve to the left and shot towards the path to his right. Half the monsters ended up falling into the virtual sea, and William was stuck on the other path, yelling in rage.

"Odd, there's something you should know. As I ran to the tower, I saw a Scyphozoa. It was right behind you, but disappeared somewhere when I came out of the tower. It must have disappeared when I deactivated the tower, but I'm not sure." Aelita whispered into Odd's ear. Odd didn't turn around, but Aelita noticed a movement. He tightened his grip on the accelerator, and shot into the WayTower. Once they were inside Aelita heaved a sigh of relief before glancing around them at the tower.

"I never get bored of the data stream. It's always so beautiful." Aelita sighed, resting her head on Odd's shoulder. Odd turned his head, a faint blush on his cheeks, and nodded.

"Yeah, beautiful..." Odd muttered. He looked off the edge of the floor, into the deep data stream path. "Hey Einstein, can we talk? Block Tall Dark and Handsome if you can from entering the tower." He called up. Jeremie stopped typing for a moment, then furiously started putting up a firewall around the tower. Once completed, Jeremie sat back and released the breath he had been holding.

"Einstein, can you devirtualize us?" Odd looked at the data stream, his face serious. Aelita nodded and added, "It would be best if we returned to Earth now, seeing that the tower is inactive. All we would be doing is instigating a fight if we were to leave the tower for another sector."

"Actually, the only safe way for me to devirtualize you guys without the problem of William and X.A.N.A is if you go to the Mountain Sector right now and wait for me to reboot the security around the core, just in case. That way all the firewalls will return from what my clone hacked. If you ride the data stream there, you'll make it in a few minutes." Jeremie replied. Odd frowned, but nodded.

"Alright then, Princess, let's get moving." Odd hopped onto the Hoverbike, and Aelita wrapped her arms around his torso, holding tight. She didn't notice the slight blush forming on Odd's face as he revved up the bike and drove it off the side of the platform into the data stream.

Seconds after they entered the data stream, a furious William burst into the WayTower. He glanced around angrily, then took a couple steps towards the edge of the platform. "Darn it! Master, I'm sorry but he escaped to another sector. What do I do now?" William paused, his eyes closed and the X.A.N.A mark on his head glowed a fraction. Moments later, his eyes flung open and he grinned.

"Perfect idea. That will send a message to those pesky Lyoko Warriors to just submit to your will and let us take Odd. What shall I do first, Master?" :fuzzydemon:
WOOOOOOOOO, I LOVE ~CutestChibi for helping me this chapter!!! We're an unstoppable duo!!

I belive I owe ~CutestChibi a ton of credit. I sent her the first draft of this chapter (since I was infected with writers block, the most deadly disease ever) and she showed me that I STINK AT WRITING DURING WRITERS BLOCK... and fixed my boo-boos. :hug:

And if anyone has a screenshot of Odd looking scared, please show me. I need reference for the icon for the fic. :please:
