Chapter 10: Attack and Another Practice

On Saturday, the team sat on the back porch of the Hermitage, bored out of their minds. Sissi was with them.

"You know, I think this place still needs something." Aelita said.

"And what do you think that is, my beautiful Princess?" Chris asked.

"A hot tub."

"Above ground or in-ground with the pool, sis?" Xana asked.

"In-ground with the pool."

"Okay. All in favor?" Chris asked and the others nodded. "Then let's do it."

"Still got your credit card?" Yumi asked him.

"Like you even have to ask." Chris said then clutched his head and an image of an activated tower in the Forest Sector appeared in his head. When it faded, he looked at the others.

"Where is it?" Xana asked.

"Forest Sector." Chris replied.

"Then let's take care of it, then get that hot tub." Jeremie said. With that, the team took off to the factory. Chris looked at Jeremie when they arrived.

"Wanna join us? I've programmed the use of the computer in the helmet of your Lyoko avatar. With Aelita's help, naturally."

"Sure. I'll come with. But first, I'll send the others to Lyoko, then virtualize you, me, and Aelita." Jeremie said.

"Mind if I come with you guys onto Lyoko?" Sissi asked.

"Well, we could use all the help we can get." Jeremie said, and the others agreed as they reached the lab. Jeremie stepped out as the others went to the scanner room. Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi stepped into the scanners first.

"Transfer Ulrich! Transfer Yumi! Transfer Odd!"

The scanners closed.

"Scanner Ulrich! Scanner Yumi! Scanner Odd!"

The trio were ready.

"Virtualization!"

They were sent to Lyoko. When they were there, the scanners opened back up and William, Sissi, and Xana stepped into them.

"Transfer William! Transfer Sissi! Transfer Xana!"

The scanners closed again.

"Scanner William! Scanner Sissi! Scanner Xana!"

Their avatars were prepared.

"Virtualization!"

The scanners opened up a few seconds later and Jeremie started up the Self-Virtualization and then headed downstairs. He, Chris, and Aelita stepped into the scanners and were virtualized onto Lyoko. When they arrived, they saw Sissi's Lyoko form was similar to Odd's, except it was green and had a wolf's design and she had a bow and several arrows. The vehicles were materialized as well.

Jeremie hopped into his T-Rex with Sissi sitting in the passenger's seat.

"Okay, Einstein. Lead the way." Chris ordered. Jeremie took point to the tower and when they arrived, the team saw it was well protected. Three Dark Krabs, three Dark Tarantulas, and three Dark Kankrelats.

"Let's take these guys." Chris said as he activated his Energy Sword then revved his bike, then drove towards the monsters. Aelita had made a ramp for him and when he hit the ramp, he jumped off and landed on a Dark Krab. He then stabbed the monster.

"Impact!" He shouted then jumped back onto his bike as Ulrich drove past him and also hit the ramp, landing on a Dark Tarantula, then doing the same thing Chris did. Odd flew past Ulrich on his Overboard then aimed at a Dark Kankrelat.

"Laser arrows!" He shouted then took out the Dark Kankrelat. Aelita drove by next, hit the ramp then aimed an energy field at a Dark Krab.

"Energy field!" She shouted then shot it at the monster, destroying it. Yumi flew by and threw one of her fans at a Dark Tarantula, destroying it. Xana rode by, pulling a spear off of her back and slashed a Dark Kankrelat with it.

William flew by and swung his Zweihander at the last Dark Kankrelat, destroying it as Jeremie drove to the last two then shot the Dark Tarantula as Sissi shot an arrow at the last Dark Krab.

Aelita and Xana hopped off their vehicles then entered the tower. They levitated to the top and Aelita looked at her sister.

"Go ahead, sis." Aelita said. Xana nodded and placed her hand on the interface.

Xana

CODE: LYOKO

"Tower deactivated." Xana said. The sisters then joined everyone outside.

"So, what's say we head to the auditorium to practice again, then go get us a pool for the Hermitage?" Chris asked.

"Sounds good." The others said. Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd readied their weapons, then devirtualized each other.

A few seconds later, William, Sissi, and Xana did the same, followed shortly by the remaining three.

When they all were back on Earth, they headed to the Academy. While they were getting set up, Laura watched from the window. Her eyes were mainly on Chris. Jim noticed and walked to her.

"Gauthier! That's two hours of detention!" He said, getting the team's attention.

Laura sighed and headed to study hall. The bandmates walked up to him.

"Thanks, Jimbo." Chris said.

"No problem, Chris." Jim said then followed behind Laura. Milly and Tamiya showed up. Aelita looked at them.

"Hey, you two. What's up?" She asked.

"We wanted to record you guys practicing. Can we?" Tamiya asked.

"Sure. Come on in, girls." Chris said. Tamiya pulled out her camera as the band got set up.

When they were ready, Ulrich started playing his keyboard, and then Odd started playing his guitar, then William started playing his drums. And then, the three singers got ready.

[Yumi]

There is a world, that is virtual and different.
It can be so cold. It makes us stand up for what's right.
A hope to a life, if we reset it to the start!

[Chris]

Here we are, going far, to save all that we love;
If we give all we've got, we will make it through.
Here we are, like a star, shining bright on your world;
Today, make Evil go away!

Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all.
Code Lyoko, be there when you call!
Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall.
Code Lyoko, stronger after all!

[Aelita]

A world of machines, it can shadow human nature.
And all that we need, is the way to find the answer.
And one thing is sure, you can count on us for good!

[Chris]

Here we are, going far, to save all that we love;
If we give all we've got, we will make it through.
Here we are, like a star, shining bright on your world;
Today, make Evil go away!

Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all.
Code Lyoko, be there when you call!
Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall.
Code Lyoko, stronger after all!

[Yumi, Aelita, and Chris]

We'll do our best, to never let you down.
We're up to the test, to turn this world around!

[Chris]

Here we are, going far, to save all that we love;
If we give all we've got, we will make it through.
Here we are, like a star, shining bright on your world;
Today, make Evil go away!

Here we are, going far, to save all that we love;

Here we are, like a star, shining bright on your world;
Today, make Evil go away!

Ulrich finished up the song on his keyboard, and when he was done, Tamiya stopped recording.

"Thanks, guys." Milly said.

"No problem, ladies." Jeremie said as Milly and Tamiya walked out of the auditorium. The team then left the Academy to go get that hot tub for the Hermitage.

That's chapter ten. Y'all know the procedure.
