Whoa! I haven't updated since August?! Crap... I'm behind... I'm sorry... My house is still getting construction done... I just typed this in about an hour. Anyone seen the cutscenes for the new Sonic The Hedgehog game? They worked out so well, that if the game's a dud... they could alway turn the cutscenes into a movie... I like how well written they were. I cried on some... XD... no seriously. Well, enough chit chat, here's the seriously long awaited chapter 5 of "X.A.N.A.'s Virus"... oh and thanks to everyone for the reviews!
Beastboy blinked and stared around at this new world around him... It was like a desert... but it was in platforms with an endless abyss where it would be if you fell.The sky was a golden yellow, and the scenery was nothing short of beatiful... even if it was a desert.
"Welcome to Lyoko..." said Odd, who had become somewhat of a large purple and gold cat. "This is where we fight X.A.N.A on a basis of... pretty much everyday."
"It's simply beautiful!" Exclamed Starfire."Truly, absolutely stunning!"
"You may think this now..." Said Yumi, who now looked like a Japanese geisha. "But after you see what your in for... you might reconsider..."
"Why?" Cyborg questioned. "What are we up against?"
"Odd... you tell them..." Said Ulrich, who looked now much like a samurai.
"Okay..." Odd began. "See... the setup of Lyoko is and is not kinda like our own earth we know and love... we have four basic regions: Desert, like this one we're in right now... Ice, kinda like Antartica... Mountains, like Mont Blanc... and my favorite: Grassland type. Here we call them sectors. But, unlike Earth, we have monsters here. There are ten basic kinds: Bloks, Creepers, Guardians, Hornets, Kankrelats, Krabes, Mantas, Megatanks, The Scyphozoa, and Tarantulas. They basically look like what they sound like...any questions so far?"
Beastboy raised his hand.
"Yes... The green guy..."
"What do the Guardians, Kankrelats and the Skipa-thingy look like?"
"Well..." Aelita joined in, she now looked like a pink elf-like princess. "The Guardians are big spherical objects that surround you in a force field, you don't want to get caught in that... the Kankrelats look like a small, big headed machanical four-legged spider. And the Scyphozoa is, simply put... like a big jellyfish... hence it's name."
"Oh... couldn't you call cal it 'JellyFish'... or something easier like that?"
"I dunno... I didn't name it..."
"Then who did?"
"-Hey! I was talking here!" Exclamed Odd, a little annoyed that he had been interupted.
"Sorry..." Everyone unisoned.
"Anyway..." Odd continued. "Each monster has this symbol on it somewhere..." He drew in the sand with his paw something like a target with three spokes at the bottm, and one at the top... giving it the appearence of an eye. "This is called 'The Eye Of X.A.N.A.', and this is like the bullseye for us... hit it and BOOM! No more monster. This works for everyone of them except for the Scyphozoa... he backs off..."
Beastboy blank stared.
"The 'JellyFish' thingy?"
"Yes..." Odd rolled his eyes. "The 'JellyFish' thingy."
"Oh... Okay, dude... I think I got it."
"Good..." They hears Jeremie's voice from somewhere. "Because we can't afford to waste anymore time."
"Okay... how are talking to us like this?" Beastboy looked around.
"Oh, c'mon... are you kidding me?"
"No..."
Jeremie sighed heavily.
"I have a headset hooked up to the system, so I can keep in touch with you guys..."
"Really?"
"Yes... Really..."
"Coooooooool..." The changling laughed.
"Oh, Can we just go now!?" Exclaimed Odd.
"What? I'm not stopping you..."
"But-"
"Odd! Just drop it." Said Jeremie. "We've already wasted enough time as it is."
"But-"
"Just go!"
"Fine..."
"Bravery... What are we gonna do?" Happy whispered in a scared tone.
"...I-I... dunno..." For the first time she could begin to recall for the life of herself... Bravery was at a loss of what to do.
"What's the matter, Bravey?" Knowledge cooed mockingly. "I thought that this was your area of expertise? Not giving up, are we?"
"N-no..."
"Sure looks like it... no matter... if you do... It'll be a hell of a lot easier on you and Rae... wouldn't you think?"
"NO!"
"It's only a matter of time before X.A.N.A wins..."
"SHUT UP!"
Bravery jumped at Knowledge, attempting to backhand her. The bespecled doppelganger waved a shield of ebony energy in front of herself effortlessly. Bravery snarled angerly, and tried again... only to be blocked again.
"Ah, ah, ah." Knowledge singsongishly sang as she waved her index finger from side to side tauntingly. "You didn't even give me a fair warning..."
"Screw your fair warning!" Bravery brought her other hand back in another attempt to smack her yellow twin, only to be blocked, yet again.
"Language... Bravery... Language..."
"SHUT UP!"
"Y'know... all this time you've spent coming after me, you completly turned a blind eye to Happy..."
"Oh. Shi-"
Bravery really needn't finished this sentence, as at that moment she felt herself become engulfed in swirling, black, misty, energy that was not her own. It snaked it's way around her, binding her arms to her side, and causing herself to go rigid. Straining against her bonds, she threw a lothesome glare at Knowledge, who was grinning evily as this happened. Bravery mouthed "How could you?" at her as the mist began to fuse to her, the last thing she heard was Knowledge's manaical laughter as her world faded to black.
Not really my best... but I hope it'll do for a climatic build up... CLIFFHANGER!
