[IC] Code Lyoko: XANA's Return

[gamer5910]

Flippy watched as Aelita walked out of the tower, and wondered how? After hearing she was greatful for what they did Flippy heard her ask how do they leave "Hey Josive how do we get out of hear?" Flippy asked trying to look around trying to find anything that may be an exit. Something then popped into his mind "oh i forgot my name is Flippy. Over there is Bella and Jared, and Josive is.... Around let's say that." He told Aelita.

[Alternax]

A disembodied voice spoke up, with no clear origin, Jared looked to his allies and noticed the confusion on their faces as well. As the voice spoke again Jared immediately recognized it as Josive. He spoke of Aelita, apparently he was tracking her position, Josive began to tell everyone that Aelita was coming out of the tower. Turning to face it Jared witnessed her exiting the tower, seemingly walking right through it. It looked like someone had stepped on a puddle of water. As she asked how to leave Jared began to speak up. "Well probably the same way we got in. Josive hit whatever button you pressed to send us in here." Jared stated into the sky as he was unsure what direction to face.

Garsin set Jim in what smelled to be a small janitor's closet. After setting him down Garsin gave a sigh of relief as he stretched his muscles out."Hope this will hold," he though to himself as he finished situating Jim inside and shutting the door. He then continued to be led by the two as they searched the dorm for others.

[Gambit]

Bella looked around, trying to find where the voice was coming from. After a moment she realized that it must be Josive, he must have found a microphone. She looked back at the tower and gasped when she saw Aelita stepped through the seemingly solid stone wall. "Yep, I'm Bella," she said with a wave after introduced her, but she realized that she didn't have any clue how they would get out of this place. She hadn't had time to think about that during all the fighting. She was starting to feel really nervous until the other two pointed out that Josive should be able to somehow bring them back with the super computer. "Yeah, can you get us out?" she said out loud, hoping that Josive was able to hear them like he could Aelita.

[Teknonick]

<Lyoko Warriors>: "Um... that's great guys, but, those robots are still here. They're outside the elevator now, I've been hearing them drop down for awhile. They've started back up recently, and are banging on the door. If I got you guys out of there, we wouldn't be able to get out of this mess anyway. That video we watched said something about the tower being a source of power for this XANA... and the computer said one was activated recently. I think you guys need to take Aelita there, and let her deactivate the tower. I see here... the tower is to the north. You will have to traverse the terrain a bit to get there though." Josive replied to everyone. "Wait, you mean we have to stay here longer?" Aelita said, not even having responded to everyone introducing their names. Or possibly not caring. "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to go home and forget about all of this. You can do all of this on your own." she said, plopping herself on the ground where she was. "But Jeremy said that you, Aelita, have to deactivate the towers." Josive said. "But that can't be me. I don't remember my name... but I know it isn't a silly one one 'Aelita'." she pouted. "Well, looks like you have two options then. Help us, or stay there and defend yourself from the monsters. I see three more coming from over the ocean in the distance, so you'd better make your decision quick." Josive continued. Aelita sighed, standing up and shaking her head. "Fine, whatever. I'm done with everyone after this though." she said, pushing herself past Bella, Jared, and Flippy.

[Gambit]

"Hmm," Bella hummed, thinking. "Okay, this tower sounds like our best bet then. Once we deactivate it the robots should stop right?" But Bella was taken aback by Aelita's harsh words. Why was she being so rude? They had just saved her! Didn't that deserve a little respect? "Well I apologize that we're risking our lives just to rescue you," Bella said coldly back to her, following but lagging back a bit so she wouldn't have to walk too close to the girl.

[Alternax]

Jared nodded in agreement as Josive layed out the details of their mission. It came as a surprise to Jared to hear that Aelita didn't want to leave, as demonstrated by her pout and as she sat down. After a few more words from Josive Aelita seemed to spring into action again, this time with a little more harshness around her. She certainly demonstrated her discomfort about the situation when she rudely pushed past her saviors. What an ungrateful sun of a b... Jared's thoughts were interrupted as Bella began to voice the same thought only better worded. Jared followed after them hoping to pick his other weapons back up. Turning his head slightly to Bella he began to voice a question. "Is Aelita really that bad of a name?" Jared asked, it was a fairly unique name but it seemed fine to him.

[Gambit]

"Sounds alright to me, nothing's wrong with it," Bella replied. She looked up at the girl walking away from them then turned back to Jared. "I have no idea why she's being so nasty. From what I've heard around school the kids sounded like decent people. Supposedly they were sticking up for the younger kids all the time. No one mentioned anything about any of the missing kids being so rude." Bella sighed. "I guess I can kind of understand though. Being locked inside this place must really mess with you after a while. Still, I hope she cheers up soon."

[gamer5910]

Flippy was not expecting that kind of reaction from someone he heard was so nice. "Well whoever said she is was a big liar." he thought to himself before shortly after being pushed passed by miss grumpy pants herself Aelita. "Okay you know what?" We came here to save you but if that doesn't make you happy then go back in that tower and pout by yourself all alone, so either change your attitude and we save you or your stay grumpy and we leave you. Your choice." Flippy told Aelita.

[Teknonick]

<Lyoko Warrios>: After everyone made comments about Aeilta, she sighed and turned around as she walked backwards. "Right. I'm sorry everyone... it's just waking up in a place like this, and being attacked by monsters.... I can't even remember half of anything. I barely remember Kadic Academy... but I don't remember my friends, or who I was. Everything is such a blur, I don't know what to think." she sighed before stopping. She looked at the ground before kicking it with another sigh. "I'd rather forget this whole incident after it's all over." she said before turning on her heels again. "Monsters are getting closer, get a move on guys. I say you have about a minute before they're on top of you, but then your'll be getting pretty close to the next tower." Josive told everyone. Aelita shook her head as she sprinted off again, "Don't blame me." she muttered under her breath. "I think these things that are coming after you fly, because they're moving over the water, then over land, then back to water without and change in their pace. I'd keep an eye to the skies once you have sight of the tower." Josive warned everyone.

[Jollan]

"Where should we go now?" Garsin asked as he lumbered behind the other two. He kept his hand on the wall and listened for their footsteps to follow them, but he could tell he was slowing them down. "Should we call police? We won't have to explain the situation to them and they would still come here."

[Alternax]

As Aelita gave off a response after everyone responded to her behavior Jared began to understand. I guess we're being to hard on her. After all, nobody just wakes up in some strange place with no memories. Josive began to speak up again, this time with more information on the incoming monsters, and a time limit. Seeing Aelita sprint off Jared followed after in a similar fashion, with the loss of his armor he felt considerably faster. "Flying enemies? We were barely able to handle the land enemies." Jared mumbled to himself, glancing up to the sky every few seconds.

[Gambit]

Some of Bella's frustration dissolved upon hearing Aelita's reply. "Don't worry, we'll be out of here soon," she said. Though she thought it was weird that the girl couldn't remember anything. Maybe once we're in the real world again her memories will come back, she thought. Bella glanced up at the sky when she heard how close the monsters had gotten. "Shoot," she muttered. They didn't have much time left. She ran after Aelita and Jared, hoping that they would get to the tower before the monsters caught up to them.

[gamer5910]

Flippy was pleased to hear Aelita apologize and he felt different about Aelita. He realized that she might have a reason for nagging at them, but none the less Flippy was still worried about the flying monsters since he can't really do much attacking in his current state with his only weapon not working. "Well we should get going if were gonna be able to avoid those flying monsters." Flippy said to everyone.

[Teknonick]

<Garsin>: "We already tried the police. They said they've been hearing complaints very similar all over town." Hiroki said with a sigh. "Look's like we're on our own." he added. The three of you continued along, until the sounds of a battle was heard up ahead. "Hey guys, I'm coming to help you, but I can use some help over here myself." a voice called up ahead. "Hey, it's one of the other new kids. They're up in Mike's room!" Hiroki called out. He rushed ahead of you and Johnny. <Lyoko Warriors>: As the heros went on their way to the tower, the monsters nearby moved in on them. By the time the tower was in sight, the monsters were within firing range. "Okay guys, take the left up ahead. If you go straight it will be a dead end." Josive called from wherever he be. The flying monsters... appearing similar to the mini-crabs... flew past the heros without firing, before turning up ahead and coming back with their stingers charged up. "Go go go go!" Aelita yelled in fear as the lasers came down on everyone. Each person had a chance to react to the lasers, as the monsters had swept around before firing... so depending on their actions in response to that will either give them an edge, or be swept away by the dangerous barrage from above.

[Gambit]

Bella's first instinct was to use her paints to try to blast the flying monsters away. She dipped her brush into the red paint and waved it into the air. I hope this works, she thought as her fire wall blazed towards the creatures.

[gamer5910]

Flippy saw the monsters closing in and his first instinct was to use his sword, but he remembered that it doesn't work. He saw Bella cast another wall of fire and it hit him "That's it!" he said to himself. Flippy drew his sword and threw it into he fire wall hoping his theory was right. The sword shortly after dropped back down and Flippy caught it in mid air admiring what he had done. The sword was on fire but the fire wasn't burning through the wood! Flippy took to hsp is stance with the sword and sliced the air causing the fire to luanch off heading towards the flying monsters.

[Jollan]

Garsin made it to the room that they heard the shouting from. He got there as soon as he could to help, but it seemed Hikori had done in most of the robots, except one that Garsin heard and he stomped on it.

[Alternax]

Jared watched as his allies came up with creative ways to either defend themselves, or take down some of the enemy. He was easily impressed by the 'fire wall' and the 'flaming sword' shots, Jared pondered setting his own blades on fire or perhaps throwing them into the air. However Jared decided to stick with what he knew and slipped into a defensive stance with his swords, both of which he recollected from the previous battle.

[Teknonick]

<Lyoko Warriors>: Bella's attempt to launch the fire wall towards the monsters helped somewhat. It managed to block some of the oncoming lasers, but not all of them. The wall was also slow enough for the flying monsters to easily dodge it. Flippy's sword attack proved more successful, striking one of the monsters just after if flew through the fire, killing it before bouncing back to his hand. Jared's defensive stance didn't provide a source of attack upon the oncoming enemies, but it did serve well as he managed to block all the oncoming attacks. Bella's firewall, sadly, was so far away now that it wasn't protecting her from the rest of the lasers coming at her, allowing one shot to hit her in her arm holding her brush. Flippy's rapid firing of the fireballs towards the monsters left him open to two shots, hitting him in the chest, and one in the leg, before he could send off enough fireballs in hopes of hitting any of the monsters. Aleita continued her sprint without the others towards the tower, but was left open entirely. Two lasers came in union, hitting her in the back and sending her to the ground, rolling dangerously close to the edge. The explosion from Flippy's earlier attack then scattered the monsters, breaking their formation, forcing them to retreat a distance before being able to regroup. The monsters then turned around after they had given themselves enough distance to regroup themselves, giving Jared (The only one having not been hit) the only chance to retaliate against them before they come within firing range again, before having to enter another defensive stance. The other three would have to take their time to recover before risking an assault with the lasers baring down on them, or immediately into a defensive stance after their recovery. "Hey guys, be careful! You should know every time you get hit, you lose life points. Once you reach zero, there's no telling what could happen. Each of you lost ten points during the last fight. Bella, you just lost twenty more points with that one shot, and Flippy forty with those two! Aeilta also lost forty! So I'd say... Bella, you have seventy points. Flippy, fifty points. Jared still ninety. And Aelita is left with only forty! I suggest you guys group together and defend each other, rather then spreading out and trying to take them all out by yourselves." Josive announced to everyone. Apparently the pain from the lasers wasn't enough...
