Code Lyoko: Coda

Big Welcome Party

♦♣♠♥♠♣♦~CHAPTER 4: JEREMY~♦♣♠♥♠♣♦

I yawned and hit the enter key on my keyboard. I'd been working all night on a new Lyoko program. I was just about to shut off my computer when Coda suddenly appeared on my screen. "Jeremy!" She sounded upset.

"What's up, Coda?" I asked.

"I'm in trouble." She sounded out of breath. "XANA has activated a tower in the Desert Sector and is after me. Somehow he managed to get a monster into Sector 6 and I had to leave to get out. I'm in the Mountain Sector right now, but I'm about ten seconds from the Desert Sector Way tower." She said.

"Alright. I'll get the others and send them in. Hold on for just a few minutes and we'll be there." I hung up and ran out of my room, grabbing my laptop bag on the way. I reached Ulrich and Odd's room in no time and started knocking on the door. Ulrich opened it and yawned.

"Coda's in trouble." I said. He nodded and ran back in to get Odd. "I'll get Aelita, you two call up Yumi and grab William." I said. I bolted upstairs, heading for Aelita's bedroom. I knocked on the door and she answered quickly.

"What's up, Jeremy?" She asked.

"Coda's in trouble on Lyoko. We've got to go." I said. Aelita nodded and came out. We both ran for the lab. We beat the others to the sewers and ran. We'd done this trip often enough we still remembered it perfectly.

We both ran in. First we stopped at the super computer and I set to working. "Coda? I'm here. Aelita will be there in just a minute." I said.

"Great. But that's not going to be enough." She replied. She yelped and I pulled up the map. She was in the Mountain Sector heading towards the Way Tower to the Desert.

"Jeremy, I'm ready." Aelita said though the intercom.

"Alright. Transfer Aelita. Scanner, Aelita. Virtualization." I hit enter. "Coda, Aelita's been Virtualized somewhere near you." I told her.

"Great." She replied.

"Coda, can I connect you to the supercomputer? That way I'll be able to see you health points and track you on Lyoko." I asked.

"Sure. Do I have to do anything or..." I asked.

"Nope. I'll handle it, but you might have to let me connect." I started typing and suddenly Coda's image appeared on my screen alongside Aelita's. She had a few more heath pointed than the others total, but currently she was running low.

"Coda, I've got you on my screen but you've got very few health points left. Get to a tower and step on it." I warned her.

"I would but I'm kind of having trouble going anywhere. Have you ever been attacked by Crabs, Tarantulas, Mantas, a Scyphozoa, and XANA himself all at the same time?!" She shouted at me.

"Ya, alright, I get the picture. You're in serious trouble." I said. The elevator door opened to reveal all the Lyoko Warriors.

"Hurry up. She's in major trouble." I said. "Aelita's already there..." My computer started beeping. "And there's an activated tower in the Desert Sector where Coda is headed." I said.

"Great. Let's go." Odd said. They headed down to the scanners and I started up the Virtualizatoin Process. "Transfer Yumi, Transfer Odd, Transfer Urich. Scanner Yumi, Scanner Odd, Scanner Ulrich. Virtualization." I hit enter. "William, your turn. Transfer William. Scanner William. Virtualization." I sent William.

I glanced at Coda's heath points just in time to see her lose 20. "Coda, you've only got 40 life points left. 2 hits and it's game over." I warned her.

"I feel sorry for any monster that hits me twice." She muttered. Aelita finally joined Coda on my screen. There was a good number of monsters behind them: two Crabs, three Tarantulas, three Mantas, the Scyphozoa, and finally XANA on one of the Mantas.

"Hey Jeremy, where are Aelita and Coda?" Ulrich asked.

"Still in the Mountain Sector." I replied. "They should be there soon though." I said.

"I hope so. Without Aelita we can't deactivate the tower." I heard Ulrich mutter.

"Girls, where are you?" I asked.

"Just about to the tower. We can see it, but Jeremy, Coda's in trouble. She's really out of it." Aelita said.

"Hurry up, the monsters are about to catch you." I warned them.

"We're almost to the tower." Coda answered.

"Hurry up." I said. The two of them entered the tower together.

"Made it." Aelita said.

"Let me get my life points and we have to run. XANA can still enter the tower." Coda said. The tower was activated and Coda's life points were replenished. "Alright, let's go." She said.

They both teleported to the Desert Sector and I switched to the boys. "Guys, they're on the way. Just a minute and they'll be there." I said. "Along with a bunch of monsters." I added.

"Wonderful. A big party?" Odd asked.

"Oh ya." I warned.

"Great." Odd said happily.

"Sure Odd. Remeber, the priority is Coda. She loses all her life points and she's gone for good." I warned.

"Thanks for a reminder I didn't need. I can see the boys, Jeremy. Aelita and I are almost there. XANA is right behind us, and I mean he's already through the tower. The monsters might take longer, but he's a problem." Coda said.

"Ya. I can see him on the map. Hurry up, he's gaining." I warned, almost shouting.
