Preview of Part 2: Before It's Too Late

Sunlight shined down along the German mountainside. The snow glistened and sparkled. The landscape was picturesque and stunningly beautiful. There was a slight breeze that rustled through the needles in the trees. It would have been the perfect spot for a picnic in the summer. A loud BANG resounded across the mountainside, disturbing the peacefulness.

Ulrich raced by a Megatank on the Overbike as the monster charged up again. It turned to fire when a line of large ice spikes rose out of the snow, stabbing the metal monster through the target. Taelia twirled her wrist around, her purple wings glowing vibrantly as she hovered overhead. The spikes rose into the air. Aelita and Draco, their own wings glowing as well, flew by the spikes. They flourished their wands, and the spikes followed them. Aelita flew down to the left where Ron and Neville were struggling against some Tarantulas. She shot her spikes down, impaling and destroying the monsters. Ron and Neville ran forward and jumped down a small cliff to where Luna and Yumi were battling some incessant Krabs. Yumi's fans flew through the air and sliced one of the Krabs in half. She used telekinesis to send the fans into the backs of a couple Hornets that were shooting at Harry and Odd. The wings were sliced off of the Hornets, and Odd used the opportunity to flip over Harry and shoot Laser Arrows in random directions. Harry set them ablaze, increasing their impact radius. A Laser Arrow missed a Hornet and flew into the back of the head of a Kreeper. Ulrich grinned, drew his katanas, sped the Overbike forward, and sliced the remaining Kreepers' heads clean off. He sped around another Megatank as Aelita hovered, holding its beam in place. Triplicating himself, the second Ulrich jumped onto the Megatank and stabbed the target. The third Ulrich tumbled forward on the ground and began kicking Kankrelats into the air. One flew high enough that Draco grabbed it like a Quaffle and threw it back down to the ground. He carried his spikes towards the manufacturing plant that X.A.N.A. had under his control. He spun away, allowing the spikes to continue their forward and downward momentum. The spikes encountered a shield barrier and broke apart.

"Damn!" he shouted, spinning away from the laser fire that began focusing on him. "The barrier is still preventing us from getting into that plant, Jeremie. How close is Ben to bringing it down?"

"Well, to say he encountered resistance would be an understatement," Jeremie replied into his mike. He glanced at what the others had encountered on the Sector 5 replica.

Dozens upon dozens of Kreepers had converged on the group as they approached the tower controlling the barrier. William Super-smoked his way around the room, doing what he could to avoid the fire, tackling Kreepers that were getting too close to Ben, and knocking them into the pit below. Sissi used her cables to create a dome around her and Ben, allowing them to move, albeit slowly, closer to the tower. Ben used limited bursts of the anti-X.A.N.A. program to coat the cables so no monster could touch the dome. Screams of several Flying Manti filled the room as they entered from the pit below. Their mines flew at the dome, their explosions causing it to dismantle. The remaining mines flew towards Ben and Sissi.

"Depulso!" Hermione shouted, riding over on the Overwing and dressed in a menacing red and black outfit. The mines flew back into the Manti, instantly destroying them. She spun the vehicle around and raised a Shield Charm around her to block the Kreeper laser fire. Ben sprinted for the tower, somersaulting around the Kreepers firing at him. He entered the tower. Seconds later, the flame on the tower turned blue.

"Barrier should be down now!" Jeremie announced. "Time to send in the big guns, Mr. Clevenger."

"Copy that, Mr. Belpois," Professor Clevenger replied. "Be there in ninety seconds!"

"Sissi, head back to the Hring and start transferring as much data from the supercomputer as you can," George said. He stood next to Jeremie with his own laptop hovering in the air in front of him. "The rest of you, prepare to join the others in Switzerland."

"Understood," Sissi replied, jumping onto the Overboard that had materialized in front of her.

Harry blasted the remaining Hornets out of the sky, speaking into his earpiece, "Everyone, converge on the plant. Aelita, Draco, Taelia, clear our path from above."

"On it," Aelita replied, charging up her Energy Fields. Draco met up with her as they flew towards the plant. He locked hands with her. When they felt the energy build up enough, they thrust their hands down, shooting pink and green Energy Fields at the ground. When they hit the ground, they became Energy Shockwaves, spreading out in all directions for several meters and destroying any monster within range. As they got closer, the laser fire from the plant increased. Taelia flew in front of the pair, forming an Energy Shield. The laser fire bounced off the shield and ricocheted back at the plant.

Harry, Ron, Luna, and Neville created waves of water out of the snow. They conjured wooden boards for everyone to ride the waves down to the plant. Ulrich raced out in front, katanas drawn. Black smoke appeared around Ulrich when they were approaching the outer wall. William, Hermione, and Sissi solidified through the smoke.

"Bombarda Maxima!" Hermione yelled quickly. The wall exploded into the plant right before the Lyoko Warriors and Dumbledore's Army charged through the opening that was made. Several monsters were caught unawares as they were immediately destroyed.

"Big guns arriving in three, two, one!" Jeremie announced. From overhead, golden mist gleamed from above and landed in the center of the plant. Aelita's black and pink Camaro screeched out of the mist, the Elder Wand flying out of one of the windows. The main difference to Aelita's car was that a rocket launcher/flame thrower had been fitted into the trunk. Seamus's grin gleamed brightly as he doused the nearby monsters in flames. Electricity covered the hood of the car as Ben raced out in specter form. He sped around, knocking down monsters for the others to destroy.

With the laser fire diminishing towards them, Taelia lowered the shield, and Draco and Aelita both sent out spells at the roof of the largest building. The holes formed were large enough for them to fly into the building uninhibited. They landed on the ground and looked around. The sunlight that was streaming in was the only source of light. The lights suddenly all kicked on, revealing lines upon lines of robots surrounding them. The metal suits raised their arms to fire.

Can't put url's interestingly enough. So, you can find Part Two: Before It's Too Late on my profile. It's the only other published story of mine.
