Hey Everyone,

Thank you for all of your support and reviews on my stories. If you have any ideas just make your own story. I'm not putting an end to Loeh too soon. Please R+R and enjoy.

Jeremy sat in the middle of his room. His legs were crossed and his eyes were closed. In front of him lay his bostaff and 2 keyboards. His room was unfurnished, but thousands of blue screens filled the room.

Some of the screens had pie charts and some had fluctuating bar graphs. A couple had updates on his friends regarding hit points and such, while a couple others showed the stillness of the Loeh landscapes.

Everything was perfectly quiet in that eerily lit room, until a clock on Jeremy's left gave a quiet, peaceful, chime announcing 1:30 am.

But Jeremy's attention was drawn to the globe on his right. The floating globe was what he thought Loeh looked like, and right now the forest region was pulsing red.

"XANA," Jeremy whispered with a smile. He turned to face the globe as he grabbed a keyboard and placed it on his lap.

With his left hand, Jeremy began to type away. Faster and faster until it was impossible to keep up. With his right hand he touched the forest region of the globe. The region expanded into a detailed digital map.

"Any idea as to what the tower's for," Aelita asked sneaking into the room.

"Not a clue," Jeremy replied causing another screen full of calculations to appear in front of him. He watched the calculations scroll through for a minute before opening another screen to type hypotheses on.

Aelita nodded as she sat down her back to Jeremy. She picked up the extra keyboard and began her own search. "Everything seems normal so far."

"And I've located two possible towers," Jeremy said hitting enter. Aelita turned to look over Jeremy's shoulder at the towers' location on the digital map. "They are both close, but the problem is that they are in opposite directions. The good news is that I think I have a new program that I would like to try out."

"What kind of program did you make this time?" Aelita asked.

"This is a deactivation program, but it still has a few bugs that I don't think I can fix. With this program, anyone will be able to partially deactivate a tower."

"But if they only partially deactivate it, that means that XANA will guard that tower more closely,"

"But it also assures us which tower to deactivate and then we aren't making our offense teams so small,"

Aelita nodded. "We don't have a lot to lose," she said as she covered her mouth as she yawned.

Jeremy smiled. "We'll head out in the morning," he said giving her a kiss. "Get some sleep."

Aelita smiled. "All right," she said giving in. "You get some sleep too."

"I'd love to, but for some reason, I can't. No matter how hard I try. I think that when I virtualized myself I became a little more digital then human and I therefore don't need as much sleep."

Aelita sighed as she got up. "All right. See you in the morning," she said walking out the door and sneaking down the hall, for fear of running into a very strict, angry, sleep deprived Jim.

Jeremy smiled as he turned back to the many screens and continued typing again. He pulled up a document that had a list of upgrades. "Nicholas's upgrade program. Done," Jeremy said checking it off. "Download starting . . ." Jeremy said as a little popup screen with a bar on it appeared.

'5 complete' it read.

"That should be done, and over with, by tomorrow morning," Jeremy said with satisfaction.

Touching the screens he moved them off to his left and pulled up a couple of new screens. "Now to figure out XANA's real motive . . ."

The clock ticked on, the only other sound in the tiny room, was Jeremy's constant typing.

The clocked finally chimed 7:00 am as another pop-up popped up. The tiny screen began to flash red.

"What on Earth?" Jeremy asked as he pulled the screen a little closer and enlarged it. On the screen was a tiny animation of Ulrich's body to show where bullets hit in a battle. Next to the body was a bar for Ulrich's life points.

Jeremy watched the bar as for no reason, it began to steadily drop.

"What's going on?" Jeremy asked. "This doesn't make sense," Jeremy muttered in alarm as he grabbed his bostaff and rushed down the hall.

Back in Jeremy's room, next to Ulrich's screen, a new screen popped up and began to flash red. This screen was similar to Ulrich's, but instead it had an animation of Odd . . . and his life points were steadily falling . . .
