Ratchet and Adrien were just on their way to Kadic Academy. Ratchet was in his holo-guise and is going to use "John Darkstar" as his name. Adrien was given a haircut so he still look like he was coming out of an AFJROTC class from a school in Florida and will be using "Bruce Pera" as his name.

Just a recap. Adrien Tavirez was arrested for ties to the UDF, but there was no proof. He was given a different option and he decided to help INTERPOL with a few things. Some of it was conspiracy related, some of it was family related. All of it was okay for him. Some of he Tavirez mob are located in France in a war with the Cooper gang, one of INTERPOL's allies. Adrien had no problem with helping INTERPOL because the mob he is associated with is becoming corrupted. He was given this task first because INTERPOL and some newer allies as well are able to handle the situation. Anyways, back to the story.

Soon everything was set up. The two were put in the same classes so they could help eachother with different things. This was the schedule:

Period 1: Algebra 2

Period 2: Biology

Period 3: Computer Programming(Adrien will help Ratchet on this one)

Period 4: P.E.(Adrien will have trouble on this one, eventhough he is pretty slim, there are some things that he is gonna hate, same with Ratchet)

Period 5: Lunch(Adrien will meet with Jeremie at this time to set up a time and get him and Ratchet access to the VR game)

Period 6: Literature(Adrien's least favorite subject, he will get bored from time to time)

Period 7: Swimming(Ratchet's Holo-guise is waterproof so no problem there, Adrien is going to have difficulty getting in the water right away as he's used to warmer temperatures like for example, Texas.)

The rest is for hanging out and Dormitory time.

The two came in late into the academy as they had to get things set up. They ended up going to P.E. class. Right now students are learning how to do parkour. This should be a piece of cake.

"Hey, guys, we got two new students here. Both are coming in from America. One of them seems like JROTC." The Gym teacher said.

Adrien was definitely going to hate this. He knows everytime JROTC is mentioned about him. He's gonna be given some commands like "Attention", "Left Face", "Right Face", "Forward March", and everything else that was gonna make him feel embarrassed.

"First the shorter guy, what's your name?" The gym teacher said.

"John Darkstar" Ratchet said.

Some people were laughing about the last name on that one.

"Now you, you seem nervous." The gym teacher said. "Don't worry, I wont get on you about that JROTC stuff."

The class was laughing about that. Of course, what the gym teacher said was a lie.

"So what's your name?" The gym teacher asked.

"Bruce Pera" Adrien said.

The entire class was laughing out of control.

"Pera, what kind of name is that" one student mocked.

"And I thought Darkstar was bad enough" another student said.

"Hey, fruity boy, do an about face for me!" another student mocked.

"All of you, shut it!" The gym teacher commanded.

"Don't bother, this is France, not America" Adrien mocked. "After all, we saved their butts in world war 1 and 2. I think the recent one was a bit crazy if you ask me."

"That recent one wasn't world war 3. I think theres another name for it." Said the gym teacher.

"Let's get to the parkour thing Bruce." Ratchet said to Adrien.

"Okay John. I wonder where wall running is." Adrien added.

"Hey, wall running is at your own risk" The gym teacher said.

"Parkour is at your own risk." Adrien said. He won the argument before there was one.

The two showed off some parkour moves. The class was already regretting laughing at them. Soon the bell rung for lunch. Adrien jumped off one of the higher platforms and landed safely. Adrien and Ratchet decided to chat in the gym for a little bit.

"So, would you like to do the VR thing as well?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah, why not." Ratchet replied.

Soon, some things were getting weird. The provided platforms were detached from the ground and started floating.

"Uh, why are those things floating? You have any clue?" Adrien asked.

"Let's get out of here!" Ratchet commanded.

The doors shut leaving them trapped inside.

Meanwhile somewhere in the campus. It appears that Elisabeth "Sissi" Delmas was flirting with Adrien's older brother.

"Hey Jacob, can we hang out sometime? Maybe get a drink?" Sissi asked.

"I'm good." Jacob said trying to get Sissi away from him.

"Is this about your brother?" Sissi said.

"See ya." Jacob said as his buttons were already pushed too far and he left. Ulrich Stern and Yumi Ishiyama has seen the entire thing.

"Wow, I guess he wasn't interested huh?" Ulrich asked.

"What did you expect, Sissi talked about the 2nd most wanted man by INTERPOL." Yumi said.

They heard some banging going on. It seemed to be coming from the gym.

"Meet me at the Cafeteria"Ulrich said. He ran for the gym. Meanwhile at the gym. Adrien and Ratchet were dodging as much as they can. Adrien has took a few whacks already.

"Well, I don't think the French would make something like this? You crazy?" Adrien shouted.

"You should've did research about this first!" Ratchet said.

One of the doors were forced open.

"What are you two still doing here, get out of here" Ulrich shouted.

Ulrich got the two out of there as soon as possible. They started to move to the cafeteria.

"Do you even know what you were up against?" Ulrich asked

"Well, I don't think we have the slightest clue why multiple platforms were floating and being tossed at us out of nowhere." Adrien said.

"What's your guys's names?" Ulrich asked.

"Well, I'm Bruce and this guy is John." Adrien said.

"Hi." Ratchet greeted.

"You two are new so what other reasons did you have to come here?" Ulrich asked.

"Well, we were looking forward to try out that VR thing." Adrien said.

"So that's why X.A.N.A. attacked you." Ulrich said.

"Xana?" Ratchet asked.

"We'll tell you everything, but we need you to join the Lyoko Warriors first." Ulrich said. "Are you up for it?"

Both of them nodded in agreement.

"First, Bruce, I need to ask you the real reason why you went here, because XANA was throwing everything at you as if it was desperate to get rid of you." Ulrich said.

"I'm here to investigate an ongoing threat that acts like a virus and wants to take over the world." Adrien explained.

"So, thats why XANA attacked you despite not being part of the team, it wants to ensure it's desperate to get away from you." Ulrich said.

"So this virus he is talking about is XANA?" Ratchet asked.

Ulrich nodded and said, "We are going to introduce you to Jeremie so he could get you guys entered into that "VR."

While going to the cafeteria, Ulrich explained everything else. Soon they got some lunch, meanwhile, Adrien came across Jacob who seemed a bit suspicious.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" Jacob asked Adrien.

"Yes, I'm the cadet with the fruity name. Bruce Pera" Adrien said.

Adrien was still not happy about being the laughing stock. Some people took notice to the conversation. Since Jacob was the only one who didn't laugh in the gym because of how offended he was(keep in mind, he has a Portuguese name), people had one word going through their head. "Ouch."

Jacob Tavirez was not like the rest of his mob. He was friendly, compassionate, and he liked to help others when he had the oppurtunity. He was feeling bad for Adrien because he was the only one in the family who didn't join, but he was the first one in the generation to get arrested anyways, let alone, be the 2nd most wanted.

Ulrich, Ratchet and Adrien sat down at the table where Team Lyoko sits.

"So, who are the new guys?" Jeremie asked.

"Bruce and John. Bruce is the taller person with the buzz cut and fruit name. John is the shorter guy who is skinnier than a toothpick." Ulrich explained. "We were thinking about getting them into the team and help fight XANA."

"Alright, John first, which weapons do you like?" Jeremie asked.

"I like automatic rifles and a blunt melee weapon to come with it" Ratchet said.

"Put his melee weapon with a big wrench design." Adrien mocked.

"What about you Bruce?" Jeremie asked.

"I was thinking two pistols, and one melee weapon with a blunt hammer at one end and something sharp at another. Don't make the entire handle sharp, only the tip." Adrien said.

"Alright, you've been registered. You are also able to use those things in the simulation." Jeremie said. "You guys need to eat something before next period. Not counting you out Bruce, you look like you are about to pass out."

Adrien hasn't ate anything for a few days. He does drink lots of water and he does drink coffee which is culture for him. However, he didn't eat much for a while, instead of the usual 150 pounds he weighed, he was down to 120 so he basically has the same weight to height ratio as Ratchet right now. Adrien decided to pack his up as he wasn't feeling like it right now. Ratchet ate the food and didn't like it much. With that, Adrien would might as well go to the store with the money provided by INTERPOL.

Next up: Literature. Topic: Shakespeare. Ratchet was interested in it. Adrien, on the other hand, his head looked like it was going to explode. Once question time started, Adrien asked a question that had a lot of students agreeing with him. "Why do we have to read the same *Censored* that our parents read, our grandparents read, our great grandparents read?" Adrien went on about that. He was escorted to the Dean's Office for the next hour so he missed swimming class. He has gained some reputation by the students and some of the younger teachers. Not many people liked Shakespeare, who would argue with that. He was really sent to the Dean's for foul language, disrupting the class, and annoying the teacher about it. Who knew thar was an option. Soon, Adrien and Ratchet got to their Dorms.

They used the one Adrien ordered, it was for only two people so that way it's only their business. Ratchet was calibrating his holo-guise while Adrien was doing some homework for the both of them on the laptop that Adrien ordered from Sam's Town. Spoiler, he can't use Skype because the camera was broken anyways. Right now, they are speaking to eachother in English because Adrien had enough speaking French for a day.

"Keep in mind, some people know this language so if we refer to eachother as a name, use our fake names." Adrien whispered to Ratchet.

"So, do you have any ideas of what this virus is capable of?" Ratchet asked.

"Well, if it can manipulate anything, even someone's mind, through electronics, I would suggest you watch out for it. It is visible when it springs out so it should be easy to see. If it is capable of doing such, I would suggest you keep that device away from XENA." Adrien explained. "However, I have to watch out too because I am using this earpiece for listening to INTERPOL. We need to get ready to go to the simulation anyways, so I suggest you hurry up."

So, I found a format to make things easier. Starting Chapter 2, I will use the format SpaceCat97 is using. That way, I can have different characters narrate. So for example. if I were to put on the chapter "POV: Adrien" Adrien will be narrating. If it's "POV: Ratchet" Ratchet will be narrating. When I run out of ideas, I will rewrite the last story along with this chapter being priority. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed.
