Senses

He kissed her lips gently whilst bringing her body closer to his. Her hands explored the body in front of her and as he kissed her more passionately she moaned. He went to take her shirt off but his mobile started ringing.

"Ignore it," She spoke softly.

"I can't its Odd"

"Hey Odd, great timing" He spoke sarcastically "What! You're joking aren't you?...ok…………………yeah I'll grab Yumi shouldn't be hard………………………….yeah she is with me……………ha-ha very funny…………….. ok ok I'll see you at the old factory"

"What's a matter?" Yumi asked her boyfriend

"Its x.a.n.a jeremie thinks he's back" Ulrich said while slipping his shirt back on

"WHAT! That's impossible we shut him down 5 years ago when we materialized Aelita" Yumi said in a panic

"Jeremie reckons some kids have been messing about at the factory and turned him back on, he saw a report on the web about a bunch of kids found graffitiing the factory so he reckons they might have explored and messed about therefore turning x.a.n.a back on but we've got to hurry the factory is a good hour away from us" he said rushing out of the door with Yumi not far behind him.

AT THE FACTORY:

"Hey sorry we were so late but we live ages away now" Yumi said panting

"Hey you two long time no see" Aelita said hugging her two friends

"Yeah we know." Ulrich said whilst he and Odd were sharing a one-armed hug

It was true that after they had graduated that they had failed to stay in close contact with each other apart from Jeremie and Aelita who like Ulrich and Yumi were dating so therefore never lost contact. They did hear from each other from time to time but only a for a 5 minute phone call to ask how each other were.

"So what are we going to do then?" Odd asked flicking his now chin length- purple streaked hair out of his eyes

"Yeah what are we gonna do jer?" Yumi asked concerned.

"I dunno guys I have to see if x.a.n.a has launched an attack if so I'll have to transfer all of you to lyoko deactivate the tower, shut him down and then destroy all of this equipment to stop it happening again….."

"Wait if you don't know that x.a.n.a has launched an attack how did you know that he had been awoken?" Ulrich asked

"That would be because of me I sort of felt it as though there was still a link in me that connected me to x.a.n.a and I felt him awaken in me." Aelita said sadly brushing a finger through her now long pink hair

"Oh" was Ulrich's only reply

"So what are we waiting for?" Odd leaped up

"WAIT!" Jeremie yelled "there's something you must know some of these programs are old real old they could be faulty so something might go wrong I've checked everything on the software but the fault could be on the hardware,"

"So this could be goodbye?" Yumi asked shakily kneeling down on the floor nervously fiddling with her khaki mini skirt. Ulrich kneeled beside her comforting his girlfriend.

Yumi hugged Ulrich and she gripped his white shirt.

Ulrich stood up

"I'll go first jer that way we know if something happens during the transfer" Ulrich said bravely making his way to the elevator

"Wait!" Yumi ran to him and hugged him "I love you Ulrich, I will never stop loving you Ulrich,"

"I love you too Yumi," Ulrich sighed letting go of Yumi "Jer lets do this"

"You are too brave Ulrich but ok I'll transfer you now"

Once Ulrich had got to the scanner room he heard the usual sounds of jeremie and he stepped into the scanner bravely waiting for the worst to happen

"Transfer Ulrich, scanner Ulrich virtualization"

"Well?" Yumi practically crying

It seemed as though jeremie was holding his breath

"Yumi I can't seem to find him on the holomap….."

"NO!" Yumi cried

"Then it seems as though you've got a faulty holomap" Ulrich's voice ringed through jeremie's speakers

"ULRICH! Thank god you're ok I mean you do feel ok don't you? And your weapons are all ok? Aren't they?"

"Yes jer everything is fine just one thing though..."

"Yes?" Jeremie asked starting to panic

"What is with this mingin' style? My hair its horrible I cant believe I used to go about like this!"

"ULRICH! Don't panic me like that again for a joke I'm serious, anyway the scan picked up that x.a.n.a has activated a tower it's in the desert region I'm going to send the other's"

"Scanner Aelita, scanner Odd, scanner Yumi, transfer Aelita, transfer Odd, transfer Yumi Virtualization"

The three of them landed gracefully onto the lands of lyoko next to Ulrich who looked relived that nothing had gone wrong for them either.

"Get to the tower as fast as you can" Jeremie's voice rang out to them

They ran following the pulsations that was leading them to the activated tower

"Knew it" Odd said stopping "LAZOR ARROW!" his arrow blew up one of the crabs that were in the path.

"Guess it's woohoo it's us time again" Odd said to Ulrich who merely nodded before running and blowing up another crab. Yumi whipped her fan into the air killing yet another crab

"How many is left guys?" Jeremie asked since his holomap wasn't working anymore

"5 jer" Yumi shouted while jumping up and flew her fan into another crab "make that 4"

Within minutes the crabs had been destroyed and they were able to continue their journey to the tower.

"Uh-oh" Aelita whispered

10 mega-tanks blocked their path to the tower which they could now see

"TRIPULATE!" Ulrich and his 2 other clones ran forward but only managed to kill two before his clones were destroyed

"YUMI USE TELECNESIS TO GET AELITA OUT OF THE PATH OF THE MEGA-TANKS WE NEED TO DEACTIVATE THE TOWER SO WE CAN RETURN TO OUR NORMAL LIVES AGAIN. HURRY!" Ulrich yelled killing another mega-tank but getting hit in the process. Odd was doing well but only had 3 more arrows left

"Yumi do as Ulrich says it's makes sense, we'll make sure that Aelita or you doesn't get hit I'll be ok just do it." Odd said destroying another mega-tank

Yumi nodded and Aelita was soon in the air. The mega-tanks tried to stop this but the last few was killed off by Ulrich and Odd

"It's ok Yumi you can put her down the mega-tanks have been destroyed" Ulrich said

Aelita was placed back down only a couple of inches before the tower. She entered the tower

"Jeremie are we going to return to the past?" Aelita asked him

"There's no need to nothing out of the normal happened so it's ok just de-activate the tower and then we can destroy x.a.n.a once and for all"

"Ok"

Aelita entered the code: lyoko

Once everyone had travelled back to the factory from lyoko they destroyed everything, they even had fun, destroying everything that had caused their lives in school to be so secretive, yet they were sad, as they had fun time kicking x.a.n.a's butt even had fun when they had to return to the past so they could stop the mistakes and embarrassing situations they had gotton themselves into.

After they had destroyed everything whilst thinking of all the good and bad memories they had had from these experiences with x.a.n.a they sat down together in silence.

"We should have stayed in closer contact then we have been you know after all we've been through together you would have thought that we would have been close our whole lives wouldn't you?" Odd asked sadly

"Yeah I know but I suppose our college and uni lives took over" Ulrich replied quietly

"How about we try and stay in contact? Even spend weekends together?" Yumi asked

"Yeah that would be good" Jeremie replied as Aelita nodded

Enthusiastically.

"That would be cool" Odd said

"Yeah it would, have the old gang back together again" Ulrich said smiling.

"What you smiling for?" Odd asked him

"Just thinking about some of the times we shared together," Ulrich replied looking down at his watch "Oh shit, I hate to say this Yumi but it's 2am and we've got classes at 8am tomorrow"

"Oh I guess we had better go" Yumi replied rather sadly

"Yeah our classes start at 9am tomorrow," Jeremie sighed looking at Aelita

"How about yours, Odd?" Aelita asked

"I'm ok my Friday classes don't start 'till 12 but I had best be going my room mate might wonder where I've disappeared to he's a right nosy twat!" he exclaimed

And with that the 5 friends got up and left to wherever they had come from with promises of meeting up the following day at some well-known café
