Chapter 1: The New Student

A teenage boy with black hair wearing a blue t-shirt and camouflaged shorts groaned as he was on a train. He used to live in America with his parents and his mom died in an accident but thanks to some… Issues at home he has to go to a school in France called Kadic.

The thing is he is horrible with making new friends. He always gets nervous and he can't get himself to talk to others… It was because of his nerves that he was picked on the most in his old school and he's really not looking forward to it here especially since it's a boarding school.

The train was slowing down so he got his gym bag and got off when he saw a man in a red shirt and black shorts with brown hair and a bandage on his face, "You Cody Jackson?"

Cody smiled, "Y-yeah b-but I p-prefer CJ." He stuttered.

The man gave him a nod, "Well I'm Jim and I'm going to bring you to Kadic now any questions Co- I mean CJ?"

CJ swallowed nervously, "Not really." He got out shyly.

To say that it was an awkward walk to the academy would be an understatement while Jim was explaining the rules of Kadic Academy but CJ sighed in relief when he heard that he had his own room rather than a roommate so he unpacked his Gym bag and put the few books that he loved to read in the bookshelf before leaving the room locking his door.

He saw that his first class was science and the woman teaching it had grey hair and glasses wearing a white lab coat over her red shirt, "Class I'm pleased to inform you all that we have a new student." She said cheerfully.

The reactions were mixed some groaned; some looked interested while some didn't care.

"He's a student from America." She continued and now everyone was interested, "Now will you come in?" She asked from the door.

Swallowing nervously CJ walked in, "H-hi." He managed to get out.

The teacher gave him a smile, "You may call me Mrs. Hertz!"

CJ nodded, "I'm CJ and I'm from New York City." He said quietly.

"What I can't hear you!" Someone mocked but CJ didn't catch who said that while Mrs. Hertz narrowed her eyes looking around the classroom.

"CJ go sit behind Odd Robbia."

CJ blinked in confusion so she sighed.

"Odd, please raise your hand." Mrs. Hertz called out.

A boy with blonde hair raised his hand, he had a purple spot in his hair and he had purple clothing so with a nod CJ sat behind him.

Odd got into a conversation with an Ulrich kid who was a brunette that wore a light green shirt with a vest over it and cargo pants about being his roommate and CJ could tell that Ulrich didn't like that one bit when a girl with black hair that had a yellow hairband she wore an orange t-sleeved shirt with a yellow heart on it and a dark pink mini skirt over red/purple trousers with pink shoes.

CJ could see that she was a very shallow girl when she attempted to talk to Ulrich but after she left Ulrich called her a leech and he couldn't stifle a laugh that caused them to look at him which caused him to go red.

"Sorry." He got out.

Odd smiled, "So CJ you're from New York huh?"

CJ nodded, "Y-yeah I thought that this school would be interesting to go to." That was a lie of course. CJ didn't have a choice but to go to this school after something happened back home.

Ulrich shook his head, "Well I think you made a poor choice in schools CJ."

"Sorry." CJ said confusing them.

Odd chuckled, "But hey no parents embarrassing us so it's all good!" He put his hands behind his head.

At that point CJ forced a small laugh out as he thought about his parents before he smiled, "I-is it all right if I can hang with you guys? I mean I'll understand if you don't want to."

Ulrich didn't care while Odd gave him thumbs up.

It was after the bell rang that Odd asked Ulrich if the girl Sissi was available and Ulrich told Odd to knock himself out so CJ sighed deciding to get a drink and he made it there and put some money inside the machine at the same time as a kid in a blue shirt with blonde hair and glasses walked towards the machine.

"A-afternoon." CJ greeted as he pressed a button only to be electrocuted by a static shock coming from the machine which caught Ulrich's and Odd's attention.

"CJ you okay?" Ulrich shook CJ's shoulder as he blinked in pain.

The kid with the glasses held up three fingers, "How many fingers am I holding up?" He asked cautiously.

"Why are there three of you?" CJ asked dazed.

"I'll get him to the infirmary." Ulrich decided before turning to Odd, "You tell the teacher okay?"

Odd nodded and took off.

"You mind giving me a hand Jeremy?" Jeremy nodded and together they dragged CJ to the infirmary.

In a few minutes CJ was getting his blood pressure checked by the nurse, "Nothing too serious," She said, "Just a small electrical shock and some superficial burns."

CJ blinked in confusion, "Small electrical shock?" He deadpanned.

Ulrich chuckled, "You wanted to get some juice well you got some."

"Very funny."

Ulrich nodded, "Hey Jeremy do you mind keeping an eye on him?" He asked, "I need to head to my Martial Arts class."

Jeremy agreed and helped CJ out of the bed, "So CJ is it?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you new to the academy?"

CJ nodded, "Yeah I needed to get away from home for a while so I was signed up for the Academy." He smiled, "But electrocution is not what I had in mind."

Since Jeremy had to keep an eye on CJ they went to Jeremy's room where he was typing while CJ was doing everything in his power to not be an annoying little prick but he was failing epically while Jeremy was getting tired of his nervous behavior and habit of apologizing about everything.

After the seventh time Jeremy gave him a look, "Will you stop apologizing?"

"… Sorry." Then CJ did a face palm as he realized that he did it again.

"Are you always this nervous?" Jeremy asked as he continued to type.

"Y-yeah I'm not used to talking to people." CJ explained, "That's one of the reasons that I was sent to France so I could get a new start."

Before they could continue to talk Jeremy's computer started to go out with static showing, "Huh? What's going on?" Jeremy asked in confusion as he tried to press a button on his keyboard but the static cleared to show a red eye looking thing, "I've seen that Logo before!"

"You have?" CJ asked in confusion getting a bad feeling about this when the small robot that Jeremy had beside his computer started to act up and a second one did before they launched themselves at the two, "WHAT THE HECK?!" CJ shouted as he tried to get the robot off of him.

Jeremy screamed as the other robot was on his foot when the door was flung open to show Ulrich who was probably investigating the noise those two were making, "Hold on!" He ordered as he tried to get them off but the one that attacked CJ came in and zapped Ulrich's leg so he kicked it up before judo chopping it into the wall when they stopped working.

After a few seconds CJ looked at Ulrich, "Is that a normal occurrence?"

Ulrich shook his head before he looked at Jeremy, "You're little friends are pretty aggressive," He commented, "Maybe you should check their settings."

"I had nothing to do with it!" Jeremy protested.

Ulrich looked at CJ who put his hands up in surrender, "Don't look at me!" He defended himself.

"He didn't either!" Jeremy explained, "They just attacked us all of a sudden!"

"You lost me." Ulrich admitted, "Do you mind explaining?"

Jeremy sighed, "No, forget it."

"Come on tell me." Ulrich smirked, "Maybe I can be of some help, I mean what if you get attacked by a hairdryer and I'm not around?"

"Ha very funny." Jeremy countered.

Ulrich sat in Jeremy's computer chair, "I'm not leaving this room until you tell me what's up!"

CJ looked down, "I'll just go to my room."

"You mean to say that you're not interested in what happened here CJ?" Ulrich asked in shock.

CJ twitched a bit because he was interested but he didn't want to intrude on anything before he looked from Ulrich to Jeremy who decided to sigh at the moment as he closed the door, "First tell me if you two can keep a secret!"

In a few minutes the three of them were walking towards an abandoned factory, "The tunnel in the gym is a great way to beat curfew." Ulrich commented.

"Yeah and there's another one in the campus as well!" Jeremy explained

"How do the teachers not know about it?" CJ asked as they walked towards the factory and he had the feeling that a masked serial killer was going to kill them… Yeah he really needed to lay off those types of movies.

The others just shrugged at CJ's question before they walked through the entrance to see that the only way down was the rope which Jeremy did before he turned to look back at Ulrich and CJ, "What's the matter?" He asked seeing them hesitate, "Scared of heights?"

"Uh no!" Ulrich slid down begrudgingly while CJ swallowed hard.

"I am." He told them.

"Just imagine that you're walking on a sidewalk." Jeremy told him trying to help.

'He needs to get over his nervousness.' Ulrich thought shaking his head while CJ finally slid down.

In a minute they were going down through the elevator and it opened up to show a giant computer room that shouldn't even be there, "Whoa." CJ looked around in awe.

"Okay so that's the mega computer that you started up?" Ulrich asked giving it a look.

Jeremy nodded, "Uh huh, it's actually a supercomputer! It's ultra-powerful and while I was examining it I found out that it runs a virtual universe called Lyoko!"

"Lyoko?" CJ looked confused, "Why is it called that?"

"I don't know." Jeremy stood there thinking while the computer was starting up, "Someone did make it and gave it that name for a reason… But who?"

Ulrich chuckled, "This thing is just the control center of the factory that's all!"

Then a screen popped up showing a virtual girl with pink hair, "Oh yeah and what would you call this? A program for spraying doors?"

CJ just stared because she looked just like- 'No it couldn't be.' He thought shaking that ridiculous thought out of his head.

The girl didn't notice CJ's staring as she greeted Jeremy, "Hello Jeremy!"

"Who's the girl with the pink hair?" Ulrich asked in shock.

Jeremy sat down, "That's Mia, a form of artificial intelligence that lives on Lyoko!" He looked thoughtful, "I don't know what she's doing there yet-."

"Don't mess with me!" Ulrich interrupted, "You programmed her right?"

"No." Mia said, "I woke up the moment that Jeremy started up the Supercomputer and I don't know who I am." She admitted, "My memory has been erased."

Jeremy continued with his explanations, "Mia has to hide in some kind of Tower and as soon as she leaves it she gets attacked by monsters! You both have to believe me!"

"I believe you!" CJ said backing up because so far it's been so unbelievable that it has to be true.

Ulrich didn't give up, "What if it's just a giant videogame?"

Jeremy scoffed, "Then it's a very dangerous game! My robots are programmed to just go fetch a ball and they attacked both CJ and I!"

"Thank God you didn't program them for fighting." CJ muttered.

"And before the attack I saw the logo that the monsters had on Lyoko on my computer screen."

"So let me get this straight!" Ulrich said suddenly, "The creature that wants to kill Mia wants to kill you as well?"

"That's what it looks like!"

"Then why not shut it down?" Ulrich suggested, "If it's so dangerous?"

"But what about Mia?" CJ asked forgetting his nervousness for a second, "We can't just leave her!"

"Yes and I want to help her understand what she's doing on Lyoko!" Jeremy put in.

"Say what?"

"I do!" Jeremy smiled, "And if I'm right we can materialize her on Earth!"

"Whoa!" CJ looked at Jeremy in shock, "That would be awesome if you could do something like that… I'll help!"

"What makes you think you could?" Ulrich asked curiously and Jeremy had the two of them follow him to a room with three pods, "What's all this?"

"Scanners!" Jeremy explained as he studied the inside of one, "I still haven't found the program to bring Mia on to Earth… But I dug up one that allows a person to be scanned and sent to Lyoko!"

"Seriously?" CJ looked at the scanners in surprise.

Jeremy chuckled, "Seriously. In fact the Supercomputer analyzes your molecular structure through these cabins before breaking your atoms down, digitalizing them and creating a digital carnation in the digital world!"

"… In English?" Ulrich asked and CJ couldn't help but agree with that one.

Jeremy sighed, "You go inside the cabinet and you're teleported to the Virtual World!"

"Jeremy these things don't exist yet!" Ulrich scoffed.

"Yet they're right in front of us!" CJ grinned widely, "Let's test it out!"

"But we're going to need a guinea pig!" Jeremy pointed out and that's when Ulrich smirked.

"I have the perfect one!" He ran off, "I'll be right back!"

As he left CJ looked at Jeremy, "You know who he was talking about?"

Jeremy shrugged in response before he smirked, "You're not nervous anymore." He noted.

CJ scratched the back of his head, "I guess the excitement of finding out what's going on helped." He admitted before he smiled looking at the machine, "But seriously if this works then it would be so awesome!"

"But you need to keep it a secret!" Jeremy said sternly, "We can't let anyone find out about this!"

"Don't worry Jeremy!" CJ said with a smile, "I promise to take this secret to my grave!"

Chuckling Jeremy walked up to the computer room while CJ stayed inside the Scanner room when Ulrich came back after a few minutes with a dog.

"… Okay, where the heck did you get that dog?" CJ asked in shock.

Ulrich chuckled, "This is Kiwi! This is Odd's dog!"

"… And he's the test subject?" CJ asked in shock while Ulrich left the room.

"Who better?" Ulrich asked as he left.

"… If PETA here's about this we can get in a lot of trouble." CJ muttered when he heard footsteps and he looked up to see Odd and Sissi, he was more shocked to see the latter but he swallowed, "Odd what are you doing here?"

Odd narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing to Kiwi?!"

"And more importantly where's Ulrich?!" Sissi shouted and if this was an anime both Odd and CJ would've done a face plant.

CJ put his hands up in defense, "I didn't know he was going to bring your dog here!" Then he thought about that, "… I didn't even know you had a dog to be honest."

Odd shook his head and walked into the scanner to pick Kiwi up, "You okay boy?" But Kiwi jumped out of Odd's grasp right as the door closed on him.

"Oh boy." CJ muttered before he ran up to the shaft that led to the computer room, "STOP THE PROCEDURE!" He shouted but the noise of the machine was cutting him off.

~With Jeremy and Ulrich~

"Transfer Guinea Pig!" He pressed the button and it showed a human cat hybrid with spiky hair, "Scanner Guinea Pig-Wait… That's a weird looking dog."

Ulrich's eyes widened in shock, "That's no dog… That's Odd Della Robbia!"

"I don't know how to stop the procedure!" Jeremy panicked.

~In Lyoko~

Odd appeared inside of a Forest area in his Lyoko form which was him in a purple cat costume with cat paws and a swishing tail. His hair was spiked to go straight up.

"OUCH!" He shouted as he landed, "W-what's going on here?!"

Odd looked around in shock.

"Where am I?" He asked as he got up before looking down, "… And why am I dressed up like a giant purple cat?!"

"Odd Della Robbia?" A voice called out of nowhere causing Odd to jump a foot into the air.

"Who's calling me?!"

"It's me, Jeremy Belpois!" The voice answered.

"Is this a joke or something?" Odd asked to the sky since he couldn't see Jeremy.

"Uh no."

~In the scanner room~

Ulrich came down, "Sissi?!" He asked in pure shock.

"Ulrich!" Sissi called out in happiness.

"You couldn't make sure you weren't followed?" CJ asked in annoyance.

Ulrich rolled his eyes but Jeremy's voice cut him off, "Ulrich it's okay! Odd is safely in Lyoko!"

CJ sighed, "That's a relief."

~With Odd in Lyoko~

"Am I in a Video Game?" Odd asked in confusion, "It looks like the set from Ninja Fighters III!"

"Actually I don't know." Jeremy admitted, "It's a virtual world that much I do know."

Odd looked around smiling, "Cool!" Then he was blasted in the back so he turned around to see some weird potato like creatures on legs with an eye symbol on their face crawling towards him, "Uh that's a lot less cool." He muttered as he rubbed his back where he was shot.

~In the Scanner room~

"Ulrich! CJ! Della Robbia is in danger!" Jeremy told them, "and I need time to devirtualize him!"

"He needs help." Ulrich nodded, "Do you think you can send CJ, Sissi and me to Lyoko?"

Sissi looked paralyzed with fear from that while Jeremy answered, "Well, I can always try."

"What? Send us where Ulrich?" Sissi asked in shock.

Ulrich smirked, "To a virtual world where real monsters want to massacre you!"

CJ knew what he was trying to do so he joined in, "And they want to use your bones for rituals!"

"You wanted to go out with me so here's your chance!" Ulrich offered knowing what her answer would be.

Sissi coughed and waved a hand, "No thanks, I prefer real world not the other kind! Plus I couldn't miss cheerleading practice tomorrow morning!"

Ulrich rolled his eyes, "What about you CJ?"

CJ swallowed nervously but he forced a smile, "What? Do you think I would abandon my friends?" Since he never had any friends he spent time watching TV shows and he remembered a line from one of them since he finally made friends.

'Those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.'

Nodding Ulrich got into the Scanner while CJ got into another one, "See ya chicken!" He taunted Sissi as the doors closed.

"Transfer Ulrich. Transfer CJ." The Scanners started to glow, "Scanner Ulrich. Scanner CJ. Virtualization!"

~Inside Lyoko~

Odd was running from the potato monsters when Jeremy spoke up, "Odd! Ulrich Stern and CJ are on their way to give you a hand!"

"Great! I was getting bored here all alone!" Odd said with a smile as the two virtualized above him.

Ulrich was in a black and yellow Samurai outfit with a sword on his side while CJ was in green and black spandex for some odd reason.

"OUCH!" They both cried out when they landed.

"Wow! This sword rocks!" Ulrich commented as he swung it around.

CJ felt something on his back so he grabbed it to show a pure black shield with a blue circle with an x going over it and another circle over it, "… What am I? Captain America?"

"Who's Captain America?" Odd asked causing CJ to stare in shock, "What?"

"… You don't know who Captain America is?" He asked his voice making it sound like it was sacrilegious.

Odd just shrugged

"What about Spider-Man? Power Pack? Avengers?" When Odd shook his head CJ sighed, "When this is over I'm going to introduce you to the Marvel Comics."

Odd shook his head and looked at Ulrich, "Why do you get to be the Samurai? It's so much cooler!"

"I don't know why." Jeremy commented, "Maybe the computer just reads into your own subconscious desires and projects them onto your own digital creations?"

"I don't dream about giant purple cats!" Odd protested, "What's more I'd rather have a weapon like Ulrich!"

"Hey the shield is a weapon too!" CJ protested.

"But I have these great big useless paws!" He clenched his paw and an arrow shot out of it nearly skewering CJ.

"HEY WATCH IT!" CJ shouted in shock after he moved out of the way.

"Hm. These arrows are pretty cool." Odd grinned, "I take back what I said!"

"Try to hook up with Mia in the tower!" Jeremy ordered before Sissi's voice came online.

"Who's this Mia?!" She asked loudly, "And what is this?!"

While Jeremy was explaining to Sissi Odd asked Ulrich, "So who's Mia?"

"A virtual girl who lives on Lyoko." Ulrich explained.

Odd looked happy at hearing this, "Oh! So there are babes here too? Great!"

"Yes but I get the impression that Belpois flipped for her." Ulrich told him with a smirk.

"For a virtual chick?" Odd shook his head, "Is he nuts?"

"Kind of." Ulrich chuckled.

"He really needs to get out more." CJ told them.

"Jeremy are you going to tell us the coordinates or not?" When there wasn't an answer Ulrich spoke up loudly, "Jeremy are you asleep or what?"

Odd looked to the left, "Well it could be that tower."

Ulrich sighed, "Let's get going then." The three of them ran towards the tower.

"Huh?" Odd leaned against it, "No door?" Then he fell through with a scream.

"… Huh and I thought finding answers like that only happened in Scooby-Doo." CJ jumped in after him being followed by Ulrich.

But it ended up with them falling through the dark part of the tower and being ejected from it… But they were in a completely different place.

"Where did the Forest go?" Odd asked in confusion.

CJ looked at another Tower that was far off, "Why is that Tower glowing red?" He asked

"I think we should focus on why we're in a frozen wasteland." Ulrich interjected.

"And those creatures." Odd muttered and the other two turned to see some kind of block on legs heading towards them.

"… What… The… Hell?"

"Might be a good time to beat it don't ya think?" Ulrich asked as one of the blocks shot a laser at them which CJ blocked with his shield.

Odd nodded and they took off running while CJ stayed in the back blocking the shots but in a second they were surrounded, "So much for beating it." Odd muttered.

Ulrich took his sword out and got in a fighting pose while Odd crouched and CJ held his shield closely.

Ulrich blocked a blast with his sword and did a neat flip before trying to kill the block but his sword just bounced off the block part.

"How do you kill these things?" Ulrich muttered.

"I don't know… Hey you wouldn't happen to know how many life points we have, do ya?" Odd asked but he was blasted and devirtualized.

"ODD!" Ulrich ran forward stabbing his sword in the eye part of the block making it explode, "Yes!" Then he was shot and devirtualized.

"Oh come on." CJ muttered as he blocked the shots before he got the idea to throw the shield and it bounced around hitting three of the blocks in the eyes killing them, "Sweet!" Then he was shot in the chest by a fourth one being devirtualized.

~In the scanner room~

CJ gasped as he fell forward holding his chest, "That stung." He muttered in pain.

"At least we're alive." Ulrich muttered as he stepped out.

"Alive?" Odd asked, "Well if you say so because I think I'm about to throw up."

Then they heard Sissi scream, "HELP US!"

CJ put a hand on his ear, "I'm sorry but her voice is seriously annoying."

Taking that in they climbed up to the computer room to see Jeremy being wrapped up in electrical wires while one was trying to zap him.

"HANG IN THERE JEREMY!" Ulrich picked up a metal piece of the wall that was on the floor and stabbed into the electrical wire but he was electrocuted as a result but he was blasted back so the wire went for him when Odd grabbed the piece of metal that was still in the wire.

"It works the second time!" Then he smirked, "I told you that you wouldn't be anywhere without me!" With that he finished the job that Ulrich started.

After that the rest of the wires calmed down and Jeremy went back to the computer while the others crowded around, "Mia, are you there?"

"Yes, is everything okay on your side?" Mia asked in concern.

"Well we're a little shaken up, but it could've been worse!" Jeremy said with a smile.

"Oi! You never say that!" CJ told Jeremy in anger, "Because the universe loves to mess with us."

To Be Continued…

So what do you think? Please review and tell me!
