It was just another day at Kadic Junior High. Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie were in Mrs. Hertz class listening to her translation of the Periodic Chart.
"This is boring." Odd whispered to Ulrich, "I mean, what's the significance of knowing what Uranium is?"
"I know." Ulrich replied.
"Hey maybe we could go around the school and say, 'Watch out. The earth is covered in a highly flammable liquid that is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen." Odd said, a little bit too loud.
"Thank you Odd." Mrs. Hertz said in an annoyed voice, "But I can assure you that water in not flammable." The class laughed at Odd as he gave a big smile and scratched the back of his head.
"And since you know so much about the periodic table, maybe for homework you can find out what H2O2 is, and write a one page report on its usefulness." At around that time, water started seeping through the bottom of the door. Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie looked at each other.
"You don't think?" Odd asked Jeremie.
"It's possible." Jeremie replied.
"Jeremie." Ulrich said, "You go run a scan. Odd and I will check it out." So Jeremie, Ulrich, and Odd left the classroom. Jeremie went to his dorm and started the scan.
"Is there anything wrong Jeremie?" Aelita asked him, when she saw that the scan was in progress.
"I don't know. Keep your eyes peeled Aelita." Jeremie replied. Meanwhile, Ulrich and Odd traced the water to the boys' bathroom. They opened the door and took a peek. All of the sinks were stuffed and the water was running in everyone of them. The water was overflowing.
"Uh-Oh, someone left the water running." Odd said. Ulrich rolled his eyes. They turned off the water and unclogged the sinks, so the water could drain. They had just gotten finished when Jim walked in.
"Aha!" Jim exclaimed, "Caught red handed. Wait until the principal hears about this."
"Jim!" Ulrich and Odd shouted in surprise. Ulrich continued, "Listen, we didn't do it. We just turned the water off and unplugged the sinks." Ulrich pointed to the sinks to show that the water had drained.
"Well, Do you know who did do it?" Jim asked.
"Nope." Odd said, "We were wondering the same thing."
"Well then, get back to class. You did enough. Thank you for your help."
"Ok." Ulrich and Odd said as all three of them left the room. As they walked down the hall they passed an outlet (a place to plug cords into). Xana, a semi-transparent black gas likes cloud, waited until after they were out of sight before appearing. He went into the bathroom, and up the faucets of one of the sinks. The sink turned itself on, and water spewed out of it. Ulrich and Odd however, did not go back to class. Instead, they went to Jeremie's room.
"It was nothing." Odd said, "False alarm."
"Oh really." Jeremie said as he pointed to his computer, "Than explain this." Ulrich and Odd looked at the computer in shock. The scan had picked up an activated tower.
