"What do you mean Ulrich's missing? Where's he gone?" Odd asked again for the numerous time.

"Is there anything that can tell us where Ulrich might have gone?" Yumi asked concerned.

Yumi and Aelita had been told by Jeremy to deactivate the tower so the return to the past program could be activated. Now everyone, except Ulrich, was in the factory standing around the supercomputer and Jeremy, hoping that Ulrich was ok and that he could be found and brought back home.

"I've tried everything Yumi. Even Aelita has been searching in the tower after she deactivated it. There is absolutely no sign of Ulrich being on Lyoko. And the supercomputer keeps a record of who was virtualised and devirtualised and when." Jeremy replied looking more worried than before.

"I think I know where we can find the information we are looking for, but it's going to be tough to get there." Aelita said. This shocked the others as they looked at her confused.

"Why didn't you tell us before, Aelita?" Jeremy asked looking slightly shocked.

"Well, like I said, it's tough to get there. It also means that we will have to go into the heart of Lyoko." Aelita told the group sadly.

"Well where is the heart of Lyoko? There are only four sectors!" Odd asked interested in the danger part.

"Carthage." was all that Aelita replied. She then looked down at her feet.

"There is no fifth sector! I've checked! That's impossible!" Jeremy asked flustered, spinning around back to the supercomputer and typing away quickly.

"There is, but to get there we have to use a transporter orb and a password. SCIPIO. There's also a countdown that is activated once we arrive there." Aelita replied slowly, shuffling her feet.

"Wait. So we have to go in, fight the monsters that are around, find the information we need and get out! Against a timer!" Yumi asked her with a slight shock on her face.

"Well, kinda. We have between three to five minutes to find a key to stop the countdown. But it's got all the information of Lyoko in there, so it is a priority to go." Aelita said as she looked at her friends. "When am I going?"

"When are WE going, you mean! We ain't letting you go on your own." Odd said with a smile plastered on his face, "Plus it's a new exciting adventure for us. I'm going even if I ain't allowed! Don't worry Princess."

Odd always called Aelita Princess, which made Aelita smile every time. She looked at Odd and said:

"Thanks Odd. I knew I could count on you."

"You ain't forgetting about me now are you?" Yumi asked with a smirk on her face.

"Come on Einstein, fire up those scanners and let's go find Ulrich!" Odd said as he ran towards the elevator.

"Don't you think you lot should rest up first? Being on Lyoko twice in one day can have really bad effects on your health! I think we should get a good nights sleep and then go to Sector five in the morning." Jeremy said, knowing what his reply would be.

"Jeremy, Ulrich is missing! We need to go NOW! What happens if Ulrich is in Lyoko and Xana is torturing him? He might not last till tomorrow and then he might be deleted… forever." Yumi replied with a look of anger and sadness on her face.

Jeremy thought about this for some time, giving each of his friends a look and then thinking about Ulrich. This was enough to convince Jeremy.

"Fine. Get down to the scanners now and I'll virtualise you. But where exactly am I sending you? I don't have Sector five available on here!"

"May I do something on there, Jeremy?" Aelita asked and sat in the chair as Jeremy nodded. Aelita started typing away really quickly. Yumi and Odd just looked at each other confused because only Jeremy and Aelita apparently knew what the large amounts of code on the screen meant. Yumi had had to use the supercomputer twice on her own, but she entered a wrong code the first time. Jeremy had then given here a basic run through of what needed to be done, just in case he couldn't make it to the factory.

"There, all done. Carthage is now selectable. But it's best to send us to the forest region first." Aelita said after a couple of minutes furiously typing away. "I will be able to summon the transporter orb once I am on Lyoko." With that Aelita jumped out of the chair and Jeremy replaced her. Aelita, Yumi and Odd then ran into the elevator and push the down button and began to descend to the scanner room. Once there, they all chose a scanner and waited till Jeremy told them they could enter.

"Transfer Odd. Transfer Yumi. Transfer Aelita." Jeremy said over the intercom. The scanners started to blow jets of air around each of the three students inside each of the scanners.

"Scanner Odd. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Aelita." Jeremy continued as his screen started to transfer the data to Lyoko and the white rings started to ascend and descend inside the scanners.

"Virtualisation!"

Yumi, Aelita and Odd were launched into Lyoko for the second time that day. Yumi and Aelita wore their normal outfits, whilst Odd had his feline appearance. He wore a purple top with a picture of Kiwi, Odd's dog, on the front, purple pants and yellow shoes. He also had a long purple tail and what looked like purple claw gloves on his hands.

"Ow!" Odd said as he dropped down and tried to land on all fours, but failed and ended up flat on his face. "I guess I missed!" he replied as he stood up with a smile on his face and his right hand behind his neck, looking awkward. Yumi sighed as Aelita just giggled slightly.

"Come on, we've got to find Ulrich. This is no time to be fooling around Odd!" Yumi told him sternly. Odd shut up and nodded to her, as if saying sorry wordlessly.

Jeremy summoned the transporter orb to take them to Sector five by entering the password that Aelita had told him earlier. It looked like a large white bubble with a blue Xana symbol (which looked a little like a target with three extra straight areas on the base and one on the top) on the side, that held the three warriors inside quite comfortably.

Once the transporter orb had landed in Sector five, the countdown began. Luckily Jeremy was able to communicate to them and warn them about any monsters nearby.

"Yumi, three hornets on your left coming up quite quick!"

"Heeyyyaaa." Yumi screamed throwing her fans at the monsters, destroying quite a few. "Thanks Jeremy!"

Once all the monsters had been taken care of, the three disabled the key, with the help from Jeremy, and continued into what looked like the main centre of Lyoko. It was as if they were inside a very large, blue sphere which held smaller, lighter blue spheres around the main container where all the information about Lyoko was held. Aelita, Odd and Yumi managed to jump onto a platform that was coming past and running off when it stopped a couple of floors above. Jeremy's voice came back instructing Aelita what to do.

"Aelita, you have to walk close to the edge with your right hand outstretch as if your about to enter the code in a tower. But try and hurry, as it seems another countdown has begun."

"What exactly happens when this timer runs out?" asked Odd. What he didn't notice was the walls of the sphere seemed to move in some areas. Yumi did though and wondered what was happening.

Meanwhile Aelita had managed to find the screen and was sifting through the data that she was examining.

"I've found something! I'm downloading it to the supercomputer now Jeremy." Aelita said after a couple of seconds.

"That's good but you only have a few seconds left!" Jeremy replied sounding a little concerned at what would happen after the time ran out.

Yumi kept her eye on the sphere walls and noticed that something was trying to poke its way through. Odd finally noticed as well and got his three remaining laser arrows ready, just in case they were needed. Yumi got her fans ready as well as she sensed that whatever was trying to get through was going to attack them.

"Times up. A data stream has opened up and I am just getting your vehicles ready. What exactly is happening in there? Because I can see at least three of Xana's monsters that we have never encountered before coming into view." Jeremy said a bit too quickly than he wanted. But the others understood and was slightly shocked at what came out of the sides of the walls.

They looked like very large flat fish, like mantas, they were blue and white in colour and had Xana's usual mark, an eye, on their back. They began shooting lasers at Aelita, but Yumi blocked them with her fan while Odd used his last three arrows trying to destroy them. Yumi destroyed one of the Mantas with her fans and Odd managed to hit another with his final arrow.

"Drat! Hey Yumi, I'm outta arrows." Odd said as Yumi nodded. "And hurry up Einstein before they hit Aelita!"

The vehicles arrived and Yumi and Aelita jumped on the Overwing whilst Odd got on the Overboard. They then guided their vehicles into the data stream that had opened and was transported back to the forest region. Once there, Jeremy materialized them and told them to come up to the supercomputer as he had something he wanted to show them. And that it concerned Ulrich.


A/N – Well there you have it. I know a few of the details are wrong from the show, but they fit better into my story.

Well I got two reviews on Chapter One which I was very pleased and impressed with so thank you to those two.

Right, now I'm actually going to try and set a target to you all. I want at least three more reviews from you guys before my next update. Think you can do it? Prove it! Oh and I hope you're liking it so far. TTFN!
