Chapter 1

Jeremy woke early, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he climbed out of his bed. He got dressed quickly and prepared for the first day as a high school student. Once dressed in his red long sleeved shirt, brown pants, and brown shoes. He put on his glasses and made sure that his blonde hair was neatly brushed. Walking out of his dorm room he headed to the coffee machine that was the meeting place for the six of them. Standing there already were William and Ulrich having a heated debate, probably about Yumi, like they did every day. Ulrich was wearing his usual pale green jersey, jeans and light jacket over it, his brown hair brushed to look presentable for school. William had on his black shirt, dark blue pants, and a tan jacket with his black hair standing in its usual spikes.

"No you won't William." Ulrich said, meeting his angry glare. Until a few years ago William had been taller than Ulrich but now they were the same height which made Ulrich seem an even match to William. Jeremy just smiled and bought his usual cup of coffee and waited for Aelita to show up. Not long after Aelita walked over wearing her knee length dark purple dress and pink leggings that complimented her pink hair.

"Good morning Jeremy." She smiled as she kissed his cheek and proceeded to buy her coffee.

"Morning Aelita." He smiled. They then watched as Ulrich and William continued to argue as Odd walked up with his usual goofy grin. He was wearing his purple bell bottom pants and purple sweatshirt with a pink shirt underneath. His blonde hair stood straight up with its trademark purple diamond in its center.

"Morning Mr. and Mrs. Einstein." He laughed, using the usual nickname he had used for them since they had first met "Those two having the usual argument?"

"Yes." Jeremy laughed as they watched. As they continued to fight unseen Yumi walked over. Her black hair was brushed nicely and she was wearing her black long sleeve shirt and her black pants that were ripped halfway between her ankle and knee on one leg.

"So what is going on?" she asked.

"The usual argument." Odd answered.

"Oh really? Well I guess I better end it." She smiled as she walked over. She then leaned over and hugged Ulrich and whispered something inaudible to him.

"Good morning to you too Yumi." He said, his facing turning red.

"Good morning Yumi!" William said as he moved closer.

"How many times are you two going to have this argument?" she laughed.

"Until one of us is the clear winner." They said at the same time. They all started laughing then, simply enjoying the friendship they shared. The bell then rang signaling that class would be starting soon. They all said quick goodbyes as they walked off to their classes; these were the LYOKO warriors, the unknown heroes of earth.

"Class we have a new student joining us at Kadik." The homeroom teacher said "Please welcome, Erik Getz." After a short applause the teacher continued "You may take the seat next seat next to Jeremy." He then walked down the aisle and took his seat with almost every girl in the class watching him. He was tall, around six feet tall with dirty blonde hair that was brushed flat. He had glistening blue eyes and a small nose and mouth. He walked with an air of confidence and seemed to ignore all of the looks that he received.

"Hello." He said as he sat next to Jeremy.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Jeremy smiled.

"Let's try to be friends." Erik smiled. The class then continued uneventfully but at the end as Erik walked past Aelita she felt an unusual chill, one that she hadn't felt since she had been on LYOKO, it felt like XANA.

Once school was over Aelita told Jeremy of what she had felt.

"Aelita, it couldn't be XANA. He's been destroyed." He said.

"I know. But I can't shake this feeling like something bad is about to happen." Aelita said as she shivered. Then a being sound came from Jeremy's labtop, a sound that they hadn't heard on a long time.

"It can't be." He muttered in disbelief.

"What is it?" Aelita asked, worried about what was happening.

"It's XANA. He activated a tower on LYOKO." He answered "Call the others and have them meet us at the factory." He said as he ran to the sewer system that would take them to the abandoned factory that housed the supercomputer and the way into LYOKO.
