Gary's POV:

I knew something was wrong the instant I landed on Lyoko.

The first thing was that Kelly & Tori weren't around to see my almost perfect landing. Although, I'm actually sort of glad that nobody saw me run into a tree as I tried to keep my balance. The other thing was that I was able to see the school a little ways away.

I wasn't so sure I was in Lyoko at all…

"Jeremy?" I called. "Can you hear me?" I spoke as loud as I felt I cold with out the other students hearing me. For what ever reason, instead of being in class, they were hanging out like it was the weekend. Most seemed to be heading for the gym, so I followed them to maybe figure out what was happening to me.

"Good afternoon everyone! Kadic Academy is very prod to welcome you all today for this grand skate board championship…" Jim kept talking, but I tuned him out as I noticed a couple of kids sitting near Jim. I was able to clearly tell that one of them was Ulrick, but he looked like he was my age!

I glanced back up at Jim as he blew his whistle. "All right, into the pipe, all of ya!"

I quickly fond a spot on the bleachers to watch the competition. I couldn't help but wonder who Ulrick was talking to, but apparently he was very good at skate boarding…Maybe it's Od?

"There you go! The perfect combination of exceptional skills & incredible elegance!" he said. Yep, it was definitely Od as a teen. "In a word, classy."

"Hey Od, great run out there." I didn't recognize the girl who came over.

"S-S-Sam?" Od asked as he fell off his board. "How are you?"

"Not bad."

"Now that was real class." Ulrick said.

Tori's POV:

"There are several Krabs coming up on your right." Jeremy said.

"Great! It was getting a little too easy." Od said. We all got ready to fight…only to have the Krabs walk past us & start attacking the tower.

"Um…is that normal?" I asked.

"Probably about as normal as the tower itself." Kelly said. "Aren't they supposed to be red, not green?"

"Jeremy, are you sure that you sent us to the right tower?" Ms. Stones asked.

"That's what the scan picked up." he said. "But if XANA wants to destroy it, then it might be in our best interest to keep it safe."

Looks like we'll be fighting after all…

There's just a quick little thing I forgot to point out in the last chapter. This story might be a little bit shorter than the others in the series, because this story is mostly helping me fill up some holes that I've been meaning to fill, as well as dig some new ones. But of course, that doesn't mean I'm anywhere close to being done with this story. I'm just getting started!

Please review!!!
