The story is going pretty good, this is for me to follow it up. I'm trying to update faster than I usually do. Now … ON With the story. BTW thnx to Mystic Odd and Erik-Silver for the support and assistance with my story. You guys rock.
Oh yeah Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko
(Old Factory) No POV
Aelita and the gang waited patiently as they stood from the top of the factory entrance. "It's been way too long since we've been here." Odd said.
"To be honest, I was hoping we wouldn't have to ever go here again." replied Yumi. Ulrich nodded his head in agreement. The group got towards the ropes and swung down to the elevator just like they used to. The only difference this time is that they were all a little rusty. Especially Jeremy who landed with a harsh crack from his spine. Following a yelp of pain, the others couldn't help but chuckle at Jeremie's bad luck.
"Come on guys, it's not funny." He complained.
"Sorry Jeremie, but it reminds us of Jim." Odd replied between laughs. The roaring laughter died down as they all went into the elevator and went to the bottom floor. They all exited and examined the room not being on for about 10 years, give or take, can really collect some dust on the place. Jeremie went over to the switch and flipped it back on. The machine hummed lightly, then roared as the power surged through the circuits. Lyoko was up and running again, hopefully not for long.
"I'll check and see if everything is on the up and up." Jeremie stated, hopping into what used to be his commanding chair.
The others stayed in arch of the elevator. Jeremie typed as fast as his fingers could go, data flashing by at miles a minute. The group just looked and saw what's changed, nothing except maybe some more dust. After about 5 minutes, Jeremie had stopped typing and started up a program. "I started a super scan through Lyoko for any essence of Xana. Since he had his signature on William for so long, I cataloged it... just in case." Jeremie said shrugging.
"How long will the super scan take?" Ulrich asked curiously.
Jeremie sighed, "It'll take til about the end of the day." Everybody gave him wide eyes, his programs usually ran like the speed of light.
"Why so long, Einstein?" Asked Odd staring at the holomap.
"Unfortunately, the program is old and worn down. It would take too long to update, and if it is Xana I don't wanna waste any time." Nobody could argue with his statement, everybody went to the elevator as Jeremie finished an uplink on his own computer. A green plus appeared on his computer, and he was good to go.
"I synced up my connection to Lyoko again, that way we don't have to go back to the factory unless... well you know." he finished with some nervousness. They all rode the elevator back up to the surface and walked back to Kadic, with the feeling of nostalgia thrown to each of their minds.
Within 10 minutes, they arrived. Everyone looked at their alma mater of Junior and High school. Right before they all would've left for a their high schools, the school had some extra money and they decided to add on and make more dorms and make it a high school as well. They looked and noticed the new students, another new building made for the science department. As well as the new teachers that lurked around the campus.
Yumi looked around and formed a smile, "You know while we are here we might as well look around." Their heads replied with a subtle yes.
"How about we go see how Mr. Delmas is doing?" Ulrich asked. Yumi, Odd, Aelita and Jeremie all followed suit as they entered the office of their old Principal Delmas. They knocked on the door, and it opened slightly. Though, when they looked at who was occupying the office it wasn't the old man that was there.
"What can I do for you tod..." She stopped in mid sentence as she gazed at the figures that stood before them. Wide eyes covered everybody's face in the room. Nobody could actually take in who they were looking at. The woman that was in the chair had long black flowing hair, reading glasses, and a black and white work attire. It was the girl who made everybody's lives crazy in jr. high. It... was... Sissi.
Sissi blinked and rubbed her reading glasses against her clothes then back to her face. She wasn't dreaming. "Well, I honestly didn't expect to see you all here again." she stated
"We didn't expect you to be running Kadic, go figure." Ulrich replied.
"Well, I didn't exactly plan on it. My father wasn't up to the capability this job requires. He's in a retirement home near Paris, and he gave me the job." Sissi said with a tone of slight sadness.
Sissi shook it off and took her usual place as a busy person, "So is there anything you guys are looking for?"
They all nodded their heads no. "We mainly just came to see how your dad was doing, and see how many of our old teachers are still here." Odd said.
Sissi let out an oh of acknowledgment, "Well I'm sorry to say that most of our teachers are gone, too old or just resigned. Actually, speaking of teachers, I need to hire someone as a physics teacher this year. I don't suppose any of you would be interested?" she asked curiously.
The gang knew that Sissi was talking mainly about Aelita or Jeremie, since none of them had studied physics since their Kadic days. "I'm interested Sissi." Jeremie muttered.
Aelita just nodded, she didn't really want to come back. As much as she loved the memories, she wasn't a very good teacher. Her and Jeremie both agreed that he should take it. "Well good, talk to me at the end of the school day. I can get you set up by the start of next week."
Jeremie uttered a thank you as they all went out.
Nearby Restaurant(Yumi's POV)
We had all decided to hang out near town today, just in case. We got a big booth, Ulrich sat next to me and Odd to him. Jeremie and Aelita shared the other side. All of us scanned the menus. I wasn't sure about everyone else, but when I was looking I wasn't actually reading the menu. The waitress came by and we all just got some waters and a couple of pizzas. "Anything on your scan Jeremie?" I asked
Jeremie pulled out his laptop and started clicking away, shaking his head no the scan wasn't finished. It was driving me insane, not to mention making me paranoid.
Our food came, and my paranoia was temporarily ignored. Odd was putting the slices down his throat like they were about to be stolen from him. Ulrich patted his back.
"Odd, calm down. It's gonna stay there, nobody's stealing it. Well, except you." Odd chomped down three quarters of his current slice, and the last one and talked.
"I know, but this was always the best pizza in town. And since we live a couple of hours away now, I thought I'd take in as much of the town as I can."
The thought then hit me like a ton of bricks, if Xana was back then how would we fight him. We all lived in the same building, same floor apartments across from each other. If Xana launched an attack it would take us too long to get here.
It was about 2 by the time we finished, we all decided to go look around and meet back a the factory at 5. Ulrich and I went together, Aelita and Odd went together too since Jeremie went to the factory to see if there was something else he could use.
Next chapter will open on each person's position, thoughts, and I'll also start budding with some of the romance. Some questions for people to think about. Will Sissi still be looking to get Ulrich? Who will fall for who? And most importantly, Is Xana back? NOW R&R I want all I can get. I need at least 3-5 reviews or I don't update that's my new rule.
