Code Lyoko Season 0

Episode 2: Frenemies

By: James the Lesser

I do not own these CHARACTERS, Moonscoop does!

Campus

Ulrich is training for the next soccer game. Sissi is on the sidelines cheering. "Go Ulrich!" He makes the kick and the goalie blocks it.

"Good job Benjamin. Few can block a shot like that. Ulrich next time try leading with the other leg then switch at the last second. It can throw the goalie off just enough."

Elsewhere

Yumi is in the library working on homework. Her parents had been fighting that morning and she didn't want to deal with it. Odd sees her and walks over. "Hey, what you doing?"

"Homework."

"Oh, yeah, I got some of that. Did some of it even."

"Only some?"

"A C passes as well as an A." He sits down. "So who did you go with?"

"Where?"

"The concert."

"None of your business."

"Ooo is he even better looking than I am? Wait, that's impossible. Does he at least come close?"

"None of your business. I have homework and you're distracting me."

"Fine, I'll go see what uh, Jeremie is doing."

Dorms

Jeremie is talking with Aelita when Odd comes in with out knocking. "Hey Einstein any thing interesting going on?"

"Odd, knock first."

"Oh come on, oh, hey Princess."

"Hello Odd."

"Hey, wait, how do you see me? And Jeremie?" Odd waves at the monitor.

"With my eyes."

"No, I mean, no webcam. Can you just see through the monitor?"

"Yes." Odd looks at Jeremie.

"I have no idea how that works. If I turn the monitor off she can't see in here. Just part of the technology I don't understand yet."

"Cool. So any missions for Lyoko?"

"No."

"Too bad. I was hoping for some fun and excitement."

"Firetruck?" Both boys stare at Aelita confused. "I was reading a joke I found. A boy is asked what starts with f and ends in k and is fun and exciting? He answered firetruck and the adult he was with said the boy should be passed to another grade because he thought of another word that must have been incorrect."

"Uh, yeah, how about I review the websites you go to first? There are some dangerous ones out there and some have viruses. I don't know if the Super Computer can be infected that way but I'd rather not risk it."

"Ok Jeremie."

Later That Day

Ulrich runs in to Yumi as she was leaving the library. "Oh, hey. Um, how was the concert a second time?"

"I didn't go."

"Oh, you and Odd uh, just hang out?"

"No. He gave me his tickets so I could take some one else but you already were going with your girlfriend and you're the only person here I get along with." She blushes slightly. "Some times."

"Sissi is not my girlfriend. And I didn't go either. I already went and didn't think it would be as cool seeing it a second time."

"Oh, well, um, how about a rematch tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure. We're tied two and two right?" She nods. "So yeah, tomorrow after school. I would say now but I have a bunch of homework."

"I got most of mine done but the library started getting packed."

"For what?"

"Some book group I think. I didn't stick around to find out."

"Tomorrow. Don't miss it. I'll make sure I win."

"You got lucky."

"You got lucky Yumi. Your style is a little different but I've learned it and can beat it."

"If my hands weren't full right now I'd show you another style." The two walk away.

Streets

Yumi is almost home when she sees a streetlight spark then explode. "Xana." She throws her bookbag over the gate in to her yard and starts running for the Factory.

Dorms

Jeremie is getting ready for bed when Aelita appears on his monitor. "Jeremie! Pulsations, Xana is doing some thing on Earth." He was already in his pajamas.

"Great I was hoping to get some sleep. I've been staying up late and waking up early the past couple of weeks and was planning on going to bed early."

"Maybe he knew that and is keeping you awake."

"Sleep deprivation is a form of torture." Jeremie yawns. "I'll text the others and meet them there."

"Be safe." She disappears from the screen.

Factory

Yumi is already swinging to the Factory floor when her phone beeps. "Yeah, SOS Xana. Why does he always text me last?" She runs to the elevator and takes it down to the Control Room.

Sewers

Ulrich and Odd are far ahead of Jeremie who changed in to regular clothes before heading out. "Watch it Odd!" He almost runs in to Ulrich.

"Don't slow down and I won't crash you." Odd gets past Ulrich and goes over a gap. "Slow poke!"

"This isn't a race if you wreck and get hurt I'm leaving you there." Ulrich lets Odd get a couple meters ahead of him.

Factory

Yumi sees Aelita appear in the screen. "Hello Yumi. It has been awhile since you've been to Lyoko."

"Yeah, can't imagine why."

"Because Xana targets you. I don't know why since I think Ulrich is the much better fighter."

"Hey we're tied! And he only got lucky that one time."

"I understand that men are normally stronger than women but you are very strong and a competent fighter. Maybe Xana does consider you the bigger threat."

"What ever. I just need to ask Jeremie a question before he sends me." She taps her foot as she waits.

Few Minutes Later

The elevator runs and stops at the Control Room and Ulrich with Odd step off. "Jeremie isn't with you?"

"We thought he was already here."

"He was preparing for bed. He was tired because he has been up late and up early. The human body requires sleep for at least six hours but it should be eight hours according to most doctors."

"Yeah, common knowledge." Odd pushes past Ulrich as he walks over to the monitor.

"You look so much cuter on the big screen than you do on Jeremie's monitor."

"Cute is a compliment."

"Uh, yeah." Yumi and Ulrich both sigh and shake their heads.

"Really hitting on a computer program?"

"Hey our date went well but I've moved on." Yumi glares.

"I didn't go on a date with you."

"So what was that good night kiss?"

"You kissed me I didn't kiss you. I should have punched you after you did it."

"Just can't keep your hands off of me can you?" Yumi reaches for him but the elevator starts running.

"Jeremie's here. If you two don't kill each other maybe we can go deactivate the Tower." When the elevator doors open Jeremie steps out.

"Xana hasn't attacked any of us so I'm not sure what he is doing." He sits down in the computer chair. "So head on down and get ready for," He checks the activated Tower. "Desert Sector." Yumi puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Wait I'm wondering why do you always text or call me last?"

"Huh? Yumi, alphabetical order. O, U, Y. I asked my parents for a new phone and should be able to send a mass text soon."

"Oh, ok." She walks over to the elevator slightly embarrassed.

The others follow her on and take it down to the Scanner Room. "Transfer Odd, Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Yumi, Scanner Odd, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Yumi, and virtualization." They land in the Desert Sector. "And you're close to Aelita. I'm getting better at this."

Aelita runs out of the Tower. "Hello friends." She looks down at the pulsations. "South south west."

"Lead the way Princess." She starts running and the three follow.

Jeremie brings up some news channels. "Nothing," He changes the channel. "And nothing. What is Xana doing? And it has only been six days. His attacks keep coming closer and closer. We started off going almost two weeks between attacks. How is he gaining this kind of strength? Is it just having been turned on for awhile?"

Elsewhere

A black mist enters a computer. The screen shows a bunch of numbers then goes black.

Kadic Academy

Mr. Delmas gets a phone call. "What? My bank account was hacked? And the hacking came from this school? No, I don't know exactly. There are several here who might know how but I can't understand why they would do it. Yes, thank you for freezing my account I'll be down as soon as I can." He pauses as they respond. "Closing? Fine, tomorrow morning then. Good bye." He hangs up. "Who would be smart enough to do this? A student would think it was funny. Well we'll see how funny they find it when expulsion is in order." He opens a drawer and finds a folder titled "Student Numbers" and flips through it looking for certain names.

Factory

Jeremie's phone rings. "Uh, hello?"

"Jeremie Belpois this is Mr. Delmas. Some one recently tried doing some illegal hacking and it was traced back to the school. Now I know you are a good kid but there are only a few students who come to mind when it comes to computer skills."

"Oh, well, I'm a little busy."

"This is not a request. You will come now to my office."

"Uh, give me fifteen minutes."

"Be in my office in fifteen minutes."

"No I meant," Mr. Delmas hangs up on Jeremie. "Well, when we launch a return it won't matter." He stays in the computer chair.

Lyoko

The Lyoko Warriors see the activated Tower off in the distance. "This is why I like the Desert Sector. Every thing is so flat you can see for kilometers. Nothing can sneak up on you." A laser flies just over Odd's head. "Where did that come from?"

"Hornets coming in fast from behind. Three of them."

"Alright some action!" Odd aims. "Laser Arrow!" He misses.

"Hai!" Yumi throws her fan and it flies through the air. The Hornets break formation. "Come on hit one! If only I could change it after I throw it." The fan glows a little and changes course slicing through a Hornet cutting it in half. "I did it!"

"Uh, Yumi, your profile just flashed. Did you just use a new power?"

"I, I think so. Like a telekinesis with my fan." She catches it. "That was cool."

"We still have two left." Ulrich takes his sword out. "Unless they get close I can't attack them." He gets near Aelita. "But I can block." She stays behind him as the two remaining Hornets dive at the Lyoko Warriors.

Campus

Herve sits down in Mr. Delmas's office. "Do you understand how serious an offense hacking is?" He only nods. "And do you know why it is so serious?"

"Because it uh, violates other people's privacy?"

"Exactly. Now do you have any thing to get off your chest?"

"I'm sorry! I, I hacked the library computer so I could look at sites the school censor blocked. It wasn't any thing bad just a site that aired pirated movies before they come out in theaters! Please don't call the police I'm sorry I won't do it again."

"Uh, well, as long as you've learned your lesson and don't do it again. You can go." Herve hurries out of the office. "Now where is Jeremie? Maybe I should send Jim to the dorms."

Lyoko

The Hornets circle then spray acid at the Lyoko Warriors. "Protect the Princess!" Odd throws himself at Aelita and pushes her out of harms away as the acid covers him. "Not good not go-" He devirtualizes.

Yumi throws her fan and destroys another Hornet.

Ulrich grabs Aelita and throws her over his shoulder. "Super Sprint!" He takes off in a blur.

"Hey! Don't leave me behind!" Yumi blocks lasers fired by the last Hornet.

"He just needs to get her to the activated Tower then we can launch a Return." His phone rings and he sees it is Odd's number. "What are you doing?"

"Einstein send me back."

"Well, ok but I don't know how close I can get you." He looks through the camera and sees Odd step in to the middle Scanner. "Transfer Odd, Scanner Odd, and," An error comes up. "I can't." The doors open and Odd falls out of the Scanner.

"Hey what was that for?" Odd feels his heart race. "I need to lie down." He curls up and takes deep breaths.

Campus

Mr. Delmas calls Jeremie who doesn't respond. "That's it." He hangs up and calls Jim. "Could you go to the dorms and get Jeremie Belpois?"

"What if he isn't there?"

"I'm checking the library. He is one of the few students who has his own computer but he might be smart enough not to use it for illegal means."

"Got it. Bye."

"See you soon and hopefully with Jeremie." They hang up.

Lyoko

Ulrich nears the activated Tower when two Blocks appear. "Maybe I shouldn't have been in such a hurry." He sets Aelita down and pulls is sword out. "Yumi will catch up with us." He deflects a laser. "Or I can try and take them out." He tries again but the sword only absorbs it. "I can figure this out."

Dorm

Jim knocks on the door. "Jeremie this is Jim Morales. Open the door." He knocks again. "I'm coming in." He opens the door and finds the room empty.

Lyoko

Yumi jumps up on a rock then leaps over the Hornet. It turns upside down and sprays acid which falls back on the Hornet destroying it.

Ulrich backs up pushing Aelita towards some rocks. "As soon as Yumi gets here we'll tackle them and you make a run for it."

"I, I can help." Aelita closes her eyes and starts singing. A Block spins then shoots a fire ring. The fire ring hits an invisible wall and explodes setting the Block on fire. It spins and walks erratically then explodes.

"Good job." Ulrich charges the Block when it fires an ice beam. He tries stopping it with his sword but only gets the sword frozen to his hands making it heavy and slow. "Crap."

"Hai!" Yumi's fans comes in from above and slices through the Eye on the Block destroying it. "Go Aelita!"

Aelita runs in to the activated Tower and soon makes it to the middle of the first platform.

Jeremie readies a program that had failed last time. "Please work. If I'm ever attacked and can't be here to launch a return then this must work." He waits hoping it would work.

Aelita places her hand on the control panel and soon the screens fall around her. "Tower deactivated."

"I don't think it worked let me," The white bubble comes up reversing time.

Campus

Jeremie jumps up and down as Aelita claps her hands. "Congratulations it worked!"

"About time some thing worked. Now even if I'm not there to launch a return the Super Computer will launch one for us!"

Next Day

Ulrich and Yumi face off. "Loser buys a soda from the machine in the gazebo."

"I like grape soda."

"So?"

"Well you know what kind to buy me." Yumi strikes Ulrich with a palm thrust. He knocks her arm to the side and kicks at her. She blocks and does a leg sweep knocking him down. "I'll take that soda now."

"I'm not done yet." He rolls back on to his shoulders then pushes off with his hands and lands on his feet.

She kicks at him and he grabs her foot. He twists forcing her to flip over on to her stomach. He goes to pounce when she rolls over on to her back and brings up an arm to knock him off. He grabs her arm and pushes it down to pin her to the floor. She tries getting him off of her but can't make him move. "I like orange soda." He gets off of her and helps her up.

"I got too hasty with that last move. I should have raised a knee instead of my arm."

"If you had done that I'd be buying you a soda. But you didn't."

"If I had done that you'd be needing an ice bag on..." Both blush. "Um, so, orange you said?"

"Yes."

Elsewhere

Odd has his camera out and is following Sissi around. "It's a documentary! How does the school diva act when no one else is looking?"

"But you are looking!" She shoves the camera out of her face.

"Does she really use all the make up people claim? What does she look like when she first wakes up?" He keeps following her.

A/N And so the second episode of Season 0 is done! I'm still unsure of what I will do. I have some ideas kicking around and one really extreme one.

What if I merge this with the real Lyoko? Like keep Episode 1 of Season 1 Teddy but replace episode 2 with my own? Then use real 3 and 4, replace 5, so forth? Heck I could do it for all four seasons! Or what if I keep episode 2 but want some thing after 1 that is better? Push episode 2 back to being episode 3 and use my episode 2 as episode 2? Yeah, like I said this could get way complicated. I have time before I must decide but right now I am leaning towards that.

And Prolly no update next week, work stuff going on and a friend is moving and needs help so I'll be busy.
