Disclaimer: The idea of Code Lyoko: Never Over came from DeathDealer1997. He owns the idea, and season one. I own season two of CL: NO. Moonscoop owns the Code Lyoko characters.
Chapter 2: Stories
"William! Hurry! Ulrich is waking up! Hurry" Sissi shouted, but just enough for William to hear her from the other side of the boiler room.
William jumped up and ran over. Following behind him was Aelita and Jeremie, with shocked looks on their faced. Yumi was sound asleep, still recovering from being prisoner of X.A.N.A.
"Si-Sis-Sissi? Where am I" Ulrich asked in a very weak tone. Ulrich's eyes took a minute to focus on the setting around him. Then he saw William, Jeremie, and Aelita standing next to him. "I thought I was dead. How did I survive? How are all of you surviving" Ulrich asked.
"We thought you were dead too. We have been fighting X.A.N.A in the city, with no luck. He ran us back to the school, which surprisingly was monster free. Yumi was under the control of X.A.N.A, but we freed her, and she is asleep over there. We had only heard rumors about survivors at Kadic. We decided it was our last hope, and it turned out to be real! We have been here for a few days, resting. Our food supply is running very low. If we don't deal with X.A.N.A soon, we will die from starvation" William replied to Ulrich.
"We went out during the night for food, since that is the safest time, and found your body lying right outside the doors leading to the outside. They brought you in and you have been asleep since then" Sissi said to Ulrich.
"The main question is how you survived, before you got to the school" William asked.
Once Ulrich had recovered enough strength to sit up, the five of them sat in a circle, and started sharing stories. William, Jeremie, and Aelita told Ulrich and Sissi about everything that happened since the fight in the factory to when they reached the school.
"So, you are saying this is all a computer program" Sissi asked.
Jeremie and Aelita nodded and said, "We tried to stop it, but we weren't strong enough once X.A.N.A activated other computers around the world."
"That makes no sense, but nothing does anymore" Sissi replied and then told Ulrich about the war at the school.
By the time the others had shared their story, Ulrich had remembered his, and started to share it.
"We were walking to the factory, to shut the computer down for summer vacation. I remember it being such a hard decision because of Franz, but then he messaged us from the internet, and said he would be okay. We walked straight into the elevator, oblivious of everything around us. If we had been more observant, we might have seen the hundreds of monsters hiding in the shadows inside the factory. We went straight down to the supercomputer, to find five kankrelats inside. We all jumped back, and the doors just closed as they shot at us. The doors opened to a flooded computer room, we went to Lyoko, where we lost Odd. You pulled us out immediately, and we went back up to leave. The doors opened to tons and tons of kankrelats. We decided there to run. We were running left, the shortest way out, when three kankrelats jumped down and separated me from the rest of the group. I didn't say anything, because I wanted you guys to get out safely. I ran the opposite direction. I was pushed to the back of the factory. I found a small concealed place and sat there for two days straight, without sleeping. I found some scrap metal that was sharpened, and decided to try and get out. I wasn't going to die from sitting there. I charged out, but I found much less monsters. I assumed they had already left the factory. I took out a few without a problem and reached the bridge. I reached the other side, and was shot in the back twice. I fell over, and was down long enough to see Krabs coming out of the factory. I ran as hard as I could, and ended up back at the school somehow. I finally collapsed right where Sissi found me, thinking it was the end. Then I woke up here, to find some people still alive. I was lucky to find safe ways throughout the city that lead me to the school" Ulrich said.
"Wow. I am sorry we didn't come back for you" William replied.
"Don't be. If you would of, we all might not be here today" Ulrich said. "I think I got the better deal anyway. I didn't have to deal with all the trouble in the city."
"Jeremie, do you think there is any hope for Odd" Ulrich asked.
Jeremie stared at Ulrich, in shock by the question. He hadn't really thought about it since the attack of the factory.
"You did it with Aelita. Maybe we can still find a hair of Odd around here somewhere" Ulrich continued.
"I have no idea Ulrich. It might work, but he has been stranded at sea for a long time. It could take more than a hair, or months of searching. For all we know, X.A.N.A could have him under his control. If he does, without Lyoko, there is no freeing him" Jeremie replied.
Ulrich sat there, and passed back out. "I don't think he is dead or prisoner. I can feel it. Odd is tough. He is alive" Ulrich thought right before he passed out.
A/N- I hope you liked the second chapter! Third chapter soon (hopefully)! Sorry it is short. Just getting the stories set.
