Tatsu

Chapter Two- The Recognition
When the plane landed, everyone stretched, yawned and shuffled off of the plane. They found a hotel and got, thanks to their numbers, a suet. They got all their things unpacked and headed out. Since it was their first night in America, they decided to eat at a fancy restaurant. They went to dinner and then went back to the hotel. As soon as they laid down they fell asleep. They were glad of that when Odd woke them up at five in the morning.
"Why this early, Odd?" Aelita moaned when she felt a shaking at her shoulder and saw who it was.
"We need to get there before the crowds!" Odd said, practically jumping up and down with excitement.
"All right. Just control your hormones," Aelita told him.
Odd ran out of her room to wake Jeremy, Ulrich, Yumi and Sam.
Everyone was ready to go by six and Aelita called the cab service.
At seven they got to the park and went to Tatsu.
As they waited to board the coaster, their excitement mounted. Odd became more like a young kid, bouncing up and down with impatience. Finally, Sam figured out how to calm him down. She went up behind him, taped him on the shoulder and when he turned around kissed him. Everyone laughed as Odd turned bright red. Yumi and Ulrich looked at each other and turned bright red as well. Yumi bent towards Ulrich and he met her halfway in a light kiss.
The train finally pulled up and it was the teens turn to ride. The boys rode in the first row while the girls rode in the second. Behind them were seven other teens who seamed to be friends as well.
The harnesses came down. The seats were lifted upwards. The train started to move up the track. It came to the crown and plummeted down to screams of exhilaration from all on board. It speed around the horseshoe curve and went in to the loop. Pure adrenaline rushed through Aelita's veins. The train came to a stop at the loading deck and the seats came down while the harnesses went up. The two groups of teens stepped off the deck and talked excitedly about the ride. The group of seven teens that rode behind them whispered among them selves. One of the girls went up to Odd and taped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, everyone, wait up," Odd called. Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremy, Aelita and Sam turned around and came back.
"Hi, my name is Saphria. I was just wondering if you all would like to join us to go around the park."
"Sure. That would be nice. My name is Odd."
Jeremy came forward and introduced him self, then Aelita, Ulrich, Sam and Yumi.
Saphria introduced all of her friends who were Emily, Fred, Tina, Mika, Ester, and Robert.
Mika looked at Yumi and said, 'You said your name was Yumi?"
"Yes, that's what I said."
Mika gave a meaningful look to Saphria and Saphria nodded. She looked at Odd and said, "Well, shall we go?"
"Yes, lets go find some food!" Odd replied.
"Odd, you always eat!" Sam said.
The two groups ate lunch and headed to more roller coasters. It was five when the two groups decided to leave.
"Thanks, Saphria. I had fun with you and your friends," Odd called as the others echoed his thanks.
They headed to the hotel and made plans for the rest of the evening. They decided to eat in their room
and play cards the rest of the night. Odd and Sam voted for poker, Aelita for blackjack, Ulrich and Jeremy for rummy, and Yumi for shang hi.
"It's not that late. We could play all the games," Aelita said. The group played in till eleven.
As they slept, the door creaked open.
"Got it. That was easy. The easiest lock to pick."
"Shut up, Mika. You'll get us caught!"
"Well, sorry, Ester. When have I ever been caught?"
The two stop arguing as they get closer to their target. Mika slips a bottle out of her pocket and dumps a little of the liquid on to a cloth. She puts the cloth over a sleeping girls nose and mouth.
"That is enough for a half hour. We need to hurry."
The two girls pick up the raven haired teen and carry her to the elevator. There, they put her on her feet and support her with their shoulders. In this fashion they take her through the lobby and out to a waiting car.
They drive to an old factory and carry the raven haired teen in. They sit her in a golden cylinder. They wait a few minutes for her to wake up. When she does, Mika calls up, "Emily, start the process!"
"What process? What are you doing to me?"
"Yumi, it is ok. You are just going to Koyol. It is just like Lyoko," Emily says over the intercom.
"There is more then…" Yumi is cut off as the virtualization begins.
"A card is being pulled up from memory. She has been here before,' Emily says over the intercom.
Yumi lands on Koyol in front of a girl and boy. They bow and say, "Welcome back, Princess Yumi."
"How is this possible? It should have taken much longer to get here unless… Emily, have I been her before?" Yumi asks.
"It would seem so. It would have been a long time ago, though. The only ones who have seen Princess Yumi, you, on Koyol are her protectors, the two in front of you," Emily explained.
"I am Hadie," the girl said, with a bow.
"I am Hadlee," the boy said, with a bow.
"Welcome home, Princess," they say in unison.
A/N- I hope this is as good as I want it to be. Chapters will be slow becasue of the length. I have to do lots of editing before puting them up so they are worthy. I hope to have Saphria drawn soon. Check out my Fanart Central acount for her and others.
