A/N: Finally, to the people who are actually following this story, thank you very much (Especially you guys who favorited this) and the third chapter is finally up. Okay, this was supposed to be uploaded way earlier. But what happened?
Wednesday (Original Post-Date): Busy watching . Thrusday-Sunday: On mini vacation, so didn't bring laptop. Sunday (2nd half): Cousins, who don't have internet. Monday: Headache.
But this chapter is ready to get started. Quick notice: For future reference of this fanfic, Yumi my call herself an alien. This is because she is used to being an Earthling. And because everyone bailed on me for the disclaimer.
Author: I do not own any part of this fanfic that relates to Code Lyoko. It would be a dream come true if I owned that show.
Chapter Three: So, If They Find Me Out?
"Again!"
Ulrich was in his protector outfit, learning how to fight and use other weapons. This has been his typical morning the last few days: Going into the forest, getting taught by Yumi.
He was on the dagger now. Ulrich flung his arm and let the dagger soar into the target in the tree.
"You're doing well, better then what I expected from a human," Yumi said as the dagger disappeared. "But of course you fought in a virtual world. You have more experience than other humans."
Ulrich smiled at Yumi. He was happy to finally spend alone time with her…Even if alone time was practicing to protect himself from William.
Yumi looked at her phone. "We have to get to class now! We spent too much time out here!" she exclaimed as Ulrich transformed back to normal.
The two looked at each other and booked it back to campus. What they saw when they got there was a big crowd of students at the gate.
"Hey, what's up?" asked Yumi.
Ashleigh was the only one to turn around. "Some happened in the forest last night. They think it was an E.T. or something like that, so they called in some agency."
As Ashleigh turned back around, Ulrich poked Yumi's shoulder. She turned to Ulrich and pointed to his forehead. He thought, This wasn't your fault, right?
Yumi shook her head no.
"So you guys are going to be the first tested, seeing how they found presence of aliens at our school," Ms. Hertz told her class.
Yumi looked at William's empty spot, thinking, William picked a god day to be 'sick.' But how am I getting through this?
"First up, they want Dunbar and Ishiyama."
Yumi sighed. Of course. She stood up and reluctantly walked to the office. She's never going to get out of this.
She walked in and Yolanda looked at her. "Where's Dunbar?"
"He's sick."
"All right. Roll up your sleeves and lay down." Yolanda went to look in her drawers.
Yumi did as she was told and breathed in and out.
Yolanda prepped Yumi's arm. She positioned a needle. "All right, sit still for one minute."
Yumi closed her eyes and thought, Please change. Change into human DNA for a minute.
"All done."
The black haired female opened her eyes. She didn't even feel a prick.
"Get back to class. Also, can you please send the next two people?"
One week later, the principal called an assembly. He stood on the stage with the microphone. "Out of our test results we had one come back positive for alien DNA."
Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other and gulped.
"We know for sure it was a male's test. But, unfortunately, we have no idea whose. They forgot to label it."
"The only person they could have found out about was yours from your protector blood," Yumi said as she thought. She and Ulrich were behind the school after the assembly.
Ulrich looked at her. "What about you and William?"
"William was-" cue air quotes, "–'sick,' and I forgot until last minute that William and I know how to mask our true DNA for a short time. I totally forgot to teach you that."
"So, if they find me out?"
"Well, no one I know has been, but I'm going to guess whatever happens to aliens in dissections will happen to you."
"We have to get the trail off."
"We will." Yumi turned to the forest. "But first I want to check out what happened."
The two got into the forest. The only evidence they had was a crater.
"Ugh. That won't help us in human form." Yumi turned around. "Ulrich, I'm going to have to fully transform to get better senses to track. Just don't be alarmed. This time, I'll be in control."
Ulrich nodded and backed up just in case.
Yumi's ears, teeth, and nails grew. The tail came out of her back. The grey scales formed on her body. Unlike the bright yellow like last time, her eyes became their usual pale yellow.
"Yumi?"
The alien turned towards Ulrich again. A growl-like voice replied, "Don't worry Ulrich. I'm in control."
The brown haired teen sighed.
"I think you'll be safe to transform into your protector form." Yumi started sniffing around the crater.
Ulrich closed his eyes. The one-piece suit appeared on his body. He opened his eyes to show the soft gray around the pupils.
"This seems like the work of an alien. I just don't know what planet it's from." Yumi looked up. "We need to get William. Let's just hope he won't try to attack you."
A bush rustled off to the side of them. Ulrich had his katana in his hand in less than a second flat. He stood in a fighting position. "Show yourself."
A figure walked out of the bush, hands up. "Relax, it's just me." The figure was William who put his hands down. "I heard Yumi's thoughts and thought I could be of some help."
Yumi put her arms down, walking on four legs towards William. "No fighting with Ulrich, understand?"
William nodded yes.
"All right. Transform and help me track."
The black haired boy's eyes turned navy blue. His teeth and nails grew, though his nails weren't as big as Yumi's. Black horns grew out of his head. Navy blue fur appeared on his skin.
"William's form is different than yours?" Ulrich asked as he looked at Yumi.
"Remember, he's from a different planet then me. Let's get searching William."
"Will do Yumi." William's voice sounded like Yumi's growling voice. He got right to work.
"I wonder where Ulrich and Yumi are." Odd blurted out.
Aelita shrugged. "They just rushed into the forest like something was wrong."
"Come on. I'll look and see if Ulrich's in my room."
Aelita and Ashleigh got up along with Odd. "We'll see if Yumi's at home."
The three left, leaving Jeremie to type on his laptop alone. He heard a sloshing sound and looked up. He shrugged it off and continued working.
William looked up. "Yumi, did you see that too?"
"Yeah."
Ulrich looked confused. "See what?"
"William and I both had a vision. Someone's going to be attacked by an alien."
Jeremie.
The unknown voice this time made Ulrich sick to his stomach. He clutched it so he wouldn't puke.
"You okay?" Yumi asked Ulrich.
"Jeremie's going to get attacked."
"How do you know?"
"This inside voice that started when I found you out."
Yumi paused for a minute. "The only way we'll be able to track them is if we stay in alien form. However, we can't risk showing our true forms in the open. We'll try to help you as much as we can but you're going to have to be alone."
"All right. Tell me what to do."
"First, go back to your normal, human form."
Ulrich closed his eyes. He was back in his normal clothes with his normal eye color. His hand still contained a katana.
"Jeremie is at a bench near the park, that way." Yumi pointed her body at a direction.
Ulrich nodded and left.
"You think he'll be okay?" Yumi asked as she looked towards William.
William grunted and turned around.
Jeremie tried to run away from a green, gelatin like creature. Along the way, he kept tripping and falling, only to get up and run again.
"Hi-ya!"
Jeremie turned to see Ulrich swinging his katana at the gelatin thing. "Ulrich?"
The brown haired boy quickly looked behind himself. "Hey Einstein."
"What are you doing?"
"Helping. Now trust me, you need to get back to the dorms."
Jeremie opened his mouth for a second. "If you say so, just be careful." He ran off.
Ulrich hatched an idea. "Hey jelly, follow me!"
Yumi scratched at the ground, bored. She would transform back to normal but she had a premonition Ulrich was coming with their 'friend.' She decided to stay in her true form because she needed to eat.
William looked up and in a direction. "They're coming."
Yumi got back onto four feet and readied herself to pounce.
Ulrich ran by, stopping near William. Yumi pounced and pinned the alien down. She said, "William, make Ulrich look away. I'm pretty sure an Earthling doesn't want to see how we eat."
"Turn around Ulrich," commanded William.
The tone in William's voice made Ulrich cringe a little and made him turn around. He had the feeling that he never wanted to see Yumi eat another alien in this form.
"Another assembly?" asked Odd as he sat in the bleachers. "We can't find Ulrich or Yumi…or William."
"No need to worry about that Odd." Ulrich into the bleachers with a normal form Yumi and a normal form William.
"There you guys are. Do we want to know what happened with you guys?"
The three shook their heads no. They sat down. Ulrich got closer to Yumi's ear and whispered, "It's all over for me, isn't it?"
"I think so. Good luck Ulrich."
The principal came up to the podium. "Well, we have some more results."
Ulrich and Yumis' hearts pounded very hard, seeming like their hearts would leap out of their chests.
"And the result is…the lab made a mistake. There is no alien presence here. All of the agents that were to be investigating are to leave immediately."
Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other with shocked looks.
"So, what must have happened?" wondered Ulrich. The two were behind the school again.
Yumi thought for a minute. "Maybe when your blood is separated from your body for a certain amount of time, the alien DNA disappears."
"Or someone could have messed up the test samples."
Ulrich and Yumi looked at William walking up.
"Of course you would," snickered Yumi.
"This will only be a one-time deal. As much as I wanted to see Ulrich dissected, Yumi would be upset and we might have been found out."
Ulrich put his arm around William's shoulder. "I owe you one William."
"All right, then GET YOUR ARM OFF OF ME!"
Yumi laughed at the boys.
A/N: You know the drill, read and review. It has been scientifically proven that reviews help fanfics...And cancer!
Anyone who's reading my Bleach Interviews: I will update by this Friday. I never recieved questions so know I have to make them up.
Yes this chapter and the next are the only two so far that Ulrich and William team up. Will there be more? Who knows. And the next chapter wasn't going to be posted because of how I thought about it. It will be because it introduces one of William's powers.
Next Chapter: Sissi tries to find out about our trio.
