Notes: Ok, I do not own code lyoko… I never did and most likely never will… thus I do not own the characters that were created by France 3. However!

The Review Box

Boyswillbeboys: Heh, yes I know there aren't many odd based fictions! Thus! I set out to correct this as they are such a great pair! I will finish this Fiction however! Even if it kills me… though I have some ideas that seemed to spark my interest greatly! So expect me to update more frequently when I get some time to type.

Bobbyneko: Thanks for the complements! Keeps me from nulling my ideas for this story just as all the people who review do. So keep them coming and I will keep these stories coming!

Odd22: Wait no longer! It's here! and yeah… heh… I was going to let it die until I got them new reviews.

Crocodile: All in due time, all in due time.

Note to all my reviewers!

You guys are great! After all you're the reason I made a chapter 2… yes I was going to leave this for dead and start something new! But then I saw new reviews… and in my opinion… which I didn't follow… even if only one person reads it I would continue writing… so thanks for bring me back! I would feel so low if I didn't finish this little story. In short you all kick ass!

Chapter 3: Just stop!

A scream, eyes popping open as odd was ripped from sleep, dazed as he raised his left hand to his forehead, he slowly sat up as he looked around unsure what the issue was and slowly he shook his head, a strange feeling overtaking him as he rose to his feet. Kiwi barking loudly at the door as Odd looked to him, kiwi backing away as he pressed his ear to the door. The sounds for frantic students booming through the dormitories, the wood carrying the sound of each step with great vibration as I shifted back a step he didn't know what to think of the situation as he simply returned to his bed, slumping down placing his elbows on his knee's while at the same time pressing his palms against his chins.

"I wonder what all that noise is about. What do you think Kiwi?"

Odd said calmly, his tone soft as his eyes set upon his small grey dog, it looked back to him slowly laying down next to his right leg, resting it's head on odd's shoe it let of a coo of content as odd reached down, his right hand softly running over the small dog's fur, an occasional scratch here and there as he leaned back against the wall. Time seeming to stop in that instant, the screams, the heavy fast paced foot steps creating no sound… Odd simply was fixated on the empty space that was opposite to him. His mind flooding in memories… things he pushed away… things he wanted to forget… they were painful… odd raising his hands quickly to the sides of his head as his body lapsed to the left, his teeth gritted as his eye lids crushed together as he could see a flash.

(A/N: Flash back in Italics, also the flash back is in Odd's POV)

"Odd, come on… wake up…"

A disgruntled voice called as I rolled over, the bed warm, and so soft… I didn't want to move, I was in heaven… though I could feel a hand pressing against my shoulder, shifting my shoulder slightly as the hand continued to annoy me until I finally opened my eyes.

"Come on odd… if we want to get hot water we have to get going."

The voice came again as I looked up, a blurred image in my site, a figure I knew… Ulrich standing there above me, a towel in hand among other things as I sat up and began to rub my eyes.

The image flashing only for a moment as Odd continued to grip his skull, his eyes opened wide, the sockets bulged for a moment as he sheltered his face in the bed, his head throbbing as again a flash came over his eyes.

"Man… I hate science… just so confusing…"

I muttered as I looked toward Ulrich, the brunette looking so calm as he leaned against the wall, the sound of the vending machines coolers wiring around filling the air in a soft rhythm. Ulrich only let off a chuckle as he looked toward me, his eye's placid as he met my own eyes.

"Well, you know if you didn't sleep through class… it would be easier for you."

Ulrich retorted to my statement, drawing a small chuckle from me as I slipped a euro into the coffee machine, a cup falling as my hand wrapped around it as I turned to face Ulrich once more, a large grin on my face.

"But I need my beauty sleep… or I might end up looking like sissy."

I cackled evilly as Ulrich joined me.

"Hey Ulrich, Odd"

A calm collect yet kind voice echoed cutting through out small burst of laughter, my eyes blinking for a moment as I spotted Yumi walking toward us, a small wave of my free hand to her as Jeremy also popped up out of no where. He was wearing his usually face, sleepy more to say and thus I chuckled.

"All night with your princess again, eh Einstein?"

I said as we all let off a chuckle.

Odd's mind sparking, neurons revving, trailing through his brain, uncovering more, but in the same instant his head felt as if it was going to burst, eyes once more clamped shut again, however he could feel Kiwi's coarse tongue running over my cheek, a worried bark escaping the small dog. Odd rolling over again, his heart rate had begun to accelerate as the tormenting images continued without respite as his brow became wet, sweat rolling from his epidermis as he almost wanted to scream out in agony, however before he had the chance… another paralyzing flash cast over his oculars.

"Laser Arrow!"

I yelled out loudly as my arm jutted backward from the recoil, a Block bursting into fragments before me as I turned, Yumi and Ulrich where safe guarding Aelita to the tower while I covered the rear; A small smirk on my face as I began to hop around avoiding a rain of blasts from a squad of hornets, the constant movement with a Laser Arrow here and there allowing me to dispatch them swiftly.

"Jeremy, im going to get moving… ill be heading toward the others."

I said in a somewhat pumped voice, the adrenalin rushing through my digital form as I turned, my body angled low as I dashed, Jeremy hadn't said anything for me to worry about there safety and as such I didn't rush. Converging on the tower however I spotted Aelita entering as Ulrich and Yumi had surrounded a Mega Tank, Ulrich a great distance away in three directions due to a triplicate while Yumi held the one side. I came to a halt and let off a sigh of relief as I could see that they were fine but that was only a poor choice as we all turned our gaze to the tower as it was deactivating. The Tank opening wide and charging as my eyes opened.

"Look out!"

I screamed out, Ulrich and Yumi turning to face the Tank but far to late, the beam cutting clean through them, there body's fading white as a voice carried through my head.

"Return to the past now!"

The voice said as everything froze, my eyes opened wide as Ulrich and Yumi froze in the de-virtualization process.

Odd grunting as he opened his mouth, the image of X.a.n.a floating in his mind while air flowed into his lungs, the image flashing a deep red as he could see Yumi and Ulrich faces meld into the image and vanish, a sadistic laugh echoing in his mind. In that instant a noise burst loose from Odd's svelte frame, the scream ripping through the dorm's as time had again taken movement, Odd opened his eyes wide as he was found in a fetal position on his bed his agonizing roar continuing… however it was not just a scream… it was a message.

"Just stop!"

The words became un-fragmented by the massive vibration's let off by his vocal cords as the laugh faded from his mind, a black shadow that had gone unseen escaping his body and thus vanishing into the air as his door flung open. Odd quickly spun over, his heart stopped as he saw that boy… Joshua… standing there in his door, heavy pant's being drawn from the german boy as Odd just looked on.

"What do you want?"

Odd said with venom to the boy as he chocked to get such a tone out, Joshua incapable of speaking as he had searched nearly the entire dorm building only to have the luck of hearing odd… this however startled him as he fell to his knee. Odd looking at him as Joshua grappled with a random marker that was laid on the floor as one of Kiwi's chew toys, popping the cap off he slammed the tip into the wall, his hand moving swiftly as he dropped the marker and let his back fall upon the door frame.

"X.A.N.A"

Odd said as he looked toward the marking on the wall.
