Yuki: Yosh! Welcome to the very fourth chapter of the story! Thank you to my reviewers who reviewed on chapter three. Reviewing reviewers, review some more!

Mika: You sure do seem happy Yuki.

Yuki: Yep! I was thinking about it and this is the longest story I've ever written that I haven't lost interest in yet. Usually it goes to a few pages and I give up. But not this time!

Mika: Yuki! Don't abandon us! This is really big! When will find out my connection to um… That AI guy!

Yuki: Don't worry Mika, I won't lose interest, I've got a lot of plans for this story.

Mika: Oh. Okay! That's nice! Plus Odd and Ulrich said that if you ever left this story before it was finished that they would 'persuade' you to continue. They also had this really weird expression on their faces while they were talking.

Yuki: Uh… Hehehe? I don't own Code Lyoko! Bye!

Mika: Huh? Yuki wait! Where are you going?! Uh… I'll go get her, but for now! Yuki wants me to tell you that by me being here. I still have no knowledge of this when I play the story~! Wah? Wait, what? No fair!

This chapter was added 5/6/09. Sorry, I had to repost chapter three. I needed delete something.

Three days. It had been three long days since I found out about the super scanner-er, computer-uh, whatever the heck that thing was called. Thing weren't the same after that. I had kind of lost all connection with the others. Yumi had tried to call me a few times but I ignore it. I sat alone at a table instead of with them, and I started to avoid them. It wasn't because I was mad at them, but, I didn't know what to do. After I blew up at them like that the other day, (A/N: I'm not sure if that counts as blowing up at them Mika, there was hardly any shouting.) I'm not sure if they'll forgive me! Argghh! This is all William's fault, if he had never offered to show me that place in the fist.

… Then again, I was the one that accepted it wasn't I? So it's my fault all along...

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Now I'm confused! Was it my fault or William's? Then again was it the others' fault? Either way, all of this end up coming back to me in the end.

"Psst! Mick!"

I turned around; Odd was holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand. He threw it to me when the teacher wasn't looking. Smoothing out the edges, I read what he had said.

'We're really! Really! Sorry! About what happened with Lyoko!' I blinked, they were apologizing to me? But…

I scribbled down my reply slowly, 'Do…You…really…want…to…be…apologizing…to me? I mean, it's not really you're fault…' I re-crumpled the paper and tossed it back to him. Ulrich caught it instead and read it. He seemed pleased with what I wrote, but I had a hard time reading his expression, I always do.

It was easy for me to read anyone's face as long as I knew them a little. Jeremy was the easiest. He didn't really seem to have a secret he needed to cover up, but he would occasionally be too nervous or frustrated to show anything else. Aelita was easy too; always open to everyone's approaches. Well, now I know why she never talked about her family.

Odd and Yumi were good at hiding stuff, and I didn't mean hiding as in taking and putting something somewhere. I mean hiding their emotions; sometimes Yumi made a slip up and was easy to read, but Odd…

Odd was always smiling, I had never seen him for an instant that hr wasn't cracking a joke or making funny, albeit a little mean, remarks about Sissy. I could never really see his emotions. So…yeah.

Why am I talking to myself anyway? I mean, it's not like anyone was reading my thoughts so… Crap. I'm going senile.

I felt another wad of paper hit me in the back of the head. Un-crumpling the projectile, I was about to read it.

"Now Class, we have an assembly so everyone line up in single file. I expect all of you to behave in front of Principal Delmas." Teacher said. Everyone else grumbled butt accepted it anyway.

…

As Principal Delmas went on about how he expects students to act and how he wants the school to be run. I got a sudden chill. Wh-What was that? I had never felt anything like it. There was a foreboding feeling about it. Looking off to the side, I saw something in the distance. It was tall, red, and… mechanical?

Those crab-things from Lio-leo-lyo-whatever it was –ko!

Crap. Crap. Crap! Crap!! Not good, so not good!

"SHITZ!" I yelled. By now everyone was looking at me but that didn't matter. Teachers had cross looks on their faces and were scolding me but did I care? No.

"Miss Kamerd. I am disappointed in your behavior. You are a model student! Not someone who disobeys the rules!" Principal Delmas reprimanded. I just made my way to Odd and the others and pointed toward the direction of the crazy monsters that would kill us.

"Uh oh! Xana's attacking! Jeremy! Aelita! Get to the factory!" Ulrich said as soon as he caught sight of the crabs. Crabs, why crabs? I remember when I got pinched by a crab one time. It was not fun. I couldn't walk on my foot for two days! And I'm not over-exaggerating. Hold on- This is beside the point, Focus Mika, focus. On our way are killing machinery made to look like crabs. You have to concentrate on not getting anyone killed.

I looked back around. The crabs were closer than ever and everyone was staring at us. Wonderful. So much for leaving without anybody noticing.

"Hop on it guys. I can take care of those thingies." 'I think' Yumi stared at me incredulously.

"Mika? You forgive us? Already?" She stared some more. I stuttered out a laugh to try to lighten the tension.

"We'll talk later. Go." I said. They nodded and Aelita, Jeremy, Odd, and Ulrich bolted for the door, trying not to be seen. Yumi stayed put.

"You're not going with them? I thought…"

"I'm staying here with you to help the rest of the school." She replied. I search for something to fight with. Che. Fight with? I could hardly make a dent in a punching bag! If I was one of the people who actually knew what was going on and protecting everyone else. Then we were all royally screwed.

"Um…Yumi? Any idea how to beat the crab things headed our way?" I asked. She looked at me.

"The eyes on their bodies, hit it hard enough or pierce it and the crabes will stop working." She said, taking a pocket knife from her, well, pocket. Isn't that against the rules? Wait, don't complain! That was smart! Uh, let's see…

I fished in the pockets of my jacket for something sharp. Hmm… A pencil, a toenail clipper (I bite my nails too much to clip them. Oh well.)

Hey! A cardboard box cutter! I have absolutely no idea why I have one but thank God I do! Suddenly the window nearest us was shattered by the crab's attack. (AN: Sorry for the interruption but since this is in Mika's POV, and she doesn't know how they spell the monsters names, she just spells it how she thinks it is. Which is why she and Yumi have their spellings of the crabes differently)

I could hear people screaming and the teachers trying to calm them down, but that wasn't the main problem. The problem was that a crab was right in front of me, aiming down for the kill. I didn't move. I couldn't move. I was petrified, scared was an understatement. In that virtual world when you died, the others told me you got sent back to earth. But this was the real world. What happened if you got killed here?

"Mika! Out of the way!" Yumi tackled me out of the way as the laser came down.

"R-right. Sorry." I stuttered. I took the cutting knife and ran up to the crab. My heart was pounding in my chest but it was too late to stop now. I jumped as high as I could and thrust the knife down into the black and white eye. The machine's legs gave out and the crab collapsed on to the floor. I panted, it was exhilarating.

"Holy Crap… That was kind of cool." I muttered. Yumi took out three more invading crabs and was finishing up a fourth one. We could go on like this for a while, but how long was 'a while'? Could everyone get to the tower thingies in time?

"Ishiyama! Kamerd! Come over here!" Jim's voice shouted at us. I looked back. The staff had somehow created a barrier from gymnastic mats. All of the students were inside and everyone was quaking with fear.

Something hit me on the back of my head. I fell backwards and looked up to see about three crabs towering over me. Each of them had charging lasers.

'This is it. I'm going to die right here and now. This seriously sucks.'

The lasers fired.

I could hear Yumi shouting.

Then it was all white.

"…and so class. Now you know that if you multiply c by 56 that you'll get…" I blinked. What the heck? I'm back in class? I thought I was dead.

"Pssst! Mick!" A wad of paper hit my in the back of the head. I caught it again. Instead of what it said before, there was something different inscribed on it.

'You really forgive us?'

I wrote down my reply and tossed it back.

'Yeah, sure.' Another note.

'Meet us at lunch.' That must have come from Ulrich. I smiled and shot them a thumbs up sign. At least everything was okay…

For now I think.

Yuki: Good. That was my longest chapter. Seven pages long! I thank you for all the reviews and subscribers and viewers I've gotten. Thank you! I'll now tell you the summary for next chapter.

Next chapter! The Lyoko group takes Mika back to Lyoko to train her. Everything seems well until the next day, everybody gets a note saying that it's parent teacher conference week! What's Aelita gonna do?
