Two chapters in one day! Aren't you all just so proud of me! For those of you guessing the game in the last chapter… I really didn't have one in mind! sweat drop So go ahead and use your little imaginations to make yourself happy and decide a game.

"How is it possible all of these towers are being activated, but nothing is happening in the real world?" Yumi yelled as they were all running down the hall.

"AHHHH!!!! SOMEONE HELP!!!" "That sounds like Sissi!" Ulrich yelled and turned the corner with the rest. "So much for nothing happening in the real world!" Odd yelled out when they saw Sissi backed into a corner with giant globs of mud forming around her.

"Mud?" Aelita asked. Jeremy watched as the balls began to pull together "HELP!" Sissi yelled again once the mud had formed into a creature that looked like something you'd find in the movies of 'Attack of the Swamp Monster'

"Sissi! Run!" Ulrich bellowed as he ran over to the fire hose. Sissi nodded and began to run but was cut off as the monster's arm shot forward and blocked her path. "Hold on!" Ulrich told her and turned on the hose. Water flew from it and blasted the creature.

"Good going, Ulrich!" Jeremy yelled when seeing the monster become diluted from the water and sink to the ground. "Sissi! Run while you can!" Odd yelled, Sissi obeyed and went running down the hall, hoping to find higher ground. Ulrich turned off the hose "Come on, no telling how many of those there are!" He told the others and they began to run again. Little did they know that as they ran the monster began to pull itself back together again.

"Oh no…." Yumi said once they reached the doors to the school. "That's how many…" Odd stated. "How do we get through?" Aelita asked. Ulrich skidded to a halt when seeing the mud creatures were all over the grounds of the school. Kids were running and screaming everywhere as the creatures tore apart metal buildings and trapped humans to the trees with mud balls.

Ulrich glanced around at all the chaos "We run for it"

"Not so fast!" Silney's voice appeared behind them, causing them to turn around and come face to face with the mud creature Ulrich had blasted down. A metal pipe came from behind and sliced the creature in half. "Silney!" Odd yelled, seeing her with the weapon. "Howdy" she stated plainly while she kicked up a glowing stone in the mud puddle before hitting it away with the metal pipe "I found out that the glowing stones are like their heart, with it, they can't pull themselves together" she explained.

"Silney, what are you doing here? You need to get to safety!" Odd told her. Silney nodded "As do you all, tell me where you're going and I'll help clear a path" the others looked around each other, should they really tell her where they were headed?

"The forest" Jeremy said without hesitation. Silney nodded and began to run towards the creatures that stood in her way. "Jeremy, is this smart?" Yumi asked as they ran behind her. He nodded "You guys will need your energy when we get to the factory, she can take care of the creatures on the way up so you don't waste energy" he explained. Odd gulped "I hope your right…"

"MOVE!!!" Silney yelled as she jabbed the pipe into another creature, causing the stone to pop out and the mud to splash into a puddle. "Why exactly the forest? Isn't there more mud there?!" She yelled back to the others as a creature appeared right in front of her, she barely had time to dodge and attack as mud and stones came flying for her face.

"You'll see. It's this way!" Jeremy yelled and he ran beside Silney to lead her, but so she could still be 'in front'. Silney followed without question, but almost fell over when Jeremy skidded to a halt "This is it!" He yelled and pulled open the hatch.

"A ladder in the middle of the forest?" she asked, but had no time for an answer "Silney! Watch out!" Yumi yelled. Silney looked up just in time to see a massive ball of mud and rocks slam into her right arm. "Silney!" Odd and Ulrich yelled as they watched her body fly onto the ground.

Odd wasted no time in running over to his fallen friend and looked at her bruised and bleeding arm. "No..." Aelita whispered as she also ran over. Silney stirred and slowly sat up, only to clutch her right arm in pain. "Jeremy! We can't just leave her here!" Aelita yelled over in worry. Jeremy nodded in agreement. "Odd! Help her to the factory. We'll run ahead and get things ready!"

Odd nodded and slipped an arm around her waist to help her stand. "Odd, do you need help?" Yumi asked after Jeremy and Ulrich jumped through the hole. "I'll be fine, go!" Odd told her. Yumi nodded and helped Aelita down before she jumped down herself.

"Are you alright?" He asked her while helping her to the hole. "Jump…" Silney whispered through her gritted teeth. Odd raised an eyebrow "What?" he asked "Jump!" Silney yelled and flung herself and Odd forward. Right where they had been standing a huge rock landed. "Ah man!" Odd yelled and picked Silney up before jumping down the hole.

"Wait here" he said and placed her down on the ground before climbing up the ladder and pulled the hatch as a mud creature tried to jump down to follow them "What's this factory?" Silney asked, her voice was strained, the pain was becoming too much for her. "You'll see, can you hold onto my back?" he asked. She nodded and climbed on, as she did Odd grabbed his skateboard and began to fly down the tunnel.

With the others…

"Doesn't seem like our friend has appeared just yet" Jeremy said as he sat at the computer chair and began to type. The others nodded in reply and ran to the pods to be sent to Lyoko "What section are we being sent to?" Yumi asked as she climbed in. "Everyone, better put some insect repellent on, you're heading to the forest" Jeremy told them as the pods closed.

Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita all landed within a clearing the forest and looked around "I hope the others are alright…" Aelita said. Ulrich nodded "Same, but we can't worry about them right now" "Ulrich's right, the tower is coming from the south, in a swamp" Jeremy told them through his microphone. The three nodded and began to run.

In the Elevator…

"We're almost there" Odd assured Silney, she nodded and could hear voices coming from the other side of the elevator door as it came to a stop.

"Watch it!" Ulrich yelled as a blast hit his sword "How are you holding up Yumi?" he yelled over. She back flipped over a creature and stabbed her fan through "Good, but I'd be better if Odd was here!" "You're in luck! He just appeared!" Jeremy told them and turned to Odd as he and Silney came through the door.

"What's the statues?" Odd asked as he placed Silney on the ground next to the main computer. "Yumi is at half power, one more blast to Ulrich and he's a goner! They're almost to the tower, Odd get in there!" Jeremy yelled. "Right, what of our mystery girl?" he asked. "She hasn't appeared" Jeremy answer simply "I think she got held up by the mud creatures"

Silney continued to clutch her arm, trying to stop the bleeding as she watched Odd run off into another room I can't leave now… Not while Jeremy's here watching, they'll have to handle this one on their own, I only wish I could be there… she thought to herself. "No questions?" Jeremy asked, that's what he was expecting, spit fire questions. At least that's what happened whenever Sissi had been down here.

"I'll ask later, you all seem busy" Silney answered. "You won't remember any of this later, I'm sorry to say" Jeremy responded. "Then there's no use for questions is there?" she asked back. I'll remember more then you think…

"Odd! About time!" Ulrich yelled when he saw his friend drop from the sky. "How's Silney?" Yumi asked right as she dodged another attack. "She's fine, next to Jeremy, watch it!" He yelled "Laser Arrow!" his voice echoed as the attack hit a bug that almost got to Aelita. "The path is clear, get to the tower!" Odd yelled to her. Aelita nodded and sprinted across the bridge until she reached the tower and went inside. "Ulrich!" Yumi yelled right as he got hit and sent back to the real world.

"Hurry up Aelita…" Jeremy typed on the computer as Ulrich stumbled back into the main room "She's in the tower, shouldn't take too long" Ulrich told him. Jeremy nodded in reply "Good" "Jeremy! Tower's been shut down!" Aelita said over the speaker. Jeremy nodded again "Hope you enjoyed the factory, Silney" he said kindly "Return to the past, execute!"

The next mornings…

"I can't believe those gangs cause this much damage!" Jim complained as he looked at the half way broken buildings that were all around him.

"Maybe this means no class!" Odd hoped out loud right as Silney walked up. "Don't get your hopes up, the main school building is still left in perfect condition" Jeremy said, causing a groan to come from Odd and Ulrich.

"So what's the story?" Silney asked with a yawn. "Well sleepy head, a gang came by last night and started to destroy the buildings. The cops came by and got them though" Yumi told her. Silney nodded "Hard to believe we all slept through that"

Aelita laughed "Yea, it is. Oh well, gangs will be gangs I suppose"

"I don't believe it! How did my clothes get so dirty?!" Sissi yelled as she walked by, trying to wipe dirt and dried mud off of her shirt and skirt.

Silney laughed And mud will be mud too, I suppose. Ha, even if they did tell the teachers it was mud creatures, I wonder how many of them would believe it.

"What happened to your arm?" Odd asked, pointing to the wrapped forearm of Silney, trying to act innocent. "Oh, this?" she asked You know exactly what happened "I fell down my aunts stairs yesterday when trying to carry down a box" she said. The group nodded in understanding. All of them knew the lie that was just told, they all knew the real story.

"It's a good cover story" Aelita whispered to Jeremy, he nodded "She probably couldn't think of anything else. Can you imagine waking up with a huge wound and not knowing where it came from?" he asked back. Aelita thought about this "Poor girl…"

Silney looked over at them "What are you two talking about?" "Nothing!" They both said at once. Silney smiled at the two and started to head for school "Well, we better get to class. Come on everyone, we don't want to be late!" For now, my secret is my own.

There you go, a little action chapter! Hope you all liked it, I was racking my brain on ideas for it… Don't ask how I got mud, I'm not even sure myself… Oh well! Please review! And tune in next time!
