"Aren't you guys too young to be playing that?" Ulrich asked. The gang was in Alex's room, Odd had challenged Alex to a game of 'Mortal Kombat'. "Who cares? It's fun!"
"We do!" Aelita and Yumi said at the same time, "These games always have half naked girls in them!" Yumi said.
"I'm more concerned about the excessive amounts of blood." Aelita said.
"Coming from the girl who's only the best in here at 'Bioshock'?" Odd said to Aelita.
"Bioshock's not even half as bloody as this. Besides, there's no decapitation, or dismembering, or ripping the skin from peoples bodies. It's just a shooting game."
"Hey Alex?" Jeremy asked, "Where'd you get the money for all this?"
"Franz Hopper's and Anthea Schaeffer's online bank accounts. Their savings are immense. There's still about three million left."
"Three MILLION!?" Odd said in complete disbelief.
"Don't even think about it Della Robbia."
"How did you even, oh, hacker right." Jeremy said.
"No." Alex said.
"But I really think we should!" Odd protested.
"Just because she's your girlfriend doesn't mean I can be convinced in three days. Maybe at some point, but not now Della Robbia."
Then Ulrich walked by, looked depressed and also pissed.
"I miss something?" Alex asked Odd, Ulrich had seemed fine earlier.
Odd pointed and Alex saw Yumi talking with a black haired Scottish kid, "That's William Dunbar, Ulrich's arch rival in the race for Yumi's heart. Ulrich can't figure it out, but Yumi see's William as more of an annoyance than anything else. Besides Ulrich's competitive nature, he has major jealousy issues when it comes to Yumi."
"Hey guys," Yumi said approaching them, "What's with Ulrich?"
"According to what Odd told me, you two are an extremely dysfunctional couple."
"Oh no, he's not jealous again is he?" she sighed, "How am I ever gonna convince him there's nothing between me and William."
"You tell him and make sure he gets it through that iron thick skull of his before he starts thinking you're just a fantasy and goes out with Sissi." Alex told her.
"Dr. Phil much?"
A blush crept into Alex's face, "When I wasn't helping dad I liked to hang around the grounds of Kadic during passing periods. I started a relationship with girl, we enjoyed each other's company greatly. But she got jealous like Ulrich. I never could tell her how much I really cared. I got lucky and got over it. Doesn't mean you or him will though."
"Alright. Hey have you seen Aelita?"
"She's shooting up splicers on 'Bioshock'. She's a natural." Odd said.
"Yes!" Aelita said. She had finished the part where she had to research splicers to get farther, when one jumped out of the TV. Chances are everyone in a five mile radius heard the scream.
"AELITA!" Alex shouted upon hearing her scream. Then Alex's phone rang, "Alex! X.A.N.A. has just launched an attack!"
"Explains why Aelita just screamed!" Alex said as he and Yumi ran for the dorms.
As Alex opened the door to the dorm building Aelita barreled into him. "Aelita!"
"A splicer jumped out of your TV and now it's chasing me!"
"Please tell me you're jo-!" he was cut off as a bullet grazed his cheek, "AHAA! Son of A!" he shut up as he saw a man with mutilated face, half a bird mask, and pistol aimed at them.
"I believe you, LET'S MOVE!" Alex said, and then he pulled out his phone, "Jeremy? Are you at the factory?"
"I'm on the computer, what's the attack?"
"A killer drug addict from a video game.!"
"You're not serious."
Jeremy then he heard a gunshot, "You're serious."
Odd, Ulrich and Sam heard the commotion, everyone was screaming by now and the police had been telephoned.
When Sam saw a psychopath with a distorted face chasing Aelita, Alex, and Yumi, she got a very crazy idea. She pulled out her skateboard and skated towards them, "Hey freak show!" she jumped off her board and smacked the splicer upside the face with it.
"Thanks," Alex said, "Come on!" he grabbed Sam by the arm and dragged her along.
Alex, Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, and Sam ran into the forest.
"I thought you didn't trust her yet." Odd said to Alex.
"I don't, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and there's always a 'Return to the Past'."
"What the hell are you two talking about?" Sam demanded.
"You'll find out. Jeremy, you know how people can be X.A.N. right?"
"Right,"
"Have figured how to Jeremyify anyone yet?"
"Yes, but their power is limited."
"I can fix that, cause we don't have a choice, we have to protect innocents."
"I'll start up the procedure."
They soon got to the factory, Alex skateboarding in. then went down to the computer room, taking Sam.
"What's she doing here?" Jeremy asked.
"She risked herself for Aelita that's good enough for me. But she's staying up here unless we really need her." Alex explained.
"Okay, who's getting Jeremyified?"
"I am." Yumi said.
"Alright, the rest of you get down to the scanners."
"What's going on!?" Sam demanded.
"I'd tell you, but I don't have the right. The whole group has to agree to it." Jeremy told her.
"You ready Yumi?" Alex asked.
She nodded.
"Alright, here we go!" suddenly electrical currents shot from celling and connected to Yumi.
"Whhooooaaa, ho ho. Oh YEAH!" Yumi said'
"Hey! Be careful."
Yumi nodded and left.
"Hey Einstein, what do you propose we do about four Megatanks?" Odd said sarcastically.
"What's the matter Odd? Losing you touch?" Ulrich mocked.
"You two can play 'Alpha Male' later." Alex said, perfectly calm, "Empower, super sprint." With the added strength to his sword he sent a closed Megatank over the edge.
"Hornets!" Jeremy warned them. Sure enough five Hornets were coming at them.
"Joy." Ulrich said.
"I'll handle them." Alex said, his left hand glowing with fire. With one swing of his hand five fire balls shot and hit the Hornets with perfect accuracy. He then got blasted by the last Megatank, he survived but was holding onto the ledge for dear life. Odd Ulrich and Yumi managed to dispatch the last Megatank, as they were devitalized.
"Alex! You have to help Aelita!"
"I'm hanging from a ledge here!" he watched in horror as the Scyphozoa floated towards Aelita and grabbed her in its tentacles. "No! No no no no no, NO!" suddenly a black angel wing shot out of Alex's back. The wing was about five feet long. With a mighty flap Alex was airborne. He quickly cut Aelita free and she deactivated the tower.
Back at Kadic…
Luckily no one had any fatal injuries, yet. Yumi got there just in time. Using the super speed this form gave her she slammed into the splicer and keep him down with some martial arts, "Make my day death addict!" he got up, but she didn't have hard time bringing him down again. She held him off long enough for Aelita to deactivate the tower.
"Where did that wing come from?" Aelita asked.
"I don't know, guess it was a power I didn't know I had."
"Putting that to the side, what about Sam?" Jeremy asked
"I'm not too sure about letting her on Lyoko just yet." Alex said, "But she risked her life for Aelita and that's good enough for me."
"I trust her!" Odd said.
"Alex makes a point. However, I still think we should wait." Ulrich said.
"I agree." Yumi said.
"I." Aelita said.
"Sorry Sam," Jeremy said, "But the vote has to unanimous. Return to the past now."
