A/N: Sorry I don't have much time to write as of late. Lol. Well here's the chapter you guys have been waiting for!!!

Chapter 3: I want the Truth?

The lunch room was in chaos with everyone coming in for lunch, the lines were long to the point that none of the Lyoko warriors wanted to wait that long for food. Even Odd hesitated on waiting in line for cafeteria food. They sat at their rectangular lunch table and spoke about what happened only a few days ago. "Can you explain to us what happened in the factory, Odd?" Jeremy asked for the hundredth time in the small time span that the incident had happened.

Odd was already staring into space. He didn't seem to notice that Jeremy was talking to him or talking period. "Earth to Odd," Ulrich said as he waved his hand in front of Odd's face.

"What?" Odd looked around, startled. "What it is?" He looked at his friends and noticed their confused and worried expressions. "I'm sorry you guys…" He looked at the table, "I just keep thinking about it. Why would that girl, Rose, warn me about the next attack? I mean, she is the enemy, isn't she? And the thing about X.A.N.A. being a girl…that's hard to believe…"

They listened to him and could automatically tell that something was up. "What happened exactly, Odd?" Aelita asked him as she put a hand on his should. "What did she say?"

He shook his head and the scraping of a chair could be heard as he stood up. "She said that X.A.N.A. is going to put me against her and that I have to win…" He paused and clenched his fist. "She'll disappear if I win, 'When I run out of life points, I run out of life.' I can't do it." His eyes were empty when he looked up at them before he walking away.

All eyes watched Odd's back until he disappeared around the corner, then they all turned toward Jeremy. "He doesn't want to beat one of X.A.N.A.'s creations, what will we do?" asked Ulrich. "He can't do that without regretting it. He can't kill anything with the face of a human."

"Next time we see her, I'll take a sample from her data. Maybe I can find something out. Maybe she is a human and be devirtualized instead of killed. It just doesn't seem right." Jeremy stated.

Aelita placed a hand on him, "What do you mean Jeremy?"

"X.A.N.A. shouldn't have that much power to create a monster that takes the appearance of a human. Plus, the information that this Rose gave to him, X.A.N.A. being a girl, doesn't make sense. She is the only human looking creature we have seen on Lyoko. What if this girl is X.A.N.A.?"

The Lyoko group nodded. "We have to keep Odd away from her then." Yumi said quietly.

Ulrich and Jeremy nodded.

"But Jeremy, what if she isn't X.A.N.A.? What if Rose is one of X.A.N.A.'s creations?" Aelita asked keeping her voice as low as possible so the next table wouldn't hear them. "What if she is trapped like I was? What if she has that risk too?"

He nodded, taking it in to consideration. "I'm not going to send you to Lyoko until we figure it out Aelita. I won't risk losing you."

Their table became as quiet as possible before Yumi whispered, "We can go check it out tonight and figure out who and what that girl is. Let's just keep Odd out of it, let's let him pull his self together before he has to do what has to be done. He can-"

"Yumi, we can't do that to Odd. He'll-" Ulrich began speaking.

Aelita interrupted. "Odd will be fine. We need to figure out what she is before he has to do something that he may or may not regret."

The Lyoko group agreed. "Tonight at midnight."

Two hours before midnight…

Ulrich watched the clock, waiting for time to speed forward. His brown eyes glanced at Odd's sleeping figure. All he does is toss and turn and mumble in his sleep. Ulrich would admit that he was worried about Odd, but their friends would never know why unless they actually spent a night in their room.

He watched as Odd turned over again, his arm over his face and his leg hanging off the bed. "No…" Odd mumbled. "I don't want to…" He turned over again this time falling off the bed.

Ulrich quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He heard the muffle sounds of Odd. "Ow…" He mumbled. "Ulrich? Ulrich, are you awake?"

Ulrich pretended to stay asleep. He couldn't wake now and then get up two hours later.

Odd sighed before he got up and started putting on some clothes. I need to talk to her. I want to know why it has to be me that has to… He opened the bedroom door and closed it quietly behind him before walking to the factory. I must talk to her.

Ulrich opened his eyes before pulling his phone out and calling Jeremy. "I think Odd is going to the factory."

In Lyoko

Purple cat ears listened around. "Rose? Rose are you here?" He asked. The desolate desert didn't seem to have anyone there. "Rose? I need to talk to you." Odd began running to the nearest tower to search the next region. He ignored the details of the tower rippling like water when he entered the tower. He could recall how they sat in the tower to talk. "Where are you?" He jumped forward to the polar sector and stepped out of the tower.

The digitalized glaciers looked so real to him, and for once he felt cold. Strangely, he saw what appeared to be snowflakes. "Impossible…" He whispered. He rubbed his forearms to warm them up. Odd began looking around when he saw her. She was sitting on top of a glacier, watching the snow. "ROSE!" He yelled hoping to catch her attention.

Green eyes caught his. Odd… She waved her hand and a path to her from him appeared. Slowly, Odd treaded to her. "What are you doing here?" The white haired girl asked. Her voice was monotone and her eyes had become empty. "You should be in the human world, not in Lyoko. There isn't any trouble here."

"I wanted to know more…"
