Me : On with the story
Today I decided to pick up writing in my Journal again.
Dear Journal,
Well, where do I even begin?
My life here at Kadic is so different! With Lyoko, and Xana…It just so overwhelming, sometimes it even makes my head spin.
Despite being so peculiar, I love my new friends: A genius, a butt-kicking Japanese girl, a joker, a sort of grumpy martial-artist, and a virtual girl. Not your normal everyday friends.
Odd is the joker. I'm starting to get used to how he eats, but I still think that it's really disgusting. Although, he definitely is the funniest; sometimes he makes jokes funnier than mine!
Xana has given us a few weeks off. I like it, but it seems... fishy. Man, I sound like Jeremy. I should push the worries out of my mind for now. But still...
The fight against Xana is going pretty well, I guess, as well as a battle with an evil AI can go. The last attack was very er…interesting. Yeah, it was real interesting. We had to fight a teddy bear. Now, I know what you're thinking: Oh no! You had to fight A TEDDY BEAR? OH, THE HORROR! IT MUST HAVE BEEN TERRIFYING!
Well actually, it was pretty scary. This wasn't your usual teddy bear. No, this teddy bear was actually about two stories tall. Yeah, you heard me.
That's not all. Aelita almost died that time. I still feel guilty about it: I had one arrow, no fireballs, and she was down to ten life points. My shot missed, but fortunately, Odd saved us just in time. If only I would have gotten a better shot...
Man, Jeremy would have been crushed. It's obvious that—despite his protests—he likes her.
I should stop dwelling on the past. Odd saved her, and that's what mattered. :)
I did one thing right though. I helped Milly by going to the prom with her. At the same time, I was showing up Sissi. It felt awesome.
Despite how much I like it here, and I like my new friends, I still miss my family and my old friends. I wonder how Patricia is doing. I hope she's okay...
I'll write more on the subject, later. Right now, I have to leave if I don't want to be late for breakfast.
Sincerely,
Peter
I closed my journal and made sure to hide it in a secure place before jogging out and shutting the door behind me.
"Hey Einstein, any news about Lyoko?" I inquired upon receiving my tray and sliding into a seat next to Jeremy and Odd.
"None yet. Everything's quiet, for now," he answered, pushing his glasses farther up the bridge of his nose with a single finger.
"So, you ready for science today?" the young blond genius asked, a hint of eagerness in his voice. "We'll be learning about,"- I held up a hand to stop him.
"For us simpletons sake, can you please stop? I doubt we would understand, and anyway, you know I hate sciences," I groaned.
Jeremy frowned, taking a bite of his croissant.
"Can I have your,"-
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm hungry," I responded irritably.
Odd pouted. "Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"PRETTY please?"
"NO."
"Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"For Lyoko's sake, I said NO, Odd!"
"Pretty please with a whip cream and a cherry on top?"
"Odd, I'm going to kill you!"
"Pretty please with whip cream and blueberry pancakes and a cherry on,"-
"TAKE IT BEFORE I STRANGLE YOU!" I growled, barely managing to not yell as I shoved the tray toward him.
He happily dug in.
"You could have just avoided that by giving it to him in the first place," Jeremy commented. I grumbled something mean under my breath about 'blueberry pancakes' and 'cherries on top'.
"Hey, what's new?" a familiar bright voice asked, a raven-haired girl sliding into a normal seat between Ulrich and I.
"Well, Peter almost strangled Odd over croissants," Ulrich informed her.
I scowled as Yumi looked toward me with a bright smile. "Anyway," I started, trying to force the frustration and aggravation I felt out of my tone, "what's new with you? How did you do on your Italian test yesterday?"
Yumi's face fell.
"I failed," she sighed with a grimace. "Italian is pretty hard. It also doesn't help that I have to take off time to study because of Xana."
I noticed Jeremy squirm in his seat. He looked a bit guilty, but I didn't point it out. It wasn't in my nature.
"Well, you know, I could help you," I offered.
Yumi looked at me, a glint of hope in her eyes.
"I'm pretty good at speaking Italian. I'm sure I could help you for the test," I explained. Yumi smiled gratefully at me.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"You're the best."
"You know it," I responded, a grin growing on my face. Ulrich gave me a shove.
"We don't need another Odd," he snorted. I looked at him with an innocent smile.
"Well, two Odd's are better then one," Odd chirped, showing a dazzling and toothy grin.
"Not for us," Jeremy responded, taking a bite of his croissant.
Jeremy yelped and jumped a bit.
"Ouch! What did you do that for?"
"Me?" Odd asked, feigning innocence.
"What did he do?" Ulrich sighed.
"He kicked me," Jeremy responded with a glare directed at Odd.
"Now children, play nice," I chastised them.
"Coming from you," Jeremy snapped at me. I glared, sending a kick his way. Ulrich yelped.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"Oops. It was for Jeremy. Give it to him, would you please?" I asked. I was rewarded with a kick in the shin. Whether it was from Jeremy or Ulrich, I didn't know. Both were glaring at me.
"Am I supposed to play babysitter here? Come on Jeremy, you're supposed to be the mature one," Yumi complained. A grin started breaking out as Jeremy huffed and we resumed a game of 'kick' under the table.
Yep, these really are one-of-a-kind friends.
"Oh no, guys if we are late one more time Mrs. Hertz is going to kill us." Jeremy said.
"Right lets get going I will meet you in the park later Yumi."
"Thanks." she said before we headed off to class.
In Class…
"Our heating plant uses energy supplied by a nuclear reactor thanks to which we produced thousands of megawatts of electrical power. Here we have the cooling tower; this is the turbine, the alternator, and then finally the reactor. This plant is one of the most powerful in the world as chief engineer I am particularly concerned with safety. In order to guarantee this safety, security measures have been applied at every level of production. The plants design is functioning and problem phases, which we call in-depth defense. I will be glad to answer any questions."
Both Jeremy and I raised our hands. "First Peter, then Jeremy."
Mrs. Hertz said. "I was wondering, let's say that if a virus was to infect the reactor, and increase the magnitude of the electrons that give us that power."
"Well my dear boy, I do not think that would happen."
"But still let's say it did, and the virus could control it, it could hit anywhere it wanted or even blow up the town correct?"
"Well if the team wasn't able to detect the virus in time then yes, but that has never happened before."
"Now Jeremy." Mrs. Hertz said.
"I would like to know if an atomic process exists for fusing virtual particles and materializing them in the real world." Jeremy had several of his notes together, I noted.
"That is in the realm of science fiction, sorry."
"Jeremy is our brightest student, but he is a bit of a dreamer," Mrs. Hertz came to his defense. Every student laughed besides me , Ulrich , and Odd.
Dreamer, my foot. Jeremy was just asking if materialization was possible in the real world is all. I gave the genius a look of "You did well, Einstein".
Just then the protector blew. "Well now what happened here?" I could see Mrs. Hertz trying to turn on the protector. "Most likely nothing just a little blown fuse that is all."
Minutes later the bell rang.
"I'm telling Xana could be up to something." Jeremy said. I saw Yumi outside waiting for us.
"Come on Einstein, do not get too worried. I mean things like this could be natural." I shrugged.
"Peter's right it was just a short circuit." Odd said.
Yumi nodded over to us and we went over to her. "Odd I thought it over, you can use the gym for your group the um Fox Trot Fanatics." Mr. Delmas said.
"It's the Pop Rock Progressives sir." I said.
"Yeah." Odd cheered.
"Oh and Peter when you get a chance, Jim wants to talk to you." "I will go now." I said. I jogged towards Jim's room. "Jim you there?" I asked as I knocked on the door.
He greeted and waved me in. "Hey kid, I wanted to talk to about something come in."
I came in I could see Jim was using his weights.
"So what's up?"
"I wanted to talk to you about your family."
I gulped. Did he figured out I am not from this world?
"M-my family?"
"Yeah, remember how we first met in the woods?" I nodded. "What happened to your family? I mean they wouldn't have just sent a teenager to France by himself."
"Well they wouldn't if I didn't run away."
"You ran away, all the way to France?"
"No not like all the way just to the air port."
"Do you want me to contact them? Maybe I can let them know you are okay."
"It's fine, Uncle Jim."
"Pete running away isn't the best thing for you."
"Its ok I am fine really, I just need some time to cool off, I like it here in France. Everything is so beautiful and I can go to Paris the city of romance see the Eiffel tower."
"Well, it's your choice kid. I just want to help you."
"Uncle Jim, I appreciate it really, but I have to go and meet the others at the cafeteria."
"Alright, but hey I was wondering."
"Hm." My eyes widened as I put my hand behind my mouth to hold the grin.
"You guys wouldn't need a slide trombone player would you?"
"Um sure Uncle Jim, but ask my friends first."
"Thanks kid."
"No prob, now I got to go." I said before running off to the cafeteria.
I sat down with the others. "So what did Jim talk to you about?" Odd asked.
"Nothing just wanted to talk about my family."
"He didn't find out you're from another world did he?" Yumi asked.
"No he didn't so how did the auditions go?" I asked.
"They went well, but Sissi and her gang want Nicholas to be in our band." Ulrich said.
"Was he good?"
"Better then Naomi." Ulrich asked.
"Hey I told you, Naomi just needs a little practice."
"I am guessing you like this Naomi, Odd."
"So?" I could see him blushing.
"Yumi how about after lunch we go to the park and I will help you out with your Italian."
"Thanks I appreciate it."
"Since we do not have any classes for the day I am going to going to go to the factory." Jeremy said.
"Right, say hello to you-know-who for me." I said. I could see Jeremy blushing as he got up.
"Man I love making him blush."
"I know , its so funny." Odd said as we laughed.
Meanwhile somewhere on Lyoko…
Electricity was moving threw the circuits as a tower was being activated in the desert sector.
At the Park…
"Ciao Yumi."
"That's hello correct?"
"Yup." We sat on the park bench.
"Alright how do you say my brother broke my dad's vase?"
"Why?"
"Cause my stupid brother Hiroki broke dad's vase."
"He did?"
"Yeah when mom found out she was really mad."
"Um I think it is: 'Mio fratello ha rotto vaso di mio padre'."
"Cool. You're good."
"Thanks."
"Here's another one. Tu sei un pazzo innamorato pazzo."
"What does that mean?"
"It means you're a love struck fool and I think you should ask Ulrich out already."
Just then Yumi blushed and punched me in the shoulder. "Oh shut up, we are just good friends."
"Hey that kind of hurt." I said while chuckling.
At the Factory…
Jeremy pressed the button to go to the lab and the elevator closed. The elevator finally reached to the lab where Jeremy typed in the code. The doors opened and Jeremy went on his chair, which went to the monitor, and he started to type away at the keyboard. "Jeremy! Xana's launch an attack." "What!"
"I am almost positive! I felt pulsations earlier before you arrived."
"Alright, I will call Yumi and the others."
"Yeah so, Odd then said." My phone started to ring.
"Yes, Jeremy…right Yumi and I will be there call Odd and Ulrich." I said before hanging up my phone. "Xana's launch the attack lets get to the tunnel."
"Right." We headed towards the tunnel. Odd and Ulrich were in the gym listening to Jim's routine.
"Um thanks Jim, but we are more of a rock group not a military brass band. We appreciate the offer, though," Ulrich said.
Odd's phone started to ring. "Yes, Jeremy. Right, Ulrich and I will be right there."
"Sorry Jim, but we got to go." Ulrich said before.
"We'll have to audition you another time." Odd said before they ran off. Jim's shoulders drooped.
At the Factory…
"Good your all here at last."
"What's the problem Einstein?" Odd asked.
"Odd, Jeremy and I looked it over. Xana's going to use the reactor to blow up the town." I said.
"What?"
"That's NUCLEAR SABOTAGE! We should alert the authorities." Yumi said.
"I wish we could but you know as well as I do if they find out about the supercomputer, that means we say goodbye to Aelita and Xana wins heads down." I said. "I hate to do this but lets take a vote for who wants to tell the authorities and who doesn't, now for who does."
"Look I know but if the pylon get to a million volts Xana won't only blow up the town but everything else." Jeremy said. "Ok , will take a vote who's for?"
Yumi and Ulrich raised their hands. "Ok and who doesn't" Jeremy, Odd, and I raised our hands.
"Don't I get a say in this?" Aelita's face popped up.
"How much did you hear?" I asked.
"All of it, but I want you tell the authorities."
"But Aelita..." Jeremy said. "Jeremy, you know as well as I do that if anything happens in your world and we can't change it after the return trip its all over." Aelita said.
"Ok, Ulrich and Yumi go tell the authorities." I could tell by the sound of his voice he was going to cry. "Aelita I am sending you Odd and Peter."
"Right." she said before her face disappeared. "Thank you Aelita." Yumi said.
Odd and I went down the ladder as soon as Ulrich and Yumi went in the elevator. Odd and I both got into the scanner. "I am transferring you to the Desert Region. Transfer Odd, Transfer Peter. Scanner Odd, Scanner Peter. Virtualization."
We landed. "Aelita is a little east of you; try to get there and fast." Jeremy commanded. We ran as fast as we could and pretty soon we caught up to Aelita.
"You know your making a big decision Aelita." I said.
"I know."
"Ok I got it the scan has located the activated tower, it's in the desert region near an oasis."
Vision
I could see Ulrich, Odd, and Aelita on Lyoko. "This is nuts, it should be right here, but its not." Odd said. Pulsations were pointing to the Oasis but inside and the others couldn't tell.
End of Vision
"Peter?" Aelita asked. "I just had a vision; the tower is near an Oasis."
"I know where it is! Follow me." Aelita said. Odd and I followed her to the Oasis.
"Hey guys, the teachers didn't believe Ulrich and Yumi. They are going to try and get the authorities."
"Right Jeremy. We'll try to move faster." I said. As we finally reached the Oasis.
"This is nuts, it should be right here, but its not." Odd said.
"It's definitely here; look at the pulsations. It leads right here." Aelita said.
"I have an idea." I said. I got closer to the Oasis and I put one finger in the pool. The two looked at me with amazement.
"Peter, how did you know that?" Odd said. "It must have been in my vision. Look we have to get here before—"
"Guys at 12 0 clock there are two Bloks and Hornet coming at you."
"Odd, take Aelita and get that tower deactivated I will try and hold them off." I said as I got out my arrow.
"Peter." Aelita said.
"Come on princess; let's go." Aelita hesitated but then jumped down into the Oasis following by Odd.
"Alright you little monsters, lets get the party started." I charged up my fire ball in my palm. I shot it at the hornet which dodged. "Jeremy, how is the pylon doing?"
"Not good, it's almost up to 80 volts, Odd and Aelita are nearly at the tower. Just try to hang on as long as possible." I shot my arrow at the hornet which exploded but the Blok fired at me, and the shot fired at my arm which made me bent down.
"Peter you just lost 20 life points. Odd and Aelita are near the tower but are a Krab is attacking them."
"I will try to do the best I can Jeremy, but I am not Superman you know." I charged up another one of my fire balls at the Blok which I got.
"Yes." Just then the Blok shot at me.
"Peter you just lost another 30 life points , you only got 50 left."
"How's Odd doing?"
"Not good he lost 10 life points."
"Hang on I got an idea. Come on, you overgrown blockhead, follow me if you can." I said as I jumped down in cannonball style into the Oasis.
The Blok followed me and I could hear it was upside down that was when I took my shot with my arrow. "Way to go guys."
"I am guessing Odd took care of the Krab?"
"Yes, Aelita is taking care of the tower now." I could hear Jeremy initiating the Return to the Past and that was when I saw the white bubble.
We saw Yumi coming towards us with her breakfast. "So how did you do on your test this time?"
"I got a C, but only because of your lessons."
"Oh come on, Yumi, you're being too generous."
"You helped, thank you."
"Your welcome, so Odd are you going to get Nick in your group this time?"
"I guess nobody wants Naomi in the band, so yeah."
"You never know Odd. He might just help you guys out. He could be really good," Jeremy said.
