Sorry I took so long to update, I've been a little busy but here it is guys chapter 6!
Ulrich's POV
"Stupid creature" I muttered as the doors shot open
When I took my first step, I would've fallen if I hadn't grabbed a hold of the door. Did this thing take my energy away? I snapped out of my thoughts from a quiet sound coming from the upper floor. The elevator? Who else was he-?
"Jeremy!" My eyes widened as I totally forgot about Jeremy being here. I ran behind the transporter thingamabob and kept quiet as I heard the elevator doors open. I hear the sound of Jeremy's footsteps walking around the room.
"Hello?" He called "Anyone here?"
I kept still and didn't make a sound. I hear his footsteps leave and the sound of the elevator doors closing again. I got out of my hiding spot and sighed in relief.
"That was a close one. Thank you super hearing" I praised
I walked over to the elevator and went inside. Out of curiosity, I pressed the second button. The doors closed and I felt the old machine moving up.
…
The doors opened and revealed a room with a hologram projector in the center and a computer next to it.
"It's clear Aelita, head inside the tower" A voice said
Jeremy? Great, he'll see me. I hid behind the wall of the elevator and peeked my head out.
"Alright, return to the past now" Jeremy said
"Wait, why does that phrase sound so familiar? And why do I get the feeling like something's going to-"
All of a sudden, the room was filled with a bright white light.
…
"Happen" I finished
I looked around wondering where I was and found myself in Jeremy's dorm? How did I get here when I was at the factory?
"Another successful mission in Lyoko gang" I hear Jeremy say
I looked towards the foursome and remembered the experience I had in Lyoko. I decided to mess with the gang.
"What's Lyoko?" I asked
They all turned towards me and were shocked to see me. Yea, that's right, I'm here.
"Um…uh…" Yumi stuttered
"A new computer game we just got" Aelita blurted out
I raised an eyebrow.
"Yea! We each play a different character that looks really weird, for example a Japanese warrior" Odd said
I saw Yumi glare at Odd out of the corner of my eye.
"Yes exactly" Yumi gritted out and I refused the urge to burst out laughing "Another example is a freaking purple cat"
Odd was about to protest, but Jeremy cut him off.
"Yea, even a samurai warrior" He said "Very mysterious fellow"
"Oh, so who plays this samurai as you say?" I asked glancing at each member of the gang pretending to act confused
"No one, he was just a part of the game" Odd said slowly as if choosing his words carefully
I mentally smirked "If only you knew" I thought
My ear started twitching, but not so much that the gang will notice.
"Which one is that loser Belpois's dorm?" I hear the voice of Sissi say at the end of the boy's hallway
"The last one on the left" Herve said
"Good, now we can find out what big secret they've been keeping from the whole school"
I hear them quietly walk down the hallway and placed their ears against Jeremy's door. I stopped listening and stood up from the bed.
"And there is also a tow-"
"Hold up Einstein" I said walking over to the door "We have some visitors" I opened the door and Herve and Sissi fell forward and landed on the ground "Why Hello"
"Sissi! What the heck are you doing listening to our conversation" Yumi yelled
"That's none of your business!" Sissi yelled back
With that they both stood up and left the room.
"Ulrich" I turned to Aelita "How did you know they were there?" she asked
Great. Think, think!
"I just had a feeling they were" I answered
Before they could ask me anymore questions, the warning bell rang.
"Well you guys have to go to your class now, so I'm just gonna go around the campus and explore the place, bye" I said quickly as I left the room
…
5 hours later…
Wow, Kadiac Academy is huge! I can't believe it took me this long just for me to explore the place. I bet if I would've wolfed up, this could've gone faster. I checked the time on my watch.
3:15 P.M.
The gang should be done by now. I'll just wait by their classrooms. I hope they have the same classroom.
"Wait, how will I know what class their in-oh wait I have senses duh" I face palmed myself
A few minutes later, I reached Mrs. Hertz's science room. At least they're in the same classroom. I wouldn't know what I'll do. I leaned on the wall next to the classroom door with one foot on the wall and the other firmly on the ground supporting myself. I crossed my arms and waited for my friends.
BBBRRRIIIINNNGG!
As soon as the bell rang, kids came pouring out into the hallway. Five minutes later and not one person came out of Mrs. Hertz's classroom. I wonder why?
"Since you all were misbehaving while I trying to teach, you all have a 3 hour detention" I hear what I guess was Mrs. Hertz say
Well, that answers my question, but now what?
"I got to think of some way to get them out…Got it!"
Maybe if I say the principle sent me, she'll let the gang go. Wait, what if she asks for a pass. I sigh and look down at my feet when suddenly something plastic caught my eye. I looked in front of me and saw a plastic card along with a string to hang around your neck. I walked over to it and picked it up.
"Office Pass…huh, what a coincidence" I said as I placed it around my neck
I walked back to the science room and my hand on the handle. I took a deep breath and brought my act together. After I was done thinking over a plan, I opened the door and walked in. When I entered the classroom, the students and the teacher turned to me. Great, even more attention. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Odd, Jeremy, Yumi, and Aelita stare at me with wide eyes.
"I'm sorry to disturb your class Mrs. Hertz, but the principle has sent me" I said innocently while holding up the office pass around my neck
I saw the gang's jaw drop.
"Okay Mr.-"
"Stern. Ulrich Stern" I answered
"Alright, what does he need Mr. Stern?"
"He needs some students to help research a project he needs help in" I lie smoothly
"Okay Sissi and Nicholas-"My eyes widened at the sound of their names
"Oh um, actually the principle gave me a list" I prayed something will be in my pocket as I reached in there and pulled out a folded piece of paper. I opened it up and saw it was Odd's directions he gave me to find the cafeteria. I was meaning to throw this way, now I'm glad I didn't. "Uh…Is there an Aelita Stones, a Jeremy Belpois, an Odd Della Robbia, and a Yumi Ishiyama?" I asked staring at the paper then looking up to the teacher
"Yes there is" She turned to the students "Go ahead you four, you may skip class detention"
The gang hesitantly got up, got their stuff, and walked over to me. To make my act more believable, I said-
"Okay guys, let's go, the principle wants us to get started as soon as possible"
They nodded and we left the room. Once we were out in the courtyard, I turned towards the four who had shocked expressions on their faces. Ah…just like Lyoko.\
"What?" I asked innocently
"What did the principle need?" Aelita asked
"Don't know, never even met the guy" I shrugged
"So you mean-"Odd trailed off
"Yep, I'm that good of an actor"
"You, my friend are the best" Yumi said as she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me
"Don't blush, don't blush, don't you freaking blush-Dang it" I cursed myself as I felt my cheeks heat up
"Um…uh…L-let's g-go" I stuttered as I cursed myself again
I saw Yumi looking at me confused while Aelita and Jeremy held smirks on their faces and Odd trying to hold in his laughter. I growled unconsciously before I could stop myself.
"Wow Ulrich, you sounded exactly like a dog" Odd laughed
"Really" I said trying to sound like I'm not being sarcastic, but I saw Yumi stare at me suspiciously
"Yea, almost like a wol-"
"Anyway, we should go before someone sees us" I cut him off as I started walking towards the dorms, but stopped when the gang didn't follow "Guys?"
They snapped out of their daze and slowly followed behind me
…
When we reached Jeremy's dorm, I immediately flopped down on the bed and covered my face with a pillow. I felt the bed sink down as someone sat down next to my feet.
"Tired?" I hear Yumi ask
I nodded too exhausted to speak when I suddenly heard a howl. Ugh, sometimes I wish I didn't have to hear that howl again- Wait, why does it sound like- I stopped as I heard the howl again.
"Oh no" I thought
I snapped my eyes open, threw the pillow off my head startling the gang, jumped up from the bed and ran over to the window. I looked out and saw a flash of black run to the forest and a minute later, a man came out.
"No, not him, it can't be" I muttered aloud
"Ulrich?" I felt a hand on my shoulder, but I took no noticed as I remained still
"It's impossible, he can't be here, he just can't"
"Who's he" Yumi asked
I continued to watch the familiar looking man when he suddenly looked up at me as if noticing I was watching. Of course he noticed.
"Move back" I ordered the gang
"Why-"
"I said MOVE BACK!" I turned around in anger and felt my eyes turn a bright gold
They looked at me shocked, but did what I told them to. I turned back towards the window and saw him holding something small in his hand. It shined when the sunlight hit it and my eyes widened as at that moment I immediately knew what it was.
Ohh, cliffhanger. So what do you guys think this object is, or this mysterious person is? Please Review!
