Chapter 7 - Preparation and Promising

'You called?'

'Hello to you too, Jeremie'

'Sorry but I just wondered what was so important.'

'Never mind. You are forgiven.'

'So what did you want? Aelita said you'd figured something out.'

'What if I went virtual here? According to all matrix data I'm fully able to without endangering anyone anywhere. Even XANA would be safe.' Tara wondered. Jeremie seemed shocked, but quickly recovered and started thinking.

'Hmm, that would depend. If you were more than four feet away from this computer then you'd just turn virtual.' He answered quite quickly. Tara nodded, idicating for him to continue.

'But if she was less than four feet to the computer...?' Emily left the answer hanging.

'Then she'd automatically transfere most if not all of us over with you, but it could be quite painful, are you sure you want to try?' Jeremie told Tara, concern filling up his tone. Tara took a deep breath and nodded. Jeremie nodded as well.

'I'll check it over in the matrix first. Make sure XANA can't follow over too.' Tara said as she took the seat back from Emily again.

She ran through the matrix and groaned.

'Jeremie?' she called. Jeremie came back on again.

'Yes?'

'Xana's been at the matrix. I have to bring you out in reverse order. Plus, everytime I bring out a new person, I need one more person to turn virtual. I need the first person out to help me get out the second. The first and second to help me get the third out. And so on.'

Tara ran a hand through her hair and closed her eyes.

'Yumi's up first. Can you bring her on-screen?' Tara asked. Jeremie smiled, nodded and disappeared from view.

The black haired girl from the dump came on screen, 3D like Aelita. Tara smiled and the two spoke briefly, mostly about the transfere.

'Ok Yumi, I'll just in put the data, ok?' tara told her. Yumi nodded. Tara bent over as she typed in the information, letting Yumi see behind Tara. She stiffened.

'Tara. Why is Hiwatari behind you?' She asked furiously. Kai rolled his eyes and Tara glanced behind her confusedly. She groaned.

'Kai is helping. But that reminds me Yumi. If I get you out, then you have to promise not to attack him like last time, alright.' Tara told her firmly. Yumi looked at her with wide eyes and low-hanging jaw.

'You have got to be kidding me! I am not being nice to him!' Yumi protested. Tara smiled.

'Umm, Yumi? DO you remember what was in your black back the day we went to Lyoko?' Tara asked her sweetly. Yumi thought for a moment, then blushed furiously.

'You DARE Eglise!' She cried angrily. Tara grinned and held up the black backpack in front of the screen.

'You wantie? You promisie. Now.' Tara told her plainly. Yumi sighed and rolled her eyes.

'Fine. I won't attack Hiwatari. But don't expect me to like him or anything!' Yumi said reluctantly.

'Not Yumi Ishyama.' Boris groaned as he sat up. He had previously been silent where someone had knocked him out. He was just waking up now.

Tara groaned too. 'Will somebody get him outta here?' she asked irritably. Stephan, Spencer and Gary got him out.

'Thank you.' Tara replied to them as they came back in. She turned back to the grumpy Yumi and smiled sweetly again.

'Ready?' Yumi nodded and disappeared. Tara turned top the group.

'How will you get her out?' asked Ray curiously. Tara winked at him.

'Wait and see. Oh but guys...!' They all turned to her seriously.

'Yes?' asked Kai.

'Expect the unexpected of it all.' Tara told them. She turned back to the computer and pressed one key.

'ENTER'
