Hey! I hope that you like. Please read. I wrote this in about 2-3 days and am so surprised by it. At first I didn't know what to put for the title and then it just hit me in the head and I suddenly had the rest of the story done.

Chapter 8: Twins, XANA, Sisters, and Lyoko

Ding. Ding. Ding.

"Lunch!"

A few papers flew up into the air as a blonde boy wearing purple charged out of the classroom. But before the boy reached the door the teacher stopped him. "Mr. Della Robbia, I would try to remember that I have already told you not to do that. You were warned before so now you have detention. You may go now," he said dismissing Odd.

The rest of the class who was still there laughed at him. His best friend, Ulrich, walked up and patted his roommates back.

"Don't worry, let's go eat," Ulrich said trying to hide his own laughter.

"Oh, shut up," Odd walking out of the door towards the cafeteria.

When they sat down at the table, Odd with two trays already, Jeremie, Aelita, Yumi, and William were sitting.

"Where are Sarah and Sam?" Ulrich asked the rest. The others all shrugged and looked around.

"Odd, so what happened with Tasha after we left?" Yumi chuckled as Odd's face grew a shade of pink.

"Whoa! What did happen? Aelita, I think that his face could match your hair," Ulrich teased.

Sissi walked by with Tasha in tow and they just glared at Odd. Odd looked down at the table and pushed his half-eaten trays out of the way.

"Okay, what really happened?" Jeremie asked.

Before Odd could answer the group saw Sam and Sarah walk into the woods. They all got up and were soon following them.

"Aelita, Jeremie, you guys go to the Factory. We'll meet you later," Yumi said, "with Sam and Sarah."



They all split up heading towards their own destination. However, they were all unaware of the curious sisters who had decided to follow. Neither of them divided, but chose to chase after the three boys that were with Yumi.

"Sarah duck!"

Sarah did as her brother had ordered and missed the swinging branch. As she did this Sam saw behind her and realized that they were being followed.

"Sarah, don't look now, but we're being watched," Sam said as he jumped over a log. Sarah did the same and rushed past him.

"Well, we'll have to change that. Won't we?" Sarah smirked.

Sam smiled; thinking the exact thing. Her plan was simple but it would easily work.

The two came to a clearing an jumped up into the trees. Hiding behind the branches and leaves they could see Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and William burst into the clearing. Shortly behind them Sissi and Tasha bumped into them.

"What are you doing here?" Odd snarled at his cousins bitterly.

"Hey, where did they go?" William asked looking around.

"We lost them! Find them!" Odd ordered. He was frustrated and it showed. No one knew why he was mad but they did what he said.

Sissi and Tasha just stood there, not happy that they were caught.

"Who are you looking for?" Tasha asked all of a sudden.

"Yeah, and can we help?" Sissi said looking in Ulrich's direction. Yumi noticed. "No, we do not need your help," she snapped. Sissi glared at her in response. The others kept looking for Sam and Sarah.

'Sarha, now what's your plan?'

'Now we run,' Sarah replied as she jumped and ran out of sight. 'XANA told us to lead the warriors to the Hermitage, right?'

Sam sighed, but still he followed his sister. 'Yes, but why? Why is he so interested in the Lyoko group?'

'Good question but I can't answer it,' Sarah said.



'I don't think that we should trust him. Hey, look. There it is!' Sam exclaimed, pointing at their destination.

"Good, they took the bait," Sam said.

"But, what about those two?"Sarah said examining Sissi and Tasha.

The Lyokonians heard rustling and followed the noises all the way to the Hermitage. Sissi and Tasha wouldn't go away so they followed.

"There are six people, but what happened to Aelita and jeremie?" Sam asked.

"The Hermitage? Why would they go here?" Ulrich asked giving the others glances.

"What's the 'Hermitage'?" Tasha asked curiously.

"It's none of your business. Now leave!" Yumi growled, as she clenched her hands into fists.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

The sound of a bell went off from Odd's pocket. "Oh…Jeremie," Odd said realizing that his phone was ringing.

"Jer, what's up?" Odd asked as the others looked at him.

"Odd, a tower is activated. Hurry and get here, Aelita needs your help," Jeremie replied frantically.

"We're on our way," Odd said closing his phone. "XANA's activated a tower, let's go."

'No, get them! Stop them!' XANA screamed in the twins' heads. The two winced and jumped down from the trees, landing in front of the large group.

They stopped running to not bump into them.

"What's up with everyone today?" William said thrusting his hands up into the air.

"We have orders," Sam said loudly.

Everyone looked shocked.

"From who? They don't have XANA's symbol," Ulrich almost whispered but everyone heard him.



The twins smiles grew wider and they smirked. "It's none of your business," Sarah said mischievously. She put her hand up into the air and wind whirled around it, "Leafend," Sarah shouted.

Wind blew around harshly as leaves flew out of the trees and spun in the air. It was like a small tornado circling the group. The leaves swooped down and cut their flesh leaving blood on their skin.

Ulrich and Yumi fell to the ground holding their wounds like Sissi and Tasha did. Odd groaned in pain while William went to his knees.

'More, Sarah, more!' XANA shouted.

"I can't!" Sarah cried as she fell from the air that she had floated to. The wind stopped blowing, the leaves floated down, and Sarah lay unconscious on the ground. Sam rushed over to her to check if she was okay. He had a worried expression on his face.

"Sarah, are you alright?" Sam asked her. When she didn't reply he checked her pulse. It was faint but he felt it.

"What happened? Why did you attack us?" Odd asked surprised.

"How did she do that?" Sissi said astonished.

"Is she okay?" Yumi wondered.

'Leave, now,' XANA said sounding defeated and angry.

A black fog wrapped around the twins blocking them from the others and then as soon as it came it disappeared along with the twins.

"Where'd they go?" Tasha asked.

"We've got to tell Jeremie. Let's get to the Factory," Ulrich said walking ahead. The others followed suit.

-At the factory-

"Jeremie, did you hear that?"

"Huh?" Jeremie turned around in his seat to look up at Aelita. "Hear what?"

"I guess it's nothing," Aelita said a little worried.



Jeremie turned back to the supercomputer only to find that he couldn't do anything. Nothing that Jeremie did; made it work again.

"What's going on?" Jeremie asked.

It suddenly started up again but continued not listening to Jeremie. He pressed the enter button and nothing happened for him. But on the screen it popped up two new cards. One belonged to a Hope Steiger and the other belonged to a John Steiger. The cards didn't show the pictures of the two new Lyokians and it didn't give any other information about them.

The supercomputer, itself, did scanner, transfer, and virtualization. Two figures popped on the screens map. "What just happened?" Jeremie asked finding that he had control of the supercomputer again.

-On Lyoko-

"What just happened?" John said to his sister as he looked her up and down.

Her outfit was many different shades of green colors. One of her pants leg went down to her ankle while the other was cut at the knee. Her shirt sleeves went down to an elbow and the other down to her middle finger. In the middle of her shirt was a plant symbol. She wore ballerina shoes and a headband around her neck that read 'John' with XANA's symbol in it. Her forehead also held the symbol.

Hope looked back at her brother and was amazed by his outfit.

He was wearing a blue shirt with black stripes down the sides of it and a lightning strike was in the middle of it. His bottoms were some black Capri with blue stripes on the sides of them. Around his neck he wore a headband of his own that said 'Hope' with a XANA's symbol in it, too. Just like his sisters, he had the XANA's symbol on his forehead.

"Where are we?" Hope and John asked in unison.

-Off Lyoko-

"We'll be there shortly, Einstein," Ulrich said into his phone.

"Where are we going?" Sissi complained.

"You shouldn't be here," Yumi shouted to the back of the running group.

"We have a couple of followers with us," Ulrich added into his phone.



I know that I made the gang OOC, and I have no idea why I did it. The gang wasn't supposed to be so harsh or mean. Send flames about it, I don't care. I know that I messed up on it, but please review.

I will have another story up on fanfic for Code Lyoko very soon. Do you like Hope and John's outfits? Who are they? Why are they on Lyoko? PLEASE REVIEW!
