Author's note: Happy Labor day, to those who celebrate it!
I'd rather not talk about it
POV Naomi's
Ulrich, Yumi, Patricia, Odd, Aelita, Kiwi, and I were running in the woods. We were panting really heavily, and our cheeks started to red from exhaustion while Jeremy was way ahead of us, holding a stop watch.
"Come on, let's move it a little faster! Faster!" Jeremy exclaimed waving his hand. We tried to run as fast as we could.
"I don't believe it, he's trying to kill us." Aelita said.
"I think you're right about that Aelita." I huffed.
Odd tried to continue but started to stumble, he fell right at Jeremy's feet and Kiwi sniffed him. We all laid down, trying to catch our breaths, Jeremy pressed his stop watch.
"You guys are ridiculous, you're way too slow. What a bunch of snails. Except you Odd, even a snail runs faster than you." Jeremy badgered, looking down at Odd before he got up.
"Since when does the least athletic person in the world thinks he's better than I am?" Odd asked pointing to himself.
"Hey that's true. Getting a little carried away, aren't you Einstein?" Ulrich asked as Yumi, Aelita, Patricia and I got up while Yumi had her arms crossed, and even Kiwi growled as he was mad at Jeremy.
"Don't blame me. The stopwatch doesn't lie you guys." Jeremy replied.
At the benches
Ulrich, Odd, and Patricia sat on one bench while Aelita, Yumi, and I sat on the other. Jeremy crossed his arms.
"That was even worse than the last time, how do you expect to beat XANA if all of you don't speed it up?" Jeremy asked. Odd shrugged.
"You're a real comedian Einstein. All you ever do is time us. Anybody can do that." Odd replied.
"He's right you know." Patricia agreed as Jeremy looked up.
"One thing is for sure, if you guys don't get into shape you're never going to get any stronger and XANA's going to beat you hands down. But if you think you want another trainer, be my guest." Jeremy told us, his hand was up.
"Maybe there's a better - a better way of getting in shape." Yumi said.
"I get it, you're just badly trained. And if you guys can't keep up, it's my fault." Jeremy argued.
"Well yeah." We all agreed as Jeremy crossed his arms.
"Okay, well fine. I may not be the best trainer in the world, but you have to admit you don't exactly listen to me." Jeremy huffed.
"That's true too. Maybe we need to find someone else, a specialist." Yumi suggested.
"A specialist? You mind telling me where you expect to find one?" Jeremy asked.
Ulrich, Odd, and I looked at each other while Aelita and Patricia smiled.
In the boy's dormitory
Jeremy knocked on Jim's door, and he opened it. It seemed like exercise music was being played.
"Now just what do you think you're doing here? Can't a man have a little peace and quiet on a Saturday?" Jim asked.
"Well it's simple. Although, well you might think this is a little crazy." Jeremy answered. Jim closed the door.
"Try to hear us out though." Patricia said.
"Nothing can surprise me ever since I orbited the Earth. Spit it out Belpois huh?" Jim asked.
"Um well we heard you were once a Special Forces trainer." Jeremy replied. Jim held his hands behind him, and started walking.
"That's right. Special Forces, yes I am. The Secret Division force." Jim chuckled.
"Ah those were the good old days. But that being said, I'd rather not talk about it." Jim told us.
"Would you be willing to train students like us Jim?" Jeremy asked. Jim turned around, surprised.
"Train students?" Jim repeated, surprised by Jeremy's request.
"Uh yeah for a kind of commando camp like you…. your special intervention thingamajig." Jeremy answered.
"Deal. Meet me at the Red Cross trail roads at 1500 hours, sharp. Dress for sports." Jim told us.
"Today, already?" I asked.
"It touches me that students recognize and want to benefit from my experience and skills." Jim answered, he put his hand on Jeremy's shoulder.
"Especially you Belpois. I never imagined anyone could ever turn you into a man. A real one." Jim said.
"No you don't understand, I was talking about training the others. Not for me." Jeremy explained before Jim opened the door, his music was still playing.
"This course is for everybody. 1500 hours and I want you there on time, you hear?" Jim asked closing the door.
Yumi, Patricia, and I started laughing, while Odd put his hand on Jeremy's shoulder.
"This will do wonders for you Jeremy. Now you'll be able to put your stopwatch away for a little while. Alright!" Odd exclaimed as he tried to show off his muscles.
Under the arches
"This is stupid. I can't do a commando camp, I've got a ton of other things on my plate." Jeremy complained.
"I think you're just afraid of sweating a little." Yumi said.
"Same here." Patricia agreed as we continued walking, but Jeremy stopped.
"What if XANA attacks while we're training?" Jeremy asked.
"Bring your computer with you, that's all." Ulrich replied before Aelita walked up to him and she put her hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Jeremy. Jim's commando camp can't possibly do us any harm huh?"
"With Jim, you never can tell." Jeremy answered.
Later on the cross roads
We were running a little late, when we met up with Jim.
"I have never seen a weaker pack of legless slugs in my life! 1500 hours sharp, does not mean 1502 or 1503." Jim spoke.
"Um we're not going to split hairs over a few seconds, huh? My watch –" Odd started but Jim got in his face.
"Your watch doesn't answer to me Della Robbia. I give the orders around here so straighten up!" Jim ordered before he started hopping on his feet.
"Okay let's go, we'll make our way to the combat clearing where we'll start you with some basic training. Like push-ups." Jim said as we started jogging, while Aelita and Jeremy were already behind us.
"This is not going to be fun." Patricia whispered to me as we were jogging side by side.
"Not it is not." I nodded agreeing, with her.
We made it to the spot Jim had mentioned earlier, and started doing push-ups.
"Thirteen, fourteen. Fifteen." Jim counted as we started to struggle while he walked in front of us.
"Hold that fifteen, hold it." Jim ordered as Jeremy collapsed on the ground, and I tried holding it as much as possible.
If this goes on any longer…! I thought.
"Hold it I said. Alright, alright one, two, three, four. On your feet, breath in, breath out." Jim said as we started doing another exercise. Jeremy was completely wiped out, but we kept going.
"Easy does it, easy does it. One, two, three, four five." Jim counted.
"I think, we should have stuck with Jeremy." I sighed.
"Yeah, he may not be my real uncle but I feel like he's worse than Jeremy right now." Patricia agreed as we continued doing the exercise. Jim bent down in front of Jeremy.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing Belpois? This is only the beginning, by the time I'm through with you, you're going to be a man. So, get up now!" Jim ordered as we stopped and Jeremy got up, but he was panting.
"Jim, don't you think you're over doing it? We want training, not torture." Yumi spoke.
"Wrong again young lady. You guys are all participating in Jim's boot camp, and that means two things. You sweat, and you don't complain, unless you want ten extra push ups. From this moment on, we live and die together as a group. Got it?" Jim asked.
"Okay, okay. No need to get carried away." Odd answered.
"You got it Odd?!" Uncle Jim exclaimed.
"Sir yes sir!" We all answered.
"Okay, let's move three mile run." Jim ordered, as we all sighed and started running.
"One, two. One, two. One two, one two. One, two, one two." Jim repeated as we continued running up a hill before I looked back to see Odd and Jeremy behind us, Jim ran behind us.
"Get those soft shell knees up, come on! Hey Belpois, you couldn't even out run a one legged chicken." Jim laughed.
"Left right, left right. And left, right." Jim continued as we stopped and waiting for Jeremy and Odd to catch up.
"At this rate, we'll need at least a week to recover from Jim's camp." Aelita said as Jeremy and Odd caught up, they both held their hands on each other's shoulders.
"It's kind of useless." Aelita finished as Jeremy and Odd were panting like crazy, Jim caught up with us.
"Young lady, it's diversity that creates strength and courage. And that's the surest path to fame and glory." Jim said, as he nudged himself at his chest.
Jim started running again, as we looked at Jeremy and Odd. We soon arrived at another course. Odd jumped held onto the wood for some time, but he fell.
"Cut the clowning Della Robbia. This is not a circus." Jim told Odd.
Ulrich and Patricia started climbing high up on an old fence.
Patricia had told me they both have Vertigo… I hope they'll be alright. I thought concerned.
"Stern, Patricia don't be wimps. You've got nothing to be afraid of except a sore bottom." Jim said.
Jeremy got onto this rope obstacle, and had to hold in between another rope high up. That looks painful.
"Come on, Belpois. No use in hanging in there like a wet sock on a clothes line!" Jim exclaimed.
After that, we started crawling under barbed wire. I was ahead of Yumi, but she got caught on the wire.
"Move it, get the lead out and crawl. Faster you hear?!" Jim exclaimed.
Afterwards Jeremy, Odd, Aelita, and I were balancing ourselves on a low wooden fence while Yumi, Ulrich, Patricia, and Jim were watching us before Aelita fell over.
"Stones, I said on top of it!" Jim exclaimed
We had stopped when Jim stopped his stopwatch.
"Not bad for the first time. Right, let's take a little break here and we'll start a new work out." Jim told us as Aelita came over to us, her cheeks red and her hand on her back before we sat down, and started our break.
"So Patricia, I haven't heard from Peter for a while now. How is the custody case going?" Jim asked.
"Not so good. My parents are still at a standstill. Peter calls me with updates, but since the states are in a different time zone it's hard for us to talk together on the phone. But he did tell me to tell you he said "Hi, I hope everything is well at Kadic." Patricia answered.
"Ah, well tell him I said the same for him in the states." Jim nodded.
"Hey you know what Jim, we'd love to hear about your past life. I know you usually don't want to talk about it, but since it's between us members of the same commando group." Yumi spoke.
"Yeah, come on please Uncle Jim?" Patricia asked as Jeremy held his hand under his chin, and Jim cleared his throat.
"Oh alright. Right, well then listen up. Exceptionally for you, I'll give you a quick rundown." Jim replied when we all smiled.
"It all began when I completed my training to become a physical education instructor. I was also a licensed scuba diver." Jim started.
I tried picturing Jim under water in a scuba outfit, I tried to contain the laughter having a hard time picturing it.
"And that's why the marines recruited me for their special forces." Jim continued.
I tried imagining Jim as a special agent with the glasses, black attire, but I just couldn't. He seemed like he was more of the person who would clean up, or paint stuff.
"NASA heard of me, and since I was now a Special Forces diver they had me to test out their space suits under water." Jim continued.
I tried picturing Jim in a space suit underwater, but I couldn't. I imagined he was not using the space suit, but just swimming in a regular pool. Or cleaning it.
"So after having received a medal from the president, I was then appointed to the secret service." Jim chuckled.
"And believe me, Rosita Benet didn't just play the accordion. She was also a heck of a pilot. When I arrived in Buenos Aires, with my cameras, her biplane pulled me over." Jim continued as I heard a beeping noise coming from Jeremy's laptop.
Jeremy looked over, but Jim clicked his stop watch and the noise stopped.
"Right, break time is over now. A quick jog to shake off the rust." Jim said, as we sighed.
He started chanting, as we started walking. Jeremy stayed behind, and we had gotten further than him. We stopped when we saw a boar, we were surprised to see it. It started to snort, and looked at us.
This can't be good… I thought worried.
"W-w-what kind of beast is that?" Ulrich asked nervously.
"How about that? A wild pig." Jim answered.
"But it's huge, let's go another way." Yumi insisted as we started backing up. Jim looked at us.
"Oh relax it's nothing. I had it much worse than this when I was in Burma." Jim recounted as the wild pig charged at Jim.
Jim tried kicking it, but it passed right by him. It snorted at him, as we gasped. It charged again and Jim got out of the way. Suddenly, its eyes showed the XANA symbol.
"Did you see that?" Patricia asked.
"XANA." I replied as we started running toward Jim.
"Hey listen Jim, it's not a normal animal." Ulrich warned.
"It's not a wild boar." Aelita said.
"Right, like I said it's just an overgrown pig. That's all." Jim said as he got into a defensive position.
"Come to Jim, little piglet. Here little piggy." Jim taunted.
"No, I'm telling you Jim we'd be much better off getting out of here." Yumi insisted as Jeremy finally caught up to us before he stopped in his tracks, as the possessed wild boar started charging toward him as Jim ran to protect Jeremy, but the possessed wild boar hit Jim, throwing Jim aside.
"Uncle Jim, are you okay?" Patricia called out as she and Jeremy ran up to him.
"Jim, are you okay?" Jeremy asked as he and Patricia bent down to look at him.
"Yeah – yeah sure. How's the other guy?" Jim asked before he passed out.
Ulrich threw a rock at the possessed wild boar, which started charging at them again as the rock managed to hit the boar.
"Wow, nice shot." Odd complimented.
"Yeah Ulrich, you got a great arm." Aelita complimented.
The pig's eyes lit up with the XANA symbol, Ulrich started backing away.
"I'll create a diversion." Ulrich said.
"Good thing you've got fast legs too, go!" Yumi exclaimed as Ulrich started running. The boar snorted as it started chasing after Ulrich.
"XANA sent this thing after us, there's no time to lose. Get to the computer lab, Aelita can manage the virtualization process. Hurry up, you have to go too Patricia. He'll be fine." Jeremy reassured as Patricia nodded.
"What about you?" Aelita asked.
"I'd better stay here with Jim. And if Ulrich can't join you guys, then all five of are going to be needed on Lyoko." Jeremy answered as we started running.
"Good luck." I waved my hand as I caught up with the others.
"This way, it's a shortcut." Yumi said as we followed her.
We followed her, as we crawled under a bunch of low hanging branches as we kept crawling, but Yumi was behind.
"Come on, you can do it Yumi." Odd said.
"Yeah, I know you can." Patricia smiled.
Yumi managed to catch up to us, and we walked across a lodge. We balanced ourselves on it. We kept on running, we managed to get to the cross roads.
"Okay, we're almost there." Yumi panted before Odd stood up.
"Okay, just one last sprint. The factory's not much further." Odd started running, even though our cheeks were all red, we kept on going.
We managed to reach the factory, and made it inside the lab as Aelita sat on Jeremy's chair.
"We need to hurry, every second counts." Patricia reminded as Aelita started typing.
"I'm on it, but I'm not as fast as Jeremy." Aelita said a window and an alert popped up.
"XANA's sent William and Jade into the core chamber, along with a few monsters." Aelita informed.
"You three head to the scanners. You'll have to protect the core of Lyoko." Aelita ordered.
"What about the tower?" I asked.
"I guess Patricia and I will have to manage that alone." Aelita answered.
"No, not alone. Old reliable Ulrich is here." Ulrich said as he walked out of the elevator.
"Ulrich!" Yumi exclaimed, as she kissed him on the cheek.
"I was worried the boar got to you." Yumi sighed in relief.
"I managed to shake off the wild boar, but it went back into the forest. I'm afraid it could find Jim and Jeremy." Ulrich informed.
"We'd better not waste any time." Aelita said.
"Right." I nodded.
We went down into the scanners room, as Odd, Yumi, and I walked into the scanners. I stepped into the scanner, while Ulrich and Patricia smiled.
"Are you ready?" Aelita asked.
"Transfer: Odd, Transfer: Yumi, Transfer: Naomi. Scanner: Odd, Scanner: Yumi. Scanner Naomi. Virtualization!" Aelita exclaimed.
We were virtualized into sector five, the room started spinning.
"I've already called up your vehicles, they'll be standing by in the celestial dome. No time to lose." Aelita said.
"Got it." Yumi nodded, as the door opened up and we started running toward the corridor.
POV Patricia's
Aelita arrived as the elevator's doors opened. Ulrich ran in the scanner on the left side, Aelita ran in the middle scanner, and I ran inside the right scanner.
"Okay, I've started the delayed virtualization program." Aelita informed.
"Where's the activated tower?" Ulrich asked.
"In the forest sector." Aelita answered as her scanner closed.
Ulrich's scanner closed, and my scanner closed last. The light inside the scanner build up, as a gush of wind enveloped me and I was soon virtualized in the forest sector with Aelita and Ulrich. We landed in front of our Overbike's.
"Wow, valet parking that's classy." Ulrich joked as he hopped onto his Overbike. I boarded my Overbike, as Aelita hopped onto his.
"Go on Ulrich, rev it up." Aelita said as Ulrich revved up his Overbike. I revved up mine, as we started driving.
POV Naomi's
We boarded our vehicles, and started flying toward the dome.
"I feel a lot better on this machine, than I do on Jim's ropes." Odd said.
"That's for sure." I agreed.
POV Patricia's
Ulrich and Aelita were ahead of me, I was following behind them. Ulrich came to a hault, as I stopped driving as well.
"Well, where'd the tower go?" Ulrich asked.
"I don't get it. There must have been a calibration error. Without, Jeremy to guide us this won't be easy." Aelita replied before a Krab appeared along with a XANAfied Peter on it.
"Ulrich, watch out!" I warned.
"Fire!" XANAfied Peter exclaimed as the Krab started firing at us. We dodged the lasers as XANAfied Peter started throwing his dark fire balls at us. I managed to dodge them, and Ulrich took out his sword as he blocked the lasers with his sword.
"Sonic shield!" I exclaimed as I amplified my sonic powers, to make a force field around us, allowing the sonic vibrations to push back the dark fire balls as two more Krabs appeared, as they started firing at us before I heard XANAfied Peter vanish.
"Energy field!" Aelita shouted.
"Sonic blast!" I shouted as we threw our attacks at the Krab. Our attacks hit the Krab. We drove passed them, as they exploded. Ulrich stopped driving his Overbike, I did too.
"Well anyway, with all these troops around the tower can't be that far." Ulrich said.
"You're probably right." I agreed.
POV Naomi's
Yumi, Odd, and I were underneath the dome. We flew into it, and came to the key. We hopped off of our vehicles, and Yumi pressed the key. The key lit up, as we looked to see the stairs materialize. Odd pounced on the stairs as he jumped on it, I used my hands and created a full ice blast to fly to the top. Yumi was the last to reach the top while we could see the mantas firing at the core, and William and Jade were on top of one black manta.
"Attack!" William and Jade ordered in unison.
The two flying mantas flew down as we started running up the stairs. We kept leaping, but a manta fired at Odd as he leaped back. He jumped in the air with his paws, as the same manta fired at him again.
"Whoa. Beware of falling objects!" Odd jested.
"Now is not the time for jokes Odd." I glared at him, as I saw Jade super smoke downwards as the mantas continued firing at Odd and Yumi, and Jade appeared in front of me, I took my bo staff from my belt, and pressed the button, extending it.
"Bring it." I taunted as Jade took out her fans. I could see Yumi doing the same thing as Yumi started blocking the lasers with her fans. Jade threw her fans at me, but I managed to dodge them. I readied my hands as I used my ice magic, and threw an ice blast at her causing her to be pushed back. I used my ice flight, as I flew back to where Odd and Yumi were.
"Hey, isn't that your boyfriend up there?" Odd continued to joke.
We could see William coming down with the manta, as Jade super smoked away and vanished.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Yumi exclaimed as she threw her fans the two mantas that were attacking us. She managed to destroy one of them, as it exploded while her fans came back to her, and she caught them.
"Besides, Ulrich's my boyfriend you dope." Yumi said.
"Yeah, cut it out with the joke's Odd. Otherwise, I'll literally give you a cold shoulder." I warned.
"Okay, okay. I'll try." Odd chuckled nervously.
POV Patricia's
We were driving for quite some time, and we still couldn't find the tower.
"Still nothing." Ulrich said.
"This is ridiculous." I sighed.
"Alright, we have to go back where we started. The tower has to be there." Aelita figured.
"Makes sense." I agreed.
"Here we go." Ulrich said as we turned around.
We started driving back towards the tower, but something fired at Ulrich, as he was thrown off of his Overbike, and rolled off on the ground. Aelita tried to maintain Ulrich's Overbike but she couldn't, and was thrown off of it too. Suddenly a black fire ball was aimed at my Overbike, and I lost control and was thrown off of it, as I was rolled off the ground. The Overbikes hit a tree, as they exploded. XANAfied Peter was currently on a Krab, as another Krab surrounded Aelita and me.
"Energy field!" Aelita exclaimed, as she summoned her energy field, but she missed. I was ready to use my sonic gloves, but XANAfied Peter summoned his dark bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at me. A warning shot. We were backing up from the Krabs. I looked over to see Ulrich taking out his swords, but he was suddenly devirtualized as another Krab attacked him from behind. The Krab then approached us as Aelita and I were now back to back.
POV Naomi's
A manta continued firing at us, as Odd used his laser arrows, but he was missing. I formed ice chakrams and kept throwing them at the same manta, but missed. Yumi used her fans but missed, nearly hitting the shield.
"The first shield layer is about to give. We have to do something." Yumi stated as Odd kept firing his laser arrows at the manta, but kept missing while I tried firing my ice chakrams at the manta, but for some reason I wasn't landing a hit.
"I know, and I've got an idea." Odd said.
"What's your idea?" I asked.
"Sky diving!" Odd exclaimed as he dove down to the manta.
"Yahoo!" Odd shouted as Odd grabbed onto the manta with his claws while he managed to fly it up toward William, and the other manta.
"Attack!" William ordered as he pointed his sword at Odd before the manta started flying towards Odd, and the manta that Odd was on, was starting to dematerialize.
"Go get him guys." Odd taunted as the two mantas fired at the manta Odd was flying on. Odd managed to dodge the lasers, as he jumped off just in time when the manta he was on, exploded.
"Yeah!" Odd exclaimed as he leaped onto the stairs.
We followed Odd, as we were behind him. We continued to leap up on the stairs, Odd almost got hit as his focus was on us. But he jumped in the air and landed on a stair nearby.
"Shield!" Odd exclaimed as he summoned his purple shield.
The laser impact was enough as Odd flew back and was devirtualized. Yumi threw her fans upwards as it made a hit on the manta. I readied my hands for an ice blast and released onto the manta William was on it. The ice blast froze the manta, as Yumi's other fan hit it, smashing the frozen manta. William jumped off in time, as Yumi caught her fans.
"Nice work." Yumi complimented.
"Thanks you too." I smiled.
William landed more than a few feet away from us. He started walking towards us as Yumi readied her fans, and I readied my Bo staff.
POV Patricia's
Aelita summoned her energy field as I summoned my sonic blast. We threw them at the Krabs, but the Krabs dodged them. The third Krab that appeared fired at us.
"Energy field!" Aelita exclaimed as she distracted the Krab.
I ran under the Krab, and used my sonic gloves as I readied my arrow.
"Sonic arrow!" I exclaimed as I used a sonic boom along with my arrow. The arrow ripped through the Krab, and it exploded. We kept running away from the second Krab. XANAfied Peter was behind the second Krab, as he kept following us.
"Aelita, Patricia. How are you doing?" Ulrich asked.
"Ulrich, tell me where the tower is. Hurry." Aelita replied.
"You should be next to it, according to this." Ulrich informed.
"That doesn't make any sense, we can't see it." I said.
"How come we can't see it Ulrich?" Aelita asked as we kept running as the Krab fired at us as we were thrown off the ground.
"Energy field!" Aelita shouted as she shot her energy field at the Krab as it dodged it, leaving the energy field to hit the tower, revealing that it was invisible.
"No!" XANAfied Peter exclaimed in frustration as he used his super smoke and vanished, leaving the other Krab by itself.
"Got it!" Aelita exclaimed.
"XANA's pulled this one on us before, we should have realized it." I said.
POV Naomi's
William swung his sword at us as we jumped in the air and it got stuck in the stairs. We landed on his sword as Yumi readied to kick him.
"Huh?" William asked as Yumi kicked him, pushing him back.
William lifted his hand as his sword started to glow yellow. He took it out of the step, and we touched the ground. Yumi threw her fans at William, and I threw my ice chakrams. He managed to destroy the ice chakrams, and reflect the fans back to Yumi, using his sword.
"Those were some fines shots, but it's all over for you two." William said as he started running towards us.
Yumi threw her fan as she slid across the floor, I readied my ice blast as I followed her. William jumped over the fan as she kicked William into the air. I released my ice blast on him, freezing him in midair. Yumi's fan made impact, and William broke into pieces. He reformed but vanished orange and black smoke.
"Next time William, make sure you can back your words up." I said as Yumi and I high fived.
"We make quiet a team." Yumi complimented.
"Yes we do." I agreed.
POV Patricia's
Aelita summoned her energy field, and I readied my sonic blast. We threw our attacks at the two remaining Krabs. They were on the verge of exploding, and we ran inside the tower just before they did. The first platform lit up before Aelita and I flew up to the second platform. Aelita did a back flip and I remained in my vertical position. We stepped onto the second platform, and it lit up the moment we stepped onto it. Two panels appeared, we placed our hands on our respective panels.
Aelita
Code
Lyoko
Patricia
Code
Carter
"Tower deactivated." Aelita announced as the files flew downward.
The next day
POV Patricia's
We were over by the benches, and watched Uncle Jim, with a cane, walking. He smiled and lifted the cane as he walked towards us.
"Hey, you didn't do a Return to the Past. You sure Jim has forgotten everything?" Yumi asked while Jeremy laid against the wall, with his arms crossed.
"Just the opposite, he remembers everything and that's the best insurance there is. To him our wild boar was a crazy and dangerous animal, but a completely normal one." Jeremy explained while we all laughed as we Jeremy's explanation made sense.
"Why hello there Jim. We're glad to see you back on two feet again." Aelita smiled as Uncle Jim lifted his cane.
"More like three, huh? But it's not too serious, just a bad sprain and a nasty bruise. I'll be as good as new in two week's time." Uncle Jim reassured.
"Well I'm glad you'll be alright Uncle Jim." I smiled.
"Me too Patricia." Uncle Jim agreed.
"For us it's really a shame. Just one day of boot camp, for two weeks of recovery." Yumi said.
"Oh don't worry, that one day was very enlightening for me. You may not have been up to the commando level, but you showed great spirits. You really did. As soon as I am back in shape, I'll organize lots of other training sessions and I hope to see you all there." Uncle Jim lifted his cane, then put it back on the ground.
"Um…" Aelita trailed off.
"Not me, I'm booked through the end year. I've got um… sleep session." Odd said as he raised his hand
"Honestly Jim, it's too much of a… Naomi?" Yumi asked Naomi.
"It's how do I put it… Ulrich?" Naomi asked.
"Horror." Ulrich answered in a low voice, but then corrected himself. "Too much of an honor."
"I'll be there." Jeremy said as we were all confused by his statement as he had his hands on his hip.
"I owe you one Jim." Jeremy smiled.
"Excellent Belpois. I knew I could count on you kid. Oh and Patricia, would you let Peter know I'll be better? I don't want him to worry." Uncle Jim said.
"Of course, I'll tell him." I nodded.
Uncle Jim smiled and waved at Jeremy, as he walked away.
"You must be dreaming. I'll be there? Wow, you could have come up with a better answer than that. No for instance, or never or nien or niet." Odd said.
"You must really like Jim's torture." Ulrich commented while for some reason, Jeremy seemed proud and continued to smile.
And done! I hope everyone liked this chapter! More to come! Don't forget to review!
