Chapter 10: XANA's back? (part 1)

The next morning Odd walked up to the door off the cafeteria. As he was opening the door Steph walked up to him and said, "Morning."

Odd looked over and said, "Good Morning." And opened the door for her. The two walked in together. William looked over as soon as they came in, he already thought the Steph may like Odd more then she liked him, seeing them come in together made him think this even more. They seem to get along really well.

The worries went away a little when she came over and sat next to him. William thought, reassuring himself a little more, "Why am I surprised she sat next to me? See invited me to her room last." As he was thinking this he looked back to Steph, she noticed he was looking at her, so she gave him a little smile.

When Odd sat down he was happy to see there was a seat next to Miya. He told her good morning as he sat down. Quietly she responded, "Good Morning." She didn't even look at when. "Miya, is there something up?" Miya looked over to him, she was surprised that he noticed that she wanted to tell him something. "Umm... Not really, I just wanted to say umm... Sorry about last night."

Odd was a little confused, "What for?"

"Steph said you came to see me," Miya was a little worried that Steph was wrong about why Odd had came, "maybe she was wrong ..."

Odd cut her off, "I did come to see you last night." He noticed she blushed a little when he told her, causing a little red to come to his face. "But it's nothing that you need to apologize for."

"Oh, ok. It was too bad I missed you." Miya blush got brighter when she said it. Odd smiled when she said this, "Yeah it was, next time I'll call first."

"Ok, sounds good."

Odd was about to say something else, but then Jeremy's laptop started to beep. Jeremy opened his laptop then, he and Aelita look at the screen. A worried looks comes to both of there faces. Jeremy looked at the group, he wanted to say what was going on but he couldn't because of Miya and Steph where there. "Aelita and I have something to do." Then they both got up and ran out.

Steph was the first one to say something, "What are they up to?"

They Ulrich, Odd and William knew that they it must have had something to do with Lyoko but they couldn't tell the new girls that. Luckily Odd thought of something, "I'm sure they just need there 'alone' time." Ulrich and William nodded in agreement. William also added in, "That must be it." Steph was able to tell that they was something was up, but she wasn't sure what.

It was quite for the rest of the breakfast. Steph was trying to figure out what securit the others were keeping from her. Miya was just naturally quite. Odd, Ulrich and William were thinking about why Jeremy and Aelita left. They got part of an answer from a text from Aelita, 'They're is something up with the tower on the other supercomputer. Well let you know if we need your help'.

They hoped that it wasn't to big of a deal, but at the end of the breakfast they found out it was a big deal. They got another text, 'SOS. Get to the factory'.

Knowing this might happen, they stayed behind Steph and Miya as they left, giving them the opertunity get away without the two girls noticing. On the way to the factory Odd was a little worried, but not about what was going on with Lyoko, "What are we going to tell Miya and Steph about why we weren't in class."

"We'll figure out something, we always do." Ulrich said.

Odd was thought about this and responded, "But I don't want to lie to her...them." William agreed with what Odd said. Ulrich was a little confused why they were both so worried about lying to the others. After thinking about it more, he relised how much he hated to lie to Yumi. So he said "If we need to, I think we can just do a return to the past."

William and Odd still didn't like that, it was still kind of a lie. But they both thought that it would be better then straight up lying to Miya and Steph.

They boys got to the factory shortly after Yumi arrived from her house. "So whats going on?" Ulrich asked.

"It seems that tower we found on the other supercomputer has been activated. So we sent a krab over to see it." Jeremy explained. Then Aelita countied by pointing at the computer screen and saying, "and look at what we found." They group looked over to see that there was a huge group of monsters on the other virtual world.

"I think that we should try to deactivate the tower." said Jeremy. The rest looked around at each then Yumi asked what they were all thinking, "How are we going to fight all of these monsters."

"We thought about that, I created as many of our own monsters as I could to help you. And now head to the scanner room."

After they gang were virtualized on Lyoko they saw Jeremy's monsters. There were 5 Krabs, 2 Swarms of Hornets with 5 Hornets in each, and 3 Blocks. Then Ulrich said, "I don't think that these will be enough to win against all of the other monsters."

Jeremy apologized, "I'm sorry guy's. This is all I can make guys." Odd said, "No worries Jeremy, that will just leave us more take out."

The tunnel opened in the digital sea and the gang and the monster jumped in.

Back at Kadic Steph and Miya where sitting in class, but with out there regular friends. Steph looked over to Miya, "I wonder why there so late to class?" Miya just surged, not knowing the answer.

At the end of first period, the rest of the gang hadn't shown up. "I wonder where they are." Miya said. "I think I might know, I thought I saw Jeremy and Aelita go into a tunnel in the forrest near the school once, want to go check it out." Steph answered.

Miya thought about it for a second, "I don't think that we should skip class."

"Oh come on. Everyone else did, don't want to go look for Odd?" Miya blushed when Steph said this. "That's a yes." Steph said, then she garbed her friends arm and ran outside.

They got to the place Steph had seen Jeremy and Aelita. "This isn't a tunnel, it's a sewer."

"I don't think we should go down there, it's probably dangerous." Miya said.

Steph was getting excited, "We've come this far, let's keep going." Miya still didn't want to go. "Miya, I'm sure I saw Jeremy and Aelita go down here, they wouldn't go if it were dangerous." Miya nodded, and Steph opened up the manhole.

They both climbed down and began walking. Miya stayed close to her friend, still afraid. After a few minutes they came to the lader and climbed up to the top. When they got out they saw the factory and started going toward the door. As they got close they heard a huge crash. "What was that?"

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Just moved to school and hadn't had internet in the new apartment. I am also starting classes soon, which normally means few to no updates, so the next chapter will be the last for this story. I hope to do a squeal soon, but it probably will be a while.
