Holiday In The Fog (Remade) pt.2
Sissi
woke up with a start, her eyes tearing fiercely, her chest burning as
she coughed hard. She blinked the tears away to find her whole room
full of purple smoke.
Coughing,
she got up, feeling dizzier and dizzier by the minute.
She
grabbed the door handle and pulled. For a moment it seemed like the
smoke tried to push, to keep the door in, before it flew open,
spilling her into the hall and fresh air.
Gasping
she stood up, only see the smoke flying out of the room and rush
towards her.
"EEEK!"
she screamed, taking off, running as fast as her legs could go.
"Somebody help me!" she shrieked, running around a corner
and slamming into Jim.
"What's
all the noise about? What are you screaming about?" he asked,
helping her up. "Jim! Oh, thank goodness" she sobbed.
"In
my room! Smoke, trying to kill me!"
"First
Jeremie, now you. Where is this smoke you keep talking about?"
At
that moment the smoke floated in, spiralling down to enveloped them.
Jim
grabbed Sissi and ran down the stairs.
"Ok,
now I believe you" he said as he headed for the exit.
Only
to find it covered by a thick cloud of smog.
"Well,
this isn't good" he said. Turning around he rushed to a door at
the end of the hall, clouds of toxic gas chasing him and Sissi.
Rushing
into the small room Jim slammed the door close and quickly pulled of
his jacket, stuffing it into the small opening under the door.
"Now
what do we do?" Sissi sniffed.
"Oh
great" Jeremie muttered, staring out at the smog covered school.
Readying
himself, he took a deep breath and ran inside.
As
quickly as he could he ran up to the dorm level, shirt up over his
nose.
"Sissi!
Sissi, are you up here!" he shouted, running up to her room to
find her door wide open.
"Sissi!
Were are you!"
"What
do we do now?" Sissi asked, sitting in the corner, crying
softly.
"We've
got to get out of here somehow..." Jim muttered, thinking out
loud. "Hey, I know. Your cellphone. We can use it to call the
police!"
"Oh
yes!" Sissi said, hope in her eyes. Hope that faded away when
she found out her pockets were empty. "It must be in my room"
"In
that case, we're stuck here" Jim said.
"I
wish I hadn't tricked my dad into leaving me here" Sissi
sniffled.
"So,
why did you?"
"I
was trying to find out what Jeremie and his friends were up to.
I've
always wanted to be apart of their group, but I whenever I'm near
them I get nervous, and then I get nasty to hide the fear"
Sissi
dropped her head to her chest. "I geuss I'm not a very nice
person, huh?"
"Sorry,
what did you say?"
"Nothing"
"Yeah,
well, in any case, we'd better not talk too much. This room doesn't
have a lot of air in it"
"Great,
just great"
Jeremie
stumbled out of the doors, smog circling and swirling around him,
cutting off his air supply. With a gasp he collapsed just as Yumi,
Aelita and Odd came running in through the gates.
"Jeremie!"
Aelita cried out, running to his side.
"Sissi,
and Jim. Trapped inside..." he gasped as Odd and Aelita pulled
him away from the deadly vapors.
"Don't
worry, I'll find them" Odd said, "You guys go and help
Ulrich in Lyoko. And hurry!" he shouted, running into the school
building.
Yumi
and Aelita helped Jeremie up to his feet and help him to the grate in
the park.
As
fast as they could they rushed to the factory, Jeremie coughing all
the way.
"Are
you sure you're going to be ok?" Aelita asked as he stumbled to
the computer. "I'll cough! be fine Aelita" He said,
starting up the virtualisation program. "Now get down to the
scanners. Ulrich cough! needs your help more then me"
As
soon as Yumi and Aelita climbed into the scanners Jeremie booted up
the program. "Transfer Yumi, transfer Aelita. Scanner Yumi,
scanner Aelita. Virtualisation!" he said, pressing enter.
Whoosh!
With
a grunt they landed on the hard soil of the Forest Region, the tall
trees towering over them. "Hi guys, glad you could make it"
"Hey
Ulrich" Yumi said, "What's the situation?"
"That"
he said, pointing at the swarm of kankrelats standing in their way of
the red glowing tower.
"That's
quite a bit of problem" Yumi said. Unfurling a fan she smiled,
"Ready to kick some butt?"
"Ready
when you are" Ulrich smiled back, pulling out his sword.
"Yaah!"
they roared, rushing the roaches. As one the bugs turned and fired a
withering volley of lasers at them. "Triplicate!" Ulrich
shouted, splitting into three while Yumi jumped behind a rock.
One
of his clones took the brunt of the attack, leaving Ulrich and his
double free to hack their way through the enemy.
Blocking
and deflecting lasers, Ulrich didn't see some of them sneak up from
behind until his double got blown to bits.
He
turned to see the three roaches powering up just to explode as Yumi's
fan flew down and sliced through them.
"Need
some help?" she said, blocking a few laser shots before throwing
a kankrelat off the edge with her telekinesis.
"I
think we both do" he said as a fresh wave of roaches came
crawling in.
Suddenly
a soft voice started singing behind them, and then a massive boulder
materialised in the air above the bugs.
Wham!
the boulder thudded down, crushing almost all the bugs to bits.
"Thanks
Aelita!" Yumi waved back at her sister. "Now let's go shut
down the tower!"
"Sissi!
Jim! Where are you guys?" Odd shouted, coughing as he tried to
navigate his way through the thick deadly smog.
"We're
here! Over here!"
"Jim,
is that you?" Odd asked, knocking on a door.
"Odd?"
"Jim,
open the cough cough door..."
Odd
suddenly sank to his knees, his head spinning.
"Jim..."
he gasped, his world going dark.
Suddenly
the door flung open, and then two strong pairs of hands grabbed and
dragged him inside to fresh air.
"See
Sissi, I told you someone would come"
"Well,
he's not exactly what I'd call a hero"
"But
he's got this!" Jim said, smiling, picking up Odd's cellphone.
"Jim!"
Sissi screamed, pointing at the door, where the poisonous gas was
busy seeping in.
"Come
on, they're getting closer!" Yumi shouted as they ran for the
tower, the kankrelats slowly but surely getting closer.
"Oh
no!" Aelita gasped, coming to a stop. In front of them, ringing
the tower was a large moat; deep and too wide too jump.
"Aelita!"
Ulrich called. "Make a bridge to get over. Yumi and I'll take
care of the bugs"
Aelita
kneeled down on her knees and concentrated before taking a deep
breath and singing. The kankrelats arrived just in time to see a
series of tree stumps rising out of the water, creating a chain that
led to the tower.
"Hello!"
a voice called behind them. Turning the bugs got sliced and squashed
by Yumi and Ulrich's double attacks.
"And
Good Bye" Yumi said, running with Ulrich towards the newly made
bridge.
In
the school Sissi, Jim and Odd were coughing, hacking, choking as the
gas cloud swirled like vortex around them, filling their lungs,
squeezing the last bit of air out of them.
Just
as they all sank to the ground a bright wall of light swept through
the walls and swept them away.
"Man,
that was close!" Odd said as he and Jeremie spray painted the
wall.
"Now
you know what I've got to put up with" Jeremie said
"Meaning?"
Odd asked, glaring at Jeremie
"Two
words: your socks"
"Ha
ha ha. Well, it's finished. Again" Odd said as he and Jeremie
stared at their work. "Yep, and this time I don't think Jim's
going to mind too much" Jeremie said, looking at the picture of
Jim they had done, dressed like a king with an all knowing look on
his face.
"Ok,
I'll get Kiwi to get Jim to wake Jim, and then I'll stick around"
"But
you'll get caught too!"
"Yeah,
but I'd like to see how things turn out"
End.
