Chapter 13: Plagued
Hey everyone! I'm back with a new chapter, and this is going to be an epic chapter! Why? Because… on second thought, I won't spoil it. Disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko, period
Enjoy!
Dear Diary,
I'm definitely glad that I got a new diary after the samurai attack, but ever since the attack, I placed a good luck charm on the back of the door for our dorm. Anyway, things have gotten weird for me again. I really hope McKenna's not reading any of my diary entries when I'm not around, but my dreams are back. I'm clairvoyant in my dreams, and sometimes, I can see the future, and well, I saw a gigantic rat infestation across the school. But, who isn't scared of rats? I like guinea pigs, but rats are scary as is! Oh crap, I only have five minutes until class.
Write more soon!
-Naomi
I got to class in time, thank god. But we were working the library today, and Jeremy was talking to Aelita as usual.
"But I can't speak any louder, I'm in a library now." said Jeremy
"What's a library Jeremy?" asked Aelita
"A databank where everything's printed on paper and where you can't make any noise." Said Jeremy
"Oh, I guess because you need silence to concentrate on what you're studying." Said Aelita
"Yes, and so is not to miss the match point." Said Jeremy
Ulrich and Odd were playing one of their never-ending games, but it was fun to watch.
"Game set, and match." Said Yumi with Odd being the loser
"Yes!" exclaimed Ulrich
*CRASH!*
"You okay?" I asked
"Ulrich! Is that what you call studying? In case no one told you THIS is not the school yard. You are here to work, okay? And work means silence! And no more games from now on. Ah, okay, well if that's the way you wanna play I can play just as hard as you can my little friends! Two hours detention, I'm…oh, sorry about that sir." said Jim
"I do not know where that genetic came from in the gene pool." I said trying to suppress my laughter
"Hello there Jeremy, would you come to my office now, I want to talk to you, it's very important." Said Mr. Delmas
Later…
"Jeremy?" asked Odd
He just walked away from us, so we all decided to confront him.
"What's going on?" asked Yumi
"You know the Principal, he went on and on. He says the school psychologist has been observing me for a long time and he thinks that I'm an overly gifted student." Said Jeremy
"Is that all? But that's nothing. We were scared that the Principal had found out about the lab. Big deal." Said Odd
"It's worse than you think Odd, the shrink's decided that I have to take all kinds of tests tonight to determine what my IQ is." Said Jeremy
"Yeah, so?" asked Ulrich
"If the tests show that I have a really high IQ, the guy is gonna see to it that I get sent to another school." Said Jeremy
"What?" Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Matt, McKenna, and I exclaimed in unison
"Oh no! Are you saying that he's gonna send you to a school for like future Einstein's?" asked Odd
"Yeah." Said Jeremy
"That is serious, if you're not here we can never go to Lyoko again, and XANA will be able to do whatever he wants." Said Yumi
"It's not just that guys, I don't wanna leave here because of you all, you're my friends." Said Jeremy
"Hold on, cool it! Don't panic, okay? I mean, they can't force you to change schools." Said Odd
"It's not all that easy, the psychologist croup couldn't wait to talk to my parents. He told them that at that kind of school I'd be entitled to a big scholarship. My folks aren't gonna pass up a great chance like that." Said Jeremy
After classes…
"What's the big problem? You mess up on the test, and they'll think you're a total moron. No one will ever know and you're home free." Said Odd
"Yeah, just talk to Naomi, she's our 'bomb the test on purpose' expert." Said McKenna
"And I just forgot about failing the TJ test on purpose, thanks McKenna." I said
"Sure I thought of that, but there's a problem because tests like that are full of all kinds of trick questions. And if you really wanna mess up and make mistakes, you've gotta be very clever." Said Jeremy
"But that's great since you're the cleverest kid around." Said Yumi
"Well okay, I'll do my best to flunk. But I can't promise anything." Said Jeremy
"Uh, I'll see you guys later. Keep me posted okay?" asked Yumi
"Okay." Said McKenna
"See you later." Said Matt
Six o' clock…
"Any idea on what's for dinner?" I asked
"Beats me." Said McKenna
"Guess we'll find out soon enough." Said Matt
"Yeah." I said
Half-way through dinner, the lights went out, and I was thinking XANA.
"That's enough! Get back to your seats right now and quiet down! Go on now, lights will come on again soon, stop all your clowning around, understand?" exclaimed Jim
"This is not the time to go G. I. Jim." I said
"Huh, did you hear that?" asked Matt
"This might help. *WHISTLES LOUDLY* (A/N: At my school, I'm famous for this)Quiet down! Listen! I need absolute silence!" I exclaimed
I heard the sound of squeaking mice, or rats. Jim went to investigate, and he was shocked, he actually fell to the floor. Soon rats began falling from the ceiling, and we ran for it, pronto when I remembered my dream.
"Matt, McKenna, listen, remember what I told you about my clairvoyant dreams?" I asked
"Yeah." Matt and McKenna said in unison
"They're back and XANA's behind the rat infestation." I said
"We're trapped!" exclaimed Ulrich
"Nice going XANA, the rats all waited for nighttime, and they only attacked as soon as we were all in the cafeteria." Said Odd
"Got an idea?" asked McKenna
"I wish. It's not like I…oh! Wait, McKenna, how do stop rats?" I asked
"A camera?" asked McKenna
"Doesn't your cell phone camera have a flash function you can turn on and off?" I asked
"It does, wait, are we going to use my cell phone as a weapon against the rats?" asked McKenna
"Unless you have rat repellent or rat traps." said Matt
"Well, they have an idea, let's hurry outside." Said McKenna
"Good plan and we can still use your cell phone." I said
"Alright." Said McKenna
"They're too many of them, we can't hold them all off." Said Odd
"If only at least one of us could get to the factory. I know the virtualization code, and we'll somebody to come with me." I said
*Ring-ring*
"Or not." I said watching Yumi come to our rescue
"She's going to save Sissy, at least we can not worry about her being eaten alive." Said Odd
"Ha-ha, very funny." I said
"Welcome to the Rat Pack." Said Odd after Yumi saved Sissy
*BBRRIINNGG*
"Hello Jeremy. Yes, the rats have attacked. Okay, right, we'll meet at the lab." Said Yumi
"Got any ideas on how to get out of here?" I asked
"We have to find a safe place first." Said Yumi
"Where? The rats are all over." Said Ulrich
"I know one. The only place with no access to the sewers is the science building. Let's go!" exclaimed Jim
"Better hurry." Said Yumi
"How's that camera going?" I asked
"Not good, I can't switch the flash on." Said McKenna
"Hey, get a move on, the extinguishers are nearly empty." Said Odd
"Uncle! Hurry up!" I exclaimed
"They're in!" exclaimed Matt
"Okay, let's go up to the roof. If the rats get in, we'll be safe up there." Said Yumi
"Let's have a bird's eye view on what's going on." I said
We looked down and saw the rats break the door down with a tree, talk about smart.
"We need to get to the factory, Jeremy'll meet us there, as soon as he can that is." Said Yumi
"Sounds great, but how do we get there?" asked Ulrich
"McKenna! Remember the zip line at the 4-H park?" I asked
"Oh yeah!" exclaimed McKenna
"Or try the emergency hose line." Said Matt
"Going down!" I exclaimed
"Let's go!" exclaimed McKenna
We got to the sewer hatch in the park, but it was rat clogged.
"We have no choice, we have to go over the wall." Said Yumi
We got to the factory, but the rats were blocking the entrance.
"XANA's thought of everything." Said Ulrich
"Come on! Care for a little cruise?" asked Odd
"*Sigh* All aboard the anti-XANA express!" I exclaimed
"Faster!" exclaimed Yumi
"Oh no! Here come the mutant rats!" exclaimed Matt
"How good are you guys at the 100-yard dash?" I exclaimed running at top speed
"Hurry up, faster, hurry!" exclaimed Yumi
"Don't have to tell us twice!" I exclaimed
"What'd we do now?" asked McKenna
"McKenna, Yumi, Matt, Ulrich, and Odd, head to the scanner, and I'll man the supercomputer. Go!" I exclaimed
"Right!" everyone exclaimed in unison
"Alright, I've found Aelita, and she's being attacked by two Krabs, I'm probably going to have to set you guys off course a bit, actually a lot in order to meet up with her. Transfer Ulrich, transfer Odd, transfer Matt. Scanner Ulrich, scanner Odd, scanner Matt. Virtualization. Now it's your turn girls, transfer McKenna, transfer Yumi. Scanner McKenna, scanner Yumi. Virtualization." I said
"You were right when you said that you would send us off course." Said Matt
"You should be able to see Aelita now." I said
"Well, you sent us a little too far." Said Odd
"Oh no, note to self, do a rough estimate, not a wild guess." I said
"It's okay, we could use the exercise." Said Odd
"Okay, you guys should be near her, and it's not hard to miss the Krabs." I said
"Thanks, we've noticed." Said Matt
"Watch out, the Krabs are trying to change the environment somehow." I said
"Yeah, and we're hanging on, except for me, I'm flying." Said McKenna
"Great, you're the only who can take down the Krabs for the time being. And Aelita, no offence, but please be more careful." I said
"I'll try next time." Said Aelita
"Ulrich! Great, those Krabs have a battery of lasers, and 10 life points lost on impact." I said
"Well? How do we beat these guys?" asked Matt
"The eye of XANA on their backs, you need to aim there." I said
"Well, considering that Odd's been devirtualized, we need all the help we can get. You need to get you and that Keyblade of yours down here!" exclaimed Matt
"I can't virtualize myself! The code hasn't been created, but I'll ask Jeremy to make the code, does that make you happy?" I asked annoyed
"Need any help?" asked Jeremy
"Jeremy! You mean do they need help? Which they do." I said
"Ready?" asked Jeremy after I entered the scanner room
"Ready!" I exclaimed
"Transfer Naomi, scanner Naomi. VIRTUALIZATION!" exclaimed Jeremy
"Time to go Kingdom Hearts." I said as I slid the aquamarine into the gem slot on my necklace
"Help!" exclaimed Aelita
"Thunder!" I exclaimed raising my hand into the air
"Naomi! Thanks a million!" exclaimed Matt
"No problem, give me a minute to get down there." I said
"Naomi, there's a Krab behind you!" exclaimed Jeremy
I summoned my Keyblade, and I was surprised at the design. The keyblade reminded me of the keyblade Destiny's Embrace that Kairi uses, but it was different because the keyblade didn't have as many flowers, the only flower on the blade was a rose on the key part with a heart protecting the rose, and it was mostly heart designs on the blade of the keyblade. As I struck the Krab, I named the keyblade Heart-Rose Dimension.
"Cool keyblade, but it reminds me of that keyblade, oh, I can't remember the name." said Matt
"You can look it up later. We have a tower to deactivate." I said
Aelita deactivated the tower, and this time, I finally noticed the bracelet on my right wrist. There were eight slots. One of the slots was already filled with a gem, a diamond. A new gem appeared in the second slot, a ruby, and I got Sora's Valor Form and I couldn't wait to use it.
"Return to the Past, now." said Jeremy
We returned to this morning at the library.
"Jeremy, hey did you figure out a way to flunk the test?" asked Yumi
"Well now that I know all the questions, I shouldn't have any trouble giving all the wrong answers." Said Jeremy
"Are you sure it's gonna work?" asked Ulrich
"Anyway, I've got a foolproof way of flunking, I'm gonna get all of my answers from Odd." Said Jeremy
We all snickered at that one. Even I couldn't resist cracking up.
"Yeah, yeah, go on and laugh your heads up, but who knows, you might be in for a big surprise." Said Odd
"Quiet!" exclaimed Jim
I knew that I now had Sora's drive forms in my Keyblade Heroine transformation, but I couldn't help but wonder why there were eight slots. I knew that there were six drive forms, including anti-form and limit form, but was there an eighth form, or was the final gem going to be something different?
Done! Wow, two updates in one day, not for this story of course. Please review and Merry Christmas! I'm sakuraphoenix, signing off. See you soon!
