Chapter 26

Bad Connection

Jeremy, Yumi, Aelita, Lilia and I were walking towards Odd's and Ulrich's door and Jeremy disguised his voice and said "Stern what do you think you're doing walking around half naked."

Then Ulrich then replied "ha-ha very funny. It's a pretty awful imitation of Delmas."

Jeremy responded "It wasn't Delmas, It was Jim." Yumi, Aelita, Lilia, and I laughed. Jeremy then asked "but what are you dressed like that for."

Then Ulrich responded "I've been stuck out here for fifteen minutes Odd refuses to open up."

Then Aelita asked "How come."

Then Ulrich replied "Who knows he won't ever answer me."

Then Jeremy said "let me handled it." Then he knocked on the door and said "Odd if you don't open this door right now you can forget about my portion of meatballs."

Then Ulrich said "nice try but it's not going to work."

Then there was a click and Jeremy said "never fails" and opened the door and said "after you sir." Ulrich went in first then we followed. Odd is on his bed and Odd seemed upset. Then Jeremy said "what's wrong with you Odd is it because of the film."

Then Odd said "yes, I mean no. It's not the first time for one of my films would be screened for an audience of ignoramuses."

Then Aelita asked "well then what's wrong."

Then Odd replied "My parents are in town and their coming to see my film."

Then Yumi responded "that's very nice of them."

Then Odd said "no it stinks."

Then Ulrich said "you didn't have a fight with them."

Then Odd said "no just the opposite."

Then Ulrich asked "what is it then."

Then Odd replied "A weird relationship problem. Teenagers are halving lots of conflicts with their parents a generation gap except for one me. My mother and father our always cool supportive and understanding. In fact they're just perfect."

Then Ulrich said "Bummer. I'd trade yours for mine any time."

Then Odd said "If there was something we could fight over so I could finally be a normal adolescent."

Then Jeremy said sarcastically "what a major drag. I really feel sorry for you Odd."

Then Yumi also said sarcastically "we can all feel your pain."

Then Aelita said in the same tone "Right, I wouldn't want be in your shoes."

Then I tried my best to sound sarcastic and said "me neither."

Then Lilia said "me three."

Then Odd responded "I knew I couldn't expect you to understand."

We're leaving the dorms and Ulrich said "cheer up with any luck they may hate your film."

Then Odd said "Yeah that would be too good to be true." As he was saying this a car pulled up. Out of the car stepped out a man with the hair color darker then blond but lighter then brown and had tattoos all over his arms, and a Woman with hair a dark shade of purple Mr. and Mrs. Dellarobia.

Mr. Dellarobia said "how's it going kid."

Then Odd responded "It couldn't be better."

Mr. Dellarobia then said "Odd it's really so good to see you."

Then Mrs. Dellarobia said "You look wonderful, you still have that great appetite don't you."

Then Mr. Dellarobia turned to us and said "and so these must be your friends, Odd talks a lot about you."

Then Aelita said "How do you do."

Jeremy was next with "Hello sir."

Then he was followed up by Yumi who said "Hello."

Then Ulrich responded "Hello."

Then I replied "Hi."

Then Lilia responded with "Hi."

Then Mrs. Dellarobia said "we're really delighted to meet you all at last. Here a present for you can wear it to the screening son. Why don't you try it on?"

Then Odd replied "okay but later, I'm must to busy right now" and he walked into the dorm building.

Then Mr. Dellarobia said "I guess he's a little uptight because of the screening."

Then Mrs. Dellarobia replied "that's understandable after all it is a primer."

CLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCL

The six of us are sitting in the first row of seats and Jeremy said "I'm putting it to sleep Odd would kill me if it went off middle of his film."

Then Aelita said "in any rate there's not much chance then Xana can attack during the three minutes the film lasts. Then Mrs. Dellarobia asked "but where is Odd?"

Then Mr. Dellarobia said "I have no idea."

Then Ulrich responded "I'm going to go see if I can find him." Then Ulrich left to look for Odd.

Then Mr. Shardaz then said "Very well now we can begin, Welcome cinema lovers to the special screening of Manibuls and purple moles the latest creation by our own Odd Dellarobia. Please do forgive me for not have seen his work yet. I understand however the film combines fiction with documentary, truth but what in the end what is truth? Why don't we listen to the film maker himself of his latest work Odd you have the floor." Mr. and Mrs. Dellarobia, Jeremy, Aelita, Yumi, Lilia, and I were standing facing Odd.

CLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCL

Odd started speaking "First of all, I would like to… " he stopped as a phone rang. Mr. Dellarobia left to answer his phone.

Mr. Delmas said "We will start the screening as soon as the director's father returns."

Mrs. Dellarobia then asked "who was it darling?."

Mr. Dellarobia responded "why don't you keep quiet and stop batting your eyes at that old goat."

Mr. Delmas responded "What, let's not fly off the handle here."

Mr. Dellarobia replied "you're the fly that needs handling. I'm onto your game."

Mrs. Dellarobia replied "but, have you lost your mind darling?"

Mr. Dellarobia responded "I prefer losing my mind than having yours. Here it's for you." Then all the phones went off."

Odd then said "If it's okay with everyone we can begin."

Mrs. Dellarobia then said "what is that little brat want."

Mr. Dellarobia responded "Maybe he wants us to shut his trap for him."

Mrs. Dellarobia responded "It won't do him any harm."

Jeremy then said "something's going on and I don't like the looks of it." He then ran a scan on his computer and said "Just what I was afraid of an activated tower. It looks like Xana's using cellphones if you get a call don't answer it." Yumi, Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, Lilia and I headed to the factory.

CLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCL

When we got to the factor I said "Lilia stay here with Jeremy."

Lilia then said "okay".

Jeremy then asked "what is he doing where is he."

Ulrich responded "I thought he was behind us, he must have gotten held up by his fan club."

Then Jeremy responded I will see "what's happening by scanning the location of their cellphones. Okay I found him."

Yumi then asked "where is he."

Jeremy responded "take a guess. Looks pretty bad for him he's totally surrounded."

Ulrich responded "we have to rescue him."

Then Aelita asked "but how the whole school's out to get him."

Yumi then responded "It would be faster if we deactivated the tower."

Then Jeremy replied "Then that's what we have to do go on. You're going in right now. Let's hope Odd can play for time."

Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and I headed down to the scanners and Jeremy virtualized us onto the mountain sector. Jeremy then said "tower in front of you at the end of the path."

Then we started running we got to the end of the path and Ulrich said "any suggestions Einstein like a ladder maybe without vehicles forget about it you could have virtualized us at the summit."

Jeremy said "sorry there's a bug I couldn't do any better and now I can't bring up your vehicles. Xana threw a virus into the program all I could get you is the Overwing." Ulrich then said "send it anyway it's going to have to do." Then I said "what am I going to do Ulrich and Yumi are on the Overwing and Aelita has wings."

Suddenly I was floating and I saw out of the corner of my eye yellow wings designed similar to MetalGreymon's but bigger. Then I said "never mind." Then I flew off after them. For Manta's are shooting at us and they shoot the Overwing after they cause Ulrich to fall then Yumi without the Overwing to fall and we headed over to where Ulrich and Yumi were hanging on for their lives in the air I threw my staff and Aelita through an energy field destroying two Mantas.

CLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCL

Yumi then said "Jeremy what are you waiting for reprogram the Overwing."

Jeremy then responded "It's not working I'll try the Overboard. I got a problem."

Then Yumi replied you're not the only one." Then Aelita and I destroyed they last two Mantas. Yumi replied "nice one Aelita, Theron." Aelita used her creativity to create a landing for Ulrich and Yumi."

Aelita and I flew down and I imagined my wings disappearing as I landed." Aelita then asked "are you okay."

Yumi then replied "yeah, thanks Aelita."

Ulrich then said "I have a question, Einstein when did you program Theron wings."

Jeremy then said "I didn't. I don't know how he got them."

I then said "I think I know. You know I have forms that copy Ulrich and Odd, I must have forms that copy Yumi and Aelita two and…"

Jeremy continued "since the gender doesn't match the full form can't be created but some pieces for instance Aelita's wings could be altered."

Ulrich then said "just great Jeremy what's happening with Odd's board."

Jeremy then said "it's loading but it will take some time."

Yumi then said "we could try to climb up."

Then Ulrich responded "the rock face is too smooth. We'll never make it."

Yumi then said "still scared of heights huh."

Krabs are shooting at us Aelita and I put our wings on and flew up and Aelita said "We're on it."

In the air I said "duplicate" after getting hit my a laser and my clone appeared and we through our staff's destroying two Krabs but my clone and I were hit by the other two Krabs and my clone was destroyed but I was devirtualized. Yumi and I got out of the scanners.

CLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCL

We headed up to the lab with Ulrich and Jeremy said "Return to the past now." Then he launched the program, engulfing us in white light.

CLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCLCL We back at the assembling watching Odd's movie. Jim's even laughing at himself. Being nice to Sissy at he end.
