Another day arrived at kadic academy and the groggy teens of last nights prom were all walking into the showers Jeremie was exhausted no from partying but his link with Aelita and Lyoko as their powers exhausted their health Odd was at the least danger as his only occurred at random moments Dallas had no risk at all from this problem but he was heavily shattered as he had spiked the punch at the prom he hadn't been caught but unbeknownst to him Adam had the same idea which lead to many students having the same problem he quickly arose from his bed he then got out of it and saw Jeremie at the computer talking with Aelita he stretched his arms
"Mornin Einstein" said Dallas stretching as he stood up "morning" replied Jeremie turning around "Hi" said Aelita on the screen "hey how are you do…" said Dallas before in his state slipped over and smashed his head on Jeremie's bed "son of a bitch" said Dallas silently hoping Aelita didn't hear but unfortunately she did "why do swear all the time" she asked "sorry I shouldn't it's just it really hurts" said Dallas feeling the lump go down "okay then" said Aelita "come on Einstein we got science with Hertz" said Dallas changing his clothes as he slipped on his blue jeans and white shirt before going into his wardrobe and grabbing his jacket and placing that on as well "Jesus man did you even change your clothes last night" said Dallas just noticing Jeremie was still in his clothes from the prom "no sorry" replied Jeremie "did you even sleep" asked Dallas placing his wings on before placing his crossbow over his shoulders then he proceeded in grabbing Jeremie "come on get dressed you sorry Aelita but he's got to go" said Dallas as he turned off the computer as Jeremie quickly changed into his regular attire of jumper and trousers before they left the room when they ran into Odd and Ulrich "sleep well" said Ulrich looking at the shattered state of each and every one of them "shall we take that as a no" said Odd who looked even worse as they left the dorm building and heading to the cafeteria.
an hour later they were sitting in Mrs Hertz's class there was another adult in their he was dressed in a white lab coat white shirt and red tie black hair and beard and wire thin glasses he was pointing a stick at the projection of a Nuclear PowerStation Jeremie and Dallas where front row centre whilst Odd and Ulrich where on the right of them Mrs Hertz was working the projector
"Our heating plant uses energy supplied by a nuclear reactor and thanks to which we produce thousands of megawatts of electrical power" the man said pointing at the projection at the cooling tower "Here we have the cooling tower" he continued before moving the stick to the next area "here is the turbine, the voltinator" he continued before moving the stick to the final area "And finally the reactor" he said boring almost everyone to death in class including Sissi who was reading a magazine, Nicholas who was half asleep, Adam who had a look on his face the hell are you saying and a kid who was wearing a long sleeved red shirt underneath a black shorter sleeved t-shirt with long black hair tied at the back in a ponytail he had a necklace and was yarning loudly "this plant is one of the most powerful in the world as chief engineer I am particularly concerned with safety" continued the man as Ulrich sat looking out of the window at some overhead birds "and to grantee this safety security measures have been applied at every level of production, the plants design and its functioning" he said whilst Odd was drawing Kiwi as Dallas just sat there "we call this combination of safety measures in depth defence I'll be glad to answer any questions" he finished causing Dallas to sit up straight whilst Jeremie raised his hand "err sir" said Jeremie causing Sissi to turn from her magazine and look up straight towards the front "yes go on Jeremie" said Hertz "I'd like to know if an atomic process exists for fusing virtual particles and materializing them in the real world" said Jeremie now standing up and answering this question caused the other Lyoko warriors to look and smile at him "um hum" muttered the man at the front of the classroom before walking across the other side of the projection "son that is in the realm of science fiction sorry" said the man then Hertz walked to the projector "Jeremie is an excellent student but he's a bit of a dreamer" she said as Jeremie sat down whilst the class laughed at him rather loudly Sissi's group then Dallas turned back to them raising his middle finger but so the teachers couldn't see.
Adam started to have a head ache he placed his hand to his head as Nicholas looked at him
"Hey are you okay" asked Nicholas "yeah it's just this lessons boring me to shit" replied Adam then suddenly the projection went off causing the Lyoko warriors to turn their heads Dallas quickly activated eagle sight but it was black like most other things
"Well now what's happened here?" said Hertz before attempting to work the projector first by spinning the lens and then by pressing the button "certainly nothing serious just a blown fuse that's all" she finished before Odd, Dallas, Ulrich and Jeremie looked at each other as the bell went, they then proceeded to head to their free period and out of the building.
Yumi was standing waiting for them outside the building also on a free period when Sissi's gang with Adam now looking much better when Sissi stopped and looked at the Japanese girl with disgust due to she saw Yumi as a rival, Yumi noticing this turned her head and looked back at her before Sissi chuckled and laughed
"…And I'm saying maybe XANA is behind this" said Jeremie as him, Odd, Dallas and Ulrich left the building "dude I checked instantly it was black no trace of XANA" said Dallas "yeah don't get so excited it was just a short circuit" said Odd "however if was collateral damage of XANA I wouldn't have been able to tell" said Dallas as they walked over to Yumi who nodded on their arrival when they heard a familiar voice call out "Odd, I've thought it over you can form your group the Foxtrot fanatics" said Delmas "yes's" said Odd "it's Fort minor sir" said Yumi
Author's note
Changed the name because shut up, it takes us a few hours to write these let us be creative no offense in any way there is an actual band called fort minor they've released 1 album hey haven't broken up their just on hiatus but like we said post 2000 also they are the ones who sung in stereo the song from the last chapter
And know back to the story
"but it must be open to anyone who wishes to play is that clear" said Delmas "no problem sir" said Odd "ditto" said Dallas with his finger behind his back crossed as Delmas nodded and walked away Odd fell to his knees "yeah let's hear it for the god of rock and roll" he shouted "I can think off a few people who won't make it into the band" said Dallas before grabbing Odd and putting back on his feet "thanks" said Odd as he looked at his watch "hey come on if we step on it we can photo copy the leaflets before lunch Jeremie" said Odd "you know what I'm not into my music that much anyway besides I wanna check on that outage" said Jeremie as he walked away "okay see you later Jeremie" said Yumi as Odd turned to Dallas "what about you man" he asked "nah finally got hold of a few things from my dad's will including his 1990s CB750 Nighthawk" said Dallas "his what" asked Ulrich scratching the back of his head "motorcycle Jackass I need to fix it up in the garage area" said Dallas "what your allowed to ride it" said Yumi "yeah" said Dallas as he walked away to the garage area of the school.
In the Garage the Motorcycle was in a few pieces as before the death of his dad they had been fixing it together but they never completed this so Dallas took it upon himself to finish what they had started he had permission to store the bike on campus, he grabbed a toolbox and had changed into a grey jumpsuit and began to fix the bike when he heard the door open he then decided to grab a wrench and he got up when he saw Adam walk in who was looking at the bike
"Shit how did this mother fucker find out about the bike" said Dallas quietly "I know you're in here Dallas and I know we don't exactly get along but let's talk man to man" said Adam looking around "I want to make a little deal" continued Adam "yeah and what's that" said Dallas putting down the wrench and coming out of hiding "I wish to purchase your bike for $15,000 in cash" said Adam upon hearing this Dallas walked over to Adam and stood right up against him and look at him in the eyes "fuck off" said Dallas before turning back to the bike continuing to fix it "you know I'm determined to obtain the bike Dallas" said Adam sitting on a stool which then collapsed below him "I used the screws and anything I could to fix the bike" said Dallas before stopping what he was doing and turned "and the bike aint for sale this thing is worth a lot to me and that means no" said Dallas before pushing Adam out of the room and shutting the door he then went to work and painted the bike black in the areas it needed and then added an area for him to store his crossbow when ridding the bike before turning and seeing Adam still their at the door he then took the keys for the bike and walked out of the room "I said it once so I will say it again, fuck off" said Dallas walking back to his dorm after locking the door to the garage.
Odd, Ulrich and Yumi were heading towards the photocopier which was outside Delmas office
"Dallas should hopefully be back in time for the auditions after school" said Ulrich as Odd placed the paper in the machine and hit copy and the machine buzzed to life and began scanning the page "yeah our lead singer always needs to be their" said Yumi "as does are secondary singer" said Odd as he examined the pages coming from the machine "just hope that we get someone good" said Dallas who just walked in through the door "good to see you showed up" said Ulrich "yeah but first let's get some grub I'm hungry" said Odd "mate you must use 15% concentrated power of will to eat the amount you have" said Dallas before he pulled out his book and wrote it down "why do you carry that thing" asked Yumi as they left the office with Odd carrying the giant stack of flyers.
In his room Jeremie returned on his computer and began typing which then opened up a crude highly undetailed map
"hi, is something wrong Jeremie" said Aelita but Jeremie didn't hear him as the latter began typing again a more detailed map began to appear and an area of this map began to flash yellow "you know if you have a problem you can always talk to me about it" said Aelita to Jeremie who still couldn't hear her as the map zoomed in "weird why can't I hear anything, let's check this out" said Jeremie as he began typing again and then pressed the enter key "Jeremie answer for fucks sake" said Aelita at just the moment that Jeremie managed to get contact with her "Aelita" said Jeremie in a shocked tone "sorry I got a little mad there, is everything okay" Replied Aelita who kneeling in a tower examining come codes on a small screen in a similar appearance to the one used to deactivate towers "we had a power failure in class this morning and the school electricity system seems to be having problems and why did you say fuck" said Jeremie "sorry I get it from Dallas" said Aelita closing down the screen "hey you just said it" replied Aelita whilst standing up "sorry I share a room with the guy so technically same here" said Jeremie "so you think XANA could be behind it Jeremie" said Aelita "you never know" said Jeremie before a moment of silence as the two looked at each other "have you noticed anything on Lyoko" asked Jeremie breaking the silence "no everything's quiet here" replied Aelita "okay I'll do a scan if XANA's activated a tower we'll find out soon" said Jeremie as he stood up "where are you going" asked Aelita "To the cafeteria they've got Brussel sprouts today, you know what they are" said Jeremie "yes but I don't know what they taste like are they good" asked Aelita.
In the cafeteria Ulrich, Odd, Dallas and Yumi were joined by Jeremie at the table Ulrich pushed his tray away similar to what Dallas who was back in his regular attire, had done
"There gross" said Ulrich wiping his tongue with his hands as Jeremie's green eye was looking at the whole thing "okay Jeremie that answers my question thanks" said Aelita but only Jeremie could hear her but Dallas could tell as he activated eagle sight, and as Jeremie's eye returned to blue Dallas then proceeded to chuckle at the hilarious sight of Ulrich after eating the sprouts the latter then looked around and then quickly stabbed him in the hand with a fork "ouch" said Dallas sarcastically looking at Ulrich, the former knew he had it coming as the 3 holes in his hand began to heal leaving no sign of any damage "still never going to get used to that" said Yumi also pushing her food away either because of the taste or because of Dallas hand Odd then got up and proceeded to start handing out the flyers for the auditions he was stopped by Jim "Odd , what are you up to now" asked Jim in a tone that was curious not that he intended to punish Odd "were holding auditions for are group" said Odd holding up a flyer which was then taken by Jim who didn't break eye contact with Odd then he started to read it "hey if anyone is interested we need a drummer" said Odd walking away from Jim placing a small pile of flyers on each table whilst quickly turning to the next "here, here ya go" he said during the process when he stopped in front of Adam, Sissi, Nicholas and Herb who apart from Nicholas were sitting down the latter then raised his hand as if to say "could I have a flyer" but this was denied by Odd who pulled the remainder of the pile close to him and do a 180 in the opposite direction.
Outside the small building where the numerous vending machines where which was just next to the garage where Dallas's bike was being stored the group was standing watching Odd put in a coin and trying to choose what to have
"Let's see Hot chocolate no, soup no the soup tastes like dish water" said Odd when he suddenly had a vision of Ulrich pressing the soup button so he quickly once he snapped out of it stopped Ulrich "ha" he said over his success when Dallas then pressed the soup button getting him a high five from Ulrich and Odd the soup "hey you pressed soup" said Odd "come on its not that awful" said Ulrich when the machine started up and the cup appeared when only a drop of the soup fell into the cup "this miserable machines on the blink again oh" said Odd as he tipped the drop out of the cup before he threw it at the machine Dallas then looked in eagle sense and saw it appear black "maybe it's another power failure" said Jeremie "any idea's Dallas" he continued "nope its black could be a side effect of XANA's attack or this school is getting shitty everyday" replied Dallas "are you worried" asked Yumi "yeah I am, I'll keep checking things out" said Jeremie "if you need us we'll be in the gym we'll be holding auditions" said Yumi as Jeremie walked to the dorms whilst the others went to the hall "man I got a bad fellin about this" said Dallas "why" asked Ulrich "don't know" said Dallas as they entered the hall and Ulrich set up the drum kit using super sprint.
Half an hour later the auditions were still carrying on boring the Lyoko warriors who were sitting in chairs in a row in front of the stage Dallas however had a second chair which he was resting his feet on, the kid who had yawned earlier in class was auditioning he was hitting the drums at a good fast pace "yeah ah" he said before placing the drum sticks down
"yeah you got a lot of style its heavy metal right" asked Odd "oh yeah for sure I love it" the guy replied "really sorry mike but were looking for something more traditional ya know" said Yumi, Mike still smiling shrugged his shoulders walked off the stage, opened the door and left the room but Odd turned his attention to the next person a young girl in their year who had dark brown hair with a pink flower in it and a red vest type shirt with a black mini skirt "hello guys" she said but only Odd seemed to pay attention to her Yumi and Ulrich were board out of their minds and Dallas was asleep "hey how are you Naomi I didn't know you played the drums" asked Odd slightly nudging Dallas waking him up who then proceeded to hit him in the arm "we'll yeah a little besides I've always dreamed of being in a band" said Naomi "okay go on" said Ulrich as Naomi say down and started to tap the drums lightly with the sticks leaving only Odd impressed but boring Ulrich and Yumi further whilst Dallas just sat head in his hands, Naomi quickly finished placed down the drum sticks and bowed then Odd stood up "great Naomi that was fantastic we'll come on were not going to find anyone better right" asked Odd towards the other Lyoko warriors as Naomi walked out of the room then Dallas pulled him down into his chair and he quickly pulled out a knife from his boot "wake me up because you have an erection again and you won't be getting another" said Dallas before spinning it in his hand and placing it back in his boot causing the others to laugh whilst Odd looked genuinely scared.
In his room Jeremie was at his computer examining the map again the area was still flashing away
"400,000 volts at a high tension pylon" said Jeremie rubbing his mouth whilst leaned into the screen he then leaned back "that's not right" he said before he blinked and a new window appeared this one showed a tower with the voltage box he then began typing "Aelita" he said when she popped up in a new window "got anything new" she said almost instantly "well not really" said Jeremie rubbing the back of his head when his computer crashed and went to a blue screen and then shut off all together "Aelita" he said a bit too late he then turned to his light and pressed the button it didn't turn on he then rushed out of his room and shut the door he then rushed down the stairs and then to the gates of the school where upon arrival he saw the pylon with visible electricity he then rushed to the hall where the Lyoko warriors where sitting down between auditions Odd was hitting his knees with the drum sticks and Dallas flicking his knife around in his hand when Jeremie opened the door heavily out of breath Ulrich super sprinted over to him and grabbed his neck and put him in a chair "this is XANA's doing I'm almost sure of it" said Jeremie "yeah go on" said Yumi as Jeremie took of his glasses and wiped his forehead "the currents cutting out all over the school and the pylon outside is way over the voltage limit it could explode" said Jeremie "but why would XANA do that" asked Ulrich "XANA wouldn't go to all this trouble for nothing" said Dallas who had stood up and was now walking around putting the knife away "your guesses are as good as mine guys" said Jeremie as the door at the back of the hall opened and Sissi, Adam, Nicholas and Herb walked in "surprise" said Sissi as they walked over to the group "looks like I put the knife away too soon" said Dallas as they turned around then whilst Dallas was standing up Adam stole his chair so Dallas punched Adam in his nose and took it back "nope" said Dallas then Sissi got another chair and sat down on it so she was leaning on the back with Nicholas and Herb either side of her "It's obvious my friends and I aren't welcome but…" said Sissi who stopped when Dallas gave the sarcastic noooo face he then got up and walked to the stage "… but my farther did say the band was open to everybody right, oh but don't worry I don't want to be in a group of dead beat weirdos" said Sissi before Dallas shouted at her on stage with the drum sticks in his hand "then why do you hang around with them then" before doing a Ba dum tssshhh with the drums making the Lyoko warriors laugh "but Nicholas just loves the drums" finished Sissi then Odd turned his head "a drummer huh what does he play his moms pots and pans" said Odd as Nicholas just stood there and looked down he was somewhat nervous even though he was in Sissi's gang he didn't hate the Lyoko warriors he just didn't wish to be the odd one out in his group so he was more tolerant and unlike Herb he wasn't exactly in love with Sissi, Adam was feeling dizzy again and wasn't even paying attention to anything anyone was doing Nicholas had walked on stage Herb was just admiring Sissi who in turn was admiring Ulrich who in turn flipped her the bird.
Nicholas picked up the drum sticks and started to play surprisingly well this left the Lyoko warriors shocked at his skill Sissi turned her head to look at the group who were still heavily impressed by Nicholas's drumming skill as the latter finished Herb and Sissi began clapping Adam however was almost asleep due to him still not feeling to good but he then started to recover Nicholas walked off stage and back over to his group
"Looks like you just found yourself a drummer" said Sissi before her and her group left "Nicholas the drummer in our band I don't care how good he is the answers no, besides Sissi set this up to give us a hard time" said Odd "maybe for once she was trying to help, and you've got to admit Nicholas can really play the drums" replied Yumi the Ulrich leaned back into his chair "better than Naomi that's for sure" said Ulrich "she's only a beginner she needs a little more time" argued Odd "uh huh a couple more years should do it" said Ulrich "well if that's how you feel listen up if you want Nicholas to be your drummer you'd better find yourself another guitarist" said Odd "and I say if you don't take him you'd better find yourself another singer" said Yumi "there is one more person" said Dallas then Jeremie began to sweat "who" asked Ulrich then Dallas looked at Jeremie "no I won't do it" said Jeremie "Jeremie" said the rest of the group "come on bro I've seen you in our room you can at least try" said Dallas "fine" said Jeremie before walking up on stage he sat down and picked up the drum sticks and started to play at a skill that no one could have expected from him he then seemed to have been enjoying himself before he stopped and placed the sticks down and then walked back to the others "told ya" said Dallas as Jeremie then proceeded to walk to the door and leave "looks like we may have found are actual drummer" said Ulrich then they heard a trombone and standing their playing the gold instrument was Jim "would you guys need a sly trombone by any chance" he asked as Jim although a member of staff wasn't technically a teacher and tried to be friendly with some of the students but he stood their smiling trying to join their band.
Jeremie ran down through the tunnel in the sewers and upon arriving at their mode of transportation he grabbed his scooter and set off for the factory and upon arriving he climbed the ladder which lead onto the bridge which in turn lead to the factory entrance he swung down from the rope and got in the elevator and pressed the button which then closed the grate and then the elevator began moving down into the lab the doors open and then Jeremie proceeded out of the elevator as the doors closed with the centre mechanism spinning and closing the door then Jeremie raised his hand and held it open as the chair he sat in then moved from the computer towards him allowing for him to sit in it then he made it move back towards the computer whilst on Lyoko Aelita left a tower in the forest sector only to see some vibrations it was XANA's attack Jeremie began typing at the computer
"Aelita sorry about the outage what's new" Jeremie asked when Aelita's window popped up "you were right to be worried XANA's woken up" said Aelita when another window popped up showing the four sectors "huh the scans picked something up the towers XANA's activated is in the desert region" said Jeremie "I'm on my way" said Aelita Jeremie looked down "be careful Aelita" said Jeremie "I will" replied Aelita before the map window reopened and showed the school being affected by the power loss.
In the school Jim was playing the trombone with some style too he was enjoying himself although the gang watching weren't impressed with him, he stopped and turned to them
"Well what do ya say" he asked "you see Jim were a… were a rock band not a military brass band" replied Odd "so no" said Dallas when Yumi's phone began to ring she answered it and listened "okay be right there" she said before turning back to Jim "were going to have to audition you another time" she said "oh no you don't you not going anywhere unless you agree to take me as a part of your group" said Jim but the Lyoko warriors had already left leaving Jim standing there.
The Lyoko warrior's ran across the school yard when Dallas stopped and saw the window in the door for the garage area smashed
"I'll catch up" he said before running over to the garage he then peeked inside to see Adam hot wiring the bike "Dallas should be happy with the money I leave him" he said laughing "no I won't" said Dallas who was suddenly behind him he quickly grabbed Adam and threw him off the bike the latter landed by the wall he then reached into a tool box and grabbed a screw driver and curled up "what the fuck did I say bitch" said Dallas walking over to him "and what the fuck did I say" said Adam stabbing him in the shoulder with the screwdriver and letting go, Dallas then threw him against the wall again then he pulled out the screwdriver and dropped it then Adam saw in horror as the hole he had created began to heal up first the flesh on the inside then the skin "you damaged the wings" said Dallas having noticed that the screwdriver had gone through his over vest before Adam grabbed the tool box and threw it at Dallas who dodged and the tool box ended up smashing the bike "oh shit" said Adam "you just made a big mistake" said Dallas grabbing Adam and pinning him against the wall and then he grabbed a wrench and smashed it into Adam's face causing him to bleed violently all over his face his eyelid was fixed shut then Dallas smashed his face into the metal draw's and knocked him out, Dallas then picked up his body and took him to the infirmary Dallas then quickly unhealed where he had been stabbed and then it began to bleed heavily he then knocked the door open the nurse saw the result of their fight "little help here" said Dallas as the nurse helped put Adam onto one of the hospital bed's she then called for Delmas "I need principal Delmas down here know" said the nurse she then looked at Dallas wound "what exactly happened" she continued "he tried stealing my bike so I stopped him and he stabs me so I smashed his face against the metal draws" said Dallas as the nurse started sowing Dallas's wound up then she applied some anaesthetic to Adams face when Delmas entered followed by Jim "Marshall what on earth has happened here" he shouted as Jim restrained Dallas after seeing Adam's face and placed him on a chair outside he then grabbed his belt and tied Dallas hands together due to the nature of the incident.
The other Lyoko warriors rushed to the drain in the forest outside of the school Ulrich slid it open as Ulrich went down first followed by Yumi as Odd pulled out his phone and called Jeremie
"Jeremie were on are way" he said before climbing onto the ladder and closing the drain he climbed to the bottom where Yumi and Ulrich were standing with their skateboards Ulrich then passed Odd his and they set off for the factory with Odd running and jumping onto his when they reached a gap they used the boards to jump across onto the next section of the sewer walkway when they arrived Ulrich climbed the ladder first and open the entrance to the factory bridge followed by Yumi who he helped up then by Odd they quickly slid down the ropes and got into the elevator and pressed the button and it went down to the lab the door then opened at the lab floor and Jeremie leaned out to see them "ah at last hey where's Dallas" asked Jeremie "he still at school he said he would catch up" said Yumi "hang on if he's at school I'll patch into the security cameras" said Jeremie as they walked over and saw the camera of Jim placing his belt around Dallas hands and restraining him in the chair "and you will stay here until the police arrive" said Jim then Dallas entered eagle vison and looked up at the security camera "well IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN RETURN TO THE PAST" said Dallas before nodding whilst looking at the security camera "Okay that's that" said Jeremie "here's what XANA's up to once he's stored enough voltage in that pylon he'll unleash it all" continued Jeremie pointing at an image of a pylon on the screen with a number representing volts in 1000's going up "unleash it where" asked Odd "guess on the nuclear plant" said Jeremie "creating a short circuit and…" said Yumi too frightened to finish her sentence whilst at the pylon in question sparks where flying off of it "I can't manage to cut the power, I've tried everything I've never seen such a weird thing" said a Technician as in the lab the window shoed the power in the pylon continue to rise "the pylon will take one million volts once it's all accumulated XANA could blow everything up" said Jeremie "nuclear sabotage that's a little over our heads" said Yumi when Ulrich turned his head towards her "yeah what do you mean" he asked her "think about it if we fail in Lyoko the whole region will be wiped out we've got to warn the authorities" said Yumi "are you crazy there will be an inquiry we'll be questioned we'll have to tell them everything" said Jeremie as on Lyoko Aelita was following one of the veins which lead to the activated tower she could overhear them "and when they discover XANA they'll pull all the plugs out" finished Jeremie "and we'll lose Aelita" said Yumi "I know that but were talking about a nuclear disaster" continued Yumi before looking at Jeremie and vice versa "okay let's take a vote who's for raising the alarm" asked Jeremie Yumi raised her hand "for" she said Jeremie raised his hand "against" he said then Odd raised his hand and said "against" then Aelita appeared on the screen the finally Ulrich raised his hand and said "sorry Aelita but I also think we can't take that big a risk I vote for lets report it" then Jeremie seemed happy "well then two votes for and two votes against it's a tie we don't tell anybody" said Jeremie "I think it means we should tell everybody" argued Yumi "don't I have the right to vote" said Aelita then they all looked at the screen "why sure you do that way their won't be a tie" said Jeremie turning away from the screen "in that case I vote for" then Jeremie turned back "Huh" he said "I don't want thousands of people to die just to save me" said Aelita "Thank you Aelita" said Yumi then Odd and Ulrich went to the elevator.
They went down to the scanners whilst Jeremie loaded up the virtual forms on the computer as Odd and Ulrich went towards two of the scanners and stepped inside as Jeremie selected their virtual forms and began the procedure he pressed enter on the keyboard and Ulrich started to get scanned he pressed enter again and Odd started to get scanned then they were both virtualized into the dessert sector starting with the blue square outlines that began to gain the texture of the two which when finally done they fell and landed on the floor and stood up
"Were goanna make it, huh Ulrich" asked Odd "I sure hope so Odd" replied Ulrich when they saw Aelita waving at them from a far "Okay I've got it the scan has located the activated tower" said Jeremie as Ulrich and Odd began running towards Aelita "It's in the desert region near and oasis" continued Jeremie as Ulrich and Odd arrived at Aelita "I know where it is that way on the other plato" she said
In the real world Yumi exited the sewers and headed back towards the school whilst in the real world Dallas was sitting in the room outside the infirmary hands still held together he was talking a song
Aunque digan que soy
Un bandolero donde voy
Le doy gracias a dios
Por hoy estar donde estoy
Then Yumi walked into the room and saw him sitting their hands behind his back with blood over his clothes and a smile on his face
"What did you do?" she asked "look at Adam's face" replied Dallas as he started laughing "so what's the plan" he asked Yumi "well I'm going to alert the authorities about the pylon" said Yumi "okay I'll keep an eye on the pylon" said Dallas "okay let me help you out first" said Yumi as she started walking over "no need" said Dallas as he moved his hand's free "I know how to get out of a simple thing like that" said Dallas as he pulled his knife out of his boot and cut the stitches in his shoulder and pulled them out and healed the wound then they both rushed out of the infirmary Dallas went to outside the school and Yumi went straight to Delmas Office which was illuminated by candles due to the power loss Delmas, Hertz and the technician from earlier were in the office whilst the latter just got off the phone "I don't get it the plant is functioning perfectly but the city's in total darkness no need for alarm though were working on finding a reason" said the technician when there was knock on the door this caused Delmas to turn around "I'm sorry to disturb you sir but it's really important" said Yumi barging into the room "you've got to trust me I know it's goanna sound crazy sir please hear me out the nuclear plant is in danger of blowing up" finished Yumi leaving the adults in the room confused.
On Lyoko Ulrich, Aelita and Odd were running towards the oasis which was where the vibrations were leading towards but when they arrived they found a small pond a few stones and a couple of bush's no tower to be seen
"I don't believe this, what's going on where is this tower" asked Odd "you can't see it know but it's here all right look at XANA's pulsations they all converge here" said Aelita as Odd and Ulrich began to have a look around "times like these you realise how much you need Dallas" said Ulrich "Real piss take isn't it" said Aelita then Ulrich and Odd stopped what they were doing and looked at Aelita, both with a surprised look on their face "Hey I can say that can't I" said Aelita "yeah but when you get to earth don't say it all the time" said Jeremie before checking the coordinates "you can do it, you can't be too far away you've got to find it fast the pylon's going to be overloaded soon" continued Jeremie.
At the school Yumi rushed outside the school gates and saw the pylon almost glowing with electricity she pulled out her phone
"Jeremie, the principal and Doctor delaker didn't believe me" said Yumi "were going crazy here too Yumi the pylon is 85% charged and we can't find the tower" replied Jeremie as he hung up Yumi looked at Dallas "well shit" said Dallas "why" asked Yumi "I used eagle sense to hear your phone call" replied Dallas who then looked back at the pylon "any ideas in case this shit goes south" asked Yumi "just one" replied Dallas.
On Lyoko Ulrich was stabbing the ground by the oasis Aelita was stood up looking around with her hand above her eyes and Odd just sat by the oasis with a rock in his hand tossing it up and down whilst looking into the oasis when suddenly he stopped and chucked the stone into the oasis when it didn't make the noise is would when a rock hits water it went straight through then Odd leaned forward and placed his hand into it and felt around before withdrawing it and looking at his still bone dry hand before looking at the oasis
"I've found it" exclaimed Odd causing the others to turn around "we've been tricked theirs no water down their just a surface layer I'll go and have a better look" continued Odd before diving into the oasis and then adjusting himself so he landed on his feet then Ulrich jumped down followed by Aelita they all landed and then they saw the tower they started to run towards it but they had to go threw a rock formation that consisted of rocks that where slanted and leaning in creating a passage way but there were gaps between them Odd was ahead followed by Ulrich who was protecting Aelita before they stopped at the end of the passage when suddenly a crab appeared "carful" said Odd when the crab fired and hit Odd in the knee causing the electricity effect and Jeremie to shout "Odd" as it showed Odds life points go down "I hate those horrible crabs" said Odd as the creature approached them when another two appeared upon seeing this Ulrich drew his katana "Aelita it's you there after go on run" said Ulrich before Aelita slightly panicked and started running for cover using the rocks that where in the area "Aelita" shouted Odd as one of the crabs pursed her and started shooting at her but missed due to her speed before one was aimed dead on but as it fired Odd jumped into the beam causing him to hit the ground lose the texture, become the square outline and DE virtualize leaving Ulrich to defend Aelita by himself, whilst Odd arrived back in his scanner out of breath from his ordeal whilst on Lyoko one of the crabs began shooting at Ulrich who was using his katana to deflect the beams before he started running at it he then suddenly split into 3 of him and charged at the crabs the two at the sides diverted at their respective crabs whilst the real Ulrich struck the first crab on the XANA logo destroying it, whilst on earth Odd arrived in the lab where Jeremie looked at the screen and saw that the pylon was on 94% but went down to 90% "Thank you for saving Aelita and buying us some time" said Jeremie "how so" asked Odd "due to you going to Lyoko XANA had to divert his attention to creating the crabs and the pylon went down" replied Jeremie "but thinks still look bad here soon XANA will be able to attack the nuclear plant.
Back at the school the pylon was causing electricity to go everywhere whilst Dallas and Yumi looked at it whilst two city workers were talking to Yumi
"Can you repeat that" said one of them "the voltage that's building up in the pylon is going to be used to attack the nuclear power plant sir how can you just stand there do something before it's too late" cried Yumi to the two men but to no anvil "how do you know all that" the worker asked causing Yumi to groan and clench her fist whilst Dallas looked at the pylon before placing his crossbow, jacket and over vest on the side presumably due to the heat of the pylon.
On Lyoko Aelita watched from behind cover the 3 Ulrich's in a standoff with the two remaining crabs when the Ulrich's moved closer together when the real Ulrich signalled the other's
"Go on" he said to the one to his right "go on" he said to the other both of which sheathed their blades and jumped up into the air and pulled them out again but one was destroyed due to the crabs fire the other landed on top of the other crab and struck its logo and jumped down next to Ulrich as the creature exploded "fusion" shouted Ulrich as the two of him became one again "come on you only get one shot" said Ulrich before charging at the crab "Ulrich are you out of your fucking mind" said Odd from in the lab whilst two ID cards popped up one for Ulrich and the other for the crab, as on Lyoko Ulrich was charging at the crab which shot him in the shoulder "no" shouted Aelita but Ulrich even though temporally fazed continued running towards the crab "come on hurry the pylon is over 98%" said Jeremie as Ulrich jumped up into the air drew his blade and landed on the crab before striking it in the logo and jumping off as the creature exploded "Okay it's up to you Aelita" said Ulrich as Aelita came out from behind cover and ran towards the tower.
On earth the situation had not improved Yumi was still be questioned by the city workers
"A super computer in a factory a virtual world" said the city worker "I swear you have to believe me" screamed Yumi when the two city workers looked at each other in disbelief as on Lyoko Aelita entered the tower and walked to the centre of the platform and began to fly upwards as the pylon reached 100% "its goanna work" said Odd, as the pylon began to spark and the electricity moved along the cable "Yumi remember that idea I had" said Dallas "yeah" asked Yumi "you might want to look away" replied Dallas as he manifest eagle sense and flew into the air towards the cable and grabbed onto it making the city workers stair in disbelief at this sight when the electricity moving at a great speed slowed down to the point of stopping as it went through Dallas burning him like electricity would but Dallas wouldn't let go the electricity was conducting through him illuminating his skeleton due to the amount he was trying to absorb as much as he could but to no anvil he was thrown from the cable with an explosion and landed against the wall of the school he had only slowed down the electricity but it soon picked up speed again then Yumi raised her hand to her forehead and use her telekinesis and lifted a car into the cable trying to absorb more electricity but it only exploded the car sending a small shock wave knocking everyone to the ground "oh no" shouted Yumi whilst in the tower Aelita reached the top platform and walked to the centre of it and the blue transparent screen popped up allowing Aelita to place her hand on it and the word Aelita was typed into the screen followed by code and then below it Lyoko as the electricity in the cables stopped and disappeared and the power in the pylon went down rapidly whilst in the lab upon seeing this Jeremie leaned back into his chair "ready for a return trip to the past Odd" said Jeremie as all the blue screens inside the tower began to go towards the bottom of the tower and the white light illuminated started and began engulfing the factory and soon the school.
Earlier that day after the auditions the group had gotten permission from Delmas to do a live performance in the cafeteria after school Dallas had his ear microphone in Yumi was holding regular microphone, Odd and Ulrich were on guitars and Jeremie was on the drums
"Okay hit it" said Odd

This is survival of the fittest
This is do or die
This is the winner takes it all
So take it all
[Dallas]
Wasn't ready to being a millionaire, I was ill-prepared
I was prepared to be ill though, the skill was there
From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends
It was 'bout busting raps and standing for something, fuck an acronym
Cut the fucking act like you're happy, I'm fucking back again
With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?
It aint over 'til I say it's over – enough when I say enough
Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up
I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves
When the thought of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivated it
Weight is up, hands up like it's 12 noon, nah, homie
Hold them bitches straight up, up wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff
Came up rough, came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos
I ain't deflate enough, last chance to make this whole stadium erupt
[Yumi]
This is survival of the fittest
This is do or die
This is the winner takes it all
So take it all
[Dallas]
I can see the finish line with each line that I finish
I'm so close to my goals I can almost pole vault over the goal post
And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough
To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what?
They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath
I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter, I can adjust
Plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bust
So floor's open if you'd like to discuss
Top 5 in this mothafucka and if I don't make the cut
What, like I give a fuck, I'mma light this bitch up like I'm driving a truck
To the side of a pump, 0 to 60 hop in and gun it
Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up
And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut
And I look like I might just give up, eh you might've mistook
Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow, I'm stabbing myself
With a fucking knife in the gut, while I'm wiping my butt!
Cause I just shitted on the mic, and like getting cut
I get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nut
Cause I'mma fight 'til I die or win
Biting the dust it'll just make me angrier, wait
Let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quitting
Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, slut
It's survival of what?
[Yumi]
This is survival of the fittest
This is do or die
This is the winner takes it all
So take it all
[Dallas]
So get your ideas, stack your ammo
But don't come unless you come to battle, I'm mad now jump in the saddle
This is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shit
Lift, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this
Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't diffuse the wick
I don't do this music shit, I lose my shit
Ain't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truth
It's all I know how to do, as soon as I get thrown in the booth, I spit
But my respect is overdue, I'm showing you the flow no one do
Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit!
So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other trades
So you'd better trade your fucking mics in for some tool-box-es
Cause you'll never take my pride from me
It'll have to be pried from me, so pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers
But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieve
Cause this is something that I must use to suc-ceed
And if you don't like me then fuck you
Self es-teem must be fucking shooting through-the-roof cause trust me
My skin is too thick and bul-let proof to touch me
I can see why the fuck I disgust you
I must be a-llergic to failure cause everytime I come close to it
I just sneeze, I just go atchoo then achieve
[Yumi]
This is survival of the fittest
This is do or die
This is the winner takes it all
So take it all

as they finished the song they were cheered but the look of Delmas face said I'm not impressed with some of those lyrics but they couldn't honestly care.
