Wow were doing this for once at the beginning of the story well this chapter is going to conation heavy adult themes so you have been warned.

And now start the story

The day had ended and the night was at its darkest the only thing keeping the road bright was the street lights, the road was underneath a highway, the road was empty due to the lateness of the night, out of the darkness came a man in his 50's with white hair that was sticking up, he was sweating heavily as he ran underneath the highway, he was wearing a navy blue jumpsuit, the white shirt underneath was exposed and he had what appeared to be an orange handkerchief in his pocket, he was constantly looking backwards whilst running forwards constantly, he was breathing heavily so he stopped before looking backwards, a car began to appear on the road he had just run along its headlights on full and going at a constant speed, upon noticing this the man carried on running, the car driver noticed him and started speeding towards him, he quickly entered a junkyard of old cars that weren't so much damaged just dusty and scratched, he quickly ran through the open chain link fence before stopping at one of the cars, he placed his hand on the door handle and started pulling it, the door wouldn't open, he then quickly went around the car to an office, he tried to pull the door open, it was locked he then started knocking on the door, all the time the car drew closer towards him, he ran to another one of the offices this one was elevated, so he climbed the steps before trying ever so desperately to open the door, again it was locked, he started smacking on the door to see if anyone was inside to no anvil, the only this this achieved was getting a dog barking, the man turned to see the car draw level with the junkyard, it stopped the man noticed this and quickly but carefully slid across the wall and down the steps before hiding behind one of the cars, the two men in the car didn't notice him, they then drove forward this prompted the man to then come out of cover from behind the car and start moving until he was at the side of the office where a chain link fence on a small brick wall was, he tried climbing it he couldn't he then pressed himself against the wall as the car reversed itself back towards the gates, then it reversed further and then drove into the junkyard, the man looked up there was only 1 man in the car, he started to move along another car when suddenly the man was stopped by another man his hair was immaculate, nicely combed and black he was wearing a grey suit, with a white shirt and tie the suited man grabbed him at the arms, before ramming him against the car, and then pressing him down against the floor and started to strangle the man who was squirming and trying to get the suited man off, he looked around to try and find any weapon he could possibly use, then he grabbed a chain and started pulling at it, it wouldn't budge from underneath the car it was holding in place, then using his last ounce of strength he pulled the chain, attached to the block free and the car started rolling towards him and the suited man, the latter turned his head to notice the car then without a wince of fear or pain he was then crushed between the 2 cars, his hands let go of the man's neck and he started to push himself from underneath the suited man, he got out then he hid behind one of the cars, he then noticed the other suited man, who was dressed the same to the other suited man with the same style of hair except it was brown exit the car and walk towards him, the man then checked his pockets, then grabbed what was an orange pumpkin mask, he then started to run away from the scene as fast as he could, through the junkyard avoiding everything that would slow him down whilst the second suited man watched on.

An hour later at an old gas station that was 30 years old, a man who was just a bit older was sitting in a chair, he was in his 30's, he was black with a full head of short hair with a bit of chin fuzz, he was eating a bag of chips, the shop section of the gas station was slightly newer than the rest, it had some isles of food and many other things a pyramid of oils cans in the window, the man was in a blue and white striped shirt, with blue jeans he wasn't unhappy about his job he enjoyed it, he was watching TV before he finished his bag of chips he then got up and turned off his TV and went to get another bag of chips, then the door flew open, he went to shut it when he had a metal bin fall over he then looked in that direction and noticed something running towards him in the distance, then the man from earlier came running towards him staggering as he ran

"please you've gotta help me" said the man, before falling over the gas station worker looked at him "oh shit, buddy you okay" asked the gas station worker, then he noticed the strangle marks on his neck, he then went inside and grabbed his car keys "come on I'm getting you to the hospital" said the gas station worker as he locked the door and quickly helped the man into his car before getting in himself and starting it up and driving away, "don't worry you're going to be okay" said the gas station worker as the car sped off towards the hospital, then the second suited man stepped out from behind the gas station before walking towards his car and getting in and starting it up.

At the local hospital situated not too far from kadic academy, Dallas pulled up on his motorcycle he then helped Alexa off the back, before carrying her towards the hospital, Alexa was wearing her hunting gear

"I really am so sorry" said Dallas, as he carried Alexa through the automatic door "I told you it's okay" said Alexa, she had a bolt in her leg, the bolt was from Dallas's Crossbow "ow" said Alexa "Jesus are you okay" asked Dallas as he carried her through to reception "it's not you it's the bolt" said Alexa, Dallas then quickly using his elbow knocked on the desk "hey need a stretcher" said Dallas, then the desk worker returned he was in his 20's was skinny and looked like he didn't want to work there, his hair was a buzz cut "hey yo, need a stretcher" said the desk worker his badge said J.P, a nurse and a Doctor came in the nurse had the stretcher and a clipboard, whilst the Doctor wasn't carrying anything, the nurse was young in her 40's and had black hair the Doctor however was much older and had no hair on the top of his head with all his hair around his head "okay what happened" asked the Doctor, Dallas then placed Alexa on the stretcher "hunting accident" replied Dallas "okay how long ago" asked the Doctor "about half an hour" said Dallas, "okay" said the Doctor, then he and the nurse wheeled the stretcher away "how long until I can see her" asked Dallas "she just needs a stitch in about 30 minutes" said the nurse, Dallas then took his crossbow off his back and sat down at a chair in the reception area, then he stood up and went to the vending machine, and got a can of cola, he then sat back down, he then pulled out his phone to check the time it had just gone midnight so the date was now 27th October "thank fuck Delmas cancelled lessons for the period" said Dallas, then he called Jeremie "hello" replied Jeremie "hey man going to be at the hospital for a while" said Dallas "why's that" asked Jeremie "I accidently shot Alexa in the shin with a crossbow bolt" said Dallas "oh when you going to be back" asked Jeremie "aint got any clue" said Dallas "okay see you later" said Jeremie, who then hung up, then Dallas noticed the gas station worker who walked in and was helping the man into the hospital, Dallas then stood up and gave them a hand "thanks" said the gas station worker, as the desk worker called for a stretcher, as soon as one came through Dallas sat back down, the gas station worker helped him onto the stretcher, another Doctor, who was in his forty's blonde hair and a moustache that was just above his mouth, looked at the man "what happened" he asked the gas station worker "I dunno he just came out of nowhere I swear to god that's all there was to it, I just brought him here" said The gas station worker "you got a room for him" asked the Doctor to a nurse "yes 13" said the nurse "okay we'll take it from here" said the Doctor, "okay I was always taught when someone needs help, you help them unless there's going to be trouble, there's not going to be any trouble is there, I mean you never know when somebody might be needing help" said the gas station worker, then suddenly the man started to speak "he's going to kill us all of us" then he fell unconscious again and a nurse wheeled the man away.

35 minutes later, Dallas was sitting in Alexa's hospital room

"so I've got to stay here just in case of an infection" said Alexa, Dallas was sitting next to her bed "I am so sorry about this" said Dallas, Alexa looked at him and said "it's fine besides it means me and you are alone", then she and Dallas leaned forward and kissed, meanwhile outside the hospital the second suited man parked his car and stepped out, before walking towards the hospital, "so what are you going to do on Halloween" said Alexa, Dallas then started laughing "dunno, remember the school won that completion to go to that mask factory, I'm just going as theirs not much else to do" said Dallas, meanwhile down the hall in room 13, the Doctor and the nurse were examining the Man, who was holding on tightly to the mask "strangle marks" said the Doctor "do you think the man who brought him in did it" asked the nurse "no, why would he do that if he was the one who tried to kill him" said The Doctor, then they started to leave the room "who's next" asked the Doctor "nobody, apart from him it's been a quiet night" said the nurse, then they walked out of the room, and down the hall and towards the Doctors lounge, whilst walking down the hall was the suited man, he quickly stepped into a room and placed some gloves on, he then started walking down the hall, he passed the room where Alexa and Dallas where "you where you going" said the desk worker, there was no reply from the suited man, he then reached room 13, he then opened the door and walked in, he stepped forwards towards the man, he then placed his hand over the man's mouth, the man's eyes shot open as the suited man then curled up his hand and then extended his index and his middle fingers, the man closed his eyes, the suited man then jammed his fingers into the man's eyes killing him, the suited man then grabbed the body, then the nurse walked in "what are you doing in here" asked the nurse then she realised, the suited man started walking down the hall carrying the body he passed the room with Alexa and Dallas and got to the end of the hall, the nurse then screamed at the top of her lungs, hearing this Dallas quickly grabbed his crossbow "I'll be back" he said to Alexa, he rushed out the room "what happened" asked Dallas towards the nurse "down the hall, that man just, the man just" said the nurse, then Dallas with his crossbow in hand started running down the hall "stop" he was shouting, then he saw the suited man "stop or I'll shoot" said Dallas, the suited man carried on walking, Dallas whilst running after him fired a bolt, it struck the suited man in the back, he carried on walking, "what the hell" shouted Dallas as the suited man then walked out of the hospital door and got in his car with the body, also in the car was the body of the other suited man "hey get back here" shouted Dallas then the suited man pulled out a can of petrol and started pouring it over himself "hey don't you" said Dallas, then the suited man sparked his lighter, he caught fire with no pain on his face then as Dallas got closer to the car, the vehicle exploded sending Dallas flying backwards, and destroying another car which also exploded "holy shit" shouted Dallas, he then noticed that several pieces of burning hot metal had struck him in, and there were several burns and cuts on him, he decided not to heal as this would arose suspicion, then he saw on the floor a round disk he recognized that was on the mask that the man was holding, he picked it up burning his hand in the process, "owww" he said, before grabbing a fire hose and started to extinguish the fire, "call 911" shouted Dallas to a man by a payphone, the man did just that as he watched Dallas extinguish the fire, he then heard sirens "thank god" said Dallas as he continued with the fire but it soon started to spread out of control, luckily the fire brigade arrived and started to help with the extinguishing of the blaze.

20 minutes later Dallas sat on a hospital bed a nurse was stitching his cuts up, she had done one on his hand, and was now doing the one on his forehead

"luckily for you your hair will cover this one up" said the nurse as she finished the stitching "yeah thanks" said Dallas, he then stood up "hang on a minute you need something done about those burns" said the nurse, she then grabbed a bottle and started to pour the liquid onto a cloth and wipe it on Dallas's burns "ow" said Dallas, then she bandaged the disinfected burns "thanks" said Dallas who then went and sat down in the lobby with the many bandages on his head and his hands, as many police officers and firemen where in the building after the fire

"You did a good job kid" said a police officer "thanks" said Dallas shaking his hand "ow" said Dallas realising his hand had was burned, "I need to stay longer though okay" said the officer "got it" replied Dallas, who then took a sip of his drink "who do I need to call" asked the officer "kadic junior high" said Dallas, "okay" said the officer, Dallas then stood up and walked down the hall to Alexa's room "Dallas, oh my god are you okay" said Alexa, Dallas then lied down on the bed next to her "ah fuck this hurts" said Dallas, "I'll take that as a no" said Alexa, she then moved over for him "thanks" said Dallas "what happened" asked Alexa "3 people are dead" said Dallas "what" asked Alexa now scared and hugging Dallas "I think 2 off them were murdered" said Dallas, "but we are safe" asked Alexa "yeah the guy who I think did it, he's dead" replied Dallas, then she started kissing him, "hey I'm sore all over" said Dallas then Delmas walked into the room, Dallas stood up "hey sir" said Dallas "I would be mad at you for being out past school curfew" said Delmas, "but" asked Dallas sitting down on the other side of the bed "but according to the firemen out their if it weren't for you the fire could have killed a lot of people" said Delmas "so I'll forget to suspend you" said Delmas, "and miss Mathers here" finished Delmas, "I would shake your hand but" said Dallas, showing Delmas is burned hands "they should heal soon, I hope" said Dallas, then the police chief came in "don't worry CCTV has proven who it was no one is under any suspicion" said the officer "but" asked Dallas "we need to do a check on that crossbow" said the officer, Dallas pulled out his wallet and then a card "my hunting license" said Dallas "okay then" said the officer, Dallas put the card and the wallet away "so now what" asked Alexa "you will return to kadic latter today" said Delmas "and then the students will go on the trip" finished Delmas before leaving the room and shutting the door "come her you" said Alexa, who pulled Dallas onto the bed she then sat on him "what are you doing" asked Dallas "well I think a hero deserves something" said Alexa "don't call me that" said Dallas then he realised "no not now maybe when were older" said Dallas, Alexa seemed disappointed by this "okay" she said then she thought for a moment "doesn't mean we can't do this" said Alexa putting her hand down Dallas's trouser and grabbing his penis and then placing Dallas hand up her hospital gown and on her breast, "boy that escalated quickly" said Dallas, he then lied down on the bed "I need a vacation" said Dallas, then Alexa lied down next to him, "maybe you should take one" said Alexa stroking his chest "I would" said Dallas then he closed his eyes "Jesus It hurts to close my eyes" said Dallas, he then fell asleep, Alexa then curled up next to him "my hero" she said.

Later that day, Dallas and Alexa returned to school, Dallas tried to lay low but was constantly hassled for being a hero; he then reached his room before shutting the door, and removing his bandages, allowing the burns to heal the other Lyoko warriors where sitting in the room waiting for him

"Welcome back hero" said Odd, Dallas then lied down on his own bed "I swear to god call me that again" said Dallas, as he sunk his head into his pillow "what you are" said Ulrich, Yumi then stood up and walked over to him "come on you" said Yumi shaking Dallas, then the round disk fell out of Dallas jacket, "what's that" asked Jeremie, Dallas picked it up "I dunno, I just picked it up" said Dallas as he placed it back in his pocket, "how the materialization program going" asked Ulrich "it's going fine" replied Jeremie, Dallas then stood up and opened the mini fridge and pulled out a weird glass bottle with what appeared to be water in it "what's that" asked Yumi, Dallas didn't reply he just pulled off the lid and poured himself a cup then drank from it "god I needed this anyone else want some" said Dallas "what is it first" said Ulrich, Dallas then poured another cup and then downed it "vodka" he said they all looked at each other "I will" then they all turned to look a Jeremie, Dallas then poured him a cup and passed it to him, Jeremie downed it and then started to gag "I can handle it" said Jeremie, Dallas then poured more cups and passed them round, Dallas then walked over to the computer and started hitting the keys "what are you doing" asked Jeremie, Dallas turned to face him "I need to check for an activated tower" said Dallas, who then turned back towards the computer "why" asked Jeremie, Dallas turned back "because I shot a bolt at someone they didn't even look like they felt it I think XANA could be involved somehow" said Dallas, then Aelita appeared on the screen "hi how are you" she said "hey Aelita" said Dallas "hey hero" said Aelita upon seeing Dallas, who then turned to face Jeremie "really" said Dallas, he then turned back "Aelita are there any pulsations" asked Dallas "no their haven't why" replied Aelita "just wondering" said Dallas, he then stood up allowing Jeremie to sit down, Dallas sat on his bed "what did you see last night" asked Odd "some crazy as hell shit" replied Dallas, "yeah what though" said Ulrich, Dallas then stood up and walked back and forth around the room "3 people dead" said Dallas, he then grabbed the piece of metal, "I grabbed the guy who did the killings seemed pretty keen to try and destroy it" said Dallas , Ulrich then looked at the others "what do you think it is" asked Yumi "oh I know what it is" said Dallas, he then placed it on the side by Jeremie's computer "What" asked Jeremie "it was part of a mask" said Dallas, he then picked it up "why he wanted to destroy… wait a minute" said Dallas as he noticed that he removed some of the ash off of the metal disk "what is it" asked Yumi, Dallas fell down into his bed "come on what is it" asked Ulrich, Dallas then passed it to Jeremie "no way" said Jeremie "what" asked Odd, "it's got XANA's mark on it" said Jeremie "what" asked Odd, Ulrich and Yumi at the same time, "come it has to be a coincidence" said Odd.

An hour later Delmas had called everyone who was going on the trip into the main hall they all sat down, whilst Delmas stood on the stage by a podium, there was around 50 people in the hall

"now as you all know the trip to the Vira mask company, which the school won in a completion is over 2 days so we will be staying in the local hotel overnight so I hope you have packed, because remember the trip is tomorrow" said Delmas, the Lyoko warriors were sitting in the front row, their attention was drawn towards Sissi who held her hand up "what are the room arrangements" asked Sissi, Delmas then pushed his glasses towards his eyes "they will be entirely up to you" said Delmas, Sissi then turned her head towards Ulrich, "but both parties must agree" said Delmas, Dallas waved at her and said silently but just so she could hear him "ba bye", she then turned her heard back towards the front "you can have group rooms or single rooms" said Delmas, the Lyoko warriors then looked at each other, "now if you go to Jim and tell him you're group arrangements we will know how many rooms we need to book" said Delmas, then the students stood up the Lyoko warriors started walking towards Jim, when they were stopped by Sissi, "so Ulrich me and you in a room how does that sound" said Sissi, Ulrich put his hand to his chin "sounds terrible" said Ulrich, "besides he's already in a room with us" said Jeremie, Dallas looked at Jeremie and gave him a nod of approval, "maybe I could room with you guys" said Sissi, Yumi then stepped forward and said "why don't you get your own room", Sissi looked offended "what so you can have Ulrich to yourself" said Sissi "hey were in the room as well" said Odd, Sissi looked at them then she turned her head towards Dallas "what about him, is he going to be with you or that slut he calls his girlfriend" said Sissi, for the 2nd time she had gotten to Dallas, the latter then looked at Sissi "I don't remember me and you being in a relationship" said Dallas, Sissi then got angry, Adam then stepped forward and said "why don't we take this outside", Dallas then looked at him "what you want the world to see you blooded up face" said Dallas, Adam then stepped back, Dallas didn't say anything, Sissi and her group then left "speaking of which what are you doing Dallas" asked Jeremie, "yeah who you staying with for the trip" asked Ulrich, "I'll be back" said Dallas, who then walked off to find Alexa "what do you think he'll do" asked Yumi "well we can't exactly tie him down can we" said Ulrich, they all thought for a second "he has his own life to live" said Yumi, meanwhile Dallas walked over to Alexa "hey" she said, Dallas then sat down next to her "you feeling okay" Asked Dallas "yeah I can walk on my leg you know" said Alexa, "is Mollie not going on the trip" asked Dallas "no she's going to her parents for the holidays" replied Alexa, Dallas then thought for a moment "about the trip, do you wanna share a room, or what do you wanna do" asked Dallas, he then thought to himself you fucking idiot "Dallas I understand if you wanna be with your friends, just visit me during the night" said Alexa ending the convocation with a kiss on Dallas cheek, he then stood up and walked back to his friends "well what are you doing" asked Jeremie "I'm bunking with you guys" said Dallas, they then walked to Jim so they could get their room.

Later that day Dallas went to the local cemetery he had been asked their by the local police, to attend the funeral of the man who had been killed in the hospital, whilst Jeremie had told Dallas he'd pack for him, Aelita was on the computer

"will you be taking your laptop" asked Aelita, Jeremie placed his spare change of clothes in his suitcase "yeah of course so I can speak to you" said Jeremie, this cause Aelita to blush slightly, then Jeremie finished packing his own bag turned his attention to Dallas's duffel bag, he then grabbed Dallas's wallet and slipped something in to it "don't worry I will still be able to work on the materialization program" said Jeremie, who then placed Dallas's jacket into his bag, Jeremie had taken the liberty of folding it, he then closed the suitcase and sat down by his computer "well we leave tomorrow Aelita so I have some time now to work on the materialization program" said Jeremie "what can I do to help" asked Aelita.

In Ulrich and Odd's room they were both packing as well, Ulrich being the sensible one was packing clothes and hygienic stuff, whilst Odd wasn't

"is that all you're taking" asked Ulrich looking over his shoulder to see Odd was taking a spare change of clothes and some food "what I need space for Kiwi" replied Odd, Ulrich then proceeded to face palm himself "besides how are you going to last" asked Odd, Ulrich then stopped packing and turned around "what do you mean" asked Ulrich, Odd then stopped packing himself and turned around "being in the same room as Yumi for 2 days" said Odd, Ulrich then curled his fist, Odd stopped for a second Ulrich then threw a punch Odd then blocked it "it was a joke dude" said Odd, Ulrich then lowered his hand.

At Yumi's house she was packing her bag, she had just about persuaded her parents to let her go on the trip

"Yumi remember to be careful" said Yumi's dad, Yumi turned around "for the hundredth time I will" said Yumi who then returned to packing her bag, then she heard a knocking on her door it was her mum "yes" said Yumi "here for your trip don't tell you're farther" said Yumi's mum handing her an envelope with some money in it "thanks mum" said Yumi giving her a hug.

At the graveyard the service had just finished, the many police officers were dressed smartly with the medals pinned to their suits, Dallas was dressed in a suit, and he stood their then he felt a hand on his back

"Hey sorry about having to call you here" said the police chief, the police chief was in his 50's with grey hair but a young face "it's okay" said Dallas, he then turned to the police chief "hey I'll be back in a second I've got to do something" said Dallas, "sure" replied the chief, Dallas then walked across the graveyard and looked at a tombstone, he then grabbed some flowers from a bush and threw them on the grave "I can't join you soon or at all I'm sorry" said Dallas, looking at the tombstone that read his dads name, he then turned back and walked towards the funeral, he was about to leave when he was called back "hey you're 14 aren't you" asked the Police chief "yeah why" replied Dallas, the police chief looked at him and said "we never thanked you properly for the fire and considering some of your wounds I think we owe you" said the chief, Dallas then looked at him "and what's that" said Dallas "well a beer I suppose, were all going there in the memory of the poor man who lost his life" said the chief "far enough" said Dallas.

In the bar the police officers were sitting at various tables, whilst Dallas sat in a booth by himself, he hadn't touched his drink, he was thinking what the man was doing with a mask that had the XANA logo on it

"Excuse me" said a voice; Dallas looked up to see a woman with red hair, white skin dressed in blue jeans and a brown jumper she was about 15, "yeah" replied Dallas, "I saw you at the funeral, thank you for being there" said the girl, Dallas then looked at her "not to be rude but who are you" asked Dallas, the girl then sat down and said "I'm Kelly, Kelly Walsh, the man who was killed was my farther", Dallas then looked up "I'm so sorry about what happened" said Dallas, the girl looked at him "you know" said Kelly starting to flirt with him "hey I'm in a relationship" said Dallas, Kelly then looked disappointed "okay but did my farther say anything to you the night he died" asked Kelly, "Yeah, he uh said tell Kelly I love her" said Dallas, Kelly then stood up "well you're a bad liar but thanks anyway" said Kelly "sorry I didn't hear if said anything" said Dallas, he then downed his full pint glass, he then stood up and left the bar, he shut the door and got on his bike before starting it and hitting the kick stand and he then set off for the return to kadic.

The next day everyone who was going on the trip was outside the school the coach had arrived and Jim was loading the luggage onto it, among those going on the trip where the Lyoko warriors, Sissi's group Millie and Tamiya, Mike, Naomi and numerous others, Dallas was wearing his white shirt with his wings over the front with the vest buttoned up at the front, the others were in their usual attire, Dallas had given Odd something to make Kiwi fall asleep for the trip

"are you sure it's going to work" asked Odd, Dallas then laughed "of course it's going to work I mean look at Adam" said Dallas pointing to Adam who was unconscious on the floor, then they started to board the coach, the Lyoko warriors managed to grab the back seats, Dallas then placed his crossbow on one of the seats

"What are you doing" asked Yumi, "I'm going on my bike just in case" said Dallas, "so why you leaving you're crossbow on the coach" asked Ulrich "you'll see" said Dallas, who then made his way to the front of the coach "what did he…" started Ulrich then he saw Sissi walked towards them "oh" finished Ulrich "oh Ulrich how sweat you saved me a spot" said Sissi, "I'm sorry it's taken" said Odd, "yeah just move the crossbow" said Sissi, Odd then looked at Jeremie who then nodded, Odd then sat next to Ulrich and Jeremie put his legs out whilst sitting in the corner "sorry bitch" said Jeremie, Sissi then went and sat down somewhere else, Dallas watched from outside the coach, he then turned on the engine and then hit the kick stand and set off following the coach "hey shouldn't he be wearing a helmet" said Jim, looking out of the window.

The coach trip was a long one, the coach and Dallas stopped at a coach stop, for refuelling the students this was an opportunity to buy some stuff if they wished, Dallas had refuelled his bike, he then walked over towards his friends

"So you did bring your laptop" said Yumi, "yeah" said Jeremie "considering what we've heard what Dallas has said, we ain't going to be able sleep" said Ulrich, Yumi then bought some water, Dallas however using a fake id bought something else "what's that" asked Odd "I'll explain later" said Dallas, meanwhile watching from afar was Sissi's group, "isn't it disgusting" said Sissi, Nicholas and Herb then looked at each other confused "err what is disgusting" asked Herb "Ulrich with Yumi, he should be mine" said Sissi, she was angry Adam then walked outside, towards Dallas bike he then kneeled down towards the gas tank and opened it letting the gas pour out "try and get their now" said Adam starting to laugh, then he was turned around and punched by Dallas, he was knocked onto the floor, Dallas then reached down and grabbed Adam's wallet "I should burn you alive" said Dallas, "but I'm above that" said Dallas, he then refilled his bike using Adam's money, "fuck you" said Adam angrily getting up and holding his nose "no fuck you" said Dallas more calmly, he then watched as Adam walked back inside, but before Dallas could follow him inside he recognised someone walk outside "Dallas is that you" said a voice, Dallas recognized it "ah fuck" said Dallas, he then turned to see Kelly "hey" she said, "hey what do you want" asked Dallas "what I can't say hi" asked Kelly "yeah you can but I can't stay I'm off soon" said Dallas, who then walked inside.

The coach left 20 minutes later Dallas was on his bike again, the two vehicles then carried on the journey for several hours, until Jim noticed the sign of the town they were staying at it was the same as the factory Vira

"Turn right here" said Jim "then just go straight for 10 miles" added Jim, the coach driver did this and Dallas noticed the coach turn in so he followed, but as he got closer he became suspicious of the area "I wonder why the factory was put out here in the middle of nowhere" asked Odd, "wouldn't know listen to this, Vira found 1806, originally a mining town recently a wealthy Englishman David Agnew purchased the area and created a mask company Vira Masks, the whole community is English" said Jeremie reading off his laptop "English Dallas will feel at home" said Odd, "what" asked Yumi, Ulrich then looked at her and said "he's part Australian remember", Dallas pulled ahead on his motor cycle and headed straight towards the hotel, he was about to turn into the hotel parking lot, when he noticed 2 men in suits very similar to the ones from the hospital, driving a similar vehicle to the one that was also at the hospital, as he turned into the parking lot he sped up and went out the exit to follow them, the car passed many shops with the words Vira in the title at some point, the car then slowed down, Dallas also slowed down passing many more people who looked similar, and then he passed more shops where the people looked different from one another but where all staring at Dallas as he drove past "feel like a gold fish" said Dallas, then he stopped when he realised where the car was going, Dallas's eyes widen as the factory bore the Eye of XANA "I don't like the look of this" said Dallas, he then turned his bike back and headed towards the hotel where the coach had finally arrived.

"All right I will dismiss you row by row" said Jim at the front standing up and the front of the coach, he then began to do just that "what's with Dallas he seems unnerved" said Yumi, "you know you care for him like a mother you know that" said Ulrich, as they were let of the coach, the coach driver then flicked a switch and the side of the coach opened so they could grab their luggage "Dallas what is it" asked Jeremie, Dallas gave no reply as he grabbed his bag, the others collected their bags they were about to walk to their rooms when a man in a red jumper and light brown trousers stopped them, his name tag read George "listen everyone there are some rules to the hotel" said George "I will expect everyone to be quiet for the other guests in the hotel" said George then he stopped "oh look it's Mr Agnew" said George before waving to a passing car that drove slowly past the hotel then the Lyoko warriors walked up to their room the key was in the lock so they opened the room, it was on the second floor, the hotel was state of the art so it wasn't a room it was more of an apartment there were 5 rooms each with a double bed, and a TV whilst there was a living room with a small kitchen next to it "holy shit" said Ulrich, then Odd shut the door "this place is a fucking Zoo" said Dallas, they all looked at him "what" asked Jeremie, "the Vira factory it's the factory with the XANA logo" said Dallas "it has to be a coincidence" said Ulrich "I know" said Dallas as he went to his room, "hey the tours tomorrow" said Jeremie "well check it out then" said Yumi, "fine" said Dallas as he opened his suit case and grabbed his leather and hung it on the wardrobe, and unbuttoned his wings vest but left it on and went and section of the hotel suite, he then opened his bag of things he had bought at the coach stop, he pulled out an 8 pack of beer, "you brought that" said Ulrich, "no reason not to" said Dallas.

Later that night the Lyoko warriors were sitting in the living room, Dallas and Jeremie managed to rig the TV to display what was on Jeremie's computer screen, so now Aelita was clearer to see

"Hey there" said Aelita "hi Aelita" said Yumi, Dallas stood up and grabbed his jacket and 2 of the remaining beers "I'm going for a walk" said Dallas, he then grabbed his wallet to make it seem he was going for a walk, he then opened the door and shut it, "I'm most likely going to be up all night working on the materialization program" said Jeremie, the others then looked at each other "we'll leave you in peace then" said Yumi.

Alright I suppose this is where I should give a warning what follows gives this story it M rating so mature content

Outside Dallas walked down the hall towards another room it happened to be Alexa's he knocked on the door

"come in" said Alexa, Dallas then opened the door then closed it "hey you" said Dallas as he walked over to Alexa, since her room was a single it was smaller than the others there was only one bedroom, but it still had a kitchen and a living room "nice room" said Dallas, Alexa then gave him a kiss, Dallas then started to snog her "hey you said I should visit" said Dallas, "so" replied Alexa, who then pushed him into her bedroom and onto the bed "hey I said when where older" said Dallas "oh yeah" said Alexa, Dallas then pushed her down onto the bed "but we are older" said Dallas, who then started kissing Alexa again, as she undid his belt Dallas started to remove her shirt, having finished with his belt removed his wings and jacket, then his shirt, he did the same with her revealing her teenage boobs being pressed down by her blue bra "my they have grown" said Dallas, they were now at 36d he removed her bra as he kicked off his shoes and as she removed his trousers leaving him in his pants, she then removed her trousers leaving her in a thong, Dallas then noticed something in his wallet, he pulled it out "very funny Jeremie" he said as he held a condom, Alexa then got on her knees and pulled down his boxers she gasped at his size it was 8 inches, she then got to work taking his throbbing cock into her mouth he fell back onto the bed, using one of her hands she caressed his balls, Dallas groaned as Alexa began to deep throat him even further, causing her to gag, she then started to bob her head up and down on Dallas's cock, causing him to moan, then he orgasmed releasing a load of sperm down Alexa's throat, she then removed her mouth from his cock and proceeded to grab the condom she then opened the packet, before placing it on Dallas cock "you know this will hurt" said Dallas , she then crawled up towards his face and whispered in his ear "I know, I just want to impale myself on it", she then pushed Dallas further until he was on the bed, Alexa then began to lower herself until the tip of Dallas cock was in her soaking pussy, Dallas then thrust upwards fully entering, she screamed with pain as she felt her hymen break "don't worry" she said then she started to bounce up and down on Dallas cock whilst moaning "yes, yes, yes give it to me" she said Dallas then leaned forward placing his mouth around one of her nipples whilst caressing the other with his hand, "harder" she said, then Dallas started to thrust in and out of her to meet with her bounces, then she orgasmed onto Dallas and him the same but into the condom she then fell forward, "that was good" she said before grabbing her bed covers and covering herself and Dallas up, she then pressed herself up against Dallas whilst he placed his arm around her.

An hour later Dallas got out of bed to get a drink, when he noticed something outside the window, George the man from earlier was running away from the hotel, he was blooded up and his face was cut, Dallas then turned around to see if Alexa was still asleep, she was so he turned back and looked out the window and used eagle sight everything shone red he quickly turned it off again

"That aint right" said Dallas then he got dressed and kissed Alexa on the forehead; he then moved to the door and tried opening it, he then inserted the key and tried to unlock it, it remained locked, he then walked to a window and climbed out of it, he then grabbed onto the window ledge and started to move along "what are you doing their" asked a voice, Dallas stopped moving and looked down to see Kelly "cleaning windows" he replied, he then let go off the window he was on with one hand so he was now hanging "are you following me" asked Dallas, Kelly looked up "no" she said "I came here because this is where the masks are made and my farther had one when he was killed" continued Kelly "so I thought they might know something" finished Kelly "have fun with that" said Dallas, grabbing the window ledge again and moving along them until he reached his own room, he then opened the window before slipping in, then the others turned to him "that was a long walk" said Ulrich "yeah I like to keep fit hence the window" said Dallas, "well I'm going to bed come on Kiwi" said Odd, who then walked to his room, Ulrich then stretched his arms and yawned "ditto" he said before walking to his room, Jeremie was still sitting in the living room working on the materialization program, Yumi looked at Jeremie before going to the fridge and grabbing a drink "I'm off to" said Yumi, she then went to her room "oh Jeremie that reminds me I brought you something" said Dallas, Jeremie turned to look at him "what's that" asked Jeremie then Dallas threw his used condom in Jeremie's face, the latter then removed it before looking disgusted at Dallas "ha, ha" said Jeremie, "so you actually" asked Jeremie "between me and you yeah" said Dallas, Aelita was on the screen "what did he do" asked Aelita "you haven't given her the talk have you Jeremie" asked Dallas towards Jeremie "no" replied Jeremie "I think it's best if you ask Yumi" said Jeremie towards Aelita, Jeremie then carried on with the code, meanwhile in Ulrich's room, he was wide awake staring at the celling, he couldn't stop thinking about what Odd had said the day before, whilst in Yumi's room she was asleep, and in Odd's room he was asleep with Kiwi curled up on his bed, "Aelita are you sure there is no activated tower" said Dallas "yeah I'm sure but I can have a look" said Aelita, he window then closed and she set off whilst in the mountain sector, she started to follow a narrow path that lead from the way tower "hey Jeremie I suggest you get some sleep" said Dallas, Jeremie took no notice, Dallas then grabbed Jeremie "come on you need some sleep" said Dallas before carrying Jeremie to his room "hey" shouted Jeremie, "get some sleep" said Dallas, shutting Jeremie's door before heading to his own room and then going to sleep.

On Lyoko Aelita had just finished looking around the mountain sector, none of the towers were used in that sector she then entered the way tower and jumped down into the black void before arriving in another way tower, she exited to find herself in the desert sector

"Can't see any activated towers" said Aelita she then started walking along to look at the rest of the towers in the sector, then she was hit by a blast which knocked her over, she looked up to see two crabs advancing on her, they shooting rapidly, she quickly got on her knees and started to sing then the floor below her began to rise and then arose towards the sky the crabs tried climbing the stone pillar that had arose but couldn't, as it was to smooth Aelita then looked down and laughed.

The next day the Lyoko warriors still in their PJs where sitting at a table eating breakfast, Yumi cooked them bacon, Odd scoffed his down, whilst the others just ate theirs, Dallas stood up to get dressed

"You're not taking you're crossbow are you" asked Jeremie "yeah" replied Dallas slinging it across his shoulder "oh no you not" said Yumi, raising her hand then Dallas's crossbow flew off his shoulder, he turned to look back at his crossbow, the others then got dressed and then joined Jim outside, he was taking a register to make sure everyone was ready for the trip, Dallas noticed George, his face didn't even have the slightest mark on him, "Marshall" said Jim "yeah" replied Dallas, "okay that's everyone, now it's a slight walk towards the factory" said Jim "nonsense" said a voice, Jim then turned around to see a man in a black suit with a white tie, his hair was brown, with a slight bit of grey hairs and sideburns that would allow you to stand out anywhere , his left eye was green whilst the other blue "there is a Coach to take you to the factory" said the man "and who are you" asked Jim becoming more serious than he had already been then the man extended his arm "Mr Agnew" Jim then noticed and shook his hand "so sorry" said Jim now a little scared about his blunder "it's fine" said Agnew, he then pulled out a phone and flipped up the top part "yes where ready" said Agnew, then a coach came round the corner it was blue with the hub caps on the wheels all bearing XANA's eye, the door opened and agnew stepped onto the coach then he stopped an turned around "Please note there are some other people on the factory visit" said agnew then he sat down, the Lyoko warriors stepped onto the coach and sat at the back, Adam then walked towards them "move" he said "give me a reason" said Dallas not even looking at him, Adam didn't have anything further to say so he then moved back stropping, back to another seat, the coach then started moving away from the hotel "some weird as hell shit is going on" said Dallas, the others then turned and looked him "like what" asked Odd, "first of all George, the guy who works at the hotel, I saw him run away from the hotel last night his face was cut up to hell, and today no cut on him" said Dallas, "are you sure you weren't drunk" said Yumi "hey due to my healing factor, it takes a lot to get me drunk" said Dallas, "what else" asked Jeremie looking at Dallas, "when I saw that last night I used eagle sight everything went red" said Dallas, "perhaps it's on the blink" said Ulrich, Jeremie then butted in "no once we've gained the powers, they became moulded to are DNA, so to speak" said Jeremie, "so what does that mean" asked Yumi "Haven't a clue" said Dallas, the coach then entered through a giant gate that lead towards the factory, Dallas looked out the window, the guards were similar if not identical from the suited men, except they were carrying shotguns "Jesus" said Dallas, looking at the suited men, "what" asked Jeremie "I don't know but I have a bad feeling" said Dallas, the coach then stopped and everyone started getting off, Agnew then stopped everyone "even when so close to the holiday everyone is hard at work" said Agnew smelling the air, "now if you will follow me" said Agnew, the crowd followed Agnew whilst the Lyoko warriors where starting to doubt Dallas mental health, as he was looking around everywhere, they then entered through a door.

The door lead to a fairly big room which was a reception area, with 10 desks with women at each and every one of them, they were typing on the computers situated on each desk one of the walls was a giant glass window which looked out of the town, another was a giant display case with 3 masks, 1 per line which then went across the wall a white skeleton which was missing a tooth and had many cracks on it, a green which complete with a hood and a pumpkin which bore a resemblance to the one the man who was killed at the hospital and at the centre of the display case was a very egoistic picture of Agnew as carrying "this is the reception area where are orders are taken, albeit not the most interesting part of the factory, but that comes latter" said Agnew, the women who were working at the desk where emotionless almost like robots and where typing at a constant rate each one at the same speed as the other "now if you will follow me" said Agnew leading the group towards the door at the adjacent end of the room, he opened the door which lead to a staircase, everyone went down where another group of people were waiting, the group was off tourists, Dallas noticed someone immediately it was Kelly, he then quickly blended into the group, so he wouldn't be noticed, "I hope you don't mind but among being a mask maker I have my own collection of novelties" said Agnew then the group, split off and started to look around the room, Dallas was much more preoccupied with the numerous suited men that where in the room "Uh Mr Agnew, what's with all the security" asked Dallas, Agnew turned around from standing at a glass cabinet describing some of the items inside to the younger ones "there are many trade secrets in the factory, and you never know" said Agnew starting to laugh, he then returned to what he was doing "Dallas I'm going to run a test on you when we get back, me and the others are starting to worry about you're health" said Jeremie, Dallas turned back he wanted to argue but he knew he couldn't "okay" he said, then one of the suited men opened the door at the end of the room "If you will be kind enough to follow me" said Agnew.

Agnew led them into the factory, their where several men pouring a liquid into the moulds used to create the masks, they were dressed in blue jumpsuits with a white apron on the front of them, their where other people pulling out the colourless masks out of the moulds

"ah this is where the magic happens" said Agnew extending his arms outwards, some of the younger members of the crowd where amazed by the room "go on look around but try not to disturb the workers" said Agnew, then all the younger students ran off "better do as he says" said Jim, he then turned to Agnew "I'm so sorry about them" he said, Agnew simply laughed "nothing brings joy to my heart like seeing young kids that are enjoying themselves" said Agnew, Jim then turned back, then ran off himself when he himself became excited by this, the Lyoko warriors started to walk down the small steps that lead towards the factory floor "I know you're goanna call me mad, but I can see what you mean Dallas" said Yumi, "what" he asked inspecting one of the empty moulds "the amount of security if they are trade secrets why are they allowing cameras in here" said Yumi, Ulrich then looked up and saw, their where numerous walkways with suited men all armed looking down "they look like shoot first ask questions later type of guys" said Ulrich, the guards just moved forwards and backwards along the cat walks, Dallas inspected the moulds, whilst many of the workers placed uncoloured versions onto mobile shelves, which were then pushed away, "…latex is heated and poured after that is cooled and poured off, then it's all a matter of trimming painting and packaging" said Agnew pointing at the various stages of the masks, Jeremie looked closely as the crowd went through each off the work stations, "isn't it strange security is dressed in those suits" said Yumi, Odd and Ulrich then looked up "yeah a little strange" said Odd, "maybe Dallas isn't going crazy" said Ulrich.

On Lyoko atop of the stone pillar Aelita realised she was in a jam as she couldn't create any more landmass without draining her life points, she looked down again, then the crabs started shooting upwards at her, they missed, then they decided to start shooting at the stone pillar, causing it to shake as the base was shot apart, then the inevitable happened the pillar collapsed and Aelita was knocked to the ground, luckily the two crabs where crushed by the pillar, but unluckily the pillar was now on her leg

"Jeremie" she said hoping to get an answer, there wasn't one she quickly sang and created an area around the pillar and herself to make it look like it had always been there and there wasn't a fallen pillar there, she had left a small area for her to be safe in.

Meanwhile at the factory the crowd entered the next section of the factory,

"Are we all together" asked Agnew cheerfully, as they entered a room where there were numerous completed masks on shelves being attended by many workers, the younger members of the crowd ran towards some of the masks

"Oh can we have masks" asked Millie, Agnew then walked over "but of course, just what I had in mind for you" he said, then Millie grabbed one of the masks, Agnew then stopped her "oh no, no, no look over hear, those mask's haven't been through final processing" said Agnew, as he walked over to 3 boxes and opened them, each of the boxes contained one type of each mask "these ones are" said Agnew, then the crowd started grabbing mask's even Odd being childish in nature grabbed a skull one "Jesus Odd act you're age" said Dallas "ah a fellow brit" said Agnew noticing Dallas accent "yeah decedent I'm afraid, but what is final processing" said Dallas, "oh it's just a little bit of this and a little bit of that, quality inspection seal of approval that sort of thing" said Agnew, Jeremie then looked at a mask that hadn't been through final processing it lacked the badge that had XANA's logo on it "where did you come up with the idea for the logo" asked Jeremie, Agnew turned around from giving out masks "oh I saw it in one of my dreams" said Agnew, he then returned to giving out masks, Dallas then used eagle sight, everything except most of the crowd went red "the fuck is going on" said Dallas to himself, he then went to look at the pumpkin mask "here you go" said Agnew, handing Dallas one "thanks my other one caught fire" said Dallas, taking the mask "boo" said a voice making Dallas jump "Jesus" he said turning around to see Alexa remove her witch mask "sorry" she said kissing him on the cheek "is this the person you're in a relationship with" asked another familiar voice, Dallas knew who it was and held is head in his hand "Jesus" he said, he turned to see Kelly "whose this" asked Alexa, "this is Kelly she was at the funeral I attended" said Dallas, trying not to get caught in a conversation, whilst his friends watched from a distance "what's the betting, it's his ex" said Ulrich, the others then looked at him "what" asked Yumi Ulrich then tuned his head to look at her "never mind" he said as Dallas walked back over "god this day is going terrible" said Dallas, then Sissi and her group walked over "Ulrich dear" she said, Ulrich looked at her "what do you want" said Ulrich, Sissi took no notice of the sarcasm in his voice "well I was wondering are you doing anything tonight" asked Sissi "no I wasn't but now I have to find something to do" said Ulrich, the Lyoko warriors then laughed at her "you think you're real funny don't you" said Adam, Odd then looked at him "you know there's a difference between thinking and knowing and you got them mixed up" said Odd, Adam then went to punch Odd, his hand was stopped by Yumi, he then went to throw a punch with his other hand, this one was grabbed by Ulrich, "try and head-butt and he will stop you" said Ulrich referring to Dallas, Adam then removed his hands and backed off "see you nothing" surprisingly this comment came from Jeremie, "and what do you know" asked Herb finally getting something out "more than you do" replied Jeremie, Herb let alone everyone else was surprised by Jeremie's reply, the Lyoko decided not to carry one with this argument so they decided to move on "if anyone needs some refreshments they are being served now" said Agnew as suited men brought in trolleys with drinks and food on them.

Back on Lyoko Aelita was still trapped she then had an idea she then got ready to communicate

"Jeremie can you hear me" she said, whilst on earth Jeremie started to get headaches, he placed his hand to his head "you okay" asked Yumi, Jeremie then looked at her "yeah I'm fine" said Jeremie but upon completing that sentence he collapsed "Jeremie" said Dallas, who then rushed down and placed his head to Jeremie's chest, he heard a heartbeat "thank god" said Dallas, "my god is he okay" asked Agnew, Dallas stood up grabbing Jeremie and placing his arm over his own shoulder "Yeah I'll take him back to the hotel were staying at" said Dallas "we'll come with you" said Yumi, "no you guys stay here, I don't think anyone else's day should be ruined" said Dallas, he then started walking towards the door "a little help" he said, then one of the suited men opened the door, Dallas looked at him there was no change in his expression, he then carried on carrying Jeremie towards the factory gate, as he walked down the driveway he noticed more suited men, they were standing still with the arms at their sides, whilst many patrolled the roofs with what appeared to be snipers, he then reached the gate "hey could you open up" shouted Dallas, he then went to the door of the security booth he banged on the window "hello could you open up" he asked, it was another suited man, he looked at Dallas before turning back and flicking a switch the gates then opened "Thanks" said Dallas as he then picked up Jeremie in both arms, and started walking towards the hotel.

Back on Lyoko Aelita tried desperately to reach Jeremie, she then tried again

"Come on Jeremie I need you" said Aelita, then in the real-world Jeremie's body spasmed "wow calm done man" said Dallas, who then opened the door of the hotel room and carried Jeremie in, before placing him on a bed Dallas then placed his hand on Jeremie's forehead "here's hoping" said Dallas, he activated eagle sense causing his head to jerk upwards and his eye to turn entirely white, whilst this was the physical appearance of Dallas he could see Aelita "Aelita Jesus are you okay" said Dallas, Aelita was shocked at seeing Dallas "how are you talking I'm contacting Jeremie through his head" said Aelita, "long story, but he's unconscious, can you get out of their" replied Dallas, Aelita tried pulling her leg she turned to face Dallas and said "no I can't", Dallas thought for a moment "does XANA know where you are" asked Dallas "no he doesn't" replied Aelita, "okay we'll be back tomorrow, I promise we'll get you out" said Dallas, then suddenly he felt some pain then Jeremie appeared "Dallas how are hear" asked Jeremie "long story" said Dallas then he disappeared, Dallas eyes turned back to normal he then looked around and stood up, then he heard a noise he extended his blade and moved to the door frame, he then whistled, there was a whistle back he then peeked round the corner, it was the others "Jesus next time say where back or something" said Dallas retracting his blade, "sorry" said Yumi they then went into the living room "how was the rest of the tour" asked Dallas, "boring" said Odd, Ulrich grabbed a drink form the fridge "although we can see what you were on about" said Ulrich, "not you too" said Yumi looking at him "what I can't help but believe him" said Ulrich sitting down next to Dallas "besides what was wrong with Einstein" asked Odd "Aelita trying to contact him she's trapped on Lyoko" said Dallas less calm tone then he had already been speaking in, Yumi looked at him "what we need to help her" said Yumi, "she's safe we'll get her tomorrow" said Dallas, then Jeremie stumbled into the living his hand on his forehead "you okay" asked Odd, Jeremie sat down and said "yeah it's just, it hurts when that happens" Dallas stood up and grabbed a cold drink for Jeremie "clear you're head" said Dallas handing it to him "thanks and don't do that again" said Jeremie, Dallas sat down again and asked "what's that", Jeremie drank his drink "enter my head" replied Jeremie "well you were I'll I had to try something" said Dallas, they heard a knocking on the door, Dallas left his weapons and went to answer it, he opened the door "a yes this is where that boy what was his name Jeremie is staying isn't he" said Agnew upon the door opening "Yeah" replied Dallas, who then turned back to face the living room "Jeremie, visitor" said Dallas before walking back into the living room, Jeremie stood up and passed him "yes" asked Jeremie at the front door "ah Jeremie feeling better I hope" asked Agnew "yeah don't know what it was" replied Jeremie "good I do hope it wasn't anything in the factory" said Agnew, before he abruptly left, Jeremie looked out the door as Agnew returned to his car which then departed "something strange about that man" said Odd, the other looked at him "like what" asked Ulrich, Odd turned to face him "he seems to nice" said Odd "what do you mean" asked Yumi "well the masks are just to detailed give away for free and he gave away box loads" said Odd, "so, right now were all suspicious of that guy and the factory" said Dallas, the others looked at each other, then they looked at him "Dallas, it's just you're seeing this differently from us" said Ulrich, "you still think I'm crazy don't you" said Dallas, "to be honest yes" said Ulrich, "real smooth" said Yumi, Ulrich then turned towards Yumi "what" he asked, "okay listen Dallas sleep on it if you still feel like this we'll look into it" said Yumi trying to bring his hopes up, "alright I'll go get some dinner, who wants what" asked Dallas, "just get a pizza" said Ulrich, Dallas nodded he then grabbed his keys "heads up" said Yumi passing him some money, Dallas nodded before walking towards the door he opened it and then stepped out before walking down the stairs towards the parking lot, he then got on his bike and started the engine, he revved the engine before driving out of the parking lot taking a right turn upon leaving he proceeded down the road, before slowing down to look at the shops to see if he could find a pizzeria, he carried on down some of the roads until he found one, he stopped and got off his bike, before walking in.

There was only a few people working in the restaurant, an old man with a flat cap and brown jumper with cream trousers with a figure of a grandpa, the other was a younger teenager with a mow hawk with thinner hair either side

"How may I help you young sir" said the old man "yeah can I get a large cheese pizza to go" replied Dallas, the old man stood up "of course martin 1 large cheese pizza to go" said the old man, the younger boy stood up and entered the kitchen, whilst back at the hotel Yumi was thinking "what if Dallas is right" said Ulrich, Yumi turned to face him "come on he must be going mad" said Odd, "yeah but what of he's not" said Ulrich, who was wondering around the apartment, there was a knocking at the door Ulrich went to answer it, he opened the door, and standing there was Sissi "Ulrich dear" said Sissi, Ulrich then shut the door, she opened it again "don't you get it a shut door means fuck off" said Ulrich, shutting it again, only for Sissi to open it again "how could you say no to a girl like me" said Sissi "simple I just say it" said Ulrich, then they heard a loud roar of Dallas motorcycle, he stepped off carrying the pizza "hey Ulrich get them plates" said Dallas climbing the stairs, he reached the top "hey Sissi I would ask you to come in but I don't want to" said Dallas as he handed Ulrich the pizza, he nodded to him Ulrich then carried it inside, Dallas then shut the door, and locked it Sissi tried to open it again "remind me to but a bolt through her knee cap" said Dallas, then they all sat down and started to eat the pizza.

Later that night as the Lyoko warriors slept Dallas sat at the end of his bed wearing only his pyjama bottoms and a white vest, he was thinking to himself, when he grabbed the badge from the first mask, he then looked at it

"Why is it so thick" asked Dallas to himself he then began to feel it, plastic but was too heavy for that, he then placed it on the bedside table, then he smashed his elbow into it, breaking the plastic and leaving a piece Dallas's elbow, he pulled it allowing the cut to heal itself before the skin reattached itself not leaving any mark, he then looked at the remains removing all of the plastic, until he found something other than plastic, it was a small metal plate, with circuitry on it, many wires of different colours extended from one side to the other, "that ain't right" said Dallas he then extended his blade forward, he had changed the sleeve for some straps so it was easier to put on, he then flicked the blade into his hand, and then began to scratch the circuitry with the blade, then he felt it get stuck in something, then he suddenly felt a blast of pain, he fell back onto the bed as a blue beam shot from the circuitry into Dallas face, the whites of his eyes turned a dark red whilst his pupils turned from blue to black his mouth began to crack open as if something was trying to push through, his face began to become dehydrated and dirty then Dallas's face began fighting back against this and reconstruct itself, the beam carried on but then stopped causing the circuitry to explode, Dallas's finished reconstructing, but the small explosion awoke the other warriors, Jeremie was the first into the room, "Dallas, are you okay" asked Jeremie as he knelt down and took his pulse, only to find their wasn't one, Odd and Ulrich where next at the door "what happened" asked Ulrich, Jeremie turned back to face them "I don't know, we'll have to ask him" said Jeremie, Yumi arrived at the door, she was wearing black shorts and a white vest "what's going on…, oh my god is Dallas okay" asked Yumi, Dallas continued to lay still half on the bed and half off it "I dunno he's dead, for some reason" said Jeremie, he then felt Dallas neck, there was still no pulse "do you mind" asked Dallas who had just come back suddenly "what happened" asked Jeremie, "I dunno, I can't remember which is weird" said Dallas, they all looked at each other "what it's like dying I mean" asked Yumi, then they looked at her "you don't want to know" said Dallas standing up, he then grabbed his stomach, "you okay" asked Ulrich, Dallas then walked forward "yeah" he replied "but seriously tell us" said Yumi, Dallas looked at her "there was a light, a tiny speck of light and I was running towards it, like down a corridor, and it got brighter, and brighter, then suddenly there were these gates… these big, pearly gates and there was this old geezer and he said, 'You've been a very naughty boy!'" said Dallas who then started laughing "sorry I can't carry on with that with a straight face" said Dallas, Jeremie held his head in his hand "you're an idiot" said Odd, they then left the room, Dallas looked around confused about what had happened he then looked at the smashed plastic on the floor and the bedside table, he looked at it, remembering it was from the mask logo, he then lied down on his bed trying to remember what had happened, he then felt a pain in his stomach, but decided to sleep on it, he then placed his head against his pillow and started to sleep.

The next morning as the other Lyoko warriors where packing their bags Dallas awoke due to a sharp pain in his neck, he grabbed what appeared to be a snake biting into it, it opened his jaws as it tried biting him again, he then grabbed it with one hand, it then bit his hand

"mother fucker" he said as he then threw it on the floor pinning it down with his foot then extending and flicking his blade he stabbed the creature in the neck killing it, he looked at it, the snake was red and yellow "venomous" he said, he then grabbed the rest of it and walked out his room "okay whose idea was this" said Dallas, holding the snake the others looked at it "where the fuck did that come from" said Ulrich, Dallas then threw it on the table "you tell me" said Dallas, then looking at the bite marks "okay that is going to hurt" said Dallas, Yumi then stepped forward and pushed his head upwards and looked at the 2 bite-marks in his neck "poison snake" said Yumi, Odd, Ulrich and Jeremie looked at each other "how do you know that" asked Odd "it's colour of the snake" said Yumi, the others were confused "red and yellow, will kill a fellow, red and black venom lack" said Yumi "ohhhhhh" said Ulrich

Authors note

This is an actual piece of advice so if you're ever bitten by a red and yellow snake get to a hospital, if it's red and black just patch the wound.

Now back to the story…

"so who put it in my room" said Dallas, Jeremie looked at the window in Dallas's room, it was sealed from the inside and the door was bolted from the inside, "check the other windows" said Jeremie, then the Lyoko warriors did that "their all locked from the inside" said Odd, Dallas looked around the apartment "okay how the fuck did the snake get in then" said Dallas, "doesn't matter but we'll have to inform the hotel" said Jeremie, Dallas then returned to his room and got dressed "hey Odd" said Dallas leaning out of his room, Odd then leaned out of his "yeah" said Odd, Dallas then threw him a bottle "for Kiwi" said Dallas, Odd then nodded and returned to his room, Dallas carried on in packing his bag, he grabbed his crossbow and slung it over his shoulder, he then grabbed his bag, and walked out of his room, "we ready" asked Yumi, then Odd carefully carried his bag as Kiwi was inside it "yeah" said Odd, they then left the apartment, Dallas locked the door, the coach had arrived and most of the students were standing, by the coach, Jim was loading the bags, the Lyoko warriors then placed their bags in the coach, the students were wearing their masks from the factory, Dallas then grabbed his keys for his bike, Ulrich, then walked towards the manager's office "hey George" he said there was no reply, he then grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down snake in a room look into it he then walked out again, just in time to get on the coach, he managed to avoid Sissi who once again tried to sit down next to him but he sat in a corner next to Yumi "move you slut" she said upon seeing Yumi next to Ulrich, "what did you call me" said Yumi who then curled her fist, Odd then grabbed her hand shook his head, then Sissi turned around, Yumi placed her hand to her own forehead and then Sissi's shoe lasses tied themselves together, so when she tried walking she tripped over "not again" said Sissi, as everyone laughed at her, Dallas observed from the outside of the bus, as he turned on the bike engine and then kicked the stand before ridding off followed closely by the bus.

The two vehicles arrived back at kadic pretty early about 5 pm after a 5 hour ride; with Jeremie panicking about Aelita almost the entire time, Dallas parked his bike in the garage area and returned as the others got off the coach to collect their luggage, Odd grabbed his bag and walked to his room

"He's got ants in his pants" said Yumi, Dallas walked over to them "remember he drugged Kiwi, and he should be coming to any moment now" said Dallas, as he grabbed his duffel bag and grabbed Jeremie's bag as well "come on to the factory" said Jeremie, as he started walking along "I'll catch up" said Dallas, who then started running towards their room, he opened the door and threw his and Jeremie's stuff in, Odd let Kiwi out of his bag in his own room, "I'll be back soon Kiwi" said Odd, before Ulrich arrived and threw his stuff in the room "better go and help Jeremie" said Ulrich, then he and Odd walked down the hall, running into Dallas, "Jeremie's over reacting" said Odd "again" added Ulrich, "if you don't mind Ulrich" said Dallas, Ulrich then rolled his eyes and grabbed Dallas's and Odd's necks before looking around before shouting "supersprint" and the next thing they knew they were at the factory, "thanks" said Dallas, then Jeremie climbed up the hatch "what are you guys doing here" asked Jeremie, "well we arrived just a second ago" said Odd, they then proceeded down the ropes and into the man factory before entering the elevator, Jeremie then hit the button "alright whose going to Lyoko" said Jeremie then Dallas, Ulrich and Odd looked at each other "I'll go" said Odd, Jeremie turned back and said "thanks Odd", the elevator stopped and Dallas, Ulrich and Jeremie stepped out, Jeremie walked over and sat down in the chair whilst the elevator went down to the scanner room, "Aelita are you okay" asked Jeremie typing at the computer, Aelita's window then appeared "Jeremie about time" said Aelita, as she had started to get her leg out but was only on a few life points "don't worry Odd's on his way" said Jeremie, then in the room below Odd stepped out of the elevator and walked towards a scanner, "Jeremie I'm ready" said Odd, he then stepped inside as Jeremie began typing the scanner then sealed itself, and Odd began to levitate and spin around before he felt the blast of air that sent him to Lyoko, his blue squared outline then appeared in the air before gaining texture and dropping to the ground "Jeremie where's Aelita" asked Odd, Jeremie did some typing and replied "30 degrees north west" Odd then started running in that direction, whilst at Aelita's location she started to hear laser blasts "well that was quick" said Aelita, Jeremie did some typing "err Aelita that's not Odd" said Jeremie, he was right it was 2 crabs shooting through the rock, they broke through Aelita winced at her impending fate "laser arrow" shouted an all too familiar voice as one of the crabs exploded, then the other stopped looking at Aelita and moved forward to face Odd, but it was no use Odd fired another arrow destroying it, "fuckin A, Odd" said Dallas, as Odd reached Aelita "hey princess" said Odd, "boy am I glad to see you Odd" said Aelita, Odd then started to remove the stone that had fallen on Aelita's leg "hang in their it's going to take some time" said Odd, whilst back in the lab Dallas was thinking to himself, when he looked at the mask he was given he noticed the logo "still find it strange as hell about the logo" said Dallas, Ulrich turned to look at him and said "will you let it go", Dallas looked up "it's bothering the shit out of me" said Dallas, then he removed the badge, then he remember the night before "Aelita did you find an activated tower" asked Dallas, "no I didn't but I only checked 2 sectors" replied Aelita "we'll check the others" said Dallas, before he got up "I'll be back" he said as he walked to the elevator "where are you going" asked Jeremie "I'll explain later" said Dallas as the elevator closed and then began to ascend into the factory floor, where he bumped into Yumi "Dallas where are you going" asked Yumi, "don't wear the masks" said Dallas before he manifested eagle sense and levitated to the factory bridge, he then started running back towards the school.

Yumi arrived in the computer room

"what was that with Dallas" asked Yumi, the others turned to face her "you saw him then" said Ulrich, "yeah he said 'don't wear the masks' or something like that" said Yumi, "what the hell could he mean" said Yumi, "how long until Aelita's free Odd" asked Jeremie who had turned back to the computer screen "about an hour and that's not counting XANA rearing his head" replied Odd, as he began to scratch away the rock, that surrounded Aelita's leg, meanwhile Dallas rushed back into the schoolyard, and rushed to the garage when he bumped into Alexa "hey where are you going" she asked him "trust me don't ask why but please don't wear that mask" said Dallas, who then kissed her, he then opened the garage door and got on his motorcycle, he kicked the stand and shot off down the road.

Back at the factory Jeremie was examining the program that detected towers

"what are you doing" asked Yumi, Jeremie turned away from the screen "well on the off chance Dallas is right and XANA is behind something or some other, I need to check the tower detection program" replied Jeremie, he then turned back, 55 minutes passed then they finally heard Jeremie shout "eureka" Ulrich and Yumi walked over to him "what is it" asked Yumi, "the programs been tampered with XANA must have erased part of the program" said Jeremie, Ulrich looked at him and said "so XANA has launched an attack but what has he done apart from make masks", they all looked at each other as they tried to think what it could be "anyway I'll have to rewrite the code" said Jeremie "how long will that take" asked Ulrich, Jeremie looked at him "I don't know" said Jeremie, Ulrich then gulped.

Meanwhile Dallas, breaking most speed limits was racing towards Vira, he wouldn't slow down getting himself a few speeding tickets in the process, he quickly turned into the village, he then parked his bike away from the rest of the village, he looked up at the night sky, he grabbed his crossbow and held it in his hand as he walked down the single road that lead to the village, he followed it carefully until he reached the village, he looked around the area only to find it was deserted, he then saw the hotel and started moving towards it he knocked on the mangers office, there was no reply, he knocked again, still there was no reply, he knocked again there was still no reply, he then kicked down the door and knocked George into a chair, George dropped a gun when he was knocked down, Dallas aimed down his crossbow sights

"All right you have some explaining to do" said Dallas, in a violent tone as he pushed the crossbow towards George "I don't know what you mean" replied George, Dallas then flipped his crossbow and wacked George in the face with the stock of the crossbow causing a cut but no blood to pour out of the wound "what the fuck is going on here" asked Dallas, who then grabbed George's wrist and was feeling his pulse, it was slow once every 5 seconds, he then grabbed his crossbow with his other hand and aimed at George "what's XANA planning" shouted Dallas, George looked at him "you're too late" said George, then he died then and there, Dallas stood up about to leave when he stepped to the door and standing there in the pitch blackness of the night were 5 suited men they stood in a straight line, Dallas slung his crossbow over his shoulder and grabbed George hand gun, the suited men then proceeded in perfect synchronisation started moving towards the office Dallas then started shooting at them the bullets went into them like a bag on sand, they were entirely unfazed by this, "oh shit" said Dallas, he then shut the door and put the latch on it he then looked around, then the door started to take a beating from the suited men, Dallas looked around before jumping throw a window, cutting his face, just as the suited men burst through the door, Dallas kept moving hiding behind everything he could to avoid the suited men who were now patrolling the previously empty streets, whilst the ones from the office looked out the window, unable to see him they moved on, whilst Dallas kept on running until a car came from round a corner, Dallas jumped behind a parked car hitting his arm in the fall but he remained out of sight, he carried on hiding in every dark area he could until he reached a phone booth, he pulled out a coin and place it in and dialled Jeremie's number "Jeremie, we have a…" started Dallas but all he got was "this phone is temporally unavailable please try again later", Dallas slammed the phone down before running again, when he bumped into someone, before he could fully see he pulled the gun and aimed at them "Dallas" asked a voice, Dallas cleared his eyes it was Kelly "sorry" he said, then he saw another one of the patrol cars "get down" said Dallas as he pushed Kelly down behind a fence "what are you doing here" asked Kelly "getting to that factory" said Dallas.

Back in the lab Jeremie was typing franticly at the computer, when Ulrich and Yumi heard another

"eureka" from Jeremie, they stood up and walked over "Odd how long until Aelita's free" asked Jeremie "nearly done know" said Odd, as he lifted the stone off of Aelita's foot "there you go princess" said Odd, Aelita stood up for the first time in a while "Odd get her to a tower, I'm starting the detection program now" said Jeremie "gotcha" said Odd who then grabbed Aelita and carried her towards the nearest tower, "you two better get to the scanner room" said Jeremie, to Ulrich and Yumi "got it" said Yumi as Ulrich opened the hatch and started climbing down the ladder and got ready to use the scanners, as Jeremie launched the program, Ulrich and Yumi stood outside a scanner "okay the towers in the ice sector" said Jeremie he began typing as Yumi and Ulrich stepped inside their respective scanners, they then closed causing them to levitate and spin before feeling the blast of air sending them to Lyoko, where their blue square outlines appeared, they then gained texture and dropped to the ground, "now we need to wait for Odd and Aelita" said Yumi, whilst back in the desert sector, Odd carried Aelita into the way tower, she then began to feel stronger again, "thank you Odd" said Aelita, as she stood up again "don't mention it" said Odd, then they walked over to the edge, and jumped into the black void and carried on falling until they had reached the next platform, they then exited the way tower in the Ice sector to see Ulrich and Yumi waiting for them "hey you guys" said Aelita, "hi Aelita" said Ulrich, "Einstein where's the tower" asked Odd, "on the other side of the sector" said Jeremie unhappily, the Lyoko warriors then started running in the direction of the tower.

Back in Vira, Dallas and Kelly remained behind the fence, whilst the 2 suited men from the car inspected the area, they then returned to their car

"Why are you going towards the factory" asked Kelly, Dallas looked to see if the coast was clear "because of many reasons, including one that has something to do with your father's death" replied Dallas, he then got up and started moving again, "I'm coming too then" said Kelly following Dallas, who then walked up to the Mask factory brick wall he then walked away from it, then started running allowing himself to get up the wall and to get his hand on a brick that was sticking out, he then got on top of the wall, before helping Kelly up "keep quiet" said Dallas, as he dropped down from the wall, he then helped Kelly down, Dallas checked the area before moving towards the factory building, then he stopped as a suited man using a spotlight was searching the area "stay here I'll be right back" said Dallas as he quickly rushed to the factory, he then climbed through the open window that lead into the factory, he carried on down the corridor when he noticed a sign above a door Armoury, he quickly opened it to check if anyone was in it they weren't, he then went back down the corridor, to the window "Kelly come on" he said, then Kelly managed to dodge the spotlight, then she climbed through the window, he then lead her down the corridor, he then stopped at the armoury, "it might be Halloween, but right now it's Christmas" said Dallas as he grabbed a ks23 shotgun, he then checked to see if was loaded it wasn't he grabbed a box of bullets "hang on their all incendiary's" said Dallas "what does that mean" asked Kelly "when the target is hit the cause it to catch fire" said Dallas pocketing some of the boxes of bullets before looking at the shotgun and placing it on the side "keep watch will you" said Dallas, "okay" said Kelly who then went outside, Dallas then extended his blade and shortened the barrel of the gun, he then loaded it "let's go" said Dallas, he then passed one of the shotguns to Kelly "don't shoot unless you have to" said Dallas, then he and Kelly moved down the hallway, when they stopped and there was Agnew with a suited man, Dallas shot the suited man, causing him to burst into flames, this unlike other things actually affected him, he then pumped the shotgun and aimed at Agnew "alright XANA what's your plan hey" said Dallas, "who" asked Agnew "don't play dumb with me mother fucker" said Dallas "Dallas what's XANA" asked Kelly, Dallas kept his aim at Agnew "wait a moment say that again" said Dallas, "I said Dallas what's XANA" said Kelly, Dallas then lowered his aim on Agnew, but still kept his gun pointed at him and his eyes on him "I never told you my name so how the fuck do…" started Dallas but he was knocked unconscious by a blow to the back of the head from Kelly using the stock of her shotgun.

Back on Lyoko the warriors where advancing along a narrow thin path a snowstorm had begun, they were slowly making their way through it when a mega tank appeared

"Watch out" said Yumi, but the mega tank didn't stop it carried on moving, then another appeared, Yumi gave chase after it disappearing into the snowstorm, leaving Odd, Ulrich and Aelita long the narrow path, when they looked to see where both of the mega tanks where, they then watched as both of them fired not at them but at the sides of the path causing the section they were standing on to plummet into the digital sea they scream as they fell to their impending doom "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" screamed Jeremie.
