Another day at kadic it was the last lesson before lunch so none of the students were paying to close attention to anything being said, not even Jeremie or Herb were paying that much attention
"Now then, if you provoke a collision between two neutrons what do you obtain, who would like to answer, anybody" said Mrs Hertz, Jeremie was now finally starting to pay attention he was in the front row to Mrs Hertz left with Dallas sitting next to him on his right with Odd and Ulrich behind them, whilst Sissi was sitting one the table next to Dallas, with Herb at her left with Adam and Nicholas behind them, Odd looked up thinking he might know this one, Ulrich sat looking at the clouds whilst Dallas, had his book in his hand writing on a page that looked like it had been written on a few times already, he looked for a blank spot in hope's of finding one on this page, he then turned to the next and began writing anew, Jeremie looked at the page and whispered to him "that doesn't look like a solo song to me" said Jeremie, Dallas turned his head to face him and said "not meant to be" before turning his head back towards his book
"Nobody" said Mrs Hertz observing the room looking at each and every student, but not with to close attention as she missed Dallas writing in his book, Herb raised his hand "me mam" said Herb oh so desperately to answer the question "Jesus Christ" said Adam, "yes Herb" said Mrs Hertz, when suddenly someone's phone went off, then another, and another, until everyone who owned a phone was answering their phone, except Dallas who still hadn't found the time to replace his phone, "hello, hello" said everyone who answered their phone, Mrs Hertz was both shocked and taken by surprise, as everyone's phone had been answered, Odd pulled his phone away from his face and looked at it, Ulrich then turned his head towards Odd and gave him a serious look, Dallas quickly looked around and was about to activate eagle sight to check the phone's but Mrs Hertz walked over and stood in front of him, it was to risky for him to do "who is this" said Sissi, then she ended the call, Mrs Hertz was angry about this and tapped her foot on the floor more or less angrily at the event that just took place she narrowed her eyes and said "Sissi, you the principals daughter should know the rules, dealing with cell phones now why don't you remind us all what that is" Sissi then thought for a moment then said "all mobile phones must be turned off before entering the classroom under penalty of having them confiscated", Mrs Hertz then extended he arm forward and opened her hand "hand it over" she said sharply, before Sissi frowned and reluctantly handed her phone to Mrs Hertz "and that goes for everyone" Added Mrs Hertz, everyone was shocked, Jeremie and Dallas turned their heads back to look and at Odd and Ulrich, all of their faces serious, Mrs Hertz stamped her foot and shouted "quiet down" the bell then went "put all you're cell phones on my desk right now" said Mrs Hertz before grabbing her science jacket and holding onto it as if she was straightening it out, everyone got up and placed their phones on the desk as they walked out "XANA's sure going to be Happy about this" said Odd as he placed his phone on the desk Dallas, tried to get a look at the phones, but Mrs Hertz shoved them out of the room "shit" he said under his breath as he left the room, then he and the other's turned their heads as Yumi came running straight towards them, dodge everyone that was in her way
"we had this weird problem this morning, like everyone's cell phones started ringing and…" started Yumi, but Odd cut her off and said "you're teacher confiscated them us too" Jeremie raised his hand to his chin and said "crazy huh, all those call's and no one at the other end, I think I'll contact Aelita, this could be XANA's " said Jeremie before rushing off, "what do you think Dallas" asked Yumi, Dallas shook his head "couldn't get a look at them, every opportunity was risky, last thing I need is someone asking about my pupils" said Dallas, before they started walking towards the stair's "we gotta do something, If Jeremie's right and we can't stay in contact, were in a real jam" said Ulrich, the group then stopped walking as they heard a voice call out "hey you three" they turned around to see Sissi, Nicholas and Herb "I'm organising a meeting, they've got to give us are mobile's back" said Sissi, "well are you with us" asked Sissi, after a brief pause "never thought I'd say this but where's Adam" asked Dallas, regretting what he had just said almost instantly "he went to lunch" said Sissi, before saying "well are you with us or not" again, "you bet we are" said Yumi surprising them all "no kidding" asked a shocked Sissi "if you really mean it, we'll see you in the auditorium right after lunch" said Sissi before walking away between Nicholas and Herb, the latter of which blushed and smiled before the both of them followed her away "you were right we gotta see what's up" said Ulrich as the group carried on walking towards the stairs "I'll catch you guys latter I'm gonna go help Einstein" said Dallas, before he dashed off towards the stairs and then towards the border's rooms.
"Connection" said Jeremie as he hit the enter key on his computer as Dallas walked into the room, "you need to lock that thing" said Dallas, as he sat on the end of his bed, Jeremie turned his chair towards Dallas "sorry I forgot… again" said Jeremie, before turning back towards his computer "Aelita do you read me, Aelita" said Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko Aelita was sitting in a forest sector tower, she was sitting cross legged on the bottom platform, looking at a blue screen, which had date scrolling upwards at a fast rate "oh hello Jeremie" said Aelita, as her window opened on Jeremie's computer "oh hi, tell me have you noticed anything strange on Lyoko" asked Jeremie "no should I have" replied Aelita "I don't know but I better launch a scan to check" asked Jeremie, Aelita stood up in her tower causing her window to close saying "okay and I'll see if I can pick up any of XANA's pulsations" "good but be careful" said Jeremie, Aelita's window then closed down, Jeremie then started typing launching the scan, before stepping up "now all we can do is wait" said Dallas, as he also stood up, he then extended his blade and shoved it underneath a floor, he then lifted the plank up to reveal a safe, he then put the combination in 1-3, then he spun the dial counter clockwise then he put the next part of the code in 1-1, then he spun it clock wise again, before putting 9-8 then their was a clicking noise and he opened the safe to revel a few CDs that either contained Dallas's music or Jeremie's Codes, he then placed his book in side before shutting the safe and replacing the floor board, "you are really over precautious" said Jeremie, Dallas then stood up, wiping his hands "yeah well, what can you do" said Dallas, as he and Jeremie walked out the room, Dallas then locked the door, "just in case" said Dallas before he placed his arm over Jeremie's shoulder and laughed as the walked down towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was quite empty most of the people where in the auditorium; the only people in the cafeteria were the lyoko warriors, Mike, and a young boy with black hair that was sticking up who was wearing a orange shirt with grey trousers, whilst Delmas, Jim and Mrs Hertz were sitting at their own table
"you're gonna take back you're cell phone you know that" said Yumi "shhhhh" said Dallas looking around to make sure no one heard Yumi say that "that's called stealing" said Yumi, who was now quieter "no its not, taking back what belongs to you in the first place is not what I call stealing" said Odd, Dallas held his head in his hand, as he was disagreeing with the idea, whilst on the staff table Delmas was going on about the cell phone incident
"the students were warned, I'm not going to return their phones that quickly, we need to deactivate the schools antenna" said Delmas, Mrs Hertz nodded in agreement "that way even with new phones, they won't be able to use them, can you handle that Jim?" said Delmas
Authors note
As this was originally written in 2003 and I have never owned a phone I am unsure if that still applies, so I can't update it or not, if it doesn't apply anymore then I have cocked up.
Jim was eating his food, when he stopped and looked up at Delmas before raising his arm as if to say 'he will take care of it' whilst back on the Lyoko warriors table they were still arguing about Odd's plan
"I'm sorry but we have no choice Yumi" said Ulrich, Yumi was shocked that Ulrich had said this "it's a bad idea if you get caught" said Dallas, "don't worry we won't" said Odd then he looked at the staff table "thank you Charles" said Delmas as a bald man wearing a grey shirt and white apron placed a bowl of chicken soup on the table, Odd then looked at Ulrich and said "okay Ulrich let's go" Yumi then looked at the staff table before looking back to see them gone "they are so fucked" said Dallas.
In the main building's hallway outside Delmas office, Ulrich stood guard outside the room where the teachers had their lockers, whilst Odd was picking the lock on the door with a paper clip, he managed to get it open the room was filled with many small lockers one for each teacher and a desk in the middle of the room with a chair at the desk, Odd then entered the room
"the coast is clear" said Ulrich, Odd then made his way towards Mrs Hertz locker which was only 7 lockers away from the door, Odd the knelt down so he could begin the picking of the lock, it was harder to pick than the door, Odd started to sweat, and he then became slightly frustrated at this, then their was the clicking noise Odd had opened the locker, he then looked at the pile of phones, that lay their, all from Mrs Hertz class their were 29 phones and luckily for Odd his, Jeremie's and Ulrich's phone were all at the top of the pile, he grabbed them and pocketed them when he heard Ulrich call out
"why hello Mr Fumet", Odd then quickly and quietly shut the locker "uh hello Ulrich" said Fumet a brown haired man who needed glasses and wore a brown jacket with a red scarf as he passed Ulrich not bothering to ask him why he was their, he then opened the door to the room, before walking into it, Odd had hidden at the last second underneath the desk, but Fumet walked over towards the desk and sat down placing some papers on the desk along with his pen which then rolled off the desk and towards Odd, who then started sweating as he knew he was in trouble, but luckily for Odd, Fumet used his foot to roll the pen towards himself and then leaned over to his side to pick up the pen, he then walked over to his own locker and pulled out a key and opened it before placing his paperwork inside it before closing it and locking it.
Back in Jeremie and Dallas's room they were joined by Yumi and were around the computer with Yumi on Jeremie's right and Dallas on the left, they were observing the scan, Aelita's window was open to the side of it, whilst Kiwi laid on Jeremie's bed, when Odd and Ulrich walked through the door
"ah ha mission accomplished" Said Odd, Dallas then looked at Jeremie before giving a slight tap on the back of his "ow" said Jeremie "how many times do I have to tell you lock that door, you wonder why I have that safe" said Dallas, as Kiwi sniffed the phone, "lets hope that nobody finds out" said Yumi, Odd then picked up his phone and said "I'd rather hope that we were worried for nothing" said Odd as Ulrich picked up his own phone and Jeremie's before passing it to him "heads up" said Ulrich, Dallas caught it and placed it down on the desk for Jeremie, who nodded, "for know the scan hasn't found an activated tower" said Jeremie, "I haven't seen anything either false alarm" said Aelita suddenly Jeremie stood up his glasses falling into his hands he quickly placed them back on before shouting "XANA" as the phone screens all had XANAs logo on them which pulsated as if it was a heart beat.
The gang made their way outside the dorm building after that discovery, Dallas had made sure that Jeremie had locked the door; they were walking towards the schools antenna
"why would XANA be interested in mobile phones" asked Ulrich, Yumi placed her hand of her chin, wondering "that's what I'm hoping to find out by checking out the school's antenna" said Jeremie, then Yumi ran off to the auditorium "I'm off to the meeting I promised Sissi" said Yumi, Dallas turned his head as she ran away "I'm surprised she meant it" said Dallas, the building with the schools antenna was a 10 story building which also housed the science wing of the school, upon making their way to the top they found Jim trying to unplug the antenna and Adam, standing their just watching, Odd shut the door quite loudly
"huh" asked Jim "hey who let you guys up here trying to stop me from disconnecting the schools antenna" said Jim, "us no, we were just passing by" said Ulrich when suddenly Jim was electrified, he screamed as non-lethal volts surged through his body "careful" said Jeremie, but it was no use, Jim fell passing one window Odd reached to grab his legs but fell with him, Dallas then grabbed Odd's legs and was now carrying all their wait "fan-tucking-astic" said Dallas, as he with the help of Ulrich and even Jeremie helped they managed to pull them, then he noticed Adam laughing at the incident, Dallas then walked over and punched him in the mouth causing him to bleed "you could have helped" said Dallas, "we'll take him to the infirmary" said Ulrich as he and Odd carried Jim down the stairs "okay I'll try to find out what…" started Jeremie, Dallas stopped him, the latter then grabbed Adam, and held his collar and held him over the edge of the building "holy shit man, what the fuck are you doing" asked Adam, panicking "there are 2 ways down, 1 is the direct route the other is the stairs which will it be" asked Dallas, Adam turned his head back, "the stairs" screamed Adam, Dallas then smiled and pulled him forwards before throwing him through the door, and slamming it after him, "okay" said Jeremie, who was about to hook his laptop to the antenna "Stop" said Dallas, Jeremie turned to face him at the last second "I'll do it just in case" said Dallas grabbing the laptop, he then unplug the antenna and was about to wire the laptop in when he was electrocuted, but Dallas unlike Jim before him forced himself to take the voltage, even if it wasn't lethal Dallas took the full voltage, it didn't stop however as Jim had let go within seconds, the voltage stopped all of a sudden, "I think that'll snafu XANA" said Dallas as he wired in the Laptop, "XANA won't do it again" asked Jeremie as Dallas handed the laptop back to Jeremie "no, I absorbed the lot, wait hang on" said Dallas, as he started to shake his leg "ow, ow, ow" he said as suddenly his left shoe caught fire, he took it off and extinguished the fire "what was that" asked Jeremie, "well I think I had to dispose of the electricity current and there goes my shoe" said Dallas, Jeremie looked at him funny "yeah, I know 1 shoe looks ridiculas" said Dallas, he then removed his other shoe and threw it off the building along with the charred remains of the other one.
In the main building, Odd and Ulrich had taken Jim to the nurse's station, they had placed him in one of the bed's he was still conscious
"hey Jim can you hear me" asked Ulrich, all Jim could do was blink "smells like roast chicken huh" said Odd, Jim moaned most likely because of the pain "Jim, hey Jim, you who" said Ulrich, as the nurse Dorothy walked past the door, she stopped and entered the room "Odd, Ulrich what are you doing here" asked Dorothy then she noticed Jim on the bed "Jim, what happened to him" asked Dorothy shocked at the sight "oh you know Jim, he's a regular live wire" said Odd, who then stopped himself at the notice and irony of what he just said, whilst back on the science building tower Jeremie and Dallas where looking down at the school when the laptop started beeping, Jeremie was baffled by the readings, Dallas looked at it, he then looked up, and then looked down again, then up again, he smiled and activated eagle sense
"hey Einstein, I've found you're answer" said Dallas, Jeremie then looked up to see one of the skyscrapers that was nearby, this one in particular had a giant satellite dish on it "the main television antenna" said Jeremie, he then looked at Dallas "yep" said Dallas, Jeremie suddenly worked it and pulled out the cable from his laptop as he and Dallas started running down the stairs, "fuck this" said Dallas as he grabbed Jeremie and jumped down the middle of the stairs and then used eagle sense and landed perfectly "don't do that again" asked Jeremie, breathing heavily, "got it" replied Dallas, patting Jeremie on the back.
In the auditorium having just finished the petition, Sissi was having everyone in the room sign it, Millie just finished signing it
"their" she said, then Adam walked over towards the desk, "what happened to you" asked Herb, upon noticing Adam's teeth were blooded up "who the fuck do you think" said Adam as he grabbed the sheet and signed his name, before grabbing his mouth which was in some pain, then Yumi walked over towards the desk and signed the petition "oh miss Yumi is gracing us with her presence where were you when we wrote the petition" said Sissi, holding it up once Yumi had signed it despite being angry at her Sissi knew that they had a formal agreement this time, "just what is going on in here" said Delmas taking everybody by surprise and behind him was Mrs Hertz "oh dad uh… I mean sir what is going on here is this" said Sissi as she stood up and walked over to her farther and showed him the petition "you see we all signed a petition so you have to give us back are cell phones" said Sissi, Delmas was enraged by this disrespectful manner that came not from a student but his own daughter "oh really, first let me remind you that in this establishment the students do not make the rules, secondly Mrs Hertz has just learned that someone forced her locker open to get back his cell phone" said Delmas laying down firmly that he wasn't giving in, whisper erupted in the room, as everyone looked at each other unsure who stole back their cell phone, Sissi looked back at Yumi, and assumed it was her but in a rare change of heart Sissi stood up for Yumi and said "it's only normal sir how can anyone live without their cell phones" at this point Yumi noticed Jeremie On Dallas shoulders in the window, Jeremie was signalling her "I'm sorry but this theft is another reason for not returning them to you and were going to investigate into who had the nerve to steal back his own" said Delmas, Yumi managed to sneak out, by going through the door behind the stage, whilst back in the hall, Sissi raised her hand "and I say we don't set foot in the classroom without our mobiles" she said rallying her fellow students, it worked as everyone said "yeah".
Back in their room, Jeremie and Dallas were at the computer and their bed respectively, Dallas was replacing his shoes, whilst Odd, Ulrich and Yumi where observing what Jeremie had to show them all on the computer
"you see these waves, XANA's using the school antenna unit to try and plug into the main television disk" said Jeremie "That's why all the phones rang" asked Yumi, "right" said Jeremie, Dallas stood up "XANA put up one hell of a fight trying to defend it" said Dallas, "it jams their frequencies, if XANA takes over the dish, he'll have direct access to the satellites that are now orbiting the earth" said Jeremie "and" asked Yumi knowing that what Jeremie would say wasn't going to be a good thing "and guide a military satellite" said Jeremie, Ulrich looked at Dallas, "if XANA did couldn't Dallas just fly up there and disable it" asked Ulrich, Dallas shook his head "unlikely I would burn up in the atmosphere, who knows how long it would take me to reassemble, considering I'm regenerating from a speck of dust, and besides I don't know if I'm immune to the vacuum of space" said Dallas crushing that idea almost immediately "okay but for what reason" asked Yumi, "I wish I knew in peace time these satellites are used for spying, but if XANA reprograms one who knows" said Jeremie, they all looked at each other, all of them worried at the uncertainty of what might happen "anything could happen, Jeremie's right this is serious" said Ulrich, "you'd better believe it Ulrich the scans detected a tower" said Jeremie, they were even more worried now, then the silence was broken by Aelita's window appearing on the screen "Jeremie, XANA has activated a tower in the ice sector" said Aelita more or less worried "we are on are way" said Jeremie "better hurry" said Aelita then her window closed down "lets us the tunnel in the park, Kiwi barked as he heard park Jeremie unlocked the door "bout time you remembered" said Dallas, as he and exited followed by Ulrich and Yumi, "Kiwi you stay here" said Odd, as he shut the door, but Kiwi wasn't having this, and he jumped for the door handle grabbing it between his teeth and opening the door.
Outside the cafeteria, Sissi and the other students had made signs as if they were on strike from their jobs, Sissi walked up and down them inspecting these signs before beginning a chant
"no more phones no more school, perfect" said Sissi, then she noticed the Lyoko warriors standing in the arches "I'll stay here just in case XANA has any plans to attack the school" said Yumi, "I'll stay as well see what I can do about the antenna" said Dallas, then they heard a voice call out "hey are you with us or not" it was Sissi, Yumi turned and smiled and walked over to her whilst the others ran away, "ever heard of solidarity" asked Sissi, "don't worry Sissi I'm with you a hundred percent" said Yumi, who then walked past Sissi, raising her hand in the air shouting "no more phone's no more school", Sissi was shocked by Yumi devotion to the cause, whilst at the sewer entrance in the park Ulrich was opening it "how'll we keep in contact" asked Jeremie, Dallas looked around "I don't know, I'm just making this up as I go along" said Dallas as he ran towards the science building, as he arrived he found the door locked "fuck" he said, he then thought about picking the lock, that would be stupid if he got caught he'd be up to his neck in it, he then thought about using eagle sense to fly to the top it weren't going to happen in case anyone saw him, at this point he looked at the window "if there's a will theirs a way" said Dallas, he then placed his hand on a window ledge and started climbing up the building, whilst back at the sewer entrance Ulrich opened it, and started to descend into it followed by Jeremie, then Odd began climbing down, when he noticed Kiwi "Kiwi what are you doing here" said Odd, Jeremie looked up on the ladder "incredible for a dog he's as stubborn as a mule" said Jeremie before he carried on moving down the ladder "well now that you're here come on" said Odd, then Kiwi jumped onto his arm, and Odd at this point was careful as he descended into the sewer, the 3 of them then grabbed their respective modes of transport, Odd and Ulrich their skateboards and Jeremie his scooter, with Kiwi on it they then started following the tunnel to the factory.
Upon arriving the 3 of them ran across the bridge, Kiwi once again jumped into Odd's arms as he went down the ropes onto the factory floor, where the 3 warriors entered the elevator, Jeremie pressed the button, and the metal grate shut allowing the elevator to descend to the lower levels, the second door opened to reveal the computer room, Jeremie and Kiwi stepped forward and into it, whilst Odd and Ulrich stayed inside the elevator and waited for the door to close, allowing the elevator to descended again, allowing Ulrich and Odd to enter the scanner room
"Aelita's on her way to the ice sector" said Jeremie as his chair arrived at the computer "Aelita" asked Jeremie after typing in the computer "Jeremie, I've made it to the ice flow, but I don't see any activated tower" said Aelita, "okay wait there for Ulrich and Odd, meanwhile watch out for XANA's monsters" said Jeremie, he then began typing "well are you ready, here we go" asked Jeremie, as he pressed the enter key "Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Odd" said Jeremie as they stepped into the scanners, "Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Odd" said Jeremie as the scanners closed and then the process began, "Virtualization" said Jeremie as Odd and Ulrich felt the blasts of air, which allowed their blue square outlines to appear and then gain their detail before dropping to the ground "Odd, Ulrich" said a waving Aelita, "their she is" said Ulrich then him and Odd started running towards her, Jeremie was looking at the satellite dish on the computer "good news XANA's still not in control of the tv dish" said Jeremie "I'll try to find out which satellite XANA wants to get his hands on, but it won't be easy" he added before he started typing.
"No more phones no more school" chanted everyone in the rally back at the school, they were sitting outside Delmas's office, Yumi wasn't joining in with the others but they failed to notice this, she looked around, to see Dallas half way up the science building "next time, I will pick that lock" said Dallas, as he carried on climbing upwards, Yumi then turned back, and started saying "no more phones no more school", whilst back at the factory Jeremie was still typing "okay now let's try the access code, access code accepted yes bingo" said Jeremie excited about the fact he just broke into the French government "let's see, U466, military satellite armed with a highly disruptive laser beam" said Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko Odd, Aelita and Ulrich were running whilst at the same time, following the pulsations that lead towards the tower "were could that tower be" asked Odd as they carried on following them "one thing at a time Odd first of all I've figured it out, I know what XANA's after he wants to gain control of a highly accurate and destructive satellite, if he does he can destroy whatever he wants " said Jeremie, whilst the warriors ran onto a small ice path "well the factory's safe XANA wouldn't fire on himself" said Odd, "right that'll give us time to take care of things on Lyoko" said Jeremie, "sounds good, but if XANA decides to destroy the school" said Ulrich, then they all realised "remember Yumi's there, so that's for sure what he's going to do" said Jeremie, "what about Dallas" asked Aelita, as she was actually unaware of his healing factor, "he'll be fine" said Odd, Jeremie then thought to himself "we have to warn her" said Jeremie, "but without a mobile" added Jeremie, when suddenly Jeremie's caller ID appeared on the screen, he answered it "hello" he said not understanding who it was "Jeremie, thank Christ you left your laptop up here" said Dallas as he looked down on the school "yeah whoops" said Jeremie, "listen you need to warn Yumi, tell her about the laser" added Jeremie, "I'll do my best" replied Dallas, then the call ended.
Back outside Delmas office, they were still striking against Delmas; Sissi was becoming angered by the lack of progress
"I demand that you stop this absurd strike now" said Delmas, they carried on so Delmas decided to lay down the law, "Yumi, my office immediately" said Delmas, as she was a day student "did you see that we have to free her from the dictator, free Yumi" shouted Sissi as Yumi was led away to Delmas's office, the strikers then followed her towards the door, Dallas looked at the events through his crossbow scope, he looked down "this is goanna hurt" shouted Dallas, before he jumped, and then using eagle sense in small bursts, which were close to invisible, he kept himself on course.
Back on Lyoko the warriors had come to a small isolated area, it was empty, which was never a good sign Jeremie looked at the hologram that was in the centre of the room and said
"according to the hollo map, the activated tower is just across the bridge, but be careful it's probably guarded by the…" "By the Hornets thanks we've noticed" said Ulrich finishing his sentence upon seeing them, he then drew his sword "remember the poison there carrying will kill your life points, so watch out" said Jeremie whilst Odd and Ulrich stood in front of the creatures whilst Ulrich with his sword in his hands and Odd's arm raised up "what are they waiting for" asked Odd as he narrowed his eyes and looked at the Hornets as they hovered in the air "they must just want to hold you their until XANA's able to control the satellite, you've gotta get past them" said Jeremie, Odd then immediately shouted "laser arrow" firing one at the five Hornets, which dodge at the last second, it then moved towards Aelita "No Aelita watch out" said Ulrich as the Hornet fired some poison towards Aelita who then dodged out of the way just as some was about to hit her hand "Aelita don't take any chances leave that to Odd and Ulrich" said Jeremie as Aelita ran away from the action and hid behind Odd and Ulrich.
Back at the school, Yumi was sitting in Delmas's office right in front of his desk
"Yumi I don't understand what's going on, the strike of all people I never expected you to be involved in it, you're usually so sensible too" said Delmas, Yumi however was distracted "Yumi will you listen to me" Said Delmas standing up and placing his hands flat on his desk "huh" said Yumi, then Delmas heard a voice shout "STICK THE LANDING" as Dallas who turned over to his side as he smashed through the window behind Delmas, knocking him forward over his desk, and causing the desk to tumble over, before both hitting the floor whilst Dallas rolled onto his feet "bollocks" said Dallas, as he pulled a piece of glass out of his mouth, allowing the wound to heal and after seeing what he had just done "listen Yumi get everyone out of the school" said Dallas, before he activated eagle sense and flew out the window he'd just crashed through "Yumi what are you" asked Delmas fazed by what had just happened and unsure what was going on "I'm sorry sir but I have to leave right away, you too as a matter of fact everyone around here has to leave" said Yumi as she ran out of Delmas office and slammed his door.
Back in the lab Jeremie was observing the map, before realising the only way
"we have no choice one of you has to make the sacrifice" said Jeremie, whilst on Lyoko, Odd and Ulrich looked at each other "listen I'll attract their attention so you can get through" said Odd, before he started running towards the Hornets "Odd wait" shouted Ulrich after him, but it was too late, Odd was already running towards them, around the poison that was on the ground in front of the Hornets "take that" said Odd as he ran past the creatures firing numerous arrows at them, missing each and every one of them, but it was enough to attract the attention of the Hornets "huh" said Aelita upon seeing Odd's bravery "he's nuts" said Ulrich, then he grabbed Aelita's hand and started running towards the tower "okay lets go" he said as they got closer, whilst Odd was firing at the Hornets "take that, and that" said Odd as he constantly fired his arrows at the creatures to his side, when one of the blasts struck him in the knee causing it to spark, he started hopping on one foot, keeping up his speed "Odd between the poison and bolts you've already lost 70 life points" said Jeremie, Odd regardless kept on running "you said no choice" replied Odd, as he fired another bolt finally hitting one of the Hornets "There you horrible beast" said Odd, but 2 of the Hornets shot at Odd hitting him in the back , knocking him down causing him to spark and moan with pain "you've only got 20 life points left Odd, I'm sorry" said Jeremie, as Odd looked at Aelita and Ulrich running across a bridge "oh no XANA's taken over the satellite" said Jeremie as a window popped up on the screen "Yumi" said Jeremie.
Whilst back at the school Yumi was running towards the crowd of students
"they let you go Yumi" asked Sissi, Yumi stopped at them heavily out of breath "I escaped when he wasn't looking" said Yumi still panting "because are more important than anything for me, in fact we should increase the strength of are movement and protest in town" said Yumi, Sissi then looked at her small group of friends who were baffled by this, they all looked at Yumi who raised her right arm and said "everyone into town we gotta get all the schools on are side" Sissi ran past Yumi and said "okay, freedom for all are schools, come on, no more phones no more school" then the group started marching away from the school buildings.
The satellite was moving towards XANA's desired location, whilst Jeremie was observing its targeting
"wow what an incredible technological masterpiece" said Jeremie then the target locked onto the area of the school "parameters locked in place target localised" said the voice of the targeting system "already, we were right the school's in the satellite's line of fire" said Jeremie, "but" added Jeremie when he realised it wasn't the school, "high school students, all for one and one for all" said Sissi and the crowd of students, otherwise known as XANA's targets "come on come on faster" said Yumi as she pushed them forward "you will not leave the grounds" said Delmas who had a bandage around his head from the incident "you have no right" shouted Sissi at her farther, Yumi was panicked by the lack of progress , whilst Dallas observed from the top of the science building "come on, get fucking moving" said Dallas, as he looked through his crossbow scope, he then slung it back over his shoulder.
Ulrich and Aelita where at the top of a small ice mountain where the pulsations lead to they made it their okay the problem was there was no tower
"what's going on, I though the tower was supposed to be here" said Ulrich looking over the edge, he then looked to his left to see the 4 Hornets surround Odd, but then they noticed Ulrich and Aelita and moved away from Odd, but they forgot to DE virtualize him, Odd fired another arrow at them he missed they didn't pay any attention "oh no, Ulrich, Aelita the Hornets are after you" said Jeremie as the creatures got closer to their new target, Ulrich placed his hand on his Katana, "the holomap doesn't lie, it's gotta be their somewhere" said Jeremie, as the Hornets arrived at Ulrich and Aelita, and started flying towards them, Ulrich swung his sword at them missing , but it managed to scare them off for a few seconds, giving him and Aelita a few seconds to jump off the small mountain and land on the floor below, one of the Hornets fired at Aelita, but Ulrich used his Katana and blocked the shot, it fired another shot again it was blocked by Ulrich, Aelita then started running away in hopes of finding the tower, Ulrich then started following her and blocking more of the shots made by the Hornets, "triplicate" shouted Ulrich and he split into 3 "go on don't worry about me" said Ulrich, Aelita then started running and jumping from platform to platform.
Back in the lab Jeremie was curious about XANA's new toy
"I wonder how accurate this satellite really is" asked Jeremie to himself, then the targeting system, locked dead onto Yumi, "I don't believe it" said Jeremie, the satellite laser then turned to the right angle ready to fire "Yumi's in danger the lasers aimed right at her" said Jeremie, then he started typing on the super computer trying to reach his laptop, whilst at the school
"you're making a terrible mistake I beg of you sir we've got to get out of here" said Yumi pleading to Delmas, the latter wasn't having it "I've had enough Yumi I'm suspending you for a month you are too leave this campus now, as for the rest of you back to your class rooms you're strike is over" said Delmas, once again firmly laying down the law, "sir it's a question of life and death let us all leave please" said Yumi still pleading "hey aren't you being a little dramatic Yumi" asked Sissi as Yumi was biting her nails in fear, whilst on top of the science building Dallas picked up the laptop
"yeah Jeremie" asked Dallas still looking down on the group "warn Yumi the lasers locked onto her" said Jeremie, Dallas then dropped the laptop before shouting "YUMI THE LASER IT'S LOCKED ONTO YOU RUN TO THE FACTORY IT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT'S SAFE, IT'S YOU THE SATALLITES AFTER" Yumi then looked up to see Dallas shouting, whilst Jeremie noticed something "Dallas it's changed its lock" said Jeremie, Dallas then turned to face the laptop "what do you mean" asked Dallas.
Back on Lyoko the Hornets had already disposed of one of the Ulrich's leaving the real one and a duplicate, a Hornet fired destroying the duplicate, Ulrich then started running towards one of the Hornets and jumped stabbing and destroying the Hornet, whilst Aelita a few feet below was still looking for the tower, she then started to follow a small stream of water, but two of the Hornets had found her and started shooting at her, whilst back in the lab Jeremie head the targeting system say some distressing things
"laser sight path locked satellite ready to fire" said the targeting voice "Jeremie where is it locked to" asked Dallas, who was still on top of the science building and starting to panic Yumi hadn't moved "on you" said Jeremie, Dallas then realised "oh shit" he said then he saw the laser head straight towards him, he then jumped of the building, with his legs slightly raised and his arms extended outwards as the laser struck the building it was silent until it hit when the silence was interrupted by a loud bang of the science building exploding into flames due to the gases and other such things being stored there, the building's top floors turned into a raging inferno as Dallas jumped down, even though he was 6 feet away from the fire that was starting to engulf the building, he could still feel the heat on his back as he fell towards the ground, he looked down and manifested eagle sense, and started to fly to stop himself from hitting the ground he then turned, to see that the force of the explosion had blown a load of dust towards the group, he saw Adam was smiling at the belief that Dallas was dead, as he could not see because of the cloud of dust "RUN FOR FUCKS SAKE, RUN!" shouted Dallas below towards Yumi who then finally started running as the laser realigned itself, for some reason Adam was still smiling and laughing, as the laser now fired on Yumi, who luckily jumped out of the way as the laser struck the ground creating a 10 foot deep smoking hole in the form of a semi sphere, destroying the trees and grass life around it, whilst all Jeremie could do was watch the scanner on the computer, whilst on Lyoko Aelita was still being pursed towards the edge of a cliff which she jumped off to try and escape the creatures that pursed her
"where is it" asked Aelita to herself looking up at the cliff she was just on she then started running away, Ulrich noticed this and quickly turned his head, the Hornets saw this as an opportunity and shot at Ulrich missing him but sending Jim off the cliff behind him, whilst back at the school, Yumi looked at the smoking hole, when Dallas flew low "come one you've gotta reach the factory, it's the only place that's safe" said Dallas he then flew up again "what in the world is happening" said Delmas before shouting at the students "let's get out of here now" as he now understood the situation, whilst on Lyoko Ulrich was still blocking the Hornet's shots "Aelita have you found it yet" said Ulrich, as Aelita stood looking "I'm doing my best but nothing yet, it's pretty well hidden" said Aelita as she looked around, then a Hornet shot at Ulrich striking him in the shoulder, causing him to topple over another cliff and land on his back DE virtualizing him, but not before he managed to land one last blow into one of the Hornets "Ulrich" said Aelita as she watched him, lose his texture and then fade out of existence, "Aelita answer me" said Jeremie "I'm here Jeremie" said Aelita as she started running "I still haven't found the tower" said Aelita, then she looked up to see the last Hornet guarding a cave mouth "Jeremie I think I've found the tower" said Aelita, but the Hornet stopped her it was about to fire when a laser arrow flew past the creature it turned to look at the mark that had been done by the arrow then it turned back to see Odd limping towards it and Aelita with his left arm holding his waist and his right arm raised "laser arrow" shouted Odd striking the Hornet and destroying it, Odd then collapsed onto his knees, Aelita then nodded and started running into the cave mouth to find at last, the activated tower "Jeremie I've found it" said Aelita as she jumped across the small ice platforms to enter it.
Back at the school the satellite had caused serious damage having struck other buildings as well as the science building half the school was on fire but all rescue services where to scared to move towards the school, Dallas was doing a birds eye observation of the school
"shit, thank god everyone got the fuck out in time" said Dallas, then he noticed Yumi in a bush "Dallas I'm going for the boiler room" shouted Yumi, Dallas nodded, and Yumi started running just as Aelita passed through the tower wall and walked towards the centre of the platform, Aelita then began to fly upwards towards the top platform, as Yumi was running across the running track, but Dallas noticed the laser beam blast head straight towards Yumi, he then flew in to it, he had hoped to intercept the blast, but upon hitting him it blew him in half sending his torso and up section onto the track and his leg section into the bushes "ouch" said Dallas, upon seeing his insides fall onto the track, he then died due to blood loss, at the same time Yumi ran over to help him, but the laser struck Dallas's body destroying it, and sending Yumi flying backwards and a giant smoking crater where Dallas body had landed, the laser then fired again, and Yumi knew this time it was inevitable, she closed her eyes and her face winced in fear of what was to come, at the same time Aelita landed on the top platform and placed her hand on the blue screen which then read 'Aelita', then 'Code' followed by 'Lyoko' the tower was deactivated, but the laser still travelled towards Yumi who then quickly placed her hand to her forehead and used to telekinesis she was unable to stop the laser but she slowed it down, to the point that it stopped, whilst inside the tower the blue screens then descended into the black void below, then a white flash appeared in it which began to rise inside the tower "return to the past now" said Jeremie, as he hit the enter key… .
Earlier that day the Lyoko warriors where putting up posters around the school
"are you sure you're okay" asked Yumi looking at Dallas, "yeah I'm fine I think I lost a stone or two" said Dallas jokingly, then he felt a bit funny "and maybe some ribs" added Dallas, the other laughed as they knew he was going to be okay, "you should become an organ donner" said Jeremie joking around "hey one of him is enough" said Ulrich, Odd then placed a poster on the door of the cafeteria, the first person to see it was Sissi and her group
"invitations to a party" asked Sissi so full of hope "Not really" said Odd, slightly laughing, Sissi then read the poster "what is this thing, official school policy reminder to all students all mobile phones not turned off before entering the classroom, will be immediately confiscated", the Lyoko warriors then started laughing at the shocked reaction of Sissi "That's incredible talk about a teacher's pets" said Sissi, who then started walking away with her group "anyway I'd like to see someone try and confiscate my mobile" said Sissi, then when she wasn't looking Dallas held out her phone between his thumb and index finger, then they started laughing.
