Saturday morning Jeremie woke up, he was face down on his keyboard, he had once again fallen asleep at his computer and again, Dallas had put a cover over him, he leant back the cover falling off him, he looked back to see Dallas
"morning sleeping beauty" said Dallas, as he put on a white vest, Jeremie smiled before rubbing the side of his face "how long I been out" asked Jeremie, Dallas looked at his watch "few hours top" he said, as he grabbed his white jumper, "why you wearing that" asked Jeremie as he stood up and stretched his arm, "got that studio time today" said Dallas as he put his jumper on "oh yeah why didn't you mention" asked Jeremie, as he changed his own blue jumper for one that was exactly the same "because I didn't need to bother anyone" said Dallas, as he straightened out his jumper "what cd you taking" asked Jeremie, as he knelt down to floorboard "I've written something original for this" said Dallas, as he grabbed his wings and placed them over his jumper, and then grabbed his folded jacket and placed it under the crossbow sling "what if XANA attacks" asked Jeremie, Dallas then held out his phone "don't worry, but if he does he's getting the rough end of it" said Dallas, then he opened the door, "besides I'm not off til later" he added, as he exited the room, but was knocked down, by Adam who he also took down "watch where you going dumbass" said Adam, as he staged back to his feet, Dallas then with the help of Jeremie was back on his feet "you ran into me" said Dallas, as he grabbed his jacket, when he noticed his book had fallen from the pocket, Adam went to pick it up, Dallas then nodded to Jeremie who then threw his crossbow to Dallas, Adam then opened the book "Might I suggest that's one book you don't read" said Dallas aiming his crossbow at Adam, the latter then dropped the book, "now pass it here" said Dallas, as Adam kicked it towards Dallas who then knelt down and picked it up "Fuck you asshole" said Adam, Dallas then smiled and said "better watch your mouth sunshine", then Adam started to move backwards then he turned and ran away "you've really got to put a lock on that" said Jeremie, Dallas then put his crossbow next to his bed "nah that would damage the gold I've written" replied Dallas, then he and Jeremie left the room.
Ulrich was standing by the vending machines, he wasn't with Odd has he was back in their room feeding Kiwi, Ulrich however couldn't stop thinking about one thing, and one thing only, every time he closed his eyes, he would remember that moment, the moment that Yumi kissed him, he was confused about what that might have meant, did she truly like him like that, he didn't know what to do, he was certain of his feelings but was unsure if he should have told her at the time, and he wasn't sure if she knew, after that prank that Sissi had pulled, he was unsure if she even remembered, he just leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes letting the early sun shine onto his face whilst feeling the cool breeze
"hey Ulrich" said Yumi catching Ulrich off-guard, who then fell over and because no one was paying attention, he got up in the blink of an eye "hey Yumi" he said, scratching the back of his head "Ulrich listen about, what happened on Lyoko" said Yumi, Ulrich knew this was coming "Yumi I understand it was a onetime thing, I know we should be just friends" said Ulrich trying to cover his tear's "Ulrich" said Yumi placing her hand on his shoulder "no Yumi it's fine, I understand" said Ulrich, Yumi didn't know what to say, then Odd walked over "back Ulrich, oh hey Yumi" he said not noticing the later at first "well Kiwi's fed, and where's Einstein and Dallas" asked Odd, Ulrich looked around trying to avoid eye contact with Yumi "I dunno haven't seen them since last night" said Jeremie, then they noticed them walk over "morning gang" said Dallas, as he walked over to the vending machines, before Jeremie raised his hand and a can came out "that's stealing" said Yumi, then Dallas opened the can "hey I deserve this after the shit I go through for you people" said Dallas, then another popped out and he threw it to Jeremie "so I hear you got studio time today" said Yumi, Dallas looked at her, before finishing his can and crunching it "yeah, bit nervous to be honest" said Dallas, then he threw his empty can into a bin "you don't look it" said Odd, Dallas laughed slightly "I have a tendency not to show it" replied Dallas, Jeremie looked at him "well you sleep better than I do" he said, Dallas then rubbed Jeremie's hair "well considering you're up most nights" said Dallas, then the bell went to signify the start of lessons "see you later Yumi" said Odd, as he and Jeremie started walking towards their class room, Dallas stopped "hey Ulrich you coming" he asked, Ulrich then turned and looked at Yumi as she walked away before catching up with the others.
English was again as usual boring; Dallas had slept through most of it, and the following science class wasn't much of an improvement, and it was now break so the warriors had some time to relax, before their final two lessons
"bloody hell" said Odd, as he clicked his hands, "Odd I never thought you could get exhausted from writing" said Jeremie as he sat down on the bench "yeah Odd" said Ulrich, Odd then looked at his friends as they tried their hardest not to laugh at him, he then decided to change the subject "Dallas when's you're studio time" he asked, Dallas looked at him "literally after next class" said Dallas, then he smiled, he still wanted to remain small time, but he needed something to keep him preoccupied, "Dallas said he's goanna go entirely new for the studio" said Jeremie, as Yumi walked over "oh hey Yumi" he added, Ulrich again avoiding eye contact with Yumi looked at Dallas "well lets here something" he said, Dallas raised his arms as if to say no "come on" said Yumi, Dallas still didn't want to but gave in, "alright, look, yo', yo', your style is generic mine's authentic made, I roll like a renegade you need clinic aid, my techniques bizarre an ill I scar and kill, you were a star until I served you like a bar and grill, now I proceed to cook and grill ya, that's all it took to kill ya you better recognize me like I look familiar, you wanna battle? You beat around the bush like you scared to lick pussy so eat around the tush I need a clown to push, someone I can bully, wait a minute I don't think you understand fully, see me without a style is like mustard without the Heinz I lead a new school, you're a buster without the Rhymes, I'll crush the shit outta your lines" said Dallas, then Odd joined in "now I'm the rashiki smoking the lik liki 10 freaky girls inside the chin tiki" they said then Ulrich and Jeremie joined in "girl when you see me you better believe me this aint a game and pimpin aint easy" then Yumi joined in "anything goes when it comes to hoes, I'm the king pin when it comes to flows, you better ask someone if you don't know when you see me girl say 'what up dogg', 10 freaky girl's 10, 10, 10 freaky girl's" then they finished "damn we need another performance" said Dallas, as he clap, clap hug snapped Ulrich and Jeremie "still don't see how you got studio time" said Adam, watching with Sissi, Nicholas and Herb with him, Dallas used his arm to block Odd, but it made no use "because unlike you he's talented" said Odd, Adam then threw down his bag "You wanna go bitch" said Adam, as he stepped towards Odd, Dallas then stepped forward towards Adam "leave him alone" said Dallas, but Adam pushed him away, before going towards Odd, he then grabbed him and punched him in the face, knocking him down, Ulrich and Yumi then jumped Adam as Jeremie helped up Odd, Dallas then grabbed his crossbow off the bench and aimed it at Adam's face "there's a hundred reasons I shouldn't pull the trigger, right now I can't think of one" said Dallas, Adam then closed his eye's preparing for the bolt, it didn't come he opened his eye's then he felt the stock of the crossbow strike him clean in the nose knocking him down, "what the fuck" asked Adam as Nicholas helped him "what did you do that for" asked Nicholas, Dallas smiled "I thought of a reason" he said, as he looked back at the mark on Odd's face "so Ulrich dear" started Sissi, Dallas then rolled his eyes as if to say 'here we go' then he looked back "are you doing anything tonight" asked Sissi, Ulrich then thought for a moment "yeah, he's coming to my studio time" said Dallas, quickly covering for his friend "can I come" asked Sissi, Dallas smiled and said most enthusiastically "no", Sissi was shocked "why" she demanded to know, "because I said so" replied Dallas, then the bell rang "Let's go" said Herb as he tried to stop the conflict, but Adam wasn't having it he then tried to throw another punch at anyone he could hit, but this was blocked by Dallas, who then twisted his arm around, before throwing him backwards, "I think we should head off to are lesson" said Jeremie turning his head from the bruise on Odd's face.
On Lyoko, Aelita was using one of Jeremie's programs to learn about the real world, she looked as the data moved down the blue screen just as fast as Jeremie could type, she didn't miss a single detail that was moving along the screen, she was amazed by the things that the real world had to offer, but she knew that there was still sometime before that was going to happen, meanwhile outside numerous vibrations started moving from the ice sector where she was towards the way tower, and it then moved towards the activated tower situated in the mountain sector, Aelita then heard the growls that represented the Vibrations
"XANA" she said with the look of fear on her face, she then walked towards the wall of the tower and poked her head out, then she noticed several blocks where mobilising, then one turned and shot at her, she quickly moved back into the tower, and then she looked at the wall which then became transparent suddenly, she then noticed how the blocks moved towards each pole of the tower, then the side eyes of the blocks fired a circular beam into the others essentially making a coil, Aelita didn't know what to make off it, she then sat down crossed legged, then she tried to contact Jeremie "Jeremie" she said, "Jeremie" she repeated, then she thought for a moment "he's not goanna like it but I'll have to try direct contact" she said, before concentrating and begging the link.
Having now finished the lessons for the day, Jeremie, Odd, Ulrich and Dallas emerged from their final class, Odd was still exhausted but Jeremie however felt no sign of any contact
"well I'm just going to get my jacket then I'm off" said Dallas, as he started to walk away, Ulrich shook his head "I'm goanna head over to the factory, so Sissi won't bother me" said Ulrich as he moved towards the forest, "just me and you then Jeremie" said Odd, as he patted his friend on the shoulder, whilst Dallas entered his room he put down his crossbow and grabbed his folded up jacket from his bed, and he then locked the door, and left double checking to make sure Adam wasn't going to try and steal his book again, once satisfied he moved on and then exited the building waving to his friends as he entered the garage, he then opened the door, before stepping over to the main door and opening it, then he stepped over towards his bike and inserted the key, the engine then rumbled to life, he then moved forward out of the garage, before riding off the school premises, Jim and some of the other staff where mesmerized by the speed that Dallas had chosen to use, which was going to get him a Stern look when he got back, Jeremie and Odd looked as their friend rode away, before Yumi walked over "hey Yumi, shouldn't you be going home" asked Odd, Yumi shook her head and replied "no actually, I'm home alone for the rest of the weekend and I was wondering where Ulrich is" Odd and Jeremie where confused "he's at the factory" said Jeremie, Yumi was confused "why" she asked "Sissi" replied Odd, Yumi was then shocked "what" she exclaimed "yeah he's hiding from her" said Jeremie, this then calmed down Yumi as she had mis understood "Oh I thought that he… um never mind" replied Yumi, wiping the sweat from her forehead "Yumi where you getting worried their" asked Jeremie, possibly for the first time in his life prodding in on someone's love life "no" she said starting to blush, then Jeremie and Odd raised their eyebrows suggestively.
Dallas arrived at the studio, he kicked the stand on his bike, before stepping off of it, and he walked to the front doors of the building, looking in through the glass doors, that then slid open, he took off his jacket and walked forward, he then stopped at the main desk that was being run by a fairly young man who was in his 20's wearing a suit he obviously didn't want to be wearing, as he was lacking the tie and the top buttons where undone
"My name's Dallas Marshal, Mr Shinoda is expecting me" said Dallas to the worker, who then looked up from his screen "third room on the left" he said, Dallas looked at him as he looked back down at his screen, "thanks" said Dallas as he walked away, before turning down the corridor until he found the 3rd door on the left he knocked on it "yeah" said a voice, then Dallas entered to see a fairly skinny man with a black beard and hair underneath a cap "Mr Shinoda I presume" said Dallas, then the fairly thin man stepped forward "yeah, Marshal right" he asked, Dallas noticed that this was becoming a common thing of people referring to him by his last name, he noticed Shinoda had a small beard "yeah it's Dallas, Marshal is my last name" said Dallas as Shinoda shook his hand "yeah, sorry sit down I'll be with you in a moment" he said, Dallas then turned around to see a sofa that was in the corner of the room 3 other teens where sitting in the corner all of them where dark skinned, the first of the three had his hair in corn rolls the second had short hair, just enough so it looked like it was placed on his head, the third was slightly more built up with a bald head and a cap on, Dallas knew the type and from the one glance he had, he knew not to look again, but this told him what he needed to know, they were roughly 17 maybe older, and the way they talked they knew each other
"what the fuck you doing" asked a voice, Dallas stopped dazing he turned to his right looking at the three "who me" asked Dallas just in case he was mistaken "yeah, what the fuck you doing" the one with the corn rolls asked "well I'm waiting to hopefully get some studio time" replied Dallas, the three of them then laughed "you gotta beat us" said the bald one who then started laughing "and should I know who you are" asked Dallas as he noticed Shinoda was setting up four booths "we're the mother fuckin new order" said the one who had not previously spoken, who had more or less made himself the leader of the small group "just what I needed" said Dallas, as he leant back into his chair and closed his eyes, then he felt something grab his neck, "what" asked Dallas, he didn't open his eyes just carrying on his strong and silent act "open your fuckin eyes when I talk to you" said the leader, Dallas still didn't "hey what's going on here" asked Shinoda, as he exited the booth the leader then let go before backing away from Dallas, "sorry didn't mention, but this is a behind closed doors audition" said Shinoda.
At the factory Ulrich had grabbed his sports gear which consisted off some light black tracksuit bottoms with same coloured vest, he was bare foot and was armed with his hidden blade, which stood out like a sore thumb as he wasn't wearing anything to cover his up was using the spare time to get some exercise, one thing he wanted was to try and increase his speed without the help of supersprint, he had been at it for a few hours, and his skin was shinny with sweat, but he was seeing some positive results in the increase of his speed, he stopped for a moment to take a drink when he realised that his drink was on the other side of the factory, but luckily it was just a short distance as he was at the wall adjacent from the entrance, he decided to take the short cut this time, he started walking towards his bag, then he noticed that it started to move, he quickly extended his blade, before walking slowly towards it, then his water bottle began to float from it and then it began to move towards him
"real funny Yumi" said Ulrich as he grabbed the bottle before drinking from it, then he noticed Yumi was standing at the entrance to the factory, she then grabbed a rope and slid down to be on the same floor as Ulrich, the latter then chucked his water bottle towards the rest of his stuff, "Ulrich, can we talk" asked Yumi, Ulrich looked at her confused "about what" asked Ulrich, Yumi then looked at him confused "well I don't know what to say" said Yumi, Ulrich looked back at her confused at what she meant, then she took a deep breath and kissed Ulrich like she had on Lyoko, "I'm not upset about anything" said Ulrich, Yumi then placed her arms around Ulrich's head "I know" she said before kissing him again, Ulrich was confused he thought it was a onetime thing, but this he wasn't complaining, but he pulled away "Yumi" he said, Yumi then looked into his brown eyes, and he back into her black eyes "yes Ulrich" replied Yumi, he then somehow found the guts to say what he wanted to "I thought, you didn't want something like this" he said, Yumi then laughed and smiled "I was wrong" she said, before kissing him again, he then pulled away "hold on, I'm all sweaty" said Ulrich, even though he knew this would ruin the moment, Yumi smiled then she placed her hand to her forehead and then her sports bag floated down "let's make that both of us" said Yumi, before picking up her sports bag and walking behind the elevator.
Back at the school Odd and Jeremie were sitting in the cafeteria Odd was eating his and Jeremie's dinner, because for some reason Jeremie didn't enjoy eating a lot
"I wonder where Yumi went" asked Odd, Jeremie looked up from his laptop and shrugged his shoulders "I dunno" he replied, before looking at the screen, it was all blurry and he couldn't make heads or tails of it "I dunno what on earth is with this at the moment" he said, then Odd looked at the screen "has it done that before" asked Odd, before looking at Jeremie "no, it has the best antivirus software available" said Jeremie, then he closed it down "I'm going to check in my room" said Jeremie, Odd then looked at his plate "I'm coming I'm not going to be on my own" he said, before Jeremie placed his laptop in his bag, "do you know what it could be" asked Odd as they left the building, Jeremie smiled and said "not a clue, but it's something to do I suppose" said Jeremie, then they entered the dorm building.
On Lyoko Aelita was still trapped inside the tower, she looked around the transparent walls noticing the blocks and what they were doing
"well I've got only one chance" said Aelita, then she stood back towards the edge of the platform before running through the wall, this caught the blocks off guard as she ducked and ran underneath their beams, when suddenly in the real world Jeremie fell down
"Jeremie" said Odd, who instantly knelt down "it's Aelita" said Jeremie before his eye began to flash "she's in trouble" said Jeremie as he staggered back to his feet, whilst on Lyoko the four blocks started chasing Aelita and started shooting at her, but they continued to miss her.
Back at the studio, Dallas sat down and looked through his book as the 'new order' where talking with Shinoda, Dallas knew he was a 3to1 disadvantage they were a small group he was but one man, although he could summon up energy and couldn't die but he wasn't' exactly going to give that away for some record deal, then he noticed that they were still looking at him
"hey yo, Dallas you're up after them" said Shinoda, as 'new order' stepped into three of the booths, Dallas realised that they wouldn't remove their eyes from him, he then laid back on the sofa, before falling asleep.
"Wake up" Dallas then leant forward, his eyes blurry but this quickly ended he noticed it was Shinoda who had awoken him "you're up kid" said Shinoda, Dallas quickly checked his pockets and found his book, he breathed out knowing that they hadn't taken it, he then stepped forward towards one of the booths, but was stopped "don't even try it" said the leader, Dallas let this threat brush over, as stopped 'the new order' thought he was giving in, but Dallas then walked over towards the mixing controls, and pressed the eject button and then a tray slid out, Dallas then reached into another of his pockets and pulled out a cd case and then placed the cd in the tray, "when I give the signal press play" said Dallas as he walked towards the booth again "a cd doesn't this piece of shit use an mp3 player" said the one with the cap, "I like the old ways" said Dallas as he stepped into the booth, he then looked at the mike and then put on the headphones, the then put his thumb up and Shinoda hit play and the music started
"Cause sometimes you just feel tired, Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse." 'The new order' looked at him thinking that he had given in "Till I collapse I'm spilling these raps long as you feel 'em Till the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing them 'Cause when I am not then I'ma stop pinning 'em And I am not hip-hop and I'm just not killing them. Subliminal thoughts when I'm stop sending them women are caught in webs spin and hock venom Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illing to stop. Amoxicillin is just not real enough. The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling a minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners. You're coming with me, feel it or not you're gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us. You hear it a lot, lyrics that shock is it a miracle or am I just a product of pop fizzing up. For shizzel my wizzel this is the plot listen up you bizzels forgot slizzel does not give a fuck" sung Dallas taking them all off guard then his voice went slightly deeper as he sang "Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out. Am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse. Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out. Am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse" then his voice changed back "Music is like magic there's a certain feeling you get when you're real And you spit and people are feeling your shit. This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it 'cause you may never get it again. So while you're in it try to get as much shit as you can And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end. 'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in. I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in. It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me. But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I'm not put on this list the shit does not offend me. That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me. Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me. You hate it but you know respect you've got to give me the press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me." Then his voiced again went deeper "Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out. Am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse. Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out. Am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse" then his voice went back again "Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MC's heart What is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart. And it's absurd how people hang on every word. I'll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve But I'll never be served my spot is forever reserved If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first. 'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse. That's why I'm clever when I put together every verse My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I'm an addict I rap like I'm addicted to smack like I'm Kim Mathers. But I don't want to go forth and back in constant battles The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers. So this is like a full blown attack I'm launching at them The track is on some battling raps who want some static 'Cause I don't really think that the fact that I'm Slim matters A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest. So..." and for one last time his voice went deeper again "Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out. Am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse. Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out Till my legs give out, can't shut my mouth. Till the smoke clears out. Am I high? Perhaps I'ma rip this shit till my bones collapse" then as the music was coming to an end in his normal singing voice he sang "Until the roof, the roof comes off Until my legs Give out from underneath me" then as the music began to die down he finished with "I will not fall, I will stand tall, feels like no one can beat me" before repeating himself, then the music ended as it died down, Dallas then removed the headphones before stepping out of the booth to a clapping Shinoda "hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about" he said as he patted Dallas on the back, 'the new order' looked at him rather angrily.
In his room Jeremie looked on the computer screen and began typing until he made contact
"Aelita, Aelita can you hear me" said Jeremie as Odd stood next to him, whilst on Lyoko as Aelita ran she head his familiar voice "Jeremie XANA has launched an attack" she said, Jeremie looked back at Odd, "we haven't seen anything in the real world" said Jeremie, then Odd flicked the switch on the tv that sat next to the computer before grabbing the remote and changing the channel to the news "again, four fuel tankers where today stolen by a small group of men in a mismatch of clothes" then a series of images were being shown and then Jeremie and Odd noticed that they were spectres and one of them looked like a younger Agnew, luckily no one was harmed in the theft" said the news reader, Odd then turned off the tv, "okay, we'll phone the others and get them to the factory" said Jeremie, as he pulled out his phone "you phone Dallas and tell him to remain on standby just in case" said Jeremie.
At the factory, Ulrich was still barefoot as he and was practicing Silat with Yumi, he wasn't trying to beat her, far from it
"Ulrich are you even trying" asked Yumi, as she threw a kick, Ulrich then dodged "not really" said Ulrich, then he caught Yumi off guard taking her down, she then took him down and he landed on her, they then both laughed at this before they kissed "were not going to tell anyone are we" said Ulrich as he rolled next to Yumi "not at the moment" said Yumi as she looked at him, then they heard Ulrich's phone ring, Ulrich went and answered it "Jeremie not a good time…" he started "Ulrich it's a XANA attack, are you still at the factory" said Jeremie, "yeah" he replied "good tell Yumi to meet us their" said Jeremie, then he hung up, Ulrich then turned to Yumi "it's a XANA attack" said Ulrich as he in a flash changed into his regular attire "I'll get changed" said Yumi, then to tease Ulrich she removed her shirt, allowing him to see her bra as she walked away and back towards her clothes.
Aelita had taken refuge in another tower, but the blocks had already coiled it and she knew they were ready for her to make a run so she was trapped, whilst in Jeremie's room, Jeremie looked on his computer trying to trace the fuel tankers, then he smiled and phoned Dallas
"Dallas are you their" he asked, meanwhile at the studio Dallas was talking with Shinoda whilst 'the new order' stood at the door, Dallas then felt his phone vibrate "hang on" he said before stepping away and answering it "yeah Jeremie" asked Dallas, as he held the phone to his ear "it's a XANA attack, he's hijacked some fuel trucks and now I've located their position their a mile north of you" said Jeremie, Dallas looked at Shinoda "return to the past" he asked, Jeremie then remembered "yeah" said Jeremie, Dallas then hung up before walking towards the door, then he noticed that 'the new order' were standing their "outta my way" said Dallas as he put on his leather jacket trying to get through "not until you back out" said the leader, Dallas knew he would have a second chance but he didn't wanna seem weak non the same "No" he said, then he was pushed back into the room by the one wearing the cap, Dallas knew it was on, he then knocked his arms up before rugby tackling him into his gut his left arm, before swinging round and elbowing the bold one in the face with his right arm, before shoving him into the door, Dallas then shook his head before walking out of the room, the other 2 noticed this and then whistled and another member of their group appeared, Dallas then ran towards them, he then jumped and kicked the new one in the stomach knocking him down, the corn roll one then threw a punch, which Dallas blocked with his right arm, before swinging around with his left arm punching him in the face, suddenly another member of the group came at him with a fire extinguisher, Dallas then ducked slightly before punching this new one in the gut causing him to drop the fire extinguisher, Dallas then swung him around until his head smashed into the wall cracking it, he then walked out of the building, when he noticed the leader running away, Dallas then manifested eagle sense and discharged some at him knocking him down, Dallas then sat on his bike, and kicked the stand before riding off.
Jeremie and Odd exited the sewers outside the factory and quickly ran across the bridge towards the entrance when they noticed Ulrich and Yumi
"hurry up" said Ulrich, as Jeremie and Odd slid down the ropes, then they entered the elevator "where's Dallas" asked Ulrich, Jeremie turned to him as he pressed the button "he's intercepting" replied Jeremie as the elevator descended "intercepting what" asked Yumi, Jeremie rolled his eyes "I'll explain later" he said, as the door opened to the computer room, the door then closed again as he sat down, the elevator then descended to the scanner room when it stopped allowing the doors to open, whilst in the computer room Jeremie's chair arrived at the computer screen, whilst below in the scanner room Ulrich, Odd and Yumi stepped into the scanners "transfer Odd, transfer Ulrich, Transfer Yumi" said Jeremie, then their ID cards appeared and began to lighten up "Scanner Odd, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Yumi" said Jeremie as in the scanners the three began to spin and rise "virtualization" said Jeremie, as the three suddenly felt the blast of air that sent them to Lyoko, their blue square outlines then appeared in the sky, then they dropped to ground in the ice sector, "I can't find Aelita, she was last seen south of your position" said Jeremie, the Lyoko warriors looked at each other "let's go then" said Odd, then they started moving south.
Dallas arrived at the location that Jeremie had vaguely told him, the area was atop a mountain and whilst the group of spectres were located in an empty parking lot, Dallas was situated on a small hill that over looked them they were armed to the teeth with an assortment of guns, he looked carful, most of the weapons where either sub machine guns or a hand gun alongside the trucks which where 1987 Kenworth W-900's there was a 1985 Monte Carlo, a 1976 jeep CJ-7 and a 1986 dodge ram
"okay that's easy" said Dallas as he loaded his sawn off, then he noticed the main spectre, which looked like Agnew, but had black hair and was short and lacking the side burns, pull out a case, which when he opened Dallas noticed two stingers "ah shit" said Dallas, then the young Agnew looked Dallas's way, Dallas quickly ducked down and breathed "I don't think he saw me" said Dallas as he looked forward at his bike, when it exploded sending shards of metal towards him they just missed him, Dallas started breathing heavily, he then looked back at the spectres and he sheathed his sawn off on his back
"move" said the young Agnew as he put away one of the launchers, then four jumpsuit wearing spectres jumped into the trucks whilst another 4 spectres jumped into the CJ-7 and moved along with the trucks whilst Young Agnew and another spectre got in the Monte Carlo, "fuck" said Dallas, then he ran along the small hill then he jumped onto the last of the trucks tankers the CJ-7 had already gone ahead and was currently third in the convoy whilst the ram was stalling with engine troubles, Dallas landed on his chest then the young Agnew leaned out of the passenger window of the Monte Carlo holding an Uzi, he then started shooting at Dallas, the first of the bullets hit him clean in the foot, he then fell onto the right side of the trucks tanker, holding onto the handle bars at the top, the young Agnew kept on shoot trying to hit his hand, but Dallas clambered back on top off the tanker and then quickly on all fours hurried across the top of the tanker, before dolphin diving into the coupling of the tanker, unfortunately he missed time this and as he fell a stray bullet hit him in the neck causing him to fall, and grab onto the rear of the truck itself, his right foot just missing being run over, the young Agnew then started shooting again, Dallas quickly healed the wound in his neck, as the bullets from the Uzi ricocheted of the tanker, the driver of the truck looked back only to look forward again when a bullet nearly hit him, Dallas quickly moved from the rear axle to the side of the truck holding onto a handle bar, "move" said the young Agnew to his driver, whilst Dallas quickly moved into the cab, the driver looked at him before pulling a very sharp knife on him, the spectre quickly swung the knife at Dallas slashing his face, then he lunged at Dallas who moved backwards and then slammed the spectres head into the back of the cab, causing it to drop the knife, Dallas then unsheathed his sawn-off and shot the spectre, Dallas then opened the door, and kicked the spectre out, unfortunately it grabbed hold of his right sleeve and as it fell out it tore the sleeve right off the jacket, "again" said Dallas upon noticing the damage, the spectre had fallen onto the Monte Carlo that was now moving side by side with it, the young Agnew then shot the spectre with the gun, before the driver leaned out of the vehicle and pulled the body off of the bonnet, the Monte Carlo, then pulled ahead Agnew then looked back and pulled out a radio and pressed a button "he has fallen into the trap" he said, then the monte Carlo sped ahead.
On Lyoko the three Warriors were searching for Aelita, Ulrich was running trying not to waste his strength in the process
"Aelita" shouted Odd with his hands to his mouth "Aelita" shouted Yumi doing the same but with only one hand, and then they noticed the tower with the blocks around it "Jeremie do you see this" asked Yumi, then Jeremie looked to see "what are they doing" asked Ulrich Jeremie then recognized what they were doing "it's a coil" said Jeremie, Odd and Ulrich looked at each other "it's stopping Aelita's signals" said Jeremie, then Odd and Ulrich understood, "so destroy it" said Jeremie, Odd raised his eyebrows and then raised his arm and said "laser arrow" and fired at one of the blocks destroying it and the coil the three remaining blocks then looked around confused at what was going on "Jeremie what are they doing" asked Yumi, as she looked at them "XANA's too weak, he's in a spectre right now" said Jeremie, then Aelita ran out of the tower "Jeremie where's the activated tower" asked Ulrich, then it hit Jeremie "oh shit forgot to launch the scan" he said then he started typing "Aelita get them to the way tower" said Jeremie then he launched the scan "this way" said Aelita, then they started moving towards the way tower "Yumi you look less stressed" said Aelita, Yumi then remembered she had been talking to Aelita being they were the only girls in the group "Aelita not now" said Yumi, Aelita didn't understand but she didn't say anything.
The Monte Carlo drove up to the next tanker, Agnew then leaned out of the window and shouted at the driver of the tanker
"don't let him get past" then the monte Carlo sped forward, Dallas was catching up in his tanker, but the one in front of him then turned and blocked him off, Dallas turned and then was blocked again, Dallas then pushed the gear stick forward and started to accelerate he then started to overtake the tanker, when another vehicle was coming at him head on, Dallas slammed the breaks and narrowly dodge the oncoming vehicle, the driver of the jeep he just missed was confused, meanwhile up ahead the CJ-7 had stopped and then the monte Carlo stopped next to it and Agnew stepped out "you know what to do" he said as he opened the boot of the monte Carlo and then handed the lead spectre from the jeep a launched and a missile, before pointing backwards towards where Dallas would soon be coming from, whilst Dallas pulled back the gear stick sending it into the next gear and then began to accelerate next to the other tanker until he was now level with it, he looked left to see the other driver who looked back at him, the spectre then turned trying to swerve Dallas off the narrow road, but Dallas kept his edge and turned back, the spectre then pulled down his radio "he's the truck on your left, the one of the left" he said the lead spectre smiled "Okay" he said before signalling for one off the other spectres to bring him the launcher forward, whilst the spectre driver then swerved again, the only thing this succeeded in doing was bending his front bumper, Dallas then turned and kept on turning until he smashed the other truck into the cliff, causing it ride up the wall a but before it began to topple and get squashed causing the front axle to come off as well as the bonnet, Dallas then carried on driving forward "two down" said Dallas, as he looked in the rear view mirror and saw the spectre exit his crashed truck to inspect the damage, Dallas then looked forward to see the CJ-7 spectres, then he noticed the launcher "shit" said Dallas, the spectre smiled as the launcher made the lock on sound, Dallas then used eagle sight and looked at the launcher, he then heard the beeping, then he started to drive towards a flatbed truck with a ramp, and getting just half the truck onto the ramp, he started to wheelie, then the spectre fired the missile it missed Dallas, but carried on moving until the spectre of the recently crashed truck noticed it, and it was too late for him as the missile struck the truck causing a massive explosion which engulfed the spectre, destroying him, the CJ-7 spectres looked at this, then they noticed that Dallas was still wheeling towards them, one of the four then pulled his revolver and shot, the bullet struck Dallas in the head, he then shot forward hitting his eye on the steering wheel and then the truck stopped wheeling onto their vehicle smashing it to pieces, Dallas leant back, he felt the blood from his head dribble down and onto his swollen eye, then he noticed the truck was still moving, the CJ-7 spectres looked at each other before the lead one pulled out his mp5k and shot the one who had shot Dallas in the forehead then he and the other two started shooting at the tanker hitting the back tire's popping them.
In the Lab Jeremie looked at the computer screen when the scan found the tower
"guys the tower is in the Mountain sector" said Jeremie, on Lyoko the warriors where standing inside the way tower's a blue screen appeared and Aelita placed her hand on it and then it read AELITA and then MOUNTAIN SECTOR, then they all jumped down into the black void, their falling soon felt like floating as they reached the other platform, they landed on it before exiting the tower into the mountain sector, Aelita then felt the vibrations "this way" she said point east, she then started running that way, "what was she on about" asked Odd as he and the other ran after her "nothing Odd" said Yumi then Odd ran ahead after Aelita, then Ulrich asked "what did she mean" Yumi looked forward to make sure Odd couldn't hear before whispering in Ulrich's ear "well it had been eating at me not telling you" then Ulrich stopped and smiled before catching up, "remember XANA's monsters aren't strong enough, they should be easy enough" said Jeremie then the Lyoko warriors noticed that the tower was in the stone ring which meant only one entrance a long narrow path and guarding it was an armoured warrior, two crabs and some Hornets "Jeremie next time you say easy" said Odd gulping "Yeah" replied Jeremie Ulrich then looked forward his hand on his sword "don't" he said, before looking back at the others "you two cover Aelita" said Ulrich, then Yumi stepped forward "no I'll help you" said Yumi, Ulrich didn't want to argue with his new secret girlfriend "Okay" he said, he breathed then he drew his sword before handing to Yumi, "get on my back" he said, Yumi looked at him weird "what" she asked "get on my back" repeated Ulrich, Odd and Aelita looked at each other confused then Ulrich leant forward and Yumi jumped onto his back and he placed his arms around her legs she then held Ulrich's katana in one hand, and in the other was one of her hands "supersprint" shouted Ulrich, then he ran towards the monsters, Yumi felt as if she was at normal speed unlike other times that Ulrich had done this, she swung the sword striking the armoured warrior, then she threw her fan which moved slowly towards the Hornet upon leaving Yumi's hand, then she swung the sword taking on of the crabs legs off, but then everything returned to normal "Ulrich what's going on" she asked, then she looked down too see Ulrich was out of virtual breath "I'm sorry, I must have missed calculated" said Ulrich as he rushed behind cover as the remaining monsters started shooting at them "I'll draw their fire" said Ulrich as he prepared to step out, but Yumi grabbed his arm "wait" she said as she pulled him back "what" he asked, Yumi then kissed him "your good" she said, Ulrich then undid his head band and tied it around Yumi's head "hold onto it for me" he said before he ran out drawing their fire then Yumi jumped up from cover throwing her other fan destroying the Hornet, but it was too late for Ulrich he was shot down and DE virtualized "no" said Yumi as Ulrich's blue squared outline flashed out of existence.
The flat tires where slowing down Dallas's speed and was losing ground as the 3 spectres where keeping up with him, he then lost control of the vehicle and then it severed allowing the tanker to end up off the cliff, the three spectre's where getting closer shooting at Dallas, who emerged from the cab, but numerous bullets ricocheted off the side of the cab, he then moved around the other side of the cab, he then noticed that the spectres had stopped, Dallas then looked up and discharged eagle sense at the top off the cliff trying to cause numerous rocks to fall, but all that happened was a ton of dust fell on them, the weight of it knocked them down, Dallas then looked at the coupling of the truck and then pulled it and this caused the tanker to come off and then roll down the cliff, Dallas watched then noticed that the other part of the convey was about to crash into it, Agnew noticed this from the monte Carlo then he noticed that the tanker was about to crash into the second tanker in the convoy
"son of a…" he started but then the two tankers collided causing a massive explosion and the first tanker stopped, and the driver of the second got out as the fire began to consume the area, Dallas then jumped into his truck and started to drive towards them, Agnew stepped out of his car along with his driver, the second spectre walked over to him "okay, what the Fu…" he started but he was gunned down by Agnew "fucking XANA" said Dallas, as his truck got closer, but Agnew got into the last truck as the fire spread so much it now blocked the road, whilst atop of the mountain the dodge ram caught up and the CJ-7 spectres jumped into the back of the vehicle, Dallas stopped just in front of the fire, he then heard more ricocheting of bullets, he the put his foot down and drove through the fire, the ram's driver spared no waste in time and drove straight throw the fire, destroying the three spectre's in the back, the wheels had caught fire on the ram and on Dallas's truck the windshield had cracked under the heat, Dallas then drew his sawn-off and shot the window out before putting the truck into the next gear and flooring it towards the final tanker, he then climbed out of the cab and as it collided with the tanker he was thrown onto the back off it, without a driver his former truck slowed down, the ram had caught up and was now still having it's occupants shooting at him, Dallas then checked his gun, one shot left, he then aimed whilst holding onto the ladder at the back of the tanker, he aimed and pulled the trigger the Dodge Ram flipped over, the back tire had been shot out and the bare wheel had collided with a rock, causing it to flip over, "just you now XANA" said Dallas.
On Lyoko, XANA's monsters where too focused on Yumi and had forgotten about Odd and Aelita, who were now running up the path towards the tower, Aelita snuck past the crabs and entered the tower as the crabs moved forwards and shot at Yumi, hitting her with a barrage of lasers DE virtualizing her, Odd then raised his arm and shouted
"laser arrow" striking the legless crab, causing it to topple of the edge of the platform, but the other turned around and hit Odd with a barrage of lasers, whilst in the tower Aelita landed on the top platform and placed her hand on the screen which then read AELITA and then the words CODE LYOKO, the tower turned blue, "Jeremie are you goanna activate the return to the past" asked Ulrich in the computer room "not until Dallas gives us the signal" replied Jeremie, whilst in the tanker, the spectre driving it disappeared and Agnew was struck by immense pain
"No" he said as he moved over to the wheel "yes" said Dallas as he slid into the cab through the windshield, kicking Agnew in the face, Agnew then grabbed the knife stored in the truck and went to stab Dallas in the face, but as the blade was centre meters away, Dallas grabbed Agnew's arms and stopped him but Agnew was beginning to overpower him, Dallas had numerous un healed wounds, Dallas managed to push Agnew off of him allowing himself to sit up, then he noticed that the truck was about to crash and that it did.
Dallas awoke, with his wounds still unhealed, he crawled from the wreckage of the over turned tanker his jacket ripped and torn, he suddenly felt Agnew grab him, and the latter was carrying a machete, he threw Dallas back first into a nearby rock, Agnew then using the machete began to slice down Dallas's chest
"you won't stay dead, but I will enjoy killing you over and over again" said Agnew, Dallas then looked up as the light of the sun reflected off the machete into his eyes, Dallas then shot forward tackling Agnew into the leaking gasoline soaking the latter in it, but Agnew got up still stronger than Dallas, he pushed him against the rock again "that was a useless attempt" said Agnew as the gas soaked man raised the machete ready to strike "was it" asked Dallas, Agnew didn't know what he meant, until Dallas showed him Adam's lighter, which he then sparked on Agnew causing him to erupt in flames and step backwards into the rest of the gasoline, the explosion then sent Dallas flying backwards, he then stood up and pulled out his phone and phoned Jeremie "okay return to the past" he said.
the day apart from XANA's attack went the same, Dallas didn't end up in a brawl like with 'the new order' again and won himself the deal.
