Authors note
50 chapters, wow took a year longer than I'd hoped to get to this point, but it always seems that something stops me dead in my tracks, be it technical issues or personal, I always come back fighting somehow, but here we are, after that horrendous last chapter, we're back on form with what I can say I had plans for since I began this almost 3 years ago.

Ulrich inserted a coin into the coffee machine, he'd barely had any sleep as at the behest of Yumi, he'd been studying harder than he'd ever done so before, he pressed the button and grabbed his cup,
"I can't remember the equation" said Ulrich to himself as he took a gulp of his drink, "the square root of…" he said before he found himself struggling to remember what he needed to, "0" said Odd looking at the numbers on the Vending Machine, "10" he said as he looked at another, "I give up" said Odd as Ulrich started walking away having finished his drink, "hey where you going" added Odd as he grabbed his own drink, "To study for the science final, it's tomorrow remember, and I can't exactly count on you to help me" said Ulrich as he crumpled the paper cup in his hand, "You must be fucking kidding me, we'll miss lunch break" said Odd as he chuckled "and don't worry about that exam, I got a little something in mind" he added, Ulrich smiled as he turned and faced him "this little something does it start with cheat and end with Cheat by any chance" said Ulrich as he threw the crunched up cup at Odd, it bounced off his head and landed in the bin as Odd said "wow, you just read my mind", Ulrich rolled his eyes and said "forget about your dumb plan", he started walking away, "Wow thanks for being supportive" said Odd as he threw his empty cup into the bin, suddenly Sissi rushed over and for once wasn't 100% interested in Ulrich, "I'm really knocked out, bet you can't guess why" she said all hyper, "Dallas finally gave up and punched you in the face" said Odd, Ulrich began to chuckle as she turned to look at Odd, "Um no, now listen to this, my father said it was okay to use the gymnasium" she said still hyper, Odd was suddenly no longer irritated by her presence, "he said yes" asked Odd not believing it, Sissi nodded and Odd raised his arms in excitement and said "Yes, I gotta find William" and just hearing that made Ulrich walk away, Sissi was still excited and twirled as she said "it's gonna be the dance party of the century".

Dallas was writing his book, he'd barely found the time to do so over the past few weeks, he had been studying for the exams, although not entirely by choice, the woods where rough to sleep in and rooming with Jeremie had its downsides, he looked at his book and a blank space,
"spitting fire and mike, gotta melt the dryer he's hot" he said to himself as he wrote it in, on an already covered page, "So you heard" said Cameron as he snuck up on Dallas, "heard what" he replied as he closed his book and looked behind him, "the head gave the okay to the party" said Cameron as he moved over the bench and sat down next to him, "yeah I heard" said Dallas as he looked forward, "come on tell me you're gonna preform" said Cameron as he leaned in at a comfortable distance, "yeah I might do" said Dallas smiling and thinking about it, "it'll be great been a while since you last did anything like this" said Cameron as he stood up and began walking away, "you're on that fucking committee ain't ya shorty" said Dallas as he watched Cameron walk away, "YEP" Cameron shouted back at him, Dallas just chuckled as he stood up and grabbed his crossbow.

Yumi sat at home, sitting on her bed she want to spend time with the others but at the same time she knew they had to study so she knew it was best to leave them to their study's or in Odd's case lack off such, she laid back starting to feel slightly ill, she heard her phone vibrate and looked to her side, she raised her ready to move it with her mind, but she remembered something and instead leant forward and grabbed it before pressing the home button and looked at the text, Has he been told, Yumi quickly closed her phone and stood up, she grabbed her bag and exited her house shouting,
"I'M HEADING OUT" but she doubted anyone was listening or paying attention.
(=======================================================================)
Unlike Delmas who had finally agreed to the party, Jim was still adamant about the whole affair and was strict on everyone who was setting up the gym, he blew his whistle,
"You take those matts into the storage room" said Jim as Dallas grabbed the heavy matts and carried them on his back away, "You push that volt horse against the wall" said Jim as he whistled at a girl with dark skin and black curly hair that had been dyed red in some areas but not entirely, William was carrying the record mixer, but was caught off guard by another of Jims whistles and dropped it, luckily Jim didn't notice but the machine was broken the centre board popped out and numerous circuits were broken one of the record players fingers (Honestly what the fuck is that thing) had broken off, William quickly tried fitting it back into position, "So it's true that the principal gave the Techno party the green light" asked Odd as he moved to William "looks like it yeah" said William as he threw down the finger (I'm confused what do I call that thing), "Wow smoking huh, all the best DJ's from all the local schools will be here, it's gonna be a blast" said Odd, William looked up at him and said "we're not blasting anything, the mixing bored is fucked", he quickly tried putting two incompatible circuits together, but they didn't fit, "I can't figure out how to fix it" said William as he stood up but was smacked on the back by Odd, "hey, no problem we'll ask Jeremie he's mister fix it, he can fix anything" said Odd, William smiled with a glimmer of hope, "you think so" he asked, Odd smiled and said "yeah".
(=======================================================================)
"No" said Jeremie as he continued typing on his computer, "I got better things to do with my time, than play around with a mixing board" he said as he finished in one window and began typing in another, Aelita lowered her magazine and said "maybe I can help", Odd looked at her with enthusiasm and said "would you", Jeremie however didn't approve "what about the research for your anti-virus" asked Jeremie, Aelita closed and the magazine and stood up, "I'm just watching you at this stage" she said, Odd was happy and said "great come on" and Aelita followed him out of the room, "It's in the bag" said Odd, Jeremie groaned at this.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita quickly screwed a circuit board back into its proper position
"So this is the thing that makes the music" asked Aelita, Odd smiled as William looked down as he was scared what'd happen if it was broken, "Yep you play the records on the turntable, the board mixes one song with another, the trick is to synchronise the sound" said Odd as he moved some of the switches, "Interesting" she said in amazement, William was starting to have doubts about Aelita's ability "doesn't sound like you know a lot about it, will it take much longer" he asked, Aelita stepped away, "no I'm done" she said with glee, William smiled and asked "Mind if I give it a try", there were no objections, he turned around and grabbed a record, Stevie Wonder Superstition, he quickly plugged in the headphones and pressed the button placing the record on the turntable, he prayed as there was silence at first but suddenly he could hear the sound, "Hey its working" he said with a massive smile on his face, "Aelita fantastic" he said as he took off the headphones before handing them to her "you wanna try" he asked, she smiled and said "why not", quickly placing it to her ear, she lowered one switch and raised another suddenly the music came blasting from the speaks, Aelita felt natural with the mixing board and began to create sounds people hadn't heard before, everyone who had been helping move stuff in the gym stopped and began to dance slightly to the music, "wow, I've never been able to get that kind of mix" Said William in amazement, suddenly the music stopped as Jim flicked the fuse switch on the wall, "well hey goof offs don't mind me" said Jim as he looked at them suddenly his tone changed as he asked "Do you know what time it is by any chance" as he pointed at his wrist, "we're really sorry Jim, we were rehearsing for tomorrow night do you like techno" asked Odd as he walked back off stage to get back to work, "forget about it, electronic music" he said, he didn't enjoy it but understood others did, "Aelita" said William as he rushed up behind her, "you really mix like a pro, where'd you learn" he asked, Odd overheard and looked walked back to them as Aelita stood confused, "runs in the family, we're all artists runs in the family we're creative" said Odd coming off as self-indulgent but it worked to stop William asking questions, William looked at them confused but thought nothing off it, "I'll make a selection of LPs and you can be our DJ tomorrow night" he said, Aelita was shocked at the offer, "okay" he asked, Aelita was almost unable to speak, "you think so, well okay" she managed to answer, she quickly ran out of the room excited.
(=======================================================================)
Having returned to their jobs since Aelita had stopped playing music almost everyone who was working had nearly finished helping, unfortunately Adam was one of these people helping,
"Are you sure you secured it properly" asked the curly haired girl as she looked at a clip board, "yeah of course I fucking did" he said as he rolled his eyes, she looked at the climbing gear that stood at the side of the room which was mainly used in the centre of the room with numerous matts around it just in case anyone fell, it reached to the windows at the top of the room, when not in use it was fastened to the wall otherwise it might fall over, it wasn't heavy to move but if it fell over it could flatten anyone, she looked around making sure everyone else was doing their job, "useless shit you are" she said under her breath as Adam walked away, Dallas walked out of the storage cupboard clicking his fingers with his thumbs, "Jesus that's a tough one" he said as he shut the door behind him, suddenly due to a gust of wind the door slammed shut, the loud noise caused the rigging that held the climbing gear to open, suddenly the gear began to shake, Dallas turned around and noticed it, "RUN" he shouted the girl not knowing what he meant turned around and noticed the gear was falling towards her, she fell down as she tried moving, she closed her eyes ready to be crushed, but there was a snapping noise, she opened her eyes as Dallas had quickly jumped underneath he'd grabbed the poles that acted as a ladder and was holding it up, he'd been knocked into a crouch position and was visibly sweating from the stress, "I hate to be a pain" he said barely able to speak, he quickly jumped from the crouch position and held the gear up even more and added "but could you get a fucking move on", the girl quickly slipped away from underneath the gear, Dallas quickly moved forward and moved forward pushing it back up, the girl and others who watched help and pushed it up, Jim quickly fixed the rigging, everyone moved away once the danger was secured, Dallas sat down on a bench, looked at his hand, he noticed his pinkie and ring fingers were broken, "son of a…" he said, then suddenly there was a tearing noise, Dallas looked up and the girl who he'd saved ripped off some of her hoodie and wrapped it around his fingers and hand, "its fine, that's just a waste of a good jumper" he said laughing, she smiled at what he said, "yeah but it'd be ruined if it wasn't for you" she said laughing despite almost getting crushed, "yeah I did what I do" he said suddenly he got a head ache, "I gotta go" he said grabbing his head unable to think, the girl looked as he walked away, she was confused by his actions.
(=======================================================================)
"You're wasting your time with this party" said Jeremie as he didn't even look at Aelita, "I am not wasting my time, I'm trying to live like you guys" she replied slightly angry at Jeremie who for once wasn't being supportive "and have some fun, a good time?, that's human too isn't it" she added, Jeremie stopped typing and looked back at her, "you mean you don't have a good time researching the anti-virus with me" asked Jeremie confused, this however only pushed Aelita over the edge "you're as stubborn as a fool" she said as she stormed off, Jeremie looked at the door as she slammed it, "it's stubborn as a mule" said Jeremie as he carried on typing, meanwhile Dallas rushed into the toilets closest to the Gym making sure to lock the door behind him, his vision was blurred and shaking he looked around, he couldn't see straight as he was almost having a panic attack, he turned on a tap and as the water warmed up he placed his hands underneath and threw some boiling hot water into his face, he looked up in the mirror and noticed the girl who he'd seen before but didn't recognise standing behind him, he turned around and extended his blade, he tried flicking it before noticing he couldn't with the bandage, he looked and she was gone he looked around and no one was there,
"I'm fucking losing it" he said to himself, suddenly there was a knocking at the door "hey Dallas you in there" said Ulrich as he stood outside, Dallas looked towards the door his vision had cleared up "yeah it's me" he replied shaking his head, "you okay, some people said they saw you stumble in here almost like you were drunk" said Ulrich as Dallas unlocked the door, "yeah sorry just a killer headache" said Dallas lying, "well you got me concerned enough to stop studying" said Ulrich as he handed Dallas his flask of Coffee, "sorry" he said as he took a gulp, "its fine I needed a break" said Ulrich, Dallas suddenly noticed the girl again in a faint reflection but looked away.
(=======================================================================)
Yumi walked onto the school campus, looking around she tried to see if she could see Ulrich, but he was nowhere to be found, she walked towards the dorm building suddenly she passed Aelita,
"Hey Aelita" said Yumi before noticing that Aelita was in a slight bad mood, "oh hey Yumi" she replied still slightly upset at Jeremie, Yumi could almost immediately tell from her tone "is everything okay" asked Yumi, Aelita couldn't help but tear up as she hugged Yumi "me and Jeremie had an argument" said Aelita, Yumi placed her arms around the younger girl "it's fine, people have arguments all the time" said Yumi as Aelita moved away from the hug wiping her eyes, "do they" she asked, Yumi smiled before rubbing her hand through Aelita's hair, "Yeah they do, even me and Ulrich sometimes" said Yumi, this made Aelita smile as they walked towards the benches, "come on I'm sure he'll soon realise he's wrong" said Yumi before chuckling.
(=======================================================================)
The next day rolled around and the 10th grade students had a big test for the semester, Jeremie and Aelita were the most prepared for it, Dallas was arguably the second having been forced to listen to them, and Ulrich had been studying best he could, whilst Odd had been slacking off to do other things,
"I can't believe you didn't study at all" said Ulrich, Odd just smiled and said "like I said it's in the bag", then the five warriors noticed the massive line leading up the stairs, "Jim's up to it again" said Dallas as he looked towards Jim as he threw a bag onto a pile of them, "whats going on, can't we go in" asked Odd, Sissi turned around and looked at them, "inspection by GI Jim" she said, then they looked up as Jim said "one pen that's all you can take in", Jim quickly searched the student whose bag he just threw onto the pile, "crap" said Dallas as he rolled up his sleeves, "Jeremie need a favour" he said as he locked his blades and removed them from his wrists, "you owe me" said Jeremie as Dallas placed them in his bag, "what're you doing" asked Aelita, Dallas looked at her and said "if Jim is checking us to see if we're cheating, he'll have a field day if he finds two deadly weapons around my wrists", luckily he decided not to carry his crossbow with him that day, "that's an unexpected development" said Odd looking nervous, "Told you" said Ulrich as he patted him on the back.
(=======================================================================)
The students were sent to their classes having been checked by GI Jim, Mrs Hertz walked around placing their papers down, Dallas looked at his bandaged hand, but luckily he could write with both just not as well,
"You have two hours for chemistry and two hours for Physics, my colleagues and I will correct the exams this afternoon, and after that the results will be posted on bulletin boards around campus" said Mrs Hertzs as the students sat in silence, she looked at the clock before announcing "you may begin", everyone put their heads down and began writing on the pieces of paper in front of them, almost everyone at least, Odd had begun folding his, Jeremie, Aelita and Herb were breezing through their work almost as if it was nothing, Ulrich found himself struggling but was able to manage, Dallas was doing fine just feeing a severe amount of pain from his left hand, he couldn't let it heal but it was killing him, Sissi was drawing on her paper, she was making out a female not to dissimilar to herself but taller had longer hair and was wearing a dress, "the test is over, put your pens down and stay where you are" said Jim as he clapped his hands, everyone quickly stopped what they were doing, and pushed their papers away, "stay in your seats until I have all of them" said Jim as the papers began to pile up in his hands, Ulrich looked at Odd's work with shock on his face, "well done Odd, that's one of your best yet" said Jim as he placed Odd's paper swan on the top of the pile, Ulrich was surprised with his reaction, Jim grabbed Dallas's sheet and he clicked his fingers on his right hand with his thumb, he felt someone looking at him, but noticed Adam was in front of him, "oh no" he said under his breath as he looked at the window seeing the reflection of the girl he'd saved behind staring at him, "this can't be good" he said to himself.
(=======================================================================)
Jim carried all the papers, to the teacher's locker in the main building, he pull out his key and opened the locker and placed all the papers inside the locker,
"I wonder if Mrs Hertz will let me keep Odd's paper swan for my collection" he said to himself unbeknownst to him Adam was sneaking up behind him, Jim shut the locker and locked it, he turned around only to be thrown to the ground with tremendous force by Adam, "not one for subtlety are you little brother" said Evelyn as she moved from around the corner, "just help me will you" said Adam as the two pinned down Jim, suddenly a light switch sparked and XANA's black fluid leaked before moving towards Jim, it took control on contact, Adam and Evelyn stood up now that Jim wasn't going to give any resistance, the aforementioned was now being controlled by XANA.
(=======================================================================)
It soon turned to dusk around campus, many of students were relieved that the exam was over and had been given freedom to move around campus, Jeremie however was sat at his computer beat for once,
"I tell you it does take a lot out of you" said Jeremie, Dallas was laughing as he did sit ups on his bed, "yeah for you, but for us regular folk" he said as he stopped as his hand continued to kill, "fuckin hell" he said as he felt it, Jeremie looked at him, "shouldn't you just heal it" he asked, Dallas looked towards him, "believe me I'd like to but if I do a few people will see it as odd that my hand is normal after two fingers were snapped" he said as he grabbed an Ice pack and placed it on his hand, "surely it shouldn't hurt" asked Jeremie as he turned away from his computer, "I think since I'm fighting the healing process my body is translating that into pain" said Dallas as the ice pack numbed some of the pain, "you coming to the party tonight" said Dallas, Jeremie looked away from him, "Christ alive, you and Aelita aren't still fighting are you" he said as he stood up and walked towards Jeremie, "no we're not, I just believe it's a waste of her time" answered Jeremie, Dallas rolled his eyes and walked to the door, "I'll be back a bit later, got some business to take care off" said Dallas.
(=======================================================================)
Ulrich was just as exhausted as Jeremie was but he didn't have anything to do for the next few hours, except listen to Odd moan,
"I can't believe they passed me over as DJ" said Odd as he laid back on his bed, "well you've not exactly shown any skill beforehand" Replied Ulrich, Odd stuck his tongue out at him, "Speaking of tonight you did remember to ask Yumi didn't you" said Odd raising his eyebrows, Ulrich's eyes shot open as he realised he hadn't remembered to text her, "oh shit, oh shit" he said as he looked for his phone, he grabbed it from the side of his bed, "how did you forget" asked Odd as Ulrich quickly typed out a text that read Hey Yumi forgot to ask this earlier sorry xx, you gonna be going to the party tonight?, he quickly hit send and prayed that she wasn't angry, but he quickly got a text back sure, I guess I'll see you later, Ulrich sighed with relief, "thank god" he said, Odd couldn't stop laughing as he said "you really leave things to the last minute", Ulrich couldn't help but be annoyed.
(=======================================================================)
Aelita was in the gym, she was nervous about being the DJ, but since Jeremie wasn't talking to her, she didn't really have anyone to talk to and feel 100% comfortable with, she looked down at her feet when William walked over with a bottle of water,
"Nervous" he asked as he handed her the bottle, "thanks" she said as she took a massive gulp, "Yeah I am, it's the first time I've done this" she added, William smiled and sat down next to her, "It should be fine, I mean Dallas is preforming tonight and as far as I can tell he's one of your closest friends" said William as he grabbed his own water bottle from his pocket, "besides I know your friends will be supporting you from the crowd" he added, Aelita smiled at the little encouragement, but she remembered That Jeremie the one she wanted there the most wasn't going to be there, but she didn't let it show, "come on, I'll show you the LP I put together" said William as he stood up.
(=======================================================================)
Yumi quickly brushed her hair, and grabbed her jumper pulling it over her head, she looked down in relief, she then felt herself get a small headache, she rubbed her head suddenly her hair brush began floating behind her, she turned around, she wasn't controlling it,
"What" she said in shock, she moved her hand to touch it but it shot towards her she moved to the side as it smacked into the wall behind her, she started breathing heavily, when she heard a voice shout, "YUMI WHAT WAS THAT" it was her dad, she looked at the hair brush before shouting "I ACCIDENTLY DROPPED SOMETHING", if her dad had of thought enough he would have known that the thumping had crack the wall and the sound was too loud, "OKAY BE CAREFUL IN THE FUTURE" he shouted back to her, Yumi sighed with relief before moving over and grabbing the hair brush, "that was weird" she said to herself as she quickly placed some paper with some school notes to hide the crack, she looked at her watch before standing up and left her house.
(=======================================================================)
Dallas walked towards the vending machines to grab a can of cream soda, he put his phone, he looked down angered slightly, he reached into his pocket and grabbed a coin and placed it into the machine,
"I'm not stupid I know you're following me" said Dallas as he grabbed the can and opened it, he turned around and the girl was behind him, "how did you know" she asked as she leant against the wall, "I'm not blind in this eye you know" said Dallas as he pointed towards it, "I never doubted that" she said as she moved off the wall, "who are you anyway" asked Dallas, he took a sip of his drink, "oh sorry, my names Abbie" she said as she extended her hand, Dallas learned something almost instantly, she was old fashioned, "I'm gonna assume you know who I am" said Dallas as he finished his drink, she smiled "yeah pretty much everyone around campus knows you, you're signed with Shinoda, and you're an expert at MMA", Dallas rolled his eyes, "what belt do you wear anyway" she asked, Dallas raised his jumper, "I don't wear one" he said as he threw his can in the trash, "I mean in whatever martial art you take" she said, Dallas smiled as he said "I don't need a belt to say what I can do", she smiled and laughed "so is there something I can do for you" he asked, she moved towards him, "well as thank you for saving me I'll accept your offer to the party tonight" she said as she walked away, "I didn't ask you" said Dallas, then he looked away and muttered "did I?" to himself, she turned around whilst still walking away, "well ask me" she said, Dallas chuckled and said "I'll see you later then" he was nervous about what he was getting himself into.
(=======================================================================)
As night fell, numerous students lined up to the gym, at the back of the line Ulrich and Odd were waiting, Yumi waved at them as she saw them and started to walk towards them,
"I hope Yumi isn't angry that I asked a bit late" said Ulrich to himself, Odd rolled his eyes, "well" asked Yumi as she neared them, "sure never felt better" replied Odd, Yumi sighed at him, "I was talking about your exam stupid" she clarified, Ulrich laughed and said "he's gonna be held back this year", Odd looked at him "not really, remember I'm majoring in Art" he said to stop Ulrich laughing, "don't exaggerate Ulrich, but it wouldn't have killed you to study a little" said Yumi, Ulrich looked towards Odd as he moved next to Yumi, "cut it out this isn't the time" he said, Odd smiled as he attempted to lighten the mood, "hey we're gonna see Aelita the DJ that's bound to cheer us up, where is she by the way" he said, Ulrich rolled his eyes and said "she's already inside DJ's and performers get VIP treatment".
(=======================================================================)
Jeremie was walking through the girls dorm as the stairs on the onside of the dorm were closed for renovations,
"You are not going and that's that" said Delmas as Jeremie passed Sissi's room, "but please Daddy, it's the happening of the century" pleaded Sissi, Delmas however was holding up Sissi's drawing "you should have thought of that earlier and studied for the exam" he said, Jeremie couldn't help but chuckle as he reached the stairs, before full out laughing upon reaching the Boys floor, he pulled out his key and as he went to unlock his door he noticed that it was already unlocked, "Dallas, if you're gonna try and…" said Jeremie, then he noticed Jim standing there, "Jim, what're you doing" asked Jeremie then he noticed Jim's eyes, "oh no" he said as he turned to run, but Jim grabbed him and threw him to the ground, Jim quickly grabbed some of the wires from the computer and tied Jeremie's hands and legs up before gagging his mouth with tape, Jim grinned then he heard a voice "Alright Jeremie, if I have to I'm gonna drag you to… oh fuck" said Dallas as he entered the room and noticed Jim, Jim grinned again, Dallas flicked his wrist before noticing he hadn't re equipped his blades "fuck" he said as Jim charged him and knocked him head first into the wall cracking it and leaving Dallas disorientated, "that will make things easier" said Jim as he grabbed more wires and tied up Dallas before head butting him, he then turned his attention to Dallas's Blades and crossbow.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the gym, the students had been let in and had begun dancing to the music that was being played from some new records, Aelita was sitting on the side of the stage nervous as all hell when she heard a voice say,
"Aelita, a question for the school paper" said Millie as she and Tamiya moved towards her with their camera, "As a DJ how would you define your style, Hard-core, depowse or down right new beat" asked Millie, Aelita had no idea what she was talking about and began to stutter, "She's too nervous to answer, I'd say her styles hard-core, but it's more of a style of her own" said William bailing her out, "totally rad" said Tamiya as she moved away from the camera, whilst behind her Sissi walked past towards Herb and Nicholas, "ta da" she said, "You snuck out" said Nicholas stating the obvious, Sissi sighed and said "my father said, you're gonna repeat the year but it's no big deal sweaty, doesn't mean you can't have a good time", Nicholas and Herb were confused "is that what he said" asked Nicholas, Sissi just rolled her eyes and replied "you're such an idiot, of course I snuck out, what did you think".
(=======================================================================)
Back in Jeremie's and Dallas's room Jeremie tried moving towards Dallas's phone as his had been smashed, but he couldn't he could only shit his legs, Dallas was out cold due to the numerous blows, he looked at where Dallas was laying and quickly shifted his legs and kicked Dallas in the face, his eyes shot open screaming,
"ah you fuck" he said as his nose bleed slightly onto his lip, "well this is a jam" he said as he looked at Jeremie and rolled towards him and tore the tape from his mouth, "You okay" he asked, Jeremie took in a deep breath, "yeah I'm fine, Jim's been possessed by XANA" said Jeremie as he took in more breaths, Dallas looked around "great I can't grab my phone he said what about your hands" asked Dallas, then Jeremie showed him that his hands had been placed palm to palm and tied together, "fuck, I've got nothing" he said as he laid back onto the ground.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the gym the party was in full swing, Aelita moved onto the stage and stood behind the DJ booth, whilst a dreadlocked teenager moved onto the stage with a microphone,
"Now Aelita a brand new DJ, as you're about to hear she's totally awesome" he said, Aelita quickly started spinning the records, William was nodding his head at his choice in Music, almost everyone stated Dancing heavily to it, Yumi smiled as she saw Aelita really getting into it, "wow its awesome come on" she said as she lead Ulrich away by the hand, the two started dancing together as Odd watched and said "young love", he moved to the snack table where he found William standing alone, "you're cousins incredible Odd" said William over the loud music, "yeah she is" said Odd as he grabbed a slice of pizza and took a bite.
(=======================================================================)
Back in their room Jeremie and Dallas tried pulling their hands from their restraints, Dallas grabbed Jeremie's hand cable,
"Alright pull" he said, Jeremie started moving away but the cables didn't budge they only hurt Jeremie's hands "OW" he screamed Dallas let go and fell back, "well we're fucked" he said, then he realised, "my blades" he said as she shuffled towards Jeremie's bag, "Jim smashed them and your crossbow bolts he's left us weapon less" said Jeremie, Dallas looked back at him, "fuck he's nearly thought of everything" he said in anger. (=======================================================================)
Back in the gym, Aelita had turned the music louder and everyone was enjoying themselves the more for it,
"Ulrich I need to tell you something" said Yumi, But Ulrich couldn't hear her over the music, "WHAT" he shouted, Yumi couldn't hear him, but suddenly Sissi moved between them and started Dancing to Ulrich, he quickly moved away however and back to Yumi, she again butted in, but again Ulrich moved away he wasn't in the mood, whilst back in the dorm building Dallas and Jeremie had propped themselves up against their beds respectively,
"how long until someone comes for us" Asked Jeremie as he looked at the ground, Dallas looked around, "no idea the party goes until around midnight, and its only 8pm now, simply put whatever XANA's planning, he's got us by the balls" said Dallas, then there was a knocking at the door, "if you're gonna stand me up, you could at least tell me" said Abbie as it sounded like she was crying, "well I'm a little tied up right now" said Dallas, she was confussed, "what do you mean" she asked, Dallas rolled his eyes "come in here and give me a hand" he said, Abbie opened the door, "I'm not putting…" she started before seeing them tied up, "okay whats going on" she asked as she took in the sight, "long story, reach into my boot and pull out my knife" said Dallas, Jeremie looked at him and asked "whose this" as Abbie grabbed his knife, "long story" said Dallas as she held it up, "okay hand me the knife" added Dallas, but as she looked at it she got scared and dropped it behind Dallas, he grabbed it but there was a flesh tearing noise, they all looked at him as he said "oh shit" he quickly grabbed it from his hand and tore the cables, "your hand" she said, Dallas looked at her as he tore the cables around his legs, "don't rip that hoodie anymore, it's fine" he said as he stood up and cut Jeremie's legs free, before slicing through the ones in his hands, "now hold still" he said as he cut the cables slowly, "do you mind telling me whats going on" asked Abbie as Dallas looked at his crossbow, the trigger had been torn out and wire cut, his blades were snapped and blunted, "where's Jim" asked Jeremie as he stood up, Dallas moved towards the floor board, "I don't know I think he's meant to be supervising the dance" said Abbie as Dallas tore away the floor board, "good he didn't know about this" said Dallas as he pulled his G17 and quickly loaded and chambered it, he grabbed a few magazines and placed them in his trousers between his jumper and jeans and behind his jacket and did the same with the gun, "is that" asked Abbie, Dallas looked at her and said "yep I'm afraid" Jeremie spoke up, "you look for Jim, I'll head to the factory, alert the others if you can't neutralise him" he said, Dallas moved away before moving back and kissing Abbie on the forehead and saying "thanks" as he rushed off.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the gym the party was at its height, Aelita spun the record she suddenly felt so confident at what she was capable of doing, and everyone was enjoying it, Odd looked at William as he stood almost motionless by the wall,
"Whats up, not dancing" he asked, William looked towards him and simply replied "it's not my thing", Odd smiled and moved towards him, "you gotta be kidding let me see how you move" said Odd encouraging William, however as he moved his feet barely off the ground it was evident that William couldn't dance, "oh your right it's not your thing" said Odd as Aelita moved forward a lever, suddenly the entire music sound changed and people began cheering, whilst at the back of the hall Jim entered and looked at the fuse box, he quickly place his hand on it, and a small electric charge fluctuated from his hand and moved through the power system before striking the DJ booth and in effect Aelita, suddenly the music stopped as Aelita screamed and fell back, the party committee quickly moved on stage to see if Aelita was okay, Jim moved up and looked at her as he crouched down, "everything is alright, she has just fainted" he said as he picked her up in his arms, "I will take her into the infirmary, go on with your party" said Jim as he carried her away, Ulrich looked at Yumi and said "that doesn't seem right", Yumi nodded as she watched Jim carry Aelita out of the building, then she heard her phone ring.
(=======================================================================)
"Yumi, get Odd, Ulrich and Aelita head to the factory, Jim's been possessed and I can't find him" said Dallas as he looked around Jim's room, Yumi looked at her phone and said "he's just carried Aelita away now, she fainted on stage", Dallas rolled his eye and said "for fuck sake" under his breath, then he noticed Jim jogging off with Aelita over his shoulder, "okay get to the factory, be prepared for a loud bang" said Dallas as he hung up, "what does he mean by a loud bang" asked Yumi, Dallas clicked his neck and drew the G17 and fired four rapid and successive shots into Jim's window and jumped through, whilst in the Gym people panicked at the gunshots, "that's probably it" said Odd as they rushed out the doors, "JIM" shouted Dallas as he caught up to them he raised the G17 and pointed it at him, Jim stopped and turned around "put her down" he said as he took a few steps towards him, Jim smiled and said "as you wish" then he held Aelita in front of him as a shield, Dallas pulled the hammer and took a step forward, but Jim grinned and Dallas lowered the gun, Jim laughed as he rushed off into the sewers, the others caught up to Dallas as he stood there, "whats going on, where's Jim" asked Ulrich, Dallas simply said "he called my bluff".
(=======================================================================)
At the factory Jeremie quickly tried locking the elevator, but it wouldn't respond from the computer room,
"son of a bitch why doesn't this thing work" said Jeremie as he smacked the computer screen, before he looked at the code window and found it empty, "Jesus Christ" said Jeremie as he quickly began typing away as fast as he could, whilst up on the bridge Jim was still carrying Aelita, he quickly jumped from the entrance to the factory floor without breaking a sweet, he chuckled as he moved towards the elevator when suddenly there was a blue flash and he turned around, "what the" he said as he looked behind him and Dallas was shooting towards him at a rapid pace, "haven't learned have you" said Jim as he held Aelita out as a shield, but suddenly in a blue Aelita vanished from his hands, Jim looked at his hands as Dallas struck him with a blow that had 40 miles per hour of speed behind it, suddenly Ulrich appeared holding onto Aelita, "well that went well" said Ulrich as he looked at her, suddenly Odd and Yumi slid down the ropes, "go to Lyoko" said Dallas as he drew the G17, "what about you" asked Yumi as Dallas pulled back on the gun, "I'm gonna keep him busy" said Dallas as his voice began to growl, Yumi noticed this and said "no you're coming with me, Ulrich you and Odd take care of him", Dallas looked back at her, before reluctantly agreeing, "besides we're the only ones armed" said Ulrich as he and Odd stood forward extending their blades, Dallas picked up Aelita, "sending her to Lyoko should work as a jump start" said Dallas as he fired at the elevator controls, they exploded and sparked, "protect the passage" said Yumi as she and Dallas ran off towards the second entrance, Jim stood up and limp towards them but his damaged limbs suddenly fixed themselves in an unnatural movement, "looks like we're gonna take care of this fuck" said Ulrich as he moved into a traditional fighting stance, "more like he's gonna take care of us" said Odd, suddenly Jim began to blur and he split into two, "fuck" said Ulrich as he and Odd stepped back, Ulrich moved forward and threw a punch at one of the Jim's but it seemed to faze through him, the Jim grinned and punched him sending him flying into a girder and cracking one of his ribs, "Ulrich" said Odd as he raised his arm, the crossbow section extended and Odd flicked his wrist and it struck one of the Jim's but he simply knocked the small bolt off of him, the two jims suddenly advanced on him, but almost as if out of the blue, the one Odd had stuck began to become fuzzy, he grabbed his head and let out an in human yell, it then formed back in with the other Jim and it stopped but this didn't stop Jim from rending Odd unconscious as he smacked him into the same girder as Ulrich.
(=======================================================================)
Yumi, Dallas and Aelita quickly entered the computer room via the passage,
"knock, knock" said Dallas as he dropped down followed by Yumi as she took the ladder, "where're the others" asked Jeremie as the others moved to the hatch, "hopefully pinning Jim down" said Yumi as she opened the hatch, "The towers in the dessert sector" said Jeremie, as he loaded the holo map, "how close can you get us" asked Dallas as he began to climb down the ladder, "The crater" replied Jeremie, Dallas sighed as he reached the bottom and quickly placed Aelita in the scanner, "you gonna be okay" asked Dallas as he grabbed Yumi's arm before she could step into the scanner, she pulled her arm away and looked down, she quickly stepped into the scanner as Dallas rushed over towards a vacant scanner, "Transfer Aelita, Transfer Yumi, Transfer Dallas" said Jeremie as the scanners closed, "Scanner Aelita, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Dallas" he added as they began to spin and rise, "Virtualization" said Jeremie as they felt the blast of air, their blue squared outlines appeared and they dropped to the ground, Aelita landed on her side, Yumi rushed over to her whilst Dallas grabbed his crossbow and looked around, "Aelita are you okay" asked Yumi as Aelita moved slowly, "yeah I could be better" she said as she shook her head, "you got company" said Jeremie, Yumi looked behind them as a swarm of Hornets moved towards them, "Jeremie we need a ride" said Aelita, Dallas aimed towards the Hornets, suddenly the Over-Wing spawned and Yumi and Aelita stood on it, "I'll catch up" said Dallas as he slowly raised his crossbow and pulled the trigger, a Hornet exploded as the bolt pierced it, "Dallas you're not stable to be left alone" said Yumi, Dallas looked back at her as he reloaded the bolt, "I SAID GO" he growled, Yumi looked forward and the two girls moved forward, Dallas then noticed that Adam and Evelyn flew towards him, both of them were on a vehicle each, "what they both have one" said Jeremie, Yumi looked back before accelerating, but Evelyn turned and moved towards Dallas with the intent to run him down, "this is gonna end badly" said Dallas as he started running, Evelyn passed over him, "oh I'm jealous" said Adam as he shot forward, Evelyn noticed that she was moving slower, "must have damaged it" she said as she shot forward, "Dallas" said Jeremie as he didn't see him devirtulized, "DALLAS" Shouted Jeremie.
(=======================================================================)
Back on the factory floor, Jim moved towards the hatch, Ulrich began to crawl, but with severe pain he was barely able to move, he crawled on his front
"Odd" said Ulrich as he was barely able to move, he grabbed Odd's body, but he felt hard, he then noticed at the point of impact Odd's skin had hardened and his shell had formed, "looks like this will be difficult" said Odd as he grabbed a pipe, he threw it towards Jim, "hey bozzo" he said, Jim turned around as Odd's shell returned to his skin, "Odd you can't handle him" said Ulrich as he barely managed to stand up, "not like you can" said Odd as Jim charged, at the moment of contact, the shell reformed and Odd was tackled into the ground, Ulrich limped over to a pipe and grabbed it, Odd extended his blade and stabbed it into Jim's arm but it was quickly snapped off and his arm was pushed down, Jim laughed at the futile attempt, but Ulrich smashed the metal pipe over Jim's head, Jim was barely fazed, he then with a strength not seen before pushed Ulrich again towards the girder, Jim laughed until he noticed something and said "what the fuck".
(=======================================================================)
Back on Lyoko Adam and Evelyn were nearing Yumi and Aelita, Evelyn was barely able to keep pace, whilst Adam was getting closer,
"Careful you two" said Jeremie, Aelita looked back as Adam drew his sword trying to swipe against the Over-wing, Evelyn drew nearer as Yumi swerved away from Adam, "Come on" said Evelyn, but suddenly she seemed to gain speed as fire erupted from the side of her bike, "whats happening" asked Adam as he looked back, suddenly Dallas moved to the side of the Vehicle, "OH SHITTTT" he yelled as he held on as the fire burned on the other side, Evelyn was too preoccupied to deal with him straight away, he quickly reached into the side and using his hook blade began to tear into the side of the bike, Evelyn kicked Dallas, he nearly slipped loose but as he fell the hook blade got caught in the hole it had created, suddenly Dallas was skidding on the ground and the bike was moving at an extreme speed and was nearly falling apart at the seams, whilst up ahead Yumi saw the tower, "Okay Yumi you've gotta head into the crater" said Jeremie, Yumi turned and moved down the spiral, "I've got you know mother fucker" said Adam as he followed, Evelyn tried turning but over shot, she drew her musket and aimed towards Dallas, but he raised his legs and pulled the musket from her hand, he then quickly grabbed it and kicked her in the head, he then loosened his right bracer and his arm slipped out, he grabbed onto Evelyn and smacked her head into the dashboard, he then took control of the bike and turned it towards the crater and quickly onto the ramp, Dallas placed the Musket into the hold on Evelyn's bike, "wanna live, do as I say" said Dallas.
(=======================================================================)
Odd looked amazed as Ulrich laid against the girder, Ulrich walked past it towards Jim, he wasn't restricted by the numerous cracked ribs, Ulrich then knelt down to himself and said,
"we'll take over from here", Jim stood up and moved towards Ulrich, "no it's too soon" said Jim as he looked at the three Ulrichs, the numerous blows had triggered his dormant second power, Triplication, and unlike the real Ulrich these two weren't held back by the injuries sustained from the real one, Odd quickly grabbed Jim's leg, he turned and looked back as one of the Ulrich's jumped and dropped kicked Jim in the chest, the second moved and sweeped his leg, Odd rolled out of the way as Jim fell, "Take Ulrich, the real one to safety, we'll take care of this" he said, the other Ulrich looked up and said "yeah take away half of our team", Odd quickly ran helped the real Ulrich, "come on" Said Odd, the two Ulrich's stood back as Jim stood up, "two verses one" said one of the Ulrichs as he looked back at Odd and the real Ulrich fleeing, "yeah but he's still gonna win" said the third Ulrich.
(=======================================================================)
Yumi and Aelita moved off the spiral and moved towards the Tunnel but Adam and Evelyn were catching up, Evelyn pulled up alongside Adam,
"Where's Dallas" asked Adam, then he noticed Evelyn looked panicked, she quickly drew another musket and aimed it towards Dallas but he pulled it forward snapping Evelyn's finger, Adam quickly drew his own Musket and aimed it at Dallas, the latter ducked behind cover as Adam fired at him, Dallas moved up and fired blindly through the flames, Adam having reloaded fired back, Dallas grabbed the second musket and fired it at Adam, suddenly the fire expanded and the engine on Evelyn's bike began to combust, Adam shot forward as Evelyn jumped and bailed, Dallas quickly let go of the bike and skidded on the ground as the bike exploded, unfortunately the cave couldn't take the explosion and it collapsed blocking Dallas's path, "Jeremie I'm outta the game" said Dallas, Jeremie looked down and shook his head, "girls bad news, Dallas took out Evelyn but he's cut off from you" said Jeremie, the over-wing exited the tunnel, followed closely by Adam, back in the Lab Jeremie heard a noise and watched as Odd and Ulrich moved from the access tunnel, "what're you doing" asked Jeremie as he moved to help Ulrich, "what happened" asked Jeremie as the two of them propped Ulrich against a wall, "he's got numerous cracked ribs" said Odd, then Jeremie realised "what if you two are here whats stopping Jim" asked Jeremie as he moved back towards the computer, "Ulrich is" said Odd, Jeremie looked at him confussed.
(=======================================================================)
Jim moved towards the service tunnel, but one of the Ulrich's was propelled by the other and went for a spin kick, it struck Jim in the back of the head but it hardly fazed him,
"This may be more difficult than first thought" said the Second Ulrich, the third rolled his eyes and said "you don't say" then Jim charged towards the two and grabbed them by the necks, "you are no longer required to live" said Jim as he began to tighten his hold but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his back he let go of the two Ulrich's, they looked as Jim reached behind his back, then they noticed that a pen had been stabbed into his back, "you get one pen" said Odd as Jim was angered and stormed towards him, the two Ulrich's stood up and charged Jim, as they managed to knock him they grabbed his arms to stop him from breaking his fall, "Go we'll handle this" said the second Ulrich, the third simply sighed, "I'm sorry but considering the real Ulrich was barely able to you need all the help you can get" said Odd, Jim tried wiggling free, but he was barely able to move as the three of them held him down, "I say we choke him" said the third Ulrich, Odd and the second looked at him "no, as soon as the towers deactivated he'll return to normal we can't risk killing him" said the second, Odd realised it, the second Ulrich represented his reason and compassion, whilst the third was comprised of the anger and the darker nature, "wow I dunno how we're gonna live with three of you" said Odd, the two looked at him as Jim tried to violently shaking them off.
(=======================================================================)
Back in the tunnel Dallas looked at the exploded bike the fire was consuming the tunnel slowly, he placed his hand in his face to stop the light from blinding him,
"Christ what does XANA put in those crappy things" said Dallas as he pulled down his hood and walked along, "help me" said a voice, Dallas noticed Evelyn had been trapped under a rock during the tunnel collapse, her leg was trapped, "I call this irony" said Dallas as he noticed the fire was advancing, he moved to her and sat on a rock opposite her, "please help me, if we get devirtulized we feel the pain" she said as she tried to pull herself free, "how do you think the fire will feel" she said begging for help, Dallas looked at her and then at the fire, "I free you and you'll just devirtulize me" said Dallas as he walked away, "Please help me" said Evelyn as she began to scream and again attempted to pull herself free, she looked back as the fire consumed the tunnel, she closed her eyes ready to be killed, suddenly there was a blue flash and the fire was nearly extinguished but the bike's engine was just continuing to burn and spread the fire, Dallas came back and using Evelyn sword pried it under the rock and levered it up and freed her leg, "Dallas what're you doing" asked Jeremie, Dallas grabbed Evelyn and carried her over his shoulder, "I gotta lot of sins Jeremie, this is how I repay them" he said as the two rushed out of the tunnel, he placed her down and using Eagle sense he collapsed the cave, "why did you save me" she asked as she looked up at him, Dallas didn't answer as he walked away, "ANSWER ME" she screamed, Dallas stopped walking and said "it isn't me to leave someone to die".
(=======================================================================)
Yumi and Aelita were getting close to the tower, but Adam was getting closer to them,
"Jeremie any chance of back up" asked Aelita, Jeremie pressed his glasses into his face, "Ulrich's preoccupied and Can't fight, Odd's helping him restrain Jim, and Dallas is too far away" replied Jeremie, Adam quickly moved towards the Over-Wing he reached trying to grab Aelita, Yumi swerved away, Adam's face curled with anger, "get back here" he said, but as he reached again Yumi swerved again, but this time towards Adam, the two vehicles devirtulized, and all three of them were thrown to the ground, Adam's hat and musket were thrown from him, "Jeremie get Aelita the Over-Board" said Yumi as she stood crouched ready to fight with her fans, "Aelita run" said Yumi, the aforementioned quickly started running to the tower, Adam stood up and drew his sword and charged at Yumi, but she tripped him, unfortunately he ended up on top and was pointing his sword at her head, "I'm gonna enjoy this" said Adam as he looked as if he was crazy, suddenly he noticed the ground appear to grow and moved towards him, "what… no" he said, he quickly tried moving away but Yumi grabbed him and held him in place saying "I'm gonna enjoy this fucker", suddenly Adam was crushed by two forming pieces of ground, Yumi looked up to see Aelita running back towards her, "Yumi" she said as she grabbed her arm and pulled her free, "were you harmed" asked Aelita as the two began running towards the tower, "I don't think so" said Yumi, Jeremie sighed as the two were okay, he looked at the radar, "you two should be okay, I think XANA's burned his resources" said Jeremie as Aelita arrived at the tower, she passed through, and walked towards the centre and began to rise, "Lets reset this bitch of a day" said Dallas as he overheard everything through the over-riders mike, "Tower deactivated" said Aelita as the screens descended into the black void, whilst on the factory floor, Jim suddenly screamed in pain as he felt the pen lodged into his back and the numerous blows he'd received, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON" shouted Jim, then he noticed Odd and one of the Ulrich's, "DELLA ROBIA, STERN AND…" he then noticed the other Ulrich "stern?" he said confussed, then he noticed Odd's turtle armour "oh great" said Odd, then they were engulfed by the flash the day was reset.
(=======================================================================)
The day before the warriors had regrouped; they'd managed to convince Odd to study for the test this time around,
"Okay so that's a promise right" asked Odd, they nodded as Odd read through a text book, "Jeremie you're gonna help me with chemistry and Aelita you're gonna help me with Physics" said Odd, as he turned a page, "and you're gonna help me until I get it" he asked, in unison Aelita and Jeremie said "Promise", causing Ulrich and Dallas to chuckle like a pack of skunks, then they heard Sissi say "Wow I'm really knocked out", Dallas rolled his eyes and said "and yet she keeps on blabbering", "bet you can't guess why" said Sissi as she moved through the group, "your father, said Okay for the gymnasium" said Odd, this only confussed Sissi, "Huh?, how did you know that" she asked, Odd decided to tell the truth, "oh I've already lived through this day and I just travelled back through time" said Odd, Sissi just looked at him like he was crazy, "you're a real loony I feel sorry for you" said Sissi pretending to cry at the end, "by the way, you wanna come study with us, Jeremie and Aelita are gonna give us a hand" said Odd, Sissi started laughing at what she believed to be the ludicrous statement "study? Me?... looks like you've lost the only brain cell you had left" said Sissi as she stated to walk away, "if she only knew what was coming" said Odd, Aelita stepped forward, "it's okay, after the exams I want you to teach me about techno, I love it, it's my new earthly passion" said Aelita, Jeremie was still unhappy about her choice but had decided to be supportive of her, "will you come and listen to me mix Jeremie?" she asked, Jeremie smiled and said "I promise".
(=======================================================================)
The days followed a similar turn of events as they had previously happened, William still smashed the record mixer by accident leading Aelita to fix it, Dallas still broke his fingers saving Abbie and she'd once again asked him to escort her to the party, Sissi had failed her exam again, Jim was disappointed and pleased that Odd had filled out his exam, and luckily this time XANA hadn't attacked, and the party was once again in full swing,
"You enjoying yourself again" said Ulrich to Yumi over the loud music, Aelita was once again in the DJ booth, Dallas was back stage he was nervous, it'd been a while since he performed in front of the school, there was a knocking on the bathroom stall door, "Dallas you in here" asked Cameron, Dallas stepped away from the mirror and opened the door, "yeah I'm good just nervous" he replied, then he noticed Abbie standing behind him, "you gotta stop doing that" he said, she smiled and said "Aelita's got everything ready for you", Dallas smiled knowing this was gonna be a hit or miss, "I just hope I'm ready" he said.
(=======================================================================)
The music in the DJ booth died down as Dallas grabbed a mike, Aelita looked at him and gave him the thumbs up as the kid with the dreadlocks appeared,
"All right, all right now for the main event, give it up for Dallas MARSHAL" said the kid into the microphone, suddenly the music started playing the tune was slow to begin with but gradually picked up "You ready" said Dallas into the Mic, "let's go!" he added as the crowd started getting pumped, "yeah for those of you that wanna what we're all about it's this y'all come on" he added as he started walked on stage, the crowd cheered as he said "THIS IS TEN PERCENT LUCK, TWENTY PERCENT SKILL, FIFTEEN PERCENT CONCENTRATED POWER OF WILL, FIVE PERCENT PLEASURE, FIFTY PERCENT PAIN, AND A HUNDRED PERCENT REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME", his voice died down as he said, "He doesn't need his name up in lights, he just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the Mic, he feels so unlike everyone else, alone, in spite of the fact that some people think that they know him, but fuck 'em, he knows the code, it's not about the salary, it's all about reality and making some noise, making a story, making sure his clique stays up, that means when he puts he puts it down, taks pickin it up", his voice quickly changed tone as he spat out "who the hell is he anyway, he never really talks much, never concerned with status but still leavin' them star struck, humbled through opportunities given despite the fact, that many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writing raps, put it together himself, now the picture connects, never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect, he's only focused on what he wrote; his will is beyond reach, and now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist" again his voice changed to a third tone, "this is twenty percent skill, eighty percent beer, be a hundred percent clearly 'cause Ryu is ill, who've thought that he'd be the one that set the west in flames, then heard him wreckin' with the crystal method, name of the game, came, dropped megadef, took 'em to church, I like bleach man, Ryu had the stupidest verse, this dude is the truth, now everybody be givin' him guest spots, his stocks through the roof; I heard he fuckin' with S-Dot", he quickly switched to the first tone "THIS IS TEN PERCENT LUCK, TWENTY PERCENT SKILL, FIFTEEN PERCENT CONCENTRATED POWER OF WILL, FIVE PERCENT PLEASURE, FIFTY PERCENT PAIN, AND A HUNDRED PERCENT REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME" he quickly spat before he switched to the third tone again, "they call him Ryu he's sick, and he's spittin fire and Mike, got him out of the dryers he's hot, found him in Fort Minor with Tak, what a fuckin nihilist porcupine; he's a prick; he's a cock, the type that women want to be with and rappers hope he get shot, eight years on the makin' patiently waitin' to blow now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe, he's got a partner in crime; his shit is equally dope, you won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kids throat", Dallas dropped off the stage and switched to the second tone as he moved through the crowd, "He's not your every day on the block, he knows how to work with what he's got, makin' his way to the top, he often a comment on his name, people keep asking him was it given at birth, or does it stand for an acronym?, no, he's livin' proof that he rockin' the booth, He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice, him and his crew are known around as one of the best, dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent", he jumped back in to the stage and switched to the first tone again "Forget the mike" he said as he dropped it, "Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard, it seems like he's never got time, because he writes every note and he writes every line, and I've seen him at work when that light goes on his mind, it's like a design is written in his head every time, before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme, and those motherfuckers he runs with, the kids that he signed, ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?", he quickly spat "THIS IS TEN PERCENT LUCK, TWENTY PERCENT SKILL, FIFTEEN PERCENT CONCENTRATED POWER OF WILL, FIVE PERCENT PLEASURE, FIFTY PERCENT PAIN, AND A HUNDRED PERCENT REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME, THIS IS TEN PERCENT LUCK, TWENTY PERCENT SKILL, FIFTEEN PERCENT CONCENTRATED POWER OF WILL, FIVE PERCENT PLEASURE, FIFTY PERCENT PAIN, AND A HUNDRED PERCENT REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME" he stopped as the music carried on barely able to breath as he looked back at Aelita who quickly said "great job" but he could barely hear her, he looked at the other warriors as they stood with William and they nodded, "I fuckin love this job" he said as he finished by shouting "MACHINE SHOP"
