Turqi: Mezers no ownzers. Thanks for the reviews. It's obvious that the rewrite was much better. (I'm more pleased with it too. .) The chapter is set during the episode where XANA makes all those robots in the factory.

Chapter 2
Two periods later, Odd and Zoe went to the lunchroom. A brown haired boy that Zoe hadn't seen yet was waving at Odd. Sitting at the same table were the Japanese girl and blond-haired boy from before.
"Odd!" the brown-haired boy exclaimed. "Over here!"
Zoe glanced at Odd, receiving a nod from her new friend. They walked over to the table. Then, Odd introduced the three to Zoe.
"Zoe, these are my friends. This is Jeremie," he pointed to the blond-haired boy, "Yumi," the Japanese girl, "and Ulrich," the brown-haired boy. (AN: That's the correct grammar for a sentence like that, I think… If not, then sorry. We didn't go over that in English…)
"Hi. I'm Zoe. Nice t' meet ya." Jeremie, Yumi, and Ulrich began to talk all at once.
"Hi, Zoe- nice to meet you too- welcome to the school." Zoe smiled. Looks like I have some more friends!
She was pulled from her thoughts by a tug at her arm.
"We should get our trays," Odd explained. "Be right back, guys."
---------------------------
"Why are your eyes so red?" Odd asked Zoe as they snatched their trays. His blonde friend had gone into the bathroom with normal green eyes; when she came back they were watery and reddened. "And why were you in the bathroom so long before lunch? Were you crying?"
"Uh- no!" Zoe said almost too quickly. "I just had something in my eye!"
"Both your eyes had something in them?" Odd retorted. Her head dropped. "You lost your family. It's OK to cry about that."
"I guess you're right."
While Zoe got acquainted with Odd's friends, trouble was brewing in a factory near the school. A computerized villain named XANA was using the factory's assembly line to make man-killing robots. The robots were given a specific programming upon their awakening: search for XANA's enemies and destroy them.
One by one, XANA welded metallic parts together. Soon, a group of the deadly robots made their way out of the factory, their course set for the school.
-------------------------
Ulrich sighed as Jeremie left his seat. The spectacled boy was going to log into the secret world of Lyoko to talk to Aelita, Lyoko's guardian. Zoe glanced up from her mashed potatoes, her eyes following Jeremie as he left the lunchroom.
"He's going to check up on his internet girlfriend," Yumi laughed. Odd began to laugh silently.
"Oh," Zoe said with a smile. Odd grinned from ear to ear.
"Oh, my dear Aelita!" he said, mocking Jeremie. "I love you so much!" Zoe suddenly stopped laughing.
"A-Aelita…" she stammered. Her eyes widened.
"Yeah," replied Odd. "You, OK?" Snapping out of her reverie, Zoe nodded.
"I'm fine. Sorry 'bout that."
Suddenly, Ulrich's cell phone began to ring. He stared at the message 'XANA' on the phone's screen. Yumi and Odd stared at Ulrich, and he nodded. Odd stood up, tray in hand, as did Yumi and Ulrich.
"Hey," Zoe said, "what's going on?" Odd looked at Yumi, then at Ulrich.
"You're our friend now," he began. "and I hope you will be for a long time; so, it should be alright to tell you. It's a long story, though. Just follow us."
"O…kay… If you say so," Zoe trailed. She, too, stood. The four teens ran to the door and exited the lunchroom, unaware of the danger lurking outside.
------------------------
"Aelita, it doesn't look like XANA has attacked our world yet," Jeremie said to Lyoko's pink haired guardian.
"I hope not," Aelita replied. "The pulsations are getting stronger, though. It's probably only a matter of time before he does."
"Well, I've gotta go. Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi are going to meet me at the factory."
"OK, Jeremie." Jeremie logged out of Lyoko and stepped out the door.
Jeremie zipped down the hall as fast as he could, passing by Sissie along the way. As he ran, Jeremie's cell phone rang, Ulrich's number appearing on the screen.
"Yes, Ulrich?" Jeremie answered. "You're what?!"
"XANA somehow made a bunch of robots," Ulrich shouted as he shot from left to right to avoid the robots' lasers. "They're trying to kill us!"
"We should split up!" Yumi exclaimed. "It might make it harder for the robots to catch us!"
"Good idea, Yumi," Ulrich said. "Jeremie," he yelped into the phone, "we'll meet you at the factory." Ulrich turned the phone off and stuffed it in his pocket.
"Zoe," Odd said, "you need to run away from us. Those things won't come after you!"
"But I-"
"Go!" Zoe frowned, but obeyed. She fanned away from the group, glancing back at her new friends. Unfortunately, Odd was wrong about the robots. As Zoe broke away from the others, so did the robots.
"Why are they chasing her?!" Yumi yelled.
"Zoe!" Odd and Ulrich exclaimed at the same time. Odd shot after her.
"Ulrich, Yumi, I'll help Zoe! You guys go meet up with Jeremie!" he shouted.
"Ulrich, let's go," said Yumi. "Odd can handle this."
Zoe skidded into the gym, the robots close behind her and Odd right behind them. Zoe's hair tossed around her face as she dove under the gym's bleachers. The robots were too big to get under the bleachers… but they could still shoot their lasers…
"AIEEE!!!" Zoe screamed as she stumbled out of the other side of the bleachers.
"Zoe!" Odd was at the end of the bleachers waiting for her. "C'mon! Let's get outta here!" he yelped, grabbing her hand and pulling her out the back door.
--------------------------------
Yumi and Ulrich ran into the factory, only to be confronted by another horde of robots. They were being assembled in the factory!
"Yumi," Ulrich whispered, "let's get to the scanners quick." The two ran to the elevator and hit the button for the scanner floor. Yumi called Jeremie on her cell phone to inform him of their arrival.
Ulrich was the first to enter his scanner. Yumi stepped into her tube-like scanner soon after him.
"Transfer Ulrich," Jeremie said, his voice full of power. "Transfer Yumi." The scanners began to glow around the two teens. "Scanning Ulrich; scanning Yumi." Their data flashed across Jeremie's computer screen right before he bellowed, "Virtualization."
As Ulrich and Yumi were being virtualized, Odd brought Zoe into the main computer room of the factory. Jeremie just stared at the flame-haired blonde as he pulled Zoe into the room.
"Odd, what are you-"
"Jeremie," Odd growled, "the robots went after Zoe. XANA's attacks are normally directed only at us since we're his enemies. He may catch other people while coming after us, but the robots were actually targeting Zoe!"
"XANA…" Zoe whispered. "You found Lyoko too…"
"What?!" Odd and Jeremie both yelled, shocked.
"How do you know about Lyoko?" Odd asked. Zoe gazed at him.
"I'll tell you later. For now, you should stop XANA."
--------------------
Turqi: Well that's chapter 2! Confusing? Hope not…
Odd: Bring in Kiwi…
Turqi: Okey! Just chill out, Oh Spiky-headed One! I'll try to get him in the next chappie! I was happy just to get this chapter done…
Odd: You're computer deleted it twice, didn't it?
Turqi: Don't remind me… It took me forever to retype it…
Odd: I never noticed until today that you're pretty computer illiterate…
Turqi: I never noticed until today's episode of Code: Lyoko that you are a FREAK! You kissed that Sam person lady-ness-ness-ness-ness… -ish.
Odd: Moron…
Turqi: :P You likey? You no likey? The review fairy has overtaken you! Review! She commands thee!
