Author's Note: They have escaped. But, what gonna happen next? Here we
go with the show!

5:00 PM Scanner Room
With a soft hissing noise, all three scanners opened up. But this time they did not create any of Xana creatures, but the three battle weary warriors. One closed, and then it reopened producing a fourth one. They people were none other than Ulreck, Odd, Yumi, and Alieta.
"Man, it feels great to be back!"
"Yeah, but, we don't know what kind of mischief Xana been causing. Let's get to the Control Room!"
They took the elevator up to the Control Room; they all were silent. Jeremy would normally be up there to welcome them back, but he was...
The elevator shuddered to a stop, the large metal doors unlatched and opened, and the team walked inside. They looked around, no Xana. But, was that a web-cam on the computer?
"Ok, Alieta, you know how to work that thing, see what Xana has been up to, please."
"Sure, Odd."
As she scanned the world, she relayed everything she found out to the team. How he terrorized the locals, destroyed every military and police buildings and personnel, what happened at the mall, and the airport.
But she stopped suddenly, as the metal doors hissed and began to open. Everyone turned and looked at the doors and saw a person stagger toward them.
Then, with the power of 15 racehorses, it hit them. As they stared at the figure, which now collapsed in front of them, they knew it was impossible, but yet, it WASN'T!
The figure on the floor was not Xana; it was Jeremy!

5:05 PM Highway 55
There was but one car this evening. A 70s Volkswagen Beetle. Inside it, the airport security chief, who was named Gary, pushed his little car as fast as it would go.
He had to find those kids before it was too late! Why? He knew Xana's Plan!
He was quite possibly the only one who knew it. And he did not like the sound of it. No sir. Not at all!
As he passed the old factory, he wondered why haven't they torn that place down yet? No matter, he was headed toward the school. Maybe someone could help him there.
How ironic, don't you think?

5:10 PM Control Room
Ulreck pulled Yumi away from Jeremy, Alieta and Odd. He wasn't sure about Jeremy.
"I don't know why, Yumi, but something isn't right with Jeremy."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember the reality Xana had us trapped in?"
"What, you think he's impersonating Jeremy again?"
"Just a thought."
They were near the computer, and as soon as Ulreck said that, it turned itself on, and Xana's smiling face appeared.
"Oh, but there is no reason to do that."
Everyone, except Jeremy, who was still unconscious, looked at the computer.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I already have a plan. A plan to get rid of you for good!"
"Alieta, Odd, bring Jeremy to the elevator, we're leaving."
They did so, and right as they pressed the button, Xana called out: "You don't know where I am!"
The door closed and they traveled upward.
"Ha, ha, ha, h..." the computer screen froze for a split second, then, "...on't know where I am! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

5:15 PM the school entrance
Gary looked around, how strange, no one's around.
As he wondered the buildings, he called out "Hello? Anyone there?"
'Where in the heck IS everybody' Gary thought. 'Everybody evacuate or something?'
He was in the courtyard and about ready to leave when he heard it. A slight thumping noise, like someone banging against glass. He looked over at the cafeteria, and was astonished. It looked like the entire school, faculty and students, were trapped in the cafeteria. It looked relatively unprotected, why didn't they just leave the building?
He approached the door, and almost everybody turned and looked at him, the realizing what he was about to do everybody frantically screamed "NO! NO! DON'T! YOU'LL BE KILLED!"
Ignoring their plea, he put his hand on the door and pushed it open, then suddenly, nothing happened. Everyone got quiet.
It was Gary who spoke first. "Um, does anybody know where I can find Ulreck, Yumi, Odd?"
It was Jim who acted irrationally by sizing Gary by the collar of his outfit, and thrust him against a wall.
"What make you think we'll tell you, Xana?" Jim snarled.
"I... But... Xana... Not..." Gary stammered.
It was the principal who settled everything. "JIM! I am sure he is not Xana. PUT HIM DOWN! Now then, who are you?"
Jim reluctantly put him down. Gary brushed himself off and said, "My name is Gary. I am a security chief at the airport. I need to find the kids who were trapped in Lyoko."
"Why?"
"They are in grave danger."
By this time the entire faculty was gathered around Gary and the principal.
"I know his plan," Gary said.
"Can you tell us?"
He told them everything. When he finished, the entire faculty was white. Gary stood there with an expression that clearly said he was serious.
"Bu... Bu... But He, he, he can't possibly..." It was Jim stammering this time.
"I am sorry, but I do not have any clue as to where they might be. If you have a cell phone, we'll call you if anything come up that could help."
Gary gave his cell number, said thanks, and left. So much for that.

Author's Note: Didn't see that coming didja? Huh? Huh? Oh, if you're wondering, I won't give any more hints, Gary will be seen again, and that's about it.
See ya next time!
