AN: Sorry for not updating for the better part of this month. My iBook is mostly broken and is pretty unusable, but my new PowerBook G4 is in the mail (Update: It's here !) ! I'm currently using someone elses computer to write this so this chapter will be shorter. Pitty that no one was able to figure out my clue in the previous chapter.

Jeremie was ready in ten minutes, as he had laided out all of his cloths on the chair and had taken a shower the previous night. He let his plan form in his mind as he pulled his shirt over his head and adjusted his glasses. Although he knew there was no possiable way he could get to the factory until repairs to the general area was compelete, he was deteremined to do something. Although he had an idea, he hadn't figured out how to do everything yet. So with a very distracted mind, Jeremie was lead down to the dinning hall by Odd and Ulrich. Yumi was waiting at the enterence to the dorms waiting for Odd and Ulrich to retrieve Jeremie.

"So Jeremie, any idea what happened to Lyoko ?"

"None, the connection to super computer has been served. I can only hope it's restored when the phone and power lines are restored ?"

"How serve do you think the damage was ?"

"No way to know, but ..."

Odd stomach cut of Jeremie mid-sentence.

"Enough talking, I'm starving !"

"Odd, you are always starving !"

"Yeah well, uhh ...."

Everyone started cracking up due to how Ulrich had prevented any possiable comebacks with a single sentence. The laugher died into an ackward silence. Finally, Odd broke the silence.

"Did anyone else's eardrums shatter this morning by that high pitched wail ?"

"You mean Sissi ?"

"I though my glasses were going to shatter if she had a higher pitch"

"So that was that unearthly sound I heard while waiting, I though Odd had left the volume on his music on too loud."

"My music isn't claws-on-a-chalkboard screaming !"

"But it is that loud, and to the untrained ear, it sounds the same."

"What is this, pick on Odd day ?"

Even Jeremie had to laugh, as that comment was pretty funny. However, his good mood didn't last. He wolfed down breakfast faster then Odd (which was saying something), and raced back to his dorm room, eager to get back to work. He took his laptop out of his backpack, and checked the power level on the battery.

"57%, well, that's about an hour and a half, time to get to work."

Jeremie opened the lid, and pressed the power button. Several messages about the system and it's configuration flew by at high speed. Briefly, the eye logo of XANA appeared, followed by the familiar progress bar that shows the startup progress. Once that finished, Jeremie's desktop slid into view, the Lyoko Connection window opened, a blank holo-map, and the communication window. SIghing at the fact that he wished Aelita was here to help him, he closed the connection window, and the communication window, opened the character card creator, his code library, and various other tools. Although he really didn't need to make a card from starch, due to the fact that the scanners would create a default template based on his appearance and abilities as he was virtualized. This allowed him to travel to Lyoko when X.A.N.A created the false school, and how he had intended to see Aelita when a computer glitch nearly deleted him.

"Alright time to get to work."

Jeremie wasted no time in creating his character. Using what he had seen in his dream, he quickly keyed in the information. He created his rifle, a scanning interface that flipped over his eye, and a few other goodies which he hoped he didn't need to use. Jeremie had just finished compiling his character when the battery expired, and Jeremie slid in a new pack, causing the laptop to automatically restore from sleep mode.

"One down, two to go"

Jeremie's second project was harder. He needed a way he could communicate with the super calculator software, as well as a way to virtualize himself, or anyone else without him being around and in the command center. Although he didn't fully trust automatic systems, in this case, there was really no way to get around it, so he burried his doubt on having the computer virtualize him and wrote the software to do it.

"Phew, that was close"

After almost five hours of working, both of his projects were complete. He had a way to send himself to Lyoko, and he also had a containment unit, just incase Lyoko was really badly damaged. He could move Aelita into the unit, and then pull the plug, and then hopefully not loose her when everything crashed. He prayed to God that he wouldn't need it, since the data-link between Aelita and X.A.N.A might be served if Lyoko crashed, even if X.A.N.A was still online. With hope n his heart, he saved his owrk and shutdown. He stood up and looked out his dorm window, looking at the damage and wreckage Alexandria did, and wishing he was just a little faster shutting the system down. However, now wasn't the time for this. He packed his laptop, and took off to the park, and went to survey the damage for himself.

End Chapter

PSAN: Sorry for the short character, writers block sucks, but I now have my new PowerBook, I hope to have Chapter 7 done soon.
