By: Ravn612
A/N: Okay I have a chance to do something I wanted to, to show you guys that I appreciate your reviews I just want to thank you and for motivating me to write more! It really helps to get the juices flowing lol. Okay anyhow, wow I didn't know I had a fan smiles anyhow thank you all and my chappies will be updated much faster now because SCHOOL IS OUT AND SUMMER IS HERE!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited oh and if anyone likes Teen Titans I'm writing a fic for it called "Midnight Rain" It's got Raven and Robin paring. Well okay enough chit chat now more of the story
Summer was nearing and the whole school was growing restless; even the teacher were starting to slack. The bell rang signaling lunch.
"Hey Jeremy," Odd called as he ran after him.
"Oh, hello Odd," Jeremy answered turning towards him.
"Don't you think Xana's being too quite?" Odd asked falling in step with Jeremy just as Yumi and Ulrich appeared from down the hall.
"I don't know I think we better see what Aelita's up to after lunch." Jeremy responded falling into line behind Maya.
"Hey guys," Yumi greeted as they sat at their table near a window.
"Hey Yumi," Maya and Odd greeted sitting next to each other.
"Hey guys," She smiled back.
They all ate lunch with the usual chat but Odd and Maya liked to partake in lunch time games such as small food fights, cracker stuffing contests, and who could make the worst looking food by making anything they had on their tray and the loser would have to take a bite. The bell rang and they all dumped their trays and went to the last three classes for the day.
"What do you think Xana could be up to?" Yumi asked Ulrich as they walked down the hall.
"I don't know but it might be something big if he's taking this long to do something." Ulrich answered unhappily.
"I suppose," Yumi sighed as they reached their class.
The day passed in a hot and slow manner until finally the final bell rang and the whole school seemed to burst open with excitement.
"I sure wish they had somewhere to cool off like a pool or something." A girl was saying to her friend as Jeremy and gang walked down the stairs.
"You're lucky you have air conditioning and someplace to cool off." Odd sighed wiping sweat from his brow.
"Well I guess I could have you guys over to cool off, maybe a few sodas and a sprinkler?" Yumi asked smiling as Odds' face lit up.
"You really think so?" He asked hanging on her every word.
"I suppose if you guys can leave school property." She said as they walked her to the gate.
"I dunno, maybe." Odd said as they waved to her.
"I'll call you guys later." She yelled as she ran off towards her house.
Back in Jeremy's room they were enjoying a visit from Aelita.
"No Jeremy everything here is fine." Aelita answered.
"No pulsations?" He asked.
"No." She said.
"Xana is being too quite I wish I knew what he was up to." Jeremy sighed leaning back into his chair.
"Maybe we should go to Lyoko and take a look around." Ulrich offered from his spot on the bed.
"I don't know," Jeremy said.
"They don't need to I can check it out from here and I'll tell you if I find any pulsations." Aelita offered.
"Alright, but be careful." Jeremy warned.
"Don't worry." She laughed as she disappeared.
Meanwhile at an animal shelter
"Hey Bob are you gonna lock up?" A fat man in blue overalls asked.
"Yeah, sure," A tall and skinny man answered caging up the last of the dogs.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow morning." The fat one shouted as he left for the night.
"No prob," The skinny one waved as the fat one sped out onto the busy highway.
"Well Rocko looks like its gonna be a warm night, how about I open this vent for ya huh." The skinny one said patting a well built dog on the head as he reached over him and opened the vent close to the dogs' nose. A black mist swirled out and the dog sniffed it. The dog stood and growled at the man in its cage.
"Hey rocko come on buddy you know me." He stammered standing a backing into a corner. The dog jumped and bit the man hard in the neck.
The man let out a watery scream and fell to the ground. The dog ran out of its cage and started to bite the other animals in the shelter and started it trek to Yumi, Jeremy, Ulrich, and Odds' school (does anyone know what it's called yet?).
Back at Yumi's house, morning.
The light broke through Yumi's curtains and Lightning started to lick her face.
"I'm up," She laughed sitting and cuddling him into her lap.
"Yumi breakfast is ready." Her mother called up the stairs.
"Coming," She called back. Yumi took a quick shower, brushed her hair and teeth, threw on her clothes, and went down the stairs for breakfast.
At School
"Hey Yumi did you hear about the man who died from a dog bite last night?" Odd asked as they greeted her at the school gates.
"No, do you think it could be Xana?" She asked.
"It might be they said that it looked as though all of the cages were broken into and all of the animals are missing." Jeremy said as they walked up the stairs to the school.
"I'll go see if Aelita found any Pulsations." Jeremy said as he pulled out his laptop and ran for the library.
"We'll be in class." Yumi answered tugging Ulrich with her.
"Do you think it could be Xana and the ravenous animals are on their way here?" Odd asked Yumi and Ulrich.
As if to answer the question they opened the door to the science lab, it was empty except for a large and mean looking black dog.
"Yes now I think that it is Xana." Ulrich gulped squeezing Yumi's hand, "run!" Ulrich screamed pulling Yumi with him and Odd followed as the dog lunged out of the room after them.
"Where are going to go?" Yumi asked as she and Ulrich skidded to a stop just as two more dogs rounded the corner and ignored the other students.
"To the library," he answered pulling her along and watching Odd who was in front of him.
"Jeremy! Jeremy!" They all screamed pulling open the doors.
"Guys help me." He screamed throwing an angry cat off of his arm.
"We're coming." Yumi yelled as she threw another cat off of Jeremy.
"Let's go," Ulrich yelled from his post by the door, "if we can make it to that window we can use the passage in the park." He pointed as they ran to him.
"Alright, but isn't this the uh, second floor?" Odd asked looking down the hall as two dogs rounded on them.
"We don't have any other choice do we?" Ulrich asked swallowing hard.
"There's no way we could survive a jump from the window." Yumi said grabbing Ulrich's arm.
"What else is there?" He asked looking to her.
"I'll distract the dogs and you guys go ahead, I'll meet you there." She said watching as the growling dogs moved closer.
"Yumi you can't, you could be killed like the guy at the shelter." Ulrich gasped turning to her and grabbing both of her hands.
"Or I could be killed jumping from a two story window." She said.
"But Yumi," Ulrich pleaded.
"You three go now, I can handle this." She said letting go of Ulrich's hands as she ran foreword and jumped clear over the dogs outstretched heads and beckoned them to run after her. "Go!" She screamed to the others as she and the dogs disappeared around the corner.
"You heard her come on." Ulrich yelled as they ran down the hall Yumi ran.
"Wait you guys I think she might be trouble." Odd whispered as he bumped into Ulrich.
"What do you mean?" Jeremy and Ulrich asked in unison.
"Look," He pointed to a trail of blood.
"We can't go after her, she said she'd meet us there and Yumi always keeps a promise." Ulrich said as he dashed into the school yard and watched Jim try to fight off a very aggressive looking poodle. (lol a lil comic relief).
"Let's hurry.' Jeremy shouted over the screams.
"Coming." Odd and Ulrich cried running after him to the passage in the park.
They opened the manhole and slid down. Jeremy grabbed his scooter and Odd and Ulrich grabbed their skateboards. They ran across the bridge and into the factory. They entered the elevator and went to Jeremy's computer.
"It's about time you guys showed up." A voice called from as corner.
"Yumi your okay." Odd yelled running to her.
"Of course I am." She smiled noticing Ulrich's face lighten a little.
"Aelita," Jeremy called.
"Yes Jeremy?" She asked.
"Have you found any pulsations?" He asked her.
"I have, I'm in the ice region now." She said.
"I'll locate the tower, Aelita I'm sending Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi in they'll help you."
"I'll be waiting." She smiled disappearing.
Ulrich and the rest went to the scanner room.
In Lyoko.
"Hey Aelita," Odd called running up to her.
"Hello." She smiled as Yumi and Ulrich joined them.
"There, the towers over that way." She pointed to a tower with a red haze around it.
"Okay time to get moving." Odd smiled as they walked foreword.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" A voice shot from behind them. They all spun around and found a group of teenagers much like themselves looking at them.
"What the?" Odd muttered.
"Hey you funny haired boy," A tall slender one with longish black hair called pulling a sword.
"What do you call him?" Ulrich seethed walking foreword.
"Hey you're cute." A girl piped in, she was dressed in a mini skirt and a smaller top with jewels in it.
"Who are you?" Yumi asked looking them up and down.
"We are X.A.N.A." The other boy called.
"You're Xana?" Odd asked stunned. Aelita let a small gasp.
"Yeah and we don't like the way you guys always mess everything up for us." A smaller girl piped in.
"They aren't real human beings their just a program made by Xana to scare you off." Jeremy told them.
"Great our cover is blown." The leader snickered as he sliced into Odd.
"Great, Odd you lost 20 life points." Jeremy yelled a fight broke loose.
"Aelita get to the tower we'll be okay." Ulrich yelled brining his sword down on a girl that looked like Yumi and she vanished.
"Ulrich behind," Yumi called throwing her fan into the boys chest that advanced on her.
"Got it," He called back as another boy disappeared.
"Laser arrow," Odd called as he flipped over other boys' head and got him in the back and he too disappeared.
"Well if it isn't the rest of the welcome party with a few more friends." Yumi sighed as she advanced towards them.
"Aelita hurry," Ulrich called, "Odd you go with Aelita and protect her." He said.
"Aright," Odd agreed running after her.
"Are you ready Yumi?" Ulrich asked glancing towards her.
"Let's kick some butt." She smiled throwing her fan into a crab and it exploded.
Aelita and Odd
"We're almost there." Aelita said pointing to the tower that loomed in front of them.
"Okay, I've got your back." Odd shouted shooting a crab.
Odd turned and watched as Aelita stepped through the tower.
"Jeremy," Odd called.
"Jeremy!" He called louder this time, still no answer.
back in the factory
"N-n-nice doggy," Jeremy panted squeezing even further into a corner. The dog growled louder and advanced towards him.
Lyoko
"Ulrich behind you," Yumi called as her fan struck a crab and it exploded.
"They won't stop coming." Ulrich cried as more and more kept showing up.
"We'll just have to hope that Aelita gets to the tower soon." Yumi said as she ran towards a hornet.
Odd and Aelita
"Laser arrow," Odd called as a blast caught him in the chest and he disappeared.
factory
Odd awoke a few moments later and ran to where Jeremy was.
"Jeremy its okay Aelita is at the tower." Odd yelled to him as the dog jumped. "Jeremy!" Odd screamed then it all stopped.
"Return to the past," Jeremy said in one long breath.
White bubble thingy
"It's so hot here." Odd complained fanning himself as he leaned against the gates to the school.
"Well at least there aren't any crazy animals around." Ulrich said and they all laughed.
"Well I got to get going." Yumi said as she left through the gates to her house.
"We'll see you later." Ulrich called as he waved her goodbye.

Well now I have to go brainstorm for a few more ideas, oh and did anyone see the Code: Lyoko after Routine? I missed it on accident and I want to know what happened so please let me know.

Summer was nearing and the whole school was growing restless; even the teacher were starting to slack. The bell rang signaling lunch.
