Chapter 2--Mystery Caller

Quickly gathering up his things Jeremy desperately scrambled out of his dorm room, he had to find out what was happening, if he was lucky, Ulrich's phone's battery just failed. Running out the door he closed it behind him, then a second later flung it open again, rushed back in and grabbed his laptop off the desk. "I'm not going to lose you yet Aelita."

Ulrich hit the end button on his phone to turn it off. He looked up at Yumi, and then told her "The line went dead. He's really worked up about something with Aelita. We might need to go to Lyoko."

"Then we should go find Jeremy, see what the problem is," Odd said with childish simplicity and a bit of happiness in his voice to visit Lyoko and Aelita again.

Running towards the cafeteria Jeremy suddenly stopped, and did a double take to three people on the path across the yard. Good, it WAS them Jeremy thought to himself as he doubled back on he tracks in order to meet them when the paths crossed.

Panting Jeremy stopped just a few feet in front of his friends, and tried to make out the question, "Ulrich. Did your. Phone. Die out?"

"No, the line went dead, my battery is full, I charged it last night," Ulrich answered him.

"I was worried about that. I've lost all contact with Aelita and Lyoko on my laptop, and then the phone went dead, it's got to be a XANA attack," he made out to the others as he caught his breath.

"He's right, my phone has no service right now," Yumi said looking at the screen on her cell phone.

"Mine either," Odd added in.

"We've got to go to the factory before this gets any worse and we can't reach Lyoko," Jeremy said.

"Ok, let's go," Ulrich said before his cell phone started ringing. "Hello?" he asked. A few seconds later he furiously hung up his phone and mumbled under his breath "the nerve."

"What is it Ulrich?" Yumi asked a bit concerned at his reaction.

"Sissi, she just called me and-" he started before Odd interrupted him.

"But Ulrich, Sissi's right there, and she wasn't on her phone."

"But who would-" Ulrich started.

A/n: Ok, there's the second short chapter for you! I had originally planned for Sissi to confront Ulrich about him calling her, and it being XANA, but that didn't turn out so well. So, now you have this. Please review and leave whatever criticism you have for me this time! And all flames for this chapter will go to the "I need a bigger bonfire" foundation.
