" I hear a new girl is coming this week," Yumi informed Odd who was standing next to her, looking over the rest of their school gossiping in the courtyard fromthe privacy of the park. "Really?" he replied, both a mischievous hint in his voice and his eyes. Yumi rolled her eyes and leaned against a nearby tree, her arms crossed in from of her chest, 'Where's Ulrich?' she thought to herself for he had promised to meet them here. "Uh huh," she mumbled as a reply to Odd who had been silent after his last comment.

-Meanwhile-

"Help me..." Kate's voice was soft and weak and her eyes held a look that one would only pity. Near where she stood timidly was a tower of Xana's, glowing red against the pale sand. More mistakes, the monsters that were safe guarding the tower were beginning to come suspicious of her form, they began inching towards her. A shiver of fear whet down her spine, 'Why me?' One of the blocks symbols glowed red, getting ready to fire...

"Aelita, what was that?" Jeremie asked, sliding his glass back up his nose. "It sounded like a yell, Jeremie," Aelita reported, while Jeremie tapped away on his computer, "A tower has been activated in the desert region." he said while scanning the screen of his computer, "Do you want me to go check it out Jeremie?" He thought for a moment, was it possible that Xana had created a new monster? If so Aelita shouldn't go alone... "No, we'll wait for the others, I want to try and figure out what Xana has up his sleeve this time."

-Back at School-

Ulrich approached his friends 15 minutes later with his usual slouch and his thumbs hitched in his pockets, "Hey," he mumbled, though his greeting had a sense of annoyance in it, "Well?" Yumi asked, Ulrich grinned. "I fell asleep in my last class," he shrugged then continued, "I got the whole responsibility speech from the Sub," he finished apologetically. Yumi nodded and shot Odd a look who was now nudging Ulrich in the shoulder, cracking up.

The tone of a cell phone went off in Ulrich's pocket, shrouding Odd's laughter; he casually reached in his pocket and took one look at the display screen, knowing what it was going to say. The Xana symbol flashed on the screen. He looked to the others, they had done this what seemed like a hundred times before, they nodded and began towards the factory.

Their chatter subsided as they reached the elevator. The gears of the elevator began to creak as the doors opened and they stepped inside, pressing the button that would take them to the Super-Computer room.

"You're here." Jeremie said, who was quickly typing away at his computer, trying to hack into Xana's plan but came up with nothing. They stepped in, they could tell something was bothering Jeremie by the way he was speaking, " A tower in the desert region was activated," he reported, "But there is something strange about this one, it seems not to be having an effect on our world but instead Lyoko." "But why would Xana do that?" Yumi asked, furrowing her brow, "Well from what Aelita told me there is a new monster of sorts in Lyoko, but I cant seem to get information on it." He said, this was obviously the something that was bothering him, he could normally hack into anything, but this.

"We're on it Jeremie," Yumi and Ulrich added a nod. "Yeah lets go kick some Xana butt!" Odd added, jumping in the air, driven by the thrill of a new monster's 'butt to kick.'

Jeremie nodded at the rest of the gang opened the elevator and got in, pressing the down button to get to the scanner room, when there they separated into separate scanners. "Ready?" Jeremie's voice echoed though the Scanner room, "Yeah." replied Ulrich, looking to the others. "Ok." he said then started tapping away, bringing up each kid's card and entering them into his computer,"Transfer Yumi...Transfer Ulrich...Transfer Odd...," He said outloud, then entered the code to start up the scanners," Scanner Yumi...Scanner Ulrich...Scanner Odd...Virtualization." With what felt like a sudden burst a wind, the trio virtulized into Lyoko, first their basic form, then all the rest.

"Hey Aelita." they stood among the virtual trees of the forest region, "Hello Odd." she replied back with a warm smile. "Ok guys; follow Aelita to the inactivated tower to get to the desert region." Jeremie's voice could be heard in Lyoko even though he was back in the real world. "Ok Jeremie." Yumi replied and they began walking towards the unguarded, inactive tower.

"Ready?" Aelita asked the trio, they nodded at her in turn. Going though the tower's wall, they ended up on a platform that was shaped in a strange eyes symbol, the Xana symbol. "You guys are ok to go." Jeremie informed. "Thanks Jeremie," Aelita responded before taking a dive off the platform in the the black abyss that was lit only by the blue lighted files in the tower.

"Ok who's next?" Ulrich asked, both boys looking at Yumi, "M...Me?" she stuttered, "Age before beauty," Odd said, setting them off in fits of laughter, Yumi pushed him off the edge. "No Faaaaiiiirrr!" was heard bouncing off the tower's walls. Ulrich began to feel uncomfortable being left alone with Yumi, "Um... so you erm, wanna go next?" Yumi's laughter subsided and she grabbed his hand grinning and looking at him at the same time, "Lets go together," she said, and they jumped off, landing on a different platform hat looked the same as the last, "What took you so long? You two making out up there?" Yumi and Ulrich blushed and quickly broke their hand hold.

"You've reached the desert region guy, get ready and be on alert. We don't know how powerful this new monster is." They walked out of the tower, "Alright, Alright Jeremie, we get it, we'll protect your precious Aelita." "ODD!" Jeremie scolded but blushed.

Someone gasped, "Look, there..." Yumi pointed; there lay the girl, in a sparking holographic dress of white, the silver wings of her role-play character still protruding from her back. She was stirring.

"Why... she's a girl!" Odd said.
