UN IRA!!!! Ummmmm, I mean, on to chapter two!!!

IndustrialFear: Perhaps there will be sex in the possible sequel, but I'm trying to keep this one at PG-13. Though it is annoying to me, I'm trying to keep in mind that Ulrich is only 13. (Gurg, I wish he were older) And I'm gonna try to paragraph, but it might be crazy cuz I've never been able to do it right. and sorry if it's hard to tell who we're with, kinda just have to figure it out. I know this chapter is a bit confusing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko, or any songs that might happen to be by The Clash, or anything else.

Ch. 2 Odd Won't Let Me Think

Aelita was hysterical with fear.

"Jeremy! I don't understand! How could this have happened so quickly?" Jeremie hated to see her so upset, but he still didn't fully understand the reason.

"Aelita," he said in what he hoped was a soothing voice, "calm down. Please tell me what's going on." Aelita was not calm.

"I don't know!" she shrieked. "I can feel pulsations from every direction! The air doesn't feel right!" Jeremie was worried now.

"What do you mean, 'the air doesn't feel right'?"

"It just doesn't! It feels so wrong! It keeps moving! It feels so.... so.... so real, and strong"

Jeremie said, "Like a tornado?"

"No! Not like that at all! I've never felt anything like this before." Jeremie fought to stay calm- it was bad enough with Aelita acting the way she was.

"Alright," he said. "Don't do anything yet, I'm going to run a scan.

Odd couldn't see anymore. He could feel, but only one thing. It was a very powerful vacuum cleaner stuck inside his skull. He could feel it there, sucking harder and harder every second. Swallowing his brain. 'ah well,' he thought, 'there was nothing left in there anyways.' More laughing. How could he help himself? It was all just so funny. Another sneezing attack started. Sneezing and laughing. Funny, but the sneezes hurt like hell. This had to stop. It wasn't going to be funny for much longer.

In a last attempt to help himself, Odd reached out his hands in front of him, grabbing for anything and everything. He felt something, but before he could begin to decide what it might be, he felt a sharp slap on his cheek. He collapsed into the cold grass.

"What do you think your doing, you creep?! Don't you know who my- Odd?"

Sparks showered down from above. Ulrich watched as many of them landed in Yumi's hair. For about four seconds they just looked at each other, then instinct got the better of them. Without letting go of each other, they dove out from beneath the streetlamp. They watched helplessly from the ground as it wobbled dangerously. Yumi let out a small scream as it fell into her own driveway, crushing her mother's car. Ulrich covered Yumi's face as they were showered in glass, and more sparks.

"Mom! Dad!" Yumi screamed towards her dark house. The car was surrounded with flames now, and they were becoming alarmingly close to the telephone wires of Yumi's house.

"I have to go!" The girl ran towards her home, with Ulrich right behind her.

Yumi was surprised to find that the door was locked.

"Come on!" Ulrich yelled, grabbing Yumi's hand. Together they threw their weight against it. A loud CRACK came from the hinges. They slammed into the wood again, and the door groaned.

"One more," Ulrich said through clenched teeth. He gave the door a good kick, and it separated from the hinges completely, and fell inward.

The house was quiet.

"Mom! Dad?" No answer. Yumi looked at Ulrich with scared, wide eyes.

Ulrich didn't know what to say.

"Maybe we should just-," but Yumi was already running towards the back of the house, not bothering to switch on any lights.

After ten minutes of searching and yelling, there was a very loud POP. The air felt extremely hot. Smoke was pouring out from the kitchen ceiling. They could hear snapping wood, and the ceiling began to sag down towards the floor.

"Get out of the house Yumi! Come on!" Ulrich yelled, grabbing her hand. They went through the opening where the front door had once been, and found that fire hade taken almost the entire roof.

"They weren't inside," Yumi said this just as much to herself as Ulrich.

"No." He put his hand on her shoulder.

They both heard the sirens in the distance. Then the entire roof of Yumi's house collapsed.

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"A mistake. I need to rerun the scan."

Jeremie typed frantically on the supercalculator's keyboard. His face was barely an inch from the screen. The results did not change.

"Impossible!"

"Jeremie!" Aelita was impatient. "Tell me what's going on."

Jermie shook his head in disbelief.

"According to this scan, XANA has activated five –no, wait, there's one more- six towers!"

"Not possible," Aelita yelled, wishing she could believe it. Wanting to believe it was impossible, and pretend nothing was happening. Unfortunately, as the ground of Lyoko lurched and began to shake incredibly hard, she knew that something was happening. Something they hadn't experienced before.

Sissy stared down at Odd, who wasn't moving. She shook his shoulder slightly.

"Odd? What's wrong with you?"

For a long time they didn't move, then Odd's hand gripped her wrist. She held back a scream. Odd stood up quickly, and started singing.

"I'm all lost in the super-market.

I can no longer shop happily

I came in here for that special offer.

A guaranteed perso- GIVE ME YOUR CELLPHONE!"

Sissy stumbled backward.

"W-w-what?"

Odd ignored her, and pulled his own phone out of his pocket. He pushed a single speed dial number.

"Hello?"

"Yumi!"

"Odd? This is Jeremie, and we've got a really big-"

"Shut-up, Yumi! Ulrich thinks you're hot. And you know what else? Sissy is here. We're in the woods. You should bring Ulrich, he'd be really-"

"Odd! What is wrong with you? I'm trying to tell you that we have a serious problem! Come to the factory now!"

"Oh yeah? I bet we have a more serious problem in the woods. I lost my cell phone!"

"Jeremie please tell me there's an explanation."

"I can't! Odd won't let me think! SHUT-UP, ODD!" Jeremie hung up on Odd, who was singing something in Spanish.

"Alright Aelita. Stay hidden. I'm going to call Yumi and Ulrich, because Odd has gone insane." He dialed Ulrich's number.

"Jeremie?" Ulrich's voice brought a great feeling of relief.

"Thank God I'm not Yumi."

"What?"

"Never mind. Is she with you?"

"Yeah, she's talking to some firemen."

"Okay, I'll ask you about that later. Right now, something horrible has happened. Odd won't come, so you guys had better hurry up!"

"On our way."

"So you don't know where they are?" The fireman took off his hat, and laid it on the hood of the truck.

"No. They weren't home," Yumi was trying to act calm and grown up. She could see Ulrich talking on his cell phone a short ways off.

"Well kid, for now we'll just take you down to the station and try to contact your parents."

Yumi opened her mouth, wanting to protest. She wanted to stay with Ulrich. She didn't get the chance to say anything, though, because Ulrich came running up.

"That was Jeremie. Something happened. Aelita...We have to go."

Yumi turned to the fireman who had a 'what is this bull shit?' look on his face.

"Ummm. I have to go."

She grabbed Ulrich's hand, and they ran down the street with five angry firemen chasing after them.
