Ello little gorgie peoples! Uhhhhhhhh, I mean chapter three is here!!!!

OK. I know last chapter was way wack. The page breaks I put in always disappear once I get to the editing page, so now I'm going to try using little 9s. And if these 9s don't show up, I'm going to 9999 those 9999999 who wrote this 9999999 program. (No, not really)

Ch.3 How About We Move You

"Okay, Odd. I'm going to just, just go now. Okay? I'm leaving because ummmm." And Sissy turned and started to run, but found herself in Odd's grip within seconds.

"No! Don't go! Stay here, in the woods. You like the woods, don't you Emily?" Odd was smiling. Not a normal smile, but in a way that made him look like a deranged lunatic.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Sissy kicked Odd as hard as she could on his right kneecap. There was a nasty snapping noise, and Odd crumpled to the ground.

"Don't go! Wait for me!" But Sissy was already gone, running faster than she ever had in her life. Odd was left alone. He attempted to stand up, but his knee refused to support him He started to laugh a little, but then his mood changed, and Odd burst into tears.

SMACK. Aelita's head hit the rock in a way that would have cracked any human's skull. Luckily, she was not on Earth, and was able to get up again.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Jeremie couldn't see the sprite anymore.

"Yes. Fine. These aren't just pulsations anymore, Jeremie. I can barely stand up."

Jeremie had never wished more that he could be there with her. He wanted to hold her, and tell her everything would be okay. Not that he was sure of that at all.

"Ulrich and Yumi should be here soon. There aren't any monsters showing up on the supercalculator, so you're safe. But don't start heading towards any of the towers until they get here."

999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

The chase was not going well. A crowd of people had gathered down by Yumi's house, and most seemed quite interested by the sight of two teens and five firemen (fully geared) sprinting down the street.

"Keep it up, Yumi." Ulrich attempted to smile at her, but it didn't come out right. The problem was, though Yumi was in relatively good shape, with long legs, she wasn't nearly as physically active as him. And neither of them could run as fast as the firemen.

"Listen, kid. Just give it up, and there will be less trouble for all of us."

"No!" Yumi's voice was raspy from running so hard. They never gave up, but it didn't matter. The biggest of the firemen came up right behind Yumi. Without saying anything, he picked her up and flipped her onto his shoulder like a sack of flour.

"Put me down! You don't understand! There's something important at stake! Put me down!" She struggled as hard as she could, but the fireman just tightened his grip around her legs.

Fury bubbled up inside Ulrich. How dare that man put his hands on Yumi? Ulrich was ready to punch, kick, and do anything to get him away from her.

"LET HER GO!" Ulrich crammed as much hatred into his voice as possible. The man heard and ignored him, which made Ulrich even angrier. "Don't touch her."

Yumi had given up the fight.

"No. Just go, Ulrich. Help Aelita. I'll come when I can." Ulrich really didn't want to leave her, but what choice did he have? He nodded, and bolted down the street.

Yumi's heart sank deep into her chest as she admitted defeat, and allowed herself to be carried back to her ruined house. The worst part was still to come. As they approached the crowd of people surrounding Yumi's house, everyone started clapping. She couldn't believe it. It was unbelievable, that's why. They were applauding the fireman as if he had brought back some kind of prize. Yumi felt her face heating up. She was so mad. She wanted nothing more than to kick the fireman. There was no way he was going to keep her away from Lyoko now; she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. Yuma waited patiently for all the other men to get into the bright red truck. Then, just as the man carrying her was ducking down, she elbowed him in the back of the neck as hard as she could. He dropped her, kneeling down in pain. Yumi ran. She couldn't catch up with Ulrich, but she knew one thing: two were going to Lyoko tonight.

Sissy didn't waste any time. She couldn't remember ever being so freaked out. On the way to her father's office, she text messaged Theo so he wouldn't think she had blown him off.

Something came up. Sorry. Tellya l8er.

When she reached the office door, she didn't bother knocking, she just ran right in. Her father looked up from his stack of papers with a surprised look on his face.

"Daddy! There's something wrong with Odd! Wronger than usual! I was out in the park and he just grabbed out at me! Then he asked for my cell phone and called Yumi on his, and he was singing. In Spanish too! And I think I really hurt him cause he wasn't moving after he wouldn't let go and I kicked him-"

"Sissy, please slow down. Did you say you were out in the park? After dark? Why?" Sissy blushed deeply.

"I- I was- I was just, um, looking for Odd! He, um, wasn't at dinner, so I went to see if he was still outside, and he was. Out there. You know, in the dark. In the woods. Yeah."

"I see." Her father said skeptically. "And you say he's hurt?"

"Yes, I'll show you!"

"Transfer Ulrich. Scanner Ulrich. Virtualization."

It hadn't taken Ulrich long to get to the factory, but he felt horrible about leaving Yumi all alone. It was the right thing to do, though.

"Okay, Jeremie, I'm here. Now say the thing about the towers again, you were talking so fast..."

Aelita stepped out from behind a rock. "Thank goodness you're here! It appears that XANA has managed to activate multiple towers. How he has done this, we do not know. Jeremie and I were beginning to think he might have been holding back all along. Perhaps this is a power he has always possessed. After all, we did just perfect the anti-virus-"

"What?!"

"Yes, I'll be on Earth soon."

"But if we've already got it, why don't we materialize you now, and shut XANA off?"

Jeremie's voice sounded for the first time since Ulrich's transfer. "There are a few reasons. The first is that I have no idea how an activated tower –in this case, six activated towers- will affect her materialization. Also, if we were to shut XANA off now, the damage from his attacks will not be repaired by the return trip to the past. And last, I must admit I'm very clueless. It's almost as if XANA is trying to get us to shut him off. Since all of his attacks have not yet become clear, we don't know what kinds of traps he might have set."

Ulrich wasn't convinced. "Then this could be a trap too! These towers, everything. We risk it either way."

"Exactly," came Jeremies grim reply. "And do you think it better to risk it on Lyoko, or on Earth, Ulrich?"

"Yeah, you're right-"

"Just keep Aelita safe."

"Of course. Come on Princess, let's go to the, ummm, wait. Which tower do we go to, Jeremie?"

"I'd say the one twenty degrees North of you, but you have more serious problems. It's four crabs, they should be coming up on your right."

"No problem. Okay, Princess, how about we move you over here?" He didn't wait for her to reply, he just pushed her back between a couple of rocks, and stepped forward.

The firemen were at a disadvantage this time. They were all inside a fire-truck. (Exception guy Yumi has elbowed in the neck, he's on the ground) Though it would have been interesting, the fire-truck did not come chasing after Yumi. Two men got out as if to go after her, but she was already running through someone's backyard. The audience just watched, in a silent sort of way.

It took Yumi a while to reach the factory, because she was moving through yard after yard, each time having to hop over some kind of fence. Eventually, she decided it was safe out in the open, and she returned to the street. It took her about five more minutes to reach the park.

As she was walking through the trees, Yumi thought she could here ragged breathing,

"Hello?" No answer. Perhaps she was wrong. She quickly went down into the underground passage, and skate boarded as fast as she could. Just as she was crossing the bridge, her phone rang.

"Jeremie?"

"No Yumi!"

"Mom?"

"Yes it's me, and I just had a very interesting conversation with a fireman."

Yumi didn't say anything. She didn't even breathe.

"He told me what happened. That you had something 'more important' to do than find out what had happened to your father and me."

Oh God. Yumi couldn't listen to this. Her mom thought she had just run off with some boy. No doubt that was how the fireman put it. Quite suddenly, Yumi's mother started yelling.

"We were in a car accident Yumi! We were in a car accident, your dad is in the hospital, and you don't care enough to even try to find out!? You have more important things to do, do you!? "

"No." Yumi whispered.

"No!? No? What is wrong with you? Have you been-"

Yumi dropped the phone. It broke into at least four pieces, but Yumi didn't care. She couldn't listen, she could only run.

Twice, Odd thought he heard footsteps, but he could never be sure. The second time he had almost managed to call out, but then he was alone again. Never had he felt so lonely. He couldn't understand why he was alone. He no longer remembered where he was, or his reason for being there. Or a reason for being at all.

Then he heard noises. People talking. A light was shined in his face, and someone said, "See! I told you he was here! You see his knee? He can't walk on it."

"Alright, go up to bed, we'll take it from here." Odd could feel strong arms around him. He was aware of being lifted up, and then he fell asleep.

Ulrich was doing well. Three of the crabs were dead. Aelita was unharmed, and Ulrich had yet to lose any life points.

"Just keep it up, Ulrich. You're doing great. We'll get through this mess one tower at a time." Jeremie was attempting at being reassuring, and it was almost working.

"Ha!" Ulrich yelled as he killed the fourth crab. There was only one left, but it had proved to be especially smart in battle.

"Good news!" Jeremie yelled. "Yumi's on her way." Ulrich could hear the sound of Jeremie virtualizing Yumi, and the crab had stopped, as if it was listening too.

"She shouldn't be too far southwest of you."

At those words, the crab abandoned Aelita and Ulrich, and took of running in the exact direction Jeremie had said.

"No way!" Ulrich yelled as he took off after it.

The first thing Yumi noticed was that she was tired. Normally, after the transfer her stamina was revived, but she felt just as tired, if not more than before. She leaned over to try and catch her breath, and her hair fell into her face. Her hair fell into her face. HER HAIR FELL INTO HER F-

"OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!"
