The next day, Jeremy took Mimi and Ulchi to the factory using the sewer pathway. Mimi and Ulchi found the rollerblades next to the skateboard.

"Haha," laughed Mimi. "Skating in the sewer is fun, but smelly."

"I agree," said Ulchi.

Mimi and Ulchi were amazed when they saw the super computer and the scanners.

"Okay, it's time to choose your characters."

"Oh, I want that character," exclaimed Mimi. "She's pretty."

Mimi chose a character that had a baby blue one piece bathing suit- like clothing with a little skirt. The skirt had silver glitter all over it and a silver stripe on the bottom. There was a little picture of a cherry right above her heart. Her character had black hair that was tied in two buns at the top on her head. They were tied in blue ribbons. She had white gloves that go up to her elbows, slightly darker baby blue boots that go up to her knees, and they have a silver stripe at the end. Strapped to her back were two sheaths to place her two swords in. The swords were about the same size as Ulrich's sword.

Ulchi chose the same character as Ulrich without knowing it. His character was red instead of yellow, and instead of a sword, he had a staff. The silver staff was taller than him, and the top part was shaped like a crescent. Hovering in the middle of the crescent was a star.

"Hmm... interesting choice Ulchi," said Jeremy. "Just like your brother, but Ulrich has a sword instead of a staff, and he's yellow in color."

"I guess we think kind of alike."

"I wonder what attacks we can do in Lyoko," said Mimi. "I bet it's going to be so cool!"

"You'll find out soon enough Mimi," Jeremy replied. "School's about to start in half an hour. Let's go meet up with the rest of the gang."

While Jeremy, Mimi, and Ulchi head back to school, Jeremy noticed how dark the sky was turning. "I think it's going to rain today." They met up with Yumi, Odd, and Ulrich by the bench.

"So, picked a good character?"

"Yea! Mine looks cute."

"What about you Ulchi?"

"You'll see."

The bell run and class was about to begin. During the middle of the period, it started to pour down really hard like boulders hitting the roof. There were many flashes of lightning that made the dark skies appear like daytime for a split second. The thunder sounded like elephants stomping through the clouds. Something shattered a window in the class, and rain water started pouring in rapidly. The hallways were starting to flood.

"Could X.A.N.A. be doing this?" asked Odd.

"He could," Jeremy replied back. "But there's one way to find out. Ulrich, call Yumi and tell her to meet us in the factory."

Everyone was running around frantically so no one will notice that the five of them gone. Once they reached outside, they saw how hard the rain was pouring. They couldn't see the surroundings around them. By that time, Aelita had been trying to contact Jeremy.

"Quickly run to the factory," screamed Jeremy. "X.A.N.A. is probably going to flood the whole school."

"I'm so wet, and I can't see anything," complained Odd. "We should've taken an umbrella or something."

Everyone was running to the factory and they met up with Yumi. They couldn't take the sewer since it was flooded, so they ran outside. They finally reached the inside and they took the elevator down to the super computer. Jeremy forgot to close the air conditioner.

"Brrr... it's so cold down here," said Yumi.

"I know," agreed Mimi. "And I'm wearing a tank top too. I'm all soaked and cold."

Ulchi took off his over tee and put it on Mimi. "Here take this."

"Thanks."

Ulrich embraced Yumi, and Yumi blushed. Ulchi had done the same with Mimi.

"I wish I could tell Yumi that I like her more than a friend, much more," thought Ulrich.

Yumi thought to herself, "Ulrich is being so sweet and caring. He's so warm. I wish I could tell him, but I just can't right now. Maybe when the time is right. I think I'm getting a cold. Ahhchoo!"

"Are you still cold Yumi?"

"No, not anymore."

"Hmm... looks like Ulchi and Mimi has fallen for each other just like Ulrich and Yumi," thought Odd. "This was just plain weird. I guess it's now just me and Jeremy again, for now."

"Mimi is so cute," thought Ulchi as he was embracing her. "I'm glad that we got to know each other these past couple of days."

"Come on Jeremy, give me a hug," said Odd in a girly voice. "I'm so cold and I'm so soaked."

"Cut it out Odd," snapped Jeremy. "I have to get in touch with Aelita."

"Ooo, Jeremy has to get in touch with Aelita," mocked Odd.

Then Jeremy slapped Odd.

"Hey, whatcha do that for?"

"You were annoying me."

"Hmpf."

"Aelita, are you there?"

"Jeremy, I've been trying to reach you. They are strong pulsations here in Lyoko. And there's been an activated tower."

"So X.A.N.A. is behind the flood. Okay Aelita, I'll send Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich over. There will be two new players coming to Lyoko also. They're Ulrich's twin brother and Yumi's cousin. Okay, Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich, go to the scanners. Transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich, transfer Odd. Scanner Yumi, scanner Ulrich, scanner Odd. Virtualization. Okay Mimi and Ulchi. Ready to go to Lyoko?"

"Yep, we're ready."

"Transfer Mimi, transfer Ulchi. Scanner Mimi, scanner Ulchi. Virtualization. Good luck guys."

"Wow," said Mimi excitedly. "So this is Lyoko." Mimi spotted Aelita. "Hi Aelita! I've heard so much about you!"

"Glad to meet you Mimi. You look kind of like Yumi." Aelita saw Ulrich and Ulchi together. "Wow, you two look so much alike! So that's what a twin looks like. Hi Ulchi, I'm Aelita. Welcome to Lyoko."

"That's a cute outfit Mimi," commented Yumi. "And Ulchi almost looks like you Ulrich."

"That's strange," said Ulrich. "I guess we think alike."

"There's no time to loose," said Jeremy. "The factory is starting to flood!"
