Whew, busy couple of days here. Thanks to a couple of snow days, mixed feelings about them, I was able to get a lot of work done on this site. Let's see, what did I do... I revised the first six chapters, nothing to big there just some grammatical stuff, I also updated my profile finally, and I wrote a new chapter, if you couldn't tell that then you're crazier than me. Review reply time:

top20fan13: Thank you, I'm glad that you like it.

Flying Star: Yes, I do enjoy that a lot. Maybe Odd will save him or maybe he'll be chased down by something or someone...

dantheman7777: Thanks. It's pretty hard to fool XANA, but Jeremie may be up to the task.

Disclaimer: New year, new chapter, but still no copyright.

Alright, rant, check, review reply, check, disclaimer, check. Okay, everything else is done, so read, review and enjoy.

One more thing. Here is a life point update, in case you forgot: Ulrich 80, two roachster shots, Aelita 50, manipulating Lyoko.

Ulrich charged at the two roachsters. This task would have been much more difficult if the five monsters at his back had been firing at him, but luckily for Ulrich they weren't. The two roachsters began charging their lasers. Ulrich knew that if he wanted to win this that he couldn't go it alone.

"Triplicate!" Ulrich yelled. His two clones came to his sides and they continued their attack.

The two monsters fired, one aiming for Ulrich and the other aiming at the clone on his left. Both shots were true to their aim, but Ulrich and his clone knew what to do. All three stopped and Ulrich and his left clone held up their swords deflecting the shots back to the monsters destroying them.

"What should I do Yumi?"

"I'm not sure Odd... try talking to him again and try and keep your cool. Jeremie doesn't like to be proven wrong so this may take some time."

"Okay, thanks Yumi. How's Ulrich doing with his problem?"

Yumi checked the screen and then checked it again to make sure what she saw was true. "He seems to be doing well. Aelita created a barrier for herself and Ulrich already destroyed two of the roachsters."

"That's my boy. You know I taught him everything he knows."

"If you taught him everything he knows then why isn't he trying to eat the monsters?"

"Yeah you're... Hey!!! You know I only tried that that one time."

Yumi let out a small laugh remembering when Odd did indeed try to eat a monster.

"Odd! Don't you know that cell phones are bad for your health?" Someone yelled behind Odd.

"I gotta go Yumi. I'll call you back if anything happens." Odd hung up his cell phone and stuck it in his pocket. "Don't you know it's rude to talk to someone when they're on the phone?" Odd said as he turned around to face whoever was talking to him. Odd was startled when he saw who he was talking to. "Who who who are you?"

"Why don't you recognize me Odd? I'm hurt."

"Yumi, you got an update?" Ulrich yelled to Yumi after he finished off the two monsters.

"Yeah. Odd's having a little difficulty."

"How hard could it be to find Jeremie?"

"No that's not it, he found Jeremie but Jeremie didn't believe him. Ulrich, you need to hold off those monsters as long as you can so Odd can try and talk some sense into Jeremie."

"Okay Yumi, I'll do my best, but I won't make you any promises."

The three Ulrichs turned around to face the other five monsters. "Okay, if Yumi says I have to go easy on you guys, I will." One of the crabs got tired of waiting and fired a shot at the Ulrichs. The shot hit its mark instantly destroying the Ulrich on Ulrich's right.

"Who do you think you are?"

"Who do I think I am? Who do you think you are coming into our world dressed like me and trying to ruin all of our plans?"

"Well then... how's the food here because I'm getting hungry."

"That's it, now you die."

The evil Odd charged at Odd.

Jeremie sat at the chair thinking about what Odd had told him. 'So that's what happened huh... a virus implanted in a roachster is what sent me here. Maybe XANA has something to do with' Before he could finish his thoughts he heard something from outside the factory.

"AHHHHHHH!"

"Was that Odd? I better get out there to make sure that he doesn't do anything stupid." That's what he said but not what he thought. He thought that he knew what was going on since that's what happened to him the last time he was here. He boarded the elevator and headed up to the main floor. When he got there he ran to the main entrance.

"Odd are you getting into trouble again because I've had it up to..." Jeremie stayed at the entrance, mouth hung open as he saw Odd fighting Odd. "I must really be going insane."

"Jeremie," Odd yelled, "help me out here bud."

"Don't listen to him; this is just one of XANA's tricks." "Odd" said.

Odd reached into his pocket and pulled his phone back out. "Jeremie, catch my phone and call Yumi and she'll explain everything." Odd threw his phone.

"Oh no you don't." "Odd" said as he ran and caught the phone. "I won't let you try your tricks on Jeremie." He threw the phone on the ground and smashed it to bits.

Jeremie looked at "Odd" and said, "Odd, do you think you can handle yourself against this imposter while I check on Aelita?"

"Odd" got a menacing smile on his face and said, "Yeah, sure. It'll be a piece of cake." Jeremie turned his back and headed back into the factory. 'He's falling right into my trap,'Jeremie thought.

"Well you heard the boy Odd; I get to finish you off."

"I'd like to see you try XANA." Odd quickly ran up to the imposter and punched him right in the face with all his might. The force of the blow knocked "Odd" onto the ground. "You're not as tough as I look."

"Let's see... three roachsters and two crabs. They don't even have a chance. Aelita! How ya doing in there?"

"I'm okay Ulrich, but it's getting a little cramped in here. It sounds like you're doing pretty okay yourself."

"Yep, two down and five to go." The two Ulrichs got ready for another strike. Sabers in hand they started their charge. They ran right towards the five monsters and then stopped right behind the barrier that Aelita had created.

The two crabs, confused about what happened to their opponents moved forward. When they reached the barrier they also separated. The two Ulrichs jumped up on the crabs both landing safely on top.

"IMPACT!" They stuck their swords into the crabs right in the center of symbol. They pushed their blades in as far as they would go and then pulled them out. Ulrich jumped off his crab and landed safely behind the barrier, but his clone wasn't so lucky. Just as the clone pulled his blade out of the crab he was hit by one of the roachsters.

"Three on one. I think that Odd should have enough time now." Two of the remaining monsters started to open fire on Aelita's barrier while the third one snuck to the side to sneak up on Ulrich.

Ulrich stuck his head over the barrier to see what was going on. He could see two roachsters firing as rapidly as they could on Aelita's shelter and he could see that Aelita would soon be exposed to their lasers. Before Ulrich could see anymore, he was knocked from his spot by the remaining monster.

"Ulrich, are you okay?" Yumi asked. "You just lost another ten life points."

"How many do I have left?"

"Seventy."

"Ow."

"Make that sixty. You know you really should take care of the monster before it de-virtualizes you."

Ulrich got up, but the monster had already gone back with its friends and started helping them.

I think I'll leave off there. You guys will be quite surprised with what I have in store for you in the next chapter. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. Seven chapters now and still no flames, that's pretty good. I'm in a bit of a writing mode right now so I'll get started right away on the next chapter and I should have it done by Sunday night at the latest, I'm saying that because if I don't finish it tonight and I go to school tomorrow then I'm going to have about three times the work in each class so I'm looking at quite a long weekend. Later.
