Richie, Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi and Virgil headed for the factory. Virgil wasn't sure why he had to come but he didn't protest any. If he could help in even the slightest way he was willing to do so.

"So Jeremy, how did you finally get the program to work?" Ulrich asked

"I figured out when to ask for help, and who to ask" Jeremy laughed

"You didn't write the program!?!"

"He did for the most part, I just removed a few slight errors in the program" Richie said.

"So you're the one that helped him" Yumi said

"What, is that a crime?"

"No, no crime... we were just surprised" Odd replied

"So where are we headed and what are we doing?" Virgil asked

"We are headed to that abandoned factory I showed you, we've got a girl to save and a computer to shut down perminantly." Richie replied

"Okay, but where is this girl?" Virgil asked

"I'll tell you when we get to the factory" Richie chuckled.

They arrived and Richie explained to Virgil thebasics of what they were doing and then he saw the super calculator for the first time. He was impressed by what he saw, he looked at Jeremy and then back at the giant computer in front of him, how could a kid like Jeremy operate such a complex computer he wondered.

"Okay, Richie, do you want to do the honors?" Jeremy asked, seeing he wasn't sure if he could make the program work seeing he wasn't the one who made it work

"Sure" Richie said "but you are going to have to connect" Richie then became concerned, there was only one problem, would Aelita listen to his instructions? Probably, but he wasn't sure.

'I hope she'll listen to me' Richie thought, he then recalled Jeremy's still uncontrollable telepathy

"Hey, Richie, don't worry... I'll have a talk with Aelita first to make sure that that she'll follow your instructions" Jeremy assured him wording it as if he were just trying to help, so as to not let his friends Yumi and Ulrich in on his problem, he'd inform them after he, or rather after Richie, had materialized Aelita... he wouldn't be materializing her and was adamant about not taking the full credit for something he didn't actually do.

Jeremy connected to Lyoko and called for Aelita, she responded so quickly it made him jump.

"So are you going to run the materialization?"she asked in excitement

"It will be ran, but not by me", Jeremy replied

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I don't really know how to use the program... it isn't mine", he paused, "Richie will be working the computer, and Aelita, you have to listen to him, he's worried enough as it stands"

"You know for the chance to be free from Xana I don't really care who runs the program to free me as long as it gets done" she laughed "now you don't need to worry about a thing and neither does he... Ijust can't wait to get out of here"

"Okay, Richie, don't worry about a thing, she's been waiting for this and she'll be an easy one to work with" Jeremy smiled as Richie gave a sigh of relief. Jeremy headed for the elevator, Virgil at his heels.

"Virgil, what are you doing?" Jeremy asked

"I just wanted to meet the girl that you seem to be so in love with" Virgil replied lightly as the elevator started down"she sounds like a really sweet girl"

"You don't even know" Jeremy replied with a smile "she's amazing" he hit the button to stop the elevator then entered the code.

"I'll bet she is, I heard you know who Gear is"

"Yeah, and I know who you are... Static." Jeremy said as he adjusted his glasses. They got off the elevator.

"How did you figure that one out?"

"Logic" Jeremy paused "seeing that Richie was Gear, and you two seemed real good pals, logic told me the only possible person that could be Static was you... and besides, you were hoping that I wouldn't figure out that you were Static the day we met" Jeremy laughed

"Okay so you figured me out... I believe we have bigger fish to fry"

"Yes, you've got a point" Jeremy said. Virgil pulled out his "shock box"

"Hey Richie, ya got it going?" he said into it

"Yeah, almost ready." Richie replied

"Good"

Then a strange thing happened all three scanners closed and then a moment later one opened, and Jeremy, Virgil, and Richie all found themselves holding their breath.
