Im sorry that this has taken so long to put up, but taking on two stories is no easy feet to accomplish. And it appears that this one is going to take longer due to the length of the chapters that it has. On a different note, Id like to thank all of my wonderful reviewers, not just for this story, but for my other one as well. Im glad that you guys are giving me so much support, it really helps me keep going with it.

This chapter takes picks right up at the end of chapter one, and carries on from there. After this chapter, everyone will be caught up. So I hope you enjoy it, but it may not be as long as my previous chapters. But I do always try to keep it above a thousand words per entry, that way I get all the details in...thanks again...Ill shut up now.

Disclaimer: Please...do I look like I own Code Lyoko...or The Matrix.

Claimer: But yet, I do own my ACC's (which aren't in this chapter).


Chapter 5: What To Do?

The Matrix Has You

Jeremy looked up at these words with shock and dismay across his face. He was also worried about what had happened to Aelita, but soon snapped out if his trance and quickly reached for his cell phone. He dialed up Ulrich's number first. It rang a few time until he finally picked up.


Ulrich was spending some quality time with Yumi in the park talking about random things such as school, and what ever else came across their minds, and he also took the time to admire her beautiful features, before he was interrupted by Jeremy's sudden call.

"Hey Jeremy, what's up?" Ulrich replied to his friend's call, also hoping that it wouldn't be the usual emergency.

"Ulrich!" Jeremy quickly replied. "Something's happened to Aelita, get a hold of Yumi and Odd right away!"

'Why does it always have to be bad news?' Thought Ulrich. "Yumi's with me. We'll go get Odd, and be on our way." He hung up and quickly did as he was instructed.


Odd was quite the predictable one. Whenever he wasn't off stuffing his face with junk food, he was in his room listening to loud music and playing with Kiwi. The music was so loud, that he almost didn't hear his cell phone go off. He heard a faint ring, and knew by heart that it wasn't part of the song. He turned down his stereo, and the ring was much clearer. He quickly made his way to the desk where his mobile lay, and answered it without hesitation.

"What's up Ulrich!" Came the usual cheerful, and energetic reply from the spiky haired individual.

"Jeremy just called, and we have to meet him at the factory pronto." Ulrich replied in a concerned tone.

"Alright, be on my way."

Odd quickly put on his shoes, and was out the door in a flash. He ran to the manhole in the park. Once there, he looked around to make sure that no one saw him, and then soon descended downwards into the sewer. He grabbed his skate board and made his way to the other end of the tunnel. Once there, he made his way up the latter, and dashed across the bridge. He grabbed one of the hanging ropes, slid down to the elevator, and prepared to join up with the rest of the group.


"Sorry I took so long, traffic was horrible." Odd joked about in the usual way.

"Took you long enough, Jeremy wasn't going to tell us what is wrong until you got here." Ulrich complained.

"Well now that Im here...humor me."

"I don't think that you will find this humorous at all Odd." Jeremy began in a low, worried tone.

"I was talking to Aelita as I usually do, and just then, the power shuts down, and she disappears. And a few moments later, a message appeared on my screen."

"What did it say." Ulrich piped up.

"Have a look for yourself." Jeremy pointed to the screen.

The message that XANA left had never went away, as the group overlooked the message, they were shocked and each (except for Jeremy) had a blank stare on there face once they were done reading it. They stood there in silence, wondering what they should do.

"You see, she's gone. And we have to find out exactly where she is." Jeremy broke the silence.

"Well the message said something about this Matrix place, we should try to go there." Odd suggested.

"It's a good idea, but how would we do it, we don't even have a clue on how to access it."

"Wait." Yumi suddenly jumped in. "Remember that time that XANA trapped us in that alternate reality?"

"Yes, go on."

"Well, couldn't you track where the message came from, and use that to lead you to The Matrix?"

I don't know Yumi, this seems a bit harder than last time. Before I had a signal to go off of, now I don't even have that."

"Isn't there anything you can do?"

Jeremy thought for a moment. He wasn't about to give up his search for Aelita before it began. He wasn't sure exactly what to do, but he kept thinking how Yumi's idea just might work.

"Yumi, I thought it over. Looks like we are going with your plan, but it wont be easy, and we may even have to try a few times before we get a successful run."

"What happens if it's unsuccessful?" Ulrich asked, getting a little worried.

"Don't worry Ulrich, if the run is unsuccessful, then the super calculator will simply not allow you to be virtualized there. And I doubt that there are any other places like Lyoko or The Matrix, so the answer will be obvious once you get there. And who knows, maybe there is someone else there you can consult with on the matter to make sure."

"I hope you are right Jeremy." Ulrich stated, still worried.

"Alright then. No time to lose." Odd said eagerly. "We'll be down in the scanner room awaiting your orders, captain." He chuckled.

'I swear, the only time Odd is ever serious is when he's eating' Jeremy thought to himself.


Yumi kept thinking of what this new world would be like. She also wondered what if Jeremy's predictions were false, and if his calculations were incorrect, and that the scanners would send them into an interdimentional void.

"You ok there Yumi?" Came Ulrich's soothing voice.

"Yeah, just a little nervous is all." She said, trying not to blush.

"Just think of the first time we went to Lyoko. Sure we were scared at first, but now we go there on a regular basis."

"You have a good point Ulrich, thank you."

"Your welcome, just trying to help."

They soon arrived to the scanner level, where they would take a plunge into another world that they have never seen before. Each of them felt like they had butterflies in their stomach, even Jeremy, because he knew that he had to nail each calculation right on the dot.

"Ok, everything's ready. But the question is, are you guys." Echoed Jeremy's voice throughout the room.

"You bet Jeremy, lets do this." Odd piped up with his never failing confidence.

"Ok then."

The three hero's stepped into the scanners, waiting for the moment of departure to draw nearer. As seconds pasted, their heart raced, and adrenaline rushed all through out their bodies.

"Transfer Ulrich...Transfer Odd...Transfer Yumi."

Their heart raced even more.

"Scanner Ulrich...Scanner Odd...Scanner Yumi."

Jeremy thought for a second. He couldn't say virtualization, because they weren't being sent to Lyoko, but he couldn't think of anything else to say.

'Aw the heck with it.' He thought. "Virtualization!"


It felt different this time. Not like the usual trip to Lyoko. No, this felt more violent, like there bodies were being stretched out until their limbs tore off. They all screamed in pain. Then suddenly it all stopped. The pain had gone as soon as it came.

They opened their eyes to see them selves in another world. The first thing they noticed, was that they all had sunglasses and trench coats that went down to their ankles. Their coats all looked similar, but the style of their sunglasses was slightly different from one another. They admired their new look for a moment, but soon got their minds back on task. They were surrounded by tall buildings, and they stood on the sidewalk as cars and people passed them by. All of this left the group in Awe.

"Is this it? Is this The Matrix?" Yumi wondered out loud. "Jeremy, are you there?"

Jeremy heard a very faint and scattered voice coming through the ear piece of his head set.

"Yumi, is that you? Hold on, let me adjust the frequency settings, hopefully Ill be able to hear and speak with you."

Jeremy did just that, though it took a couple of times to get it just right.

"Can you hear me now...good."

"Loud and clear General, awaiting orders." Odd couldn't seem to help himself today with his humorous behavior.

"Alright guys, sounds like you made it all right, but Im having a few problems with my screen. All that I keep seeing are these random green patterns running down my screen, I think its some kind of code that has been encrypted to no end, Ill see if I can do anything about it. The Matrix must be so big that even the Lyoko supercomputer cant decode it."

"So what do you want us to do while you do that?" Ulrich asked eager to get started with finding Aelita.

"Ummm, Look around and see what you can find, but stay close, and be on the look out for anything. Remember, XANA is there too, so just keep that in mind."

XANA was there, but little did they realize that he wasn't the only threat to them, or that they weren't the only hero's there as well. Their new Journey had only just begun to unfold, and they would soon realize that this was bigger than any Lyoko mission that they ever faced. They all started to have a look around. And 10 blocks away, little did they know, a fight was about to take place. The battle had begun for them, but they had yet to find that out.


I see that you're hanging off of a cliff right now. I would help, but I have ran out of rope, so Ill just have to leave you there for now. I hope that you enjoyed it, and I also hope that its not too sloppy. If it is, please tell me, and I will revise it, and Ill be sure to make sure I do a better job with the next one. Thanks again to all my reviewers, you are so wonderful, and I hope that the "Author's Note" chapter cleared some things up for you. Im not sure when Ill have another one up, especially since Ill be taking more time to clearly write everything. I feel as though someone is just gonna say "It was good except for", and Im sure some one will (I also hope they do if they find something wrong, or that they feel as though is missing. This goes double for you G-Force, since you have helped me out the most). I just feel as though Im rushing, but now that its done, I don't want to revise it right away. Aya, thinking about this can give you a headache. Well, I do hope you enjoy it...until next time, see ya.
