Hey thanks for the great review Top20Fan13. I really appreciated it. As I mentioned this is a side chapter and is not needed to understand the main storyline but important to understand the others side chapters (if I get around to others). The reason this took so long was because I had to get my thoughts straights for this chapter. Well anyways enough with the chit-chat it's time for the story.

Begin Chapter

At the airport…

Amy is looking around at the souvenir shop as the others wait in the lobby for their plane. Ulrich breaks the silence by saying, "Thanks Jonny for taking us with you to New York," rather happily being he's never seen The Big Apple before.

Jonny gesturing lightly with his hands answers, "No biggy, my parents just had to buy a few more tickets."

Amy then coming back to them smiling says, "I've never been to NYC, what's it like?"

Jonny smiling nicely says, "Well your definitely gonna need to get some new threads once we get there."

Jeremie is simply typing away at his computer programming a new communication protocol so he can remain in contact with Aelita while they're away.

Yumi is standing by the mirror looking at the planes as they pull in ready for their passengers.

They all see on the huge flashing board: Paris (at least I think that's where this stuff takes place) to New York City Boarding.

On the plane…

The Stewardess comes into the first class section where our heroes were sitting and says, "Please turn off all electronic devices as we take off we will alert you over the voice box when you may turn them back on."

Jeremie reluctantly turns off his computer glaring at the Stewardess angrily.

While everyone else looks at their first class accommodations, Jonny simply looks out the window bored as if he's been here 100 times.

At the airport in New York City…

Jeremie turns on his computer again and tests the program and makes perfect contact with Aelita. Jeremie then smiling rather please says, "Yes it works."

Jonny is at the payphone calling someone to give them a ride to the mall. On the phone Jonny's friend says, "Sure thin' mun I'll be there in 28 secs."

Jonny then answers, "That's sure is long. Well bye." He then hangs up the phone.

Outside the airport…

Jonny is watching his watch and sure enough in 28 seconds a large yellow van comes to pick them up.

The door opens revealing a chocolate-colored skin guy with dreads in the drivers seat. The man then says, "Hey Jonny nice to see ya' mun. Been a while, your clothes and changing room are in the back."

Jonny happily responds, "Thanks Zacky." He then walks into the van and disappears.

Everybody then walks into the van and sees that the place is almost as big as their science classroom. Everybody introduces themselves to Zacky and Zacky does the same.

Jonny then steps out of the room in the back showing himself wearing a black shirt with what looked like silver gears imprinted on it, black jeans, and wristbands studded with metal pearls, along with a deep black jacket, and his pants had something long, black and furry sticking out the back, namely a tail (Listen he'll be wearing this outfit for the rest of the fiction).

Zacky looking over our heroes says, "Listen maybe that's the fashion sensation where your from but here that could look a bit odd."

Jeremie then asks, "What kind of work do you do Zacky?"

Zacky then says, "Well I've had offers from the military as a rocket scientist since I was 14, but I prefer working for Jonny's family as a driver."

Everybody stares at Jonny rather interested by the fact that Zacky works for his family.

Jonny then sighing, says, "I guess the secrets out my family's filthy stinking rich."

Everybody then stares rather wierded out that Jonny would be rich when he hardly acts the part.

Amy breaking the silence asks, "So the shopping is on you?"

Jonny smiles in the way meaning yes. He then starts pushing the metal pearls and then the boom box turns on. While everyone else is wondering what the rhythmic booms are Jonny and Zacky are bobbing their heads up and down in tune with the beat.

At the mall…

Jonny leads them to the sections of the store that suited them and let them have a look around.

Ulrich started to have a look around fashion for punks, which strangely seemed to interest him. Yumi went looking through things that would seem to let her blend in. Amy and Odd went looking for clothes that would stand out which pretty much suit their personality. Jeremie went looking around the stuff for "Techno geeks".

Ulrich decided on a leather short sleeve jacket, and tight leather pants, which seemed to go well with his usual brown shirt.

Yumi chose a lime green tank top and tight fitting blue jeans.

Amy chose a purple shirt with the sleeves cut off at the elbow, and a pair of dark red jeans (yes I know jeans don't normally come in that color but give me a break OK).

Odd decided on a deep blue shirt cut off at the center of the stomach, and long black jeans.

Jeremie not being one for fashion chose a conservative look of baggy brown pants and a white button-up t-shirt.

On the way to Jonny's mansion…

Jonny was sitting back in his seat against the wall; the seats are positioned on the sides of the van.

Odd was looking out the window as the buildings started to change from old, broken down and disgusting to newer, more built up and clean.

Jeremie wondering how all this could fit in just a van asked Zacky, "Hey Zacky how did all of this fit in here?"

Zacky setting the automatic driver gets in the back and says, or lectures as I should say, "Well due to my overly advanced IQ I have managed how to generate a pocket dimension inside this van enabling me to store this stuff in here, and it is quite simple once you really think about it."

Jeremie stroking his chin says, "So what your saying is that you managed to simultaneously generate a sub-dimension inside this van while still causing it to retain it's size and form."

Zacky shortly answers, "Affirmative."

Jeremie then looks at him rather interested by his high level of intelligence.

Zacky then looks at Jonny and notices his tail and ears and says, "So you decided to take your cat qualities back."

Everybody then yells "What do you mean took them back?"

Zacky looking at them says embarrassingly, "Oh I guess I forgot to tell you when we were little I used to love performing experiments and used to love being a guinea pig so one day while practicing genetic manipulation I accidentally gave him cat qualities. A couple of years ago I gave him an antidote which gave him human looks again but apparently he must've come across the genetic code I used to transform him."

Jonny simply shrugs confused at everyone else about what he said but doesn't deny he had the cat parts before.

At Jonny's house…

Jonny walks into the door of the huge white mansion where he and his family lived. Down the stairs walks a women in a long black dress and white gloves, the women is Jonny's mother.

Jonny's Mom, Alicia, notices her son and his friends walking in and rushing says, "Hello Jonny nice to see you again your father and I are off to dinner, I'll be home by 7, bye," she adds as she quickly rushes out the door and into the limo.

Odd then says, "So this is your living room," looking around at the huge room with a black couch that added contrast to the rooms white tile and paint mixed with the gold of the rails.

Jonny then says, "Nah this is just the lobby, the living room is this way," says Jonny as he walks up the stairs at a slow pace.

Everybody starts to follow him up and get quickly exhausted as they near the top of the stairs but Jonny who has already made it up is leaning against the post in a patient yet bored manner. Once everybody gets up there they see a huge room with 5 full-sized black couches, high definition plasma screen TVs coming from the ceiling, and pods just like the ones used to get into Lyoko.

Jeremie asks about them and Jonny says that they're used to get into a virtual reality game that his family's personal game team had been working on.

Amy wondering why she's been so silent says, "Man this place is even bigger than 50 dorm rooms put together!"

One of the TVs instantly turns on as our heroes enter and they see some news bulletin about a car chase in the city, the run-away car was going through the Central Park and almost running innocent people over and Jonny's cat-like eyes notice on the cards hood the eye looking symbol that showed a monster.

Jonny tells his friends what he sees and by using his wristband remote magnifies it so they can see.

Jeremie quickly dialing his phone asks Zacky about any mysterious factories in the area that might house a super computer and Zacky just happens to know about two. So they all split into teams of 3. But Zacky goes with Jeremie, Ulrich and Yumi as they head off for the factory just off the pier.

At the factory in the middle of town…

Jonny pushes open the doors to be met by huge flashing color lights over a multi-color tile dance floor. To cover up their true objective Jonny starts dancing into the crowd and as people give him a clear space Jonny starts doing totally unpredictable, and crazy move like he was having a flea attack.

Odd dialing her phone asks Zacky, "Hey Zacky does Jonny normally dance like he's lost his mind?"

Zacky simply answers, "Yeah he's a free-style fool." Then he hangs up.

Odd and Amy look around at the factory and don't see anything but dancers and a Disc Jockey on an upper floor.

Amy and Odd decided to just sit back and watch the show until…

The car drives clear through a garage like door and clear onto the dance floor almost running people over until it stops in front of Jonny.

The car then starts to shake as its sides sprout out like arms, its tires fold up beneath it, the top rises and the bottom rises up next and then the middle part of the trunk twists around into a head.

Jonny then mutters, "Oh crap."

In the van…

Jeremie is reading over some of Zacky's notes on anti viral programming.

Yumi is looking over Ulrich's leather attire, which fits rather snugly on his body.

Ulrich is looking out the window for any sign of the factory their looking for.

All of a sudden the van comes to a stop in front of an old factory.

Jeremie then says, "Just like the one back home," as he gets out.

In the factory…

Jeremie is looking for an elevator as he feels the floor suddenly move.

Zacky is standing next to a button pad on the side of the platform as the platform sinks into the inner parts of the factory.

Ulrich and Yumi look around rather curious that a huge platform would be a secret elevator.

In the Factory Dance Club…

The Disc Jockey pulled off his blue jacket revealing a striped shirt like a referees and pulls down a microphone as he pushes a button which raised the platform into a steel cage and then every body takes the stairs to the upper platform to get a better view.

Amy and Odd are running up the stairs even higher to help Jonny and Amy says, "Man, New York has everything." Odd simply looks at her friend annoyed by the wise crack she just made. Amy then looks at Odd with the I'm sorry look in her eyes.

Jonny does a head stand, does the splits with his legs and starts spinning like a top and gives the robot a forceful kick to the hip knocking it into the cage wall, Jonny then jumps clear up, and does a spin on his heels as he lands with a fighting look in his eyes.

Amy is at the snack bar ordering up a ham sandwich and some mountain dew to watch the fight with as Odd jumps into the ring.

At the factory…

Zacky takes Jeremie's usual position at the computer system as Ulrich and Jeremie go down even further while Yumi stays there as back up just in case.

Zacky says as if he's done this a hundred times before, "Listen I've found the tower in the cita' region so you better get ready for some brawling in the streets."

He then types some keys as Ulrich and Jeremie get into the scanners and says, "Transfer Ulrich, Transfer Jeremie, Scanner Ulrich, Scanner Jeremie, Virtualization Mun!"

In Lyoko…

Ulrich and Jeremie land in a cross section and almost get run over by a yellow car with a checker pattern along the side. Zacky then says, "Hey dudes theirs a pink haired hotty coming your way and she's being followed by some wacked out tank."

Jeremie running in the direction he just heard a scream come from sees a large tank with a missile launcher and big machine guns on the sides. Jeremie determined to protect Aelita challenges the beast by himself.

Jeremie V.S. Big Bang Tank

Jeremie sees the monster preparing its missile to fire at Aelita and Jeremie runs into the way and takes the full impact of the blow losing like 999 life points and then Jeremie loses consciousness.

In the twilight region…

Jeremie looks around and sees he's in a town with waterways for roads and he sees the sun stuck behind a huge clock tower but not completely setting, ergo Twilight Region.

A man then walks up to him his face hidden beneath a blood stained hood and he says, "Welcome young Jeremie to the Twilight Region."

Jeremie with a look of pure terror on his face says, "YOU MEAN I'M DEAD!"

The man sagging his head low gives Jeremie a yes without words.

Jeremie then sagging his head low sadly says, "Then that means I can't protect Aelita."

The man then says, "Listen young Jeremie I am giving you a chance to live again but you must answer a question as truthfully as possible." Jeremie with a look of pure seriousness on his face nods. The man then says, "What are your true feelings for this Aelita person? Is she just a friend or something more?"

Jeremie then looks down unsure; he had never truly given it much thought was she just a friend, some program or perhaps something more. Jeremie then looked deep inside himself for his true feelings of Aelita and finds them. Jeremie opens his eyes, stares the man clear in the face or hood and yells, "I LOVE HER!"

The man then says, "You have truly answered honestly." The man the lowers his hood revealing himself to have deep blonde hair, green goggles, and an intelligent smile with his hair being held up in the air but some force of energy. The man then says, "You may now save her Jeremie, my son." (listen this is a short explanation of why he called him his son; You see Makino the one Jeremie is based off of in Lyoko was programmed with the mind of Jeremie's late father, listen his dad is dead in this so just work with me, so Makino would out of instinct call Jeremie son. Now back to our story.)

Jeremie then gets up and realizes he'd been sitting there the whole time and quickly engages the creature in battle again.

Jeremie V.S. BBT

Jeremie almost out of instinct drives his fist into the ground and cries out, "I call the powers of Makino."

(Ok now this is going to be interesting.)

The world goes black and Jeremie starts glowing and feels his body grow, metal plates form on his chest and off of his hips, his glasses shift into goggles. Jeremie gives a punch with the force of a typhoon and breaks the glowing force along the black field revealing his new form of a teenage man with baggy black pantaloons, a large black shirt, covered by metal sheets, metal plates over his hips, and green goggles.

The monster launches his missile and Jerekino screams "Rising Dragon Claw," as he does an uppercut with the image of a dragon formed over his body as he sends the missile clear back at the BBT. The monster then gets hit but only loses 10 life points.

Jerekino yells out, "I don't think this creature will put up much of a fight so I think I'll use only 10…thousand percent!" Jeremie then feels a power almost a great as Ulrikinai's. Jerekino's hair starts to flow up like Makino's as he leaves the ground beneath him as a crater. He then punches the air in front of him with the force of a typhoon shattering the buildings revealing the tower, as he cries out, "Hurricane Gale Fist!"

The monster then gets hit by the typhoon force and loses 5000 life points more than enough to destroy the creature.

Aelita then runs over to Jerekino and says as she puts her chest against his, "Thank-you for saving us."

Jerekino then says, "No problem Aelita," as he smiles happily. Hen then points to the tower and says, "Now let's go deactivate the tower." Aelita, a rather impressed Ulrich, and Jerekino walk towards the tower.

While all this is happening at the Factory Dance Club…

Odd just got on top of the robot and jumps off of its back to push it on its stomach. The robot then starts to get up and Jonny runs across the bars of the cage, jumps off the wall, and lands clear on top of the robots head crushing it into the floor. The robot then deactivates and the Disc Jockey Referee yells, "And our winners are Jonny and his friend," Odd then climbs up the walls and tells the ref her name the Ref quietly apologizing adds, "Odd."

Amy who just got her sandwich and soda look at the cage and says sadly, "Ah man I missed it."

At the factory…

Zacky is programming in the coordinates like Jeremie does and says, "Return to the Past Now Mun!"

That morning back at the France airport…

Odd asks, "Jonny how come you never told us you were rich?"

Jonny simply answers, "You never asked."

End Chapter

Scarf: Now that was good

Jonny: Yeah it was but I think you gave Jeremie a little too much airtime.

Jeremie: Hey I hardly ever get the spot light so I guess it was time I got some time.

Odd: Yeah I mean come on you know the next chapter revolves around you.

Scarf: Odd you were supposed to keep that quiet.

Odd: Sorry.

Amy: How come you finished the fight before I got back, I was just there for a snack.

Odd and Jonny: Hey we had to.

Yumi: Zacky how come you talk like that.

Zacky: Hey it's just the way I like to talk Mun.

Aelita: What is a hotty?

Jonny: Well in typical street slang a hotty is…

Jeremie: Let's just never mind that shall we. Hey Zacky you've had offers from the military to be a rocket scientist since you were 14 right?

Zacky: Yeah.

Jeremie: Well how old are you now?

Zacky: I'll be 19 next month Mun.

Everybody: What?
