Numb

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko or Numb by Linkin Park but I do own this story!

Chapter One – Code: Earth

A solemn person sat typing at his computer at Kadic college, he stopped when a knock was at his door, he spun around to see three familiar faces poke in through his door.

"You gonna stay in here all day Jeremie?" asked a blonde-haired boy with a purple streak through his hair, "I'll stay in here as long as it takes to fix Aelita's programming." He smiled, That'll be the happiest day of my life...

The three grinned, "Someone has a crush on Aelita!" the Japanese girl teased, "You might have something there Yumi..." the brown-haired boy said smiling. "Knock it off you guys, I'm doing this so when Aelita's out we can shut down Xana..." "...and you and Aelita can go on a date?" the blonde ended, Jeremie picked up a pillow and tossed it at him. Direct hit. "Score!" He laughed.

Jeremie turned back to the computer and continued to type, he paused when he heard the bell ring, it was lunch-time. I'll finish this later. He got up and walked with the three to the lunch hall, "So what are you guys doing after lunch?" Jeremie asked. The brown-haired boy began to speak, "Well me and Odd were gonna go down to the park and play with Kiwi." "Yeah, Ulrich made that decision when he saw him pulling his clothes about. He's really hyperactive."

Yumi clicked her neck, "I'm gonna be at the park with the two, but doing some training, I haven't got a good workout in days!" She was right, they had been inside for over a week as it had been pouring down with rain...

At the lunch hall the four settled down on a secluded table in the corner. Odd began to chow down like a pig and soon was racing back-and-forth getting seconds, thirds, fourths and... well you know what comes after fourths... yes, you guessed it! A trip to the bathrooms to throw up for a couple of minutes.

He returned to the table shortly afterwards and sat down, Ulrich looked concerned, "Man you have got to eat more slowly, today it was just mashed potatoes, imagine if it was fish." At this Odd turned completely green and rushed to the bathrooms for the second time.

Yumi rolled her eyes, "Idiot..." she sighed. Jeremie giggled a little at the sight of Odd going completely green. "So what are you doing after lunch?" She asked him, Jeremie stopped for a second. "I'm going to try a new method of reversing the virus Xana infected into Aelita by re-routing the data into local memory." Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other wide-eyed. Jeremie rolled his eyes, "I'm going to try to remove the virus before destroying it. I believe that if I try to destroy it while it's in Aelita she could take a serious amount of damage or even be destroyed herself."

Ulrich and Yumi understood a bit more now but Yumi still had a question, "And just how do you plan on removing the virus?" Jeremie grinned. "By using-" he was cut off as a huge vine smashed down the ceiling on his table, "By surviving today!" He and the others got up and began to run through the flood of pupils fleeing for their lives. As they got outside Jeremie gawked in horror at the mass of vines covering their path to the passage to the factory.

"Quick! The boiler room!" Ulrich shouted as they spun around and headed back inside, Odd walked out of the bathroom as they passed it and Ulrich grabbed his hand, "Come on! We have to get to the factory!" They made it to the boiler room and they picked up their boards, and Jeremie took the lead on his scooter.

Halfway there Odd began to feel queasy again, he threw up all over the floor and his board slipped on it, he fell off and hit his head on the concrete floor. The other three stopped, "Odd!" Ulrich jumped off his board and ran to an unconscious Odd, "You guys go on to Lyoko! I'll get Odd to the hospital!" Yumi nodded and shoved Jeremie onwards to the factory...

When Jeremie was in position he got ready to virtualize Yumi, "Ok Yumi! I'm ready!" Yumi stepped into the scanner and the doors closed behind her, "Scanner Yumi, Transfer... Virtualization!"

Yumi's form slowly Virtualized in the Desert Area in Lyoko, "Ok I'm in Jeremie. Where's Aelita?" "Present." Aelita said as she walked out from behind a rock, "I found the tower it's not far from here." She and Yumi began to run towards a tower in the distance. Two Crabs arose out from behind them and began to chase them, Aelita gasped, "Don't worry Aelita, I got them!" Yumi jumped and spun around, throwing her Razor-sharp fan as she did, luckily it sliced one of them and she began to continue running.

She soon caught up to Aelita, "One down and one to go!" They ran through a tunnel and at the end Yumi skidded to a halt, she focused her mind and the tunnel collapsed in on the unlucky monster. "Yeah!" She and Aelita continued running and soon made it to the tower. Once inside Aelita typed in Code Lyoko, she closed her eyes waiting for everything to restart but nothing happened...

So what do you think? Please R&R, flames are allowed but please be nice!
