A / N: I worked on part of this during the site outage, and it gave me a LOT of time! That's the good news. The bad news is my parents banned me from computer for a week. More bad news: I forgot to update on the last chapter before the site outage. So, I had to wait about 5 days before updating. Oh well. Anyway, I'm so glad that you reviewed my story! Thank you so much! I'd like to thank everyone for sending so many reviews, especially ededdneddy345 and Black Wolf Pup Priestess for sending so many reviews! I really didn't think I'd get this many! And now, on with the story!
Disclaimer: You know this already.

Last time, Knuckles, Amy and Tails found the factory via the Chaos Emeralds' signal. Sonic had already gotten out of Lyoko, and as soon as he got to the supercomputer room, Jeremy did a scan on the emerald's power. Just then, Knuckles, Tails and Amy went straight through the roof of the factory. As soon as they saw the CL gang, Amy tried to kill Jeremy, but Sonic calmed her down, and they explained everything. Soon after, another Chaos Emerald was spotted on the holo-map. Everyone except Tails was transferred to Lyoko, and met up with Aelita. There was about 30 monsters guarding the emerald, but they fought them all back. And just when there were a few more left, there was a swarm of 50 hornets. Apparently, they needed back up, and Jeremy sent Tails to Lyoko with a new weapon called the Power Missile. Tails was able to catch up with Sonic and the others and help them destroy the swarm. But even though they got the emerald, a hornet they missed made a break for it with the Crystal Ring. Sonic tried to catch up, but a strange vortex appeared and the hornet went through it and vanished. And now Xana has some new plans………..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a week since the green emerald was found. Jeremy was talking with Aelita (That's new………NOT!), Ulrich has been dominating soccer and flirting with Yumi, and Odd has been…well, odd. Sonic and the crew have been staying at the factory while Tails took the emeralds to the workshop. When he got back, though, Sonic was gone.
"Um, guys? Where did Sonic go?"
"You know Sonic," Said Knuckles, smirking. "He hates being cooped up. He couldn't stay still and went to run around in the park."
"Oh." 'Well, that's expected of him!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARK
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonic was speeding through the park and was jumping on and off of the trees and branches. Whenever he ran past a tree, the whole tree nearly ripped out of the ground. Unfortunately, he tripped on the manhole, and fell headfirst into a tree. For about a minute, he was dazed, then he returned to his senses. He saw a few jets flying through the sky, going at an incredible speed.
"Those guys must be in a hurry. I should be, too. Tails is probably back at the factory by now." And he sped right through the manhole and toward the factory.

KIDAC HIGH SCHOOL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Class," said Mrs. Hertz. "Meet your new classmate." A girl walked into the classroom. She had straight blonde hair, blue eyes, a yellow t-shirt with some logo on it, blue jeans, and white sneakers. "Her name is Zoe. She is an exchange student from America. I hope that you will all give her a warm welcome." After the introduction, Zoe took the seat across from Odd. Odd started to look a bit exited.
"Oh boy,' said Ulrich. "That's the look he gets when he likes a girl."
After class, Odd waited by the door too see Zoe. As soon as the passed through, Odd started a conversation.
"Um, hi."
"Hi."
"So, I hear you're new here?"
"Yes."
"That's what I thought. So, where do you live?"
"I'm gonna move into the school."
"Oh. Do your parents live around here?"
All of a sudden, Zoe didn't look very happy. "Um…I…I'd rather not talk about it." She walked away, looking very depressed.
"Huh?" Odd looked confused.
"I don't know." Ulrich grabbed Odd by the shoulder. "But I DO know that we have math class next, and if I'm late because of you, you'll be doing my homework for a week." Ulrich dragged Odd down the hallway.

KIDAC HIGH SCHOOL: JEREMY'S DORM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeremy was talking with Aelita and telling her some more about humans on Earth, when she suddenly heard pulsations.
"Jeremy! Xana's woken up! The pulsations are stronger than ever!"
"Of all the times in the world! Why now?!" Jeremy was typing frantically on his computer. "I've launched a scan. Soon we'll know where the tower is. And, thanks to a new upgrade I've installed into the scan system, we'll know what he's planning." The computer started to check the towers for contaminations while Aelita came out of her tower to look for pulsations.
"I'll call the others to keep on the look out for anything weird. In the meantime, I'll head for the factory."
"Okay." said Aelita. "See you there." And she logged off. Jeremy picked up his cell phone and ran out the door. Just as he was dialing Ulrich's number, Yumi called. Jeremy picked it up.
"Yumi?"
"Jeremy, it's Xana. He's taken over 3 new computerized military jets. Everything is getting wrecked! There hasn't been any deaths yet, but just barely."
"Okay, meet me at the factory."
"Alright, bye." Yumi hung up.
Jeremy went through the school's boiler room into the sewers. He grabbed his scooter and headed straight to the factory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOWN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yumi was running through the town, jumping and dodging the falling rubble. There was a few buildings in flames, and some just completely destroyed.
"This is all just so wrong…"
She spotted a man in a car nearby. His seatbelt was stuck and the car was on fire. The man was trying desperately to get out.
'That car's gas tank could explode at any second!' Yumi ran towards the car, pocketknife in hand. She tried to open the door, but it was jammed. She tried desperately to open the door. The fire was getting closer to the fuel tank…
A flash of red passed by, and the door was broken open. Another yellow flash cut the seat belt and swiped the man out of the car. Without knowing what was going on, Yumi ran from the car just as the fuel tank exploded. She was thrown back a few yards, but, thankfully, she was unharmed. She got up and saw Knuckles and Tails. The man was running away to help paramedics get the people who were badly injured into ambulances.
"Boy, am I glad to see you guys!"
"Yeah, Jeremy got to the factory and told us what happened, so me, Tails and Sonic came to help out."
"Where's Sonic?"
A sudden rush of wind answered her question. She looked where the wind was coming from, and happened to see a blue tornado putting out a burning building. "Oh."
As soon as Sonic stopped running in circles (and recovered from his dizziness) he ran off to help evacuate the town. All of a sudden, the 3 military jets (the ones from earlier in the story) passed by. They just kept shooting black bullets, destroying everything in range.
"We can handle this!" Sonic said, screeching to a halt. Go to the factory and…um…deactivate the tower? Is that right?"
"Yeah. Okay, good luck you guys!" Yumi ran off towards the park, where the jets hadn't got to yet, and sped off on her skateboard to the factory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FACTORY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is ace reporter Jane Johnson at the scene of the crisis in Kidac." Jeremy was watching the news on one of the supercomputer's (5,000!) screens as everyone available headed for the scanners. "Three new computerized military jets have gone haywire and are currently destroying the town. Ambulances are despretaly trying to get the townspeople to safety."
"Okay you guys…" Amy grumbled. "…or girls…we don't have much time. Luck must be on our side today, cause there still hasn't been any deaths yet. But our luck might run out." The supercomputer started beeping loudly. "The scan found the activated tower! The tower is in the mountain region." Yumi's cell phone data appeared on the screen.
"Jeremy, Sonic and the others are taking care of town. I'm outside the factory and waiting for the elevator, so send it down right away."
"You got it." Yumi hung up. "Okay you gu…I mean, okay everyone, get ready for transfer. Everyone stepped into the scanners. "Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer, Amy. Transfer, Odd." ('Does he ALWAYS have to say my name last?) Scanner. Virtualization! Everyone seemed to be going through an electrical, orange tunnel at high speed. Finally, they came to the other end.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What will happen when they get to Lyoko? Is there more to Xana's plot? Will this trial come out good in the end? Or will the gang be deleted forever beyond the data streams? Find out in Part 2!

A / N: Sorry that took me so long. Two reasons I did take so long are…
1. I barely got any time on the computer.
2. I was suffering from small writers block.
But I'm back in business now! I decided to turn this into two parts so you wont have to wait any longer. It took me forever to think of a Xana attack that hadn't been used yet. I finally thought of one when I combined the idea of the bulldozers and the military tanks (The Next Level by Phantom1. First fanfic I ever read. He writes great anime! And no, that is NOT where I got the title of this chapter.) I finally got one. Hope ya'll liked it! See ya later!
P.S. Check out my profile. I need some help.
