Chapter 6: Meeting Halfway
The group rushed over to the factory. Jeremie was running faster than usual from his anxiousness to find Aelita. In fact, he was so filled with anxiety that he fumbled on the rope on the way down to the elevator and slipped the rest of the way down, landing on his arm. Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd quickly swung down to see if he was all right. Lucky for him, he'd suffered minor injuries and nothing was broken, so he stood up, his will proving to be enough to keep him pressing onward. When they got down to the super-computer, all at once Jeremie began to hook his laptop up to it (A/N: Luckily he'd had his laptop with him when he discovered that Aelita wasn't anywhere to be found) and had spare wires that he hooked-up to a little box-like thingy that none of the others could identify exactly. "It's a proto-type," Jeremie explained. "to created new characters for Lyoko. You guys were lucky that somehow 3 character cards - though not specifying specific traits or weapons - were already on Lyoko's server, and they were fairly easy to modify. But to create a new card is a whole different story..." He trailed off. Odd had fallen asleep in the corner. "Wake him up, please," Jeremie said, starting to sound agitated. "We might need his help later-on."
"ODD WAKE UP!" they both yelled at the same time. Odd jerked awake and bumped his head on the regions of Lyoko projection.
"Why'd you have to yell that loud!" Odd protested. "Besides, I was just taking a little nap.."
"Listen, Odd," Ulrich fiercely replied, "remember when Yumi got trapped in the digital void on the same day that Jeremie finished the code for materialization?"
"Yeah," Odd said, listening intently.
"Well, instead of materializing Aelita, he saved Yumi for me. Now's our chance to pay him back and save Aelita. It's the right thing to do, and besides, Aelita's our friend!" This little speech called Yumi to blush a bright shade of red, but it was too dark in the room for the boys to see.
"Yeah, okay," Odd replied. "If you need me Jeremie, I'm here!" he saluted Jeremie confidently. Jeremie grinned and started up the program to create his own Lyoko character.

Sorry you guys, I've kinda been pre-occupied with a big research paper for school and talent show practices. I promise I'll work harder on updating once my school lets out June 8th, k? Thanks, oh, and please review!
