Chapter 3: Aelita vs. the Teachers
"Where is Jeremy?" the algebra teacher asked (If anyone knows her name, please tell me!)
"Uh, he is in….. Japan!" Ulrich said. "Yeah, Japan!" Odd repeated. "But his cousin is here. It's only for a week or two," Ulrich explained, and the teacher nodded.
"Well, as long as somebody is here, we can continue the lesson," the teacher said to Aelita. "What is your name young lady?" she asked.
"Aelita…….. Lyoko," Aelita responded. "Very well, have a seat and we will begin the lesson," the teacher said, and everyone sat except for Aelita.
"Is there a problem, Miss. Lyoko?" the teacher asked, and Aelita nodded, then pointed to the equation on the board.
"Your warm up is incorrect," Aelita reported, and the teacher did a double take.
"Excuse me, Miss. Lyoko? What is incorrect?" she asked in a haughty tone of voice, and Aelita walked up to the chalkboard for what was going to be a very long class.

"And that is how a computer system operates," Aelita finished. An hour had passed. Aelita was covered in chalk dust, the teacher's mouth was hanging as far as it could, and the class was wide eyed.
Aelita had drawn the entire schematics of a computer, and drawn the paths of electric currents, where data flowed and was stored, and how it got internet access. Not only had she done that, but she had spent the entire class doing it. It was time for lunch.
"Good going Aelita," Odd said as they walked out of class.
"I didn't even know that a warm up could last half of class. You got us out of it faster than Kiwi is short," Ulrich said happily as they walked out the door to meet Yumi.
"I saw clouds of chalk coming out of the window. What was going on in there?" Yumi asked.
"Aelita gave the teacher her explanation on how computers worked," Odd said. "And that just so happens to be her best subject. I wonder why?" Odd asked the air, and Ulrich gave him a soft punch.
"All I did was tell her about the circuitry paths and modems, hard-drives, internet access." Aelita went on, and Odd and Ulrich said in unison "We better get her to her room."
So they dragged her to Jeremy's room where they had lunch and loaded Jeremy onto the computer.
"So how was her first day?" Jeremy asked as he appeared on screen.
"Pretty good," Odd snickered.
"Well, I hope she enjoyed herself because there are pulsations running wild in the desert region," Jeremy reported, and they all listened in for the news.
"It started out a few hours ago. I thought it was just some rogue cubes at first, but then, I poked my head outside the tower to see ripples swallowing up the ground. Something tells me that that isn't normal on Lyoko," Jeremy finished, and Aelita nodded.
"What has he possessed?" Yumi asked, and to their surprise, Jeremy screamed!
"What is it?" Ulrich questioned, and Jeremy pointed his three dimensional hand behind them. They each slowly turned, and each gave a yelp of fright when they turned to see a pool of green sludge.
"What is it?" Ulrich repeated.
"Radioactive acid. Just a touch will melt you into, well, a puddle," Jeremy, and he retreated into Lyoko just as the sludge jumped up to form a hand. The hand reached over, and came in contact with the computer.
The desk went first. Its legs collapsed, and the wooden flat top melted into a brownish puddle that sizzled, burned, and was absorbed into the hand, making it bigger.
Jeremy's computer than crashed down to the sludge. The monitor melted into a gray goop, and was absorbed into the hand. Then, the plating of the computer melted away to reveal microchips which only remained intact for three seconds. They then melted into an orange slime, which was of course, absorbed into the hand.
Then, the hand turned to the four teens, with the red symbol of Xana appearing on the palm. The only problem was that there were no teens. The closest teens were already running for their lives, and arriving at a high tech factory.

"Transfer Odd," Aelita said into the speaker. They had arrived at the factory a few minutes ago due to the shortcut, and Aelita was at the controls.
"Transfer Yumi," Aelita continued. Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd had obviously used their skateboards, but it took Aelita a few extra seconds in order to learn how to use Jeremy's scooter.
"Transfer Ulrich," Aelita said. She hoped that Jeremy would remain safe, when he was weaponless. To be weaponless is probably the dumbest thing to do next to walking up to Jim and asking to be excused from class without an excuse at all.
"Scanner Yumi," Aelita said, and Yumi was sent into Lyoko. "Scanner Ulrich," Aelita said, and then Ulrich was sent into Lyoko. "Scanner Odd," Aelita finished, and Odd was thrown into Lyoko.

Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd materialized from the air, and dropped to the ground as Jeremy greeted them
"So where's the tower?" Yumi questioned, and Jeremy turned pointing to a tower off in the distance. So they began their long trek, never encountering monsters.
"This is just a little too easy," Ulrich said as they drew nearer, and he was right, as cubes dropped from the air and began their assault on them.
"Jeremy, hide!" Yumi warned as she took her battle position, and Jeremy ran for cover, and found beneath a tree stump.
Odd jumped and took fire. "Laser Arrow!" he yelled as arrow heads blasted out of his furry glove, and embedded themselves into the pupil of Xana's eye as the creatures burst into flames, then disappeared.
"Triangulate!" Oulrick shouted, and two more Oulricks jumped out from behind Oulricks jumped out from behind Oulrick's back, and attacked the newly arrived tank, which vanished after the strike.
Yumi didn't have a battle cry, but she did have weapons. She threw her fan which soon became a deadly, circular light which sliced through the oncoming wasps. The wasps fell to the ground, lifeless for a second, then also vanished.
Jeremy was amazed by the combat on Lyoko. He was considering creating his own battle form with a signature move. How about 'mind control'? Or possibly 'brain wash'?
He was thrilled with the possibilities, and didn't notice that the fight was over until Yumi came over and shook him out of his trance.
"Come on Einstein, let's go," Odd yelled, and Jeremy popped up from the bush.
"Sorry, just, thinking," Jeremy said, unrolling his blue sweater sleeves.
They ran down the path, further towards the tower.
(By the way, I'm deciding that this is actually during season 2 now since I wasn't inspired to write more till I saw it, so just pretend that the beginning is different, Ok? Ok, on with the sorry, sorry to interrupt you)
Aelita tried to access the Jeremy's de-virtualization program, but it was said to have been quarantined by an anti virus program at the moment.
She rolled her eyes in annoyance, since she knew that program had been created by Xana, so it was pointless to try and get past it now.
"You think the answer's in Carthage?" Odd asked as the continued running.
"The fifth sector you mean? I doubt it, too obvious," Ulrich said, looking towards the tower glowing red in the distance.
"It wouldn't hurt to check though," Yumi said, and Jeremy thought. He had never seen the interior of Carthage, and he would be interested to see this.
Finally, they came to the tower, and Jeremy fell through the wall on it to the interior.
Jeremy walked to the center of the tower room, and he slowly floated up towards the platform above, as Aelita would always do.
Aelita sighed of relief, but then saw a glowing, green sludge oozing out of the walls.
"Hurry it up guys, Xana has gotten in," Aelita said urgently.
Jeremy put his hand forward as the touch screen appeared.
He put his hand onto it, and words appeared on the screen.
RECOGNIZING DNA…. The words beeped.
"Come on, hurry up," Jeremy said anxiously.
"GUYS, HURRY UP!" Aelita screamed into the loud speaker. The slime had formed a puddle, which had morphed into a humanoid being, which was approaching Aelita. The slime left behind burned through the floor, and seeped down towards the scanners.
DNA RECOGNIZED. JEREMY, the screen said. The words then changed.
CODE?
Jeremy immediately typed in LYOKO, and it beeped.
Back at the lab, the slime froze in it's place.
Aelita breathed a sigh of relief, ran back to the keyboard, and his the RETURN key.
"Return to the past now," she said quickly as a blinding white light came from the center and absorbed the entire Earth.

"Is there a problem, Miss. Lyoko?" the teacher asked.
Aelita blinked. So that's what it was like to time travel in the real world. She could still fell the warm feeling of the lab chair on her back. It was a very confusing feeling.
"Uh… Your warm-up is incorrect," Aelita said, and she walked up to the chalkboard, beginning the same day she had begun several hours ago.

So Aelita, who was covered in chalk dust, along with Odd and Ulrich walked out of the classroom. Yumi had finished her school day. But Aelita, Ulrich, and Odd still had gym with Jim.
They walked out onto the fields. Aelita crossed her fingers and hoped that all the running that she had done on Lyoko had made her physically fit.
"Ok, everybody is required one hundred yards for the president's fitness today, so warm up,
Jim said gruffly. "As if you have a choice," he mumbled under his breath, and walked to the stands to sit.
Odd ran first. Being the joker of the class, well… he made a joke of it by 'accidentally' losing his path on a straight run.
Ulrich actually did pretty good. There was a reason why he could move so fast as a ninja on Lyoko.
Aelita felt a nervous feeling in her stomach. She had never done this before, and was scared she would do bad.
She took a deep breath, and took off as Jim yelled 'GO!' down the track.
Jim's mouth dropped as he saw the pink flash blur across the track.
Aelita turned around after crossing the finish line and ran back to Jim to see his jaw had dropped several inches.
"Is that a bad thing?" She asked Yumi who had jogged up to her and Jim.
"In your case, it's bad. In his case, it's good," Yumi said, and Aelita scratched her head.
"Why is it bad for me?" Aelita asked after class, along with the school day ended.
"Because your going to be his first pick for everything now, and you're only here for two weeks," Odd smirked, scratching Kiwi on the head.
"Kiwi's a nice dog," Aelita said, allowing him to lick her hand.
"Yeah, all dog's are like that. They just see life as one big party," Odd explained, and Kiwi looked up at him with big old Bambi eyes.
Suddenly, Jeremy came up on screen.
"I've located the memory flie, let's go," Jeremy said.
The group ran out, not even questioning as Jeremy retreated back into the tower.
"I hope I can do this," Jeremy said, looking down at the stream of data below him. He needed to get to the forest sector. The file was somewhere in Carthage, and that was the first suggested place on how to get there.
He held his breath, and jumped down into the never ending blue.
The data stream caught him, and he was blown into the next tower in the forest section.
"That was actually kind of… fun!" Jeremy breathed as he walked through the tower wall and into the forest section.
AN: So, are you happy I'm back? Frankly, I am too. Please review.
