Chapter 6: Monolithic Baby
The night had a certain chill as the Xana-Controlled Dave walked down the sidewalk, a gym bag slung over his shoulder. The bag contained everything he needed, his gun, his ammo, and a few grenades just in case. He was ready for a grand old trip to Kadic, that he was.
As he walked along he planed everything out. He would plant the grenades somewhere in the court yard, somewhere close together so they would make a nice loud bang. Just about the whole school would be empty out then, and in the chaos he'd be able to kidnap Aelita. Once Aelita was safely scanned into Lyoko, Dave would get to the top of the factory and get a good vantage point and would snipe each one of the kids as they came. After the only way for them to succeed would be to get into the factory anyway.
As Dave continued on his way towards the high school he noticed the sudden group of people huddled outside a building. Dave stopped walking and starred into the crowd and at the building, which as it turned out was some sort of hot-club spot for teens. The marquee read "Monster Magnet Live! Tonight!". That alone wasn't what was interesting him, what was interesting was he could of sworn he saw a familiar face amongst the crowd, somewhere.
He stared, his computer-controlled mind scanning over each individual face.
And that when he spotted Yumi walking into the club with William. Dave smiled at this, the fact that Yumi would no be pre-occupied would mean he might not have to waste a 4th bullet.
He began walking again down his path towards the Kadic high school, and that's when he crossed paths with his second familiar face of the evening. Ulrich was heading towards the building as well, alone.
Dave stopped as Ulrich walked past, and thought. This posed rather a unique situation before him. He could theoretically go in and dispose of the two now, with them out of the way the likely hood of the children foiling Xana's plot would decrease.
The downside of this would be, of course, he would be losing the element of surprise he could possibly need later for sneaking into the school. Weighing the options against one another however, revealed to him he would be better off taking care of Ulrich and Yumi now anyway. Should anyone bother to get in his way at Kadic later he could always blast his way threw to his target.
Inside Yumi was settling her self into a nice seated spot next to William.
"Yumi I'm really glad you decided to come with me." William said, trying to sound as sweet as possible.
"Yeah..." Yumi responded flatly "Well... How can I turn down a Monster Magnet concert?"
Dear lord Yumi was growing sick of him, honest and for truly. She actually began to wonder why it was exactly she had still decide to come along after dreading the thought of spending another night with him.
...Oh yeah, that's right. Monster Magnet was the greatest fucking band in the world. That's why.
"This is gonna be a great concert." William said yawning, and not so casually spread his arm around her shoulder.
"Whoa!" She exclaimed, shrugging off his arm, this as getting to heavy. "Will..." She sighed "Will, your nice kid and all but... Well... Look can we just be friends?"
He sat there, motionless, as if he had been suddenly stabbed in the stomach with an icy blade.
"Yea sure." He said weakly "Gotcha." and turned his head away facing the stage.
Yumi breathed a sigh of relief, however Ulrich who was watching it all from the safe distance (and there fore not within ear shot of the conversation) was still fuming as he sat alone. He wanted to go right over to Will and superkick his teeth straight down his throat. But he relented, doing so would only strain his relationship with Yumi.
As the band took the stage, Dave stood in the entrance way to the building and leaned momentarily against a wall. The music then began to play...
You
know you're quite a hot topic
You gotta nothin' in your head
William reached into his pocket and pulled out a package of Tic-Tacs, out of view from Yumi and glanced down at them.
You
got your ass in the back seat
We all agree you're over fed
Yumi allowed her mind to wander away into the music, but she was only brought back to earth when Will tap her on the shoulder and offered her a mint that she kindly accepted and popped into her mouth
You're
from the suck generation
Like a doggie with a bone
You
like your lame fuckin' music
You love talkin' on your phone
If ever so suddenly, a feeling of sickness began to sweep over her. The dim orange strobe lights in the room suddenly changed into a snake and slithered away. The room it's self began to spin and shrink beneath her. A sense of overwhelming fear and joy came upon her at once, she was being pulled toward something. She suddenly didn't know how to scream.
You're
stone monolithic
I smell it on your breath
You gotta 'bout
nothin' to say
From the outside Ulrich made out pretty well what was going on. A now dazed yumi was being pulled into the men's bathroom by William.
He stood and began pushing himself past the Magnet-Fanatics who had taken to dancing and made his way to the bathroom.
Keep
spending all your money
And love yourself to death
'Till daddy
takes your T-Bird away
Inside the bathroom, William pushed Yumi into the rear stall.
"You bitch." He muttered as he entered with her. Will had decided he was going to do what he was aiming to do all along, steal Yumi's innocence weather she wanted him to or not.
"...No..." She said weakly as he ran his hand up her shirt. The drug he had given her made her tired and nearly unable to speak above a whisper. And even if she managed to scream the loud music outside would drown out.
You
want a new load of garbage
I'd love to drop it at your door
Your
gonna eat it little piggy
He had hear shirt fully off by the time Ulrich opened the door. William didn't notice nor care, who was going to stop him anyway? To everyone else in this dump he and Yumi might of very well been lovers.
At least that was what he figured when he forced his tongue down her throat... and then suddenly a hand rip him out of the stall and into the wall.
You
always gotta have some more
You're stone monolithic
I
smell it on your breath
You gotta 'bout a nothin' to say
"Why you little son of a..." William said, getting up and taking a swing at Ulrich, but missed completely. Instead Ulrich grabbed him by the arm and flung him into the filthy bathroom mirror.
So
download some garbage
And bake your empty head
'Till daddy
takes your T-Bird away
Meanwhile outside Dave had had enough of the music and began to step inside the building, before being stopped by a ticket clerk.
"Yo buddy." The fat balding man said behind the counter, smoking a cigarette. "You gotta ticket?"
Dave looked the man over, and smiled a sick empty smile.
"Are
you talking to me?"as he reached into his bag for a grenade.

Ulrich picked William's near-unconcessius body off the floor, and look at him angrily.
"Don't you ever hurt her again you here me you punk ass son of a bitch!" Ulrich said, punching William across the jaw. William stumbled back, but then made one more desperate charge.
Ulrich superkicked him and he went right out the bathroom door.
You're
stone monolithic
I smell it on your breath
You gotta 'bout
nothin' to say
Keep spending all your money
And love yourself
to death
'Till daddy takes your T-Bird away
Ulrich rushed over to Yumi, who was now just barley there enough to know what was going on.
"Ulrich..." She whispered as she cried on his shoulder. "I love you."
You
know you're stone monolithic
I smell it on your breath
You
gotta 'bout nothin' to say
Keep spending all your money
And
love yourself to death
'Till daddy takes your T-Bird away
"I love you too Yumi" He said, just holding her. Looking around, in the filthy bathroom with pieces of mirror strewn across the floor, he never thought he'd ever get such a lovely feeling inside a place like this...

BOOM! the building shook and the music stop suddenly. Screams where heard as well as loud popping noises.
And suddenly the lovely feeling was replaced with fear.
