Okay, here is chapter 2. Just to be clear, the experiment in Ch.1 wasn't the team working on Lyoko. I won't tell you what it is because that would ruin the story. I'm not sure if i'm supposed todo this everytime, but...

Disclaimer: I do not own code lyoko, any characters except my own or locations. The plot, however, i do.

Chapter II, The Abduction

Vincent was having a hard day at work, as usual. He worked at a newsagent, a small one right in the centre of town. The shop attracted a surprising amount of business, considering its size. And as usual, Vincent was the one who did most of the work. He preferred it this way, but today a good few customers were giving him grief. It was a Thursday evening, and it was a beautiful day, odd in wintertime, and he didn't want to be in work on the only decent day in weeks, but there was not much he could do about it. And the sun would have set by the time he left the place, anyway.

"Having a hard day?" asked Tony, Vincent's colleague and friend.

"Yeah, some customer gave out to me for the price of wine, and asked to speak to the manager. It's hardly my fault."

"What did the manager say?"

"She said that it wasn't my fault, and that she does all the prices herself. The customer didn't really have anything to say to that, so she accused me of being rude!"

"That's not on! What did the manager say to that one?"

"Well, she apologised on my behalf. But once the customer was gone she told me not to worry about it. Mary's cool that way. And I didn't give the customer any cheek, and Mary knows that."

"Yeah, Mary knows the snobby customers all right. So how long do you have left?"

"I'm finished in about half an hour. How about you?"

"I've still got six hours to go. What have you got planned for later?"

"Not a damn thing. I just can't wait to get out of here. I reckon I'll just head home. Nothing exciting ever happens around here. And it's not like I can stay out late with school in the morning, so nothing. You?"

"Nope. It's not like I have to worry about school, being older than you, but I'll be here first thing tomorrow morning so I won't be going out. At the moment I just wanna finish the day."

The next thirty minutes crawled by like hours. It almost felt like time was standing still in the store, but his time was finally up.

"See you tomorrow, Vincent."

"Bye Tony."

Vincent left the store, tired and ready to relax for the rest of the evening. It felt like he hadn't had a break in days.

Well time to get home. Not like I have anything else to do anyway.

The night was quiet, not many people were around the town. Then again it wasn't a very big town. Vincent was heading towards home, when he was engulfed in a brilliant light. "What the hell?" he said aloud. The light was pulsing around him. He soon lost consciousness as the light started dragging him – in a direction he wasn't familiar with. An instant later, the light, along with Vincent, were gone. The last thing he saw was a strange swirl that looked like three circles inside one another, with lines sticking out.

Starting to get the hang of this, so Ch.3 should arrive soon, hopefully.
