Disclaimer: Ugh…I don't Code Lyoko, .hack/SIGN, Neopets or any of its items…VIOLEEEEN! VIOLEEEN! This is what listening to Yellowcard does to you!
TralalalalaAAHAHAHAHAHA! My brother made a picture of Thomas the Tank Engine with our principal's face, and it says 'TUCK IN YOUR SHIRT!' in the background during IT class xD Hahahaaa!
Angelbolt: Your story sounds interesting. I'd love to read it sometime, if you have a link or something.
The Phoenix Queen: Glad you liked it. NEXT CHAPTER AHOY!
Goopygoo: (sparkle eyes) really? Thank you!
I'm really sorry for the long wait. First I was planning out which episodes I was going to do, and then I got sick and all my ideas went 'poof'. Blah. Then I decided I'm not doing Cruel Dilemma, simply because a) there isn't really anything to edit and b) I want to get onto season 2 as soon as possible, because that's when the real fun starts. And THEN my brother was being my brother and hogging the PC, which meant no chapter for a long time. AND THEN I went shopping with my friends today and saw King Kong. BIG MONKEY! But here we are! Going far! To sa- I'll stop.
Everyone has to thank Schnozberry for booting me into updating quickly! Hooray for Schnozberry!
Jet: Thank heavens. If your Cruel Dilemma rewrite was going to be like your outtake…
Tekirai: Outtake? What outtake?
Jet: You really don't wanna know…
Nyobot: It burned us!
Tekirai: Oo
Tessa: Y'know, I've never said anything here yet.
Jet: How'd you get in here?
Tessa: Purrykitten found a Meowclops plushie on a string. She dived after it and bashed through your wall here. Thus I found it.
Majik: What is this place?
Tekirai: We just talk…and stuff.
Tessa: May we bask in the talkativeness?
Tekirai: The story's starting now, though.
Tessa: OOH! HOW'D I LOOK?
Majik: It's a story. Story equals no visual stuffs.
Tessa: D'awww…
This chapter's dedicated to Schnozberry's aunt, who died recently. May she rest in peace.
Chapter 7 – Attack Of The Fingers and Violins!
'AAAAAAAAH!'
No, this isn't what you think. The writer did not discover that her brother threw out her manga comics along with her Beanie Babies. Or that she'd ran out of cat litter.
You see, Mr Delmas decided to run a little 'Student Media Day' just for…some sort of academic fun anyway. So famous director James Fenson volunteered to come to the school to do stuff.
How the hell should I know what it was called?
Anyway, the session started with a short film from Fenson's work, and tadaa. Movie time.
The women pressed against the wall in fear, trying to get away from the hideous monster before her.
It padded towards her, drooling at the mouth at the sight of its new victim.
The creature stood up on two legs, ready to attack until-
BANG!
It fell to the floor with a sickening thud, a hole visible through its torso.
A man was seen in the doorway, holding a gun at his side. He grinned and one of those stoopid teeth sparkle thingys was on his face.
Somehow, the woman ended up in his arms for some reason as the movie didn't show her moving. (MAGIC!) Their lips were inches away from each other, until giant text and letters started falling on their heads.
Jeremie snorted. 'Totally. Pathetic.'
'Wow, that was great!' said Ulrich, with a big grin on his face.
For Odd, there was fear, shock and HORROR on his face. So he had to wander off for a few seconds to wash the ink off his face before voicing his opinion.
'I thought the special effects were pretty good. But…it wasn't scary enough.'
Yumi sniggered. 'Oh yeah? Then why were your teeth chattering? For the sound effects?'
One kid stood out from the rest of the crowd's chatter.
'BAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS SOOOO STUPID!' Tessa managed to choke out, before falling off the chair she was sitting on and rolling away from everybody else and still laughing.
Majik banged himself on the chair at Tessa's stupidity.
The lights came back on again as Mr Delmas walked onto the stage.
'I'd like to thank those people who came today for showing us that short film. And I'm sure we all found it…interesting. Now, put your hands together for James Fenson to talk about the fascinating field of cinema!'
The students took out tubes of glue as he then cartwheeled off the stage and James walked on proudly.
'He looks funny.' said Tessa randomly, pointing at his feet. She'd rolled back to her seat. 'He'd look better with a party hat, don't you think?'
She reached into her pocket and drew out a remote like device.
'WAIT!'
Majik swiped it away. 'What did I tell you about using this earlier, huh?' he scolded, waggling the device like he would if he had a finger.
---YAY! A FLASHBACK!---
'Now Tessa, overnight I've been working on this new device for you. I call it… The Aquatiger 5000! Using this you can- Tessa! Are you even listening to me?'
'Yeah, sure.' She said, lazily batting at a butterfly hovering above her head.
'You have to pay attention! Now, this device will allow you to do anything I can do. But! It has to be used for proper reasons! AND I have to be turned on for it to work! You understand?'
Tessa was now about 5 feet away, chasing the butterfly.
'Don't worry, Mr Butterscotch! I'll catch you!'
Majik shook himself. 'Why do I even bother…'---awww…I wanted it to explode---
'But I wanna see him with a party hat and an astronaut tube sticking out of his butt!'
'No! Proper reasons on- a what sticking out of where?'
Everyone's attention was now directed (haha! I made a pun!) towards James Fenson.
'Ahh yes, and I'm also here looking for a new place to make my new film. I've heard of an old factory around here somewhere that I'm interested in.'
Ulrich, Odd and Yumi's faces all lit up at this for some reason. Hello? The factory?
Jeremie was smart enough- well, duh- to realise the problem that created.
'The factory? Oh no, not ours!'
Jet watched everything hanging upside down from the ceiling, with Tekirai dangling beside him.
'A movie, huh?' said Tekirai with a tone of interest, 'Sounds like another thing to mess up, eh Jet?'
Jet eyed Tessa's pocket hungrily.
Tekirai stared at him.
'EW! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?' She screaming, slapping Jet's face.
'What was that for!'
'You're such a pervert sometimes!'
'I'm not looking there, you moron. I'm more interested in that remote thingy…'
'Err? Why that?'
'I overheard the computer guy saying that…that…whatever it is can do all sorts of cool stuff.'
'Are you saying we should steal it?'
'Maybe.'
'But it just doesn't seem right!' said Tekirai worriedly.
'You can materialize anything you waaant…' Jet coaxed, resting his head on top of hers.
'Well…I don't know…'
'All the Sugar Sugar Sticks and Tokyo Mew Mew comics you'll ever want…'
'…'
'And Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode.'
'WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S GO STEAL SOME RANDOM..UH…STUFF!'
Everybody pushed and shoved in line to get Fenson's autograph. Some hardcore fans were wearing merchandise with unrecognisable movie logos on them. Others just jeered at the shover…people thingys.
The Lyoko gang was outside, discussing the whole 'let's make dah movie in ze factoree!' problem.
'We can't let him direct that movie in the factory!' Jeremie said worriedly, waving his arms around everywhere. 'If he does, then he'll find our lab!'
Yumi watched him hyperventilate. 'And that means we absolutely have to stop him from using it.'
They all pondered on what to do until Ulrich jumped into the air for a while, finger in the air.
'Nothing to worry about! I've got a PLAN!'
Then he ran off.
'I have a feeling a chainsaw is going to be involved in this…' murmured Odd as they watched Ulrich zip back inside to the cafeteria.
James Fenson smiled as a perky student's face lit up as he handed back the signed photo of himself.
'OMGOMGOMG GREAT! THANK YOU SIR!' he squeaked as he ran off with his nose buried in the picture.
James recovered after a few moments and turned to the girl in front of him.
'Hello Mr Finson, I really love your films. I'm a big fan of yours.'
Fifteen hundred guesses who. Well, I'll summarize it. Pink. Black hair. Very ugly.
Ok, it's Sissi. You probably figured it out by now. …STOP STARING!
'Haha, that's nice. Now, who will I sign this to?'
Sissi thought for a moment. 'Hmm. How about you sign it; To Sissi, the prettiest girl in the world and I'm going to cast her in my next film?'
James chuckled.
'I think I'll sign it 'To Sissi, who's got a lot of nerve'! Well I hate to say it, but all the casting has been organised and ready. So, better luck next time, eh?'
Sissi just growled as she whipped the signed picture from him and stomped off.
Ulrich was next in line. …cool?
The rest of the gang were watching outside through the window.
'How come when Ulrich tells us not to be worried,' said Odd worriedly (…), 'I get worried, and I mean WORRIED?'
Yumi randomly jammed a violin over his head and told him to be quiet.
He cleared his throat. 'Uhh, sir, I was wondering. The factory, have you actually seen it yet?'
'No, but I was planning to check it out this afternoon.'
'Well in that case, I know the factory inside out, and you wouldn't find a better guy.'
James chuckled. Uh oh…
'Everyone here has a lot of nerve!'
Ulrich faked a smile. Did that mean it worked?
Well, if it didn't, they wouldn't be in the factory later that day, did they?
James smiled as he looked around the old ruin. 'This place is great! Wow!'
Think, think, THINK! What puts a guy off an old building? …wait, I'll try rephrasing that…'Well…uh…yeah, yeah! It's a great place! Too bad it's falling apart. Hopefully the ceiling won't fall on our heads!' said Ulrich, grinning and waving his arms about the place (like, real fast. Like in shows and stuff. Well, use your imagination, all right?)
'Great! I like a dangerous set!'
Ulrich animefainted, then quickly got back up again as James wandered ahead.
'Err, watch out Mr Fenson! There's tons of rats here!' He said excitedly, finger raised again.
'Rats?' Ulrich's finger snapped off. 'That's fantastic, I have a lot of shots with rats in them.'
Ulrich waved his arms around again. 'Wait, sir, wait! There's something else you need to know!' he cried as he ran after him.
Yumi, Odd and Jeremie were hiding in a…thingy, up above where Ulrich and James once stood.
'Conclusion: Never trust Ulrich when he says there's nothing to worry about.' Odd said, before a violin landed on his head again.
'OW!'
Jeremie shook his head. 'He tried grossing him out. Now he's even more excited!'
No violins for Jer Bear, but a rabid squirrel landed on his head instead. YAY!
'AAAAAHH! GET IT OFFFFFF!' he screamed, running around with the creature on his face. Yumi completely ignored him while Odd was still unconscious.
Ulrich and James went temporarily deaf, so they didn't hear anything. Morons.
Tessa giggled as she pointed at where Yumi, Odd and Jeremie were and zapped the Aquatiger at them at random occasions from her position on the wall.
'Violeeeen! Violeeeeen! MWAHAHA!'
Majik sweatdropped. 'So much for telling her it was for important purposes…'
'I heard there was a load of uranium stored around her somewhere for years and years, heh. Hopefully it won't be radioactive anymore.' Ulrich continued with a raised finger.
James came across the elevator.
OH SHIT! NO GO DOWN THERE, MR I-LIKE-WHATEVER-THE-HELL-I-HEAR!'Do you know where this freight elevator goes to-'
'That old thing? It's been broken down for ages! However…' Ulrich waved his finger around (it doesn't seem as boring if you imagine it) until he heard a horrible sound.
'AHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!' Ulrich screamed, covering his ears.
Yumi stared in horror as Odd tried to play the violin that hit his head.
'STOP IT, ODD! YOU'RE GIVING ME A MIGRAINE!' Yumi screamed.
'I want to lick your face.' was heard faintly in the background.
'I want to lick your face…' Odd said in a zombie voice.
Yumi stared at him, completely ignoring the hysterical laughter in the background.
'TESSA!'
'WHAT?'
James uncovered his ears when the noise stopped.
'What was that?'
Ulrich grinned. It was a perfect chance! 'Oh, that noise? Well, there are rumours that this place is haunted by ghosts. But I don't believe them.' he said, while thuds and 'OW's were heard.
'This place just gets better and better!' chuckled James, looking around the factory again.
WHAT? This guy is seriously WEIRD!'I know!'
James placed his hands on Ulrich's shoulders.
'How 'bout I make you my technical advisor?'
Yumi stopped hitting the dezombified Odd with the violin rod (don't know the proper name) when she heard it.
'Please please please please…' she murmured.
'Cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese…' Tessa sang as she kicked her feet in and out.
Ulrich's eyes lit up.
'Are you serious?'
'YAYYY!'
'It…it…it'd be an honour, sir! It's just that the principal would never let me miss my classes.'
James smiled. 'Let me talk to him…'
They walked back out through the factory's entrance, as an anvil narrowly missed James' head.
'Crap! Missed!'
'Are you sure this is gonna work?' Tekirai asked, as Jet tied a string onto something.
'Uh, yes.'
'What are you tying onto that anyway?'
Jet stood up and waved the object in front of Tekirai's face.
She squeaked and rapidly reached for it.
'GIMMEGIMMEGIMME!'
Jet waggled his finger. 'Ah ah ahhh! No video game for you!'
'BUTBUTBUT-'
'You know Tessa's always wanted that .hack/SIGN game.'
'BUT-'
'And I know you've been killing yourself over the fact that you don't have it.'
A knife smeared with VERY RED LIQUID dropped from Tekirai's pocket dropped to the ground.
'I have not!' She said quickly as she stuffed it back into her pocket.
Jet stared at her.
'…I like red!'
'Whatever…?'
Jet grinned. 'Once she sees it, she'll dive after it, and we can snag that remote!'
He waited for a 'YEAH!' from Tekirai. No response.
She was reaching for the game. 'Game. Game. Game.' She said in a zombie-like voice.
Jet shook his head, and then Tekirai's.
They trotted towards the factory with the game-on-a-string and peeked inside.
Tessa was clearly seen scratching her butt. She sniffed.
'Ahh….AHHH…'
She cupped her hands around her mouth, Aquatiger still in her hand.
'ATCHOO!'
Whatever button it pressed Tessa didn't know, but a grand piano appeared above Majik who was daydreaming.
'Lalala- huh?'
BACLING!
Down it went, on top of Majik.
'Shutting down…shutting down…LOOK, A FIRE! Dowwwwwwn…'
Silence.
'Eh.' Tessa shrugged and looked around, completely ignoring the crushed piano. 'Now where'd Majik go?'
'He probably wandered off. Typical.' She muttered as she jumped down from the wall and walked out of the factory.
She froze.
In front of her. Was a box. That she'd recognise anywhere.
'HA…HA…HA….HACK…' Tessa stammered, before dashing after it.
Jet yanked the string and ran off, Tessa chased the game.
'MUST GET INTO THE MANGA EXPERIENCE! MUST…GO TO…'THE WORLD'….NEED…JAPANESE MODE…' (don't know much 'bout .hack/SIGN. I should start reading it.)
Tekirai looked behind her sadly, before running to catch up with Jet.
After about 10 minutes of running around, Jet stopped around the manhole entrance to the factory.
Tessa dove on top of the video game. 'YAYYY!'
She sat there, squeezing the binary code out of it. Tekirai tried to not cry.
Jet gave her a 'shh' as he quietly stepped towards Tessa, who was too busy glomping the video game to notice that she dropped the Aquatiger.
'Luff…luff…luff…huh?'
She looked around confusedly. Thinking the swift movement she sensed was just the wind, she went back to hugging the game.
'YAYATA! WE DID IT!' Jet sang as he danced around with the remote.
Tekirai jumped onto his head. 'C'mon! Teki needs retro MMPORG gameness!'
'Hold your Ponytas, let me try and figure out how it works first.'
He poked a button. Nothing happened. Another button press. Nothing.
Jet's eyebrow twitched as he pressed another button. Noo-thang.
Tekirai's grin fell off her face, literally.
'I don't get it!' Jet said angrily, banging the device on a nearby tree. 'It won't work!'
Tekirai sniffled. 'No game?'
'Well…'
'YOU MEAN YOU WASTED A PERFECTLY GOOD RPG TO GET A STUPID REMOTE THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK?'
Tekirai was holding Jet by the throat at this point, still fuming.
'I'LL KILL YOU!'
'Wait! Wait! It wasn't really a game! It was a box I snagged straight from a store! No disc inside!'
They both froze.
'No disc inside…?' they echoed, and looked behind the tree to see Tessa squishing the game still.
'Schmee! Finally! Let's have a lookit at the instruction manual!'
She opened the box. Nothing was inside.
All the colour drained from her face. Her eye twitched as she slowly turned her head towards Jet and Tekirai's hiding place as if she knew they were there all along.
'JEEEEEET!'
'Crap.'
'Uhh, Jet, we better start running now.'
'Agreed. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!'
They dashed off deeper into the forest.
Tessa growled as she tapped a button on what looked like her watch.
'Nyobot! ..Nyobot! NYO-'
'HELLO!'
A picture of a robot with a cat face and ears appeared on a screen on the watch.
'Have you been looking for Jet and Tekirai like I told you to?' She asked, picking up the Aquatiger.
Nyobot looked at the party horn in his hand and then back.
'Jet and Teki-rai?'
Tessa sighed. 'Yes, Nyo. Jet and Teki-rai.'
'But Nyobot been having fun with Kitten Girl!'
'Purrykitten's there too!'
A girl with pink cat stripes on her face popped up.
'It dragged me into it, I swear!'
'Purrykitten! Go back to your stupid Neopet world and find a Faerie Wocky plushie to play with or something! And Nyobot! Go look for Jet and Tekirai like I asked!'
'Awww…'
'YES SIR!'
Tessa slapped her forehead. 'OCs these days…'
A lot of yelling was heard from Mr Delmas' office, before James and Ulrich came out with sad faces.
'I don't believe it! He said no! I even offered to put his name in the credits…' James said, rubbing the back of his head.
'Uhm, Mr Fenson?'
Ulrich was surprised to see Sissi at the other door.
'Can I talk to you for a second?'
Majik groaned as his very blurred and shaky vision cleared up enough to see Tessa's face.
'Hiya handsome!'
'GAH!'
He shot up in the air, surprised by the sudden image.
'DON'T DO THAT! Wait…what happened?'
'Well…'
Footsteps were heard. 'Ok people! Put the cameras over there…'
Majik stared confusedly. 'What's going on?'
Tessa grabbed him.
'No time to explain! We gotta go right now!' She said quickly while dodging more violins that came out of nowhere.
Jeremie shook his head. 'I can't believe it! Sissi got a part in Finson's film!'
Ulrich was spinning around on the floor. 'Yeah, in exchange for the principal letting me off my classes.'
'Just imagine. Ulrich and Sissi, working together on a film.' Odd said with a grin on his face, 'This could be the beginning of a big romance!'
Ulrich almost threw up. 'Tah, forget it. She's gonna be a pain in the neck the whole time.
'Your real job is to make sure nobody finds our supercomputer.' Jeremie said, before Aelita popped up on his computer screen.
'C'mon! It's not gonna be that bad, is it?' she asked.
In Ulrich's opinion, dragging along a suitcase weighing god-knows-what to the factory for Sissi was that bad.Geez, Sissi! You really need one of those trolley cases!
'Are you sure it's not too heavy Ulrich?'
Ulrich grunted. 'I'll give you a 'heavy Ulrich'…'
Sissi didn't hear him. 'And to think that I got to be in a movie, at last! And you, Ulrich honey, get the witness the whole thing LIVE.'
Ulrich made a face behind her back as she continued. 'Oh I envy you, I really do!'
Sissi stopped as they came towards the factory entrance. A woman sat at a table while two guards stood behind her.
'Hello, Mr Fenson is expecting us.' Sissi piped in he annoying voice.
'Do you have cellphones, by any chance?'
'What kind of a girl wouldn't?'
'CONFISCATED!' the woman said sternly, holding out her hand. 'Mr Fenson's orders!'
Ulrich and Sissi stared at her, before reluctantly handing her their cellphones.
Tessa peeked past the sewer wall, which was recently lit up thanks to Fenson.
'Why are we here again?' Majik said, wincing at a nearby drip of something unpleasant.
'Who's there?'
'YEEP!'
Tessa and Majik dived into the hole that lead to Kadic's boiler room while a man with a torch came along. He left a few minutes afterwards.
'Phew, the security's getting hissy…'
Tekirai poked her nose out from behind some filming equipment.
'Cool!' she said as she watched everyone bustle past with props and more equipment.
Jet nudged her forward. 'C'mon Teki! We've got a movie to mess up!'
'YAYYYY…MESSING….'
Purrykitten: Hurrah! Faerie Wocky Plushie! (shnuggle)
Tessa: Anything like that makes Katt happy.
Tekirai: It is kinda cute.
Purrykitten: Has anyone seen my Angelpuss?
Jet: What's this white blob doing on my head?
Purrykitten: There you are, Harmony! You had Ottoline worried sick!
Majik: Ottoline?
Jet: It's a long story.
Nyobot: The reviews came in by two by two huzzah, huzzah, the reviews came in by two-
Everyone else: SHUT UP!
Nyobot: Chainsaw?
Tekirai: Review please! You'll win a gold star, and maybe a shiny penny!
