Chapter 7: Redemption
Yumi bade the others farewell, as she headed to her house across the street to go shopping with her mom. Her mom greeted her with, "Kotaba wit oh em gee."
What her mom didn't know is that it translated directly into, "I think Yumi's forehead is a disgrace," but we'll just excuse her. "Mom, you know I'm still learning Japanese," said Yumi. As they got in the car with Yumi's brother, they sped off 3 doors down to the only Kimono shop in France. As they got out, Yumi's little brother said, "Wow, Yumi is in wuv!" This enraged Yumi to the point where, if she was in Lyoko, she would've aken out one of her FANS and tried to throw it at her brother, but miss wildly.
As they wlaked into the ONLY kimono shop in France, the clerk looked at them dully. "Oh, isn't this a nice kai-moe-no Yumi?" asked her mom, pointing to a yellow kimono with pink dots. "Wow, Mom, that's cool! Can I get that for the dance?" replied Yumi, sharing her mother's terrible sense of fashion. Her mother walked up to the clerk and said, "I'd like to buy this kai-moe-no."
The clerk, by now, was infuriated at their use of Japanese. She jumped onto her desk and yelled, "You don't deserve to be Japanese! It's pronounced kee-moe-no, not kai-moe-no! You people are disgraces to Japanese! Now get out of my store!"
As they got back into the car, Yumi was terrified, until they stopped at Burger Queen. They ordered their food, and sat down. 3 and 1/2 seconds later, a hostess served their food, and Yumi's little brother was about to bite into his when his mother yelled, "USE YOUR CHOPSTICKS!"
Reluctantly, he took out some chopsticks and tried to start eating his burger, but it was simply too heavy with chopsticks. Yumi skillfully used hers to devour her burger quickly (Not really, the black hole in her head enveloped it before she had the chance.), and decided to go across the street to see the gang.
When Yumi got there, exhausted from running 30 yards, she had seen Jeremy and the others at the BENCH. Jeremy was saying something about beating Half-Life 2, and returning to normal. Well, just then, Sissy came along, and said, "Hi gu-" but this time, Jeremy interrupted her, saying, "HOW DID YOU GET OUT OF THE BOX!" as he lifted his hand. Sissy suddenly was raised into the air, and her back snapped backwards, and was flung into a conveniently placed box. As Jeremy powered up, he muttered, "To Asia you go!" He then used all his mindful powers to make the box hurtle towards somewhere in Asia.
Suddenly, the PA system of the school started saying, "Xana Alert! Xana Alert! Xana Alert!" in Jeremy's utterly fake voice. Jeremy, who seemed not at all disturbed by Sissy's appearance, said, "Oh! My PA system hookup is working well! We better get to the lab, so we can deactivate the tower!"
As they got to the lab by going through the sewers as usual, Jeremy started dividing up the teams. "Ulrich and Yumi, you'll be on Lyoko with Aelita. Odd, since you're no help anyways, go back to the schol and make sure Sissy hasn't returned."
As they got onto Lyoko, 200 yards away from the tower as usual, they dodged a barrage of monsters by hiding behind a giant root. "I'm going out to help," said Yumi. Yumi slipped out, and immediately got dematerialized from the lasers. "Ok, since Yumi was a complete failure, we're going to need osme vehicles, Jeremy," said Ulrich. As he said that, a name recognizer built-in to the computer activated, and started playing the, "You're losing too many life points guys," soundtrack.
Jeremy was walking toward the cafeteria line, and he was going to order a chocolate-vanilla swirl. He thought to himself, What was I doing again? I think it was...Ice cream! Yes, I was going to get ice cream. I wonder where the others are.
Ulrich, after hearing the soundtrack 50 times over, decided Jeremy was going to be no help, so he decided to leap out, triangulate 3 times, and use his super-fast powers to kill all the monsters Xana hath sent out. As soon as it was clear, Aelita made her way. "Thank-" which was all Aelita had time to say before Ulrich virtually slapped her. "SHUT UP!" he said demonically. As they made their way to deactivate the tower, thesuper-computer played it's "Aaaaaah!" theme for Aelita. When they finally got to the tower, a group of tinies was headed towards them, and they stayed outside the tower long enough to have to fight them.
It was a fierce battle, and Aelita just barely survived. She deactivated the tower, and everyone went back to the BENCH. Jeremy was there licking his ice cream, and said, "Hey guys! How did the battle go? Wow, Yumi, I just noticed, your forehead is bigger than mine!"
Then, Yumi realized that her brother and mom were still at Burger Queen, and all was lost.
Ahhhh. About time I updated. I finally got around to another Xana
attack, whereupon Jeremy got to play his "You're losing too many life
points!" soundtrack. Stay tuned for Chapter 8!
