Chapter 8

The new girl

Mrs. Hertz had just begun the day's lesson. She drew a few notes on the board.

"Can anybody tell me what this compound is" she said pointing at the board.

Just then Jim and a thirteen year old girl with brown hair and green eyes came into the classroom.

"Ah, class this is a new student who is going to be in our class" Mrs. Hertz said.

"A new student eh, I wonder what she's like" odd said.

"Hello, my name is Rachel and I look forward to learning here" she said then took a seat.

With that done she continued the lesson. Afterwards the kids filed out and began to head to their next class.

"See you at class, I just want to go check on Aelita" Jeremie said.

He quickly ran to the dorms and sat down at his computer. Aelita's window appeared on the screen.

"Hello Aelita" Jeremie said.

"Everything's fine on Lyoko, how are things on earth" Aelita asked.

"Hello" Rachel said from the doorway.

Aelita saw her and made her window go away.

"What are you doing here" Jeremie asked.

"You left your pencil on the table and I followed you to return it" she told him.

She put it on the desk and walked out of the room. Jeremie gasped, how much had she seen, and if so how was she going to use the newfound info. He had to tell the others, however before he left Aelita's window popped back up.

"Jeremie, there's a monster here, I need some help" Aelita said.

"Hang on, help is on the way" Jeremie said.

He quickly called the others. Since class hadn't started yet they all headed to the factory right away.

"So what the problem Jeremie" Ulrich asked when they met up with him in the super calculator room.

"XANA's monsters are after Aelita, you have to go to Lyoko to protect her" Jeremie said.

The others gasped. They immediately headed down the elevator to the scanners.

Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich got into the scanners first.

"Scanner Odd, scanner Ulrich, scanner Yumi" Jeremie said.

"Transfer Odd, transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich" he continued.

"Virtualization" he said as he pressed the enter key.

Then Jimmy stepped into the scanner.

"Scanner Jimmy" he said.

"Transfer Jimmy" Jeremie continued.

"Virtualization" Jeremie said as he pressed the enter key.

Odd, Ulrich and Yumi appeared in Lyoko in the mountain region and Jimmy appeared shortly afterward. The first three landed on their feet. Jimmy did too but lost his balance and fell down. Yumi helped him up.

"So that's what Xana did, you actually look pretty cute" Yumi said chuckling.

"Yeah, but now it's time to kick some monster butt" Jimmy said.

Aelita was surrounded by two mega tanks.

"Al right then, super sprint" Ulrich exclaimed.

But nothing happened.

"What's going on" Ulrich asked Jeremie.

"I'll find out what's wrong, just protect Aelita" Jeremie said.

She managed to get past one of them and towards her friends.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave" Jimmy said as he ran towards the tank.

It opened and began charging. Jimmy tried to jump over the blast but was still hit and was flung near the edge.

"You lost half your life points, one more of those and its game over for you" Jeremie said.

He worked a little more and uncovered the problem.

"Xana deactivated your special abilities" Jeremie informed them.
"That's not good" Ulrich sighed.

"This time it's for sure going to work" Jimmy said.

He charged at the tank again.

"What are you thinking" Jeremie exclaimed.

This time however he used his staff to get way up above the mega tank. He came down on the Xana symbol and skewered the tank before it closed.

"What did I say, piece of cake" Jimmy said boasting a bit.

When his back was turned the other tank got him and he was devirtualized. He came back out of the scanner and up to the computer room.

"What did I tell you about celebrating early like that" Jeremie said.

"Don't worry, I got one of them, and the others are at full health" Jimmy said.

Ulrich started to run towards the other mega tank. It fired but he got out of the way. The tank quickly moved a little and fired again. This time it hit its target. Ulrich lost fifty of his life points.

"Be careful" Jeremie said nervously.

Next Odd charged the tank. He fired two laser arrows but the tank closed before they hit.

"Oh no, you've got more company, a crabs approaching from behind you" Jeremie informed them.

"I'm on it" Yumi said as she pulled out her fan.

She blocked its laser and threw her fan at the crab. It missed and returned to her. Ulrich and Odd both ran at the tank. Odd came from the left and Ulrich came from the right. It turned and blasted Odd sending him skidding across the floor. Then it quickly turned towards Ulrich as well and blasted him just before he struck the Xana symbol and was devirtualized.

"You're losing way too many life points" Jeremie exclaimed.

Aelita knelt down on the ground and used here ability to cause the ground beneath the tank to crumble using fifty life points in the process. The tank had however fired. The blast was heading right for her. Yumi dropped what she was doing and pushed Aelita out of the way taking the attack instead. Yumi got back up and wielded her fan. The crab began to use its rapid fire, however Yumi blocked them with her fan. The crab charged and fired but Yumi flipped backward out of the way. Then she threw the fan severing the front left leg and right back leg. The crab collapsed to the ground but still fired a charged shot that hit Aelita.

"Your supposed to protect Aelita, she's running out of life points" Jeremie exclaimed.

"I'm doing the best I can Jeremie" Yumi said as the fan came back to her.

Then she immediately destroyed the crab with her fan.

"The tower's this way, lets move quickly before more monsters come" Aelita said.

A little while latter they were at the tower, but there was another crab there.

"I'll distract it, you need to get to the tower" Yumi said.

While Yumi stared down the crab Aelita ran for the tower. Instead of attacking Yumi though it turned and fired on Aelita claiming twenty life points.

"Aelita" Jeremie exclaimed.

Yumi used this opportunity to destroy the crab. Aelita entered the tower. Then she walked to the center and floated up to the top. She put her hand on the screen.

"Return to the past now" Jeremie exclaimed as he pressed the enter key.

The light expanded outward again and they returned to the past.

They were back in the class room.

"Can anybody tell me what this compound is" she said pointing at the board.

Just then Jim and a thirteen year old girl with brown hair and green eyes came into the classroom.

"Ah, class this is a new student who is going to be in our class" Mrs. Hertz said.

"Xana sure is tricky, but I'll do better next time, promise" Jimmy said.

"Hello, my name is Rachel and I look forward to learning here" she said then took a seat.

With that done she continued the lesson.

"well I'm just glad Aelita's safe now, and besides this time Rachel won't see me talking to Aelita, not again" Jeremie said.

"Well I just can't wait for lunch" Odd said.

"You and me both" Jimmy chuckled.
