Chapter 2:Realizations
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko, Ulrich, Odd,Yumi, Aelita, Jeremie, or any of the other characters seen in Code Lyoko. I do however own Shinrai Flare, and Krista Flaire.
"Right," Odd said quickly, and motioned for Shinrai and Krista to follow them. They ran to the door and out of the dormatory halls onto the campus grounds.
"Tell me what? WHat is this XANA thing, it sounds bad and evil," Shinrai asked quickly, keeping in step between Ulrich and Aelita.
"Oh it is bad and evil alright, XANA is a computer virus that threatens the world on a daily basis. Yumi, Jeremie, Odd, and I found an entrance to the abandoned factory, which is where we are going by the way, anywyas, Aelita had contacted Jeremie and called for help inside of Lyoko," While he explained, Ulrich pulled the manhole cover off and motioned for the two girls to go first. After they went, Shinrai entered, and then Odd, followed by Ulrich, who placed the manhole cover right back where it was.
"We only have three skateboards, and one scooter. One of the guys will have to run along beside," Ulrich said, pulling the skateboards from against the wall.
"I'll run, I used to be in track, besides, Krista skateboards better than I do," Shinrai said with a chuckle, getting ready to run as Krista jumped onto the skateboards.
The were on their way through the sewers, Aelita on the scooter; Ulrich, Odd, and Krista on the skateboards, and Shinrai running beside them.
"What is Lyoko?" Krista asked, her right foor pushing the skateboard forward, her blonde-siver hair flowing behind her. Shinrai nodded, obviously agreeing to the question that Krista had asked them.
"Lyoko is a virtual reality program that houses XANA. It also housed Aelita until Jeremie created a materialization program to materialize her. Unfortunatly, the program was flawed; Aelita was materialized, but we coulding shut Lyoko down because Xana placed a virus in Aelita. If we shut down Lyoko, Aelita dies. Jeremie has been working on an antivirus all year," Ulrich continued.
"I think I am explaining it wrong, but Lyoko is like a virtual-reality game, and XANA is the virus that messes it up; Am I right?" Shinrai asked slowly, making sure to breath as they got to the end of the sewer.
"For someone who has never seen or heard of it, you've explained it pretty well, except for two things. One, XANA can destroy the whole world, not just this virtual reality one. Two, Who the hell are you?" A young man with blonde hair and glasses asked, leaning against the ladder. He was the one who made the call, thought Shinrai.
"Relax Einstein, his name is Shinrai, and this is his sister Krista, they are good. Even if he wasn't, the look in his eyes say that they wouldn't tell anyone even if they were evil, which I don't think they are," Odd said quickly, before turning around and grabbing Krista before she rode the skatboard into the steer bars by the ladder, "whoa, I guess stopping is an issue huh?"
Krista looked down, a deep red blush on her face as she said,"T..Thank you," The blush got even redder, which in Odd's mind, made her even more beautiful. Odd looked to her for a second and then looked away, very embarressed.
"No problem..." Odd murmered before climbing the ladder, his face as red as Krista's.
"What's wrong with him?" Jeremie asked as Krista followed Odd through the manole at the top of the ladder. When she reached the top, Odd turned away, as if to hide his beet red face. 'What's going on... I have never had this problem with girls before... But every time I look to her, my stomach knots up and I can't speak to her at all...' Odd began to think...
"I think that Odd and Krista have made an impression on each other," Shinrai said with an audable chuckle. He leaned against the ladder now and laughed as he looked around the sewers,"kind of dreary, huh?
"Really?" Aelita asked, cchuckling with Shinrai. She stood by Jeremie, smiling some as she looked to the thre of them before Ulrich climbed up.
"After Ulrich, you go next Shinrai. I have to talk to Jeremie for a second," Aelita asked him. Shinrai nodded and headed up the ladder and through the manhole. Jeremie looked to her and opened his mouth.
"Aelita, I have to ask you something," Jeremie started to speak, but Aelita's finger on his lips stopped him.
"Me first, I have been thinking about when XANA changed into everybordy, and had kidded other girls and boys, I rmember after we defeated XANA, and I kissed you...I," She began to speak softly
"Yes and I," He tried again, but her finger silenced him once again. She opened her mouth to speak, but she stepped forward, her lips mere inches away from his.
"I love you Jeremie, I love you with all my heart," She said it almost in a whisper, with that said, her lips touched his as she wrapped her arms softly around him. Jeremie held her close as he continued the deep, passonate, kiss.
The kiss was only broken when oxygen had become a nessecity. Jeremie leaned back, his face was a deep red, as was Aelita's, which had clashed with her hair.
"I...I love you too Aelita...More than this life, and Lyoko," Jeremie replied, stuttering through the whole sentense, the kiss obviously affecting him.
"Aw... So cute..." Odd's voice rang out through the sewers as four faces looked into the Sewer. All the boy's faces had smirks on them, while Krista's eyes were filled with tears, the touching scene affecting her how all touching scenes affected females.
" Shut up Odd, I respect what Jeremie did," Ulrich said, his face still with a smirk on it.
"Yeah, only because you haven't asked Yumi out yet," Odd said, rolling backwards, out of the range of the punch by Ulrich.
"Uh guys? Didn't Jeremie say something about an activated towe?" Shinrai asked puzzlingly. Krista stood slowly and walked over to Odd, holding her hand out to help him up. He took her hand and got up, standing infront of her. When their eyes had met, a wordless conversation was seeming to happening.
"What are they doing?" Jeremie asked, climbing out of the sewer right after Aelita climbed out. He saw Odd and Krista stand there, not speaking, "Why are they not talking?"
"They are, just not with words," Shinrai, Ulrich, and Aelita had said in complete unison. The three, pluss Jeremie began to laugh at the tender sight.
"Will you...Will you go out with me?" Odd said softly, he looked into her eyes, his hands softly resting on her shoulders.
"Of course I would..." She replied, almost leaping into him as she hugged him tightly. The four walked next to the two.
"I'm sorry to break it up to you, but we need to deactivate that tower, we don't know who XANA has poss..."Jeremie began, bbut as he talked, he was cut off by a yell...
"OH GOD, NO!" Odd yelled out...
(I think this should be enough, Romance with a Cliffy for you all to think of. Will give a preview of Chapter 3 if enough reviews)
