The theater grew dark as Shinrai wrapped an arm around Sissi's soft shoulders. Aelita and Jeremie sat beside them as Odd and Krista sat a row above them. and Ulrich and Yumi sitting beside Odd and Krista. Sissi sighed contently as 3 similar sighs came from the girls. The previews were beginning to start, and even before the first minute of the preview, a soft and loving, but muffled, moan escaped from Yumi's lips. The good thing was that the 8 were the only ones in the theater. The bad thing was, that they were the only 8 in the theater, so Yumi's muffled moans were easily heard as Ulrich kissed her.

Halfway in the movie, a click was heard behind Yumi and a strange noise of metal being pulled out was heard. Shinrai didn't even turn around, but he began to whisper out, loud enough for the 7 to hear, but not the assailant of who pulled out the metal. His face was somber as he did it. He knew what was happening, XANA was getting smarter...

"When you see me stand up, duck down and head for the door. Don't ask me a question on it," Ulrich nodded, still holding onto Yumi. He had heard that sound before, it wasn't like the sound of a sword, it seemed as it was hollow.

"If it is what I think it is, don't do anything stupid, you hear me?" Ulrich hissed out. He then began to mouth what was happening to the rest. Sissi had no idea what was going on, but everybody else had a grim look on their face, so Sissi began thinking something was wrong. She was about to speak when Shinrai put his hand on her's.

"Something is going wrong... Something bad...Just duck down and follow Ulrich without question," Was all that Shinrai said before standing up, calling out to a large figure in the back of the theatre, "Well, you found us, lets see how fast you are.." As he stood, Everybody else ducked down and began heading out of the room silently.

The figure in the back of the theatre raised his arm. That was what Shinrai had waited for. In an instant, he ducked down, a knife flying past him and making a thunk into the canvas that was the screen. Without thinking, Shinrai put his hand on the head of the seats and launched himself up onto the top quickly. 'Me and Ulrich have perfect balance, in hindsight, that is a good thing.' The throught passed through his head as he leaped forward, driving his shoulder into the tall figure quickly, knocking them both over.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!" Ulrich's voice rang out as the sound of a door closing behind him. Shinrai nodded befre kicking the figure, who on closer inspection, turned out to be Jim. Shinrai sighed before looking at the 6 foot drop to the ground where the door was. It is either that or the stairs, and I don't think Jim would like the stairs. He ran forward to the halfwall/railing and vaulted himself over it. As he hit the ground, he rolled forward, pushing the door open with his body as he winced some. DAMN IT! WHY IS IT MY FOOT ALL THE TIME! He began to growl as he saw the figures of Aelita and Jeremie running, most likely to the factory.

(A/N: I model Shinrai's fighting style from my own, most of the stuff done by Shinrai, it is possible to do, any questions should be taken up with Kairu Soseiki, and yes, you can fall 6 feet and live, ask Kairu about that.)

Screams erupted throughout the main room as Shinrai moved to the center of the circular room, where the other men and women were all pushed off to one side. He tested the weight on his left foot and winced again, he could put most of his weight on it, but not enough to do any of his extreme techniques. He stood there calmly as the XANAJim burst through the door. When Jim reached Shinrai, lightning began to sizzle through the fingers of Jim. Before Jim had a chance to use it, Shinrai was on him.

Thank god Jim is so tall. Shinrai rolled forward, between Jim's legs, he knew a kick to the crotch would not do anything, so he decided to instead so something else. As he rolled, he shot his arms arout, hitting the XANAJim behind the knees, causing him to buckle and fall to the ground. A vibration at his side meant his cellphone was ringing. The name said Jeremie so SHinrai opened the cellphone.

"Um kinda busy here, this Uber Jim is kinda hurting me pretty bad," He said before turning around, opening the door quickly as XANAJim slowly to it's feet. Shinrai groaned some as he began to run out the door, on the way back to the school and then to the factory.

(A/N: If anyone is thinking this, No I am not making SHinrai seem like a hero, keep reading and find out.)

As he reached the factory, Ulrich and Odd stood on the bridge.

"Get down there, Yumi is waiting for you before Jeremie Virtualizes anyone," Odd said, a grin on his face, "We've taken SuperJim out before, twice even."

"Good, All I did was delay him, and that hurt like hell, " He pointed to his leg, which had many minor scratches, but a gash on his leg was the thing he pointing mostly at. "He hurts like hell, good luck you two,"

"Good luck to you as well," Ulrich said as he saw Shinrai grab the rope and swing himself to the elevator.

"Where is Shinrai?" Jeremie yelled out from frustration.

"Right here, damn it, don't rush an injured person," SHinrai said as he looked to Sissi, Krista, Yumi, Jeremie, and Aelita.

"Injured!" Sissi almost screamed out before moving to him.

"I am fine, just a leg gash, stay here with Jeremie and Krista, " He looked over to Aelita and Yumi," Your Carrage awaits M'ladies," He said with a laugh before swaying against the wall.

"You sure your ok?" Aelita asked as they went to the scanner room.

"yeah, It will all be ok in Lyoko," He replied to them as they each stepped into a scanner...

"Odd, watch out, XANA isn't getting creative, he is just trying to wear us down. This is the second attack in a day," Ulrich told him as they jumped out of the way of Jim. Ulrich spun around, pulling a roundhouse kick to knock Jim over as Odd dived into him and tackled him into the floor. They had a system down, and it was easy to keep XANAJim down.XANA did not even have time to stand up from all the tackling.

"Aelita... Why is XANA attacking so easily...?" Shinrai asked as he took down the 2nd Crab in thier way. He pun around and blocked a laser blast as 2 large rolling sounds were heard.

"What the HEL..." Was all that Shinrai could call out before two megatanks hit him with it's large shots.

"Aelita, the tower is just a bit farther, go there! " Yumi yelled as she began to run to the tower, the rolling megatanks following after the two girls. The tower was in sight, but the Scipizoa was also in sight as well.

"Yumi..." Aelita said softly before Yumi tossed her fans. They had all agreed to take out the Scipizoa before it grabbed Aelita, and for the last few attacks, they had been doing just that. The two fans hit their mark perfectly, cutting the tentacles and causing the Scipizoa to move away before it could grab Aelita.

"There you go princess," Yumi said before turning around to face the megatanks. She began to run quickly, opposite the way of Aelita, to take the megatanks away. Aelita entered the tower quickly and went to the second level.

AELITA...CODE...LYOKO

"There we go Jeremie, again, " she said with a soft giggle

"This seems familar.. Like deja vu.." Sissi said as they sat in the movie theater, the preiews beginning...again... Everyone began to laugh some until and usher came in, telling them all to be quiet. Sissi looked at them, puzzled from the laughing, " What's so funny?"

"Nothing Sissi, just something about Odd's video... Something...Bad..." Shinrai said as he kissed Sissi's cheek softly, always waiting to listen for the sound of metal being pulled out. His hands twitched some as he reached his left arm to touch the part of his leg that had been cut on the way to the factory. Sissi looked at him softly before Ulrich put a hand on his shoulder, whispering.

"That feeling will go away, it happens..." Ulrich said before gripping Shinrai's shoulder. Shinrai knew the grip, it was almost a way of saying thank you... Ulrich began to kiss Yumi again as Sissi moved over from her seat and at on Shinrai's lap, both of them watching the movie. This time, Shinrai only payed attention to the movie half of the time.

(More fluff and action. I hope that can tide you over until either Monday or Tuesday morning, I start new classes in my Leadership/Video productions class, and I have a feeling it won't be fun. REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, review even if it is a bad review.)
