Travelers Chapter 10: Bonus!, a code lyoko fanfic

Author's Note: This is a bonus chappy containing humorous and other misc. things to make up for the angsty-ish-esk-ly feel of the most of the story. I apologize for taking so long to put this up… I hope your eyeballs won't bleed out of your skull from my very bad sense of humor. At least, if it doesn't make you laugh, you can make fun of me. :) (Hahah the author's trying to make funnies!) Please don't hate me!

It's kinda sad when a chapter that doesn't advance the plot in a story at all, is the longest chapter out of all of them.

Ooh… If you don't want to put up with my crummy sense of humor, you can just scroll all the way to the bottom and read a small look into the sequel.

Disclaimer: After what happened in THIS story? I'm pretty sure the world is SO MUCH better off without me owning Code Lyoko. Oh, yes… and I also don't own the song Dragostea Din Tei. I wish I did though… -sobs- I WISH I DID! I'll be quiet now. -.-

Bonus Chapter!

Chapter One – Jeremie and Aelita playing cards

"Hah!" Aelita exclaimed as she slapped down a royal flush in front of the flustered boy. "I win again! Pay up."

"B-But… you told me you never played this before!" the boy exclaimed, looking down at his pathetic hand of cards.

"It's called a fib, hon," the girl grinned, holding out her hand.

Jeremie grumbled as he dug in his pocket for money.

Chapter One – The Lyoko Crew meets in the woods

Yumi tapped her foot impatiently, an angry look on her face. Her friends had called a half-hour ago, and here she was, still waiting for them. She turned quickly, when she heard the telltale sounds of her friends' approach.

"It's about time!" she huffed. Her eyes widened, though, when she saw how beat-up they were. They all had scratches and bruises. Jeremie's glasses were even broken. "What happened?"

"Jim's getting smart," Ulrich responded, even his voice sounding sore.

"He has dogs patrolling the school now," Odd complained, collapsing on the ground.

Chapter One – Virtualizing to Lyoko

"Odd, Ulrich, your turn," Jeremie said into his microphone as he started up the program.

"Hang on just a sec, Einstein," he heard Odd say.

Jeremie tapped his finger impatiently against the side of the keyboard, waiting. After a few moments, he had enough of waiting. "Are you ready now?" He didn't hear a response. Becoming worried, he took off his headphone and entered the elevator. The moment it took for the elevator to lower to the next floor was enough time to make his worry double, along with his impatience. When the elevator opened, he practically flew into the room.

"Odd! Ulrich!" he exclaimed, before stopping suddenly, his eyes very wide.

"Uh… I can explain…" Odd said sheepishly.

He was leaning against Ulrich, who was, in turn, leaning against a scanner. Neither of them had shirts on, and Odd's pants were partially unzipped. Their lips had been locked when he had entered the room.

Inside Lyoko, Yumi fumed, somehow knowing exactly what was going on. "I'LL KILL YOU ODD!"

(A/N: Eheh… oh boy, I bet I lost quite a few readers after this one.)

Chapter One – Heading toward the tower

"I'll send you your vehicles."

A second later, the overwing, overbike, and overboard virtualized before them. They all jumped on their respective vehicles, Aelita sharing with Yumi's, and they all took off toward the tower.

It was quite a boring ride, considering no monsters attacked. They had quite a ways to go, and they were all getting bored. Odd slowly started bouncing his head as he caught a song in his head.

"… sunt eu, Picasso ti-am dat beep- nehnehnehneh," he started singing partway into the song. "Si sunt voinic… Dar sa stii, nut-ti cer nimic…"

Ulrich began to catch on and sing with him, the two of them bellowing the chorus out loud.

"Vrei sa pleci dar nu-mã, nu-mã, nu-mã iei! Nu- mã, nu-ã iei! Nu-mã, nu-mã, nu-mã iei! Chipul Tãu si dragostea din tei! Mi-amintesc do ochii tãi! Vrei sa pleci dar nu-mã, nu-mã, nu-mã iei! Nu- mã, nu-ã iei! Nu-mã, nu-mã, nu-mã iei! Chipul Tãu si dragostea din tei! Mi-amintesc do ochii tãi!"

Now Odd began to sing alone again.

"Te sun… sã-ti spun… ce simt… acum. Alo… iubirea mea sunt eu… fericierea. Alo… alo… sut iarasi eu… Picasso ti-am dat beep… si sunt voinic… Dar sã stii, nu-ti cer nimic."

Now he, Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita began to join it for the chorus, practically shouting it.

Once more, Odd sang alone.

"Mai ah hee… Mai ah hoo… Mai ah ha… Mai ah haha… Mai ah hee… Mai ah hoo… Mai ah ha… Mai ah haha…"

Now Ulrich joined him again.

"Mai ah hee! Mai ah hoo! Mai ah ha! Mai ah haha! Mai ah hee! Mai ah hoo! Mai ah ha! Mai ah haha!"

The four on Lyoko started shouting the chorus once more, having the time of their lives. At the computer, Jeremie tried joining in, but he didn't know the words.

"Vray sa-sa… peshda…. Noma noma noma yay… Hey slow down, okay? Noma noma noma- K-Keepoo tja slagoda… what? V-Vray sa peshda noma noma yay. N-Noma- Oh, come on, guys! Noma noma noma yay. Keep- ahg… slagosta t-tin yay. Naru-ru- de oki tay!" There was a moment of laughter as they finished the song. "… You guys suck."

(A/N: Oh god, I love that song. I listened to it while writing this, over and over and over and over and over and over and over -is hit with a brick- Okay… I wrote Jeremie's part, remembering how I thought the pronunciation was the first few times I heard the song.)

Chapter One – Jeremie in his room before he finds the document

Jeremie scrolled through various documents that had been written by Franz Hopper, his tired eyes scanning through the names, not truly reading but waiting for something to catch his attention. His eyelids dropped and his head tilted in his hand before he jolted it back up, continuing to scroll through the thousands of icons. A yawn forced his way through his throat and he shut his eyes as they watered slightly. It felt so good to have his eyes closed that he never wanted to open them again.

THUNK!

His head hit the keyboard as he fell instantly asleep, deleting the document that he would've found if he looked at the screen.

Chapter One – Just before the end of the chapter

"I'll tell you later," Jeremie said and continued on his way to class. As soon as he got away from the group, he let out a wide yawn before they could catch up to him.

Not only did I find a way to find a way, but I can find out whhhaaaat happennnnned thaaaaat niii….

THUD!

Jeremie fell on the floor, asleep.

Chapter Two – Yumi enters the factory

Yumi stepped into the old, abandoned factory, taking a running leap to the ropes and swinging down to the main floor.

SNAP!

The rope broke and she fell.

Chapter Two – Yumi enters the factory – Take two

Yumi stepped into the old, abandoned factory, taking a running leap to the ropes. Her eyes widened when the rope she was aiming for suddenly fell to the floor below, leaving her nothing to grab onto. She fell, screaming.

Chapter Two – Yumi enters the factory – Take three

Ulrich sniggered quietly as he waited on top of the beam that held the ropes, holding a large pair of scissors in his hand. He waited a few moments, but frowned when he didn't see Yumi enter the factory. He stood up and scratched his head in confusion. He turned around and his eyes widened when he saw Yumi standing right there, her eyes practically glowing in anger.

She pushed him off and Ulrich fell screaming while Yumi laughed maniacally.

Chapter Two – Jeremie tells the others about the other dimension.

Yumi glanced at Ulrich, who looked back at her, a skeptical expression on his face. Odd and Aelita had the same expressions also. Yumi sighed and placed her hand on Jeremie's shoulder, stopping his speech about the other dimension.

"Jeremie," she said softly, as if she didn't want to startle him. "I think we need to go back to the soft place. Y'know, the one with the pillows and the nice people?"

Jeremie's eyes widened. "No!" he exclaimed. "They had needles!" Odd and Ulrich grabbed him by the arms, stopping him from struggling. "NO!" the boy shouted. "I DUN WANNA GO BACK THERE!"

"Let's go!" Odd and Ulrich proceeded to drag him out of the factory, taking him to the happy place.

Chapter Three – The beginning of the chapter

"Really?" Jeremie looked up at where he supposed her face was. "Why is it so dark, though?"

"To keep Him from seeing us," the voice from before said.

"XANA?" he asked, making sure he knew who 'He' was.

In the dim light, he could see the girl give him a confused look. "No," she said. "Here, I have a picture of Him." She dug in her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to him. He got a confused look on his face when he saw it was a picture of a cross-dressing male demon. He had a curled goatee with makeup on his face, a frilly red dress, and hooker boots that went up to his mid-thigh.

(A/N: You know who that is, right?)

Chapter Two – Jeremie in the operating room with Jeremie

His mismatched eyes looked directly into his. "It's simple. We had made a vow to protect our world from the evil that corrupts it. We will fight until the very end, for as long as we need to. We will win this fight. We will create a world without danger." He reached down and pulled the blanket away from the patient's face, revealing who it was. "No matter what the cost."

"Heehee! Hi Jermie!" Aelita slurred and giggled as she waved at the boy.

"Oh, shoot!" cyborg Jeremie quickly picked up a bottle full of liquid, looking at the label in irritation. "This isn't the stuff that would make her sleep!"

"Hahah! Wee!" Aelita giggled as she waved her hands in front of her face. "Purty colrrrzzz!"

Chapter Two – Jeremie in the operating room with Jeremie – Take two

"D'hey!" Aelita said suddenly, sitting up from the operating table. "Isn't that the same thing that was written in the very beginning?"

"…Go back to sleep, Aelita."

Chapter Four – The beginning of the chapter

The small group of children walked through the many twisting tunnels of the base, following this world's Sissi. The tunnels were so twisty, in fact, that Odd ended up falling over due to his motion sickness.

(A/N: Pathetic, I know.)

Chapter Four – The Lyoko Crew meets alternate Jim

"Jim?" Yumi said suddenly, surprising the other three. They looked over and saw their PE teacher, looking down at his arm and flexing it. It was mechanical. He was changed, also. He wasn't quite as large as he used to be, and had quiet a bit more muscle. In fact, he was very much thinner than his counterpart, and pretty good looking.

"Oooh! I want him to hug me with them muscular arms!" Yumi exclaimed, causing Ulrich to practically fall over in shock.

"Jim!" Aelita ran over to him. "Hug me!" she leapt into his arms, startling the man.

"My turn!" Yumi ran over to the poor, confused man too.

"Can you believe this?" Ulrich fumed to Odd. "I mean- he's our gym teacher!"

"Methinks Ulrich is jealous," Odd grinned.

"Methinks you better shut up!" Ulrich snapped at him.

"Hug me too, Jim!" Odd pranced over to the man before Ulrich could do anything to him.

(A/N: I'm not saying Odd is gay, that just sounded like something he'd say. … huh… that rhymed. I'm a poet and didn't ev- -is shot… repeatedly-)

Chapter Four – Jeremie leaves the operating room

Jeremie quickly ran out the door, following her. His alternate watched the door as it shut He stood there silently for a moment, making sure they were actually gone. He tapped the blanket with his flesh hand. "They're gone."

Aelita stood up quickly, throwing the blanket off of her and pulling off the bloody guise, revealing a tight-fitting, black dress. Jeremie ripped off his lab coat, revealing a black tuxedo. He put on a top hat and placed a rose in his mouth. Music began to play and the two of them started dancing like maniacs.

Chapter Four – Sissi gives Jeremie the gun

The girl suddenly spun to him just as he was about to catch up. "Here," she tossed him something. It hit him hard on the head, knocking him out cold.

Chapter Five – During the fight in the beginning

Nearby her, Tania and Emmanuel operated a large cannon-like weapon. Emmanuel reloaded the small missiles into the large gun and Tania aimed, shooting down as many of the larger enemies as she could.

BOOM!

Tamiya was suddenly knocked off her feet when a nearby missile hit. "You idiots!" she screamed at the two of them after she recovered. "This is the third time! Quit aiming at me!"

The two older children snickered.

Chapter Five – Just as the giant is about to step out of the woods

Sissi suddenly stopped, very alert. There was a low rumbling and it was getting closer. "Hide!" she hissed at the others. The group dived to the sides, hiding behind trees and under rotting, hollow logs. Sissi, though, ended up tripping over her mechanical leg and landed on her face.

"Oh! Are you okay?" the giant mechanical beast ran up to her, speaking in a high-pitched, nasally voice with a funny accent. "You're not hurt, are you? Want me to kiss your booboo and make it all better?"

Sissi grumbled something incoherent due to the dirt in her face.

Chapter Five – Just as they all started crossing under the bridge

"Don't fall in the water," Sissi told them. "They'll hear-"

SPLASH!

"… Jeremie! You klutz!"

Chapter Five – Jeremie finally makes it across the bridge

Aelita knelt down to Jeremie, worry in her eyes. "Are you okay?" she whispered.

He quickly stood up and flexed his arms, his shirt and glasses suddenly gone, revealing large muscles as his hair flowed in the nonexistent wind. "Never better, my dear," he said in a deep voice with a German accent.

Aelita's eyes went wide and suddenly, red hearts appeared in them. "Hug me with those arms!"

Chapter Six – Jeremie sees the Krabes

The boy nodded nervously and crawled forward, glancing around like Odd did. His eyes widened when he realized how close the mechanical beasts were. These were ones he was familiar with, Krabes, but it still didn't matter much. It was horrible… they were all… break-dancing!

"Oh god!" Jeremie shrieked, covering his eyes. "They're moves are horrible and so off-beat!"

"Who you callin' off-beat?" one of the Krabes glared at him. "We iz da bomdiggity, while yous iz… suck!" It snickered at its own joke.

"Oh, bring it on!" Jeremie shouted.

"It's already been broughten!" the Krabe exclaimed.

Behind it, one of its buddies somehow managed to snap its fingers three times, despite its obvious lack of fingers.

Chapter Six – Aelita runs for the door

Aelita watched from just behind him with baited breath as he hurried away. She kept glancing over at the monsters and back at him. She sighed in relief when he made it to the door, slipping quietly behind it without incident. Now it was her turn. She crawled out, making sure to check the monsters, and started over to the door. Just as she reached it, ready to practically collapse in relief, her foot caught on a piece of junk, causing her to fall flat on her face. The Krabes burst out laughing, along with everyone else.

Chapter Six – Sissi makes it past the door

Sissi nodded at them as she, being the last one this time, stepped into the room. She didn't see Odd's foot, though, and ended up crashing to the ground. The others burst out laughing while Sissi growled.

"This is getting old."

Chapter Six – Jeremie changes our Odd's costume

Jeremie watched as Aelita and Odd were virtualized. He had to make a copy of Odd's file and change it a little, since the computer refused to activate two of the exact same files at the same time. All he really did was change Odd's costume's color, but that small change allowed the computer to run both programs. At least they'd be able to tell each other apart on Lyoko.

"Hey- what the-?" he heard the voice of one of the Odds. It was most likely our Odd . "Jeremie, what did you do?"

On Lyoko, they could hear Jeremie snickering as they stared at Odd. His costume had more shades of pink than they thought possible, along with little frilly flowers where Kiwi's picture was supposed to be.

"Jeremie!"

Chapter Six – After Jeremie explains Odd's costume change

"Where to the tower, Einstein?"

"Who?" Jeremie scratched his head in confusion.

(A/N: Yet another pathetic one. Sorry.)

Chapter Six – At the end of the chapter

Yumi and Aelita, without any fuss, hopped aboard the Overwing.

"Ow! Get of my foot!" Yumi exclaimed.

"Well if your feet weren't so big, I wouldn't have stepped on it!" Aelita retorted.

"Why you little-" Yumi tackled the elf girl to the ground and the two of them proceeded to kick the crap out of each other.

The three boys stared at them, their eyes wide. Ulrich was blushing.

"Didn't the author say 'without a fuss'?" our Odd commented.

Chapter Seven – The very beginning

B,I,N,G,O.

B,I,N,G-

"Jeremie!" Sissi exclaimed.

"Oh! Sorry!"

S,C,I,P,I,O.

Chapter Seven – Just as the transport drops the Lyoko Warriors off at Carthage

The regular purple Odd held his stomach as they arrived at the entrance to Carthage, clearly nauseated from the ride. The blue Odd on the other hand, having been to this place more recently (though it was in his own dimension) didn't feel the effects quite so much.

"Hah!" our Odd laughed at their Odd, glad to have a small bit of revenge against him. "I'm not sick! Haha- Ew!"

He immediately stopped his laughter when purple Odd vomited zeros and ones all over the floor.

"Okay, that's just plain weird," Aelita muttered.

Chapter Seven – Sissi as she's thinking

There was one person she would, and already did, miss terribly, though. His death was painful for both of him and her. She looked up at the roof of the room, seeing the hundreds of wires intertwined within each other. Despite his ridiculous hairdo and his pimple-covered face…

"R-Ridiculous hairdo?"

"Shut up, Herve!" Sissi shouted to him. "You're not in this sce-"

SCHLACK!

"Ow! Jeremie!"

"Uh… sorry."

Chapter Seven – Sissi as she's thinking – Take two

There was one person she would, and already did, miss terribly, though. His death was painful for both him and her. She looked up at the roof of the room, seeing the hundreds of wires intertwined within each other. Despite his ridiculous hairdo and his pimple-covered face…

WHUMP!

Sissi was thrown to the floor, a heavy object landing on top of her. She opened her eyes and saw Herve's grinning, pimply face staring at her. "I knew you liked me!"

"Get off! You already did that in an episode!"

"… But I wanted to do it again…" the boy whined.

Chapter Seven – Just after cyborg Jeremie stabs Sissi

She died, her eyes still open and her body going limp except for a few twitches here and there, which also faded quickly. She fell to the floor with a heavy thud.

"Ow! You jerk!" Sissi sat up, rubbing her head. "You're supposed to stop me from falling!"

Cyborg Jeremie crossed his mismatched arms. "Well, maybe if you weren't so heavy-"

"YOU DARE?" Sissi shrieked before launching herself at the boy.

"Yay! Go Sissi!" Herve exclaimed from next to Jeremie at the computer, who gave him a funny look.

"You're not even supposed to be here. You're getting old, Herve."

He pouted. "But the author likes me, so I can come as often as I want!"

"So she doesn't! And no you can't"

"Yeah I can!"

"Nu-uh!"

"Ya-huh!"

"Nu-"

Herve didn't let him finish, instead, tackling him to the ground and joining the other two in attempting on each other's lives.

Chapter Seven – The Lyoko Warriors ask for Jer's assistance through the maze

"Do you know where the tower is, Einstein?" blue Odd asked as they ran though the white maze.

No response.

"Jeremie?"

Still no response.

"Hey, guys," Yumi said, glancing around. "Where's Aelita?"

Back on Earth, Jeremie, Aelita, Sissi, cyborg Jeremie, and even Kiwi, were giggling happily.

"You're right, Aelita, this stuff is awesome!" Jeremie said, slurring slightly and giggling after the comment.

"'M glad I saved it," cyborg Jeremie said, holding up the bottle that had made Aelita act silly a few chapters back.

Chapter Seven – A little while after cyborg Jeremie reveals himself

"Why?" he was caught off-guard by the question his look-alike suddenly asked. He brought the blade on his mechanical arm up slowly until it was on his cheek. He pressed it against him, impaling the boy's face.

"Woops! Sorry, there. I guess it's too sharp."

Jeremie ignored his words, merely screaming his hatred towards the author.

Chapter Seven – Just after the one before this one cuz I'm too lazy to name it

"Sweet, Jeremie, you should know why," he said, bringing his face uncomfortably close. "After all, we are one and the same."

…

"Are you… hitting on me?" Jeremie asked.

"… Maybe."

Chapter Seven – Jeremie holds the gun at cyborg Jeremie

He turned back to the boy in the chair and raised an eyebrow at what he saw. Jeremie had a gun in his hands, pointing straight at him. He wasn't worried, though. He could see the fear in his eyes, the way his hands shook as he held the weapon.

"Dear, Jeremie, you don't really think you'll be able to pull that tri-"

BAMF!

THUD!

Cyborg Jeremie fell to the floor.

"That's for stabbing my face."

Chapter Seven – Jeremie is removed from the computer

"I believe you've been on for long enough, young man," he said casually, grabbing the boy's shirt with his mechanical hand. "My turn." With little effort, he lifted the boy and tossed him away from the chair, causing him to fly through the wall and land in another room, knocked out from the blow. "That's for shooting me," he snickered.

Zeakari runs in and grabs the unconscious Jeremie, dragging him out of the room. "Would you two knock it off?" she snarled. "I'm trying to make a story!"

Chapter Seven – Cyborg Jeremie enters a command to the supercomputer

XANAfied-Jeremie grinned as he finished a long string of commands. He entered it, causing the five cards of the children on Lyoko to falter slightly before they all turned to neon colors, along with the whole screen

On Lyoko, the five of them began to freak out, unable to tell which was what due to the shiny, random colors that suddenly appeared everywhere.

(A/N: I don't really get it either.)

Chapter Eight – Right in the beginning

"Permanent deletion, huh?" our blue Odd mused, grinning and readying his wrist. "Just makes the game more interesting."

Purple Odd shook his head, also readying his wrist. "Reckless moron."

"Hey!" our Odd snapped, turning to him. "Who you callin' reckless moron?"

Chapter Eight – Kiwi attacks cyborg Jeremie

"GRRRRWAAAWWWR!" Jeremie was dropped to the ground as a familiar little gray dog attacked his counterpart, snarling furiously.

"STUPID DOG!" his distorted voice screamed in anger as he tried to get the dog off of him. "I tranquilize rather than kill you and this is the thanks?"

He tore the dog off of him and threw him toward the wall. Kiwi grunted as he flipped around so his feet hit the wall, jumping off of it and flying toward cyborg Jeremie. The boy had whirled on Jeremie, his eyes glowing with energy and anger. He was about to laugh, when the dog slammed onto the back of his head, knocking him over. Kiwi continued attacking the boy.

"Kiwi! Get off him!" Jeremie ran over to get the dog off, but it snarled and leapt on him too, biting and scratching.

Chapter Eight – Just after the one before this (yup, I'm too lazy again)

Jeremie had retrieved the gun, and was pointing it at him once more.

"For a genius, you really are an idiot!" the cyborg snickered. "Are you wi-" He stopped when Jeremie's lower lip trembled and he whimpered pathetically at the insult. He dropped to his knees and began to sob loudly. "Uh… It's okay... I didn't mean it," he tried to reassure the boy, approaching him and patting him on the back for comfort.

"WHAAAAAAAAAA!" Jeremie wailed. "YOU'RE MEAN!"

Chapter Eight – Ulrich gets devirtualized

The geisha heard Ulrich grunt as she was shot in the leg. Her eyes widened when she looked over at him and saw him fading away as pixels of his body broke away.

"I'd be careful if I were you. There is no returning to Earth this time my friends."

"Homigod!" Yumi shouted, grabbing her head with her hands. "The voices are back!"

Chapter Nine – Aelita enters the tower

Aelita stumbled as she entered the tower. She was going so fast, that she fell over the edge of the platform, screaming as she fell into the darkness. Just outside the tower, purple Odd sniggered, having been the one to push her inside.

Chapter Nine – Aelita enters the tower – take two

Aelita stumbled and fell as she entered the tower. She got up on her hands and knees, sighing as the feeling of security swept over her from being in the tower. She stood up and rushed to the center of the room. She closed her eyes and threw her head back, immediately throwing off her balance and causing her to fall on her back. She frowned when she heard a snort, followed by poorly stifled giggles.

"Shut up, Jeremie!"

Chapter Nine – Before they go through the portal for the second time

Jeremie and Aelita were the last two again. Before she stepped inside, the girl turned to Jeremie, looking him in the eyes. It was only for a second that their eyes met, but in that second they exchanged the equivalent of a whole conversation in silence. Her eyes questioned, and his eyes assured. After that, she smiled warmly and before he knew what was happening, she had her lips planted firmly against his. His whole body became rigid and his brain shut down. When she pulled away from him, she was surprised when he fell over on the floor, his face red and his eyes wide as he lay there unmoving.

"Uh… Jeremie?"

Chapter Nine – Jeremie looks down from above down at Jeremie… -nods-

Jeremie pumped both his fists in the air and began to cheer with his friends, feeling a weight seem to lift off his shoulders, leaving him feeling absolutely wonderful.

Above him, looking down from above the rungs, a pair of eyes watched. Something creaked and the eyes widened before there was a loud CRACK! and the owner of the eyes fell screaming.

"OMIGOD!" Jeremie shouted as he leapt out of his seat in shock, no longer celebrating with his friends and staring down at what fell from above. "Y-Y-You're… ME?"

Jeremie quickly recovered from his fall since part of the floor that had come crashing down with him helped break his fall. He waved his hands in front of his counterpart, his eyes going wide.

"I am not you," he said in a mysterious voice. "I am merely a figment of your sleep-deprived, overactive imagination… woooOOOooOOooOoooo…."

He slowly backed up to the ladder and climbed up, using one hand to climb and the other to keep wiggling his fingers at his traumatized counterpart. He disappeared behind the ceiling of the room and the boy continued to stare for a moment.

"Jeremie?" one of the Lyoko warriors asked from the computer. "What's going on?"

The boy placed the headphones on, not taking his eyes off the place where he saw his own foot disappear. "Odd… I think I'm gonna take your advice today and sleep in class."

Within Lyoko, Odd began to weep in joy and finally recruiting another follower of his sleeping in class ways.

OoOoO

And finally… here is a small peek into the next story. I'm not sure if I'll ever actually finish writing the entire sequel—then again, I didn't think I'd even finish THIS story. Anyway, enjoy this small segment. Just so you know, there may be small changes from this to the actual story, but mostly grammar or a change in sentence to make it flow better or something. I dunno.

Enjoy!

"We should check the supercomputer. You know, to see if XANA activated any towers." Yumi said, she and Aelita steadying Odd, who had it worse than Jeremie.

With that, the six of them, including Kiwi, made their way toward the factory. By the time they reached the ropes, they had all recovered from the dimensional travel. They leapt down, using the ropes to get to the main floor, and entered the elevator.

"If XANA is attacking, it's probably not very big," Odd commented. "It seemed pretty normal outside."

"That's not exactly a reliable way of looking at it," Jeremie said. "What if XANA did something subtle, but big? Like poison all the water?"

"That'd be no good."

"Let's just hope he didn't activate a tower at all," Ulrich said as the elevator doors began to open.

They stepped inside and stopped, their eyes wide. At the monitors, two girls stared back at them with equally surprised expressions.

-snickers quietly for a moment before bursting into full, maniacal laughter-

I will most likely be updating the next story a lot less quickly than I did this one. That is, if I do at all.
