Weeheeeeee! I can't believe how many reviews I've got out there! And I've
gotten my own personal stalker! I must admit that I was surprised at the
amount of reviews I got, and am very grateful to all those who reviewed me!
I luv yas! Yatta! So, on with the story!
If any bored kids had looked out the window that sunny afternoon, they would have seen four children, running into the forest when they all clearly should have been in class. The student would have then pointed out the hooligans to the teacher, and there would have been no story to tell. But as it is, the science class was having a volcano experiment jamboree, and all kids were waiting avidly for the signal to start.
Down on the school grounds and well into the (forbidden) forest, said four children were running towards a manhole. "So, tell me again. -huff - what the hell are you guys talking about again?" Odd wheezed slightly, having run at least one mile, and not having exercised in quite a while. "Odd, we don't have time to explain, so just hurry up!" Odd threw an annoyed look at Ulrich, and continued running.
They climbed down the manhole, landing in the city drainage system/sewer. 'Ick!' Thought Odd, trotting behind the others as they ran through seemingly random tunnels towards whatever it was that they were looking for. He was still freaked out about the whole 'floating Jeremy' thing, 'I mean, cummon! No one can do that!' He thought as he stumbled on a loose stone.
At last, they reached a ladder that lead to the surface. Crawling out from under the manhole cover, Odd gasped as he looked upon the sight of a huge factory, seemingly abandoned. "Th-that's what we came for?!?" He looked around; sweat dropping as he saw the school in sight up the road. "Um, wh-"He didn't get to finish his sentence as he was yanked along by Yumi, Ulrich and Jeremy had gone ahead.
As the two walked into the factory, an elevator bobbed into view a few yards down. 'Uh oh, this has foreboding written all over it!' Odd thought, watching Yumi type in a three number code before they were sent plummeting downward. The doors opened, revealing Jeremy, sitting in a huge chair, talking to a screen. "Okay Ulrich, just look around for trouble and keep sharp!" He said, staring at the screen.
Odd walked over to stare at the screen along with Yumi, and was surprised to see Ulrich, in samurai clothing, in a tropical forest of some kind. "Yumi, what's going on!?" Odd yelped, looking at the screen in fascination. "He's in (I'm just going to call it Lyoko, even though, in the proto-type they call it XANA) Lyoko, an artificial, virtual world." Yumi explained, looking anxiously at the screen. "We don't know why it exists, but we do know that there's something wrong with it." She glanced at the screen, as Ulrich looked wearily at his surrounding environment.
Suddenly, a shadow, similar to that which had emanated from Jeremy's laptop, loomed over Ulrich. "Ulrich! Watch out!" Yumi cried, and Ulrich spun around, dodging the shadows attempt to engulf him. He began to run at inhuman speeds, leaving an energy trail behind him as he jumped from rock to rock. Odd studied the situation, growing slightly panicked as Ulrich narrowly dodged the growing swarm of shadows.
"So if it's so dangerous, why are you going there?!" He said, looking at Yumi for a reason as to why anyone would ever do something like this. "Because our world's in danger too." She said grimly, and as if to prove her point, a powerful tremor shook the building at the same time a shadow missed Ulrich and hit a giant root. "See?" Yumi said as Odd struggled to regain his balance.
"Ulrich, your saber's ready to go!" Called Jeremy, who didn't appear to be bothered by to the tremor, or his two friend's conversation. Ulrich drew from his hilt a sword that looked like it was made from zeros and ones. Crouching, he jumped at an oncoming shadow and, to Odd's surprise, cut it neatly into six pieces. 'I didn't know you could cut shadow.' He thought, watching as Ulrich continued his run to an area that abruptly changed to mountains.
Standing on the top of the tallest one, Ulrich looked down on a tower that was surrounded by the shadows. Just then, he dived downward, narrowly avoiding a swarm of shadows that now joined the rest floating around the tower. "Ulrich, it's too dangerous, come back now!" Jeremy shouted though his headset, looking at the screen anxiously along with the rest.
Yumi, leaning over his shoulder, frowned slightly, "It's now or never Jeremy, you know that!" She grabbed onto Odd's arm, pulling him along. "There's always been an extra transportation pad, I'm taking Odd along!" She dragged him up the steps to the pods, stepping into one and looking expectantly at Odd. He sighed, stepping into the other one, looking curiously at the technology that definitely didn't belong in this time and day.
Weird thing/flashback
A doctor stood in front of him, examining a sheet. Everything looked really fuzzy through the strange substance that encompassed his body. "Doctor," Came a muffled voice, "How is the patient?" The doctor, a woman with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes (those kind that make you feel like that person is magical or mysterious) looked up at him, smiling slightly. "I think that he'll pull through." She said, a mere car crash couldn't kill project O. D. D."
End weird thing/flashback
Odd opened his eyes, wondering what the hell that was; when he noticed that he wasn't in any pod anymore, not even in the factory. Heck, he doubted he was on Earth anymore. He looked down at his hands, and screamed.
