Chapter 6
A weapon for...Aelita!
#revised version#
In the factory...
"So…a weapon for Aelita?" Yumi asked, looking at Jeremie to confirm the idea. Ulrich was still fuming slightly from Yumi's earlier 'joke.'
"Of course! I should get started on it right away!" Jeremie exclaimed excitedly, already getting poised for typing.
"Yeah, but like it or not, we still have to go back school," Ulrich explained, taking a break from fuming. "Unfortunately, we can't stay here all day. What if Jim goes to our rooms? And, we need rest for whatever XANA does next."
Jeremie sighed. "I guess you're right. But can we at least decide what it's going to be?" he asked, hoping his plan would work.
"Well…uh, yeah, I guess that's okay," Ulrich complied.
Jeremie said a mental 'yes!' before talking. "Well then, it should be something long-range. I don't want Aelita to be anywhere near XANA for any reason."
"Well, how about something like my fan, or Odd's laser arrows?" Yumi suggested.
"Maybe something like Odd's weapon." Ulrich said, getting in a 'thinking position.' "But let's get creative...maybe a bracelet, since she's a girl...then, something perhaps a bit different from Odd's weapon...how about the bracelet, then it can turn into a bow and arrow whenever she wants...so it won't be weighing her down if she has to run for awhile."
Everyone went silent. Ulrich looked up from his 'thinking position' and glanced at his two friends. "What?"
Yumi smiled. "Nothing. I like your idea." Ulrich's face turned a bit red. "I was...I was just...you know...since she's...she's a girl...and, you know...maybe something different..." Ulrich stuttered, still blushing slightly.
"Well, let's see what Aelita thinks." Jeremie turned toward the super computer. "Aelita? Are you there?"
A second passed, and then Aelita appeared on the screen. "Yes Jeremie, I'm here. And I found out a little bit about the virus XANA put inside of Odd."
"What did you find out?" Jeremie, Ulrich, and Yumi asked simultaneously, each with an anxious expression on their face.
"Odd can't be devitalized from the computer, but the weird things are that he now has 200 life points and unlimited laser arrows," Aelita said with a confused expression.
"200 life points and unlimited laser arrows! Why would XANA give Odd even more life points and unlimited laser arrows!" Jeremie exclaimed, "Wouldn't that just strengthen Odd's chances on escaping?"
"XANA is probably going to use Odd against us. That could explain why XANA gave more life points and unlimited laser arrows," Ulrich predicted.
"That could be right, but what if Odd turns on XANA and attacks him?" Jeremie asked.
"There might be more about this virus that I haven't seen yet. I'll go check." Aelita offered, getting ready to log out.
"Wait, Aelita!" Jeremie shouted.
"What is it?" Aelita asked questionly (not rudely).
"Umm...We thought you might need a weapon." Jeremie said, slightly blushing.
"A weapon?"
"Yeah," Yumi said, "Ulrich has a great idea, too. It's very creative." Ulrich blushed slightly, and then explained his idea.
"Well, what do you think Aelita?" Yumi asked.
Aelita looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded her head and smiled. "It sounds like a great idea! I love it! But how will you get the weapon to me?"
"We're going to go back to the school so that Jim won't try and look for us," Jeremie explained. "Then I'm going to find a way to get the weapon created and send it to you while I'm in my room. Or, at least get a program for it in my room. I might have to use the super computer to send it."
"Okay, sounds great! I'll be waiting! But don't stay up too late Jeremie, because I know you will. By the way, what's you're cover-up story for Odd's 'disappearance?'"
"Um...uh..." Jeremie stuttered. Drawing a blank, he turned toward Ulrich and Yumi to see if they had an idea. Both looked stumped, not able to find a good cover-up story either. "How about we tell the teachers we don't know what happened to him and we don't know where he is?" Yumi suggested.
"Well," Ulrich said, sighing. "At least it'll pretty much be the truth."
"Yeah…" Yumi said, copying Ulrich's sigh.
"Okay, before we go with this answer, anybody else got any other ideas?" Ulrich said. All was silent for a moment, then Aelita said, "Wait, isn't tomorrow Saturday? Maybe they won't notice that he's gone. And if they do, how about just telling them that he went to go and visit his parents for the weekend? They don't live in the same city that you guys live in, right?"
Jeremie, Ulrich and Yumi all stared at Aelita. Then Jeremie said, "Aelita, that has to be on of the best cover-up stories I've heard in a while. And that's right, Odd's parents don't live in this city. Sounds like we're going to go with that story, right guys?" Ulrich and Yumi nodded their heads in agreement. "Then it's settled," Jeremie confirmed.
"Okay! I'm looking forward to that weapon Jeremie! It sounds perfect!" Aelita said before bidding them goodnight, and then disappearing off of the screen. Jeremie blushed slightly at the last statement.
"Well, c'mon Romeo, let's go," Ulrich said. As Jeremie put the headset back on the keyboard and got up, Yumi said, "Yeah, you guys have to head back to the school before Jim finds out that you're still not there, and I have to go back home before my parents get worried sick and call the police to look for me." Jeremie sighed in defeat as he pushed the button in the elevator that sent them upwards.
When they arrived in the park and climbed out of the manhole leading to the sewer, Yumi turned toward the gates leading to their school so she could go home. "Tomorrows Saturday, so we'll have all day, right?"
"Yeah, we don't have anything else tomorrow. How about we all meet in Jeremie's room at about...8:00?" Ulrich answered.
Yumi giggled. "You mean am or pm?"
"Um...am."
"You sure Ulrich? The way you and Odd sleep, I thought you meant pm."
Ulrich blushed.
"Okay, then I'll see you guys tomorrow!" And with that, Yumi left Jeremie and Ulrich and headed toward her house.
In the...um...place where Odd and XANA are...
"What did you do to me?" Odd asked angrily.
"I simply put a virus inside of you," XANA said calmly.
"Well, I don't want it inside of me!"
"That's too bad."
"Get it out now!"
"No."
"Why not!"
"Because I'm going to use you to help me defeat those other kids and...to put it nicely...get rid of Aelita. You don't have a choice in the matter."
"Oh yeah? Why not?"
"Because you're going help me whether you like it or not."
"Humph. Didn't know XANA would need help. Oh, but you do have all of those monsters of yours too…"
XANA face went from calm to angry. He quickly grabbed the hilt of his sword and flicked the point of it at Odd's throat (just to let you know, Odds still in the cage).
Quickly thinking, Odd thought of a plan that could maybe help him get out of Lyoko and back to earth. "Go ahead. Devitalize me."
"You really want me to do that?" XANA said icily. "If I do that, you'll be killed, thanks to the virus inside of you."
Odd's eyes grew wide. This was just like the time XANA hacked into the super computer and put a virus there. But this time it seemed it was just him, considering that he saw Yumi and Ulrich devitalized. 'But…did they get back safely?' That Odd couldn't answer.
After what seemed like an hour, XANA put his sword back into the sheath while saying, "I'm wasting my time. I've got things to do. People to get rid of."
Hearing this, Odd grew angry. "Don't you dare hurt any of my friends! Or you'll have me to answer to!"
"Oh, really? I'd like to see you stop me," XANA challenged.
Odd raised his left arm up and aligned it between two of the bars. XANA saw this and narrowed his eyes. Odd bent his hand slightly down so it wouldn't get in the way of the arrow and shouted, "LASER ARROW!"
It all happened so fast- Odd fired the laser arrow, it shot out and then when it was about to go out of the cage, a blue force field type of thing appeared and the arrow exploded, sending Odd flying backwards and crashing into the other side of the cage.
"What the-!"
XANA's eye's seemed to be laughing at him. "So, you finally discovered my barrier?"
Odd angrily rubbed his head, which was now twice as sore because of earlier when he jumped too high in the cage.
"So what if I did?"
XANA was starting to grow angry again. Why'd he have to get the sarcastic one? He mentally punched himself for that.
"Maybe I should just let you out of that cage. You'll probably only kill yourself in there the way you're going."
This confused Odd. Why would he willingly release him? Wouldn't that mean that Odd could try and escape? So what was XANA planning?
"Let me guess," XANA said with an evil grin on his face. "You're probably wondering why I would willingly let you out of that cage. Well, you'll just have to wait and see."
With that, XANA walked back to the computer in the room they were in and pressed a few oddly shaped buttons. First, Odd noticed that the blue barrier appeared then disappeared. Then the cage started to slowly fade away...
