Chapter 25
Jake woke up with a start when Jeremie's computer started beeping.
"What is that?" He asked groggily.
"My computer" Jeremie said. "Will you call your sisters and tell them XANA is attacking? I'll explain everything else later"
"Sure" He took out his phone and dialed Madison's number. "Jeremie told me to tell you that XANA is attacking" Some mumbling was heard through the phone. "Okay, I'll see you there" He hung up his phone. Jeremie had already left to go to the factory. Jake quickly got dressed and ran to the park. There, he met up with Alexis, Madison, and Aelita. "So…where are we going?"
"Just follow us" Madison said. Madison, Alexis, and Aelita led Jake to the factory. When they got there, Jeremie, Ulrich, Alex and Odd were already there.
"Yumi isn't coming. Her parents woke up when she tried to sneak out" Ulrich said.
Jeremie then explained Lyoko to Jake. Ulrich, Alex, Odd, Jake, Aelita, Alexis, and Madison went to the scanners and went to Lyoko.
"The tower is in the desert region" Jeremie said. "It's 30 degrees North and 75 degrees West"
"I see it, it's that way" Aelita said pointing. "Jeremie, what are Jake's weapons?"
"Well, he can change from one animal to another. Any animal at all. He also has bow and arrows" Jake was dressed in camouflage pants and matching shirt.
"Then let's get to the tower!" Jake said. He transformed into a cheetah and ran towards the tower. He then came running back. "There are two megatanks in the way and that's it"
"Thank you Jake. Why didn't Jeremie tell us that?" Aelita asked.
"I don't know. I'm not a genius"
"Sure you aren't" Madison said.
"Okay, maybe a little"
"You're smarter than me. You skipped a grade and are about to skip another"
"What's wrong with that?"
"You're smart"
"You are too"
"Not as smart as you"
"Great, now I feel stupid" Alexis said.
"Aw, you aren't stupid" Alex said as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Hello? We have a tower to deactivate here!" Jake yelled.
"I found out what XANA is doing, he took control of a plane that is about to crash into the ocean and the airplane is so large that it could cause a massive tsunami that will hit all of France!" Jeremie said.
"How much time do we have before it collides into the ocean?"
"Six minutes and counting!"
"Can we have our vehicles?" Odd asked.
"I'm trying but I'm having problems virtualizing them. It's not letting me. But Alexis can make you all fly to the tower!"
"Oh yeah…" Alexis said sheepishly. "Hehehe" She tapped them all lightly on the head with the star end of her wand. All except herself and Jake. Jake transformed into a raven and flew upwards. Everyone else floated upwards too. Alexis flapped her wings in a nice, swift, motion until she was off the ground. They then flew towards the tower.
"Four minutes! Hurry up guys!" Jeremie said panicky.
"We're almost there! Hold your horses!" Ulrich said. They came closer to the tower and the two megatanks got ready to fire. Alexis tapped everyone on the head again, making them fall to the ground. Jake landed and turned into his human self. Well, as most human he could get. He took out his bow and one arrow. He took aim and fired. It hit the eye of a megatank and it exploded. The others were trying to take out the other one. Odd kept on missing, Ulrich had already gotten devirtualized while pushing Aelita out of the way of the laser. Madison was trying to do a sneak attack but it wasn't working very well. Alexis was trying to get it from the air. And Alex had his pistol out ready to fire once it opened back up. Jake joined them with an arrow ready. The megatank opened up and gathered strength. It was about to fire but Alex was quicker. He shot at it with his pistol and it hit its target.
"Go Aelita!" Alex said. "How much time do we have Jeremie?"
"45 seconds!" Aelita entered the tower and floated up to the second platform. She placed her hand on the screen. Her name appeared on the screen. It then asked for a code. She typed in Lyoko.
"Tower deactivated" She said.
"Return to the past now!" Jeremie yelled. A white light engulfed everyone. They went back to that morning when Jake was waking up.
"That was interesting" He told Jeremie.
"That happens about everyday. We don't always use the return to the past though"
"I see"
"We better get to breakfast before Odd wakes up or he'll eat it all"
"Okay" They left for breakfast after getting ready. Then they all went to classes. Jake, a year behind the others.
After classes, they met up in Ulrich, Odd, and Alex's dorm.
"How'd you like your first day of classes?" Yumi asked Jake.
"It was really fun. I like this school. I met two girls today. Milly Solovieff and Tamiya Diop. They're really nice"
"Did they tell you that they're reporters for the school newspaper?"
"Yeah"
"Do they want to interview you?"
"They asked me but I said I didn't want to"
"I see"
"Yeah. Only class I don't like so much is gym with Jim. He expects a lot from me since I'm Madison's little brother but we have two completely different lives"
"Yeah. We aren't that much alike" Madison said.
"Yeah but, I did okay today"
"That's good"
"Who wants to go get some ice ream?" Odd asked. The others laughed. Always thinking about food…or Madison. They got up and went to the ice cream parlor down the block.
A/N yeah, I know, short. I tried but I couldn't think of anything else to add. I know, bad ending. At least I updated. Please review. And don't get mad at me but I think the next chapter is going to be even shorter. And it's the last one.
