Chapter: 9 Among The Betrayed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Time On Code Lyoko:

Matthew raised his hand higher only saying one last thing.

"I'm sorry..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew stood there with his hand raised. Ulrich and Yumi bowed their heads.

Matthew smiled. He spun around quickly and shot Xana with his lightning bolt. "ODD NOW!" he yelled.

Odd jumped up from his little act and stuck a syringe of nano bots into Xana.

Xana howled in anger and rage. He disappeared. "Nice work Odd." said Matthew helping Ulrich and Yumi up.

Yumi and Ulrich looked as confused as Jeremie and Aelita. Odd and Matthew saw this and laughed.

"But...but...Odd...Matthew...Xana...?" stuttered Yumi. "All just an act." said Odd proudly.

"But...your...throat...cracked." sputtered Ulrich. Odd reached into his pocket and took out a tape recorder. He played it and everyone heard the sickening Crack. that was played earlier.

"Then...what was that huge Bang sound?" asked Ulrich. "I'll explain that." said Mathew as he reached in his pocket.

He took out a tiny itty bitty button. He pushed it and it sent electricity through his body while making a huge bang noise. "Owww, if I set it high enough, it knocks me

unconscious." Matthew said as he put the button back in his pocket.

"But...my research?" asked Jeremie. Matthew went over to the super computer. "Right here." he said as he pushed a button and it appeared.

"So...your not my cousin?" Yumi asked. "No, but I don't know how to explain this to Mr. Ishiyama." Matthew shrugged.

"What was in that syringe?" asked Aelita. Odd smiled and said, "Nanobots, Matthew designed them. Their like a mobile computer virus, so Xana is officially dead."

Jeremie and Aelita's eyes widened. Matthew went back to the supercomputer and typed something and printed it.

"Now, here's a couple of codes that will make your Lyoko trips into Carthage a hell of a lot easier, because Xana's monsters are still their, but they run amuck now."

The Lyoko gang and Matthew walked out of the factory. The sun was just beginning to set.

"Well, this was one hell of a month!" says Odd as everyone laughs. Matthew stares at the sunset. "Well, Matthew, you can still stay at my house, and you'll always be my cousin." said Yumi as she hugged him tightly.

Matthew smiled and hugged her back as they headed back to Kadic.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"MR. HOLLOWS, PLEASE REPORT TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE, IMMEDIANTELY!" yelled the intercom.

Matthew cringed and walked towards the office, looking back to wave at the gang.

Matthew drew a deep breath and fixed his hair. He walked in the office. "Yes, what seems to be the problem?" he asked nervously.

The principal looked up at him with cold eyes. "Sit." Mr. Delmas said. He sounded like he was commanding a dog rather than a teenager.

Matthew sat down in the chair and gulped. "My daughter...is pregnant..." said the principal said glaring at Matthew.

Matthew froze. "Wait, I need to know this why?" Matthew said shakily. Mr. Delmas glared at him more. "Don't you remember anything on what happened a week ago?" he asked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLASHBACK!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew just came out of science when Sissi met him. "Heya Matt." she said lustfully.

"Er- Hey Sissi, whats up?" Matthew asked not really caring. Sissi just smiled and leaned up and started kissing him.Matthew just went with it and rolled his eyes when she stuck her tongue in his mouth.

Sissi withdrew and smiled at him. "Come to my room, I've got something that will drive you wild." she said with desire in her eyes.

Matthew's voice seemed to fail him as he nodded, lust controlling his actions now.

Sissi pulled Matthew in the room and locked the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh...now I remember...Mr. Delmas I am sooooo Sorry!" pleaded Matthew. "Oh, don't worry son, your about 16 and she's about 16, your old enough to raise a child."

Matthew's eyes widened. "Mr...Mr. Delmas...I...I can't raise a...a...a..child! Can't she get an abortion?"" he said a little scared. Mr. Delmas got up and stood in front of him.

"YOUR THE ONE THAT GOT HER PREGNANT, SO YOU TAKE CARE OF THE CHILD AND HER!" he screamed. "Yessir!" yelled Matthew as he ran out.

The Lyoko gang was nowhere in sight and for that Matthew was glad. He exhaled deeply and paced around the school.

'What am I going to tell the other's..."Uh Hey guy's, well, I got Sissi pregnant"...nooo...this can't be happening to me...I'm just a kid..." he thought as he sat under a tree.

"Damnit...I'm too young for this!" he thought as he started mentally hitting himself.

All he could think about was I'm too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I'm just a kid myself.
How'm I gonna raise one.

"What am I going to do..." he said to no one in particular.

All he could see were his dreams goin' up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town and hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.

"God, I'm such a fucking idiot!" He shouted getting up and hitting the tree, leaning against it.

Chorus:
And he said,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
Might as well kiss it all good-bye.
There goes my life...

A couple years of up all night and a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made covers up the refrigerator.
Oh yeah...he loves that little girl.

Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him dragging that teddy bear.
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncin' curls.

Chorus:
He smiles...
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you, daddy good-night.
There goes my life.

She had that Honda loaded down.
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood, said you're good to go.
She hugged them both and headed off to the West Coast.

Chorus:
And he cried,
There goes my life.
There goes my future, my everything.
I love you.
Baby good-bye.

There goes my life.
There goes my life.
Baby good-bye.

"Great...this is what I deserve...but not what Sissi deserved...," he sighed, "I ruined her life as well as mine, damn!'' he said queitly as he slid down the tree and brought his knees to his chest.

He decided to stop sulking and went home.

He passed right by Yumi without saying hey and fell onto the bed in his room. He sighed loudly and mentally hit himself again.

Yumi knocked on his door. "Matthew? You alright?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm...alive." he said. He wasn't really okay, but he couldn't tell Yumi why.

"Alright, dinner's in half an hour, see ya." Yumi went to help her mom fix dinner.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Matthew came down from dinner he looked realy upset.

Mr. Ishiyama saw this and decided it was a teenage guy thing. "Was ist los dort, Sohn?" Mr. Ishiyama asked in German.(translation: What's the matter there, son?)

Matthew looked up and cleared his throat. "Umm, ich uh, brauchen einen Job, Onkel Yin." He said a little afraid. (Translation: Umm, I uh, need a job, Uncle Yin)

Mr. Ishiyama narrowed his eyes as Matthew told him why he needed a job. "Alright." He said in plain english. Matthew nodded and went back to eating his ramen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew woke up early for his job. He got dressed as Mr. Ishiyama told him to. A suit.

Matthew whined angrily as he tightened his tie. He looked at himself in the mirror. He didn't look like the buisness type.

Matthew grabbed the scissors. He exhaled angrily and cut his hair short like Ulrich's. He slumped against the wall and pulled out a comb and some hair gel.

He gelled his hair down and combed it five million times. He straightened his tie a little and went down to meet Mr. Ishiyama.

To his surprise and dismay, Yumi was up making breakfast. "Whoa, Matt, where are you going?" she asked stifiling a laugh.

He scoffed funnily and said, "To my new job." Yumi exchanged a look with her mother who knew exactly why Matthew needed a job.

He took out his comb again and starting grooming himself for the millionth time that morning.

Mr. Ishiyama came down and drove Matthew to his workplace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew called his uncle and told him he didn't need him to pick him up.

Mr. Ishiyama came home at half past seven p.m. "Well, where's Matthew?" his wife asked. Mr. Ishiyama was about to answer when they both heard a screeching of tires in their driveway.

They and Yumi came out onto the porch to see a brand new Viper pulling up into their driveway.

Matthew climbed out of the Viper and waved at them. "Whoa! Nice car, Matt." said Yumi as she went down to him.

"Yeah, just bought it." he said a little proud of himself. "Well, it's almost dinner time, come on." said Mrs. Ishiyama, as Matthew and Yumi went into the house.

'I'm going to find out why Matthew needed a job and why he's acting so jumpy.' thought Yumi as she ate and went to bed.
