I put in the other two chappys today and realized something... today is the one month aniversary since I first put in this fanfic! Thirty days... wow. i'm doing really good. Anyways, here's another chappy in celebration! Enjoy...

(Jeremie P.O.V.)

When Odd runs after Ulrich, I realize something.

I know why XANA attacked Yumi!

I explain my thoughts to Yumi and Aelita. They look shocked XANA would go through all that trouble, just for one person.

"It still doesn't make any sense. Why would XANA do all this, just so he could hurt Yumi? It doesn't hurt her all that much, and she can still fight." Aelita says.

"If anything, it just makes me want to fight harder." Yumi says.

"I don't know. I need to think about it for a while." I say consolingly. "I promised Ulrich, so I'm going to go and see if I can do anything with that file. Macas' trial is set for Friday, so I need to get working. I'll see you in class." I say.

I grab my laptop, stand up and head out the door. I get back to my room quickly, and put the CD in my computer. I scan through it quickly, seeing if there are any obvious changes. Nope. I open the properties of the file and look through that, but still nothing. I try a couple of different tactics, trying to see if XANA messed with the codes or other things. Nothing.

Good thing I left breakfast early. I have about another half-hour to work.

I try several different things, but nothing reveals the original file, or the part that was added on.

Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this. Let's try something simple. I doubt XANA would think I would get a hold of this anyway.

I opened a simple movie-making program and opened the file.

Ah, there we go.

XANA had just made a simple overlap movie, and it ran on top of parts of the original. Before I was looking for a different file that changed the original, but this was a part of the original. Unfortunately, XANA has it password encrypted so I can't easily remove the overlap.

I created a program to work on the file, removing the overlap bit by bit. It would take at least a day or two, this is complicated work. I leave my computer running and leave, making sure to lock my door.

(Macas P.O.V.)

After Ulrich runs off, I don't feel like eating anymore. I quietly grab my tray and leave. I don't think anyone notices. (A/N: Check the last chapter, they talk about XANA after Ulrich leaves, and Macas suddenly disappears… coincidence? I think not.) I run after Ulrich, I need to talk to him really quickly. I see him run to the park, and I follow. I watch him climb into a tree, and keep climbing until he nears the top.

"Ulrich?" I say, looking up. He looks down surprised.

"What do you want?"

"Did you see the school paper the other day?"

"No, I don't read it."

"Good. It printed some weird story about me dating Yumi. It said that's why we got in a fight in the field on Saturday."

"Don't tell me you're dating her too? I can't believe she would date me just for Odd."

"What are you talking about? Yumi is not dating anyone except you, and she wants to keep it that way."

"Or maybe Yumi is a player and she's dating all of you without anyone else finding out."

"Dammit Ulrich, never say that again. Yumi is a good person, and she has never gone out with anyone but you."

"You know what? You're not helping, so shut the hell up and go away." Ulrich says and turns away again.

"Ulrich, you're being stupid. You're believing Sissi's lies, and now you may have lost Yumi." Ulrich says nothing. "Just so you know, I had Millie print corrections in the next day's paper saying we were not going out." I say and walk away.

The rest of the day goes smoothly, I don't sit next to anyone during all my classes, I don't feel like having another confrontation. After class, I walk around the park a bit, trying to gather my thoughts.

My trial is in two days, and I still have nothing. I am sure to be expelled.

I hear a clink and I stumble. I look down and see that I have stumbled on a manhole cover that is partially uncovered.

(Ulrich P.O.V.)

When class began, I noticed that Macas decided to sit by himself, on the other side of the room. I wave for him to come over, but he ignored me. He does that all day long. After class, I look for him, but I can't find him anywhere. I decide to look around the park when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I look at it to find a text message that says:

SOS

XANA

-J

I give a sigh of relief, knowing now I have something to occupy my thoughts. I run towards the manhole cover, and meet Odd and Yumi there. They are looking at the cover, and I realize something.

The cover is off…

I quickly slide down the ladder and realize my skateboard is missing.

That's not good.

(Macas P.O.V.)

I decide 'what the hell' I go down the ladder, into the sewers. I see two scooters and three skateboards there.

What the… why would someone leave their stuff here?

I grab one of the skateboards and skate off. I'm not much of a skateboarder, but I can manage to not fall off for most of the journey. I had to walk down the stairs though. I reach a dead end and see another ladder on my left, going up to a trap door thing. I get out and look around. I'm near a bridge, which leads to an old abandoned factory.

Cool. Let's go exploring.

I jog across the bridge and enter the factory. It smells like old rusty metal. Seeing no other way down, I grab one of the ropes and shimmy down it, landing on the floor. Of course, the first thing to attract my attention is an old freight elevator. It looks like it hasn't worked in years. I go inside and push the large red button on the wall. To my surprise, it jolts downward. It comes to a stop, and a panel opens underneath the button, revealing a keypad.

Oh shit. If I don't get the right combo, it looks like I'm stuck here.

I cross my fingers and enter the first four digits that come to mind: 8614. Amazingly enough, the door glides open smoothly, revealing the coolest sight I have ever seen.

(Ulrich P.O.V.)

As the others skate as fast as they can, I run through the sewers. Seeing as my board was taken, I have to. Jeremie and Aelita would be here shortly, and they would need their scooters. We reach the ladder leading towards the bridge, and see the overhead door has already been opened.

"Maybe Jeremie and Aelita have already been through here." Said Odd hopefully.

"No, he was back in his dorm when he called me. He won't be here for another couple of minutes. Besides, their scooters were still there."

We scramble up the ladder, and run across the bridge. One of the rope swings is different; it's a couple of feet away from the normal position.

Great, someone has definitely been here. That means someone has guaranteed seen this place and knows where it is.

I swing down and push the rope back towards Odd, who was waiting. We enter the elevator and push the button for the supercomputer room. Yumi enters the code, and we step out to find a big surprise.

(Macas P.O.V.)

I stepped out of the elevator, and saw the coolest thing ever. A huge projection with some different sectors on it, but even cooler was the fact that there was a large monitor and keyboard setup. I walk over, take off my backpack and sit in the chair.

Wow. This is amazing. This has to be the fastest computer I have ever seen.

I enter the password again and am granted access to all files. I look through some of them; they have the most complicated programs I've ever seen. I find one files especially interesting. It's labeled simply Lyoko.

Lyoko… there it is again! This is too much of a coincidence.

I look through the files and see a folder labeled MONSTER INFO. I open it and see pictures of the creatures I drew. The metal crab, the block with legs and the cannonball-like thing.

"Woah…" I say to myself and suddenly I hear the elevator door open. I turn to see Yumi, Odd and Ulrich standing there, looking amazed.

"H-hey guys. What's up?" I say, trying to look as though I wasn't snooping around in something they obviously kept secret.

"How did you get in here?" Ulrich asks, walking over to me. I quickly get out of the chair and grab my backpack.

"I don't know, I just kind of found this place."

"The door is password protected." Yumi says, standing next to Ulrich.

"I just guessed some random numbers. Is that a problem?"

"Yah it's a problem. You can't tell anyone about what you saw here okay?" Ulrich says, looking me in the eye.

"Yah, okay. You know I'm good at keeping secrets. But I just want to know, what is this place?" I say, looking from Odd to Ulrich to Yumi. Then the elevator closes, and goes back up.

"That would be Einstein coming. We'll let him explain." Odd says, and walks over the elevator.

You asked for it and you got it, Macas has discovered Lyoko. Prepare for some cool chappys, they are coming! R&R
