XANA
A black gas started to creep up to the lunch food. Then it found it's target, a bottle of milk. A fool of a kid finally picked it up. A special person who just so happened to have a love for purple.
"Finally, Lunch, my best subject of the day!" said the hyper active boy after a very long morning at Kadic Jr. High.
"Odd, it's not even a subject!" a boy in a blue turtle neck exclaimed before he broke out in a fit of giggles.
After saying this he received a bunch of giggles from his friends. Yumi couldn't wait to tell all her friends about her encounter with Angel.
"Hey you guys, you know that girl that was at the gate yesterday? Well I found her name was Angel and she's coming to our school next week!"
"Wow that's so cool! I can't wait to meet her. So, Where does she live?" said, from guess who... Odd.
Two hours later, the gang was at the arcade playing a tournament of games. So far Ulrich was tied with Yumi for the winning point, and the electronics "master" was losing badly by lets say, by 7 points.
"So when do we decide who wins?" asked Jeremie who was anxious to getback to his computer and figure out a materialization program for his darling Aelita.
"Well, probablyafter we watch the winning game between Yumi and Ulrich." Odd said as they were walking to an air hockey table.
"Do you think that they'll actually finish today?" Jeremie joked.
"Well I hope so, we have dinner to attend."
Finally, a half hour later, Ulrich won the game point and they were on their way home. A little through their walk to school, Yumi had to go, and Odd told them he had some business to attend to. Odd was on his way to…you guessed it! Angel's house.
When he reached her house, he suddenly felt weak, tired, and cold chills all at once. He didn't know what happened to him. At first he thought it was the cafeteria food, but, he ate all of the food before and this had never ever happened to him, or anyone. As he started to crunch up in a ball, only one thing crossed his mind. XANA.
With Angel…
"Aunt! I'm finally done with my room, you can come in now!" she said as she looked at her work of art that took her all day to put together.
Here's what her room looked like. She had light blue and light purple Chinese lanterns hung randomly on her ceiling. Her walls were painted alternating colors, light blue, dark blue, light blue, dark blue, et cetera. There was a bookshelf that was painted blue with underwater critters painted all over it. Her floor was blue carpeting, and her bed was normal, except for the fact that her pillow and sheets were personalized. Her pillow was blue with 2 purple clouds in the middle that said "Dream Big," and her sheets has a sunset theme; it had dolphins, angel's, and a small island. There also was a dresser painted light purple, and the handles are painted dark purlple.
"WOW." was all that could be heard from her aunt when she entered her nieces room for the first time that day, for Angel wouldn't let anyone in until she finished. She thought it be nice, but this was BEAUTIFUL!
"Aunt, do you think I can take a walk after all the work I did? I really need to stretch my legs."
"Sure. Sure, hon. Just be back before dinner."
Angel kicked on her shoes, and opened the door. She was shocked at what she saw. A boy, not much older then herself, dressed in purple is crunched up in pain.
Angel was so shocked that she called her aunt to see. They finally decided to take him to the bed lying in the corner of the living room near the TV. He was burning up so they took his temperature and found he had a fever of over 104 degrees! After finding that out, Angel kept her cool amazingly well. For her it was a piece of cake after all the events that occurred in her life thus far. Her aunt on the other hand, wasn't taking it as well.
"Oh my God, Oh my God, what do we do! What do we do!"
"Calm down Aunt. You won't be able to think clearly, if all you do is spaz. Get a warm, damp cloth and bring it to me."
After that task was done Angel put it on his forehead to hopefully lower his fever. Meanwhile, her aunt resorted to biting her fingernails. Even though Angel looked like she kept her cool, deep down she wondered if he was actually going to make it. She was extremely worried for the strangers life. She put the rosary she wore under his pillow, hoping it would help just the faintest bit.
"XANA. XANA. XANA." the mysterious boy moaned.
"Who's XANA?" she wondered to herself.
At Kadic…
'It's almost dinner time, and Odd's still not back. It's not like him to miss one of his favorite times during the day.' Ulrich thought to himself. 'Maybe I should call him up to see if he's okay.'
"ring ring ring. I'm sorry I can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message after the beep. Beep."
Ulrich hung up wondering where the heck Odd was. Then he looked in his dorm, the cafeteria, and in the field. Then a stroke of brilliance hit him. He called Yumi and Jeremie to help him find Odd. So he told them to split up to search for Odd. Yumi would look around outside of school, Jeremie would check the factory, and he would check the school grounds. Again. After about a half hour, Jeremie and Ulrich decided to go back to the cafeteria and start eating dinner, since Jim would do a head count to make sure everyone is there. Meanwhile Yumi kept looking since she already ate dinner.
With Yumi…
Where could he be? Yumi kept thinking. She kept debating whether or not to ask Angel to help her, that way they could cover more ground. Finally after 10 minutes of debating she finally decided to ask her for help.
5 minutes later she arrived at Angel's doorstep and rang the bell. Thankfully they were home, and Angel's aunt opened the door.
"Hi, is Angel there?"
"Yes. One minute please. I'll be right back."
A few minutes later Angel came to the door.
"Hey Yumi, What's Up?"
"Angel do you think you can help me find a friend? He was missing and my friends and I looked all over for him."
"Sure. So what does he look like?"
"Oh my gosh thanks for your help. He's dressed in all purple -"
"Does he have spikey blond hair and a purple splotch in the middle?" she asked, suddenly looking as if she hoped it wasn't so.
"Yah. How did you know?" I said in shock that she knew how he looked like.
" Because I found him in front of my house crunched up in pain. Now he has a fever of over 104. And he keeps mumbling words that sound like xana" She said with downcast eyes and a saddened expression.
"Are you serious? Can I see him?" Suddenly very worried that this was XANA's doing.
When I came in, I saw Odd his face looking like he was in a lot of pain. By instinct I dialed Jeremie's number, while trying to gain my composure back at the same time.
"Hello? Jeremie?"
"Yah. Any news on Odd?"
Instead of answering his question, I ignored it. "Can you run a scan on Lyoko for an activated tower?"
"Sure but why?"
"I think XANA just launched an attack on Odd, but I can't be sure."
There was a moment of silence between us as the full impact of those words sank in.
"Yumi? I'll call you back when I get the results. For now just stay with him, 'kay?"
"'kay." I said in a shaky voice then I hung up.
Suddenly Odd started to shake violently as if he's having a horrible nightmare. Angel still stood there as calm as ever but, her eyes held a hint of shock. I was shocked that she seemed so uncaring about my friend who had a possibility of dying!
"How can you be so uncaring? Can't you see he's probably going to die soon!" I hissed so I wouldn't wake Odd.
"Who says I'm acting uncaring? As far as I know, I could have left him out on my porch, but, instead I took him in. Look, I know you're upset about you friend, but taking it out on someone who is only trying to help, isn't going to solve anything." she said with confidence, a tinge of annoyance, and calm all combined.
"I'm going to start making dinner." she said right after she looked at the clock. It was 6:45. So far Odd's been shaking like this 3 whole minutes. Finally, Jeremie called back and confirmed my worries. XANA launched an attack.
"Hey Angel. I'm going to have to go now. Do you think you can watch him for a while?"
"Yah. Sure."
I hurried out the door and ran toward the factory.
"Hey, Aunt? Can you watch him for me? I'm going to take a shower. Oh yah. Foods on the table"
"Sure." she said with worry. The boy looked paler then before.
At the factory…
"Whoa, Whoa. Whoa. What happened to Odd?" Ulrich asked as Yumi was trying to explain what happened to Odd. She kept mumbling and mumbling. Finally she regained her composure and told us that Odd has a terrible fever and was most likely going to die. We were so shocked, Jeremie sent us strait to the scanners.
"Aelita the towers in the glaicer region. I'm sending Ulrich and Yumi."
"Where's Odd?"
"He's the one under attack," Jeremie answered grimly ",so if you don't mind, please pick up the pace."
" 5 roachters, 2 groups of wasps, and a megatank approaching you guys."
"Gotcha Jeremie. Okay, Yumi take the roachters, and 1 group of wasps, I'll take on the megatank and the other group of wasps. Aelita go and hide."
The battle begun. I waited for the megatank to hurry up and attack so I could use it's momentum to propel me thru the air and catch the tank by surprise. Finally, it attacked and I killed it. Execpt for the fact that I was attacked at least 3 times by the wasps. Next I was on to the wasps. Yumi seemed to have a lot of trouble since most of the monsters were attacking her. So far she managed to kill 2 wasps, and 3 roachters.
"Hey Yumi doing alright?"
"Never been better. Jeremie Life Points update."
"Ulrich 80. Yumi 30. Yumi please be careful" he pleaded
With Odd...
I opened my eyes to see an lady sitting by my bed. Wait a minute, this isn't my dorm room. Shoot. Where am I?
"So you finally awoke. Your in my house, my niece found you out on our porch crunched up in a ball"
Oh. Right. Now I remember what happened. I got up and tried to stand, but my body collapsed from my weight. The lady helped me back on the bed, since obviously I couldn't walk anywhere. My body still felt weak, and drained of energy. I saw a girl about my age carrying a tray of food to my bed.
"Hungry?" she asked.
"Definitely." with a huge grin on my face. I devoured the food in less then a minute. Then I saw her laughing at me, why was she laughing anyway? Oh well.
"Feel okay now?"
"Yah, much better."
"Do you know a girl named Yumi?"
"Yah. Why?"
"No reason."
I aimed for a wasp…and I missed. It used this opportunity to hit me in the torso. I aimed again this time I hit it right on the mark and it exploded. I kept going till I finally killed all the wasps. Now to help Yumi.
When I got there Yumi only had 2 more roachsters to go. So I decided to help Aelita get to the tower instead. She entered the tower she put her hand on the screen and typed her name.
Odd collapsed and stopped breathing.
Code
Paramedics start to come into the room.
Lyoko.
RETERN TO THE PAST NOW!
A purifying white light effulged the world and the gang found themselves back at the arcade watching the sudden death round between Yumi and Ulrich.
