Sorry I've been so late with this chapter but I've had so much homework to do and I've had so many essays to write -(. Ironically, I haven't been getting as many reviews after my third chapter -(. C'mon people, I'm getting worried! But, finally I get to write another chapter. Just for an update, I do not own Code Lyoko (obviously). This story takes place before The Key, the sequel will take place after that episode, and I promise I'll try to include some Ulrich and Yumi fluff soon, so don't go crazy on me! Oh and I can't forget Aelita and Jeremie! For all Odd and Sam fans, I'm putting Sam in a few chapters of this story! Well, enjoy!

"Where's Odd?" Jeremie panicked. Aelita and Jeremie were standing alone, because Ulrich was taken by Sissi, Yumi followed them and Odd had suddenly disappeared.

"I don't know! He was here a second ago." Aelita was worrying now because Odd was her "cousin".

"We've got to find him," Jeremie declared. And with that, the two rushed off to find their friend.

At the same time, Odd was running through the woods, trying to escape the scyphozoa, which X.A.N.A. had materialized. "This is not good," thought Odd. "Why did X.A.N.A. have to launch an attack today? I have a date with Sam tonight." Just that moment, Odd wasn't paying attention to what was on the ground and tripped over a rock. Unable to get up, he started crawling backwards, not taking his eyes off of the scyphozoa. Closer and closer the monster came, about to finish Odd off. "Oh great, I'm done for!" he thought. Then, Aelita and Jeremie came to the scene. While Aelita was panicking at the sight of the scyphozoa, Jeremie threw a rock at the materialized monster. It missed, but distracted the scyphozoa from Odd. The octopus-like creature headed right for Aelita. Immediately, Odd got on his feet.

"Hey squid face!" yelled Odd. The scyphozoa turned around. "Yeah, you c'mon aren't you going to fight me!" The scyphozoa headed for Odd. "Go to the factory, hurry!" Odd shouted "I'll keep it distracted!"

"Right," said Jeremie. "I'll call Ulrich, you call Yumi." Aelita nodded and took out her pink cell phone as she and Jeremie started running for the factory.

In his dorm room, Ulrich was sulking. "I can't believe it," thought Ulrich. "All this time I thought Yumi liked me, but she liked William. I guess she wanted a boyfriend in the same grade as her." Ulrich's phone rang, but he was too upset to pick it up.

At the same time, Yumi was in her bedroom at her house. "I can't believe it," thought Yumi. "All this time I thought Ulrich liked me, but he liked Sissi. I guess he wanted a girlfriend in the same grade as him." Yumi's phone rang, but she was too upset to pick it up.

"I don't get it. Why isn't Ulrich picking up?" asked Jeremie. Aelita and Jeremie had reached the factory.

"Yumi isn't picking up either. Do you think some thing's wrong?" Aelita asked.

"That we're just going to have to find out, but not this minute," said Jeremie. "I found the activated tower. It's in the desert region."

"Okay, I'll go," Aelita said, as she headed for the elevator.

"Are you crazy!" Jeremie shouted. "You can't go alone, it's too dangerous!"

"Okay," Aelita decided to stay. "Let's text them this time"

Meanwhile, Odd was still trying to escape the scyphozoa, which was putting up a good fight. He decided to warn the school, but how was he going to get the scyphozoa distracted long enough. So, he decided to throw a rock at it and run to the school.

Back in Ulrich's and Odd's dorm room, Ulrich's phone started beeping. Ulrich checked the text message he had just received. It read:

S.O.S.

X.A.N.A.

-J

"Great, just what I needed today," said Ulrich sarcastically, "X.A.N.A. launching an attack."

In Yumi's room, Yumi was lying down on her bed, a few tears dripping down her face. Her phone started beeping, and Yumi checked the text message she had just received. It read:

S.O.S.

X.A.N.A.

-J

"Great, just what I needed today," said Yumi sarcastically, "X.A.N.A. launching an attack"

Okay, I'm stopping the chapter here because I think this is where a commercial would be if it was a show or a movie on television. Again, I'm so, so, so, so, so sorry that I was so slow getting this chapter written, but you know how school is. Don't worry; I'll be quicker with the other chapters. I'm even starting the 5th chapter right after I submit this chapter to Please submit reviews!
