New Adventures: Attack of the Zombies

Inside Lila and Aelita's room

POV Lila's

Dear Diary…

Hard to believe we're already in March since Valentine's day was just a couple of weeks ago. So much has happened... it's kind of strange to think things in your life can change in just a short amount of time. Today is March 10th, and it's only been five days since Xana attacked us with the Krabs.

Cameron had texted me the other day, letting me know he's finally enrolled in his old school again in New York City. His parents helped him enroll back to the school after he was told to write an apology letter for that scare, he gave his former substitute teacher with that wasp robot he built.

Surprisingly she's still there and accepted the apology. He still hasn't gotten a chance to write the letters to us, but he promised he will once he gets the chance to.

I do miss Cameron though. He could have helped Odd with the Krabs that chased him. While I'm upset, he's left… I know he had to.

Given what happened to future Aelita, and given that we had let him get away with it… he had to go.

But I hope, that one day… I'll get to see him again. Especially, if I'll ever need that spare time machine back from him. Hopefully, he won't press the red button any time soon… although, it'll probably tempt him. A lot. God, I hope he doesn't press the button.

After a long day of classes and taking my Italian test, that I'm sure I passed, (which from what it sounded like, Jeremy didn't, but we'll know sometime soon what are our grades are), I'm going to meet the others for dinner. Aelita's already gone ahead.

Lila.

Inside the cafeteria

Opening the door to the cafeteria I see that Aelita, Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremy are already at our usual table. Walking to the empty dinner line, I grab a tray. I start moving down to see Rosa.

"Hi, Lila, mashed potatoes?" Rosa asks.

"Sure thing, Rosa," I reply. Rosa smiles and, taking my tray, she gives me two full scoops of mashed potatoes.

"We also have chocolate pudding for dessert. I imagine Odd might ask for yours," Rosa warns me.

"I'll take a pudding. He's not getting his hands on mine!" I proclaim with a smile.

Rosa smiles back and places the chocolate pudding on my tray. She gives me a spoon and a fork for the mash potatoes. I take my tray back.

"Thanks, Rosa, I really appreciate it," I say, thanking her genuinely.

"You're welcome. Enjoy," Rosa says.

Heading over to the table, I sit down next to Aelita.

"Hey Lila, I was wondering if I can have your-" Odd starts to say, but I glare at him.

"No Odd, you can't. It's mine," I interrupt.

"But-" I look at Odd's tray, which has three chocolate puddings on it unopened.

"Odd, you have three puddings right there! The answer is no!" I exclaim.

"Fine," Odd pouts.

Jeremy, Ulrich, Aelita and I can't help but chuckle a little. It's good that he has his appetite back, the whole thing with Cameron leaving made him really upset.

I can't really imagine how future Aelita's death affected him though… but at least he seems okay, I think looking at him.

"Hey Lila, I was thinking, after we have dinner we should work on more combinations again," Jeremy suggests.

"Sure!" I smile.

Odd starts to dig into his mashed potatoes and I start eating my own.

Later

I've finished my mash potatoes and I peel the cover off of my chocolate pudding.

This looks really good! I'm not particularly big on sweets but Odd is not getting his hands on this! I think.

Odd has finished his third pudding. Aelita, Jeremy, and Ulrich have finished their meals, but Jeremy hasn't touched his pudding yet. I pick up my spoon and get ready to eat my chocolate pudding.

"Say, can I have your chocolate pudding?" Odd asks me.

"Isn't that your fourth one Odd?" Aelita asks. I put the spoon down on my tray and glare at Odd.

"No," I answer. "No, you cannot."

"But you already have the-" Odd starts to say, but Jeremy interrupts him.

"Odd, here," Jeremy pushes his chocolate pudding over to Odd. Shrugging, Odd stops talking and using his spoon, he starts eating his chocolate pudding.

"Odd is like a cow. He has more than one stomach," Ulrich jokes. Aelita and I giggle lightly at that.

Taking my spoon, I dip it into the chocolate pudding and take a bite out of it. I swallow the chocolate pudding down my throat.

Wow, I was right! It is good! I wonder where Rosa got this pudding? I think.

Odd stops eating his chocolate pudding and is about to retaliate but we hear someone screaming. I put my spoon down.

"Help me!"

Turning towards the entrance of the cafeteria, I see Milly in her bathrobe. She is panting and seems frightened.

"Tamiya came after me! She looked strange and her eyes were completely white and – they were horrible! She looked like Doctor Shrank!" Milly exclaims. Rosa goes over to Milly, to see what's going on.

"Who's Doctor Shrank?" Jeremy asks.

"A psycho TV brain surgeon in Hospital of Horrors," Odd explains.

"Sounds like Xana doesn't it?" Aelita asks.

Jeremy takes out his laptop. He opens it and waits for it to load. He starts typing on it.

"I'm launching the super scan," Jeremy informs us. I hear the program beginning to try and locate the tower. Looking at Milly, she has her hands on her cheeks.

Poor Milly, I think.

"Calm down, it'll be alright. You must have had a bad dream," Rosa says as she tries to comfort her. She puts her hands-on Milly's shoulders.

"No! I didn't! It was real!" Milly insists.

An alarm goes off from Jeremy's laptop.

"Activated tower," Jeremy confirms.

"Let's head for the factory," Odd suggests.

Taking out his phone, Ulrich flips the phone open. He starts dialing a number.

"I'll let Yumi know," he says. He puts the phone to his ear.

Glancing at Sissi, she sees me looking at her and turns away to mind her own business.

"Yumi, it's Ulrich. We have a problem. You-know-who is active," He informs her, trying to keep it on the down low. "Meet us at the factory." he finishes. Hanging up, he closes his phone and puts his phone back into his pocket.

Milly starts crying, looking at her we get up. Jeremy takes his laptop and puts it back in his bag.

"This is serious! Sissi go get your father," Rosa requests.

"We'll go with you," Ulrich says, his hands in his pockets.

Sissi smiles at Ulrich, and we walk up to her. She takes us to the entrance of the cafeteria and opens the doors. She walks out of the cafeteria first, followed by Ulrich, Aelita, Odd and then me. We see Jim outside. Looking at him, I can tell something seems off about him.

"Hey, Jim! There's a problem with Milly Solovieff," Sissi informs him. She walks up to Jim.

"Jim?" Sissi asks.

Jim turns around at the sound of her voice and my eyes widen. His skin has completely turned green and his eyes are white just like how Milly had described Tamiya.

"Oh my god… is he a, uh-" I stutter, unable to finish the sentence.

"Zombie? Yeah," Ulrich confirms as he grimaces.

Jim growls at Sissi and Sissi screams. She runs away, with zombified Jim slowly starting to follow her.

"Sissi, come back!" Ulrich calls before starting to chase after her.

"We'll meet up at the factory!" Ulrich shouts back at us and tries to catch up to Sissi.

Hearing growling, we see that zombified Jim had given up his chase after Sissi and Ulrich. Odd and I back up to Jeremy and Aelita.

"Over there!" Aelita exclaims, pointing to a horde of growling zombified students. We gasp in shock.

"About face everybody!" Odd exclaims.

Backing up to the door, Jim starts getting closer to us. Odd and I kick zombified Jim in the stomach for good measure, causing him to fall down. Aelita opens the doors and the four of us run inside the cafeteria. I quickly close the door behind me and make sure to lock it.

Inside the cafeteria

We get to where Rosa, Milly, the remaining students, William, Herb and Nicholas all are.

"Hey what's going on?" Rosa asks.

"Uh nothing, just surrounded by zombies ma'am," Odd explains.

"Zo-ombies?" Rosa stutters. Her eyes start going up and it looks like she's about to faint. A kid with dark skin, I think his name is Christophe M' Bala. If I'm not mistaken, I think he's the same kid that announced the DJs during Aelita's first mix. Christophe quickly grabs a seat and Rosa faints into it.

"Nice catch," I compliment. Christophe nods. He removes his headphones and places them around his neck. He's wearing an orange bandana-like-object in his hair, has a green hoodie and a yellow long-sleeved sweatshirt. He is also wearing gray pants.

We start hearing more growling coming our way. The zombified Kadic members start surrounding the cafeteria, I see zombified Tamiya by the door.

"You see? I wasn't dreaming!" Milly exclaims. The zombified Kadic members start clawing on the doors and windows. Their growls continue to grow louder. Then, they suddenly start to leave.

"I bet they'll be back with reinforcements," Herb surmises.

"The problem with the living dead is that you can't kill them, because they're already dead," Nicholas comments morbidly.

Looking at Rosa, I see she's just gotten back up but faints again onto the chair at Nicholas' words. Going to the table, I sit down. Jeremy, Aelita, and Odd are looking at Jeremy's laptop.

"Any news?" I ask.

Jeremy shakes his head. I look at William, he seems to be pacing around while on his phone.

"No, I'm not joking! Hello?!" William exclaims in frustration; his phone call seems to have ended. He redials a number, who I assume is the police. He continues pacing again.

"Zombies – that's right. Like in Out of the Tomb?" William references. Jeremy takes his laptop and places it in his bag once again. Getting up we look at Odd who crosses his arms.

"I hope Ulrich got away alright," Aelita frets.

"Don't worry, he's probably at the factory right now and we've got to join him ASAP," Odd says. He puts his hand on an emergency door that's in front of us. He then starts to pull down on the handle.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" William asks, catching us.

"Uh outside," Jeremy replies.

"No way, it's too dangerous," William decides.

"Listen, William-" I start to say but he interrupts me.

"No, you listen. I'm the oldest one here, and I'm making the decisions, and I say no one is going outside! I'm not going to lose anyone else!" William exclaims. Going over to us, he goes to Odd. He puts his hand on Odd's shoulder. Odd looks at William.

"William, this is our problem," Odd says.

"I don't want any of the zombies to get you! Don't you get that? What's more, if the zombies do come back, we need as many of us here as possible," William says before walking away to address everyone in the room.

"Anyone who tries to get out has to get past me first. Understand?" William asks. All of us look at William, he looks back at us.

"Great. William thinks he's Bruce Willis. That's just what we needed," Odd says, upset.

"Bruce who-the-what now?" I ask.

"He's a movie actor," Odd explains.

"Ah. Guess he has the same personality as William?" I conclude.

"Some of his characters do, yeah," he confirms.

"Look William, we don't have a lot of time on our hands. So, there's only one thing to do. We'll explain what's going on," Jeremy says, speaking up. William raises his eyebrow.

"Jeremy are you sure?" I ask.

Jeremy nods. The four of us walk up to William. Jeremy starts explaining the quick version of what's going on, William shakes his head in disbelief.

"A supercomputer that lets you go into a virtual universe where you have to battle an evil enemy called Xana?" William asks in disbelief.

Jeremy nods.

"Ah yes, when you put it that way I admit it sounds a little weird," Jeremy replies.

"If you want us to stop the zombie attack; Odd, Jeremy, Lila, and I must get to the factory right now," Aelita says, her arms crossed.

"Look I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. We all have to stay together," William says, he turns away from us and walks over to Nicholas and Herb.

"Okay plan B, I'll distract him and you, Lilia and Aelita take off," Odd says.

"Good idea," I confirm.

"Hey Jackie Chan, you think you're the boss of us?" Odd asks walking up to William. William turns to Odd.

"Yes, and I want to get us out of this unharmed," William answers.

Pulling the handle on the door, Jeremy is about to take a step outside when Herb spots us.

"Look, they're getting away!" Herb exclaims.

"Jeremy!" Aelita and I cry as William walks up to Jeremy. He takes Jeremy by the arms and pushes him to the ground. I run over to Jeremy and kneel down next to him. Looking at William, I glare at him.

"I'm sorry but it's for his own good. You'll thank me for it one day," William says.

Yeah right! Ugh, I wish I knew how future me would have handled this… I trail off in thought. William walks away from us. Helping Jeremy up, I fix his glasses for him.

"Thanks. He's so stubborn!" Jeremy says, annoyed.

I sigh in exasperation, "tell me about it."

Jeremy's phone starts ringing. He picks it up.

"Ulrich?" Jeremy asks. "No, we're still not there. William won't let us out. See if you can reach Yumi," Jeremy says, before hanging up.

Odd goes to the window and pulls the blinds up a bit, checking on our zombified Kadic members.

"They're coming from all sides," Odd informs us.

Hearing a wagging noise coming near us, we look around and see Kiwi has somehow gotten into the cafeteria.

"Hey look, there's Kiwi! He found me. See how smart he is?" Odd asks rhetorically.

Odd starts walking up to Kiwi.

"My little diggity dog," he says.

"Hey!" Milly exclaims, "that's the same dog we saw in the hallway just before Tamiya got zombified. Wait, Odd!"

Looking at Odd, Kiwi growls at him then bites his hand.

"Kiwi! What's wrong with you?" Odd asks.

Looking at Kiwi, his eyes flicker. Kiwi walks away and disappears, leaving in the same unexplainable way he came in.

He must have been possessed! I gotta restrain Odd and quickly! I think.

"Xana," Odd says. He places his hand on his head in pain.

"I got him!" I exclaim. Running to him, I grab Odd by his arm, trying to restrain by putting him into a headlock. I had learned the move only recently, during this time off we had from Xana. His skin starts turning green and his eyes are now white. He throws me off and onto a table.

"Lila!" Jeremy cries.

"Hurry up!" William exclaims.

William, Christophe and Nicholas surround Odd. William lunges forwards, attracting zombie Odd's full attention. Christophe and Nicholas use the opening to grab an arm each. Together, they wrestle him to the floor while William pins him down.

Jeremy runs to me and offers his hand.

"Thanks… ugh, that was rough," I complain, and I take his hand.

Afterwards

Odd's tied up against a chair with chains that Christophe and Nicholas found. Using a napkin, they cover Odd's mouth.

"So you're saying Kiwi is possessed by this – this Xana?" William asks.

"Right but now, thanks to you, Kiwi is somewhere nearby waiting to bite us. What's more, we're surrounded by an army of the living dead. If you had let us go before, we wouldn't be in this mess," Jeremy replies angrily.

William takes Jeremy by his turtleneck, "listen, if you have gone out you would be a zombie by now! Idiot! I'm getting tired of listening to you go on about your factory and your stupid supercomputer!" he exclaims.

"William, let Jeremy go!" I demand.

"Or what Smith? Don't you get that I'm just trying to-" William starts to say but an ominous growling cuts him off. I look at the window and I see zombified Jim, Tamiya, and Emily at the doors.

They suddenly start turning around and head in a different direction. Sissi comes up and starts pounding on the door.

"I'm not one of them! Let me in!" Sissi exclaims.

"She's lying," Herb says. I sigh internally.

That's clearly Sissi… what is Herb thinking? I think.

"Help!" Sissi cries.

"Prove it!" Herb shouts, walking up to the door.

"I have a subscription to pretty girls magazine and I still sleep with my stuffed moose," Sissi says.

"That has nothing to do with this!" Herb exclaims, "that just proves you're lame."

Upon hearing the growling get louder and thus closer, I yell at Herb, "Herb, just open the door! It's her!"

"How can you be sure?" Herb asks, looking at me.

"You heard what she said! You open this door right now, you bunch of pee brain dorks!" Sissi demands.

"Okay, that's Sissi alright!" Nicholas says. Herb opens the door and Sissi runs in screaming. Zombified Jim comes in right behind her and starts moving towards us. Milly screams. Nicholas quickly picks up a chair and jumps into his path. With a mighty cry, he crashes it into zombie Jim's head.

"Come on! It's now or never!" Jeremy exclaims as he starts making his way to the other entrance.

Aelita follows close behind him but I pause when I see zombified Jim grab William. He throws him outside. There's nothing I can do for him, so I start running to the door after Aelita.

Afterwards

In the woods

Reaching the woods, we continue running from the zombies.

Suddenly, Yumi appears and round kicks a zombie who is about to try and block our path. As she pauses to also take out a zombified nurse Yolanda we close the gap to her position.

"Hurry up! Let's get back to the factory!" Yumi shouts, kicking a third zombie hard enough to send them flying backward. The zombified student hits the group closest to us and manages to slow our pursuers a little.

We finally we catch up to Yumi and Aelita runs past her, Jeremy closely following Aelita while I'm right behind them. Yumi stays hot on our heels.

Inside the lab

The freight elevator doors open, and Jeremy walks into the lab.

"Get into the scanners, I'll start the virtualization process," he instructs us.

"Right," I say.

Inside the scanner room

"Okay ladies. Get ready to roll," Jeremy's voice says through the speakers.

Aelita takes the middle scanner, I take the one on the left and Yumi takes the one on the right.

We step into the scanners and simultaneously the doors close. I close my eyes.

"Transfer: Yumi. Transfer: Aelita. Transfer: Lila."

The scanners start spinning.

"Scanner: Yumi. Scanner: Aelita. Scanner: Lila."

The scanner continues to spin and starts humming. I wait for the bright light and wind to engulf me.

"Virtualization!"

The wind and light hit me, billowing my hair and time machine necklace. I'm virtualized to Lyoko.

Lyoko's Desert Sector

Opening my eyes, my vision returns and I'm falling in the Desert Sector. Aelita, Yumi, and I land safely.

"Here's your Overwing and broomstick," Jeremy informs us. The vehicles materialize. Getting up Yumi, Aelita and I look at each other.

"Wow, you're getting better Jeremy," Yumi compliments. "Soon we'll be landing right on top of them."

Yumi runs onto her Overwing and Aelita gets on with her. I run to my broomstick. I kick my broomstick into the air and take off as Yumi does too.

"Okay, remember guys, watch out for any nasty surprises. Lila I've been thinking, seeing as you're not a witch anymore, I should probably make you a new vehicle that would be more comfortable for you. Could take a while though."

"Thanks, Jeremy. Yeah, I'd like that. Whenever you can," I say and continue flying into the air with Yumi and Aelita. Traveling over the plateaus we locate the activated tower.

"Activated tower in sight," Yumi informs Jeremy. Flying upward, we circle in closer to the tower.

"Krabs also in sight," Aelita says, spying Xana's creations.

"Xana played his cards right. He's learned to bring you onto Lyoko, Aelita, but with few bodyguards as possible. That's why Kiwi bit Odd but not you, me or Lila. Be careful."

Circling the tower, I get an idea, "I'm going to create a distraction and try to take one of them out okay?"

"What are you going to-" Aelita starts to ask but before she can finish I stand up on my broomstick. Quickly, I get out my hunter's knife from its sleeve. Focusing my powers, I let them flow through me. My lightning bolt glows, and electricity is poured into the hunter's knife.

I take a deep breath before I jump off my broomstick. As I fall the hunter's knife reaches fully charge. My feet hit the head of the Krab first, but I use the rest of the momentum to drive my knife into the Xana target eye.

A blast of electricity shocks the beast and, as it collapses beneath me, I look up to see that I now have the attention of the other two Krabs.

Jumping off the Krab I just took down I race forwards as the other two Krabs start to shoot at me. I manage to duck behind a rock just in time. I put my hunter's knife back into its sleeve, and the lightning bolt stops glowing. I hear the sound of Yumi's Overwing and duck my head out from behind the rock to get a brief look.

I am just in time to see both Krabs hit her.

"Yumi!" I cry in warning, but I'm much too late. She devirtualizes.

Looking upwards, I see Aelita is barely able to take control of the Overwing just in time before she, and it, fall. She starts circling the tower with Yumi's Overwing. She is desperately dodging the Krab's lasers. Looking up at Aelita, they continue firing at her, hitting the tower each time they miss. They give me a clear view of their target eye.

I've got to do something! I think. I strain to think of a way to take out both Krabs when suddenly I remember my bow. I take my bow off its hook. I grab one arrow from the quiver. Looking at the bow, and arrows, I know now why these weapons seemed different from the start. They're made out of metal, specifically silver.

I put the arrow on the bow, and I line it up. I pull back the drawstring, I stand and take a step out from behind my rock. Focusing my powers, I let them flow through me and wait for the glow. The lightning bolt glows and I desperately start pumping electricity into the arrow.

Aelita spots me and, as I prepare to lunch my now sparking arrow.

I let my arrow fly.

I watch in anticipation as the arrow arches through the air. In the next moment, it hits one of the Krab's target eye. The Krab explodes as the arrow then releases the electricity, temporarily shocking the remaining Krab.

Taking this opportunity, I grab another arrow from my quiver. I put the arrow on the bow, pull the drawstring and release. The arrow flies at the Krab as it is still being shocked by the electricity, and the arrow hits the target eye. The Krab explodes.

Aelita dives down on the ground with the Overwing. Reaching the ground, she gets off the Overwing. She slowly walks into it, and enters the tower's 'doorway'.

Looking up, I update our friends, "Jeremy, Yumi, Aelita's entered the tower."

There's no response from Jeremy.

Putting my bow back on its hook I ask, "Yumi, are you there?"

There's no response from Yumi either. I start to hear growling coming from the headset.

"Oh no…" I trail off, watching as the tower turns blue.

"Aelita… Lila… Return to the Past, now!" zombified Jeremy exclaims. He struggles to initiate the return trip. A big white bubble engulfs us all, sending us back in time.

Earlier that day

After the Italian test

By the arches

Opening my eyes, I realize I'm back under the arches with the others.

"You see, I didn't even get that," Jeremy says to Yumi, referring to not understanding what Odd had just said in Italian.

Looking at Sissi, she's walking away from Milly and Tamiya.

"Sissi, what do you think about your father's decision to set up a language exchange program with France? Our readers want to know," Milly says, holding her pen and pad ready for a quote. Sissi turns to Milly and Tamiya.

"My dear Milly, your paper doesn't have any readers and anyways, I don't need the whole school knowing what I think! Understand?" Sissi asks and walks away from them. Herb and Nicholas look at her.

"Coming?" Sissi asks.

Herb and Nicholas walk up to Sissi and follow her. We walk over to Milly and Tamiya.

"Ooh, I hate her!" Milly exclaims, stomping her foot.

Ulrich puts his hand on Milly's shoulder, "it's true that she's a pain but you know deep down, I think she really likes you." He releases his grip on her shoulder.

"And I think she can be very brave and a very nice person when she wants to be," Aelita adds, looking at Sissi who is walking to the cafeteria.

"Yeah. She just has trouble showing it," I say.

Milly and Tamiya look at us, shocked by our words.

"What?" Milly asks, completely baffled.

William passes by the cafeteria, I look at him.

William on the other hand… ugh, he's such a pain, I think.

"You can never guess a person's true colors, can you?" Jeremy asks.

A round of nods and agreeing smiles meet his statement.

Sissi really can be a kind person. I hope all of us get to see more of her nicer side soon, I think.

Author's Note: Things are a little different in this chapter and because Lila wasn't handicapped with a cane, Rosa didn't prepare the same food for her. Cameron will be mentioned a few times throughout this second half of season 2 but won't actually return. Lila mentioned that it was the end of March in the first timeline because she was in the hospital for more than a few weeks, and during that time Xana did not attack. Xana attacked sooner this time, so this attack happens on March 10th.

Finally, on one last note, a poll has been created to determine the fate of The Adventures of Lila Belpois. Lately, things have been getting busy so I think I am going to discontinue the filler arc. However, if you vote that you don't want me to discontinue the filler arc, and let it end on Ghost Channel (with the story being written in past tense) then I will eventually update the filler arc. If that happens, please point out any continuity errors occur during the filler arc. I feel this is important to say, so I've decided if the filler arc continues, that there will most likely be no diary entries at all during the filler arc to avoid continuity errors. The poll will be opened for quite a while so don't forget to visit my profile, it would really help.

Update: A mistake concerning Lila kicking the broomstick in the ground, instead of into the air has been fixed. A mistake with Lila's lightning bolt power has also been fixed.

As always don't forget to review!
