Welp got a new chapter out really fast. I think this is the quickest I have ever wrote a chapter. Tell me if its still good or if it seems like the quality decreased. I rather get out a better chapter then more chapters.
Josh woke up to his alarm going off. He sat up and stretched getting ready for the day before heading to his computer. "Father are you there?" He said bring up the connection to the super computer. "Yes. But I am very busy. I am preparing to activate a tower. The supercomputer's nuclear battery is failing a lot quicker then I predicted. I have try and steal the replacement today otherwise the computer will shut down for good." Xana said. "That's not good! Not only would it not allow you to do anything else but also it would kill Aelita preventing us from ever getting the keys." Josh said. "Yes. It also means that you might start to destabilize as you may seem totally human but its only energy from the supercomputer keeping your form stable. You might be able to absorb power from somewhere. In the meantime try not to let them see you. " Xana replied. "Not head to class. I will get this done." He added.
After their conversation Xana launched his attack. He activated a tower in the ice sector and used two Tarantulas to guard it. Out along a rural road a spector came out of an electric fence. Moments later a police van drove past. In the cab of the van there were two police officers. "HQ Transfer calling Car Alpha." The radio in the van sounded. "Car Alpha, go ahead." The one officer replied. "In three miles, you'll meet up with Escort 2 as planned." HQ said on the other end of the radio connection. "Copy that." The officer said before looking back into the back of the van, "You happy to be going home, huh, Duncan?" He asked. "I don't talk to cops, so save your breath." Duncan said restrained in the back of the transport van. "Typical! That's what you get trying to be nice." The officer said looking at his partner. In the back of the van the spector can out of the light in the top of the van and attacks Duncan entering him. He cried out as it did so. The officer looked back to see him slumped over. "Duncan. Hey! What's going on? W-what's up? Pull over. He's had some kind of attack!" He said. The other officer stopped the van and called into HQ. "Car Alpha to HQ Transfer." She said. "Go ahead, Car Alpha." HQ replied. The first officer having gotten out to check on Duncan opening the back doors. "Duncan! Hey, you ok? What's going on here?!" He asked. Just then Duncan broke the handcuffs on him. The officer jumped back a bit before Duncan shot electricity at him and escaped.
Shortly after Ulrich, Yumi and Odd were at the vending machine talking. "Peter Duncan escaped from the police transport van without any outside help?!" Ulrich said. "Yeah, that's what they said on the radio." Yumi replied, drinking the drink she had just bought from the vending machine. "You know, ever since David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear, nothing surprises me anymore! Heh." Odd said laughing a bit. "What bothers me is that the two police officers who were guarding him talked about a 'supernatural force.'" Yumi said worrying about Xana. "You think Xana is involved?" Ulrich said sitting down off to the side. "Not a chance." Jeremy said as he walked up to them with Aelita close behind. "The Superscanner doesn't show any activated tower. I just checked." He added. "I hope you're right! Imagine, public enemy number one under Xanas control. Talk about double trouble!" Yumi stated worry still in her voice. "A public enemy? What did this Duncan guy do?" Odd asked, having no idea. "Oh, nothing much. Fine art theft, safecracking, kidnapping, bank robberies…" Jeremy said counting on his fingers. Aelita gasped slightly, putting her hand to her head and dropping her bag. "You okay Aelita?" Yumi asked. "Yes, um…I just…didn't sleep very well last night." Aelita said, picking up her bag as the bell rang for classes. "Don't forget, we have a maths test! You going to be alright?" Jeremy said, reminding her slightly worried about her. "No problem." Aelita replied.
During this time Duncan was approaching a nuclear power plant.
In class, Ms. Meyer was handing out the math exams. "As you all know, the exam covers the principles of division. I hope you've studied hard." She said. Odd looked at Ulrich and whispered, "Hey, Ulrich, what's the last digit of a number divisible by two, huh?". "Zero" Ms. Meyer said annoyed with Odd's cheating. "Oh, yeah, that's the answer. Well done, Ma'am!" Odd said looking at her. "No that's the grade your going to get if you keep trying to cheat." She replied. "Ooh." Odd said going back to trying to do the exam.
Josh was sitting across from Jeremy. He looked over towards him now and then worried about what was happening with Aelita who was next to Jeremy. After a short while Jeremy had put down his pencil and leaned back a bit. "Well, Jeremie. Is there a problem?" Ms. Meyer asked. "I've finished. Ma'am" Jeremy replied smiling. She picked up his paper and looked it over. "see! Good work! Excellent, in fact, Jeremie!" She said. Jeremy smiled causing the rest of the class to mutter to themselves. Josh raised his hand having finished also. "Josh, do you need something?" She asked. "I finished too." he replied.
In the forest near the nuclear planet Duncan held his head struggling to stay standing as if in pain before falling to his knees.
Back in the classroom Aelita began to breathe heavier and sound as if in distress. "Aelita? Are you okay?" Jeremy asked quietly as she held a hand to her head.
In the forest Duncan continued to struggle, his eyes wide open, the eye of Xana disappearing from them leaving them completely white before he collapsed unconscious.
Back in the classroom Aelita had fallen from her chair unconscious. "Aelita?!" Jeremy said worried. Ulrich and MS. Meyer moved in closer to get a look at her while the rest of the class chattered sounding worried, many gasping Aelita's name in shock. Josh looked worried and started to feel weak, his vision starting to get slightly fuzzy. He grabbed on to his phone and tried to absorb energy from it, his vision beginning to clear back up.
Moments later Aelita was put into an ambulance, that then rushed its way to the hospital. When they got to the hospital they took the stretcher with Aeltia out. "Ok, what have we got?" A doctor asked. "Adolescent, twelve years old. Unconscious. Very weak pulse. Irregular heartbeat." One of the ambulance people told him. "Put her in Bay 1" the doctor said. Jeremy walked alongside her until they reached a door that was marked for personnel and patient access only were he stopped.
In the hospital room where Aeltia was wheeled to a doctor watched the heart beat monitor as it was dropping to very low levels. "She's gone into fibrillation!" He said. Another doctor began preparing an injection. "Ten mils of adrenaline" He said getting it out of a vial. The first doctor looked back up at the monitor. "Her heart is failing." He said, going to get the defibrillator from across the room. The second doctor gave her the injection into her IV. They moved the sheet covering her chest on the bed. "Clear" the second doctor said using the defibrillator on her. Her body arched from the shock and she flatlined. The monitor having a continuous beep. "Nothing… Clear!" the doctor said, trying another shock. The monitor remained the same, both doctors looking at each other in shock. Moments later her heart began to beat again. "That kid's got a real guardian angel, that's for sure." The one doctor said.
Meanwhile in the forest Duncan opened his eyes revealing the sign of Xana in them again and got up.
Back at the hospital, Odd, Yumi,Ulrich and Jeremy sat waiting for news about Aelita's condition. One of the doctors walked over to them. "So, how is she?" Jeremy asked him. "She's fine, don't worry." the doctor replied causing the whole gang to smile. "She'll be alright, but it's an extraordinary case!" the doctor added. "Can we see her?" Yumi asked. "I don't see why not. But not too much noise, she needs to rest." the doctor replied.
In Aelita's hospital room the gang gathered around. "How were your test results?" Yumi asked. "Completely normal" Aelita replied. "Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that you're not really human" Ulrich said thinking a bit. "It could be the virus Xana implanted in me."' Aelita said. "Did you find anything Jeremy?" Yumi asked, having seen Jeremy open his laptop and start the superscan. "Dead calm, as far as XANA's concerned. No activated towers. Although the Superscan seems to have reset itself, it's not giving the right results!" Jeremy replied a bit confused. "Kind of like me! I guess it didn't study either" Odd said, making a small joke. "No class this afternoon. I'm going to pay a visit to the factory and check it out." Jeremy said, closing up his laptop. "We'll go with you." Ulrich said motioning to Odd. "I'll stay here. We can have a girl-to-girl talk for once" Yumi said, making Aelita smile.
Along a road in the power plant a green van marked with a radiation symbol drove by. Duncan walked out in front of it after it turned a corner facing the van. "What the…?! This guy's crazy!" The drive said to himself stomping on the breaks. The van continued hitting Duncan who began like static allowing the van to pass over him. Once behind the van Duncan reached his hand out and began to crack the security code on it. Eventually the door accepted the code and opened relieving two armed guards. "Don't move." One said while the other instructed Duncan to put his hands in the air. Duncan evilly laughed a bit before raising his hands, shocking the two and tossing them from the truck. He then stole one of the nuclear cores from the back and left. The driver saw the two guards getting tossed from the truck and slowly made his way to the back. "Hands up!' he yelled before seeing the empty whole where the nuclear core was stolen from.
After class Josh had decided he should go and check on Aelita. He wasn't just worried about her because Xana needed her, he was worried for some other reason but he couldn't figure out why exactly. He began making his way to the hospital.
In the lab Jeremy,Odd and Ulrich were near the terminal. "That's exactly what I was afraid of." Jeremy said typing. "What?" Ulrich asked. "The superscan bugged up! I'll find out why in a minuete." Jeremy replied. "The real question is, can you fix it?" Odd said "Well, normally, yeah. But the debugging phase takes time. I don't know if it's a minor bug or something more serious which might-" Jeremy said before getting cut off by Odd. "Ok,Ok" Odd said before walking towards the elevator. "If Xana's activated a tower, we'll find it much faster by going directly to Lyoko. You coming Ulrich?" Odd asked. "Yea." Urlich said following Odd. "Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer, Odd! Scanner Ulrich! Scanner Odd! Virtualisation!" Jeremy said virtualizing the two before going back to debugging the superscan.
The two virtualized into the Ice Sector. "All clear here. We will have to search the whole sector." Ulrich said. "Don't panic. I'm calling up your vehicles." Jeremy stated before the Overbike and Overboard appeared. Odd and Ulrich jumped on them and took off. "Jeremy! How's it going with the superscan?" Odd asked a few moments later. "Not so good." Jeremy said looking at his screen the superscan flicking over multiple towers at a time. "Well anyways, you might as well forget it, we found it." Odd said as they approached the tower. "Activated tower, dead ahead." Ulrich said. "Right. I've got it! Twenty-five degrees north-northeast! Nice job, you guys!" Jeremy said locializing the tower. "Now all we've gotta do is bring Aelita here to deactivate it." Ulrich said.
Meanwhile Josh had made it to the hospital. "Can I see Aelita Stones? I am a classmate of her's and I am very worried about her." Josh asked a nurse at a desk you directed him to her room. As he walked in Yumi and Aelita both turned to look who had entered. "What are you doing her." Yumi asked him, standing up between him and Aelita. "Did I do something wrong? I was worried about Aelita. I saw her collapse in class today." Josh replied not technically lying. "Well she's fine. Now leave." Yumi said. "Yumi… he's fine." Aeltia said, looking at him seeing that he really did look worried. "Fine.." Yumi said sitting down.
Back in the lab Jeremy told Ulrich and Odd that he was bringing them in, then the sudden the holoprojector system turned off. "Oh, that's great! Now what's up?!" Jeremy said looking over at it before the whole console turned off. "Oh, no! Can you hear me? Hey! Ulrich! Odd!" Jeremy said, worried slightly freaking out.
On Lyoko, Odd and Ulrich were still waiting to be devirtualized. "Er, Jeremy, not that we're in a rush, but uh… Jeremie? Taking your time there…" Ulrich said, getting worried. "Jeremy?!" Urlich asked, surprised he didn't answer. "Hm! Must've forgotten to pay his phone bill!" Odd said joking around.
In Aelita's hospital room Yumi was talking with Aelita again while Josh sort of just sat watching. Then suddenly Aelita gasped and went unconscious. Her heart monitor began to let out a constant beep as her heart stopped again. Josh jumped up a bit, "Aelita!" he gasped before he felt weak again and his hands started to look staticy as he was de-stabilizing. Thankfully, Yumi was preoccupied with being worried about Aelita to notice.. "Oh, no! I don't believe it! Get a doctor, quickly!" Yumi yelled freaking out a bit.
In the forest Duncan was slowly walking holding the stolen nuclear core when his eyes suddenly widened and the eye of Xana disappeared again. He slowly collapsed to the floor and the core rolled away slightly.
Jeremy ran to the elevator. "What's wrong with this darn supercomputer?!" He said to himself as he took it down the room containing it. As the elevator opened the supercomputer rose out of the floor.
On Lyoko, Odd and Urlich were still waiting. "Uh, Jeremie? Are you gonna bring us in or not?!" Odd yelled into the air. Urlich took out his saber. "We'll have to manage without him. Get ready!" Urlich said getting ready to slice Odd. "One…two…three!" Odd said taking aim at Ulrich before he fired three laser arrows at him and Urlich sliced him with his saber. They both gasped in pain. "That shouldn't have hurted so much. The scanners must be offline. What is going on around here, anyway?!" Urlich said, putting his saber away. "I have no idea! But we've got a real problem." Odd replied. "That's the understatement of the year." Urlich said.
In the super computer room Jeremy walked up to it and noticed that it was turned off. He grabbed on to the power switch and turned it off and back on. The super computer glowed slightly and made a very weak sound but did not start up. "Ugh…! This is really bad!" Jeremy said, trying over and over.
On Lyoko the ice sector was slowly disappearing. "Huh?! What is that?!" Ulrich said, noticing the land disappearing. "How about…a…gigantic, invisible eraser?!" Odd said jumping back a bit. "Let's get out of here," Ulirch said, jumping on the Overbike. Odd got onto the Overboard and they both began to fly away from when the sector was disappearing. "Jeremy! Do something fast, huh! Before it's too late!" Ulrich yelled as the disappearing area was closing in on them.
Jeremy continued to try and restart the super computer. "Come on! Start up, will you?!" He yelled nervously.
"Jeremy, can you hear us?! We have a big bug here!" Odd yelled looking over seeing the Overbike disappearing under Ulrich. Urlich began to fall heading directly towards the digital sea. "HELP!" Urlich screamed as he fell. Thankfully Odd quickly caught him with he overboard before it too began to disappear leaving both boys falling.
At the hospital Aeltia was still flatlining as doctors tried their best to get her heart started. Josh was having a harder and harder time keeping his form stable, the staticy look starting to creep up his arms. He was staring at Aelita, a very worried expression on his face. Yumi happened to look over and notice his face and also his hand.
Jeremy finally managed to get the super computer to restart the gold areas starting to have their normal glow. "Finally." Jeremy said in relief.
As Urlich and Odd neared the digital sea the platform under them reformed just in time. "Looks like Lyoko's recharged its batteries!" Urlich said, noticing the sector reappearing.
At the hospital Aelita's heart started back up to the amazement of the doctors. "In all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've ever seen that." the one said in awe. Aelita slowly opened her eyes.
In the forest Duncan opened his eye, he sat up and coughed before picking up the core and continuing to the factory.
In the supercomputer room Jeremy stepped away a bit. "Hey! We're doing ok." he said before hearing a quiet beeping. "What's that?" he said before noticing a battery charge display showing only one blinking line. "Oh, no! The nuclear battery is going dead!" Jeremy said in shock.
He then headed back up to the lab and devirtualize Odd and Ulrich before heading to the hospital with them.
At the hospital Yumi confronted Josh. "So you are the one Xana sent.." She said. "What? Who's Xana?" Josh said trying to play dumb. "You can't fool me. I saw your hands and arms going staticy like a spector." Yumi said pointing right at his face. "FIne… You know what I am.. But does it really matter right now. I am worried about her." Josh sighed, annoyed that they managed to find out. "You're just worried because you and Xana need her memory." Yumi said, looking mad. "That's not the only reason I am worried." Josh countered. "Then why?" Yumi asked. "I don't know I just am..." Josh said, going quiet as he heard Odd, Ulrich and Jeremy knock on the door. "Yumi, come out here. We need to talk." Jeremy said. Yumi walked out and Josh followed behind.
"Josh we only want to talk to Yumi." Jeremy said not wanting to possibly tell him anything if he wasn't the person Xana sent. "Jeremy, wait." Josh said. "Yumi already figured it out so I might as well just tell you. I am the one Xana devirtualized." He said. "I know it!" Ulrich said. "Anyways, The uranium in the nuclear battery is almost up, so the Supercomputer keeps failing and pretty soon, it'll turn off altogether." Jeremy said. "Oh! Is that all? Then we just have to change the battery!" Odd said. "Xana's way ahead of you Odd." Josh said, smiling a bit. "What do you mean?" Jeremy asked. "The activated tower. Xana's stealing a new one." Josh said. "We have known it was going dead since you made the Marabunta" he added. "That's great. It means Aeltia will be fine." Yumi said, smiling. "I have to take a call." Josh said, stepping away as his phone was ringing.
Josh answered his phone. "Josh, You need to get Jeremy to the lab. I can't replace the battery myself and if you try I fear the radiation might destroy you totally in your weakened state." Xana said to him. "Okay. This will be easy. I am at the hospital where Aelita is." Josh repleid. "Why are you there?" Xana asked. "I was worried about Aelita." Josh stated. "You shouldn't worry about the enemy. They haven't found you out have they?" Xana asked. "Yumi saw my hands and arms destabilizing during the last shutdown.. They know who I am." Josh stated. "Damnit." Xana cursed. "You're not going to be much use if they know who you are. Just get him to the lab now" He added.
Josh walked up to Jeremy. "Xana needs you at the factory now to replace the battery. Also just because you know who I am doesn't mean I am not going to keep helping my father." Josh said.
Jeremy nodded a bit before he met up with Ulrich, odd and Yum in Aelita's room. "I have to go to the factory now. Get Aelita to the factory as soon as you can." Jeremy said before leaving. Ulrich ,Odd and Yumi helped Aelita out of bed before they went out the windows.
Josh walked to the factory having to be ready to stop the warriors from deactivating the tower.
At the factory Jeremy went down to the supercomputer room where Duncan was waiting with the new core. He put on a radiation suit and turned off the supercomputer and slowly began to remove the old core then insert the new one after taking off the radiation suit he turned the supercomputer back on and ran for the elevator. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME" Duncan yelled running towards him. Thankfully, the elevator door closed just before Duncan got to it.
Josh had got to the factory just after Jeremy his body slowly getting staticy while Jeremy had the computer off to replace the battery. Josh went to the lab thru the access in the factory boiler room and waited for the system to come back online. As soon as it bit Josh stated a delayed virtualization and headed down to the scanners thru the access portal in the lab. Thankfully the others had not arrived yet. He stepped into a scanner and was virtualized a short distance from the tower.
A few moments later the Odd,Urlich,Yumi and Aelita arrived and headed down to the scanner room. "You guys there? Tell me you're there." Jeremy asked, taking a seat at the computer. "You're there." Odd said joking around. "Were in the scanner room." Yumi said. "Launch the procedure for Yumi, Aelita and me." Odd said. "But where's Ulrich?" Jeremy asked.. Just then the elevator doors opened. "Here I am! You didn't think we'd let you have all the fun with Peter Duncan, did you?" Ulrich said walking over to him. Jeremy looked up over the top of the monitors before beginning the virtualization process. "Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Aelita! Transfer, Yumi! Virtualisation!" He said typing virtualizing the three near the tower. "Watch out for Josh, he managed to virtualize himself shortly after I reactivated the supercomputer." Jremy said.
On Lyoko Josh waited for them holding his sword over his shoulder. As soon as they virtualized, Josh ran towards them. "I won't let you access the tower." Josh said before looking away from them and asking Xana to summon some Kankralots to assistance. "Really need reinforcements already?" Odd asked sort of taunting Josh. "I will get you for that." Josh said running at him. Odd aimed directly at Josh and shot a few laser arrows that hit right into him. Josh grunted a bit when each one hit but managed to continue at Odd and hit him once. "Odd he's down to 20 Life Points" Jeremy said, able to see Josh's card on the screen.
Before Odd had the chance to shoot at Josh again the Kankralots finally arrived and began to fire at Odd, Yumi and Aelita. One of them managed to hit Yumi in the chest as she was getting ready to fight them. "Yumi you're down to 10 life points ,get a move on it." Jeremy said. "I am bringing up your vehicles. " He added.
Just after he said this, Duncan began to phase through the elevator door in the lab. Jeremy looked over at Duncan then to Urlich. "Think you handle him?" Jeremy asked. "I love entertaining guests!" Ulrich said, answering Jeremy as he walked towards Duncan.
Back on Lyoko, Aelita ,Odd and Yumi rushed towards the tower on the Overwing and Overboard. Josh was running behind them losing ground because he could not run as fast as the vehicles. In anger he threw his sword towards them and hit the Overboard causing it to de-virtualize dropping Odd to the ground. "Like I said your not deactivating the tower." Josh said. "Well then you should have aimed at Yumi and Aelita." Odd said getting up. Yumi and Aelita continued to the tower.
In the lab Duncan was beating up Urlich before knocking him to the ground. "Ulrich!" Jeremy said turning towards him. Duncan tossed Ulrich to the side before turning to Jeremy. "Now its your turn." he said approaching Jeremy. Jeremy got out of his chair and started to back away from him.
On Lyoko, Aelita and Yumi had made it to the tower only to be greeted by a Tarantula. "Aelita It's time to pull out all the stops" Yumi said just before the Tarantula devirtualized her. Unfortunately, Odd was still far away dealing with Josh. Aelita reached out and used her creativity to remove the sector from under the Tarantula making it fall into the digital sea below. She then jumped over the hole and went into the tower deactivating it.
Odd and Josh continued to fight before Josh managed to hit Odd again causing him to devirtualize but not before Odd shot Josh also devirtualizing him.
In the Lab Duncan fell to the floor unconscious as the tower was deactivated.
In the scanner room Yumi and Odd were keeping an eye on Josh who had been devirtualized. "Father is not going to be happy." Josh mumbled to himself.
A few moments later Aelita came out of a scanner after Jeremy devirtualized her using Code Earth. "Jeremy wants everyone up in the lab. Including you Josh." Aelita said, sighing a bit.
Everyone gathered in the lab in silence. "So what are you going to do now that you know who I am…" Josh asked nervously. "We will definitely be keeping an eye on you. And don't expect us to let you get here easily." Jeremy said. "And we will do anything we have to, to protect Aelita from stealing her memory." He added. Ulrich looked like he wanted to punch someone, staring at Josh. Josh sighed, "This is not going to go well.." He mumbled to himself. "I have to get going..." Josh said, trying to leave. "Go but stay away from us from now on." Ulrich said, threatening him.
After Josh had left the rest of the group continued to talk. "So now that we know who he is we can stop him from getting to lyoko." Odd said smiling a bit. "Yea. But we will have to be careful. He can still cause us a lot of trouble even if he's not on lyoko." Jeremy said. "Lets go before curfew starts.." Aeita said, both her and Yumi not remembering to mention how Josh looked like he was actually worried about Aelita.
Josh sat down at his computer and connected to the supercomputer. "Father?" He asked. "What do you want." Xana said, sounding mad. "I wanted to check in with you." Josh replied. "You're going to have to prove your worth now that they know who you are." Xana growled. "Otherwise you are useless to me." He added. "Yes Father." Josh said, sighing. "I will be launching my next attack in a week's time." Xana stated. "You better be ready. Your performance on Lyoko was pitiful." He added.
Welp that's all for now. And I guess the cats out of the bag. They know who Josh is and Xana seems very mad about it.
