Chapter 6: The dance
--
I then pushed a button on my ear.
"Can you hear me odd?" I asked.
"Yea, loud and clear." Odd said. He was in the back of the DJ table
"Ok, now for phase one." I said.
While Odd and I were talking, Aelita had just finished her DJ'ing and walked over to Jeremy. It looked like Aelita and Jeremy was going to the dance floor and Ulrich and Yumi were still dancing.
'Perfect.' I thought and I pushed a button on my PDA, which stopped the song and replaced it with a slow song. I saw Jeremy shaking and looking nervous.
"Hey odd? Maybe we should give Jeremy a hand." I said.
"Good idea, but how are you going to do that?" Odd said.
"Watch. Is it ok if I use you?" I said and I got out a joystick.
"Sure, but what for?" A hologram that looked like Odd and a girl from my old school then appeared out of sight of Jeremy and Aelita. Then I controlled it to walk over to Jeremy. I then changed my microphone channel so that it sounded like the hologram was talking.
"Jeremy, like this." I said and the hologram mouthed the words and the hologram sounded like odd. The hologram then put his hands on the girl's waist.
Gulp. Jeremy said and then did. He didn't look nervous anymore and was having a good time dancing with Aelita, so I made the hologram disappear when it was out of eyesight.
"Neat trick." Odd said.
"Thanks." I replied.
"Uh, Oh, sissy's approaching Ulrich." Odd said. I then looked in Ulrich's direction. Odd was right.
"I anticipated this. I have another trick up my sleeve. Initiating phase 2." I said. Then I controlled all the camera's to point in that direction.
"Hi Ulrich dear." Sissy said.
"Can't you see I'm busy Sissy?" Ulrich said. He didn't try to be rude because he was having a good time and didn't want to spoil the moment.
"Will you dance with me?" Sissy asked.
"No, I'm dancing with Yumi." Ulrich said back.
"If you don't I'll tell everyone what is in your diary that I stole from your room." Sissy blackmailed.
At this point, I had gotten the blackmail on tape and my ceiling robot in position. My screen then read, "Target acquired" with a target symbol on Sissy's head. Then I pushed the center button, and slime came out of the nozzle. It had landed on sissy's head.
"DIRRECT HIT!" Odd said laughing. Then I stopped the music.
"EWWWW!" Sissy said.
Everyone had heard the scream because the music was off. The slime had been pouring on her head and she was grossed out. When she looked up, all she could see was something that looked like a pipe sticking out of the wall with a hole in it. I had disguised it before the dance. Then sissy stormed out the gym. The rest of the Dance had been good, and I had all the footage recorded. After the dance, Odd gave me back my stuff, I cleaned up my equipment, and locked it in my room. Then, an unsuspected surprise happened.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Oh, no! I better get to the factory." I said.

Since Jeremy had left his laptop in his room, he didn't know there was an activated tower for 20 minutes. 10 minutes BEFORE HIS super scan sensed the tower, I had already been on Lyoko. My super scan had alerted me 10 minutes before I got to lyoko, so my super scan was ahead of his by 20 minutes.
"You guys, there's an activated tower!" Jeremy said on his phone.
"We know, an uncontrollable fire erupted in the science building. It 'seems' to follow people." Ulrich said.
"Come on, let's get to the factory." Jeremy said, hung up, met his friends at the manhole cover, and made their way to the factory.
--
"Dang! I didn't know they hit you when you're being virtualized. Oh well." I said. The activated tower was in front of me along with 5tarantulas and 3 crabs, which stood in my way.
"Guess XANA got the message." I said. I ran in the middle of them. I hit all three crabs with ice shards. I then slid in between the 2 tarantulas and they accidentally killed each other. The last one was still there. I then froze it.
"Too bad they are still no match." I said. I then deactivated the tower and devirtualised myself. When I heard the elevator coming, I decided to through the back way.
--
"Ok, guys, we'll do the normal proce…" Jeremy said but before he finished, he looked at the screen.
"Ok, something is definitely going on." Jeremy said.
"Why?" Odd asked.
"The tower has already been deactivated." Jeremy said.
"Another unexplainable tower deactivation. I wonder why XANA keeps on deactivating his own towers." Aelita said.
"I was actually smart this time to record what happens in the factory." Jeremy said pulling up a window and fast-forwarding it. Then there was a glimpse of somebody on the bridge, the camera showed static, then returned to normal.
"Wait, rewind that." Yumi said.
"Hey, it's James!" Odd exclaimed.
"Hm, I think I want to ask James some questions." Jeremy said.
"But James is good at keeping secrets, no one would be able to tell if he was lying or telling the truth. He can't be cracked." Ulrich said. Everyone looked at him.
"What? In the hallway, I was asking what he was doing with candles, and he said it was for lighting. He didn't look suspicious or anything. I actually believed him." Ulrich replied.
"He won't tell the truth, unless…hm…" Odd said. He then thought of something he knew James couldn't resist. He was now looking at Aelita.
"I know." Odd said with a smile.
"No way odd, I know what your thinking." Jeremy said.
"What is he thinking?" Aelita asked.
"I am thinking that Aelita could flirt with him to tell her. I know he likes Aelita, I saw a glimpse of a picture of her in his backpack." Odd said.
"NO WAY!" Jeremy yelled.
"It's the only way, you can't make him tell you anything." Odd said.
"I don't like it, but I actually agree with odd, it could be the only way to see if it's XANA or him." Yumi replied.
Ulrich nodded. Aelita had been thinking about it. She didn't like the idea, but she was really curious. She also thought that would help to get James' secret out, so she agreed. Jeremy then gave up and they said they would do it the next day so that James wouldn't get suspicious.
