Key: These are thoughts, mainly Odd's

This is talk from someone on Lyoko

This is talk from Jeremie when he's on his headpiece talking to the group on Lyoko or in the scanners

Someone on the Phone

Odd's visions


AN: Because of the overwhelming support for option C, it has given me an interesting idea. So once I reach chapter 25, which should be the Killer Music chapter it will help me form the chapter. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Next chapter will be one of my own making. I'm going to try so that 2 chapter will be the actual episodes and then one will be my own making.

Updates: Every Thursday


Odd didn't know how she was convinced. But somehow she was. Picking a lock was the easy part, slowly pushing open the now unlocked door Odd peeked into the room. Good, she thought He's asleep. Odd looked down to Kiwi, who was standing obediently next to her crouched form. "Okay Kiwi. When I go around the corner, I want you to go in and wake up Jim. Do whatever it takes. Once he's awake, you run to where Ulrich and Jeremie are, pass them. Then come back to the room. Ok?" she whispered.

Kiwi gave a small yip. "Good boy Kiwi!" she praised quietly as she gave him a pat on the head.

Odd quickly stood and rushed behind the wall, making sure to leave the door only partially open. Crouching down low, Odd waited. A few seconds passed and Odd was getting worried. Then,"Hey! What are you doing here, huh? You dumb dog! Wait'll I get my hands on you! I'll get you this time you mangy mutt!"

Odd grinned as Kiwi ran past her followed by Jim. "Ya! Waita go Kiwi!" She whispered happily only to frown,"And my dog is not a dumb dog or a mangy mutt…"she muttered as she stood and went to wait in Ulrich's room to find out what happened.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Odd leaned back in her seat next to Yumi,"Can't believe Einstein's so hardcore." Odd commented absently.

The other two easily translated that two "He's lucky to know me.

Ulrich snorted,"You're crazy Odd. He's gonna be in so much trouble for the stupid spray paint stunt."

Odd grinned translating it to "You're the one who came up with the idea. You even drew it for us, we just needed to fill it in."

"I wonder where he even got the paint." Yumi absently asked glancing at Odd from the corner of her eyes.

Odd only grinned. "...I hope this will teach you a lesson Jeremie. I don't understand. A model student like you, you should be ashamed." Mr. Delmas stated as he and Jeremie came out of the room.

Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich quickly stood up and waited for the conversation to finish. "Uh..yes sir." Jeremie replied looking down.

As Mr. Delmas closed the door, the three Lyoko warriors rushed over to Jeremie. "What did he say?", "How'd it go?", and "Well, tell us?" was quickly asked by Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd.

Jeremie looked down again," Ahh...he gave me detention for the whole week of vacation."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Cool! He really let ya have!" Odd said cheerfully, patting Jeremie on the shoulder.

"As punishments go, you're a champion!" Ulrich agreed.

Yumi pushed her hair out of her face,"I'm sure we couldn't have done better than that."

Jeremie gave a slightly shy grin,"Anyway, XANA won't get any vacation this time."

After giving Jeremie another bright grin, Odd led the way out. She had packing to finish.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"You get to go see your parents at the other end of the planet," Ulrich stated glancing at Odd,"Yumi's off for vacation in the mountains," here Ulrich glanced to Yumi,"and what do I get? A whole week of math tutoring."

Odd laughed and put her arm around Ulrich's shoulders,"If they think they could make a good student out of you in one week, well I say good luck to them. It sounds like mission impossible if you ask me."

Ulrich gave a slight smile as Yumi turned and spoke to Jeremie,"You sure you can manage alone without us?"

As Jeremie turned to Yumi to answer, the group slowed to a stop to allow easier conversation. "No sweat and if XANA leaves me alone, I'll be able to work on Aelita's materialization."

"Oh don't worry, he's not gonna be alone." an annoyingly familiar voice said as Odd's head snapped over to look at Sissi,"I'm staying at school too. And I'll look after him, I'll be his guardian angel."

Odd couldn't hold back the snort,"Wow Jeremie, are you lucky. Your very own Lucifer."

Sissi looked proud then confused. Odd wanted to bang her head into a wall somewhere. However, Jim stopped her from ruining her hair, a perfect ponytail. "All right young man, you think this wall's gonna clean itself?" he asked placing his fists at his hips.

Poor Jeremie. Was the collective thought of the three Lyoko warriors. "Get to work NOOOWWWW!" Jim yelled at Jeremie.

Odd heard Sissi laughing and frowned. Jim then turned to Sissi,"Go on, go on. Laugh while you still can young lady. Your father told me to monitor your studying and that's what I intend to do!" Now Sissi looked worried.

"Don't worry Sissi, Jim is a great study buddy." Odd said smirked at the angry girl.

"Okay now, get to work and clean that up." Jim said pushing Jeremie along with Sissi following.

After watching them walk off, Ulrich turned to the two girls. "I don't know why, but all of a sudden my math tutoring doesn't seem all that bad."

Odd only snorted before turning away,"Well, I have a cab to call. See you guys in a week! Arrivederci amici!" she called back as she pulled out her phone.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Odd hated waiting for planes. It was the one thing she hated more than anything. Absently Odd pulled out her phone and went through her contact list. Mom? No. Dad? No. Elizabeth? Pauline? Louise? Marie? Adele? No, no, no, no, and no. Ulrich? Math tutoring, poor guy. Emmanuel? Nah, don't want to ruin his family time. Jeremie? Probably still in trouble with Jim. Yumi? Shouldn't she be on the road? Maybe she'd like a call. Deciding on who to talk to for the next 2 hours before she would go thru airport security, Odd clicked on Yumi's contact and put the phone to her ear. After three and half rings, Yumi answered,"Hey Odd. Shouldn't you be on your flight?"

"Nope, it got delayed. I'm not leaving for another 2 hours. I haven't even gone thru security yet." Odd said as she leaned back in her seat, Kiwi in her lap.

"Ouch, that must really suck." Yumi said in sympathy.

Odd could here Yumi's father muttering something, but no Hiroki and no Mrs. Ishiyama. "How's the trip going anyway? I don't hear your mom or brother."

"We haven't even left the house. I'm in the car right now and we're waiting for them. We should have left 2 hours ago."

"See, now that's why I'm glad my family doesn't usually drive everywhere and when we do, we plan everything to a T."

"You? Plan something? I just can't believe it!"

Odd laughed,"Well it's true! It's usually my dad planning and my sisters and I following though. Remember my dad was in the military."

"Oh ya, I forgot about that! What branch was he in again?"

"The Esercito Italiano. Kind of like the army."

"Ah, that's cool. So has Ulrich called you to complain?"

"Surprisingly, not yet. I thought he would have for sure by now."

"It's probably because of his tutor."

"I wonder what kind of math tutor his parents got him. Probably an old one."

"Odd!" Yumi scolded with a laugh.

Odd grinned,"You know I'm probably right. Poor Ulrich. He's probably bored to death."

Yumi laughed over the phone before Odd noticed that the plane was going to be ready soon and that she should probably go thru security now. "Hey Yumi, I gotta go. The plane should be here soon."

"Alright, I'll see you later Odd."

"Ciao Yumi." Odd hung up her phone.

Standing up and stretching, she put Kiwi into her bag and went to security. Getting thru was going to be hard.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"..Hey. Come and have a look at this Charlie."

Odd glanced up as the security guard, Charlie looked over to the other security guard. "What is it? Wow that's incredible."

Shoot. Odd thought sourly. They caught me. "What is that kid?"

Odd leaned forward and, sure enough, saw Kiwi's skeleton. "Uhh, it's a, looks like a skeleton." she said with an innocent smile.

"Yeah, but don't you see anything strange?" Charlie the security guard asked.

"Your skeleton is moving." the other security guard said.

Odd looked over again,"Uh...oh that's Kiwi. Kiwi's my dog,"Odd said with a smile.

"You do know that dogs are only allowed in the luggage department." security guard stated.

"well, yeah sure, uh. I don't know what happened. He was suppose to stay here. With my grandma," Odd added noticing the look security officer gave Charlie,"But.."

Odd was saved by her phone ringing. Pulling out her phone Odd noticed it was Jeremie. Dammit XANA. It hasn't even been a full day. "Oh. It's Gram!" Odd quickly answered it,"We were just uh talking about you!"

"What are you talking about Odd, it's me? Jeremie."

"Yes of course I know it's you Gram. I'm sorry, I know you've told me a hundred times you don't like me to call you Gram."

"Odd, you need to come back. XANA's staged an attack."

"Yeah okay, I'm on my way. Right. I'll bring back the dog. Bye Gram."

Hanging up the phone, Odd gave an innocent smile to Charlie,"Can I have my dog back? I need to give him to my grandma."

Charlie gave her Kiwi and her stuff, at her request, and she rushed out. Time to call another cab.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Odd arrived at the factory with little trouble. She dropped her stuff and bent down to look at Kiwi. "Kiwi. I need you to stay here and watch my stuff. Okay?"

Kiwi gave a yipping bark and sat down. "Good boy," Odd muttered as she scratched his head before standing up,"Guys!?" she called.

Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremie should be here. They were closer to the school than she was. Something was wrong. Odd rushed to the bridge and down into the sewer. Without her board this was going to suck. Odd ran thru the sewers as fast as she could. She could only hope that XANA hasn't hurt her friends. Finally making it to the park entrance of the sewer, Odd easily climbed up and opened the man hole. She covered it back up and rushed towards the school. Stopping for a moment to catch her breath, Odd heard footsteps. They sounded...off. Looking next to her at the tree. Odd climbed up it. She'd rather be paranoid and safe over relaxed and injured. But to her relief and worry, it was Yumi and Jeremie. Jeremie who was obviously hurt and leaning on Yumi. She got ready then jumped down and landed in a crouch. "Odd! You got here in the nick of time!" Yumi said in relief.

But Odd only noticed one thing. "Where's Ulrich?"

"He went back to the school. There's a poisonous gas and Sissi and Jim are still inside."

Why are all of my friends the selfless one? Odd though to herself as she stood straight and helped Yumi support Jeremie.

"You gonna be ok Einstein?" Odd asked, worried for her friend.

"I'll be fine Odd. But Ulrich, Sissi, and Jim won't if we don't hurry." Jeremie replied.

It took them a few minutes to get settled but eventually they were on their way to the factory...with Jeremie almost falling over several times. Making it to the factory, they rushed down to the supercomputer, giving Jeremie support, and were promptly horrified by all the people hurt because of XANA. Yumi quickly turned off the news. "Odd! help me get over to the computer." Jeremie requested.

Odd frowned. Jeremie was looking worse. This wasn't good. Jeremie continued,"And get ready to dive in. Stop looking at me. Come on. There's no time to lose."

After a quick look back at Yumi. Odd rushed forward and helped Jeremie to the supercomputer before rushing to the waiting elevator. Yumi hit the button and they were going down. As Odd stepped into the scanner, she felt the rush of excitement that she only felt when about to go to Lyoko. "Transfer Yumi. Transfer Odd. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Odd. Virtualization."

The feeling of the wind rushing up at her was always an amazing feeling. Opening her eyes, Odd landed in a kneeling position in Lyoko. Looking around, Odd called out,"Where do we go now?"

"The activated tower is over this way!" a familiar voice called out.

Aelita walked out from behind a tree. "Hi Aelita! Have you seen any monsters?" Yumi asked waving at the pink haired girl.

"Not yet." Aelita replied as Odd looked behind her.

"Guess you didn't look very hard." Odd said pointing to the upcoming kankrelats,"Look like it's a girls day, huh Yumi?"

Odd looked at Yumi from the corner of her eye. Yumi smirked and got into a fighting stance,"Got that right Odd."

And the fight began.

"I don't want to rush you my friends. But it's getting kind of urgent here." Jeremie said.

"What about us!? What do you think we're doing, huh?" Odd asked, internally thankful for the ballet her mom put her in as she dogged the lasers and fired her own laser arrows,"Getting a suntan?"

As Aelita hid behind a tree, Yumi and Odd fought the kankrelats. When one aimed for her, Odd easily dogged, until the last shot., She miscalculated and was hit in the chest. She saw Aelita come towards her and Yumi push Aelita out of the way of a laser. "You okay Yumi?" she heard Jeremie ask.

"No broken bones yet!" Yumi replied.

"What am I Einstein? Chopped liver?" Odd asked pushing herself up and shooting the kankrelat.

"Sorry Odd, are you okay?"

"No need to even ask Einstein! I'm just peachy!" Odd replied.

"Just take care of Aelita." was Jeremie's reply.

Of course, just because XANA liked to spite them, more kankrelats took the time to appear and the three girls took cover behind a tree. "The only way to access the tower is via a tree branch. But it happens to be behind the monsters and so you're going to have to find a way around them."

"You make it sound sooo easy Einstein…"Odd muttered under her breath as she glanced around the tree to the the kankrelats.

"I might have an idea for blocking the monsters," Yumi spoke as Odd turned to her,"you take care of Aelita." Yumi instructed.

Odd frowned,"Laser arrow!" she called out aiming for the kankrelat that snuck up on them, surprising Aelita.

Yumi then chose the moment to use her telekinesis, which Odd was not jealous of. I'm totally not. Odd insisted to herself as her and Aelita stealthy moved to the side. Yumi then used it to move a large boulder in front of the side of the tree and used it to block Odd and Aelita's path. odd then quickly led Aelita around and towards the tower. Odd saw Yumi hit several times before they made it across the branch-like bridge and Yumi was de-virtualized. "Odd, hurry up!" Jeremie called t her.

"We're going Einstein! You wanna try this?" Odd snapped up at him.

Her and Aelita made it across and for a moment, only looked at the tower surrounded by water. "Well, what'do we do know." she asked.

"You take care of the monsters,"Aelita said facing the bridge.

Odd knelt down as Aelita went closer to the water and Odd took aim of the kankrelat. Then the kankrelat took notice of Aelita and Odd shot. She missed twice before she jumped and took a shot for Aelita. We need to get this girl some defensive powers. Odd thought absently. She pulled herself up just in time to intercept a the (stupid)kankrelat. "Hey you. That's right you." Odd called as the kankrelat turned to her.

Odd was carefully aiming as her and the kankrelat had a stare down. Then Odd called out,"Laser Arrow!" just as the kankrelat shot her. She saw that she got it just before she was de-virtualized.

Stumbling out of the scanner, Odd sat down for a moment. She could only hope Aelita made it to the tower. If she didn't for some reason, then Ulrich was dead. So were Sissi and Jim and all those innocent people. Shaking her head, Odd stood up and rushed to the ladder. She climbed up and stood at the opening for the ladder as Jeremie typed the proper code. "Return to the past now."

And a bright light enveloped them.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Odd opened her eyes to see the faint outline she drew for Jeremie and Ulrich to fill in. She glanced to her right where Jeremie was watching. Jeremie grinned and Odd grinned back. Now...a few changes..

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I don't know why you insist on getting detention again Jeremie." Ulrich said in confusion,"C'mon. XANA's not gonna re-activate this time. You could give yourself a short vacation."

"Not as long a Aelita stays virtual." Jeremie insisted,"and this time, to tell you the truth. Considering what we've painted, Jim can't be too angry."

Hearing Kiwi barking, Ulrich quickly moved to slip away before stopping. "Come to think of it, I'm gonna stick around. Anything is better than another one of Mrs. Shmitz's lessons. Even Jim."

Just then, Jim ran past them yelling at Kiwi. Jeremie and Ulrich glanced at each other with a smirk.
