Me: No small talk this time. Just the chapter.
Odd: Dartz the Fire Demon and Cdc100 do not own Code Lyoko, Kingdom Hearts, Sonic the Hedgehog, or any characters therein.
Sam: Dartz the Fire Demon does own all the OCs and half of the story plot.
Sharon: Cdc100 owns many of the ideas, the other half of the story plot, and the OC that appears in this chapter.
Me: Let the chaos begin!
Chapter 5: The TournamentThe Next Day: Cafeteria
"Hey, Odd. You think you could eat a little slower?" Lisa asked.
"Nope." Odd said with his mouth full of toast.
"I think I just lost my appetite." Dartz said. "I'm heading to class. I've got something to take care of before that Chemistry test in Mrs. Hertz's class."
"I'll come with you." Sharon said. They both got up and threw their trays away before leaving the cafeteria. Mr. Delmas came in a minute later.
"Attention, students. For the next few months, classes will be cancelled due to an event that Kadic will be sponsoring." Jeremy raised his hand. "Yes, Jeremy?"
"What exactly is this event that Kadic is sponsoring?" Jeremy asked.
"I'm glad you asked. Kadic will be sponsoring a martial arts tournament with many types of different martial arts from all over the world." Most of the cafeteria cheered while a few groans could be heard from the younger students. "Also, as a special treat, any student who is interested will be allowed to sign up for a beginners' martial arts class of their choice. Students with experience in martial arts will be allowed to sign up for a beginners' tournament. Sign ups will take place in the gymnasium today from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. That is all." Mr. Delmas walked back out of the cafeteria.
"That sounds interesting." Duke said.
"Yeah." Ulrich said. "We should tell Dartz and Sharon about it."
"We already know." Dartz said making all of us jump. "My old Kundo teacher called and talked to me about it. I'm the one who set it up at Kadic."
"You're the one who set this up?" Yumi asked.
"Yep. I thought we could use a bit of a break."
"What about Xana?" Aelita asked.
"I put up a firewall. We shouldn't be hearing from him for a while."
"Couldn't Xana break through the firewall easily, though?" Lisa asked.
"Nope. This is one of my firewalls. Not even Xana can get through it easily."
"What makes you so sure?"
"Nearly every kid in Japan has one. It's called the DRWall."
"Hey, that's the firewall I use for my laptop." Yumi said.
"Like I said."
"I didn't know you made firewalls." Duke said.
"I didn't start making them till I moved to Japan."
"Cool."
"How did you get this tournament set up?" Ulrich said.
"I pulled a few strings." Dartz said. "You guys wanna sign up?"
"YEAH!" Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, Duke, and Sharon yelled in unison.
"Okay! I don't need my eardrums burned out." Dartz and the rest of the gang walked over to the gymnasium and signed up. Odd signed up for the beginners' Pencak Silat class, Ulrich and Yumi signed up to be Pencak Silat teachers, Duke, Riou, Sam, William, and Sharon signed up for a beginners' tournament, and Dartz talked to Mr. Delmas and showed him a piece of paper before signing his name on an expert tournament list.
"How did you get yourself into an advanced tournament?" Sharon asked.
"My Kundo teacher gave me signed permission to enter an advanced tournament." Dartz answered. "I got you guys into an intermediate tournament, but that's as far as I could get you without signed permission."
"Okay." Duke said. He, Sam, Riou, and Sharon erased their names off the beginners' list and put them on an intermediate list next to it.
"I'll stay on the beginners' level. I don't know that much." William said.
"Can we go back to the cafeteria?" Odd asked. "I never got to finish my breakfast." Sam let out a small giggle.
"Yeah, Odd. We can go back to the cafeteria." Ulrich said while clapping his best friend on the back.
Back at the Cafeteria"I'm glad I finally get a chance to learn Pencak Silat. Now I can go to classes with some of my good buddies." Odd said.
"Yeah, well don't forget. Yumi and Ulrich are teachers, not students." Dartz said. "And the rest of us are either in tournaments, or not participating at all."
"But I get to stay in the class after the tournament is over since there is a Pencak Silat class at school."
"True." The gang noticed Sissi walk over.
"I see the group's up to no good again." She said.
"As opposed to the miracles you work, Elisabeth." Jeremy said.
"Never call me Elisabeth, Nerd!" Sissi shot back. She sat down next to Ulrich.
"Hello, Ulrich- dear."
"I'm telling you this for the last time, I am NOT your ULRICH DEAR!" Ulrich yelled.
"So, I suppose you belong to the Chinese girl huh?"
"I'M JAPANESE!" Yumi yelled.
"Same diff! It's not like you'll make it past first base!"
"Well, now. That's one moh base than you'll evuh make, missy." A voice said from behind the gang. Herve and Nicolas jump about ten feet in the air. A brown haired boy had snuck up behind Sissi. He had hazel eyes and a dark green shirt tucked into a pair of blue jeans.
"You're in my seat, dawlin'." The boy said. Sissi got up and the boy sat down. Dartz gave him a nod while Duke and Riou smiled at him.
"I assume that you're Elisabeth Delmas." The boy said.
"I told you never to call me that!" Sissi said.
"Well, now. Why do you suppose I called you that, then?"
"You must be Garrett Murdoch."
"That's the rumah."
"Well, you better watch yourself."
"Or what? You'll fling your hair in mah face? I'm petrified."
"I own this school, new kid!"
"You're a daisy if you don't. Howevuh, the owner doesn't necessarily rule the school. Then again, even if you DID rule it, I doubt you'd have much of the mental capacity to handle such an occupation. You know what the worst thing is about someone of your arrogance, Dawlin'? They have as few brain cells as they do y-chromosomes. Though, I'm not expecting a prissy little thang like you to know the explanation fuh that. Hell, Mistuh Belpois and Miss Stones could probably give you a bettuh explanation than I evuh could." Sissi glared at Garrett angrily before storming off, Herve and Nicolas in tow.
"Oh, by the way, uh, 'Pissy', is it? If I evuh hear you downgrading one of my friends again, a cuhtain fathuh of yours might accidentally find out that you've been blackmailin' the teachuhs." Sissi just continued toward the door.
"Yes, you'll puhaps find that snide, idiotic comeback on your dressuh." Garrett said.
"Don't let him get to you, Sissi." Herve said.
"In nutrimens veritas. (I speak my mind when I eat.)"
"Age quod agis. (Do what you do best.)"
"Credat Judaeus Appella non ego. (I don't believe that eating is what I do best.)"
"Fossor committo. (Fools don't belong here.)"
"Licentia. (Then, leave.)"
"We don't want trouble." Ulrich said.
"Not in ANY language." Aelita said.
"It's Latin. 'Parently, Mistuh Pichon's well read. 'F only his face wuh (were) in as good a shape as his mand (mind)." Herve stormed out the door after Sissi. Dartz, Duke, and Riou let out a loud laugh.
"Dude that was the angriest I've ever seen her!" Dartz said.
"Doc, you really know how to pick someone apart." Riou said once he settled down.
"Thank ya." Garret said. "It seems you've made some new friends."
"Common interests." Dartz said simply.
"You guys know him?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah we knew each other back in Spain." Duke said.
"We were really close friends before Dartz and I moved to Italy." Riou said.
"So, what are you here for, Doc?" Dartz asked.
"I'm heah fuh the tuhnament." Garrett said.
"So you heard." Dartz said. We heard a crash come from the doorway and noticed two men walk in the broken door. Both of them had guns.
"Didn't you guys learn your lessons last time?" Dartz asked as he got up.
"What lesson is there to learn besides the point that you're an idiot who is trying to interfere with our plans." The first man said as ten more men walked in. Ulrich and Odd started to stand up, but Dartz signaled for them to stay.
"I'll take these numbskulls. You get everyone out of here. This is gonna get messy." He said. They nodded and herded the students out of the cafeteria. Dartz just stood where he was staring at the leader.
"What, no flashy stuff this time?" the leader asked.
"Luckily for you, I have to wait 24 hours for my powers to recharge."
"Good. We've got some friends for you to play with." Kenny and Dylan stepped in front of the men.
"I never saw this one coming." Dartz said sarcastically.
"Shut your mouth, Dragonblade. Once I kick your butt I'll have Sharon's heart all to myself." Kenny said. The men ran outside after the others. A few second later I heard a rock crash into the ground.
"Sounds like the powers are back on." Dartz said as he shot a fireball at Kenny. He dodged the attack and tried to kick Dartz in the ribs but failed miserably. Dartz transformed into his shadow form and kicked Kenny's leg out from under him. Dartz then dealt rapid punches to Kenny's torso, causing him to fall. Dartz returned to normal and shot his claws through Kenny's neck, killing him. Dylan tried to punch Dartz, but Dartz blocked the attack and knocked him into a wall with an aura sphere. Dartz ran out of the cafeteria just in time to seeā¦
