Link 3 Holiday in the Fog
Link Connected
Jeremy POV
I sat patiently in the principle office Elisabeth by my side, as the two of us watch her father work on some document. Vacation was just around the corner and the two of us made plans not to go home for break so we can spend time with Aelita.
"Tell me again why you wish to stay here instead going to your grandparent Elisabeth?" "As I told you before father, I think it would help my studies if I stay over the break with Jeremy so he can tutor me." "Don't you think Jeremy have plan this holiday, you can't just tell him to stay-" "Sorry to cut in sir but I already ask my parent about this, and they think it's a good idea if I help a fellow student with their study."
Elisabeth dad just stares at us as he let out a breath.
"So did you guys did it?"
I smile at Charles as me and Elisabeth walk down the hallway just getting out of her dad office. We stop near the exit of the building giving him the thumbs up
"Yea, me and Elisabeth are in the clear. If Xana think about attacking during the break the three of us can handle it. I mean if we're not getting any vacation time I don't think Xana should either.
Odd and Sarah laugh at this as we left the building heading to class.
Laura POV
I exit one of my teacher offices seeing Nicholai and Herb waiting for me. The two boys started talking to each other as we walk down the hall when I saw Elisabeth and her loser of a friend near the exit. I stopped walking forcing my lackeys to stop as well as I eavesdrop on what they were talking. I did not hear much on what they were saying, but what I do know is that Elisabeth convinces her dad on letting her and Jeremy stay here for the holiday.
"That seems weird that Elisabeth wants to stay at school with Jeremy during the holiday, and I wonder who this Xana is?"
I did not bother listening to my lackey as a sudden thought came to mind about getting some dirt on little miss perfect. I instructed Herb and Nicolai to go to class without me as I went to see Elisabeth father.
"Come in"
I walk into the principal office seeing him look over some paper work. Mr. Delmas took a glance at me before going back to the paper work.
"What can I do for you Mrs. Gauthier."
I smile at him telling Mr. Delmas that I wish to stay over the break to do a little study for my class. Mr. Delmas just stared at me before telling me if I was planning on joining Jeremy and Elisabeth study session over the break. I put up a false smile realizing what excuse Elisabeth use on her father as I nodded my head.
"Yes I was planning on studying with them so is it ok?"
Mr. Delmas just nodded his head as I left his office.
"By the end of this break I will find out who this Xana person is."
Elisabeth POV
The seven of was walking around the campus listening to Ulrich ranting about everyone plan for break.
"Odd is going to spend time with his family on the other side of the world. Yumi are heading to the mountain. Charles and Sarah are heading back to their home to meet their relative, and You two are going to be here spending time with Aelita. Finally I'm going to spend my whole break with a math tutor."
I let out a small chuckle seeing Odd throw his hand over Ulrich shoulder commenting on how it going to be mission impossible to make a good student in Ulrich in one week. I just smile at them I hooking my arms with Odd as we kept walking.
"Jeremy, are you sure you can handle Xana with just you and Elisabeth?"
I look back at Yumi and Jeremy to see Jeremy smiles stating that him and I can handle it.
"Not to offend you, Ulrich and Odd but before you guys join us. Me, Aelita, Sarah, Charles and Elisebeth were a great team. And beside if Xana does not attack I would have more to find a way to materialize Aelita back to the real world."
I smile at Jeremy think about back then when it was just the five of us, but that smile soon vanish when I remember the outcome of our adventure. I brush that though aside holding Odd arm closer as we kept walking.
Jeremy POV
I let out a sigh scrubbing harder to get rid of the graffiti of the school wall. I let out another frustrated sigh looking towards other to see them picking up trash and cleaning some of the wall on the school. Sarah and Elisabeth thought it would be a good idea to help clean up the school before we go off on vacation and being the type of guy's me and Charles are we agree. We were able to rope in Yumi and Ulrich to help us, and usually whenever Elisabeth doses something Odd was always close behind.
"Ok, you guys seem to be doing great I'm going to go get more sponge and soap so you guys keep up the good work"
I look over to Jim who was supposed to supervise us as he left into a building to get us more cleaning supply
"Odd quitted!"
I look over to Elisabeth and Odd to see him spraying her with the hose as she laugh throwing a sponge at him. I smile at them holding up my own sponge as I saw Charles and Sarah walk by picking up trash. Aiming the sponge carefully I quickly threw it hitting Charles right in the head. Charles quickly turns to me picking the sponge glaring at me.
"You're going to get it now Einstein!" "Bring it on gearhead."
Normal POV
In the custodian closet, a dark shadow appear out of the outlet knocking over barrels of oil. The dark shadow wave over the oil causing a purple perfume to rises in the air.
Jeremy POV (Later that night)
I let out a load yawn as I look over my computer to see my progress on Aelita Revitalization. It was pretty late in the night but I want to get more work of the work finish seeing as I had the room to myself. Charles and Sarah already left early to go visited their relative leaving me alone in the room. I continue typing on the key board thinking about going over to the factory tonight and finish my work with the revitalization there hoping to be one-step closer to bring Aelita back to us.
Letting out a sigh I pinch the bridge of my nose as I started to get a little tired as well as irritated think about what happen after the water fight with the others this morning. Don't get me wrong it was fun, but only until Laura came in and act like she run the place. I really didn't care what she was doing, but when she started talking about Xana everything went south. I did my best to control my anger towards her but Yumi wanted to give her a good slap. Luckily, Elisabeth and Sarah were there to stop her. However, I did notice Elisabeth did not put up that much an effort to stop Yumi from hurting Laura.
"Hey Wizard, I think you should get some sleep."
I look up at my screen to see Aelita have a worry look on her face as I gave her a soft smile feeling my mood get a little bit better seeing her.
"I'm fine Angel just trying to finish some work on the program to bring you back."
I see Aelita give me one of her million dollar smile as I felt my cheek turn a little red. It crazy to think something a little as a smile can make me feel so happy.
"You know Wizard it not the end of the world if I stay virtualizes for another day." "That fine for you Angel, but if you don't come home soon I wouldn't be able to keep the promise we made as kids."
I know I couldn't see it on the screen, but I could tell Aelita was little embarrassed as I smile at her. I saw Aelita look at me as she gave me a soft smile "Thank you Jeremy, thank you for everything you're doing for me." I gently place my hand on the monitor tracing my finger of her cheek.
"You know I would do everything for you." "I know"
Aelita look at me with a shy expression as I saw her close her eye and lean towards the screen. I smile at the monitor thanking my lucky star that Charles was not here as I lean close to the monitor giving Aelita a good night kiss.
After I wish Aelita a good night I rush quietly, out of the room heading towards one of the door that lead to the factory. Walking down a hallway, I heard a rumbling sound coming from a custodian closet as I look towards the door. I examine the sound as I realize it sound like something was about to explode. I quickly walk towards the door opening it when I let out a cough breathing in sound weird smoke. I quickly shut the door as I kept coughing trying to take in some air felling some one place a hand on my shoulder. I quickly turn around and see Jim standing behind me.
"What do you think you're doing here Belpoism and don't give me that I was sleep walking excuse because I hea-." "Jim there no time there is something really weird going on in there."
Jim gave me a look as he look at the door and slowly open. I prepared myself for the weird smoke to come out, but was shock to see the closet completely smoke free. I peered inside the room to see the place look like a disaster with no trace of the smoke anywhere. The thought of Xana came to mind as I felt Jim take my hand and led me to my room. Jim put me in our room telling me not to leave again, and that told tomorrow he would call my parent so I had better be ready. Jim closes the door as I head towards at my computer
"Aelita…"
Aelita quickly came on my screen as she gave me a look telling me she knows. She told me what was going on in Lyoko
The next morning I rush out of my room heading straight for the factory to check out what Xana was up to and put a stop to it. The moment the elevator open to the super computer I rush to the chair tying on the keyboard to see the damage Xana did. My eyes widen as the computer finish examine the oil in the closet as Aelita appear on screen. I told her about the chemical and that if anyone were to breaths in the smoke for too long it would be fatal. I kept typing on the keyboard trying to located the activate tower realizing it was not in the desert section.
"Aelita I found the Tower! You going to have to transported to the forest area." "What about the other?" "Charles and Sarah already left for the relative. I try to get in contact with Ulrich and Elisabeth and see if Odd and Yumi left already."
Aelita nodded her head as she disappears from my screen as I watch her walking into a tower to head for the Forest area.
"Be careful Aelita…"
Normal POV (Real World/School)
Laura walk down the hall feeling bored out of her mind knowing she gave up her vacation just to spy on Elisabeth and her dumb friend.
"If I don't find anything about them that this would be a waste of time."
Laura grumble to herself when she saw Elisabeth door swung open revealing a very stress Elisabeth running out of it.
"Jeremy I'm on my way!"
Elisabeth was not paying attention were she was going as she crash into Laura knocking both of them to the ground. Laura just glances at Elisabeth as she got up looking very mad at her.
"Watch where you going."
Elisabeth just glares at Laura as her eyes widen. Before Laura could say, anything Elisabeth took her hand leading her down the corridor. Laura tried to argue with Elisabeth but she told her to shut up and keep on running. Laura did not understand what was going on as she turns around and her eyes widen as she saw what was following her. The two of them kept running as they collided in to Jim.
"Jim!"
Laura quickly ran behind Jim as Elisabeth look over to the smoke to see it still coming. Jim had a questionable look at me as he look down the hall and saw the purple smoke chasing after us.
Ulrich sat in his tutor house bored to death listening to his teach explain the math equation as I look down the phone and saw and SOS from Jeremey. I quickly and quietly left the house without the tutor knowing as I rush out heading towards the factory.
Odd did his best to explain the security guard why he was trying to get his dog on to the plane as his phone rang. Odd quickly answer it hearing Jeremy voice. Odd quickly made up an excuse to the security guard as he rushes out of the airport.
Yumi sat behind the family car waiting for her mom to get ready for their vacation. Yumi look at the front to see her dad getting a little irritated with her mom. Yumi let out a sigh as her phone rang. Yumi glance down seeing Jeremy name as she got out of the car not listening to her father calling as she run to the factory.
Elisabeth led Jim and Laura down the hall as she told them to go into custodian closet slamming the door from behind. Elisabeth quickly told Jim to hand her his jacket as she rolled the jacket up jamming it into the door not allowing the smoke to enter the room. Laura was looking around as she started panicking. Elisabeth quickly shouts at Laura telling her to calm down as she picked up her phone.
"Jeremy it Elisabeth we have some trouble." "What going on?" "Xana Smoke trapped me, Laura and Jim in a closet and we can't get out." "Ok, Elisabeth sit tight Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi are on the way. Try your best to keep Jim and Laura calm… Elisabeth good luck." "Thanks Jeremy."
I hang up my phone as I look over to Jim and Laura seeing Jim trying to keep Laura calm. I told them that we would be ok but we need to stay calm. Laura gave me a look as she started to hyperventilating as I place a hand on her shoulder trying to calm her down.
"Don't worry we will be find."
(Real World/Factory)
Jeremy watch Aelita finally made it to the Forest area on the screen as he heard the elevator began to move. The elevator door opens up as Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi rush in.
"What going on Einstein?" "Xana attacking and she got Elisabeth, Laura and Jim trap in the school." "Ok, I think Odd and Yumi should head to Lyoko and I would go help Elisabeth."
Jeremy nodded to Ulrich as all three rushes to their destination
"Jeremy, me and Odd are at the scanner"
Jeremy began the virtualization Yumi and Odd enter the scanner.
"Transferring Yumi, Transferring Odd, Scanner Yumi, Scanner Odd. VIRTUALIZATION!"
(Lyoko/Forest Area)
Odd and Yumi enter the forest area spotting Aelita as she pointed out the tower. Odd and Yumi were about to lead Aelita to the tower as a few of Xana monster appear to stop them.
"Well I guess this is the welcoming committee."
Odd got his lazar arrow ready as Yumi pull out her fan. Aelita quickly hid behind the two Lyoko warriors as they got ready to battle.
(Real World/School)
Ulrich made it to the school as his eyes widen seeing the huge purple smoke surrounding the building. Ulrich quickly pull out a handkerchief as he burst through the door looking for Elisabeth and the other. Ulrich visions suddenly became blurry as some of the smoke got into him. Ulrich heard his phone ring as he pick it up leaning agents the wall trying to find her bearing.
"Ulrich do you copy how it's going." "Not good… I can't find Elisabeth… and the other."
Jeremy became worry about Ulrich state hearing his horse voice and his cough. Jeremy quickly tolded Ulrich he needs to leave the building right away. Ulrich told Jeremy that he will find them and that he has one last room to check.
(Real WorldFactory)
"Ulrich, Ulrich answer me!"
The phone soon went dead as my worry grew as I quickly dial the phone to call Elisabeth hoping she pick up. After a few tone sounds the phone went to voice mail, as I fear the worst.
"Guys I don't want to rush you but you guys really need kick it in gear. It is getting really serious back here."
(Lyoko/Forest Area)
"Yea were not having an easy time either Einstein."
Odd quickly maneuver away the Kankrelats laser as he shot out his lazar arrow at them. Yumi quickly aid Odd throwing her arrow destroying one Kankrelats. One of the Kankrelats charge up the laser shooting at Odd as he got shot in the arm. Aelita rush to check on Odd as the Kankrelats shot another laser heading for Aelita. Yumi quickly over Aelita protecting her as she got hit with the laser.
"Yumi Odd you guys ok!" "We don't have any broken bone yet Jeremy." "Ok, guys protect Aelita and hurry, I don't think Ulrich and Elisabeth don't have much time."
(Real World/School)
I slowly woke up from being unconscious as I heard knock from the door as I look at Jim and Laura who look really tired and worn out. I quickly rush to the door and try to open it as Laura pop up stating it would be dangerous. I told her that someone was out there and they need help. Laura gave me a scared look as I turn back to the door. I told Jim and Laura to cover their mouth as I quickly open the door. My eyes widen to see Ulrich pass out on the ground as I quickly rush to him picking him up and dragging him back into the closet as Jim shut the door before the smoke could get in. Laura looked shock to see Ulrich as she began to panic seeing the past out Ulrich. I look at the door that was keeping us safe from the smoke as I thought about Jeremy.
"Jeremy… Hurry…"
(Lyoko/Forest Area)
Aelita, Yumi, and Odd found themselves hiding behind a tree as multiple laser fire at them. Yumi peak out of the tree as a lazer shot close to her blowing some of the bark off the tree.
"Aelita Odd we need to get around the monster to deactivate the tower. I would play as decoy and you and Odd need to get to the tower"
Odd nodded dragging Aelita behind the tree as Yumi close her eyes focusing on the rock lifting it up dropping it on one of the Kankrelats distracting the other as Yumi and Aelita headed for the tower. Yumi quickly jump on the rock throwing one of her fan destroying another Kankrealts as one of the Kankrealts shot a laser hitting Yumi.
"Yumi be careful another shot like that and you will be devitalize."
Yumi did not have any chance to respond as another fury of laser hit her devitalize her from Lyoko.
(Real World/Factory)
Jeremy kept typing on the super computer as the elevator open Yumi rush in as the phone from the computer rang I check the ID seeing Elisabeth name.
"Elisabeth thank god you're ok." "Jeremy sorry for not calling sooner but the smoke knock me out... Jeremy you need to hurry Ulrich is passed out and we really need help. The smoke is starting to get in the here and we are losing oxygen."
I started to hear Elisabeth coughing as I call out for her as the phone went dead. I quickly turn my attention back to the computer telling Odd to hurry up.
(Lyoko/Forest Area)
Aelita and Odd made it to the tower as they notice the tower was surrounded by the virtualize seawater. Odd turn around to see a few Kankrealts caught up to them.
"Aelita quick, make a path way while I handle the Kankrealts!"
Odd quickly got ready to shot his arrow as Aelita rush towards the tower getting on her knee as she focuses her mind trying to create a path to the tower. The Kankrealts started to fire laser at Aelita as Odd jump in front of the laser as he got hit. The path to the tower was finally complete allowing Aelita to quickly ran towards the tower as the Kankrealts chase after her. Odd blocked the path to the tower not allowing the Kankrealts to pass as he aimed his arrow towards them. Both Odd and Kankrealts shot there laser devitalize both of them as Aelita made it to the tower.
(Real World/Tower)
"Aelita hurry I don't think Elisabeth and Ulrich can make it any longer!"
Stepping in to the tower Aelita headed to the platform bringing her to the second floor of the tower.
Elisabeth could barely breathe as she crawls towards her phone as she felt tears run down her face.
Aelita arrive the second floor heading to the monitor as it appear placing her hand on it.
"Ae…"
Code
"…Lita…"
Lyoko
"Let hope it not to late… Return to the past now!"
All the monitor in the tower stated to fall when suddenly a bright light came from under the tower consuming everything in its light.
Jeremy POV
Me and Elisabeth walk out of her father office getting him to agree on letting us stay for the break…again.
"You know you guys don't have to stay here anymore during the break, it not like Xana is not going to attack twice." "I know Ulrich but as long as Aelita is stuck in Lyoko I'm not going to rest."
I look over To Elisabeth who was talking to Charles and Sarah as Odd walk over to her. Elisabeth grabs his arm holding it tight as she look over to me giving me a sad smile.
"Beside I'm not the only one who misses her…"
