"Aww come on your stupid computer!" A boy in the next door room cried out. The time was currently 1:00 AM, obviously past bedtime in the school.
The computer had apparently frozen when he was in the middle of a war role-play game on the internet.
He continued pressing the exit button and finally resorted to looking to the wires and cords on the back to shut down the computer, when he began to pull the plug he was thrown back by a volt of electricity hitting the wall with a huge thump. He looked at the computer whose screen had gotten black with only a faded red emblem.
It made a high pitch sound and slowly severed smoke.
"What the--?!"
The door was slammed open to reveal Ulrich with the fire extinguisher.
Odd knelt by the speechless boy "You okay?"
Jeremy rushed inside, amidst all the smoke and confusion he managed to sneak a peak at the computer where the monitor suddenly went black.
"XANA?"
"I barely got any sleep last night after that freak computer accident," Odd yawned stretching his arms up "I think a nap in the next class is a due,"
"I bet that boy downloaded something that he wasn't suppose to and ruined his computer," Ulrich replied.
They stood around a bench, and soon Yumi and William came to join them.
"You guys alright? We heard about the thing that happened last night," Yumi first said.
Aelita took her daze away from the cheerleading practice. "I couldn't see anything that had happened in there—what started it?"
"Yea, no one was hurt," Odd replied
"I know the boy who was in the room, he is reckless with computers and probably tried to install something and it went wrong," William threw out.
'Like you were there to see it,' Ulrich thought.
Out of the silence Jeremy, who sat the other end of the bench where they all stood, finally spoke "It was XANA, I saw it with my own eyes,"
They all looked at him, shocked.
"That's impossible," Aelita said.
"You've already shut down the supercomputer," Ulrich added
"What could XANA be planning?"
"There's only one thing to do," Jeremy broke in
"It's back to Lyoko,"
