Author's Note - Yo guys! Chapter 8 is coming up! I kinda liked Chapter 7 myself it was pretty good. Hope you liked it too! :).

Last time Carly, Zack, and James were going to deactivate a Tower on Lyoko. James wanted to stay behind since Miss Halfer their Math Teacher which was being controlled by XANA was here at the Factory. Carly was worried something might happen to James if he stayed but thanks to Zack and James they conviced her to go. Zack and Carly successfully deactivated the Tower but it was too late James was... gone. But then Carly had an idea for bringing him back. She went on the computer and launched a Return to the Past. Will this save James? Read and find out! Read and Review.

Chapter 8: Sector 5 and the Skid

Zack woke up and looked around and realized that Carly must have launched a Return to the Past for James.

"Huh? Wait why am I back in my Dorm?" Zack asked. "Oh no James! He must have... I hope the Return to the Past worked."

In Zack's Math Class

Zack was still thinking if the Return to the Past worked or if his Math Teacher was back to normal. Then he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Hey Zack!" Said a voice behind him.

Zack turned around and saw Carly and someone else. It was James alive!

"James... your alive!" Zack yelled.

"Yeah looked like the Return to the Past worked." James said.

"Now let's see if we got our Teacher back to normal." Zack said.

Then Miss Halfer came in the Classroom and Carly, Zack, and James looked at her eyes. Her eyes were normal so she was back to normal!

"Phew!" Carly, James, and Zack said.

In the center of Kadic

"Hey guys!" Yelled Carly.

"What's up Carly?" Asked Zack.

"I'm done with my Piano Lesson." Carly told them. "Ready to go?" Carly asked.

"Yep!" Both Zack and James replied.

At the Factory

Carly, Zack, and James came out of the elevator and into the Computer Room. Then James sat down on the computer chair.

"I'll stay here again." James said.

"Right!" Carly and Zack said.

Carly and Zack went down the Scanner Room and they each got in a scanner.

"Ready guys?" James asked.

"Ready!" Carly and Zack replied.

"Alright let's do this!" James said. "Transfer Zack! Transfer Carly!"

Both scanners closed.

"Scanner Zack! Scanner Carly!" James said.

Both scanners scanned Carly and Zack.

"Virtualization!" James yelled.

James pressed enter and both scanners sent Zack and Carly to Lyoko.

On Lyoko

Zack and Carly were Virtualized into Sector 5 and landed.

"Alright James we're here." Zack told him.

"Kay." Said James. "Get ready. GO!"

In front of Carly and Zack one of the walls opened in Sector 5 and they started moving on.

"So what are we supposed to do again?" Carly asked.

"We've gone throught the plan like six times Carly." James replied.

"Well can we go throught it again?" Carly asked.

"Alright but listen this time." James replied. "Remember in Jeremy's video diary? It said something about some kind of ship called the Skid which can be used to travel throught the Digital Sea without dying!"

"Whoa! That's awesome! Carly exclaimed.

"You bet. I would love to know what thethe bottom Digital Sea looks like." Said Zack.

Just then Zack and Carly saw some monsters up ahead.

"Ew! What are those?" Carly asked.

"They're called Creepers. They live in Sector 5." Jame replied. "Some monsters only live in Sector 5 you know."

Then the Creepers started attacking Zack and Carly with lasers. Both of them dodged.

"They must be trying to stop us from rebuilding the Skid" James said.

"Well than let's stop them from stopping us" Said Carly. "Laser Arrows!" Yelled Carly.

"Energy Field!" Yelled Zack.

Both attacks killed the two Creepers and they were able to move on.

"Alright. Your close." James told them. "Zack remember your the only one who can get data since your a Lyoko Guardian. Make sure you get the data so all of us can get data and be able to disable Towers.

"Right!" Zack said.

Zack ran up to Sector 5's computer panel and began to get some data.

"Alright Carly get ready. Here comes the Mantas." James told her. "I'll send you your Overboard. Your job is to protect Zack from the Mantas while he gets the data we need."

"Got it!" Carly said.

Then three Mantas came out and started shooting lasers at Zack and Carly.

"Don't worry Zack I got this." Carly told him.

Carly hopped on her Overboard and flew up and got ready to aim to attack the ememy.

"Lasers Arrows!" Yelled Carly.

Carly's Arrows at least hit one of the Mantas. But there was still two more to go.

"Don't worry Carly I'm almost done." Said Zack. "Just keep them busy for just a little longer."

Then a Creeper was virtualized behind Zack.

"Zack look out behind you!" Carly yelled.

"There I'm bringing the data to you now James!" Zack told him.

Then Zack heard Carly after sending the data to James and turned around.

"Oh man." Zack said worringly. "Energy Field!"

Both Zack and the monster shot and devirtualized each other when their attacks took impacted.

"Don't worry Zack sent the data just in time." Said James "Get out of there Carly!"

"Right!" Carly said.

Luckily Carly got away from the Mantas just in time.

At the Factory

Zack got out of his scanner and climbed up to the Computer Room.

"Did I send the data in time?" Zack asked.

"Yep!" Replied James. "I've already sent the data. Now all of us can disable Towers when XANA attacks. I also made a program so the Skid can be repaired faster. Carly is going to check it out right now."

Back on Lyoko

Carly is riding on her Overboard to the Skid's location. Then she saw an elevator.

"You'll have to leave your Overboard behind." Said James.

"Kay." Said Carly

Carly got on the elevator and James activated it. Then the elevator went up and Carly saw the Skid with her own eyes.

"It looks amazing!" Carly exclaimed.

"Sweet I can't wait to see it soon." Said Zack.

"Alright Carly I'm bringing you back in." James said.

Then Carly was rematerialized back to Earth.

Back at the Factory

Carly came out of her scanner and went up to the Computer Room.

"You guys were awesome! We finally rebuilt the Skid." Said James.

"I can't wait to try it out!" Zack exclaimed.

"Me too!" Carly agreed.

Then Zack and Carly's stomaches started grumbling

"Wow guess you guys are hungry." James said.

"Yeah guess so." Zack said.

"Well who wouldn't be after an adventure like that." Carly said.

Then James stomach started grumbling as well. Then all of them laughed.

"Wow! Guess we're all hungry." Zack said.

"Yeah what time is it?" Carly asked.

Then James took out his phone and checked the time.

"It's 5:30. Dinner starts in 30 minutes." James replied.

"So what do we do?" Asked Carly.

"Anyone up for bowling?" Zack asked. "We can get food at the Bowling Alley anyways."

"Sure!" Both James and Carly yelled.

"Kay race ya!" Zack yelled.

Then they all raced out of the Factory.
