Chapter 8: Test Course
Chapter 8 everyone! Kinda short, but this really wasn't meant to be long, so enjoy!
In the courtyard the day after Halloween, the Lyoko gang sat on their favorite bench.
"Lyoko, what a weird place." said Mason.
"Today we are going to put you through a test run." said Jeremy.
Soon after Azra and Claire came up with papers.
"Could you give us you autograph Mason." asked Claire.
"uhhhhhhh.... sure." said Mason scribbling his name down.
"You didn't tell us you were in a part-famous band." said Azra.
"And I didn't tell anybody either." said Mason.
"We saw it in Milly and Tamiya's paper." said Claire walking away with Azra.
"I smell a rat." said Mason.
Mason walked across the courtyard to find Milly and Tamiya selling their paper.
"Read all about it, find about one new student's past! Read all about it!" shouted Milly.
"Where did you get this?" asked Mason holding up the magazine.
"We can't tell since we are good reporters." said Milly.
"I see, then equivalent exchange is in order." said Mason.
"A what?" asked Tamiya.
"If you tell me who gave you this information, then I give you a scoop." said Mason.
"It's a deal! It was Odd." said Milly.
"Thank you very much." said Mason.
When he returned he saw that Odd wasn't there anymore.
"WHERE DID HE GO?" asked Mason.
"He ran away, I don't know where he went." said Aelita.
"Let the hunt begin." smiled Mason.
Mason ran around looking for Odd until he accidentally bumped into someone when walking backwards.
"Oh, hello Emily. My bad, didn't see you there" said Mason.
"I didn't know you were in a band, not to mention that won battle of the bands eight times." said Emily holding up the magazine.
"uhhhhh.... yeah if you'll excuse me I have a small job to do at the moment." said Mason sliding past and then running from Emily.
"What's with him?" asked Emily to herself.
"I did it again. I'm just an unsocial person." mumbled Mason to himself.
When he slid past the corner he saw Odd talking to Noemie. When Noemie went away, Mason ran up and grabbed Odd by the shirt.
"Prepare for your dooooooom." laughed Mason dragging Odd away.
"What are you going to do to me?" asked Odd.
"HUMILIATION!!!" smiled Mason pulling out lip stick.
After a few hours Mason gave Milly and Tamiya a picture of Odd in make-up.
"This is a great scoop." smiled Milly.
"Make sure to add that Odd was bored." smiled Mason waking off.
When he got back to the others Odd face was red.
"What did you do to him?!?" asked Aelita.
"Put make up on him." laughed Mason.
"It got red because of my hard scrubbing." frowned Odd.
"That's what you get for snooping in my stuff." said Mason.
"Enough quarrel, it's time to go to the factory." said Jeremy.
"Hold on, I'll be there soon." said Mason.
Mason ran back to where Emily was and stopped.
"I had to chase Odd, I'm sorry if I was a bit awkward and trying to get away from you." said Mason running away.
"What just happened?" asked Emily.
That night when they got to the factory Jeremy told Mason to get into on of the scanners to get virtualized.
"Transfer Mason. Scanning Mason. Virtualization." shouted Jeremy pushing the enter button.
After a few seconds Mason landed in the forest sector.
"Okay Mason, I'm sending the over-wheel." said Jeremy typing in a few keys.
Seconds later, the overwheel appeared.
"First of all find out your weapon and abilities." said Jeremy.
"I know that I have these lazer pistols." said Mason taking out one.
"Good, now find out what your ability is." said Jeremy.
"hmmm......let me start with superhero basics." said Mason.
"That's a start." said Jeremy.
"If I was a simple superhero, what would I have." thought Mason.
"Superstrengh!" yelled Odd.
"Yeah! Let me try that." said Mason.
"Just say "strength" to activate that program." said Jeremy.
Mason looked around until he found a rock.
"uuuuuhhhhhh....strength?" said Mason.
At that moment, Mason lifted the huge rock off the ground and then put it back.
"Well, that settles that." said Mason.
"Now get in your vehicle." said Jeremy.
Mason did what he was told and slipped into his vehicle.
"It is motorized, so if you push forward on the handles, it should start." said Jeremy.
Mason pushed forward the handles and the wheel started moving.
"Push them harder to go faster." explained Jeremy.
Mason pushed the handlebars harder and sure enough he went faster.
"With this we could get Aelita to the tower twice as fast." said Mason.
"Don't get cocky. it's all about strategy, and what XANA sends our way." said Jeremy.
"Bring me back in Jeremy, i've learned enough." said Mason.
"Really, that's all?" asked Jeremy.
"Yeah, i'll have to learn the rest on my own." smiled Mason.
"Allright, if you insist." said Jeremy.
After a quick minute, Mason was brought back from the scanners.
"How was it?" asked Aelita.
"Great, with this much speed and power that my vehicle and ability grants, we could get to the tower pronto."cheered Mason.
"But first we need to get some sleep." said Yumi.
"Hmmmm.... good point." joked Mason.
"Of coarse Jeremy will be staying up finding William." smirked Odd.
"Off to bed with all of you." said Jeremy fatherly.
"Good night Einstein." said Ulrich.
"Nighty night." yawned Jeremy.
When they got to the bridge of the factory Ulrich held Mason back.
"Mason, what do you think of our situation?" asked Ulrich.
"The situation speaks for itself, lose and XANA will control the world." said Mason.
"Excellent, so you know that means no fooling around right?" asked Ulrich.
"Yeah, I will have to be reminded of that every so often." said Mason.
"Good, now lets go back to the dorms." said Ulrich.
It started to rain when they got to the dorms and just before Mason went in he heard a meow in the corner.
