Chapter 22: Web of Reunions
Yeah took me a while to get this up sorry......plz review!!
It was now Monday January 5th and also all of Kadic was back in school for it long winter break.
"Well, I'm going to miss the extra sleep!" complained Odd yawning and then scratching his long, gravity defying hair.
"Also a very strange break you might add." commented Yumi.
"Speaking of weird... where are Max and Apollo, and Mason at that matter?" pondered Ulrich looking around his friends.
"Mason said something about getting them registered for school." yawned Odd now rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Then we should be heading over to breakfast ourselves while he gets the two registered!" laughed Aelita.
"I can't right now I still got to work out some minor bugs on the Super Computer." commented Jeremy.
"Your always busy!" replied Aelita with some aggression in her voice.
Meanwhile in the Principal's office, the wise old Mr. Delmas was organizing the papers for Max and Apollo.
"So Mr. Maximilian, you are going to be scheduled with Miss Yumi?" questioned the gray-beared principal through his thick glasses.
"Yes, but its Max sir" replied Max in a monotonus tone in his low voice.
"And Apollo, you'll be scheduled with Mr. Hiroki am I correct?" asked Mr. Delmas to the worried looking Apollo.
"y-yes sir!" said Apollo in a polite tone in his high, cheerful voice.
"All your papers are organized and you can start going to your classes immediately!" smiled Mr. Delmas putting papers into a folder, and then putting them in a file cabinet.
"Great! Now Lets go!" smiled Mason pushing the others out the door.
"Why in such a hurry?" asked Max being shoved by Mason.
"Because.....we got to get to breakfast without...any intrusions." huffed Mason still pushing them down the long hallway.
"HEY LARRY!" smirked a tough voice behind Mason.
"Like that..... Chamael had to announce my nick name to the world huh...." sighed Mason.
Mason turned around, and to his horror it was Rex.
"Ehhh...hiya Rex." awkwardly smiled Mason.
Mason blinked in astonishment as he noticed a now important factor. He was now taller and bigger than Rex, now the tables were turned and Mason had the better hand. He also noticed that Rex was happy, and had a ego grin on his smug face.
"Guess what LARRY!" smiled Rex.
"What Rex?" sighed Mason as he gave him a glare clearly stating he didn't like to be called that blaspheme of a nick name.
"I'm over all the other girls, and a pipsqueaks like you don't need get in my way anymore!" snarled Rex.
"Who's your next target?" huffed Max attempting to get into the conversation with the other two competitors.
"F.Y.I emo kid, Brynja is back!" smirked Rex.
"Who?" asked the trio of puzzled boys.
"Never mind, the less you 'squeaks know, the less competition I have!" laughed Rex walking away.
"Don't we need to go to something you call "breakfast" so we can eat?" asked Apollo.
"Oh yeah! Let's go!" smiled Mason leading the others to the dining hall.
At the dining hall the others had started to eat their breakfast. Max, Apollo, and the sun blond haired boy came in.
"Were going to need a bigger table soon." laughed Odd.
Max and Apollo sat down in between Mason and Odd as they slowly started to eat the eggs on their trays.
"You can talk you know.." clarified Odd as he stuffed bacon into his large mouth.
"O-okay...I'll start." smiled Apollo.
"Okay fire away!" smiled Mason drinking some coffee.
"Why were so so happy when that big guy said about losing interest in other girls?" asked Apollo in a happy voice directly to Mason.
Mason's coffee sprayed out of his mouth and landed on all over his food and the table. The others laughed as he nervously wiped off the table, and as he wiped the access coffee of his mouth and nose. Mason tried to think of a lie and very fast.
"Be-because! He was a pain in the ass when he was territorial about certain girls." swallowed Mason lying.
"O-oh yeah!" stuttered Mason trying to change the subject. "He said something about a Bynja?" commented Mason taking another drink from his coffee.
At that moment Odd was gone. while the others were shaking their heads.
"What was that about?" questioned Apollo with a concerned look on his face.
"Oh no. Here we go again with this." moaned Yumi grabbing Ulrich and leading him out, as well to the same with Aelita and Jeremie.
"What was that about?" questioned Max.
"I have no clue at the slightest." replied Mason with honesty in his loud voice.
"Lets go find out then!" smiled Apollo.
The trio walked out to where several other guys where smiling and watching as were a few girls wanting to know her secret. They nudged in where they saw a girl with long blond hair standing and absorbing attention. Even the trios closest friends were watching Odd as he valiantly walked to the center.
"That's it?" asked Max and Mason.
"She's pretty." smiled Apollo.
Max started laughing. Mason coughed and then began his small lesson to Apollo.
"Apollo, there's one thing you need to know...NEVER judge a book by it's cover." said Mason in his teacher voice.
"Oh...." gasped Apollo.
"Hey Brynja remember me?" hopefully asked Odd.
"Yeah.....your Odd!" smiled Brynja.
"Uh huh!" smiled the pleased Odd.
"All right! Go to your classes!" warned Jim shooing the crowd away from the eye-gluing attraction.
Everyone hurried to their classes as Odd was staring at Brynja with cow eyes. Mason leaned over to Ulrich.
"Who's she?" asked Mason pointing at her.
"Huh? That's Brynja...why? You have the hots for her." smirked Ulrich.
"Wah? No way man!" gasped Mason.
"I can easily see that my students are starting to become off task, so if you don't be quiet I'll have to give you your test today." warned Mrs. Hertz.
"Yes ma'am." sighed the two boys.
Mrs. Hertz brought a out a gigantic box with large spiders inside.
"As you can see class for years we have been experimenting with Brazilian Wandering spiders in hope to create a anti-venom, which we hope will be able to inherit the antidote with genetics once it is shoot within our systems." explained Mrs. Hertz placing the large container onto the table.
"Isn't it true that those spiders are the deadliest in the world?" asked Emily.
"Yes, but don't worry...there is no way they can break through this box." laughed Mrs. Hertz patting the box.
After that sentence the electronic projector short circuited and flashed off.
"OH darn this old technology!" cursed the teacher knocking on the projector.
The bell rang and the students were allowed to their fifth period classes.
"That's a bit too dangerous to have the deadliest spiders inside a classroom." huffed Emily.
"We aren't exactly on the safe side about this either." replied Mason.
"Start getting to your fifth class now people!" yelled Jim walking through the hallway.
Meanwhile a certain XANA came through the projector and went inside the spider's cage. A few hours later everyone has huddled around Mrs. Hertz room. The Lyoko warriors shoved to see the box on the floor in pieces.
"What the hell happened?" asked Mason.
"Someone knocked down the spider box and took all the spiders!" smiled Millie snapping a photo for the paper.
"And who ever did it is in huge trouble!" snapped Hertz picking up the pieces.
"Well that's interesting..." commented Max coming to the opening.
"Oh my gosh....that's horrible! They could be anywhere by now!" squealed Emily.
"Jeremie, do you think XANA has anything to do with it!" whispered Yumi nto her cellphone."
"Probably, I have a corrupt tower so get the others, and meet me here." said Jeremie hanging up."
Everyone started to leave when a scream rang out, and Jim hit the floor. It was one of the spiders.....not twice its size and it jumped on Mason, and bit him too!
"SOMEONE GET THEM TO THE INFIRMARY!" yelled another teacher helping up Jim.
"Let's go!" said the others turning around.
"What about us?" smiled Apollo.
"Come with us!" said Aelita beckoning them.
They rushed toward the factory while the other students got Mason and Jim to the infirmary where they're were two others who got bitten.
"I feel sleepy." smirked Mason yawning.
"You have to stay awake Mason!" said Yolanda "You! help me get these people cooled down." said the nurse pointing to Emily.
"You don't have any anti venom?" questioned Emily.
"We used the last of it on the others, and they're right now sending some more." replied the nurse wetting a towel.
"Now Bynja isn't getting any attention." laughed Mason.
Meanwhile at the factory the others just got their and were heading to the factory.
"Allright all of you except Max and Apollo go to the scanners." commented Jeremy.
"Why not us?" questioned the duo at the same time.
"Because if we sent you back XANA might take you.....again." replied Jeremy typing in coordinates into the computer.
"OK.." said Apollo sitting down on the floor.
Jeremy typed in the coordinates for the forest sector and sent the warriors to Lyoko.
"Hey were here Jeremy!" yelled Odd.
"Okay get to the tower and fast!" exclaimed Jeremy.
"Gotcha!" replied Yumi.
Jeremy looked around when he heard something above him, and he saw three of the spiders right above him about to strike. He jumped out of his chair before the spider jumped on him.
"Let's get out of here!" said Apollo running away.
"Jeremy......JEREMY! You there!" yelled Ulrich.
"Where did he go?" asked Odd.
"That doesn't matter right now...look!" cried Aelita pointing up ahead.
There was two Tarantulas coming right towards him. The Lyoko warriors found some ground to secure and started shooting at the large insects.
Meanwhile back at the clinic more and more people were coming in, and the anti venom didn't come yet.
"The medic says that there's a road block with some weird looking police so they can't get through." said Yolanda hagning up the phone.
"Then we need to stay here." replied Emliy throwing cool towels on everyone.
"H-hey Jim! I have a dirty joke for you!" laughed Mason.
"W-what?" moaned Jim.
".....Mud!" laughed Mason while Jim started to laugh.
Emily rolled a towel and snapped it at Mason.
"AH! Dammit Emily!" moaned Mason rubbing his red cheek.
"Get a hold of yourself Mason!" warned Emily arming the towel for another snapping.
"JEREMY WERE ARE YOU!" cried Odd shooting arrows at one of the mutated spiders.
A sky was dead silent as the warriors dove behind some rocks as the Tarantulas came closer and closer.
"We need to hurry and fast!" said Aelita.
"What ne need is our vehicles!" replied Odd shooting some arrows at one of the Tarantulas.
"Even if we had vehicles it wouldn't make much difference, the Tarantulas are more aggressive then ever!" shouted Yumi throwing her fans at one of the Tarantulas
"Or a plan would be nice!" moaned Ulrich.
"Wait...I think I have an idea!" a smiled Aelita.
Jeremy, Max, and Apollo were on the run from the deadly spiders. Everywhere they turned they were more and more spiders to be found.
"We should head back to the school." suggested Max trying to think at the moment.
"And get everyone else bitten...not a chance!" replied Jeremy.
Jeremy hurried and dialed a number he could think of, and it was Mason's number he called. Mason's phone rang on the table Mason reached for it and answered.
"Hello?" creaked Mason in a sick voice.
"Well you sound horrible!" gasped Jeremy.
"I think XANA possessed some police and created a road block so meds' can't get through!" croaked Mason.
"Hang on I'll send Max and Apollo to go get it." said Jeremy hanging up.
"Who was that?" asked Yolanda.
"I got some friends to go get the anti venom." yawned Mason falling asleep.
"MASON WAKE UP!" shouted Yolanda.
Mason woke up with a surprised expression on his face.
"Okay ready Yumes?" asked Ulrich.
"Yeah, go Odd!" shouted Yumi.
Odd ran as fast as he could and lead the Tarantulas away from their line of fire. Then on signal Ulrich super sprinted and stabbed two of the large spiders in the back, making them explode.
"Run Aelita!" shouted Ulrich.
Aelita ran as fast as she could until she reached the hollow tree roots. She looked around the corner to see if there were any other enemies. As Yumi planned there were two more Tarantulas waiting at the front.
Odd ran in front of Aelita and purposly missed them. The Tarantulas ran after Odd who darted for the left side of the tower. Aelita ran up to another tree and hid behind it.
Meanwhile Max just got to the medical van and some of the medics were getting out and giving him three marked cardboard boxes.
"Hey no one is to be transporting goods!" said one of the officers coming over to the van.
"Sir kids at Kadic need these medical goods!" said one of the medics.
"I've been given my orders so put them back in now!" ordered the police man.
Max looked closer and the eye of XANA was flickering in the police man's eyes.
"I knew it." mumbled Max.
"Kid put those boxes back now!" ordered the police man.
Max took a break for it and darted off to the woods carrying two cardboard boxes. The police man pursued Max while the medics were cheering Max on to get to the other students.
"Jeremy, what are we going to do?" asked Apollo nervously.
Jeremy grabbed a lead pipe and handed it to Apollo.
"Go kill them." ordered Jeremy.
"Why me?!?" whimpered Apollo.
"Because..I told you so." smiled Jeremy.
Apollo moaned and ran towards the spiders smashing them with the pipe. He started to swing randomly killing many spiders, and when the spiders stopped for the second the two ran for their lives.
"Aelita get into the tower." shouted Odd shooting more arrows at the Tarantulas.
The Tarantulas got lucky and devirtualized Odd. Ulrich sped up and sliced on in the back, but another turned around and devirtualized Ulrich.
"Good...now Aelita run for it!" ordered Yumi throwing her lazer sharped fans at another enemy monster.
"Okay Yumi!" said Aelita starting to run.
Aelita ran up to the tower and went inside. At the same time Max got to the Kadic area, but the cop caught him before he could get to the infirmary.
"Let me go!" yelled Max.
"Got 'cha!" evilly laughed the cop putting handcuffs on Max.
Also Jeremy and Apollo were at the end of a dead end when the spiders started to creep to where they were at. Also the infirmary was now full of people sweating and swelling up.
"Hurry up you guys." coughed Mason.
"This reminds me of the time I w-was a secret agent to her majesty's secret service... but I'd rather not talk about it." laughed Jim.
"Hang on everyone." said Emily putting a new towel on Jim.
"Y-you know what? Your very-very-very beautiful....all three of you." slurred Mason.
"Yolanda! He's hallucinating.....knock some sense into him!" cried Emily smacking Mason with the towel.
"That isn't any of the usual symptoms, but we can't be too careful...I'll get him some water." said Yolanda.
"Aelita this is the home stretch...run for it!" yelled Yumi devirtualizing.
Aelita ran inside the tower and activated CODE LYOKO and deactivated the tower.
"Ahhhh!" cried Jeremy.
All of a sudden the spiders stopped in place and fell to the ground dead.
"Aelita did it!" sighed Jeremy sliding to the ground.
In the Infirmary every one instantly healed.
"Ehhhhh...." moaned all the patients.
"Return to the past now!!" said Aelita typing in the combination of keys with the others beside her.
The white globe soon devoured the school and the others. A few seconds later they found themselves in Mrs. Hertz room as she was taking out the spiders.
"Isn't that a little dangerous?" asked Emily.
"There's no way that those spiders could get out of that box." assured Mason.
"That's correct Mason, this is a plastic that is very durable, clear plastic which cannot be shattered. They use this at zoos so we can look at dnagerous animals." explained the teacher tapping on the box.
"What a relief at that." sighed Odd.
