Discliamer: I do not own Code: Lyoko or Danny Phantom. If I did, I would have made the box ghost annoy Jim until he went more insane than he already is.

A/N: Hey, peoples of the net! I am here to bring you chapter 3. I would do a recap of the events that have happened so far, but you could always reread what has happened so far instead. That, and not much has really happened yet. Right now I'm just in the positioning phase of this story. By the end of this chapter everybody shall be in place for the real action to begin. Some of you may be wondering why I decided to do a Danny Phantom/Code: Lyoko crossover as my second fanfic. The answer is very simple. I figured that Danny Phantom and Code: Lyoko actually would go together very well. But I decided to go a little bit against the grain by sending the Lyoko gang to Amity Park instead of doing the tried and true method of sending Danny and friends to France. I decided to take an unusual approach to things, and apparently it is fairly well received. But enough of the look at what goes on in my twisted mind; let's continue to what you really came here to see…the chapter. Please R&R, I need the reviews to power my Review Cannon to take over both Code: Lyoko and Danny Phantom.

Amity Park International Airport
"Alright, we have finally arrived," Odd exclaimed.

"Heel boy; we don't want you wetting yourself in excitement yet," Cid joked. Odd just frowned while the rest of the group laughed.

"So where are we going from here," Xavier asked, looking at Damon expectantly.

"The place is right next door to the Fenton Works. You'll know it when you see it," Damon explained.

"It's a good thing that the French government is paying for our stay here, but they decided not to pay for our food," Ulrich sighed.

"They probably didn't want to go bankrupt trying to feed Odd and Cassandra," Erethyr joked.

"Come on, we don't eat that much," Cassandra protested.

"If it weren't for you two, world hunger would have already been fixed," Aelita commented, getting a round of laughs from the entire group.

"Come on guys, we need to set up our new home," Jeremy delared as the group got in a taxi. It took them about ten minutes to reach their new home.

"You really weren't joking Damon," Xavier gasped when he saw the brick building with a sign say Fenton Works. It had a huge metal object on the top of it with gadgets going everywhere.

"If there's one thing that can be said about these Fentons, they aren't humble," Jeremy gasped.

"Realize, they are the best ghost hunters in this town," Damon stated. He was nonplussed by the building since he had seen it in his dreams before.

"I'm just wondering whether or not this Inviso-Bill is really as evil as they say he is on the news," Aelita stated concernedly.

"He's not," Cassandra said off-handedly. The group just let her comment slide. She had a lot of insight as well, but it stemmed from something other than what Damon had. After all, she had been truly dead once before.

They walked into the simple looking grey two-story building. When they entered, they saw that all their belongings and some furniture had already been brought in for them. They silently set up all of their equipment and went down to the new super computer.

"Let's take a look at what we have here," Jeremy stated as he sat in front of the monitors. He turned on the holo-map and the new world was unveiled to all that were present.

"It appears as though we have four entirely new sectors here," Xavier observed.

"That does make sense, after all this place is completely unattached to the net," Damon stated.

"So what are these new sectors, Einstein," Odd inquired.

"We've got a vocano, a swamp, a prairie, and an underwater sector," Jeremy declared, "It seems as though since this place isn't connected to the net, the digital sea won't delete you."

"That's always good to know," Ulrich stated.

"There seems to be a virtualization program, but no scanners," Jeremy declared, sounding very confused.

"That would be my department," Damon proclaimed, cracking his knuckles. He immediately starting creating a scanner out of some spare parts that he had brought with him.

"While he's doing that, we should set about exploring this town," Aelita declared.

"You guys go on ahead; I'll help out Damon," Erethyr stated.

"Yeah, he might need a little bit of help setting up the scanner," Xavier offered.

"Alright guys, but we will need to enroll in the high school by tomorrow," Jeremy shouted as the bulk of the group headed out the door.

"How long do you think that it is going to take them," Cid asked.

"Knowing Damon's technical prowess, I'd wager about two hours to set up a scanner," Jeremy declared.

"Oh come on, he can't be that skilled…can he," Cid asked.

"Actually, from what I've gathered, he has been trying to come up with a new scanner prototype over the last four months," Cassandra stated. There were some hot girls walking across the street from them, and Odd decided to do a wolf whistle in their direction. They looked and giggled at him.

"I think that I'm already starting to like this place," Odd declared. They wandered around town until they came upon a mall.

"This looks like a good place to sample the local customs," Ulrich declared.

"Yeah, we might even be able to sample the local food while we're here," Odd stated.

"Hmm, yeah; Odd's treat," Cassandra declared, rubbing her belly.

"Do you two ever think about anything besides food," Aelita proclaimed, rolling her eyes.

"But we're huungrrry," Odd and Cassandra replied. They looked at each other and laughed.

When they entered they looked at the directory and were amazed by the selection of stores. "Let's meet up at the food court in about an hour," Cid stated, "I've got to see the selection of games they have stateside."

"A Wiccan specialty store; I'm there," Cassandra declared.

"I'm right with you Cid," Odd stated.

"I'll join you two," Ulrich stated.

"Jeremy, why don't we head to the techno shop? I might be able to find some more beats to mix," Aelita inquired.

"Alright, but after that I'd love to see the computers that they have here," Jeremy proclaimed. The group of friends split up to check out their selected stores.

"Wow, this store has some of the books that I've been looking for back in France," Cassandra gasped as she leafed through the selection.

"Not very many people come in here," came a voice from behind Cassandra. She turned around only to see Sam Manson looking at some of the other books.

"Who are you," Cassandra asked.

"The name's Sam. I haven't seen you around here, you new in town?"

"Yes, I just came here today. My name's Cassandra and it is a pleasure to meet you."

"So, you're into Wicca are you," Sam inquired.

"Yeah, I've been into it for a couple of years. How about you," Cassandra replied.

"Nah, Wicca's not really my thing. I'm more into the punk goth scene. I just occasionally look in here to see if there's anybody else here in town that isn't afraid to express their individuality," Sam responded.

"Back in Saint Louis, then again in France, being an individual has never really been a problem for me or my friends," Cassandra explained.

"Hmm, I'd like to meet your friends sometime," Sam mused.

"Well, most of them came to the mall too. We decided to go exploring around town and we ended up coming here," Cassandra stated.

"This place can be fairly dangerous, what with a ghost attack happening about every day," Sam proclaimed.

"I'm not a stranger to danger, or ghosts for that matter," Cassandra responded.

"I'll take your word for it," Sam stated. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had seen this girl's face somewhere on the news before. And her being from France seemed to strengthen that feeling. She just couldn't place it no matter how hard she tried.

At the arcade Cid, Ulrich, and Damon were taking turns on House of the Dead 2.

"Zombie scum, prepare to meet your maker," Cid declared as he started shooting at his pixilated enemies.

"And who would their maker be," Ulrich inquired.

"To be frank, I really don't know," Cid proclaimed as he destroyed two zombie axemen.

"Who's Frank," Odd inquired.

"I don't know, he's just some random guy I met on the street one day," Cid replied, stealing Ulrich's kill.

"Just how often do you play this game," Ulrich inquired.

"Let's just say that I beat it and got a perfect on every stage," Cid stated as he turned his back on the screen and shot over his shoulder without even looking. He hit his mark every time.

"Show off," Odd huffed.

"Wow, it looks like you really like that game," somebody said from around the corner.

Odd got a good look at this guy. He felt like he had seen him before, but just couldn't place where it had been. "Who are you?"

"I'm Danny, and I've never seen any of you around here before. I think that I would recognize a guy that was that good at House of the Dead 2."

"I'm Ulrich, they short guy in purple would be Odd, and the show off is Cid."

"Cool, mind if I play," Danny asked.

"Go right on ahead. Cid here won't let you get a shot in edgewise," Ulrich declared, handing the light gun over to Danny. He took it and had a shoot off with Cid. They were evenly matched. Cid actually had to look at the screen to try and hit the enemies before Danny did.

"You're pretty good," Cid stated.

"You're not so bad yourself," Danny declared, "So where did you guys move from?"

"We're from France, nice place," Cid replied before muttering under his breath, "If you ignore the evil AIs trying to take over the world.

"What was that," Danny inquired.

"Oh nothing," Cid responded, "Hey, were supposed to be meeting with the rest of our friends at the food court in about an hour. Do you want to meet them?"

"Sure, after I kick your ass at this game," Danny challenged.

"Bring it on," Cid stated.

Twenty minutes later, Jeremy and Aeltia had arrived at the computer store. Jeremy was disappointed at what they had to offer. "My laptop is higher performance than most of these 'high end' desktops," Jeremy frowned.

"At least we might be able to find some stuff for Damon to tinker with," Aelita said hopefully.

"What do you mean that this is the best PDA that you have here?! Come on, my toaster comes with more options than these," came a voice by the counter.

"If his toaster has as many options as Damon's does, then we might have found somebody as teched out as our friend," Jeremy joked concernedly. He had been a little bit worried when Damon showed them that his toaster could burn music onto CDs. Aelita and Jeremy decided to see who was at the counter.

"I told you before Tucker; there just isn't any software sophisticated enough to make your singing sound good," the manager sighed exasperatedly.

"Wow, you just got burned," Aelita laughed.

Tucker turned to her and immediately started his old tricks. "And who would you be? And more importantly, why haven't I seen you around here before?"

"Woah, back off Cassanova," Jeremy proclaimed, getting in between Tucker and Jeremy.

"What, is she your girlfriend," Tucker inquired.

"As a matter of fact she is," Jeremy huffed.

"My name's Aelita, and this is Jeremy. It is very nice to meet you Tucker."

"The pleasure's all mine," Tucker stated.

"We overheard what you said about your toaster, and I think that you might get along just fine with one of our other friends. Too bad he decided not to come with us," Aelita stated.

"I'm afraid to ask, but what kind of options does your toaster have," Jeremy inquired, almost afraid of what he might hear.

"For one thing, it has a GPS system," Tucker started.

"You don't need to say anything else," Jeremy cut him off, "Our friend Damon has a toaster that burns music onto CDs."

"You have got to be joking," Tucker said incredulously.

"That's what we said to him before he showed us," Aelita proclaimed.

"Well, I've got to meet my friends at the food court here in a few minutes. You're welcome to join us," Tucker offered.

"You know, it might just be a good idea to gain a few friends before we start at Casper High tomorrow," Jeremy declared.

"Let's go there now," Tucker proclaimed as he led the way. A few minutes later, they were at the food court, and all their friends had already gathered togther.

"Wow, it looks like our two groups already met each other," Sam stated as Tucker, Aelita, and Jeremy walked up to their table. Sam seemed to recognize the pink-haired girl from the same place that she recognized Cassandra from, but likewise couldn't place where. The two groups introduced themselves to each other and quickly seemed to become friends.

"You know, now that I think about it," Cid proclaimed, "In a town famous for all of its ghosts, naming the high school 'Casper High' seems kinda funny to me."

"Yeah well, having a boarding school nearby an old factory also seems kinda funny to me too," Danny laughed. This caused something to click in Sam's head.

"Now I know where I've seen all of you before; you're national heroes over in France! You've saved the country from attacks twice before, haven't you," Sam inquired.

"Well, actually we've saved France a lot more than that, but those are the only two that anybody in the entire world remembers," Odd declared. He just got death glares from the rest of his friends except Cassandra.

"Calm down guys," Cassandra said, "It's not like it's a big secret anymore. Just as long as not too many people figure out the connection between where we came from and who we are, we should be alright. And as for you, Danny, you look really familiar. You look a lot like Inviso-Bill from the news. I know that he isn't a bad ghost, it is just that he took the fall for another ghost unintentionally."

"Is she usually like this," Tucker whispered in Odd's ear.

"Yeah, that's what I think is her best attribute," Odd whispered back dreamily.

"Aw man, don't say that she's taken too," Tucker groaned.

"Afraid so," Ulrich proclaimed.

"Man, is there anybody in your group that isn't taken," Tucker pouted.

"Cid and Xavier aren't, but something tells me that they aren't exactly your type," Jeremy joked, getting a round of laughter from all of the friends.

"Well, anyway; why don't you stop by our place tomorrow after school? We should be situated by then," Aelita offered.

"Sounds good to me," Danny declared, "Where are all of you staying at?"

"We're staying right next door to the Fenton Works," Ulrich declared.

"So you are the people that moved in. That is a big coincidence," Danny proclaimed.

"Yeah, it actually is. It sounds kinda like something that a lazy author would put into a story that he made up on the spot," Odd joked. The group of newfound friends just laughed harder at Odd's crazy joke.

Lyoko Gang HQ
Erethyr, Xavier, and Damon were standing in front of a set of five new types of scanners. These scanners appeared to be a simple platfrom hooked into the super computer with a ring around it.

"Are you sure that it is going to work," Erethyr asked.

"Without a doubt," Damon stated confidently, "If you guys are having any serious doubts, then I could always be the guniea pig."

"Will the virtualization program work like it did back in France," Xavier asked.

"Yes, in fact it should be even easier to use now," Damon declared.

"Alright, then I'll give you a quick jaunt over to the prairie sector and back again. Not long enough to get a feel for the sector, but long enough for a test run," Xavier declared.

"Sounds good to me," Damon proclaimed.

Damon stepped ont oone of the platforms and Xavier started the virtualization process. The ring around the platform floated up, bathing Damon in a green light as it went. When it reached its apex, a green wall of light shimmered down onto the platform. After a few moments, the ring floated back down to the ground, revealing that Damon had disappeared. Xavier made sure that everything had went according to plan before bringing Damon back. The process that had virtualized Damon happened again, except in reverse.

"See, what did I tell you; absolutely nothing to worry about," Damon exclaimed.

"And that really was a nice touch to have the ring cleanse the body of any abnormalities on the way back. Good job," Xavier proclaimed.

"Thank you, I'll be here for the duration," Damon stated, bowing before invisible fans. The three friends just laughed and went back upstairs to set up all of the equipment and furniture before their friends got home.
