It's funny how easy it is to finish a chapter when you actually know where you are going. I'm gonna just write what I'm feeling from now on. Me writing because I'm inspired makes for best quality. I don't own Code Lyoko, and I hope you enjoy.

Aelita made her daily rounds. Every day she would check every tower to see whether it was activated or not, and nearly every day Xana would activate a tower after she had already checked. Aelita had to get creative with the way she checked the towers to make sure Xana couldn't actually launch an attack on Earth. She would constantly double back or switch sectors. She and Xana were both computer programs, but Xana was more prone to following a pattern. Aelita had to be erratic to stay on top of things. It was a game they played.

After switching sectors 15 times, she settled on the Ice Sector, northwest section. She immediately spotted an activated tower. All that stood between her and the tower was a flat sheet of ice, no tricks or anything.

"I see we're still slow as ever." Aelita laughed a little and then took of into a sprint. If she took too long Xana would probably do something to try to stop her.

Like summoning some Bloks for example.

"Oh no, you've got to be kidding me, I forgot those!" Aelita took a few steps back and then ran back into the Way Tower. "Jeremie, you there? There are monsters blocking the tower, and I need help."

No response.

"Jeremie?"

She guessed he wasn't there. He was probably in class...

Jeremie tapped his pen on the desk. Mrs. Hertz was teaching...something. He couldn't tell what, he was distracted. Yeah sure, he had found a way to fight monsters, but Xana still remained a threat, according to Aelita. Apparently this stupid program could connect to other networks through activated towers and attack the Earth. It had a grudge against humanity for some unknown reason, just like every science fiction story ever.

The way he figured, Jeremie would either have to find a way to wipe out Xana or get Aelita out of the Supercomputer, and then turn it off. He refused to turn the computer off without Aelita. He wouldn't just let her die.

Aelita tried the video chat Jeremie had set up, nothing. She tried his cell phone, nothing. Jeremie had it on silent so that he wouldn't get in trouble in class. She left the tower and tried to run around the Bloks in order to reach the activated tower. After losing 80 life points, she returned to the way tower.

"Fine, Jeremie. Don't answer me, but if nothing is done in half an hour, Xana will be able to attack."

Hours passed, and Jeremie still had class.

"Attention students, attention! Please evacuate the campus immediately."

Jeremie looked up and raised an eyebrow. The voice belonged to Jim...strange, usually Principal Delmas made all the announcements. With a shrug, Jeremie got up, gathered his belongings, and left with the rest of his class. They all lined up outside the front gate. There was a lot of confusion, nobody really knew why this was happening.

"Hey did you here? The principal got electrocuted! It was a pretty bad shock, too." It was Milly, the main journalist on campus, two grades bellow him...he was pretty sure. Electrocution? Didn't Aelita say that Xana worked primarily with electricity? Jeremie checked his phone...there were 20 texts from Aelita. He called the number the texts had come from, it rang a few times before Aelita picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi Aelita, it's Jeremie. Did you need something?"

"Xana is attacking, and I need help getting to the tower. Pick up your friend and get over here, please."

"I don't know if I can get away. We're in the middle of an evacuation, but...I'll try." Jeremie hung up and looked around. Purple, purple, where was there purple? That was the fastest way to look for Odd.

"HEY! Make way!" Jeremie looked up, it was a paramedic. Odd Della Robbia was strapped to the gurney.

"Whada we got? Whatda we got?" Another paramedic asked, helping pull the gurney into the ambulance.

"Severe electrical burns throughout the body, signs of seizure."

"Right."

Electrical burns? Was it Xana? Great, now Jeremie had to find someone else to fight in place of Odd. He looked around real quick and saw a boy in a sleeveless shirt. He was the one who practiced martial arts all the time. Stern, was it? He would have to do.

"Hey, Stern. Listen, there isn't really any time to explain, but you have to come with me."

"What?" Ulrich turned to Jeremie. "What does a genius like you need with a grunt like me?"

"What?"

"Don't think nobody can hear you mumbling under your breath..." Ulrich coldly turned away. Jeremie grabbed his shoulder and turned him back around.

"Unless you want everyone at school to get the same treatment Della Robbia just got, I suggest you come with me." Ulrich glared at Jeremie's hand on his shoulder and shoved it off.

"I'm kinda in the middle of something, so I would appreciate it if you would just shove off."

A bolt of lightning passed between their faces and hit Herb Pinchon who fell to the ground and began to convulse. The entire student body was in hysterics, screaming and running into the streets. The teachers tried to calm down but it didn't work.

Jeremie and Ulrich turned to the source of the lightning, and saw a ball of lightning with about the diameter of an adult human's arm span. Even Ulrich was smart enough to realize lightning didn't do that naturally.

"Ok, I give! I'll go with you! Geez, what is that thing? A creepy science project of yours?" Ulrich asked.

"Heh...I wish I could do something like that." The ball of lightning shot down Mrs. Hertz. "Okay...maybe not. Still, there isn't time to explain, just come with me."

"Hey, if he's going, I'm going too." Yumi Ishiyama stepped out from behind Ulrich. "I don't really understand what's going on here, but if I can help stop that thing, I want to do it."

"Yeah, ok, fine." Jeremie rushed into the school, towards the woods.

"Hey! What are you-" Whoever was calling out for the had their voice drowned out by the crowd of students screaming.

Ulrich and Yumi got to the factory and doubted the elevator's stability and doubted the plausibility of a virtual world inside a supercomputer and the existence of Xana and then they got inside the scanners anyways and fell on their butts and thought their outfits were very strange, but I mean come on we have all read that sequence about a dozen times. We're skipping ahead.

"So let me get this straight, Jeremie. You brought us to this world to fight an evil computer program capable of destroying the planet so we can keep it at bay long enough to bring this computer program girl into the real world?"

"That...about sums it up, yeah."

"Well, it does come with super powers." Ulrich commented.

"And Aelita seems nice." Yumi said.

"Good, then we're all in agreement! Now get going to the tower, north by northwest."

There were three Bloks. Ulrich used his SuperSprint and ran in a big triangle around them, trying to confuse them, but with a flick of the wrist Yumi was able to destroy all three in one hit. Xana was relatively weak at this point, and his monsters were easy to beat.

"Impressive." Ulrich slowed down and looked at Yumi.

"Thanks. It's all in the wrist."

"Thanks, you two. I'll go take care of that tower, now." Aelita disappeared into the tower.

"Jeremie..." Aelita's voice rang through the computer lab.

"Yes?"

"You said a lot of people got hurt by Xana, right?"

"Yeah...including Odd."

"Ok, I know a program that will make it all better. I'm going to activate it as soon as the tower is deactivated, ok?"

"Um...well...ok, I guess I'll trust you." Jeremie scratched the back of his head.

"Well, here I go."

Aelita ascended to the second platform and typed in the code, deactivating the tower. She then launched a return to the past which honestly...she had never done before. The man who was there before had told her about it, and to only use it if something really needed to be undone. Well, Aelita's new friend was hurt. That was reason enough.

White light engulfed the area, a white light that promised adventure and the unknown.

Ok I admit I got a little tired toward the end but come on we all know how this part goes. Please review if you enjoyed it, your words mean a lot to me.
