So, I've pretty much decided not to include another OC. I figured that this is about me, not some character I created, and I didn't want to get distacted by another character. The more I fleshed out his character, the more I realized that he wasn't ready to be put in. I need a long time before he's due for a reveal, as he currently is about as interesting as a wooden board.

Granted, I could easily fit him into the story for a similar reason that I'm in, but it doesn't feel right.

This story is about me, as narcissistic as it sounds, and the Lyoko Warriors. I'm going to keep it that way

Now, I MIGHT change my mind, and lut him in later in season 1, but if he isn't in by False Start, kiss the OC idea goodbye. But, to make up for it, I've got a rather good idea for simething in the distant future. I won't reveal what season, but hopefully it'll make up for it.

Also, I have a tumblr now! I will ocasionally be posting story updates, but I'm mostly going to be making fun of games. I'm doing Code Lyoko: Get Ready to Virtualize right now, as it's quite easy to make fun of.

Chapter 11: End of Take

The group and me were all in Jeremy's room. The school was apparently going to screening a movie in the auditorium, and we were just waiting fir Jeremy to finish up with his work.

"So, what's a movie?" Aelita asked.

"It's like series of moving pictures. At least, that's the best way I can describe it." I answered. "Sometimes they're really long too. People watch them for entertainment." Aelita nodded in understanding.

"Oh, I see. Well, I hope you all have fun watching it."

"You done yet, Einstein? I don't think I can wait much longer." Odd whined. He had been talking about the screening all morning.

"Just a few more seconds, and..." He hit the enter key and swiveled his chair to face us. "done. Let's go guys." He turned back to Aelita. "I'll talk to you later, ok?"

"Ok, bye Jeremy." Her face disappeared from the screen. Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, and I all gave a knowing look at one another, then gave it to Jeremy as he stood up.

"What? Don't give me that look!"

"So Jeremy, what's it feel like to be dating a computer?" I jokingly asked. He nervously looked down at the ground, his face turning a bright red. We all laughed, Odd giving a pat on the back to Jeremy.

"We're just messin' with ya, Einstein." Jeremy just walked over to the door.

"Can we go already?" He asked. We walked out of his dorm and went down the stairs, only to find Sissi and her cronies in front of us.

"Oh well if it isn't the Geek Squad." Sisi said with a smirk.

"Well if it isn't the Brat Brigade." I retorted back.

"Ooh, good one." Ulrich complimented. Sissi sent me a glared before softening her face at Ulrich.

"So uh, Ulrich? Do you want to sit with me at the movie?" She asked. Ulrich pretended to think about it, then shook his head.

"Oh sorry, I haven't lost enough neurons to consider it yet. Maybe in the distant never?" He joked. We all laughed as she stormed off. We made out way over to the auditorium and took our seats, me sitting next to Yumi at the end. Soon enough, the movie began

Later

As soon as the credits began to roll, we each stated our opinion.

"Totally. Ridiculous." Jeremy said, completely unimpressed by the movie.

"Wow... That was great!" Ulrich said. He had practically been silent the while movie, so I wasn't too surprised.

"I thought the special effects were pretty good, but, well, it wasn't scary enough." Yumi gave Odd and amused look.

"You're kidding! How come your teeth were chattering? For the sound effects?" We all couldn't help but laugh at that remark. I then let out an interested hum, catchung the attention if the others.

"Well, the plot was shallow, but I gotta give em' props for not making the alien CG." I said. Why Odd was terrified I have absolutely no idea. It wasn't even scary! I may have flinched once, but that was about it.

Then Mr. Delmas walked up on the stage and lights came back in. "Yes, dear students, your attention please. I would like you want to give a warm welcome to the director of the film you've just seen. And which we all found very... Interesting." Yeah, pretty sure the film wouldn't be allowed at my Middle School. They are so sensitive about everything! "And here he is now, James Finson, who is honoring us with his presence to discuss his work, and the fascinating field of cinema." Finson walked up onto the stage.

"Uh, that's right!" I rolled my eyes.

"And by discussing the field of cinema, he means completely winging it." I muttered.

"And I'm also looking for a location to shoot my new film." Finson continued, causing the majority of the audience to gasp. "In fact, I heard there's an old factory around here that no one uses anymore. I'm actually very interested in it." Alarm bells immediately went off when he said that for us.

"A factory? Oh no, not ours!" Jeremy realized.

Outside

"If this Finson guys finds out about the supercomputer, we're in trouble." Jeremy explained. Finson was currently giving out autographs, butnif course an autograph was the last thing any of us wanted from him.

"And even if they somehow missed the elevator, it'll be months before they're done in there!" I pointed out.

"And that's why we absolutely have to stop him from using it." Yumi agreed.

"Of course we do, but how?" Odd asked. Ulrich was leaning against the building, and looked at Finson in the window.

"Nothing to worry about! I've got an idea!" Ulrich informed us. Before we could even question him, he went inside the cafeteria.

"Why is it that whenever he says 'don't worry about it', I get worried?" Odd asked as Ulrich approached Finson. "And I mean WORRIED."

"Maybe it's due to the constant danger of a rouge virus hellbent on killing us all." I guessed. The others gave me a strange look. "What?"

"You really know how to kill a mood, Emily." Was all Odd said.

"Ahem, hello sir." Ulrich said to Finson. "That factory were talking about? I was wondering if you've already been there?"

"No, but I'm gonna start my scouting later today." Finson replied, handing Ulrich an autograph. Ulrich declined and continued.

"Well you see, me and my cousin know the place inside out, and I don't think you'll find better guides." My eyes widened at what he said.

"What the crap is he doing!?" I harshly whispered. Finson laughed at his request.

"It looks like everyone in the school has a lot of nerve. Alright, you and your cousin meet me inside of it in an hour."

As soon as he walked out, I went over to Ulrich and gave him my panicked face.

"What the hell was that!?"

"Calm down. I figured it might be better of two of us go." I folded my arms and gave my 'cousin' a pouty look.

"I don't like you."

Factory

Soon enough, Ulrich and I found ourselves swinging on the rope down to meet Finson. He was already impressed by our entrance.

"Well aren't you two brave little soldiers." He looked at me. "And you must be his cousin." He stuck out his hand, which I shook.

"I'm Emily." I said. He nodded, then looked around at the place.

"This is fantastic. It's even better than I thought!" He proclaimed. Ulrich and I shot nervous glances at one another.

"Yeah, it LOOKS alright. The trouble is that it's falling apart." Ulrich tried. "Hopefully the ceiling doesn't fall on our heads."

"That's great! I love a dangerous shoot; that's what I always look for. An actor's always better under pressure." Ulrich and I face palmed.

"Is that even legal?" I wondered.

"Your turn." Ulrich whispered.

"Um, Mr. Finson, you better watch out for your equipment! This place is crawling with rats." I tried.

"Rats? That's ok. I've got some big scenes to shoot with rats in it!" I let out a small sigh. Up above, Jeremy, Yumi, and Odd were watching our futile attempts.

"Conclusion: you should never trust Ulrich when he says there's nothing to worry about." Odd commented.

"They tried to gross him out, but instead he's even more excited." Jeremy said.

"I almost feel bad for Emily. She didn't ask for this." Yumi said, to which the others nodded at.

"You're right, it's a great set." Ulrich began. Too bad about all that uranium they stored here for years and years. Maybe one day it won't be radioactive anymore." Finson, however, was uninterested, instead shifting his attention to the elevator.

"Do either of you know where this freight elevator leads to?" He asked. We had a plan for this question, thankfully.

"Oh, that old thing? It stopped working ages ago." Ulrich answered. "Anyways, they say that when it was working that-" Ulrich was interrupted by a crashing sound, and a moaning sounding similar to Odd. I looked up, and saw the others covering him mouth, and face palmed.

"Idiots." Finson looked at us.

"What was that noise?"

"It was nothing. Maybe a piece of the ceiling fell in the distance, but nothing major." I said.

"Well, they do say that this place is haunted by ghosts, but we don't believe a word of that." Ulrich said, slinging his arm around my shoulder. Finson laughed once again.

"This place just keeps getting better and better than I thought! And you two seem to know every nook and cranny of it." He suddenly had an idea. "I know! How would you two like to work as technical advisors on the film?" I swear I heard the Three Stooges up there begging us to say yes.

"Are you serious!?" Ulrich asked. "Um, well, it would be a great honor sir." Ulrich truthfully admitted.

"The only problem is that the principal would never let us miss our classes." I pointed out.

"Let me talk to him." He assured us.

Administration Building

"Wow, he said no, incredible." Finson remarked as we walked out. "I even promised to put his name in the credits." I was about make a semi sarcastic mark, and then Sissi walked in.

"Um, Mr. Finson? Can I talk to you for a second?" Ulrich and I looked at one another.

Jeremys Room

"Wow, I can't believe it!" Jeremy said.

"Believe it Jeremy. Sissi got a role in Finsons film, and thus allowed us to skip school." Admittedly, the principal only seemed reluctant about Ulrich skipping. He muttered something about my 'above average grades' before allowing me to go.

"Ulrich and Sissi..." Odd said. "This could be the beginning of a great romance!"

"Yeah right. She won't leave me alone for one second!" Ulrich complained.

"Hey, you roped me into this completely outta left field! I'm the one who should be whining!" I reminded him.

"Your real jobs are to be there in order to make sure no one discovers our lab." Jeremy pointed out, just as Aelita popped in to our conversation.

"Come on! It's not going to bad as all that!" She said. I stood up at that point.

"Well, even though I really don't want to, I'm going to go and pack up some of my stuff. Meet you later Ulrich.

I went up to my room, immediately pulled out my phone, and stuffed it into my backpack, and instead put my 3DS in my pocket. Yeah, I was going in prepared.

Factory

Ulrich, Sissi and myself were all on the bridge. Sissi had forced Ulrich to drag her luggage, which seemed to weigh a ton. It didn't help that it didn't have wheels.

"Are you sure it's not too heavy?" Ulrich said nothing and kept grunting. He looked at my backpack, and silently thanked my for being sensible. "When I think that I'm about to become a star, and that you, Ulrich honey, are lucky enough to witness the event live, I envy you, I really do."

"Thanks for the acknowledgement." I sarcastically remarked. We found two guards and a woman at the table in front of the entrance.

"Hello, Mr. Finson is expecting us."

"Do you have cellphones by any chance?" The woman asked.

"Cellphones? Why of course! How could you think that we didn't?" Sissi asked.

"Confiscated. Mr. Finsons orders." The woman replied. She pointed to a box with a bunch of cellphones in it, which Ulrich and Sissi reluctantly put theres in. I was about to go in with them, when they stopped me. "Where's yours?" I shrugged.

"I lost it awhile back." I lied. I could see the look Ulrich was giving me out of the corner of my eye.

"Pocket?" I pulled out my DS.

"Just a DS, nothing major." That was all it took to keep my phone. I walked over to the rope and prepared to slide down, only to notice the looks I was getting. I shrugged them off and slid down anyways, while Ulrich and Sissi took a staircase they set up. One of the crew came up to me and greeted me.

"So, mind me asking about the whole phone thing?" I questioned as Ulrich and the brat approached.

"During the shooting, it's forbidden to communicate with the outside world with Mr. Finsons ok. That's so there's no leak about the script or newspaper gossip." He explained. "That's also why everyone sleeps here with guards at the entrance. Apart from all that, it's a lot of fun!"

"Yes, but what if we have to get in touch with our parents? In case there's a problem?" Ulrich asked. The man laughed.

"When you shoot with James Finson, there's NEVER a problem." For the umpteenth time that day, I face palmed.

"Cut off from the rest of the world.. That's just so romantic! It's almost like being alone on a desert island!" Sissi exclaimed, clutching Ulrichs arm like a child would a teddy bear. I put my face in between them with a grin.

"Yeah, fun, right guys?" Ulrich laughed while Sissi scoffed at my antics. Finson then called us over to something covered in a tarp.

"Well, it's time for all of you to meet the main character of my movie. Prepare yourselves for a big surprise!" He pulled off the tarp to reveal an alien looking monster. I'm serious, it looked like it was from that movie. "Don't be shy! Tell me what you think! It's my best monster yet, right? And to top it all of, I've found a way for him to shoot slimy, disgusting threads of goo! It'll knock your socks off!"

"Awesome, but it makes me think of something else I've seen." I noted. "Can't remember it's name-"

"My creature is unique, young lady, and my movie will be like no other ever made!" Finson said, surprising me by getting close to my face. He gave a huffy face, then walked off. Ulrich and a few crew members out there arms on my shoulder in sympathy.

Later that night

For whatever reason, Ulrich, Sissi and I shared a tent. Ulrich and I, couldn't sleep however. He slipped on his clothes, and I grabbed my phone and shoes, then we snuck out, unaware that someone else wasn't asleep either. We ran by the alien, Ulrich looking at underneath the the tarp, before continuing on.

We entered the lab via the corridor above. Ulrich sat in Jeremy's chair, and called our resident Einstein.

"Ulrich? What're you doing in the lab?" Jeremy questioned.

"Finson took my cellphone away. Emily somehow managed to keep hers, but it'd be too risky to try and call you out there." Ulrich explained.

"Finsons completely paranoid. It isn't going to be easy to stay in touch." I said.

"Well well, what kind of a weird place is this?" Sissi asked, having followed us the whole way. I fac- oh you know what I did by this point.

"Guys, please tell me that that wasn't Sissis voice I just heard." Jeremy pleaded.

"Uh, Sissi, listen. We can't explain this to you, but you can't tell anyone about this! Or else-"

"Or else what? A monster's gonna squirt goopy goo all over my face, huh Ulrich?" Speaking of which, you can guess what fell on her face. We looked up and found the alien roaring at us. I rushed over to the chair and grabbed the ear piece.

"XANA alert! Now if you excuse us, we have to run for our lives! Hurry on over and we might still be alive!" I ran into the elevator as the monster squirted goo on the chair. Ulrich led Sissi into the elevator, and I slammed the button to close it. The two of them slid to the floor in relief... Only to be shocked when something cut through the floor. Ulrich looked around, then noticed the hatch above us.

"Up there!" He exclaimed, then helped us both up. I leaned down to help Ulrich up along with Sissi, however the monster managed to grab his left sneaker. Noticing a vent, I opened it up.

"Let's get outta here!" We then climbed through the vents.

We eventually found ourselves in the back of the factory. Sissi was still in denial about the whole thing, and asking so many questions that were admittedly reasonable. Ulrich covered her mouth and looked my way.

"You'd better get back to the lab. Jeremy, Odd, and Yumi should be here by now." Ulrich said. I nodded, and began to run forward... Only to be sent flying backwards by XANA's prop. I hit a barrel, and I blacked out.

I wasn't out long, as I came to a couple minutes later. Ulrich and Sissi were stuck to the wall in goop.

"Emily, are you ok?" Sissi asked me. I put my hand to the back of my head and winced.

"As ok as I can be after a blow like that." I picked up my glasses, which had flown off, only to find one of the lenses shattered. And it was of course my bad eye. "Friggin' course.." I muttered.

Boiler Room

Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd had managed to get in undetected.

"I'm gonna so see if I can find Ulrich, Emily, and Sissi. We'll stay in contact." Yumi said, then ran off to explore. Odd and Jeremy ran into the lab, and cringed at the goop on the chair.

"Emily didn't say what the attack was, but whatever it is, it doesn't seem to like cleaning up its messes." Odd commented, then rushed into the scanner room.

"Aelita? Odd's about to take the plunge. How are things over there?"

"Pretty bad. You were right, Jeremy, XANA is up to no good again." She informed him.

"I've localized the tower; it's in the Polar Region."

"Ok, Jeremy, I'm in." Odd called out.

"Ok, you're off to the Polar Region. Hope you brought some warm clothes." Jeremy then began the virtualization process.

Lyoko

Odd landed in the Ice Sector as expected. He turned to find Aelita running up to him.

"Nice little place, but it could use a little heat." He joked.

"The tower plateau is in that direction. C'mon, if we run, it'll warm you up." So, Odd followed Aelita along the icy path.

Factory

I was still struggling to recover from that blow. "Man, I wish I was on Lyoko." I said.

"I don't get this at all! Why did he leave is alone when could've just as easily-"

"I'm pretty sure he wanted to use us as bait to attract the others." Ulrich replied honestly.

"When you say the others, do you mean-"

"The entire Geek Squad, yes." I said. Then, we heard a noise from afar. Thankfully, it was Yumi.

"Ulrich! Emily! Sissi!" She exclaimed, and ran over to us. She pulled out a pocket knife. "Whatever you do, don't move a muscle." She joked as she cut them free.

"Haha, very funny." Ulrich sarcastically remarked. As soon as the were free, Yumi bent down to look at me.

"What happened?"

"The monster sent her flying. It wouldn't surprise me if she has a concussion." Ulrich said. Both Yumi and Sissi helped me stand, which I silently thanked them for. "We gotta get outta here before XANA-"

"Come outa there! And make it snappy!" Finson shouted. We all looked at one another, but we didn't have much choice. With Yumi supporting me, we all walked out, and went into a control room.

"Tell me right now: what have you done with my alien!?" Finson demanded, which I cringed at the sound of. Then, speak of the devil! The opened, revealing the possessed monster. Finson was hit, forcing us to bolt from the room. My vision was getting blurry, making it hard to run. The door was locked, allowing the man and woman from earlier to catch up.

"Boss, did you find them- what!?" The man shouted.

"Don't let them get away!" Yeah... They were gooed to a wall, and we escaped. Ulrich and Yumi barricaded the door the best they could, and we sat in a corner, Ulrich holding a crowbar.

"Jeremy? It's Yumi. Yes I found, but Emily has a concussion, and XANA has taken control of a monster that will be here and minute!" Yumi reported.

Lyoko

"Odd! Emily's been injured, and all of them out there are in big trouble! There's not much time!" Jeremy exclaimed. The pair of Odd and Aelita were being chased by a squadron of Hornets. They briefly stopped when they saw a slope leading into a cave below them.

"Wow, that sure is steep!" He looked back. "But we have no choice!" Both Odd and Aelita jumped and began sliding down the ice tunnel. "Yahoo! What a fabulous ride! I think I may just settle down and live here!" Odd cried, obviously having a blast. "By the way Jeremy, what's at the end of this?"

"Um, well..."

"Oh, I get the idea! Geronimo!" The ride concluded with Aelita falling on top of Odd. The two of them stood up and looked around.

"In any case, the tower is close now." Jeremy said, trying to point out the positive side in it all.

"Thanks for the info, Jeremy." Odd sarcastically muttered. They began looking around. "Any sign of tat tower, Aelita?"

"Um, yes. But I may be seeing double!" She exclaimed. Odd turned and gasped, there were two towers next to one another.

"Jeremy! There are two towers!" Odd explained.

"What!? There's only one on the holomap!" Jeremy pointed out.

"XANA must've done that to confuse us!" Aelita realized. Odd looked behind them and grimaced.

"Well, we've gotta choose one, and fast too!" Their buddies, the Hornets managed to catch up.

"Hello? Jeremy? Have you got any news for us?" Yumi asked.

"Yumi! What's going on? Answer me! Yumi!" However, her phone signal was cut out. "Odd!"

"I know you me gonna tell me! Well, for your information, we're not exactly having a tea party here!" Odd shouted.

Aelita was standing in front of the towers, unsure of her next move. One wring decision could end her friends lives. Odd then tackled her to the ground to avoid some lasers.

"Aelita, you've gotta choose one of the towers now! I can't hold them off much longer!" She nodded.

"Ok." Odd ran off to get rid of the remaining Hornets. Aelita stood in between the towers, before entering the tower on her right.

Factory

So, why did Yumi's phone cut out? Well, you would too if you were terrified. The alien had caught up, and backed us up into a corner. Sissi was whimpering the whole time, not that I blame her though.

We were powerless to do anything as the monster hoisted us up in the air by our necks. However, right as we began to stop struggling, a white light saved us all. Aelita had chose the right tower, and saved our lives.

Outside Cafeteria

As soon as we were in the past, I felt weird not being injured. I actually put my hands in my throat to make sure nothing was there.

"Oh, thank god!" I exclaimed, and put my hands on my head. "Concussions suck by the way." I said. "I blame you by the way." I said, pointing an accusing finger at Ulrich. He put his hands up defensively.

"Let me make it up to you." He walked into the cafeteria, but with a different plan in mind. "Great idea to use the factory for the movie." He began.

"Thanks. I must say, and I say this with great modesty, my idea are absolutely ingenious." Finson replied, and tried to hand Ulrich an autograph.

"It makes a great set. By the way, you do know that a film has been shot there before?"

"What? You're kidding!"

"No, science fiction! With an alien! And fabulous picture too!"

Minutes later Finson was storming out, calling his producer. Ulrich walked out happily, and we all cheered.

WHY DIDNI STAY UP TILL 4 TO FINISH THIS!? UGH!
