Chapter Two: Possibilities

"It's good to have you back, William."

"Good to be back, Yumi."

The two looked at each other for a moment, before Yumi looked over at Ulrich.

William looked at the male as well, and he made a small grunt before he made a wide smile.

Jeremy interrupted "So, remember anything from being possessed by XANA?"

"Barely," William said, before he lifted his hand and started to scratch the back of his hair "I heard this voice in my head, always telling me to do something. He would give me orders, and I would just do them. I remember the voice, a man's voice…but that was all. I remember…" William was focusing as hard as he could on his memory, but he got nothing "That's all, I only got the voice."

"That was probably XANA then," Aelita said softly, she gave a serious look to Jeremy "He was probably giving orders to William to attack us." "Right." Jeremy nodded and agreed.

William was back to looking at Ulrich, and Ulrich glared slightly towards the taller male.

Yumi rolled her eyes, and soon walked off. Both boys stared at her as she walked off, before they glared at each other and yelled in unison "What's your problem?!"

"You guys…" Aelita frowned at them, and Jeremy sighed "Seriously."

William was saved; he had managed to break free of the control of XANA with the help of Aelita, Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd. Of course, Jeremy was there to help as well. As soon as William was back to himself, they escaped Lyoko. William also claimed he would not be joining the gang for awhile, since being possessed had gotten to him in some way. Jeremy assumed he needed rest, but is it something more?

Aelita and Jeremy headed off for class, while Ulrich huffed, turned, and left William alone. The taller of the two remained where he was; standing still; His fists clenched tightly, where he winced from the pain of his nails piercing his skin. If his nails would have been razor sharp, they would have. He looked at his hands and saw the red irritated marks, but no blood. He sighed and looked off in the distance of the school grounds, Ulrich walking off and soon disappearing into the school. He sighed once more, before he glared "Yumi is mine."

_________________________

The blonde sat in his dorm room, staring out of the window.

Another year…

Fifteen, his friends were about fifteen too, though Yumi was sixteen. He never kept track, he never seemed to worry about age so much.

But he was in 7th grade now, one more year, until he left and was in high school. What would happen then? Would they go to the same high school or go back to where they all came from and never talk again?

Bad things never wore Odd down as much as this did, Odd was bummed out. He had been thinking about it ever since his birthday passed. As he got older, more of his friends would leave, and soon everyone would have gone and parted ways.

"It's about the here and now." Odd said to himself as he looked out the window. The bell rang to be in class, he was now officially absent.

He heard a dog sniff about, and Odd turned his head to see his pet Kiwi sniffing the floor. Odd smirked lightly as he got up from the chair at the desk and kneeled to pick up his dog. He's had Kiwi for as long as he could remember, even in a place where he can't have the dog around; he still keeps a close eye on him. Kiwi was the only friend that wouldn't ever leave him…

Until he dies, at least.

Odd let out a small sigh as he placed Kiwi back on the floor. Besides, he had saved enough money so that his little buddy can go to some fancy dog hotel, just because he was special like that. Odd planned on sending him later today. Kiwi didn't deserve to be crammed in such a small dorm room.

Soon there was a knock at the door, and Odd jumped from surprise as he saw the handle of the door begin to move. Luckily he had locked it, and now the person on the other end was struggling.

"Odd?"

It was Ulrich.

Odd calmed himself down as he got up from the chair and unlocked the door for Ulrich, and soon the short brunette entered into the room and shut the door behind him, locking it again "So, I was wondering why you weren't in class…you don't usually ditch so late in the afternoon."

Ulrich was Odd's best friend out of all their friends in the group, he didn't know if Ulrich had the same thoughts about him, but it was true. He told this short, brown haired, serious business guy everything. He always told him what girls he liked at the moment, whose class he would sneak out of, whose class he would ditch, everything. Ulrich was more of the friend that tried to make you better than what you were, but that was what made Odd attached to him in such a way.

Ulrich came to his rescue, because they share all their classes together. Ulrich knew what time of day Odd usually ditched, which were the morning classes normally so he could sleep in. Strange enough, Ulrich was wondering why he decided to ditch so late without informing him first.

"I told the teacher you were sick, and she gave me a pass to check on you." Ulrich finished as he sat on his own bed. Kiwi leaped on top of the bed and rested beside Ulrich, where the brunette began to pet him gently with a cool smile. Odd sighed "I'm bummed, can you believe it? Me, out of all people, I'm feeling stressed…I think I just hit my mid-life crisis!"

"You don't hit those until you're around forty, Odd…"

"I'm one step TOWARDS forty, though!"

"You're only fifteen."

Odd groaned as he lifted from the chair, hunched over, and dragged himself to sit next to Ulrich. Ulrich laughed at how dramatic he was, he was always this dramatic, but it was something that made Odd a very…odd person. More interesting than such, anyway.

"Listen, you've been different since your birthday, and even more strange since we recued William from Lyoko." Ulrich looked up from Kiwi and over at Odd who sat beside him. Odd was staring at his lap with a frown, his eyebrows furrowed and made him look so worried. "Odd…" Ulrich said gently "Cheer up, everyone needs it…trust me."

Odd looked up and continued to frown as he stared at Ulrich "Why, did something happen?"

Ulrich patted Kiwi's backside lightly so the dog was signaled to leap off the bed. Ulrich then slipped out of his shoes and laid himself down, Odd remained in his sitting position.

"Well...I guess it was because me and William got into a little fight before class…" Ulrich admitted, then he growled under his breath "Man, it's just because William likes to start things though! He simply stares at Yumi, and after that he would have some stupid grin on his face and look at me as if I wouldn't do something about it-"

"But you DON'T do ANYTHING about it…" Odd chuckled. Ulrich huffed and looked at Odd with a frown "You aren't helping…"

Odd felt better now that his depressing thoughts were distracted. This was why Ulrich was his friend, his best out of all of his friends, he was great at cheering him up…the same with Odd helping Ulrich cheer up. Then again, it was always Odd's job to cheer up all of his friends.

"Listen, I've been thinking a lot lately about time…and age." Odd said with a sigh "Trust me, there isn't much time left before either William steals your girl or Yumi simply leaves the academy…"

"She's not my girl." Ulrich sounded irritated, but then Odd held a finger up "Which is the problem, Ulrich. You two look at each other like you know you like each other, Yumi hasn't gone out with William OBVIOUSLY because she's waiting for you to ask her, and if you aren't making the moves, then what's gonna happen?"

Ulrich lifted up in his bed, and he sighed as he rested on his elbows "It's funny how you're right, but it's not funny how I can be so stupid and scared. I'm nervous."

"I think it's even funnier how you're the bravest out of all of us and you can't even do a simple task of asking a girl out…"

Ulrich lowered his head in shame, and Odd patted his shoulder "Listen, I don't mean to rush you, but everyone knows, no one is as ready as Yumi, all you need to do is ask, listen for her yes, and you're done! She's yours!"

"But what if she says no?"

"She won't."

"There's always a 'what if', though."

"Not if you two are THIS close." He crossed his fingers in front of Ulrich's face, and he smirked "Don't worry so much, just do it. But if you don't want to, there are plenty of fish in the sea." He tilted his head in thought, then Odd laughed "Well, Sissy is the fishiest, but whatever…it's up to you."

Ulrich nodded his head, and he made a small smile as he jumped up from his bed "Thanks Odd, I knew I could count on you…" He looked down at the purple dressed male still sitting on his bed "Well, we should get going…"

Odd nodded, and he used his fist to cover his mouth as he lightly coughed "Oh man…I hope I'll be allowed in the class in this sickly condition…" He got up from the bed and held his stomach as Ulrich opened the door for him with a chuckle. Odd nodded again and groaned as he left the room. Ulrich closed the door behind them.

Kiwi took this moment to leap back onto Ulrich's bed, and he curled up and soon fell asleep.

_____________________________

As always, the classes each student took were always boring, but each student had their favorite though, of course. While Odd was more interested in the music and art classes, Ulrich was more into gym and Yumi was more into History. Of course Jeremy liked every class except Gym, and Aelita simply enjoyed all class, everyone always had their personal favorites.

By the time Ulrich and Odd made it back to their math class, the teacher told them there were only five more minutes left before they were to go to their lunch period. There was a total of eight class periods in all, and they were in their seventh.

They took their seats, and the lesson finished in no time with both boys not learning anything from the class. As soon as the bell rang, they got up and headed into the halls, where they managed to spot Jeremy and Aelita walking towards them. Odd waved happily, and the other blonde waved back before standing in front of them and adjusting his glasses "I just came back from taking William's clone and putting him away for good, and I just released my own since I need to go to the supercomputer to see what's going on in Lyoko." Aelita nodded, and made a small giggle "Well, I don't want to be late for lunch, it's hard to get a good table. I'll save you guys a seat." She waved towards the three boys before she walked off.

Jeremy seemed to simply stare off into nothingness as Aelita soon disappeared in the crowd of students rushing around. Odd waved his hand in front of his face, and then Jeremy shook his head and looked at him "What?"

"So obviously you haven't told her how you feel…" Ulrich smiled calmly. Odd rolled his eyes, and he threw his arms up as if he was surrendering "You know what? How can I give either of you so much advice if you don't even take it?" Odd looked at his cell phone, and he sighed as he slipped it into his pocket "I'm gonna go see what's for lunch, I'll catch you guys later."

Odd walked off, and Jeremy looked at Ulrich "Well, have you made any progress…?" Ulrich shook his head slowly, before he made a small smile "Come on, I bet there's something good on the menu." He patted Jeremy's shoulder, and Jeremy smiled as he walked with Ulrich to the cafeteria. When they entered, Yumi, Aelita, and Odd were already sitting at a table together. Odd and Aelita sat next to each other across the table from Yumi. Jeremy and Ulrich soon joined them, Jeremy sat on the other side of Yumi and Ulrich on the other side of her as well. Odd continued talking…

"So that's why I'm gonna send Kiwi to a little doggy hotel, he definitely deserves it, and I bet he'd come back all happy and refreshed."

"Sounds like you really do care about Kiwi, Odd." Yumi said with a small smile as she poked at her food with a fork. Today was meatloaf, but the problem with that was that the meatloaf looked like a glob of brown mud with vegetable chunks on a small slice of bread. It looked nothing like meatloaf at all. Ulrich saw the food in front of the three, and he shook his head slowly "Well, I'm not hungry." "Me either." Jeremy said gently. Aelita and Yumi looked at each other, before they shoved their trays towards Odd. Odd smiled widely "Wow! This is great! I'm gonna be stuffed all day!"

The group made a small laugh, and soon Jeremy gasped "I almost forgot, I should be getting to the lab." He got up from the table, and he waved before he walked out of the cafeteria. Everyone watched as he departed, and soon William ended up taking his place. Aelita and Odd bowed their heads. "Hi, William." Aelita smiled "How are you feeling?"

"A little better, I guess…" William shrugged his shoulders as he placed his tray down beside Yumi. Aelita and Odd were at the opposite side of Yumi, Ulrich, and now William. Yumi seemed to suddenly be stuck in between the two boys, and she huffed lightly under her breath in annoyance. William ate a little of his food as Aelita and Odd began to chat about whatever it was that made the pink haired girl laugh. William scooted a little closer to Yumi, and Ulrich made a small sigh.

Yumi cleared her throat "Well, um. So today has actually been pretty good, no problems since we got back from Lyoko." "None whatsoever." William agreed as he smiled at Yumi. The Asian girl blushed a little, before she turned her head towards Ulrich. Ulrich lowered his and stared down at his folded hands on top his lap. Yumi glared, before she looked back at William "So, do you have any plans today, William?"

William and Ulrich's eyes widened and they stared at her "What?"

Yumi shrugged her shoulders "Well, I've got nothing to do later, so it'd be nice to…you know, chill for a little bit. Maybe we can talk about your memories of X.A.N.A.?"

Ulrich cleared his throat, and then let out a small cough. William glanced at him, before he looked back towards Yumi "Sure, I'm game." He smiled proudly, and Odd frowned and looked to Ulrich. The brunette sat in his seat; dumbfounded and spaced out. William soon got up and threw his food out, and Yumi followed.

Aelita gasped "Ulrich, why didn't you do something?"

"I just can't." Ulrich said in defeat "I can't…I just don't want to risk it." "Risk what?!" Odd glared "Being closer than friends with the girl of your dreams? You need to do something, obviously she wants your attention."

Ulrich suddenly yelled "I don't need you or anyone else telling me how to take care of things! I'll do whatever the hell I please!" He got up from the table, and he marched off angrily towards the dorms.

The whole cafeteria was silent for a long moment, before the chatter got louder and soon everything was back to normal. Now it was just Aelita and Odd, and they watched as Ulrich disappeared.

"So much drama." Odd huffed gently and rested his head in his hand as his elbow was placed on the table. Aelita nodded, and she sighed as she looked up towards the ceiling "Well, I guess it's time to head for our last class…"

"Yep." Odd groaned, and he slowly got up from the table with Aelita and the two of them walked there together.

___________________

He held a goofy grin on his face, his eyes were gently shut closed as the voice spoke to him through his mind.

His father spoke to him about another world besides their own. Lyoko was not the only place that was out there, he wanted the boy to explore and learn, study, and control. He wanted the boy to take over.

"Victory, do as you wish, but when I need you, I will summon you."

The teen, known as Victory, looked up towards the orange sky of the desert region. The world was dry, yet there was a cool breeze to it.

Victory's body was slim; yet he was fit. He wore a full body suit that had a black base color. The black faded into white from his elbows to his fingertips and at his knees, which returned to fade into black again by the time it reached his shoes. There was X.A.N.A.'s eye on his chest, and rainbow colored digital squares seemed to glow and move on and off as the boy breathed.

The teen, that looked sixteen or even seventeen, grew a set of transparent bat wings. Out of thin air rainbow bits of data slowly formed into a set of black wings, and Victory hovered in the air.

"Victory, you are free to roam now, you are old enough to understand my purpose of being. You may do as you wish, but remember…when I need you, I will summon you."

Victory never understood most of the meanings that his father said, but he nodded and smiled as he let himself land on the ground and his wings vanished. He continued to walk ahead with a small limp in his step. It was not a noticeable one, it was one where you would only see it if you watched how he walked. He was, what one would call, pigeon toed, at least with one foot.

Victory walked all the way to the edge of a rock, and he looked down at the sea; the sea of endless information that made him this way. He frowned as he touched the scar on his right eye, then he looked down at his foot that pointed slightly towards his other foot. He sighed and looked down again, before he leaped and his wings appeared, helping him fly over towards another rock. He looked back up towards the orange sky; the desert sky that seemed hot if one could touch it, but no one ever had the ability to touch the sky.

"Dad, I want to touch the sky." Victory said gently.

Suddenly the cloudless orange sky seemed closer than it should have, and Victory lifted his hand slowly into the air, and he was touching a hard surface. He patted the orange surface lightly with the palms of his hands, and he gasped. He made a small smirk, before he started to laugh.

X.A.N.A. always gave him what he wanted…all he ever wanted, he would create just for him. So that one day, when the computer male needed him, Victory would come.

Victory continued to smile as he touched the sky with his own hands. Lyoko was a world of endless possibilities…what was Earth like?
