Disclaimer: I own nothing, though if I did, there would be several more seasons of Code Lyoko.

A/N: I know I said I would update weekly, but I got into a writing mood all of a sudden. I might go as far as updating two chapters in one day. Hope you enjoy!

Happy reading! xoxo

Confusion

Chapter 2: Surprise Party

After some time talking in the distance, the two boys walked back over. "Come on Yumi, it's us against them.", said Ulrich in a slightly better mood. Yumi looked over to both of the boys, not entirely sure how to react to what just happened. She looked over to Aelita who ushered her with her eyes to go with Ulrich.

After some goals later the two teams were tied. The score was 6 to 6 and the teens agreed the next goal would be the winning goal. Yumi looked over to Ulrich, "you wanna try it?", she said with a wink. Ulrich laughed, "you bet, let's go!"

Odd gave a confusing look to Aelita, "what are they talking about?", Odd panted. Aelita shrugged her shoulders and looked back over. She saw both teens running for the ball when Yumi dove to the ground and quickly jumped back up and did a flip in the air right over Odd and landed right behind him.

Ulrich ran to kick the ball while Odd and Aelita were trying to process what had just happened. He passed the ball to Yumi who made the winning goal. "Hey! that's cheating", yelled Odd. Aelita had been too busy congratulating Yumi and Ulrich and commenting on how cool she thought Yumi's gymnast techniques were.

They began to walk over to Jeremie when Odd noticed Sam coming over to the group. They had been dating for a few months now. "Hey babe, how was detention with Jimbo?", said Odd with a slight chuckle as he waved over to her. Sam finally caught up to the group and punched Odd playfully in the arm, "I much rather have watched paint dry.", she laughed.

The group was standing and talking about the game and how Sam's detention went when suddenly Jeremie's computer had started beeping as if it was on the fritz.

Jeremie rushed for his computer trying to analyze what exactly happened. His eyes darted from program to program, but he could not believe his eyes when he finally figured out what all was going on.

Everyone had surrounded Jeremie looking to see what was wrong, when Jeremie looked up at his friends faces. "The-the super scan... it picked up an activated tower...", said Jeremie not even believing the words coming out of his own mouth. "What?!", the entire group yelled in unison.

Sam had a worried look across her face, about a year ago the group had decided to let her in on the memories of their old adventures. They figured since they had shut the super computer down, there would be no harm in telling her about Lyoko , X.A.N.A's constant plots to destroy the world, and the teens being the ones to save the day.

Aelita looked the most shocked out of everyone and lowered her head, "Jeremie, I thought we had eliminated X.A.N.A when we shutdown the super computer?" Jeremie looked up at Aelita and then to his friends who's expressions asked the exact same question.

"Well.. we did, at least I thought we did, but it is quite possible that the super computer located here in the factory is not the only super computer in the world..." Ulrich looked at Jeremie trying to process what he was saying, "So, what does that mean in English Einstein?", asked Ulrich to the blonde haired boy.

"It means, X.A.N.A could have awaken but in another super computer!", Jeremie said exacerbated by the question. Sam looked around to everyone, "When you guys had told me about Lyoko and everything, I was not entirely sure how to react because it seemed like a crazy made up story..."

Aelita and Yumi looked at each other, "Well, you are about to find out how real those stories were." said Aelita. Jeremie quickly gathered his laptop, "Lets head to the factory before anything starts happening here, I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to see what X.A.N.A has in store for us." The group quickly headed straight for the manhole in the park that lead to the sewers taking them to the factory.

Once at the factory the teens each traveled down the ropes to the floor of the factory when suddenly the lift that they had once used to get to the lower levels started to open slowly. "Uh, Einstein, I think X.A.N.A sent us a welcome party...", stammered Odd. He turned towards Jeremie who was trying to put together a plan in his head on how to make it to the lower levels.

"Well I don't want to wait around and find out, let's take cover until we've got a plan.", said Yumi.

A/N: I wonder what Ulrich had talked to Odd about, and I wonder what lies in wait inside of the elevator! Don't forget to review and tell me what you think of it so far.

Thanks for reading! xoxo
