Here's chapter 15! According to 13MoonGoddess13, I am 'abusing the lines like a mother,' and should 'only use them for time skips and such'. Personally, I don't think it matters, but I decided not to use the lines as much this chapter. Just to see how it looks. If I like it, I'll keep it that way. If not, I'll go back to my original syle. Now that the irrelevant stuff is done, please enjoy and review!

The first thing I noticed was that it was night time, which was strange because it was morning back at the factory. Aelita and I were materialized into the air, dropping and landing on our feet. We looked around, waiting for our eyes to adjust to the darkness.

"It worked Jeremy, we're here," I told him, "In some kind of forest."

"And it's night time here," Aelita added.

"I see, you're in a different time zone," There was a pause. "You're in the Amazon forest."

"Cool, so, uh, now what?" I inquired.

"Try and find some kind of building or laboratory. The supercomputer should be in there," he suggested.

"How are we gonna find anything here? It's pitch black!" I exclaimed.

"Found it," Aelita said.

I looked and saw her standing next to a tree, pointing to a very-well lit up building a couple meters away from us.

"Oh. Well, let's go!" I cried as we rushed towards the building, silently but stealthily.

When we reached the door, we were shimming in on both sides. I materialized both my guns as the door swished open. I peered in then stepped inside cautiously, both my guns out and ready. When no one was in sight, Aelita followed me. After searching the building for a while, we ended up with two paths to take.

"Jeremy, do you have any idea where the supercomputer is?" I asked.

"I'm searching right now, but it may take some time," he answered.

"Okay, let's play a game," I said.

Since I didn't have a coin, I stuck with eenie-meanie-minie-moe in order to decide which path to take. Jeremy scolded me and Aelita was amused. I landed on the left path, so we rushed down that hall way. Hearing footsteps other than our own, we panicked. Aelita dragged me into a room and the door swished shut. We waited a moment before opening the door and stepping outside. We continued down the hallway and entered another room. We found no supercomputer, instead, we found a large container full of what appeared to be mechanical spiders. I wrinkled my nose in disgust and there was a groan behind us.

We whirled around and I pulled out my guns, aiming at our bald enemy. I fired at him but to my surprise, he caught the beams and sent them back at me. The hit me in the chest and I flew into a wall. The part that got hit was all fuzzy, but it still hurt.

"That is so unfair," I grumbled.

He closed in on me but was blasted out the door by Aelita's energy field. Thanking her, I stood up and looked at the unconscious man on the floor. There was some kind of closet or storage room to the left, so in he went and we continued our search for the supercomputer.

"Hurry it up you guys," Jeremy commanded. "Ulrich and Yumi are having a tough time with some Trantulas."

"It'd be easier if you had the coordinates," I said, harsher than I meant to.

"I've almost got them..... Got it! Take the next corridor on your left,"

"On it," I said and sauntered quickly down the hall.

After minutes of following his directions, we came upon a door, which swished open as we zoomed in. Inside, was a large computer. We fired at it, but a deflector appeared and our attacks were futile.

"Jeremy, there's some kind of force field," Aelita told him. "We can't destroy the supercomputer."

"There has to be some kind of projection or something. Aha! I find it! There's a small box in the left corner of the supercomputer."

I looked towards my left and there was a decent size box. I fired at it a few times and after the fourth shot, it was destroyed.

"Awesome! Now to destroy the supercomputer," I said.

I raised my gun at the supercomputer, but suddenly, Aelita and I were rematerialized.

I appeared in the scanner, pouting. Yumi and Ulrich were there and they explained to us why we were rematerialized. We stepped in the elevator and went up into the computer room. Once Jeremy finished explaining, my phone rang. I was to babysit my 'brother' for the night and that my mom would drive me home tomorrow. Sighing, I repeated the conversation to my friends.

"Shouldn't 'Dan' be able to stay home by himself?" Odd questioned.

"Ordinarily, yes, but he's a bit of a pyro, so I have to make sure he stays away from anything that could explode or start a fire," I said glumly. "Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow."

Unfortunately, I had no idea what trouble faced me the following morning.

After sleeping in a little later, my mom woke me up for breakfast, which consisted of eggs, toast and bacon. Once I finished, I got changed, brushed my teeth and l cimbed into my mom's silver minivan. My mom was a very cautious driver. She never talked on the phone and never fiddled with the radio. Whenever she talked, she never looked at the person, she always kept her eyes locked onto the road, preparing herself for the slightest case of an accident. However, I don't think she was prepared for this.

It was a little icy out, due to the snow the day before. Said ice, was actually the cause of a red truck slamming into our car. And we reacted just like those little crash dummies would. The truck came first, hitting the very front of our car. At 200 mph, the air bags hurt as we were flung forward into the protective bag, scratching our faces. We only had a few seconds of hesitation, checking each other if we were fine, before a white sedan slammed into the right side of the car. My side. The glass shattered as I screamed, cutting my face and forearms. Suddenly, the cars behind slammed into the rear end of our car and I was thrown forward. My airbag had decreased slightly so my head smacked off the dash board. I thought I heard a snap but I couldn't tell due to all the pain I was experiencing. So much pain, that I didn't even notice I was bleeding until I felt a liquid begin to pour down my right temple and over my eye, which I shut. I also saw blood on then entire right side of my body. The last image I noticed, was my mother, tears in her eyes, shaking me hysterically.

Yumi's POV

I was walking to school with my black bag slung over my shoulder. It was about 7:45 and I was walking down a street when I heard the screeching of tires and collisions of metal against metal a few miles away from me. Looking up, I saw a silver mini van, a red truck, a white sedan and other cars all together in a big clump. Curiosity overwhelming me, I strode towards the accident. By the time I reached the spot, the ambulance had arrived and most of the victims had been strapped aboard. They were putting the last one it as I began to turn away until I looked at the patient. She was a girl, perhaps a year younger me, with brown hair and blood splattering her face and clothes. I recognized her as my friend, Dialla Reinhart. She was placed into the van and the sirens slowly faded away as the ambulance disappeared.

I sprinted as fast as I could to the Kadic Academy. Thankfully, I reached it before the start of first period so I was able to catch up with my friends.

"Guys!" I called, running to them.

"Yumi? Hey, what's wrong?" Jeremy questioned.

I leaned my hands on my knees, catching my breath.

"Car accident.... Dialla is....."

Ulrich put the words together quickly. "Dialla's in a car accident?!"

"Was," I corrected. "But she's in the hospital now."

"Are you sure?" Aelita asked.

I nodded. "I just saw the crash as I was walking to school."

Ulrich's face drained of color as he began to be consumed with worry for her friend.

"The hospital's not that far from here," Odd noted. "We can try and see her during lunch."

We nodded and the bell rang, sending us off to our different classes.

Ulrich's POV

After Yumi told us what happened to Dialla, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I kept seeing images of her covered in blood, hey dying, or me being there and not being able to help. I flinched, and shook my head vigorously. My pink-haired friend placed her hand comfortingly on mine and asked if I was alright; I nodded.

"Don't worry," she said quietly. "There's only a few minutes left of class, then we can go see her."

I thanked her and the bell rang moments later. The four of us got out of our chairs and left the classroom as quickly as possible.

We met Yumi at the gates of the Kadic Academy and ran as fast as we could to the hospital in the center of town.

Dialla, I thought. You better be alright.
