The first date was October ninth. The passage described a boy looking for old mechanical stuff to help him build his mini robots. Jeremy had gone to the abandoned factory not far from the school. He described a virtual world, with Scanners and a supercomputer. Because Matthew didn't need to attend class until tomorrow, he read each and every passage out of that diary. It described people being sent into a virtual universe, to fight monsters controlled by an evil virus called X.A.N.A.
He also read the name Delarobia, which stunned Matthew. Curious, he decided that he would go to the factory the next day, after school ended. The next morning, Matthew went to his classes. He was an extremely intelligent kid, with a lot of optimism. His wavy brown hair, and big brown eyes charmed all the French girls at the school. Matthew knew he was good looking, but he never showed off or bragged, he didn't want to be a jerk.
Matthew then ran into Zack Delarobia. "Hey.. Zack…what was your dad's name again?" Zack smiled and replied, "Odd…why?" Matthew just said he was curious. And he asked Zack if his dad ever talked about anything interesting about the school. He shook his head. Odd never told his son about the supercomputer. Matthew still wasn't sure if it was even true. The bell rang, and Matthew remembered a passage in the forest that led to the factory that he had read about in Jeremy Belpois' diary. Walking over to the sewer, he pushed open the metal covering, and climbed down.
He walked underground until he reached a ladder that took him up to the outside part of the factory. Matthew noticed three ropes; scared that they may snap, he slowly grasped them and tested their weight. He slowly went down the rope, and once he reached the floor he was shocked. Everything Matthew had read about was true. The factory, the passage; but now is the time for the moment of truth. He was walking to the elevator and pressed in a code from the diary that he wrote down on his arm. Walking into the elevator, he held his breath. It went to the third floor. Matthew walked in and saw a huge metal device with a symbol of an eye. He walked over and turned the device on. All of a sudden a huge blast of light turned the supercomputer on.
Nervous about what he might find next, Matthew went up to the second floor. The diary was not a fairy tale. He saw the scanners and all of them were open and functioning. Going up to the final floor, Matthew saw the supercomputer. It was on and working. He then heard a noise and a window popped on the screen; a tower had been activated.
What? Already? Matthew didn't know what to do, he was freaking out. Scared, Matthew went down to the supercomputer to turn it off, but it wouldn't budge. What had he done? Matthew took a deep breath and remembered that they had destroyed X.A.N.A. So there was nothing to worry about, right?
