Author's note: Sorry it took so long to update. I had exams from Thursday until Thursday. I think I'll be updating once every week. Forgive me, if it takes a couple of days longer;). I'd like to thank everybody for the reviews/favourites/follows! I hope you enjoy (again)! More action later. First a little exploring.

Chapter two: Something is wrong

Everybody was shocked and worried about the fact that there was another attack. What could XANA's intentions behind this double attack be? And how were they going to solve it? But most important of all was the following simple, yet hard question: what was the attack (besides the bug in the program)? After the return to the past, all Lyoko warriors had somehow fainted. This was very strange, because it had never happened to them before.

Ulrich was the first person to wake up. He felt a little dizzy, but he seemed to be alright. He looked around him and he saw the forest. But the trees were dark and the moon showed itself. It was night. "The forest?" Ulrich thought. Why wasn't he sitting on the bench, but sitting on the forest's ground in the middle of the night? "This must be XANA's doing," Ulrich determined. Who or what else could have put him here? He imagined Odd, pulling a prank on him, trying to drag him here. But Odd would never drag one of his friends, who is unconscious, to the forest to wake up lonely and deserted. He was crazy, but not that crazy.

Ulrich tried to recall what happened before the return to the past. But it was all blurry, because of the dizziness. He had to take it easy. He got up and started breathing in and out slowly. Then he made another attempt. He remembered Jeremy saying that there was a bug in the program or something like that. Jeremy had also said it was another attack. Which meant that XANA made sure he had ended up in the forest. Ulrich reached for his phone in his pocket, but the battery was dead. "If it is night now and I am in the forest, then that must mean that I am nowhere near the day we discovered the attack. Because I hardly come here in the middle of the night. Then the question is: which day is it?" Ulrich thought.

Suddenly out of nowhere Ulrich heard a loud explosion. He did not understand why, but he immediately ran towards the direction of which he thought it was the right one. But instead of finding something immense frightening, he saw a bowl of light. Unaware of whether it was dangerous, he doubtfully walked over to the light and was amazed and at the same time terrified by what he saw.

Yumi was talking to him and Ulrich was staring at her, but he was still listening. She was complaining about his behaviour towards William earlier on that day. Only a few sentences was stuck inside his head since then. You know that fighting William is useless. I don't like his actions and attitude either. I don't want something to happen to you because of his stupidity. I care about you and I like the way you are...Everybody does," She had quickly said afterwards. Ulrich wished he could hear her say it once more.

Then the following message appeared in front of Ulrich: If you think this is the past, you should think again. Because it is the future. The bowl disappeared, leaving a confused Ulrich behind. What was that supposed to mean? But before he could think of an answer monsters were approaching him from all directions. Ulrich was now surrounded. "Something is definitely wrong," Ulrich said.

Meanwhile at Yumi's house...

Unlike Ulrich, Yumi was lying comfortably on her bed. As she woke up, she made her way to the bathroom. Though, she did not immediately realize that she was not on her way to class. Until she stepped on soap, which caused her to slip and fall to the ground. Was her brother stupid enough to pull the same prank on her twice? And was she foolish enough to fall for it twice? Or did she just have a déjà vu?

Two days ago her brother, Hiroki, had obviously gotten up before her and he had put soap somewhere behind the door. Somewhere a certain person, who would be his sister, could step on it and fall. Somewhere he certainly was not present, to avoid his angry sister.

And indeed, Yumi was very angry, because her brother had done it again. She walked over to Hiroki's hiding place, which, to her amazement, was exactly the same as before. Yumi grabbed him by his shirt and asked him with the loudest voice possible: "WHY ON EARTH DID YOU PUT SOAP ONTO THE GROUND AGAIN?!" "What do you mean again? This is the first time I pulled this prank. Have you gone mad again or something? Is it because of Ulrich?" Hiroki asked first confused and then teasingly. He knew he could get away if he said that. "Shut up, Hiroki," Yumi said, while letting go of him. "If this is the first time, then why is it the second time I am experiencing this?" Yumi thought.

At that very moment Yumi remembered. The return to the past, the passing out, Jeremy shouting that there was another attack. Were the side effects of the messed up program so bad that she could not even remember that she was supposed to walk to class now? The incident with Hiroki had taken place two days ago, in the morning to be exact. So that meant that she went back two days into the past!

Yumi freshened up and changed into her usual black clothes. She made her way downstairs, but did not see her mother, father or brother. As she searched the entire house and even around the house, time passed. Eventually she returned to her room, after failing to find her family. She tried calling her parents and her brother, but there was no connection. Yumi was getting a little scared. It felt as if her heart stopped for a few seconds when she also heard a loud explosion.

It seemed to have come from the living room. Yumi carefully walked towards it, arming herself with a stick. But she dropped it on seeing the bowl of light. The reason why she freaked out was not the appearance of the bowl, but the fragments shown. She was surprised to see Jeremy on Lyoko. For Aelita it was normal to be in the hermitage and if anyone asked why Odd was in the cafeteria, he or she had never met Odd or was out of his or her mind.

Compared to her, the others appeared to be in an even more difficult situation. "Jeremy would never set a foot on Lyoko after what happened to him when confronting the megatanks. Aelita's surroundings are cleaned up and all the stuff is still in a good shape. This could only point out that she had travelled back in time more than just a few days or weeks. And Odd is eating exactly the same as two weeks ago, which was a once in a lifetime meal. I remember Rosa treating everyone with cake, ice cream, and something disgusting only Odd would be able to eat. And that is what he did that evening," Yumi thought.

"But where is Ulrich?" Yumi questioned herself, despite the fact that it was impossible for her to know the answer. Yumi decided to search for the others, although she had no clue as to how to go about it. Then the ball revealed something else: Until now, only you have figured out most about the return to the past, but how will you get yourself out of this mess? Yumi looked puzzled. What did the ball mean? Never before had she gotten such a quick response, because she found herself surrounded by tarantulas.

"If only I hadn't dropped that stick, because something is definitely wrong." Yumi said.
