The Two Spies

Johnny's head laid back on the bench with his arms outstretched on the top. To anyone passing by, he would look like a guy who was relaxing in the sun. "Hi, Arrow," a voice called him. Johnny looked up to see Yumi, Sissi, and Aelita coming towards him. He chuckled a little. This picture made it look like all the girls were now falling for him.

"What's up?" Johnny greeted laying his head back on the bench.

"The team just destroyed the Mountain Sector," Sissi said as they sat on the bench. Johnny's head shot up.

"Already? It's not even 8:00am. Who did the mission?" Johnny questioned.

"Jeremy, Lion, Aelita, and I. We decided to do it early so Platon wouldn't have time to get many monsters on the field. How you doing? You look tired," Yumi mentioned.

"No, I'm just relaxing. It's Sunday, no classes, not one Platon attack for the entire month, and we just took down now four sectors. I'm just relaxing my muscles. Although," Johnny said ominously looking around, "I am here just wondering about who's Pink's spies."

"Wouldn't my mother want to use adults to do it?" Aelita asked.

"Not necessarily. You mother knows the potential that kids can have. So it could be anyone," Sissi explained.

"But who," Johnny questioned. Then he relaxed back, "Well, it doesn't really matter. As long as she doesn't do anything we'll regret. Hey, has Lion decided whether or not to give Odd his lion?"

"Not yet," Lion said from behind, startling everyone, "I'm still mulling it over." A couple girls walked by Mr. Lion giggling while he waved at them. Johnny smiled as he shook his head.

"Still got that charm I see," Johnny commented. Then they saw Tamiya coming up.

"So do you," Lion whispered in his ear.

"Hi, Johnny. Could you help me with some leftover homework?" Tamiya asked.

"You know, Tamiya, I could help you too," Lion offered, but she respectfully declined.

"No thank, Mr. Lion. I just wanted Johnny to help me out," Tamiya said.

"Flirt," Yumi coughed to Johnny. Johnny quickly and lightly hit Yumi in side.

"Sure, Tamiya, I'll help," He said standing up and running away with her.

"Well, that was cute," Lion said jumping over the bench and sitting where Johnny sat, "Oh by the way, we've decided that when we destroy the Volcano replica, we'll bring Xavier out." The three girls looked at him in amazement.

"Jeremy and Kiwi figured out the code?" Aelita asked. Lion nodded.

"And we're going to launch your code while we do that too," Lion said to Sissi.

"That's a lot happening at one time. Do you think it's a good idea?" Sissi questioned.

"It will have to happen so fast that Platon doesn't see it coming. So we're going to need very few people in the Skid for it. That and Jeremy knows about code," Lion said.

"We're also going to have to weaken the sector from the outside too. It almost too strong for the Elimination code," Sissi mentioned, "I'll just need to activate a tower on Lyoko quickly."

"Sure," Lion agreed.

"So what's the code that Sissi's made?" Aelita asked. Lion and Sissi smiled.

"It's a surprise! You're just going to have to wait," Lion said in a singsong voice. Aelita pouted a little for not knowing.

"So what do we do today?" Yumi asked.

"Right now, we rest. I mean our muscles are sore and everything's okay," Lion said relaxing his back. Then his head shot up. "Wait up. Where's Hiroki?" They turned their heads to see Hiroki and Milly walking together giggling. "Well, our little people are up to their old charms. It's seems happiness is all around us. So how did your date with William go?" Sissi blushed.

"It was nice," She said simply. Lion and the others smiled. Then Hiroki and Milly came over.

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Hiroki smiled.

"Good, very good," Lion replied, "And how are you, Milly."

"Good Mr. Lion," Milly greeted stalely, "Hiroki, I have to go now. See you," She said kissing him on the cheek. Hiroki blushed as she ran away.

"I love life," Hiroki said in a daze. Aelita, Sissi, and Yumi all laughed at Hiroki.

"You know, I've noticed that Milly and Tamiya seem to be the only girls that don't seem to like me," Lion observed.

"They like you," Yumi said, "They just...well...now that you mention it, they do seem a little more hostile to you than with us." Hiroki defended her.

"Hey, Milly's just fine, okay. If she doesn't seem to talk much to Lion, than that's that. Nothing strange," He argued.

"Easy Romeo," Sissi calmed, "No one accused anyone. We're just looking at the events."

"Well, you do have a point," Hiroki confessed, "But what does that mean?"

"It means that they just don't like me," Lion stated simply, "But just why they seem to not like me is where I'm confused. Well, I'm going to sleep. If you want me, you know how to find me." Lion stood up and went to his room. Hiroki went to find Milly. She jumped when Hiroki found her in the woods.

"Hiroki! What...What are you doing here?" She asked startled and nervous. It looked like she was talking over the phone with someone.

"I was just looking for you to ask you a question," Hiroki said wondering why she was so jumpy.

"Um...sure what...what is it?" Milly asked nervous.

"Why do you seem not to like Mr. Lion? He's really a nice guy," Hiroki asked. Milly calmed down.

"It's not that hate him. I just don't see why so many girls fall for him," Milly replied.

"Okay, but that still doesn't explain why you don't seem to get along with him," Hiroki asked. Milly pouted a little.

"Look, Hiroki, I just know something about Lion that no one else knows about." Soon her watch beeped, "See you, I've got to go." She ran off.

"See you," Hiroki said still confused. When she rounded the corner, Hiroki heard Milly gasped and screamed. He ran to her to see a man in a black suit holding her by the throat. Hiroki couldn't show her his Lion powers, so he grabbed a big stick and whacked the man, who phased a little dropping Milly. Milly grabbed Hiroki's hand and ran for cover. "What's happening?"

"I didn't want this to come up now," Milly muttered as she hit her fist against the wall. Then Hiroki's watch beeped.

"Hey lover boy! Time to move it! Platon's attacking," Sissi said over the watch.

"You know Platon?" Milly asked surprised.

"YOU know Platon?" Hiroki repeated surprised.

"Ooooo, I called at a bad time, didn't I?" Sissi said regretfully.

"No, you just revealed something to us that we didn't know about each other," Hiroki said looking harshly at a guilty Milly, "What's the attack this time?"

"It looks like Platon's just targeting you and Johnny," Sissi stated, "I don't know why."

"I do," Hiroki muttered, "Who's on Lyoko?"

"Yumi, Aelita, William, and Ulrich. Odd and Kiwi are coming to support you. Don't worry, I'll have a RETURN TO THE PAST soon enough," Sissi said.

"Don't bother. I don't think we'll need it. And tell Odd and Kiwi to shut down the tower first," Hiroki signed out. He glared at Milly.

"Hehehe. I've got a confession to make," Milly said rubbing her arm. Then a shot nearly shot her down.

"Let's talk about this later," Hiroki said as they ran.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Johnny exclaimed as Tamiya and him ducked behind a bush. Another man was hunting them down. "So when were you going to tell me?!"

"When were you going to tell me?!" Tamiya asked back. Then she smiled, "Looks like we're both secretive," she said holding Johnny's hand. Johnny blushed.

"Yeah, I guess," He smiled. Then an explosion came from behind them, "We got to go."

"So how are you guys holding up?" Sissi asked.

"Four armored mantas, four shielded Volkanoids, and a horde of Kamikaze Kankerlots. Other than that, easy," Ulrich said plunging his sword into the manta, "Okay, three mantas."

"Come on guys," Aelita said shouting a kankerlot, "We got to get to that tower." Then Yumi came up with a brilliant idea.

"I've got an idea. But it's a little cheap. HEY UGLIES!" Yumi shouted grabbing the attention of all the monsters, "The code to being invincible is in that tower over on the other side of the sector!" There was a slight pause. Then all the monsters raced over to the tower. The team stood there in amazement.

"I can't believe that worked," Sissi said amazed. Soon, Xavier de-activated the tower. "Good work guys." Then Milly, Johnny, Hiroki, and Tamiya came into the Supercomputer room. Johnny was smiling in a laughing mood, Milly and Tamiya looked down ashamed, and Hiroki looked madder than when Yumi's mad. (and that's saying something). "Um...is there some reason you brought them here?" Sissi asked.

"We've got something to tell you," Milly said. She explained the situation. Sissi sighed.

"Lion is going to be very mad," Sissi muttered.
