Chapter 12

The next morning, Spidey return to his nomral self without the second clone woke up a little late after a peaceful night of sleep, notices Aelita and Dawn sleeping on him, so he kiss their foreheads and got out of bed and he changed, shower, brushed his teeth, and went for a walk with Blade Wolf, as he was walking around the school, he heard a beep coming from his phone. He quickly thought it was just Aelita or Dawn wishing him a good morning or wondering where he was.

After he sat down on a brench with Blade Wolf on his rear end, he got out his phone and turn it on and saw he recived one new text message. But when he looked at the number, he saw it wasn't from Aelita or Dawn or any of his friends. It was a message from Joel.

Spidey raised an eyebrow. He and Joel have a very good relationship to say the least, this was the first time Joel acknowledged him ever since they came here. Spidey took a deep breath and clicked a App on his phone to open the new message, his eyes scanned when he saw it was a paragraph long.

Spidey

This is Joel! I have received some news about a thing me and Ellie seen, some of the students here, feeling a bit under the weather. So, watch out for any people with hunching backs, lack of talking, gray in their eyes. The weather in the sky is looking a bit glooming and sickly gray. Now I'm warning you Spidey, keep your friends closer and enemies far way, way far from you and the group. Trust me on this, I think these people are probably turning infected by some virus or XANA. Keep up your guard.

-Joel.

In a curious state of danger, Spidey uses his spider sense as he looked around for any strange states like that.

Spidey put his phone down on the brench. The text message he got from Joel, has cause some strange thoughts. If there were any people turning zombines that can cause a major problem for the doctors or nurses like that, knowing some of these people don't know about zombines they going to get bitted and turn into them, Spidey looks at the sky and Joel was right, it was gloomy with gray and a bit windy. Spidey sees no way they can't protect themselves from this virus. Well, not exactly.

When XANA did it two times with Kiwi and the cell phone. After that, he created the Colossus to kill Franz Hopper, which XANA didn't shut down after that, and stop the gang from destroying him, Spidey felt like giving up right then and there. But he didn't. As half samurai, he lives to protect. He summoned his courage and put the giant monster against Dragoon, getting bigger then it, stopped it right there and there. Which ended with Spidey and Dragoon putting an end ot the Colossus, which was a MAJOR part in the gang killing XANA's plans, forever.

But now, Spidey just doesn't know what to do. He's the Ultimate Hero, the reason why he is, he lives by codes and honors of a hero and samurai, especially from Dawn and Aelita. But, Spidey's efforts that will not be enough.

Spidey was knocked out back to reality by the sound of his cell phone ringing, which was laying next to him. Not bothering to check the caller id, he answered call and put the phone to his ear. "Hello?"

"Good Morning Spidey!" Aelita and Dawn's upbeat voices came from the other end of the phone. "I'm calling to make sure you where are at."

"Oh, Morning Princess and Northen Light." Spidey responded, his back leaning against the little wall while he sat on the brench. "I just got changed and went for a walk, so I'll be heading to our usual spot."

With that, Spidey hung up the cell phone and let out a soft sigh. Spidey's usually one of those kids that wears his emotions on his sleeves like Ulrich and people can tell when he's upset by his body language or his forehead.

"We need to get off this planet." Spidey sighed.

He got up from the brench and he and Blade Wolf headed for the vending machines. While Spidey walked down the walk way, all he could think about was Joel's message. Would Joel's warning tells him to get gone along with the gang? Having to leave this place, leaving this school. But what happens if Aelita was leave behind, his princess. The thought of that alone wanted to make Spidey vomit.

There's only one way off of this planet. Leaving the dimension.

You see, Spidey has this magically train in form of a card. The Travelion or Solar Streak Express, it's only the way out of this dimension by traveling interdimensional. He only told Dawn and his gang about this, not Aelita or the others.

Spidey was a few feet away from the typical hang out spot, which is the vending machines, when he heard someone call his name. He looked up and saw the gang relaxing near a couple machine, excluding Sissy, William, Joel, or Ellie.

Spidey put his best fake smile on and checked his pockets, looking for any loose change he can find. "What's up mateys?" Spidey said casually, sliding past Herb and Nicholas so he can put his money in the machine and make his purchase, which was the hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is popular this time of year, considering the cold temperature.

"We were just talking about some things." Nicholas replied, a cup of orange juice in his hand. "I never knew about XANA until now."

"Yeah, that's what we do for a living." Spidey said with a smirk, leaning against the wall with Pikachu and Beautifly on him with Drago, Skyress, and Dojo on him.

The group continued to chat as they awaited the warning bell for first period class.

A few hours later

Spidey and the others exited their science class and headed to the lunchroom. Spidey, Dawn, and Aelita are hand in hand, smiles across their faces. Though Spidey still can't shake the text message he received out of his mind from Joel.

As they entered, they found themselves face to face with William and Sissy. Sissy and William are holding hands and look like they're in the process of leaving the cafeteria. Spidey, who hasn't seen or spoken to William since the hospital encounter find this very awkward.

William stared deep into Spidey's eyes for a few minutes, like he was searching for something within the brunette. Sissy just smiled kindly at her friends, though she did not dare break the silence. Then after a moment of awkward silence, William and Sissy walked passed the group without saying a word.

When the couple left the cafeteria, Dawn and the gang glanced at Spidey, who was just staring blankly ahead of him. He was still trying to piece together what just happened in his mind. Does William still have lingering hatred for him?

After a brief moment, Spidey shook it off and looked back at his friends, who were still staring at him and awaiting to see what he was to go next. "Come let's get some food before they run out." Spidey said with a small smile and walked ahead of the others. "I'm starving."

The gang gave each other a small glance before deciding to follow Spidey. The humans each got a tray full of food and took a seat in the normal table they sat at everday, the little sat on the brench near the gang. Spidey, Dawn, and Aelita of course sat next to each other by Spidey's sides while the other two sat across from the couple.

The gang of friends had a few conversations about random topics while they ate their lunch. Towards the end of the lunch break, the ringtone of Herb's cell phone filled the air so he instinctively pulled the phone out of his pocket and looked at the contact before answering. "Emily, what's up?" Herb asked calmly. A minute goes by with complete silence. "Emily, are you there?" Once again, there is complete silence.

Spidey's spider sense goes off. 'Crap.' Spidey thoughts, which Dawn sense it with her aura link to Spidey, after Dragoon told her what the text message, which Blade Wolf told the others not Aelita, when she knows what about to happened.

Suddenly, Herb's phone was covered in electricity and gave it's holder an electric shock. Herb, stunned, dropped his phone to the ground and jumped out of his seat. "Jezz, are you ok Herb?" Aelita asked, her eyes wide in shock. "I hate that piece of junk..." Herb grumbled to himself.

Suddenly there were groaning and moaning coming from a far away table. Spidey looks at the person who was moaning and groaning, noticing the hunching back, lack of talking, and the gray skin.

Dawn walked over to where Herb dropped his phone and picked the device up. After briefly analyzing the device, she let out an audible sigh. "I don't think it's your phone's fault Herb." Dawn showed it to the group, which caused them to widen their eyes in shock and Aelita almost broke down in tears. The Eye of XANA is clearly visible on the front of Herb's cell phone.
