/Everyone was sitting at the lunchtable/
"I have something to tell you guys" said Yumi
"What is it Yumes?" asked Ulrich
"I- I might be moving back to Japan" said Yumi
/The group either went wide eyed or gasped/
"What?!" asked Ulrich
"My dad got laid off from his job and there's some openings in Kyoto" said Yumi
"You can't move back! We need you!" said Aelita
"I know that but what else can I do?!" asked Yumi
/Ulrich thought to himself and he had an idea that involved the winning lottery numbers/
"Damn, this is a total FUBAR situation" said Chase
"No shit, we got to find a way to fix this" said Dylan
"Yep, how long until you leave Yumi?" asked Alexandr
"A few weeks" said Yumi
"We got until then to figure this out" said Rebecca
"Until then we got to get to class" said Jennifer
"I'm coming too" said Chase
/They got up and walked out of the cafeteria/
"Goddamn this isn't good" said Dylan
"We already lost William, we can't lose anybody else" said Jeremie
"We got a few weeks, I'll keep asking my dad if he found anything near here" said Yumi
"Alright, I got to go" said Ulrich
"What? Why?" asked Rebecca
"Class, see you later" said Ulrich
/They all said bye (Yumi's was a kiss) and he started walking not to class, but towards the factory/
/The group except for Chase and Jennifer was walking towards class when Milly and Tamiya walked up to them/
"Guys follow us!" said Milly
"What's wrong?" asked Jeremie
"Theo's going to try and fight Chase!" said Tamiya
/They started running to follow them, and they saw Chase standing in the middle of a crowd of students with Theo walking around him/
"What's going on?" asked Aelita
"Theo pushed Chase and started hitting on Jennifer" said Milly
/Theo stopped in front of Chase/
"So what are you going to do about it?" asked Theo
"I'll tell you, give you one last chance to back away before I kick your ass" said Chase
/Theo laughed, turned around, and then backhanded Chase in the face, after that Chase started chuckling/
"What's so funny Enheart?" asked Theo
"Just imagining the look on your face when I kick it in" said Chase
/Chase ducked another punch and tackled Theo, he started punching him as Jim approached/
"Enheart! Theo! What's going on?!" asked Jim
/He pulled off Chase/
"I- I was asking out Jennifer when he just started hitting me!" said Theo
"After you punched and pushed me!" said Chase
"Chase is telling the truth Jim!" said Jennifer
"I'll let the principal decide, now both of you off your feet and follow me!" said Jim
/He grabbed Theo and Chase by the collars as the white light of the RTTP engulfed everything/
/The group except for Ulrich was by the vending machine/
"What the hell just happened?" asked Dylan
"Was that the return trip?" asked Chase
"Yes it was" said Jeremie
"Could XANA be controlling it?" asked Aelita
"I'm not sure, we got to get to the factory" said Jeremie
/They nodded and ran towards the factory/
/They entered the elevator and went to the server room/
"God this isn't good" said Rebecca
"Yeah, I know what you mean" said Odd
"You two are talking again?" asked Chase
"We might as well, but I'm never dating his sodding arse again" said Rebecca
"I love the British terms" said Dylan
"I know you do" said Rebecca with a wink
/Jeremie sat down and typed on the computer, he pulled up a video feed/
"This is the security camera footage from today" said Jeremie
/He fast forwarded until they saw a familiar face come out of the elevator and start typing on the keyboard/
"What, the, hell is he doing?!" asked Dylan
"Is that Ulrich?!" asked Aelita
"Yeah, and I've got a few questions for him" said Chase
"Same here" said Alexandr
"Lets go find him" said Jeremie
/They all got in the elevator, walked back to Kadic, and waited by the vending machines/
"There's Ulrich" said Yumi
/Ulrich walked over/
"Hey guys" said Ulrich
"I've really got to hand it to you Ulrich" said Jeremie
"What are you talking about?" asked Ulrich
"You know what we're talking about" said Aelita
"Using the return trip codes with no mistakes, not too bad for your first time" said Jeremie
"Ulrich what the fuck is going through your head? You do realize XANA gets more powerful every time we use that right?" asked Dylan
"I know that! But it was either that or Yumi goes back to Japan!" said Ulrich
/She walked up and shoved a piece of paper in his chest/
"Here! My parents said keep the money!" said Yumi
"Guys!" said Ulrich
"We're not speaking to you until we figure out what to do about this" said Jennifer
/They all started walking away/
"Chase! You understand right?" asked Ulrich
/Chase sighed and turned to Ulrich/
"I understand and frankly if it was Jennifer and I was in your shoes I probably would have done the same. But it still was something you should have consulted us with, I'm sorry Ulrich but I can't talk to you until this blows over" said Chase
/Chase walked away leaving Ulrich standing there in shame and self pity/
/The weeks rolled by and Ulrich was ignored, everyone was sitting in the lunchroom a few days before Yumi would have to move back to Japan/
"So, how are we going to fix this?" asked Jeremie
"I don't have a goddamn idea" said Dylan
"I just don't know how we're going to fix this" said Chase
/Everyone sat in a stressful silence until Jeremie's laptop beeped/
"XANA?" asked Aelita
"Yeah" said Jeremie
"Good, I need to kill some ugly things right now" said Chase
"Hoorah" said Dylan
/They all got up and ran to the factory/
/Everyone slid down the rope and got in the elevator, they got in the server room a minute or two later/
"Get down to the scanners now!" said Jeremie
/Everyone ran downstairs and got in the Desert sector a few minutes later/
"Which way Einstein?" asked Odd
"Go north and be careful, XANA's sending a welcoming committee" said Jeremie
"Good, I love to oblige" said Chase
/Dylan and Chase got on their Panzercycles and noticed XANA's monsters coming over the horizon/
"We got this" said Dylan
/Chase and Dylan started driving towards the monsters/
/In the scanner room/
"Alright guys I- what the heck?" asked Jeremie
/He noticed one of the wires sizzling/
"Oh no" said Jeremie
/A specter came out of the wire and electrocuted him as Ulrich came out of the elevator/
"Jeremie!" said Ulrich
/He grabbed a loose pipe from near the wire and hit the specter until it disappeared/
"Ulrich?" asked Jeremie
"Jeremie! Are you alright?" asked Ulrich
/Jeremie tried to get up but pain stopped him/
"No, no you need to get to the computer" said Jeremie
"Are you sure?" asked Ulrich
"Yeah, just put on the headset and warn everyone if one of XANA's monsters is heading towards them" said Jeremie
"Got it, just wait here" said Ulrich
"(Chuckles) Yeah, not like I was getting up" said Jeremie
/Ulrich sat down and put on the headset as Chase and Dylan were finishing off the monsters with their Panzercycles/
"Guys? Can you hear me?" asked Ulrich
"Ulrich? Where's Jeremie?" asked Dylan
"Specter got him" said Ulrich
"Is he alright?!" asked Aelita
"Yeah he's still conscious, you need to get to the tower" said Ulrich
"Yeah, I think I see it" said Chase
/The group gathered near the two Panzercycles and noticed the tower a good distance away/
"How many hostiles?" asked Dylan
"I think its probably around sixteen" said Ulrich
"Great, I love challenges" said Odd
"Not as much as me" said Chase
/Jennifer walked up/
"I think I can pick out a few from the ridgeline" said Jennifer
"I don't know, there's a shitload of them, and god forbid if they notice you on the ridge" said Dylan
"You got a better idea?" asked Jennifer
"I do" said Rebecca
"What?" asked Chase
"Well, maybe you two can lure some of them away with the panzercycles, while we take potshots on whoever's left" said Rebecca
"That's, actually a good idea" said Dylan
"Well lets do it" said Rebecca
/Chase and Dylan got on their bikes and shouted something in English at the monsters, at least ten of them followed them as they drove away/
"How many is left?" asked Alexandr
"Six" said Yumi
"That many? Alright I'm getting my rifle" said Jennifer
"We'll move in" said Odd
/Jennifer got out her sniper while everyone else moved in to a ambush position/
/Chase and Dylan were driving away from a big group of Hornets, Krabs, and Blocks/
"They still on us?!" asked Dylan
"Its not like they're just going to walk away!" said Chase
"I know, but still!" said Dylan
/Jennifer and the group ambushed the last six monsters and took care of them easily/
"Get in there Aelita!" said Rebecca
/Aelita nodded and ran into the tower and deactivated it/
/Everyone was back at the vending machine/
"So, we're good?" asked Ulrich
"Yeah, as long as you don't do anything that stupid again" said Yumi
"So when are you moving?" asked Chase
"Actually my dad found another job nearby, so I'm staying!" said Yumi
"Really?!" asked everyone
"Yep" said Yumi
"That's great!" said Ulrich
/Everyone made a small cheer as the bell rang/
