/Three days later/
/Everyone was sitting in class/
"-And that's why the potato is one of the most important vegetables in the entire fruit food chain" said Ms. Hertz
/The entire class except for Jeremie and Aelita were extremely bored, thankfully the bell rang and the group met at the lunchtable/
"So Jimmy Finson tried to get the factory as a movie set" said William
"Better than when he made a giant teddy bear" said Yumi
"When did that happen?" asked Miranda
"That was about four years ago" said Jeremie
/Aelita's face had a look of anger as Taliea walked into the cafeteria/
"Is that that Taliea girl?" asked Dylan
"Yep and-" said Odd
"Odd, don't even say it!" warned Jeremie in anger
/Jeremie and Aelita locked hands tightly/
"Okay! Okay! Pushy aren't you?" asked Odd with a grin
"One more word Odd, one more word!" warned Aelita in anger
"Um, yes ma'am" said Odd in fear
/They saw Taliea sit with Sissi/
"Huh, I thought she seemed nice" said Chase
"NICE?! She's the opposite of nice! She nearly got me arrested!" said Jeremie
"Really? Why?" asked Dylan
"She told the government that Jeremie is a threat to national security" said Aelita
"And I thought your criminal record couldn't get bigger" said Miranda
"What? I don't have a criminal record!" said Jeremie
"Hacking into government facilities, a huge threat to national security, forging documents-" said Chase
"That was just to help Aelita and you get into Kadic" said Jeremie
"-Conspiracy, Fraud, terrorism, conspiracy to commit murder" said Rebecca
"Hacking in private data, unlawful use of a supercomputer, conspiracy against the governments of France, Russia, North Korea, and the United States" said Dylan
"Conspiracy to commit terrorism, mass hacking, a threat to the FSB" said Jennifer
"Massive amounts of illegal tampering of government security, and not reporting a threat to the government of France" said William
"Basically multiple counts of every fucking crime under the fucking sun" said Chase
"Exactly what ghost said" said Ulrich
"I- yeah I guess you got a good point" said Jeremie
"Look on the bright side, you're the most dangerous kid on the face of the Earth!" said Yumi
/Jeremie blushed with a mixture of pride and embarrassment as Aelita giggled/
"I like dating a bad boy" Aelita said with a grin and a whisper to Jeremie's ear
/Jeremie blushed deeper as Aelita giggled again/
"Alright what do we do today?" asked Ulrich
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to go on a Doctor Who marathon" said Chase
"How far along are you?" asked Rebecca
"Around the fifth doctor" said Chase
"You're that far?! I'm still watching the third!" said Yumi
"The third? When was that?" asked Ulrich
"In the 70's" said Yumi
"Well I'm out of here, see you later" said Chase
/Chase got up and started walking back to the Hermitage/
"You know what I noticed?" asked Odd
"What?" asked William
"Taliea is an anagram of Aelita" said Odd
/Jeremie and Aelita looked very annoyed/
"Wait, you used your brain?!" asked Ulrich
"We need to inform the press!" said Yumi
"He knows what an anagram is?! Where was I when hell froze over?!" asked Alexandr
/Everyone except for Odd started laughing/
"Ha ha ha" said Odd sarcastically
"What should we do about Lyoko today?" asked Yumi
"Maybe we should keep looking for Franz and Anthea" said Miranda
"Good idea" said Ulrich
"Yeah, the sooner we find mommy and daddy the better" said Aelita
"We'll find them princess, I promise" said Jeremie
/Everyone got up and started walking to the factory/
/Chase sat down next to Riley and put on an old episode of Doctor Who from the 1980's/
"You like this show boy?" asked Chase
/Riley barked with happiness/
"Yeah, I do too" said Chase
/Chase turned on an episode of the fifth doctor/
/Everyone made it into the server room/
"Alright so do you know where Franz and Anthea is?" asked Dylan
"I don't know, its just a rumor that Mason has or had them" said Jeremie
"Mason" said Dylan through gritted teeth
/Rebecca squeezed her hold on Dylan's hand as Jeremie started typing on the computer/
"So Mason could have them? Where?" asked William
"I don't know, maybe the United States or one of the NATO bases" said Jeremie
/Jeremie typed a little more until a picture popped up of Mason talking to Sergei Federov/
"Huh, looks like he knew Federov" said Jeremie
"You serious?" asked Yumi
"Could kidnapping Franz and Anthea be a revenge thing?" asked Miranda
"I doubt it, he isn't the type for revenge" said Dylan
"What do you mean?" asked Miranda
"John Mason is the type of guy who doesn't have attachments, doesn't feel, and kills anything in his way" said Dylan
"Damn, that's not good" said Rebecca
"It isn't" said Dylan
/Chase was watching Doctor Who when his phone rang/
"Hello?" asked Chase
"We know about Federov, Ghost" said a voice
/Chase sighed/
"What do you want Baseplate?" asked Chase
"We want to talk, we want you back" said Baseplate
"I told you I'm retired" said Chase
"This is serious, Mason is out of control-" said Baseplate
"I told you that I'm done" said Chase
"This is serious ghost he's going to target your friends" said Baseplate
/Chase stood up fast/
"How do you know about my friends?!" asked Chase
"We also know about your brother being there, just come and talk and we'll help you" said Baseplate
/Chase looked angry/
"Fine, outside the gates of Kadic tonight, and if you're followed then I'll burn that building you're in to the ground" said Chase
"Alright, and bring Dylan and your friends if possible" said Baseplate
"Fine" said Chase
/Chase hung up with an angry look in his face, he dialed Dylan's number/
"Hello?" asked Dylan
"Baseplate called me" said Chase
"WHAT?! How did they-" asked Dylan
"I don't know Dil! They want to talk to all of us" said Chase
"Us, you mean everybody?" asked Dylan
"Yeah, they said Mason is going to target our friends" said Chase
"Do I tell them?" asked Dylan
"They'll find out sooner or later, just get everyone and meet me at the gates" said Chase
"We're on our way" said Dylan
/Chase and Dylan hung up/
"What's going on?" asked Yumi
"We need to get to the gates" said Dylan
"Why?" asked Miranda
"An old friend of me and Chase, military friend" said Dylan
/Everyone looked at each other, and they all went into the elevator/
/Chase was standing at the gates at 9:00 when he saw everyone coming towards him/
"Alright Chase why did Baseplate call?" asked Dylan
"Baseplate? What's a Baseplate?" asked Aelita
"Long story, and all he said was to meet us here" said Chase
/Everyone heard a cough and saw a man in a trenchcoat approach, Chase pushed Dylan's wheelchair to meet the man/
"What the hell do you want now?" asked Dylan
"Mason is going to target your friends" said Baseplate
"WHAT?! What did we do?!" asked Odd
"Shut it Odd! Now what do you want with us?" asked Dylan
"Mason has-" said Baseplate
"Will you please tell us what the hell are you guys talking about?!" asked Jeremie
/Chase and Dylan sighed/
"Baseplate here was our mission coordinator for our missions" said Dylan
"We've toppled dictatorships, staged coup de tats, and assassinated corrupt leaders, all thanks to him" said Chase
/Everyone looked at Baseplate/
"What's your name?" asked William
"Classified" said Baseplate
"Why do you need Chase?" asked Jennifer
"Ghost and wolf is and always will be the best the United States has, we need them both for one mission" said Baseplate
"Look, I told you that we're retired" said Chase
"Well Mason's head should be enough to make you come out of retirement" said Baseplate
"Wait a minute, why do you want to kill a United States general?" asked Yumi
"He's dangerous and he has the keys to some of our nuclear stockpiles" said Baseplate
/Dylan and Chase looked infuriated/
"WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO GIVE HIM THE KEYS TO OUR NUKES?!" shouted Dylan
"It was before he staged that thing in Iraq with Jimmy Enheart" said Baseplate
"And you never bothered to tell us?" asked Chase
"Easy ghost, we didn't think it was going to be a problem at that time" said Baseplate
"Alright, then why should we help clean up your mess?" asked Dylan
"Mason's head on a platter, need I say more?" asked Baseplate
/Dylan and Chase looked at each other and shrugged/
"Give us a few days to think it over" said Chase
"Fine, but I want an answer when I get back" said Baseplate
"You'll get an answer when I say you will" warned Chase
/Baseplate walked away, leaving the group very confused and looking at Chase and Dylan/
"Don't ask, just follow me" said Chase
/The group except for Dylan had questioning looks, but digressed and followed Chase to the Hermitage/
"What are we doing here for?" asked William
"You'll see" said Chase
/Everyone followed Chase to his room, he barged in and took out the box that had his journal in it/
"Why do you have that?" asked Ulrich
"You guys didn't look deep enough" said Chase
/Chase got out his journal and threw it to the ground, he got out everything and threw them to the ground except for a piece of black cloth at the bottom, he got it out and dropped the box/
"What is that?" asked Aelita
"The face of a ghost" said Chase
/Chase unfurled the cloth, a mask, he put it on and it had a skull imprint on the front, it also had marks and burns on it from several dozen missions/
"Dude, that is a nice mask" said Odd
"Balaclava, and I think so too" said Chase
/Chase walked to his closet and closed the door, he walked out several minutes later wearing black military fatigues/
"Wow" said Rebecca
/Chase got an M4 from his closet and then got all of his equipment, he put it on and cocked his heavily modified M4/
"You look like you're going for war" said Jennifer
"I have, many times" said Chase
"What's with the outfit?" asked Odd
"Soldiers attack their enemies but a ghost haunts them" said Chase
"What?" asked Miranda
"This mask is the last thing a lot of people have seen before I killed them" said Chase
"Well now I'm scared of ghosts" said Odd
"Not just him, I have the same mask and outfit in my room" said Dylan
/The group looked at the two of them like they were crazy/
"Is anything normal in your life?" asked Jennifer
"No" said Chase and Dylan
"I thought so" said Jennifer
"So are you going after Mason or not?" asked Miranda
"Probably not, but he still has to die" said Chase
"Alright, but why are you wearing a black military outfit?" asked Miranda
"I wore this for every mission, it helped build the legend of the ghost" said Chase
"So this is what the ghost wears?" asked Rebecca
"Yep and like I said, this mask is the last thing a lot of people saw" said Chase
"And that outfit let you hide in the shadows really good" stated Jeremie
"You're right, nobody ever saw me coming" said Chase
"So you killed people?" asked William
/Chase sighed a little/
"Yeah many times, and I am not proud of it" said Chase
"How many?" asked Ulrich
"I lost count" said Chase
"Damn, so what about Mason?" asked Rebecca
"I'll sleep over it because sooner or later he will be dead" said Chase
"Well don't forget that we still need you for XANA attacks" said Jeremie
"I'm not forgetting that, but Mason still needs to die" said Chase
/Chase took off the mask and put his M4 back in the closet/
