Binas: Now, time for a few episode chapters. Not going to be really accurate so let's cross our fingers that I don't give you guys any chapters that have the value of crap.
And by the way, Kagome has NO IDEA that Inuyasha is an unofficial Lyoko Warrior. But we will cross the bridge of exposure when we get to it.
I will either use Mr. Delmas or Principal Delmas, just know they are the same person and I am using 'Mr. Delmas' for simplicity reasons.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Lyoko means 'travel' in Japanese?
.
Last time...
After Kagome took a few breaths before stomping away, leaving Inuyasha in his personal, miniature crater. Inuyasha moaned as he crawled out of the crater with an irritated look. He managed to get to his feet, once he was out of the crater.
"I have had girls slap me in the face but, this takes the cake.", Odd said, "You got it bad, don't you?"
"Shut up...", Inuyasha growled.
Kiwi, by this point, had already went in odd's bag due to Kagome scaring the crap out of him. Kiwi whimpered in the bag. Odd heard his dog whimpering, and not even caring about the mess, took Kiwi out and began comforting his little dog.
.
"Come on! Come on!", Jeremie chanted anxiously as he ran the antivirus trial.
The trial flunked big time in the trial run, giving Jeremie the big red exclamation point once more. Jeremie moaned in disappointment.
"I am so lame!", Jeremie moaned.
"How can you be lame if you failed?", Inuyasha asked.
"Inuyasha, you're not helping!", Jeremie snapped.
"Good grief, you sound like Kagome now!", Inuyasha exasperated.
Jeremie gave Inuyasha a small glare before going back to his work on the antivirus. At that moment, Yumi, Odd, Aelita, and Ulrich entered the room.
"What's up? You look kinda stressed Jeremie.", Yumi said.
"Are you okay?", Aelita asked.
"Lately, I've been trying to use the data for the antivirus and trying to decode Franz Hopper's diary. Even with the latest data we got from Sector 5, I haven't moved ahead one micron! What if I'm just… just not good enough?", Jeremie said.
"Stop the self pity! The last time I checked, it gets you no where but yourself killed!", Inuyasha said.
Jeremie threw one of his stray boxers at Inuyasha. Inuyasha growled.
"Uh... I think I know someone who needs to air out his neurons a little!", Ulrich said trying to find the right words.
"Cheer up Einstein! I have been working on a short film, and I want you to come and watch it!", Odd said.
"What's a film?", Inuyasha asked.
"You will find out when you see it.", Odd said.
Later in the theater...
"How's it going, Odd? No butterflies yet?", Ulrich asked Odd, confusing Aelita a bit.
"No! I... I... I... I'm... cool…" said Odd as sweat started to drench his face.
"Hmph, you'd never guess!", Sissi said from behind the projector.
"Relax, I'm sure you're going to be great!", Herb said as he sat down next to Sissi.
"Move your hand or lose it at the elbow!", Sissi snapped.
Mr. Chardin walked up onto the stage. People in the audience clapped for him. Inuyasha was confused by this gesture. Kagome gave him a look that said 'relax'.
"The short film is, was, and always will be an important art form, which can say as much as a full-length feature! Our first film is by Odd Della Robbia!", Mr. Chardin said into the mic, which made Inuyasha want to cover his ears a bit, "It's poetically called, Natural Grandeur. No one has seen it yet, but it's enough to imagine the devastation to our fragile ecosystems."
The film begun to roll. Inuyasha was amazed how humans were able to make images appear in this fashion. Kagome told him that it was because of something called a projector.
{AN: Underlined means it is in the clip from here until the next tag like this one.}
"HELP! HELP! HELP!", Odd screamed as he ran down the hallways frantically.
"What's all this racket about, huh?!", Jim asked, being played by Romain Le Goff.
The real Jim laughed at first then realized, Odd was making fun of him again and glared at the purple, yellow, and pink clad boy. Inuyasha cocked his head, not sure if this was suppose to be funny, or just down right stupid.
"We have to get out of here! She... She... She's coming! I tell you, she's as big as her ego!", Odd said frantically.
"That's impossible! You know how big that would make her? I think you've lost your senses! Alright, let's go to the infirmary!", Jim said.
More laughter roared from the crowd. Inuyasha was still confused.
The camera panned up as violent thumping came towards them.
"It's too late! SHE FOUND US!", Odd screamed.
A giant Sissi was storming up to them. Everyone laughed at the scene's slow motion voice and movements that were done just for Sissi. Inuyasha just kept on blinking.
"Oooohhhhh raaaatsss, IIIIIIII juuuuuussst brooooke aaa naaaaiiiiil!", Sissi said.
{End of tag.}
That had everyone laughing. Sissi was furious at what Odd did to her character for the short-movie.
"I didn't know you could be so funny, Sissi!", Herb laughed.
"Shut it dweeb!", Sissi said as she got up and turned off the projector.
Smoke emerged from the projector and electrocuted Sissi briefly. Inuyasha perked up at this and growled.
"Inuyasha, get back in your seat!", Kagome snapped in a whisper.
Inuyasha didn't listen. Instead, he jumped out of his seat, literally, and landed next to the projector. He sniffed it and looked around it. No sign of shortage or anything. By this time, everyone was already crowding around Sissi to even notice Inuyasha's abnormal jumping distance.
"Inuyasha!", Kagome said in annoyance.
"That's weird. Normally stuff like lightning leave scorch marks.", Inuyasha mused to himself.
Inuyasha looked at Sissi's hands. No sign of electrocution. Kagome was giving Inuyasha a glare but Inuyasha didn't care. Other thoughts were going through his head. But jealousy was going through Kagome's.
'Is this XANA's doing?', Inuyasha thought.
"Uoy pleh nac I. Reppoh Znarf m'I. Won uoy htiw tcatnoc otni retne ot tnaw I. Uoy pleh nac I.", Sissi said.
"Huh?", Inuyasha asked confused by what he heard Sissi say.
"Sissi! Are you okay?", Mr. Delmas said as he came over.
"I'll take care of this, Mr. Delmas", Jim said and turned to Sissi, "I think you've lost your senses. Alright, let's go to the infirmary."
Jim lead Sissi away.
"Alright children, I want you all to head to your dorm rooms quietly.", Mr. Delmas said.
As the kids existed the theater, Kagome called from the isle between the two groups of chairs.
"Oh Inuyasha...", Kagome said.
"Oh crap...", Inuyasha said as his face fell.
Mr. Delmas was barely out of the theater when he heard shouting and crashing. He turned around and was surprised at what he saw.
"SIT BOY!", Kagome shouted, "SIT BOY!"
Inuyasha was on the ground, swearing at his luck.
"What's going on?", Mr. Delmas asked.
"IT WASN'T WHATEVER YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS WORTH PUNISHING ME!", Inuyasha shouted, "SO STOP IT!"
Mr. Delmas cleared his throat, catching the duo's attention.
"What is the meaning of this?", Mr. Delmas asked.
"Uhhhhhhhhh...", Kagome stuttered.
'Should have made sure no one was looking! How could I be so stupid?! He's gonna find out! It's all over!', Kagome thought.
'This is not what I had in mind for making her to stop...', Inuyasha thought, 'Maybe I can get her to stop the unnecessary ones...'
"She was sitting me for being concerned for Sissi. I thought something fishy was going on.", Inuyasha said in an irritated tone as he decided to use his foot to scratch his ear.
This gesture confused Mr. Delmas, but Kagome was hoping this didn't get Mr. Delmas suspicious. Thankfully, the bandana didn't move enough to reveal Inuyasha's ears.
"Inuyasha, you need to shut up...", Kagome whispered.
"Like heck I will!", Inuyasha said.
"Enough squabbling you two. Obviously you two don't know how to communicate to each other properly. I want you two to talk out your problems. Violence won't solve misunderstandings like this! Kagome Higurashi, you will have detention for four hours. That will give you plenty of time to think about what Inuyasha stated.", Mr. Delmas said sternly, "I do not want have a repeat."
"Yes sir.", Kagome said sadly.
Inuyasha didn't want Kagome to know that he was thinking about her detention so he put on his annoyed face. But really, on the inside, he was shouting with joy with the goofiest grin he could make.
'YES! THE WENCH FINALLY GETS WHAT SHE DESERVES FOR SITTING ME WITHOUT A REASON!', Inuyasha thought inside like a kid in a candy store.
A few minutes later in Jeremie and Inuyasha's room...
"Is this XANA's doing?", Yumi asked.
Jeremie pulled up the Superscan on his computer and let it run through. It finished with no towers activated.
"No activated tower.", Jeremie said after the scan was completed.
"This was not XANA's doing.", Aelita said.
"Oh, poor Sissi! I have to admit that her acting was real electrifying!", Odd said.
"So it was just a false alarm.", Yumi said, "That means we can get some sleep."
"Yeah! That works out just fine because tomorrow is Sunday, and on Sunday…", Ulrich said.
"We sleep in!", Odd finished with a fist pump.
Later that night...
Sissi opened the door to Jeremie and Inuyasha's dorm room. She woke up both of them and began to talk in the weird language once more, indicating, that she hasn't recovered. She headed to the computer desk.
"Wha? What are you doing here?", Inuyasha asked.
"Sissi, what has gotten into you?!", Jeremie asked.
Sissi took out a pencil and paper and began to write. It was written in the exact same strange language that she was currently talking in.
"What is all this noise?"
It was Jim. Jim entered the room and saw Sissi writing at the desk.
"Sissi? You should be in the infirmary!", Jim said and dragged Sissi away.
Jeremie walked up to the desk and looked at the message.
The next morning...
Ulrich and Odd were sleeping. Ulrich's phone began to go off, making Ulrich instinctively pull his pillow over his ears before answering it.
"Jeremie! It's Sunday!", Ulrich complained, "Okay... We are coming."
Ulrich walked up Odd's bed.
"Wake up, Odd! Jeremie wants to come over to his dorm room.", Ulrich said.
Odd lifted his head up groggily.
"Doesn't he know the meaning of 'Sunday' and 'Sleeping in'?", Odd asked.
"He says this is important so come on.", Ulrich said.
A short time later, in the lab...
"Let me get this straight. A message in code, written by Sissi?", Ulrich said with a confused look.
"It's true. She needs to be a little quieter the next time if she doesn't want to wake me up.", Inuyasha said.
"I ran the supercomputer all night to translate it, and look at what came up.", Jeremie said opening a audio program.
"I can help you. I want to enter into contact with you now…", A distorted, deep voice said.
Inuyasha covered his ears as the scratchy audio played. He frowned at the speakers on Jeremie's computer.
"Couldn't you get it to sound less scratchy?", Inuyasha asked.
"Sorry, I will try to fix that.", Jeremie said.
"I can help you?!", Yumi asked with a slight raise in her voice.
"It's gotta be a trap set by XANA!", Ulrich said, "It must have managed to possess Sissi without a tower!"
"I don't think so. Otherwise, Sissi would've gone after me. She would have tried to take me to Lyoko, so that the Scyphozoa could steal my memory," Aelita said.
"Aelita is right. Someone or something wants to contact us through.", Jeremie said, "But it's not XANA."
"Then who is it?", Odd asked.
"That I do not know... In order to find out, we would have to talk to Sissi.", Jeremie said.
"Are you sure?", Inuyasha asked.
"Positive.", Jeremie said.
"Anyone care to join me?", Yumi said turning to the others.
"I will just incase this is a trap or if someone tries to stop you.", Inuyasha said.
"Well, I'm your man, Yumi! Well…you know what I mean!", Odd said as he waved his hand in the air.
Ulrich patted Jeremie on his back.
"I'll go for a ride on Lyoko. I still want to make sure that XANA is not setting up a trap as well.", Ulrich said.
"I will come with you.", Aelita said.
Everyone turned to Aelita. Jeremie showed concern in his eyes.
"With the Scyphozoa and all! It's dangerous!", Jeremie said.
Aelita gently pushed up Jeremie's glasses.
"Stop worrying about me, Jeremie.", Aelita said, "I will be alright."
"If you say so...", Inuyasha said as he, Odd, and Yumi left.
Ulrich and Aelita went into the scanner room. They both stepped into the scanners.
"Transfer, Ulrich. Transfer Aelita.", Jeremie said starting up the process, "Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner Aelita. Virtualization."
On Lyoko...
Once the process was completed, Ulrich and Aelita landed in the Forest Sector. The Overbike comes into existance beside the two. Ulrich smiled.
"Great timing! Nice work, Jeremie.", Ulrich said.
"Thank you. Now hurry up! It's just reconnaissance.", Jeremie said.
Ulrich nodded and got on to the Overbike with Aelita. The two sped through the Forest Sector.
In front of the school...
When Inuyasha, Odd, and Yumi arrived, they saw an ambulance and Sissi on a gurney. Mr. Delmas watches from the side as the medical responders rolled the gurney into the ambulance, taking Sissi away. Odd pulled out his phone ans Inuyasha covered his ears at the loud sirens that the ambulance produced.
"Jeremie... bad news!", Odd said, "Sissi is going to the hospital!"
"Oh no! We have to bring her back here!", Jeremie said.
"No sweat! I have an idea.", Odd said as hung up and looked at Yumi.
"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?", Yumi asked.
"Yeah, good thinking!", Odd said as a mischievous smile crawled onto his face.
Inuyasha could recognize that kind of smile anywhere. He had seen it on Shippo. Whatever was going through Odd's head, he had the feeling that it was going to be naughty.
In the Forest Sector...
"Ulrich, Aelita, everything okay with you guys?", Jeremie asked.
Ulrich stopped the Overbike. Both he and Aelita wore the same stunned faces. A tower surrounded by a white halo stood before them.
"To tell you the truth, I have no idea! Has the Superscan picked up an activated tower?", Ulrich asked.
"No, still nothing. Why?", Jeremie asked.
"Well hang on, I'll send you a visual.", Aelita said and sent the visual to Jeremie.
"What the heck is this white tower supposed to mean?", Jeremie asked.
"I was about to ask you the same thing!", Ulrich said, "Do you think this tower has something to do with Sissi? Or with the being who's trying to contact us?"
"I'd like to get a closer look.", Aelita said.
Ulrich started up the Overbike and begun to ride with Aelita.
"Behind you!", Jeremie said.
Two Megatanks came barreling out of the forest. Ulrich looked back with a frown and started accelerating on the Overbike. In turn, the Megatanks started to accelerate too. Aelita turns around and looks at the progression of the Megatanks.
"Faster!", Aelita said.
"I have it floored!", Ulrich said.
"Go left!", Aelita said.
"Whoa, are you sure? There's nothing to the left!", Ulrich said.
Aelita begins to use her creativity. She created a new platform to the left. Ulrich went down the new path just for them to realize, the Megatanks weren't even chasing them. Instead, the Megatanks were heading to the tower with the white halo.
"Well done Aelita. But it's weird that the Megatank didn't try to attack you.", Jeremie said.
The Megatanks opened up, and began to fire their circular lasers at the tower, causing the tower to waver and the white halo to flicker.
"It wasn't us they were after... They were after the tower!", Aelita said.
"They are going to destroy it!", Ulrich said and turned to Aelita, "Feel like a little game of bowling?"
Aelita gave Ulrich a highly confused look.
"A what?", Aelita asked.
"Forget about it, it's a bad joke!", Jeremie said, feeling like face palming himself at the awful joke.
"Sometimes I really crack myself up!", Ulrich said just confusing Aelita even more.
Ulrich drew his sword and sped at the Megatanks, which once more fired at the white tower.
At the hospital in Sissi's room...
Sissi continuously stared blankly as she lied in bed. Mr. Delmas sat by her side, with worry. The EEG monitor was normal. On the other side stood a middle aged Asian woman with thick glasses and a name tag that read 'Dr. Chantal'.
"Will she be okay?", Mr. Delmas asked.
"I do not know. We'll keep her under a few hours of observation and then we'll see.", Dr. Chantal said.
"Okay, let me know at any slightest change!", Mr. Delmas said.
"Understood.", Dr. Chantal said.
Mr. Delmas left the room and went to the drink dispensers. Behind him, Inuyasha, Odd, and Yumi walked quietly past him. He didn't notice them. Yumi went to the receptionist and returned to Odd and Inuyasha a minute later.
"What did the girl in the reception say?", Odd asked.
"Room 237.", Yumi said and the trip began walking once more.
By the time they made it to the door to Sissi's room, Yumi's phone went off. It was Jeremie.
"I just spotted an activated tower! XANA's on the offensive!", Jeremie said.
"Okay.", Yumi said and hung up.
At that moment, they heard Sissi screaming on the other side. Inuyasha punched down the door, sending it to the floor with a massive dent in it. The three of them rushed in to see Dr. Chantal strangling Sissi.
"STOP!", Yumi shouted.
Dr. Chantal turned her head towards them. They saw the Eye of XANA in her eyes. XANA-Dr. Chantal jumped into the air to kick Yumi, but Inuyasha jumped in and punched XANA-Dr. Chantal in the gut, sending her across the room.
"So you like picking on little kids huh? That's low!", Inuyasha said.
XANA-Dr. Chantal got up and lunged for Yumi, this time successfully getting to her. XANA-Dr. Chantal began to strangle Yumi. Before Inuyasha could strike XANA-Dr. Chantal again, XANA-Dr. Chantal flickered a bit, before falling. Odd was behind her with a mischievous grin as he held to sparkling paddles (defibrillators).
"Poor thing, she had hypertension!", Odd joked.
"Not anymore. Quick!", Yumi said.
Inuyasha went to the window and opened it.
"What are you two waiting for? Come on! She will wake up any minute!", Inuyasha snapped.
"Out the window?! Are you crazy?!", Yumi asked.
"Stop your fussing and get on my back!", Inuyasha snapped.
Odd and Yumi, with Sissi in tow, got on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha held Sissi bridal style and jumped out the window. At that moment, Dr. Chantal, who was still possessed, woke up.
Yumi pulled out her cell phone and called Jeremie.
"We've got Sissi, Jeremie!", Yumi said.
"Great! Get her to the factory and hurry up!", Jeremie said.
"It won't be that easy, there's a doctor possessed by XANA who doesn't seem to like the idea!", Yumi said.
"Ouch...", Jeremie said.
In the lab...
Jeremie hung up and fixed the headset that was in his left ear.
In the Forest Sector...
"Ulrich? I have some bad news...", Jeremie said.
"In just a minute!", Ulrich said as he leaned in the back seat of the Overbike with his katana ready.
Aelita was of course driving now. She sped towards the two Megatanks. The Megatanks fired once more, creating a narrow hallway- like path, creating an intersection. Aelita kept the Overbike from hitting the nasty lasers by accelerating just a tad to avoid the intersection the was now behind them.
The Megatanks began to adjust themselves, thus allowing Aelita to drive in between them. Aelita hit the breaks just before coming into contact with the tower. At the same time, Ulrich jumped off the Overbike, landing on top of a random Megatank, and jammed his katana into the Megatank's Eye of XANA. The Megatank exploded.
"Now what was that you were saying?", Ulrich asked.
"XANA has activated a tower in the Ice Sector.", Jeremie said.
"Then what do we do? Protect this tower or go deactivate the other?", Ulrich asked.
A Megatank decided to pull a nasty trick and fired at Ulrich when he wasn't paying attention. Aelita was, and rode the Overbike towards Ulrich and plucked him out of the laser's way.
"Jeremie? What do we do?", Ulrich asked.
"Protect the white tower.", Jeremie said.
Ulrich jumps off the Overbike as Aelita skids it to a stop. The Megatank once more tried to aim at the two Lyoko Warriors.
"I can go deactivate the tower!", Aelita said.
"All alone?! No way, it's too dangerous!", Jeremie said.
The Megatank charged up it's laser and fired. The Laser almost hit Ulrich and Aelita but went in between the two.
"I will get rid of the Megatank and then we can go deactivate the tower!", Ulrich said.
Behind Ulrich, two new Megatanks reared their ugly balls in. Ulrich scowled at the sight and the fact XANA was not going to let that plan work. He got into position with his katana in both hands.
"Aelita, stay next to me!", Ulrich said.
Instead of listening, Aelita drove away on the Overbike.
"AELITA! GET BACK HERE!", Ulrich shouted.
"DON'T DO THAT AELITA!", Jeremie yelled.
Inuyasha landed in front of the factory from a very long jump. Odd was shaken up from the wild ride. No one knew how the XANA possessed Dr. Chantal even managed to keep up with Inuyasha's speed with an ambulance.
"Okay, I don't understand how Kagome is still even ALIVE!", Odd said as he started feeling like he was going to throw up as he got off.
Yumi also got off Inuyasha's back.
Sissi was still in catatonic-like state in Inuyasha's arms. One thing that kept floating in his mind was, what would Kagome say if she were to learn about what he was doing. He was pretty sure he would get a sit instead of a 'I didn't know that you could be such a hero'. Yup, the world hated him, so he hated the world right back.
Inuyasha jumped into the factory as Odd and Yumi used the ropes to swing inside.
By that time, XANA-Dr. Chantal was driving on the bridge wildly. Inuyasha handed Sissi to them.
"You two go! I will get rid this crazy wench!", Inuyasha said.
"Just don't kill her, she is only possessed and the Return to the Past doesn't bring people back to life!", Yumi said.
Both Yumi and Odd carried Sissi into the lift.
Inuyasha growled in frustration. He was going to have to stall XANA-Dr. Chantal instead of out right blitzing her. He jumped outside of the factory and glared at XANA-Dr. Chantal. XANA-Dr. Chantal wore a crazy face and floored the ambulance even more, ready to run Inuyasha over. Inuyasha held out his hand.
Just as the ambulance was about to strike Inuyasha, Inuyasha grabbed the bumper and mangled it up in his hand while in the process, stopping the ambulance.
"FEH! You can't kill a demon with THAT!", Inuyasha said and began to bench press the hood of the ambulance, effectively destroying the engine.
XANA-Dr. Chantal groaned in annoyance and leaped out of the ambulance, phasing through the roof. She made a ball of electricity and slung it at Inuyasha. Inuyasha dodged the ball of electricity. Inuyasha delivered a massive left hook to XANA-Dr. Chantal's cheek.
XANA-Dr. Chantal let out a loud groan of anger. She sent a fury of lightning bolts from her hand and hit Inuyasha. Inuyasha felt the pain of the electricity. He mustered up as much movement he could do while in pain.
"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!", Inuyasha yelled.
The attack slammed into XANA-Dr. Chantal, forcing her to stop electrocuting Inuyasha. Inuyasha got on to his feet and punched XANA-Dr. Chantal into the river, going under.
XANA-Dr. Chantal swam to the surface and jumped out, letting loose a warped battle cry. She shot an over charged orb of electricity at Inuyasha, sending him back. Inuyasha skidded on the ground as he clutched himself in pain. Being stubborn as ever, got back up despite the nasty pain and made a flesh wound on his palms.
"DIE!", XANA-Dr. Chantal shouted.
"I refuse to die today. In fact I don't plan on doing it for a very very long time.", Inuyasha said, "BLADES OF BLOOD!"
The bloody blades hammered into XANA-Dr. Chantal. XANA-Dr. Chantal managed to dodge a few of the blades. She then dashed at lightning speed, past Inuyasha, infuriating him.
"DANG IT WENCH! DON'T YOU DARE RUN FROM ME! I'M NOT FINISHED YET!", Inuyasha shouted in anger.
That was when Inuyasha noticed, XANA-Dr. Chantal was aiming for the factory. He dashed towards the factory and pounced onto XANA-Dr. Chantal before she could even get past the ropes. He smirked.
"HA! No where to run now! I am gonna beat ya to pulp now!", Inuyasha said and cracked his knuckles.
"INUYASHA!"
Inuyasha paled as his ears fell flat. He was in deep crap now because that voice sounded like death itself.
In the Forest Sector...
Ulrich dodged another laser attack made by one of the Megatanks. He lunged for one of the open Megatanks. The targeted Megatank shut itself closed to protect itself from Ulrich's katana. However, when the impact of the katana came, it could not protect itself from the momentum generated. The Megatank ended up falling into the Digital Sea. A pillar of light shot up from where the Megatank landed in the sea.
"Cool!", Ulrich said, "TRIPLICATE!"
Two other Ulrichs formed. All three rushed at the remaining Megatanks. One Megatank fired and hit one of the clones.
"Ulrich?", Jeremie asked.
"Don't worry, I got this!.", Ulrich said as he jumped as the Megatank sent the clone flying as it disappeared.
Ulrich managed to get his katana implanted into the Megatank, but the bad news was, the Megatank closed, effectively stopping AND jamming the katana in place.
"Now that has got to hurt.", Ulrich said as he made a face.
The Megatank exploded on Ulrich, sending him and his katana flying. Ulrich dodged his katana thankfully.
In the lab...
Odd and Yumi carried Sissi into the lab and sat her down gently. Jeremie turned around.
"You guys made it! Where's Inuyasha?", Jeremie said.
"He's dealing with Doctor Doom.", Odd said.
Yumi went back into the elevator.
"What are you doing, Yumi?", Odd asked.
"I am going to make sure Inuyasha didn't bite off more than he can chew. Fighting anyone who is possessed by XANA without thinking and for the heck of it, is like asking for a death sentence.", Yumi said and closed the elevator.
Sissi then got up onto her feet and began to walk over to where Jeremie was and pushed him out of the seat. She sat down in the old dentist like chair.
"Hey!", Jeremie said.
"What do you think your doing!?", Odd shouted as he went up to Sissi, ready to fight.
Jeremie raised a hand, making Odd stop trying to fight Sissi.
"She's typing, but I will let her continue.", Jeremie said.
Odd looked at Sissi as Sissi typed exponentially fast. She was typing the same coded message with a bit more added onto it this time, leaving both Odd and Jeremie stunned. Jeremie faced one of the monitors and saw that Aelita was advancing through the Ice Sector. Some red dots popped up, showing that monsters were heading straight for her.
"AELITA! WATCH OUT!", Jeremie shouted, "Odd! Get into the scanner room!"
In the Ice Sector...
Aelita sped through the Ice Sector on the Overbike. That was when the Overbike got hit and dematerialized right underneath her.
"AAAAAH!", Aelita yelped in surprise as she fell onto the ground and slid across the icy path briefly as possible on an icy surface.
Outside the factory...
Kagome was NOT very pleased to see Inuyasha on top of a middle aged woman. She was so angry that anyone could swear they saw flames around her.
"SIT BOY!", Kagome screamed in anger.
Inuyasha fell onto of XANA-Dr. Chantal. The force of the beads surprised XANA-Dr. Chantal greatly. She phased into the ground.
"I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL DAY AND THIS IS WHERE I FIND YOU! YOU ARE SO STUPID! SIT!", Kagome shouted, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU HAD A THING FOR OLD LADIES! IT'S BAD ENOUGH YOU HAD A THING FOR DEAD GIRLS!"
Inuyasha face planted into the ground again.
"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!", Inuyasha shouted.
"IF IT ISN'T THEN WHY WERE YOU ON TOP OF THAT WOMAN?!", Kagome shouted as a tear poured out of each eye.
"BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO ATTACK A BUNCH OF KIDS, STUPID!", Inuyasha shouted.
"HOW DO I KNOW YOU ARE NOT LYING TO ME?!", Kagome shouted.
At that moment, Yumi came out of the factory and saw the commotion.
"Did I miss an episode or something?", Yumi asked.
"Huh?", Kagome asked, "What are you doing here? It's dangerous to be playing around here!"
"I was going to ask a similar thing.", Yumi said, "Did you bring her here, Inuyasha?"
"No! I swear that she manged to find me here!", Inuyasha said.
"What's going on?!", Kagome asked.
"You would know if you didn't sit me when I was trying to protect her and her friends!", Inuyasha said.
"How was I suppose to know that! It looked like you were having an affair with that woman!", Kagome shouted.
"Then explain why we weren't naked and the fact I had a fist ready to strike her.", Inuyasha said.
Kagome had no words to say. He had a point but once more, she found something to be mad about.
"SIT BOY!", Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha fell to the ground. Yumi could only back away a bit.
"I am still here you guys!", Yumi said.
At that moment, XANA-Dr. Chantal leaped out of the ground and began to strangle Yumi by the throat. Kagome looked around quickly for something she could use to pry XANA-Dr. Chantal away from Yumi.
"YUMI!", Inuyasha shouted.
"GET BACK KAGOME!", Inuyasha shouted, "SORRY YUMI BUT I HAVE TO DO THIS!"
Inuyasha placed his hand on his sword and began to draw it.
"DON'T! YOU WILL HURT YUMI!", Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha growled softly in frustration as he but his sword back. He dashed at XANA-Dr. Chantal and managed to pry her hands off Yumi's throat. Yumi fell limp on the ground. Kagome rushed up to Yumi a carried her into the factory among the platform above the lift.
XANA-Dr. Chantal got ticked off with Inuyasha's constant interruptions and began to strangle Inuyasha at the throat and electrified him.
"Dang it... you!", Inuyasha said as he went limp from lack of blood flow and the voltage.
XANA-Dr. Chantal smirked like a mad man and continued to strangle and electrify Inuyasha. Kagome stepped outside the factory without Yumi. Her eyes widened at what she saw.
"INUYASHA!", Kagome screamed in agony with tears flowing from her eyes.
XANA-Dr. Chantal finally dropped Inuyasha and slowly came towards Kagome. Weapon-less and defense-less, Kagome was vulnerable.
"WAKE UP INUYASHA! PLEASE!", Kagome screamed.
In the Ice Sector...
Aelita ran from the three Krabs that came marching her way. One of the Krabs fired at her leg, causing her to trip. She watched in horror as the Krabs and their 'little' friend approached her.
In the Forest Sector...
A Megatank fired at the white tower once more. Ulrich jumped in front of the laser, getting devirtualized. The laser continued forward and slammed into the tower. The white halo around the tower vanished.
In the lab...
Sissi stopped typing and falls out of the chair and went unconscious. Jeremie rushed to her unconscious form.
"SISSI!", Jeremie yelled.
Ulrich came out of the hatch in the floor.
"Where's Yumi?", Ulrich asked.
"She is making sure Inuyasha didn't go overboard and do something reckless.", Jeremie said.
Ulrich headed to the elevator and closed the door.
Outside the factory...
Inuyasha's eyes snapped open. He was to the point that the phrase 'ticked off' could no longer describe how angry he was. He saw XANA-Dr. Chantal was strangle Kagome, to the latter was now unconscious.
"KAGOME!", Inuyasha shouted and rushed for Kagome, knocking her out of XANA-Dr. Chantal's grip.
He embraced Kagome protectively. He knew that Kagome was a little bit safer now.
"Kagome...", Inuyasha whispered softly.
On the platform inside the factory...
"YUMI!", Ulrich shouted when he saw Yumi lying up against a wall, unconscious but still breathing.
Ulrich held Yumi close.
"Oh Yumi...", Ulrich said.
Yumi began to open her eyes a bit.
"Ulrich...", Yumi said weakly.
"Huh?", Ulrich asked and began to smile, "Yumi! Your okay!"
"Yes... Now can you let me go...? You're crushing me...", Yumi said.
"Oops...", Ulrich said and let Yumi go, "Sorry..."
Ulrich rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Let's get you to the lab. It should be safe there.", Ulrich said.
In the Ice Sector...
Aelita backed away. She was terrified. the Scyphozoa was right in front of her and was surrounded by three Krabs. One Krab fired at her foot, forcing her to stop. The Scyphozoa began to wrap it's tentacles around Aelita just to get an arrow head to the clear dome where it's head should be. Odd was flying in recklessly on his Overboard. He shot more darts at the Scyphozoa, shooing it away.
"BEAT IT YOU OVER GROWN JELLYFISH!", Odd shouted, "JEREMIE'S ALREADY GOT DIBS ON HER! IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL BE SUSHI!"
Odd knew that in the lab, Jeremie was blushing madly and snickering at that comment.
"ODD!", Aelita shouted.
"Of course! Who else would it be?", Odd said.
Aelita began to run towards the activated tower. Odd got shoot by two lasers from the Krabs.
"WHOA!", Odd yelped.
"Odd, watch it! You just lost eighty life points! One more hit and it's game over!", Jeremie warned.
"Relax, it's all part of the plan!", Odd chimed.
In the lab...
Ulrich managed to help Yumi off the elevator and into the lab. Jeremie rushed to them.
"What happened to you, Yumi?", Jeremie asked.
"The doctor that XANA possess strangled me by the neck.", Yumi said.
"All that matters is that you are okay, Yumi.", Ulrich said.
"How's Odd doing?", Yumi asked.
"He has only twenty life points left.", Jeremie said, "He said it was all part of a plan of his."
"Knowing Odd, he's going to do something really reckless but practical. I am not sure how that is even possible.", Ulrich said.
"Twenty life points is more than enough for Odd if he has a plan.", Yumi said.
In the Ice Sector...
Odd once more dodged the lasers on his Overboard. He swooped in next to Aelita.
"Need a ride, princess?", Odd asked.
Aelita jumped onto the Overboard and held on to Odd for safety. By safety, she was looking for safety from Odd's reckless daredevil tricks on the Overboard.
Odd zigzagged the Overboard through the Ice Sector, dodging the lasers as he took Aelita to the activated tower. He stops it seconds from hitting the tower. Aelita jumped off the Overboard and entered the tower.
Outside the factory...
"STAY AWAY FROM KAGOME!", Inuyasha snarled as he bared his fangs and claws dangerously, "IF YOU HURT HER ONE MORE TIME I SWEAR I WILL SEND YA TO HECK!"
XANA-Dr. Chantal let out a battle cry and dashed towards the badly battered Inuyasha and Kagome.
"DIE!", XANA-Dr. Chantal shouted.
On Lyoko...
Aelita levitated to the the top platform. She landed gracefully and placed her hand on the interface.
AELITA
CODE
LYOKO
The interfaces that covered the inner walls of the tower fell downwards as they got replaced by new ones.
"Tower deactivated.", Aelita said.
Outside the factory...
XANA-Dr. Chantal lost the Eye of XANA from her eyes and fell limp on the ground. Inuyasha shoved his arms up the opposite sleeves of his robe.
"Feh!", Inuyasha said and went back to caring for the unconscious Kagome.
In the lab...
Jeremie sighed in relief. Yumi laid down, but still awake, nearby with Ulrich making sure she stayed alright.
"Good job Aelita.", Jeremie said.
The next day...
Jeremie came by Odd and Ulrich's dorm room with Inuyasha behind him. Inuyasha was glad that Kagome didn't question him any further than she did or the secret about Lyoko would get discovered. Knowing Kagome, she tended to talk about ANYTHING.
Sissi barged out of Odd and Ulrich's room with a furious look.
"Huh? Everything okay, Sissi?", Jeremie asked.
"How do you expect everything to be okay when I'm surrounded by big, fat losers?!", Sissi asked and stormed off.
Inuyasha growled in offence but Jeremie motioned for him to stop.
"Did we miss something?", Jeremie asked just for Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi to giggle, "Come on! Tell us!"
"Odd just offered Sissi a role in his next film!", Ulrich said.
"It's the story of a girl, driven by a mysterious being, who tries to make contact with humans! All of which takes place in a virtual universe full of danger!", Odd said.
"What did she say?", Inuyasha asked.
"That no one would ever believe such a ridiculous story!", Aelita said.
"You don't say.", Jeremie said snickering.
Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh along with them. Sissi was so clueless! More so than any other human or demon he has ever seen.
"So where were you two?", Yumi asked.
"I was making sure I was off the hook with Kagome. We should be glad she didn't question me like she normally does.", Inuyasha said as he cringed at all of the interrogations Kagome had given him, which all ended with one or more sits.
"Finished.", Jeremy said proud as ever as he held up a disc in a case, "The computer deciphered all of the lines of code that Sissi spoke while she was spellbound."
"So, what's it say? Let's hear it!", Odd said excitedly.
"Tons of interesting stuff! And a whole lot of elements that are going to help me find the antivirus for Aelita!", Jeremie said.
"And do you know who this mysterious entity who wants to get into contact with us is?", Ulrich asked.
"Well take a look." Jeremie said.
In Jeremie and Inuyasha's...
"I'm warning you: this is com-plete-ly crazy!", Jeremie said.
Jeremie inserted the CD and opened up the audio program. Inuyasha braced himself for any possible scratchy noises like the last time.
"BREAK! BREAK! BREAK DANCE! HERE WE GO!"
It was Odd's music video. Jeremie was surprised and same went for the others. Aelita blinked a few times. Inuyasha winced as his ears fell flat. Ulrich face palmed. Yumi shook her head in disdain.
"HUH?!", Jeremie asked, "NOT THIS AGAIN! ODD!"
Jeremie turned off the music video and ejected the CD.
"I didn't put it there!", Odd said, "Don't look at me!"
"What the seven hecks was THAT?!", Inuyasha asked.
"Odd's dumb music video.", Jeremie said, "I had a run in with it when we materialized Aelita for the first time."
"Hey! It's not dumb! It's one of my best!", Odd said.
'I can only imagine how horrible the others were...', Inuyasha thought.
Jeremie didn't even bother to respond to that cause the answer was pretty obvious. Jeremie picked up the correct CD and put it into the computer.
"I can help you…I want to enter into contact with you now…I am Franz Hopper…"
"I don't believe this!", Odd said.
"I am Franz Hopper?", Aelita asked.
