Binas: Welcome back! Sorry it took so long, but what matters is I am back!
I guess I did a bit of a "Pick on Inuyasha" chapter (That was inspired by the fan terms like "Pick on Yumi/Ulrich/Odd/Aelita/Jeremie week" used by the fans), didn't I? So yeah, I had to give Inuyasha a bit of a hinderance to keep him for being over powered on Lyoko, and deletion via Full Demon mode was all I could think of. Besides, it does have some after effects after he is back to normal in series. I also wanted a bit of tragic effect to it. Blame all of the tragic stuff we are reading in English II like Antigone. Not that I hate the play, I just get influenced by certain modes in the air from various things like a tragic story.
And yes, I got a whole week off thanks to Winter Storm Titan. I wonder what the schools will do now... I hope it's not too much for me like Crunch Time and/or removing Spring Break for the year.
As for Koga making a reappearance in the future, maybe. Shippo, also on the maybe list since he is a 'seven year old' kid in the anime.
As for one of the lines, I decided to use the French version of it because it sounded even more like Odd... XD But still, both the English and French lines were something Odd would say, but the French one took the cake because it made me laugh the most. Though I did add to it... *Sheepish smile*
.
Last time...
"Ready?", Ulrich whispered.
"Ready.", Yumi whispered.
"Got the film rolling, Odd?", Ulrich whispered.
"Yup! And I made sure it had really great quality too!", Odd said from his hiding spot, which was behind a plant.
"Here comes Sissi!", Yumi said.
As soon as Sissi spotted Ulrich, she screamed in horror. Ulrich was KISSING Yumi on the lips.
"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!", Sissi screamed as she ran away.
Once Sissi left, Ulrich and Yumi stopped kissing and Odd stepped out for behind the plant.
"And done! Now I see why you needed me to film here tonight!", Odd said laughing as he stopped the recording.
That's when Ulrich and Yumi joined in the laughter.
.
In Odd and Ulrich's room...
*BEEP!* *BEEP!* *BEEP!*
"ODD! Turn off that stupid alarm clock!", Ulrich shouted from under the pillow, trying to sleep in.
Ulrich got up to see that Odd was nowhere in sight.
In the administrator's building...
"Here are the photocopies you wanted, Odd. You needed thirty two, right?", Ms. Weber said.
"That's right. Thank you!", Odd said as he took the photocopies and left.
In Jeremie and Inuyasha's room...
Inuyasha was snoring away on the floor as always. He woke up to hearing the door open.
"Huh?", Inuyasha asked and quickly wiped away a snot bubble.
Inuyasha looked up to see Ulrich in the room.
"Well that's one less to wake up.", Ulrich said.
"Whatever...", Inuyasha said.
Ulrich walked over to Jeremie, who was sleeping on his computer desk.
"Wake up Enstein.", Ulrich said giving Jeremie a light nudge.
Jeremie didn't wake up.
"Jeremie! Odd and Aelita are going out with each other!", Ulrich said with a smile.
"WHAT!?", Jeremie yelled as he shot up in shock.
Jeremie's glasses almost went flying off his face. Inuyasha burst out laughing at the stupefied look on Jeremie's face. Jeremie was now fully awake thanks to that one sentence.
"Oh, it's you, Ulrich... Awful joke! Anyway, what's the time?", Jeremie said.
"What's the story, you've given up sleeping in a bed or what?", Ulrich asked with a slight chuckle.
"He was speeding all night doing the usual.", Inuyasha said.
Ulrich raised an eyebrow a bit. What Inuyasha said was a bit unclear.
"By usual, did Jeremie forget that Aelita has her memories back?", Ulrich asked.
Jeremie face palmed.
"No! I didn't forget that! I was trying to find a way to send you into the internet so you can track Xana!", Jeremie said.
"Oh. Did you find anything?", Ulrich said.
"No...", Jeremie said as he got up and left the room.
A few moments later in the boy's bathroom...
Jeremie splashed water in his face. He was obviously still tired. He had dark insomnia rings around his eyes. He splashed more water in his face as the door opened.
"Look at yourself. They're not voting for zombie of the year, but for their student rep!", Ulrich said trying to crack a joke.
"It's not about how you look, it's all about what you have to say!", Jeremie said.
"At least you're optimistic, can't hurt, I guess... Anyway, you've got one thing going for you: you're up against the lamest candidate in the galaxy.", Ulrich said, "Herve."
Later in Mr. Fumet's classroom...
"Take a copy of my platform!", Odd said as he handed out the photocopies.
Aelita and Kagome were helping out by passing the photocopies out as well. Jeremie took one from Kagome and looked at it.
"Platform? What for?", Jeremie asked.
"My platform! You're looking at the next Student Rep!", Odd said.
"You're running, Odd?! W-Why didn't you say anything?!", Jeremie asked in surprise.
"Because surprise is the secret weapon of my election campaign!", Odd said.
"And the second weapon is poetry! 'If you all want to have your say, why not give the nod, to good old Odd!' ", Aelita said.
"I like lines that rhyme with Odd.". Odd said making Kagome giggle a bit.
"Kagome! What are you doing?", Inuyasha said coming up.
"Helping Odd run for Student Rep.", Kagome said.
"Student Rep?", Inuyasha asked.
"Basically it's a position given to one of the students by voting. That one student represents all of the students and can help the teachers in making final decisions.", Kagome said.
"Shouldn't someone more serious be running?", Inuyasha asked.
"Hey I can be serious!", Odd said.
On the bus with Yumi...
"I'm warning you. If anyone tries to pull anything, you can join that smart alek William Dunbar in detention!", Jim said.
Yumi yawned in boredom.
"Thank you, Jim, I think you made yourself clear.", Ms. Hertz said.
"Roger, Suzanne! Uh... I'm sorry, I mean, Ms Hertz...", Jim said making Ms. Hertz giggle a bit.
"It's fine.", Ms. Herts said and turned her attention to the class on the bus, "Let's not forget what we're looking for. The purpose of our field trip today is to witness the early effects of pollution of our ecosystem, and especially in the forests. Effects that someday mean the end of our forests and all animal and plant life, of course."
"Uh... Are you saying that there won't be any more cute bunny rabbits, or little birds, or trees, or mushrooms, they'll all disappear?... Wow, I love that perfume!", Jim said making the students laugh a bit.
'Note to self: Add this field trip to the list of things I'd rather not talk about...', Jim thought as he heard the laughter and blushed a bit.
In Mr. Fumet's classroom...
"And so I ask you: Why should good students represent the bad? Why not let a near-dropout, like me, speak for all the other near-dropouts?", Odd asked effectively grasping the attention of majority of the C-F average students.
In the background, Jeremie was a bit nervous. Herve turned his attention to Jeremie.
"You're not smiling, Jeremie, how come?", Herve asked.
"Because I don't want to look as dorky as you, Herve, ok?", Jeremie said.
"What do Belpois and Pichon know about our problems, huh? They always get A's and B's, right? They don't know the fear of getting left back! They're not capable of defending our cause!", Odd said, speaking like a true public speaker.
'I never heard anyone speak like this before, other than Kagome.', Inuyasha thought.
"Bravo, good point, Odd! Ok near-dropouts, it's time for all of us to take a stand!", Ulrich said, supporting Odd.
'What do I do? I know I used to be a B average until my fifteenth birthday. I have only managed to become a C average so far, but I am still so far behind!', Kagome thought.
Kagome took a stand but remained silent. Same with Inuyasha. Soon more people took up a stand and began to clap and cheer in support for Odd.
"Settle down class!", Mr. Fumet said once the class hit the threshold of allowed volume.
On the bus...
The dashboard and steering wheel shorted out with eerie electricity. The driver was startled by this and jumped back a bit in his seat.
"What happened?", Was the murmur among the students.
Yumi remained silent and waited for any hints if the sudden event was caused by XANA or not.
"Don't be scared! You gotta put 'er down when you're in the jungle!", Jim said.
Ms. Hertz gave an intrigued look at Jim.
"Sorry! I used to be a Pilot for the Royal Air Force.", Jim said.
"You were a pilot?", Ms. Hertz asked.
"I'd rather not talk about it.", Jim said.
The driver's eyes went wide open as far as they would go. He began to hyperventilate.
"Wh... What is THAT?!", The driver shouted as a very familiar large plume of smoke rised from the dashboard.
"What's the matter? Are we already th...", Yumi asked getting up and gasped at the sight.
Everyone on the bus was possessed by XANA. XANA-Jim's hands sparked with electricity. Yumi backed away slowly and managed to doge a bolt of electricity. XANA-Jim began to recharge his hand with more electricity, unknowingly creating an opening for Yumi to escape. Yumi took that opening and jumped out the shattered window. She made a mad dash away from the bus.
In Mr. Fumet's classroom...
"In conclusion, I promise to put lots of pretty plants in each and every one of your classrooms.", Herve said with a large smile, "Won't that be nice, huh?"
The class was so quiet you could hear a pin drop from the next room. Everyone was giving looks at Herve that said 'what the heck' all over them. Sissi stood up.
"Yeah! Bravo Herve!", Sissi 'cheered' then whispered to Nicolas, "Clap, you stupid clot, come on! I'm gonna vote for Herve, aren't you?"
"What the heck?! That was the most stupid speech that I have ever heard!", Inuyasha snapped.
"INUYASHA! BE NICE!", Kagome snapped, making Inuyasha cower a bit.
"Your turn Einstein!", Odd said and shoved Jeremie to the front of the room.
Jeremie looked at Odd.
"This is not a game, Odd! Being student rep is a very serious responsibility!", Jeremie said.
"And you think I can't handle them?", Odd asked.
"I never said that!", Jeremie said.
"No, but that's what you're thinking!", Odd countered and Jeremie's cell phone began to ring, "Well answer it, it's probably some think tank that wants your precious advice!"
Jeremie answered his cell phone. It was Yumi.
"Hello?", Jeremie asked.
"Jeremie, I'm in real big trouble! My whole bus has been XANAfied!", Yumi said as she sounded like she was running a marathon.
"Are you sure?", Jeremie asked.
"If you don't mind, Belpois. We're all waiting for you!", Mr. Fumet said.
"I have to hang up Yumi. Don't worry.", Jeremie said then turned to Odd, Inuyasha, Ulrich, and Kagome, "XANA launched an attack and is after Yumi."
"XANA never takes a break, does it?", Kagome asked.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to interject something.
"If it has to deal with Naraku again then shut your mouth. We know!", Kagome said in annoyance.
Inuyasha immediately clamped his mouth shut.
"Jeremie, if you're still a candidate, then speak up! What's your platform?", Mr. FUmet asked as he became more impatient.
"You see, I left some of my notes in my room... I kinda have to go get them!", Jeremie lied, "I'll go... And get them!"
"I'll go with him! Keep an eye on the competition!", Odd said.
"And we'd better go too! To separate them if they start fighting!", Ulrich said.
"And I have to go put flea stuff on Inuyasha!", Kagome lied, "For some reason he gets fleas and no one knows why!"
'Now I sound like grandpa!', Kagome thought in embarrassment.
Inuyasha was highly annoyed by the comment and glared at Kagome.
"You don't have to treat me like a dog you know!", Inuyasha said in a low voice, "The only flea I ever had was Myoga and you know that!"
"I am not really going to you idiot!", Kagome whispered in annoyance.
That was when Kagome, Ulrich, Aelita, Odd, and Jeremie dashed out of the room. Inuyasha froze in the doorway when he heard Herve.
"Vote for me, everyone!", Herve interjected out of no where.
"Will you be quiet?!", Inuyasha snapped and continued out the doorway.
Inuyasha's bandana almost fell off for a second, but he managed to fix it.
'The cloth is starting to weaken... Hopefully Kagome can get another one so she doesn't sit me for not wearing it!', Inuyasha thought.
"I don't believe this...", Mr. Fumet muttered as he rested his head on his desk.
In detention...
William was doodling a random picture as he pouted. The teacher that was suppose to be keeping an eye on the rebellious teen was asleep. William looked out the window and saw Inuyasha, Kagome, Odd, Ulrich, and Jeremie outside. He got closer to the window so he could hear what they were talking about.
"Attack confirmed. XANA has activated a tower.", Jeremie said.
"I hate not knowing when something will attack us!", Inuyasha said remembering his human nights.
William's interest peaked. Ulrich pulled out his cell phone and began to call someone.
Outside the detention room...
"You better hurry! I can't hold out much longer!", Yumi said.
"Okay, I'll be right there!", Ulrich said and hung up.
"You go help Yumi, we'll take care of the tower.", Jeremie said.
"FEH! If it's the whole class that got themselves possessed, I might as well come. I still got a few bones to pick!", Inuyasha said gruffly.
"Just don't kill anyone!", Kagome exasperated.
"Relax! I know better than to kill a human!", Inuyasha said.
"You better!", Kagome said.
With Yumi in a forest...
Yumi ran for her life through the forest. She tripped on a very thick root and began tumbling down the hill. Her XANAfied class search for her high and low, yet no spotting of the Japanese girl.
Yumi was hiding behind a tree as they started to leave. She sighed in relief just to come face to face with XANA-Jim. She panicked a bit and dashed away from the tree and XANA-Jim. XANA-Jim raised his hand and shoot an arc of intense electricity. Yumi fell to the ground with a yelp.
She was now surrounded by the XANAfied teachers, driver, and classmates...
In the Scanner Room...
"The activated tower is in the Forest Sector.", Jeremie said.
Kagome, Aelita, and Odd stepped into the scanners.
"Ready.", Kagome said.
"Transfer Aelita. Transfer Odd. Transfer Kagome. Scanner Odd. Scanner Aelita. Scanner Kagome.", Jeremie said as he ran through the process, "VIRTUALIZATION!"
Jeremie hit the enter key, thus finishing the process and sending Kagome, Aelita, and Odd to Lyoko.
In the Forest Sector...
Kagome, Odd, and Aelita materialized in the Forest Sector. Odd and Aelita landed gracefully while Kagome landed a little less gracefully but with improvement from her first Virtualization.
"Looks like you still need a bit more work.", Odd said chuckling a bit, making Kagome roll her eyes.
"Here are your taxis.", Jeremie said as the Overboard and Overwing materialized, "The tower is due north and you should be able to see it."
"Enstein, you should get your glasses checked because I don't see it!", Odd said.
Without further ado, Kagome got on the Overwing while Odd and Aelita got on the Overboard. They began heading north.
"XANA is sending you some monsters. How original can you get?", Jeremie said.
"He hates it when we're bored! Ok, let's be polite! We'll say hello to them first!", Odd said.
Kagome shook her head. Of all the things you could do to tick off your enemies, Odd had to come up with that one.
"Hey Odd, take care of yourself! If anything happened to you, I wouldn't have any competition except for Herve!", Jeremie said.
That was when the Tarantulas popped up.
"Don't worry Einstein, I'll take care of them, and then I'll go after you!", Odd said and aimed his arm at one of the monsters, "LASER ARROW!"
Odd shot a Laser Arrow at one of the five Tarantulas. He managed to hit the Eye of XANA, blowing up one of the Tarantulas. The other three began to fire a volley of lasers from their front legs. Odd was forced to weave through the crossfire and nearly crashed into a tree. During the near Overboard crash, Aelita lost her balance and fell off the Overboard.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!", Aelita screamed as she fell.
"Uh oh!", Odd said, "Aelita!"
Odd turned around and rushed to where Aelita was falling to.
"Aelita watch out! More Tarantulas are on the way!", Jeremie warned.
At the same time, Kagome pulled out her bow and aimed at a Tarantula.
"Take this you four legged creeps! HIT THE MARK!", Kagome shouted and fired a Sacred Arrow at a Tarantula's Eye of XANA, blowing it up.
Kagome was then shot by multiple lasers and was devirtualized.
Aelita was more or less safe on the ground now, if it weren't for the fact that she was surrounded by three Tarantulas. All of the Tarantulas were leering at her as they took aim. Aelita formed a pink sphere in her hand as she dodged the lasers from the Tarantulas.
"ENERGY FIELD!", Aelita shouted and hit one of the Tarantulas.
By this time, Odd and his Overboard rammed into a Tarantula, destroying it. Aelita hopped on as the remaining Tarantulas roared in anger.
~CURSE YOU SCRAWNY BRAT!~, One of the Tarantulas screamed in its own language.
Odd interpreted the Tarantula's vocabulary as a bunch of animalistic sounds, so he had no idea that he was being called his least favorite nickname of all time. And it wasn't poo-for-brains or pea brain for your information.
"You just can't stay away from me, huh?", Odd asked.
"It looks like they can't either...", Aelita said as she pointed at the Tarantulas that were chasing them.
The Tarantulas got on their hind legs and fired at the overboard, sending Odd and Aelita crashing into the ground.
With Ulrich and Inuyasha...
Inuyasha sniffed the ground as Ulrich furrowed his eyebrows as he looked for any possible footprints or physical evidence of Yumi.
"Are you done yet? No wonder why Jim accuses of you being a dog!", Ulrich annoyed by the constant sniffing.
Inuyasha growled as he gave a glare at Ulrich then started forward, following the scent trail, positive that it was Yumi's and not something like a shoe like last time.
Ulrich followed Inuyasha, not knowing that William was following them.
"Come on! Answer me!", Ulrich said as he tried calling Yumi's cell phone.
'I hope Yumi's okay!', Ulrich thought.
Inuyasha perked up.
"Someone's following us!", Inuyasha snarled and readied himself to attack, "SHOW YOURSELF! I KNOW YOU ARE THERE! I AIN'T THAT STUPID, YA KNOW!"
William came out from his hiding spot. Inuyasha relaxed a bit, but kept his guard up. Ulrich got a bit angered by the fact William was following them.
"What are you doing here?! What are you following us for?!", Ulrich asked.
"I heard it all. Yumi's in trouble, I came to see if I could help-", William said.
"I don't know what you're talking about-", Ulrich said just to be cut off by Yumi's screaming.
"Now you know what I'm talking about?!", William asked, a bit annoyed by Ulrich's antics.
"Stop your yapping and get moving!", Inuyasha snapped, already ahead.
In the Forest Sector on Lyoko...
Aelita and Odd hid behind a tree as the Tarantulas fired at them.
"Here's the plan, I will keep those monsters busy while you head for the tower. Okay?", Odd said.
"Okay.", Aelita said.
"Go on my signal.", Odd said and jumped out and began firing like crazy, "LASER ARROW!"
The Tarantulas spotted him and began to fire at the purple wearing kitty boy. Odd jumped onto a fallen tree several meters away from where Aelita was hiding. Aelita poked her head out a bit to see for the right moment to dash for the tower.
"Well played Odd!", Jeremie said.
Odd gave the signal to Aelita. Aelita made a run for it as Odd made sure his 'audience' was still paying attention to him. However, the monsters were still too close to Aelita to let Jeremie have any comfort in the situation.
"Wait Aelita! They are still too close!", Jeremie said.
At those words, Aelita went back to hiding behind the tree.
In the forest...
Yumi was curled up in a ball as she screamed in pain from the numerous shockings that her XANAfied classmates and teachers gave her.
William, Inuyasha, and Ulrich saw this. Inuyasha growled in anger like an angry Akita, which he sorta is. He did not notice that his bandana was becoming lose again.
"See what I mean! Wait...", William said and did a double take, "Hey, that's Jim shooting lightning out of his fingers! Is this a nightmare or what?"
"William, do you wanna help Yumi or not? Now don't say anything and do what we tell you!", Ulrich said.
"No! You two do what I say!", Inuyasha said in an almost snarl as he gave a dangerous look at the XANAfied people, "You two get Yumi out of there while I handle them."
No one wanted to question Inuyasha while he was like this. William swore he felt his spine shiver as if old water was being poured on it at the behavior Inuyasha was showing.
At that moment, Ulrich cell phone rang.
"What is it Jeremie?", Ulrich asked.
"Aelita is almost to the tower. It should be shut down soon.", Jeremie said.
"Good. Inuyasha and I are about to do something risky with William.", Ulrich said.
"Are you two guys buddies now?", Jeremie asked.
"Nah, he's giving us a hand. I'll explain later.", Ulrich said and hung up.
Inuyasha jumped out of the bushes and bared his sharp claw-like fingernails at the XANAfied people.
"YOU GUYS ARE TICKING ME OFF! WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!? THAT MEANS YOU TOO, FATSO!", Inuyasha shouted, angering all of the XANAfide people at once, especially XANA-Jim.
At that moment, the XANAfide class charged at Inuyasha. This gave an opening for Ulrich and William to come out and run towards the injured Yumi. By the time the two reached her, they begun arguing.
"Let me carry Yumi!", Ulrich shouted as William began to pick up Yumi.
"How can you pick her up if you never admitted yourself to her?", William asked being a smart aleck.
"Oh like you you did, huh?", Ulrich snapped back.
"I haven't yet but your time is running out Ulrich...", William said.
"YOUR TIME HAS RAN OUT!", Ulrich snapped.
"Are so sure, huh?", William said in a defiant tone.
"YES I AM!", Ulrich snapped.
"Prove it.", William said and crossed his arms.
Ulrich was about to say something but realized something. They have been caught and were now surrounded.
'I gave them one task and they blew it! AND THEY CALL ME THE IDIOT!', Inuyasha thought and begun making his right palm bleed as he became really mad.
On Lyoko in the Forest Sector...
"Okay, Aelita. Now go!", Jeremie said.
Aelita then dashed from her hiding spot and ran for the tower. During her run, she heard Jeremie talking to Ulrich about William and trying something risky. At the end of that conversation, she came to a stop as fear etched her face in more ways than one.
"Jeremie! I have a big problem here!", Aelita said.
"THE SCYPHOZOA!?", Jeremie shouted.
The Scyphozoa loomed over Aelita with malicious intents. Aelita backed away slowly from the Scyphozoa.
"I don't understand! XANA has already gotten all the information he wanted from me!", Aelita said in fright.
"Don't take any chances, Aelita. Get away from it!", Jeremie said.
Aelita threw an Energy Field at the Scyphozoa just for the Scyphozoa to dodge it. That when Aelita ran for her virtual life with the Scyphozoa on her tail.
In the forest...
Ulrich once more answered his cell phone, but this time, hellos were not exchanged.
"Change of plans. The tower is not going to get deactivated right away.", Jeremie said.
"Great. We can always count on you.", Ulrich said sarcastically.
Ulrich held Yumi close to himself, making William give Ulrich a jealous look.
"How're you doing, zombies? Oh I know we are not welcome, but I love strolling in the woods with my pals!", Ulrich said with the very last part dripping with a bit of sarcasm.
"AFTER THEM!", XANA-Jim shouted.
"OH NO YOU DON'T! YOU ALL ARE GOING HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME FIRST!", Inuyasha snarled, "BLADES OF BLOOD!"
The bloody blades slammed into the XANAfide people, making them stagger a bit backwards from the momentum. William was standing there with a goldfish look on his face.
"WHA?! HOW!?", William asked in shock.
Inuyasha's bandana fell off, revealing Inuyasha's dog ears, shocking William even further.
"STOP GAWKING LIKE THAT AND GET OUT OF HERE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!", Inuyasha shouted as XANA-Jim tackled him followed by several kids.
Yumi began to wake up at that moment to be in Ulrich's arms.
"Ulrich...", Yumi rasped, "William?..."
William smiled at the fact Yumi was okay but was still jealous that Ulrich was holding her.
On Lyoko in the Forest Sector...
A dead end. Aelita was now trapped. The Scyphozoa loomed closer and closer to Aelita. It's tentacles began to creep closer to Aelita.
"JEREMIE!", Aelita screamed.
"Try using an Energy Field!", Jeremie said.
Before Aelita could create an Energy Field, the Scyphozoa grabbed Aelita and began its main task. And what a nasty task it was indeed. Instead of stealing her memory, it added to something to her memory.
"NO!", Jeremie shouted.
"Jeremie! What's wrong?", Odd asked.
"The Scyphozoa is attacking Aelita!", Jeremie said, "With Kagome still not used to the Devirtualization process, she is not able to come back in yet!"
"I'd love to help, but my new girlfriend doesn't seem to agree on us breaking up!", Odd said as he fought the remaining Tarantula while at the same time, trying to get away from it.
The Tarantula fired round after round of Lasers at Odd. Odd managed to dodge them all and fired several Laser Arrows at the Tarantula then made a run for it.
"I don't get it. It's like the Scyphozoa has implanted something in Aelita.", Jeremie said.
"I am almost there!", Odd said.
Odd had finally made it to where Aelita was but froze. The Scyphozoa sat Aelita down gently. Aelita lied there lifelessly as the Scyphozoa backed off.
"Aelita is alive but I don't understand!", Jeremie said.
Odd began to shake Aelita violently, trying to wake her up. He then did the most annoying thing he could do...
"AELITA! WAKE UP! IT'S ME ODD!", Odd screamed in her ear.
Aelita began to stir.
"It's not time to take a nap!", Odd said, relieved that Aelita did wake up.
What Odd was not expecting was to be propelled ten meters into the air by Aelita. If it weren't for the current situations, he would have sworn to never wake up a girl like that again.
Odd took a quick look into Aelita's eyes. The Eye of XANA was pronounced in both of her eyes where her green pupils should be.
"Jeremie. We've got a problem here... SOMETHING WRONG IS WITH AELITA!", Odd said.
"Aelita! It's me Jeremie!", Jeremie said with worry.
XANA-Aelita's only response was an Energy Field to Odd's stomach, knocking the poor guy over. A Tarantula walked up to XANA-Aelita and lowered itself. XANA-Aelita climbed on and began to ride away from the activated tower.
"Jeremie, what's going on?!", Odd asked.
"I don't know! But follow her!", Jeremie said and reprogrammed Odd's Overboard.
"What about the tower?!", Odd asked looking at the activated tower.
In the forest...
"Fifteen against two, huh? We've been through worse...", Ulrich said as he stood next to Inuyasha.
William was guarding Yumi as Ulrich and Inuyasha made their stand against the XANAfied class.
"Do your worst!", Inuyasha said as he cracked his knuckles.
'Don't want to hurt them. Sorry that I can't use you, Tessaiga.', Inuyasha thought.
That was when the brawling began.
Yumi picked up her cell phone and began to dial Jeremie's number.
"What's going on with the tower? Ulrich is in trouble and I am not sure if Inuyasha would be able to handle this!", Yumi said.
"There's only a slim chance of deactivating the Tower right away.", Jeremie said.
"How slim?", Yumi asked not liking the odds.
"To be honest, none at all!", Jeremie said.
Yumi hung up.
"Ready to help fight?", Yumi asked.
William nodded and gave an affirmative gesture.
XANA-Jim electrocuted Ulrich. Soon the other XANAfide people joined in.
"DON'T YOU DARE FORGET ABOUT ME! IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!", Inuyasha shouted.
That got their attention. Well not for long though...
"BONZAI!", William shouted as he and Yumi ran towards them, well in William's case, jumping out from a tree wielding a large stick.
"YOU ARE STILL HURT, YUMI! GET BACK!", Inuyasha shouted but got electrocuted by one of the XANAfied kids, "OUCH! WHY YOU!"
Inuyasha picked up the XANAfied kid and put the kid in a half nelson.
William used his martial arts knowledge and began to deliver and avoid strikes. He then used his large stick to smack XANA-Jim then XANA-Ms. Hertz. XANA-Ms. Hertz grabbed the stick and failed to electrocut William.
"Sorry but you taught us that wood doesn't conduct electricity!", William said like the smart aleck he was.
Out of anger, XANA-Ms. Hertz threw the smart aleck named William.
In the lab...
Kagome was feeling anxious. She had herself back in order completely now. She watched all that was happening on the monitors.
'Oh no! This isn't good! This is like all of the times I was possessed! I could have stopped it if I wasn't devirtualized!', Kagome thought remembering the time she was possessed and forced to kill Inuyasha back in the Feudal Era. The worst part, unlike XANA's possession after effects, she remembered the whole thing.
"Odd, can you hear me?! What's happening?!", Jeremie asked.
In the Forest Sector...
"I have a feeling that Aelita is heading for a Way Tower!", Odd shouted as he followed Aelita on his Overboard.
"What a mess!", Jeremie said.
The Tarantula and XANA-Aelita noticed Odd. It was too late, the Tarantula blasted at the Overboard, sending Odd into the ground. Odd returned the favor and destroyed the Tarantula with a Laser Arrow. XANA-Aelita then tumbled to the ground and right in front of the Way Tower too.
XANA-Aelita entered it. Odd entered the Wya Tower drag her out but got himself kicked out by XANA-Aelita.
"AW COME ON! YOU JUST COULD HAVE SLAPPED ME NOT KICK ME OUT!", Odd semi-joked.
XANA-Aelita began to levitate to the top platform. She walked up to the interface and a new code was place in.
AELITA
CODE
XANA
The tower began to beep at the code. The tower began to disintegrate and XANA-Aelita lost consciousness as the tower did. She fell to the ground. Odd approached her carefully and looked into her eyes. The Eye of XANA was gone from them. Aelita blinked a bit.
"What happened?", Aelita asked.
"I'll tell you later... Let's hurry!", Odd said and dragged Aelita away because now the GROUND was disintegrating away too.
"What's happening?!", Jeremie asked.
"The sector is disappearing! Devirtualize us!", Odd shouted.
Activated tower was now in the path of the advancing disintegration. At the same time, Odd and Aelita were devirtualized just before the disintegration hit the ground underneath them.
In the scanner room...
Odd and Aelita stepped out of the Scanners. Aelita still looked very puzzled.
"I don't know what happened...", Aelita said.
"Well for one thing, it was a pretty close call. Otherwise, I don't know what happened either! But I'm sure, Einstein can tell us.", Odd said.
Both of them headed for the elevator.
In the forest at the same moment of the Forest Sector's disintegration...
William laid on the ground unconscious as Ulrich woke up from the massive electrocution he got.
"Stay down Ulrich!"
It was Yumi. Yumi was behind him and she pointed outside of the bush that served as their hiding spot. Ulrich looked at William.
'Don't you dare dream about Yumi!', Ulrich thought.
Outside the bush, Inuyasha was fighting. Inuyasha threw one of the kids back and delivered a left hook to another. He slapped XANA-Ms. Hertz across the cheek. THat was when XANA-Jim loomed over him with his hands sparking with several volts of electricity. Inuyasha blocked the electrifying hand with his still sheathed Tessaiga.
"You put up a fight for a big guy, don't ya?", Inuyasha taunted as he struggled to keep the electricity away from himself and XANA-Jim struggled to electrocute Inuyasha.
At that moment, everyone possessed by XANA collapsed. Inuyasha frowned in disgust as Jim landed on top of Inuyasha. And that wasn't even the worst part.
'This is so wrong on so many levels!', Inuyasha thought as Jim's drool seeped into Inuyasha's mouth.
Inuyasha resisted the urge to hurt Jim beyond recognition but at the same time tried to get the cuddle teacher off him.
'If I could I WOULD KILL YOU FOR THIS XANA!', Inuyasha thought.
Ulrich gave a very disgusted look at the sight.
"Not even a Return to the Past can erase this image!", Ulrich said in absolute disgust, "And this is something, Jim would definetly add to his list of thing to not talk about."
Yumi looked away and once more pulled out her cell phone and called Jeremie.
"Jeremie, have you guys deactivated that tower yet?", Yumi asked.
"I didn't. It deactivated itself because the forest sector is being deleted.", Jeremie said.
At that moment everyone who was possessed woke up.
"GAH!", Jim screamed in disgust and jumped away from Inuyasha quickly, "INUYASHA, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!"
"IT'S NOT ME YOU BIG OAF! YOU WERE SLEEPING ON TOP OF ME!", Inuyasha screamed and began licking the dirt ferociously.
Yumi face palmed and hung up. She popped out of the bushes.
"I think I found moss that was the result of pollution! I love science field trips!", Yumi said.
Jim and Ms. Hertz gave Yumi an incredulous look.
"Oh yeah, then explain why I was on top of Inuyasha!", Jim said pointing at the Half Demon who was still licking the ground.
Ms. Hertz faced Inuyasha and gave a disgusted look.
"Stop licking the dirt right now, young man!", Ms. Hertz said, "You have no idea what kinds of bacteria are found- What the?!"
"What?! This crap is better than Jim's spit!", Inuyasha said and continued to lick the dirt.
Ms. Hertz and Jim tried to get Inuyasha to stop licking the ground but failed every which way.
"Jeremie, get the Return to the Past ready. Ms. Hertz and Jim discovered Inuyasha's ears while he was licking the dirt.", Yumi said.
"Why is he licking the dirt?", Jeremie asked.
"You don't want to know. It's too disturbing...", Yumi said and hung up.
"I knew you were something!", Jim said as he tried pulling Inuyasha by the leg to get him to stop licking the dirt, "I just didn't expect you to really be some sort of freaky mutt!"
"I AM NOT A MUTT!", Inuyasha yelled as the white bubble went over everything and began to reverse time.
Later in the Factory...
"It's no use, the Forest Sector doesn't exist anymore.", Jeremie said.
"I should have tried harder!", Kagome said.
"Kagome, it's not your fault!", Inuyasha said.
"If I hadn't the Way Tower I would have never used that code!", Aelita said.
"Can you two stop blubbering!?", Inuyasha said as he crossed his arms.
"I am not blubbering!", Kagome shouted.
"Yeah you are!", Inuyasha said.
"SIT!", Kagome shouted.
Inuyasha meet the floor that time.
"It's not your fault Aelita! XANA used you. The attack was to lure us to Lyoko.", Jeremie said as he comforted Aelita.
"But why did he do it?", Odd asked.
"Without the surface sectors, we can't get to Sector Five.", Jeremie said.
"So that means XANA will try to destroy all of them, right?", Odd asked.
"That's why I have to find a way to materialize you directly into Sector Five.", Jeremie said, "Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me. Well, it's a good thing I'm not gonna get elected class rep!"
"How do you know that?", Odd asked.
"Easy, because we're all gonna vote for you!", Jeremie said.
Later in class...
"And your newly-elected class representative is... Odd Della Robbia!", Mr. Fumet said.
Everyone cheered as Odd smiled brightly. Even Nicolas clapped for Odd.
"Don't tell me you voted for him!", Sissi snapped.
"Well, yeah I did!", Nicolas said.
Sissi turned to Herve.
"Stop smiling!", Sissi snapped.
Soon students began to pile around Odd like lost puppies.
"I have a problem with the math teacher!"
"I am having problems in gym class!"
"Do you think that we could get..."
"Whoa! Yes! Take your turns! Calm down!", Odd said trying to settle down the crowds of students.
In the background, the other Lyoko Warriors snickered at the sight.
Ulrich turned to Yumi.
"Do you think we should share what happened in the forest with Odd?", Ulrich asked.
"Maybe.", Yumi said.
"What happened in the forest?", Kagome asked.
"If we told you, you would blow a casket.", Ulrich said and shuddered for emphasis.
"Wait! Hold on! Don't you dare mention what happened!", Inuyasha shouted as he became disturbed by the memory of it, "I have had enough sit commands today!"
"Inuyasha...", Kagome sang.
"Kagome no! It's too disturbing for you to know!", Inuyasha said.
"How disturbing?", Kagome asked.
"Enough for me to eat dirt! Literally!", Inuyasha said.
"Okay then... I am not going to ask.", Kagome said.
