Episode 5: Big Bug

Milly leaned against the one of the many trees on the Kadic Junior High campus and faced the front entrance of her school. For once in a long time, her and her best friend Tamiya were actually having a conversation that didn't involve the words, "late breaking news" or "special bulletin" or with Tamiya with a camera in her hand. Today was a carefree day for the two girls, since they didn't have to worry about their reporting duties all becasue Jim accidently damaged the computer used for editing when he tripped over its extension cord. Surprisingly, the computer wasn't damaged that badly but it was still wreaked enough for it to warrant the need of repair. Milly was listening to an interesting story that Tamiya was telling her about her mother and an incident that happened to them while they were at the mall.

"So I come out of the changing room and my mother is all like "you can't wear that, it shows your belly button", and I say to her, it's the latest fashion mom and it's not that bad."

Milly giggled at Tamiya's story finding it quiet entertaining.

"I so know what you mean Tamiya. One time, I told my mother what I was going to wear for our prom this year. Next thing you know, she goes crazy and says "you're much to young to be wearing cloths like that." Our mothers are strange people huh Tamiya?"

The two friends shared a moment of laughter together. Today was going to be a carefree day for the both of them indeed.

---

Odd and Ulrich leaned against the gate of their school and waited for Yumi and Jin to show up so they could all walk to class together.

"So Ulrich" Odd spoke to his friend trying to start up a conversation to kill time. "What challenges do you think today has in store for the both of us?"

"Well I'm not sure, I'm not too worried since I can handle a lot of situations on my own but there is only one challenge that, I think, would even make XANA wince if he had to face it."

"You mean..."

"Yep Sissy."

Now it was Odd and Ulrich's turn to laugh today which caught a curious stare from the girl that they were waiting for.

"What's so funny?" Yumi asked as she drew closer to the campus step by step.

"It's nothing, just talking about how Sisssy would be able to defeat XANA if the two would ever meet." Odd said picturing the fight in his head.

"That's a very "interesting" thought Odd." Yumi said a little uneasy on how "healthy" the boy's imagination were.

Ulrich found something strange that was occurring in their current discussion. It seamed so...so...quiet. He looked to Yumi's side and found his answer, there was no one standing next to her.

"Hey Yumi, where's your brother?" Ulrich asked curious about Jin's whereabouts.

"He left home WAY earlier than me. He said he wanted to explore the campus early in the morning."

"Going to school earlier than one should. Man Jin is defiantly one in a million...and a strange one to boot."

"Well let's just go inside now" Yumi said wanting a change of scenery. "Maybe then we'll run into Jin sooner or later."

---

Milly and Tamiya had their fill of stories about their protective mothers and the topic of the conversation was getting duller by the minute so they decided to change it to a more exiting one. A topic that most girls their age would eagerly participate in...

To put it bluntly, they were talking about boys.

The candidates were endless. Any boy from any movie, tv show and magazine that they could think of was put under their magnifying glass of scrutiny to see if they were really "hot" or were they just part of a passing craze. It was that moment, Milly decided to bring the conversation a little closer to home.

She started talking about boys at their school.

"So, who are our potential candidates?" Tamiya asked. They weren't really focusing on boys they liked right now, but more on boys they know.

Milly had a mischievous grin on her face. "Dirk and Clayton" she wanted to start the round of discussion with a gag suggestion.

"Clayton's big and that's it. Dirk, if he wasn't so mean I think he would be more popular around here. He's always so cool and rarely loses his temper and I think that's really awesome! Not too mention that brooding look he carries around. Do you know that there are some girls who actually find that attractive?" Tamiya finished her anaylsis on Dirk and Clayton and wanted to move on. "So who's next?"

Milly thought to herself and decided to analyze Yumi's group of friends, "Jeremie"

"He's seems pretty sweet but he spends all his time on his computer."

"Yeah, it's like his girlfriend was inside of it or something."

If only Milly knew how absolutely right she was.

"Next person Milly" Tamiya said enjoying this discussion.

"Odd"

"He's such a goof ball and he's really funny. He has a great sense of humor but not my type."

"Jin"

Now Tamiya had to think over that one. Jin was a very interesting person to analyze. "That's a tough one Milly, I'm really going to have to think this through."

"What do you mean?"

"Well his personalities conflict with one another."

"I'm not following you Tamiya" Milly said scratching her head.

"Well you know how he acts all goofy and childish sometimes?"

"Yeah"

"Think back to the first day he showed up and when he single-handedly trashed Dirk and Clayton."

Milly thought back to that day. She was reporting on the building on prom and saw the whole thing first hand.

"I remember, Jin didn't even flinch when Clayton tried to punch his head off. That guy has the potential to have such a mean streak, yet he acts so gentle and caring around others."

"Yep, he's a tough specimen to look over." Tamiya had enough of talking about Jin's personality traits and wanted to find another subject. "Ok Milly, who do we have left?"

"Well the only one that remains is Ulrich."

The slight mention of his name both made the girls dreamy eyed as they stared at the sky and pictured the boy's face in the clouds.

---

Nicholas stood at the group's normal meeting place and awaited for the other's arrival. It was common practice for him, waiting in the middle of campus for Sissy and Herb to arrive but he always wondered why he was still friends with those two. He had every reason to leave the group, both Sissy and Herb would call him stupid on a constant basis and he never really did contribute to all of the schemes that Sissy was planning but there was one thing that prevented him from doing so. Nicholas knew that deep down inside, both Sissy and Herb cared for him, they just had a hard time expressing it. Nicholas remembered the time during the band tryouts when Sissy defended his drumming abilities from the likes of Dirk and Clayton. Not to mention that Herb was the first one standing to give him a hardy applause performance after his performance. There were other moments where the exhibited kindness towards him, like when Herb stayed in his room during the late hours of the night to help him prepare his physics test for Mrs. Hertz or when Sissy helped carry him to the infirmary because he injured his leg while playing tennis a few weeks ago. These moments didn't come as often as he would like them to and only made up a small amount in the total experiences he had with them. Although ninety-
nine percent of the time he had with them was not as enjoyable, but it was that last one percent that made things all worth while.

"Hey Nicholas, have you seen Sissy?" Herb asked, finally arriving at the meeting place.

"Nope, I've just been standing here all day."

Soon enough Sissy did join her two friends but was obviously angry at something.

"Say Sissy what's eating you?" Herb asked confused on why she would be so angry at such an early hour.

"I've just walked by Milly and Tamiya and they were talking about Ulrich again. I thought I taught those two their lesson at prom. Looks like I'm going to have to give them a refresher course. Let's go you two."

---

Ulrich's timing couldn't have been any better for the two girls. Right when he was the subject of their discussion, he decided to reveal himself along with Odd, Yumi and Jeremie.

"There he is Tamiya." Milly said excited the boy's entrance.

"Oh, how can one man be so handsome?" Tamiya asked equally as overjoyed as her friend.

Sissy chose this moment to crash their little party.

"Aren't you two a little too young to be swooning over boys?"

Milly had some unfinished business with the girl ever since the prom incident. Least she got the last laugh when Ulrich asked her to the dance instead of Yumi.

"What's the matter with you Sissy? Just because you're older than us does not give you the authority to start bossing us around and making judgements!"

"It's not my fault that you failed to listen to my advice last time for I see that you have reverted back to your old, ignorant ways. Face it, both of you girls are a little too wet behind the ears to be thinking about boys. And look, you got a spot of milk underneath your cheek from your bottle."

Tamiya began wiping her face with her sleeve worried that there was a spot of food on it.

"Hey look Sissy she fell for it. She's so gullible." Nicholas laughed at Tamiya's misfortune.

"Shut it Nicholas! I swear, you two boys should be defending these girls. The two of you have no class what so ever."

Nicholas quickly kept his mouth shut. Looks like today was going to fall under the ninety-nine percent of his experiences with Sissy. He watched Sissy throw her hair over her shoulders amd waited for Ulrich to arrive.

"Now watch you two rookies as I demonstrate the powers that I possess that help me get any boy I want" She said to the girls before turning towards Ulrich. "Hello Ulrich" Sissy said in her sweetest tone of voice. "So when are you going to stop ignoring me and start telling me your true feelings?"

Ulrich found Sissy's question rather funny, although it wasn't her intention for it to be. "You got it all wrong Sissy, I'm not ignoring you."

Sissy saw a faint glimmer of hope in what Ulrich just said.

"Really?"

To bad that glimmer of hope was VERY short-lived.

"Yep, I'm just allergic to anyone who's arrogant and conceded and it that category you win hands down."

Now it was Sissy's turn to be ridiculed as all the other people listening, including Nicholas and Herb were laughing at the joke Ulrich just told. She could hear seven distinct patterns of laughter. She then heard another voice boom not too far off in the distance.

Ok scratch that, there were now eight distinct patterns of laughter, but who was the extra person. Sissy looked around the circle, currently with her were Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Herb, Nicholas, Milly and Tamiya. With herself included there were only SEVEN people present, but she could hear EIGHT voices. Before she knew it, Sissy's answer came to her face to face.

"Man Sissy, Ulrich told you REAL bad." Jin said to the confused girl.

"WHAT THE?" Sissy yelled out in astonishment. If here eyes weren't playing tricks on her, then she was talking to Jin who, at the moment, was upside-down? This was no illusion she later realized. Jin was suspended on a low tree branch and was using his legs to hold himself up.

"What are you doing up there Jin?" Sissy asked still dumbfounded by the sight.

"Hanging around" Jin looked at his present condition before tacking on another statement. "No pun intended, sorry."

"What are you supposed to be today Jin? A single-sleeve wearing bat?" Sissy shot back to try to stay on the offensive in the insult war.

"If I'm a single-sleeve wearing bat, then you're a peppy, pink, pompous, premadonna" Jin countered, still upside-down.

"Nice alliteration." Odd commented after hearing Jin's retort.

"Thanks"

Now it was Odd's turn to join in on the Sissy bashing that Ulrich and Jin started. He walked over to Milly and Tamiya and began to talk to them.

"I guess Sissy has been telling you on how she could get any boy she wishes, and she's right. Just look at the two nobody's that always hang around her."

Now Nicholas was angry. He let out a slight growl and stepped forward and was eagerly waiting to get his shot in at Odd. Before a rumble could erupt between the two student's Sissy raised her arm and held Nichoals back.

"Wow Sissy, you should be a dog trainer." Ulrich said after seeing how easily she was able to control Nicholas.

"You're correct Ulrich, she was able to keep him under wraps with out using the choke train. Now that takes skills." Jin joked which prompted another roar of laughter from the group.

Sissy couldn't take the ridicule any longer. She had to say something to salvage whatever dignity she had left.

"Go ahead a laugh all you want Ulrich but I know you feel differently. I see the way you look at me when your not with your precious group of friends!"

Jin immediately stopped laughing once he heard Sissy say those words and had a shocked expression on his face as he slowly lost touch with what was going on. Not only did Jin lose the offensive in the insult war that was going on, he also lost his balance as his legs began to lose their grip on the branch they were hanging on.

CRASH!

Jin landed on the back of his head as the rest of his body slowly crumpled back down into a laying position. Fortunately for him, the branch he was resting on was rather low to the ground so he was uninjured from his fall.

"Humph, serves him right for making fun of me." Sissy said, showing little remorse to the boy that was in front of her. "If you ask me, this was all the result of karma. You get what you deserve."

Jin stood up and rubbed the back of his head and rolled his neck to get the crick out of it. He looked at the ground and confessed a secret to the group. "Actually guys, that is true. When Ulrich is alone, he does look at Sissy differently. I saw it with my own eyes" He said solemnly admitting defeat to the girl."

"He does?" Odd said confused.

"He does?" Yumi yelled out.

"He does?" Sissy asked not really focusing on what she was saying. She had no idea that her lie held some truth in it. "Uh I mean...of course he does!" She yelled in triumph to cover up the fact that she was just as confused as Odd and Yumi. "Well Jin, seeing how you were the only one truthful enough to admit that to everyone, maybe you should show the rest of your friends the face Ulrich has when he see's me alone."

"Ok" Jin said with a hint of sadness in his voice. "Well guys, he looks at Sissy like THIS!"

Jin molded his face to match the expression one would wear if they had to eat live earth worms that were swimming in garbage juice for about two months. Jin had once again used his powers of acting to trick Sissy and once again make her look like the fool in the end. Sissy stomped away from the others with Nicholas and Herb tailing her closely behind.

"Oh man Jin, you almost had me going. For a minute there I actually thought she was telling the truth." Odd said patting him on the back.

"Sissy is one "interesting" individual to say the least."

"Yeah, what's her problem?" Ulrich added.

Despite the disgust he just exhibited towards Sissy, Yumi couldn't help but feel a little worried that Sissy was slowly winning Ulrich's affection little by little.

Odd smacked himself in the forehead once he realized that he made a critical error that day.

"Aw man I forgot to feed Kiwi! I better do that now, you guys wanna come watch?"

Yumi shook her head. "Sorry Odd, I promised Jeremie that I would meet him in his room today."

"How about you Jin?"

Jin thought out his answer before opening his mouth. "As much as I would like to watch a dog eat processed food, I think my time will be better spent in Jeremie's room."

---

It was a rare occasion for Jeremie indeed. For once he was actually on his computer and NOT connected to Aelita. Jeremie was taking care of some very crucial business in their fight against XANA and he knew that if had Aelita watching over his work, he would not get anything done for he will spend a majority of his time talking to her. However, if Aelita wasn't going to disturb his work, then there would have to be somebody who would take her place.

"And now Yumi, for one-million dollars and A BRAND NEW CAR!" Jeremie heard a voice slightly muffled by the door but still very audible. "What activity is Jeremie working on?"

And that somebody was Jin Ishiyama.

Yumi decided to play around with Jin's game for kicks. Currently he impersonating a game show host and she figured out that she was supposed to be the contestant.

"I don't know Jin. Is the answer talking to Aelita?"

"Well let's she if she's right. Yumi, please open DOOR NUMBER ONE!"

Yumi opened the door and saw Jeremie typing furiously on his computer but there was no Aelita in sight.

Jin continued using his game show host voice. "I am so sorry Yumi. If you only said typing on the computer then you would have won the grand prize but we have some lovely parting gifts for you."

"Sorry Yumi" Jeremie apologized. "On normal circumstances that would have been the correct answer but not today. Today, I'm working on a program that would prove very useful to us."

Jin finally ended his game and began to speak normally. "Ehh, how useful? Does the program go back in Lyoko for us and kill all the monsters that are around the tower giving us a REAL easy time when we get there?" Jin asked using a common practice called "wishful thinking".

Nope, I may be good at computers, but I can't work miracles."

"So what does the program do?" Yumi asked straight faced.

"Well I'm uploading to all the major websites out there now. It's basically a warning program that rates all unnatural disasters on a scale of one to ten. Whenever a disaster ranks higher than a five then the programs informs me of it. It's the best way for us to spot a potential XANA attack."

"Now that's something" Jin said throughly impressed. "Who knows where would we be without this program. We could spend all our time in Lyoko, work our tail feathers to the bone only to find out it was just some guy's toaster oven that was jammed shut instead of a XANA trying to destroy the world."

Jin's last comment seemed a little "off" to him. "Jin, what on Earth are you saying?"

"I have no idea." Jin said shrugging his shoulders.

"Yumi, is he really your brother?"

"I have no idea" Yumi said copying Jin's pose, in every minute detail.

---

XANA's little "stay" inside the bus's electronic computer gave him another genius idea for his next attack. He was able to cause so much trouble by just controlling a simple bus. Now imagine the complete pandemonium that would result if he did that on a nationwide basis however, there were a few snags to the scheme that needed to be ironed out. For one, it was physically impossible for him to gain control of every plane, train and automobile in the nation but then again, if he couldn't possess them directly, maybe he can cause grief to them in another way. Those vehicles all need to be regulated through the use of stop lights and there were even some trains that rely on the use of computers to control their speed and when they stop. Now this was a plan, and he had perfect access to all the tools he needed. All those big fancy computers had to be plugged into some sort of power source.

---

Kiwi greedily ate his bowl of dog food in front of his two male companions, Odd and Ulrich. Ulrich noticed an eerie similarity between the dog's eating habits and a certain someone he knew.

"Yo Odd, Kiwi looks like Nicholas in the lunch room."

"Hey don't compare Kiwi to that slob. My dog has way better manners than that Sissy flunky. I'd bet you that at the end of lunch, it's Nicholas who would have the most food and slobber smeared across his face, not my dog."

Ulrich really didn't want to picture that sight over concerns of maintaining his sanity. A drooling, food-covered Nicholas was too creepy for his taste.

"Hey Odd, I got a great idea that would let some air out of Sissy's overinflated ego. You in?"

"If it involves Sissy being ticked off then, by all means, I'm good to go."

---

It was just another ho hum day at the office for Richard Anderson. Watching the computer display that oversaw the path the trains were taking was just as exciting as watching paint dry. The task was so simple, even a two year old could perform it since most of the hard work was being done by computers nowadays making Richard question his true worth in the company he was working for. It was a mentally taxing job for him, not because of all the thinking he had to do, but because he had to use all the mental strength he had to fight back the urge to fall asleep. Downing his third set of coffee and doughnuts that day, the job didn't really offer much in the realms of breaks or food choices but a job was a job, no matter how boring it was. Richard lifted the styrofoam cup to his lips and began to take another large gulp of coffee in hopes that the caffeine could keep him awake until his lunch break.

And that's when all Hell broke lose at his office.

Every single monitor displayed a strange looking eye as all the technicians on the floor did their best to tried to rid themselves of the menace.

"Is this a work of a hacker?" Richard asked starring at the strange eye. "Well it's not my problem to worry about, all I have to do is watch the trains and hope they don't crash into each other."

Richard lifted the cup to his lips once more and stared at the train routes before spitting the hot coffee all over his monitor.

"HOLY CRAP!"

Richard immediately sprung into action. He grabbed the nearest telephone and began to dial the number for the train dispatch office.

"This is Richard Anderson of station number forty-seven we currently have two trains set on a collision course on track seventy five and I request that you tell us what those two trains are carrying."

With a few keystrokes the operator was able to provide Richard with all the information he needed. Richard's grip on the phone was released after hearing the operator's reply.

"Toxic chemicals" he said meekly unable to comprehend the disaster that was fast approaching. Not wanting to waste a single minute, Richard slammed his fist against the desk and stood up.

"CODE RED EVERYONE! CODE RED! I WANT EVERYONE WORKING ON TRYING TO STOP THIS!" Richard screamed with all his furry.

---

It had been a very slow news day for reporter Catalina Winterson. For some reason there was absolutely nothing exciting going on today so to fill up time her station forced her to showcase all those stupid human interest stories that she despised with a passion.

"I swear to God" Catalina grumbled to herself. "If I have to do ANOTHER story about some damn chipmunk water skiing, I will personally walk over to my manager a strangle the life out of him."

Suddenly the station intern stormed through the double doors of the studio and threw the latest news bulletin to the impatient reporter. She quickly picked it up and began to skim through the lines.

"Now this is a story that I care about!" She exclaimed as she looked at her focal point and watched the cameraman begin the countdown.

---

Jeremie finished the last few commands on his program and hit the enter key which sent it all over the world wide web.

"There" He said which giving his arms a good stretch. "All we have to do is wait for the XANA attack to come and see if its working."

Yumi was lost in thought to care about anything that was going on around her right now. Both Jin and Jeremie noticed this and became curious.

"Ok Yumi what is it?" The both said simultaneously.

"It's Sissy, do you think Ulrich likes her?"

"Sissy" The boys said in unison once again.

"Ok this is freaking me out." Jin said not liking the whole "word synchronisation" he and Jeremie just recently developed.

"Same here." Jeremie replied equally as frightened.

"Why don't you handle this?" Jin said gesturing towards him.

"Ok I will" Jeremie redirected his attention to answering Yumi's question. "Sissy Yumi? Come on, you know as well as I do that there is no romantic connection between those two. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're jealous."

"Jealous" Yumi began to stammer over her words after Jeremie's accusation.

"Jealous...how could...I...and...she..Sissy...ARRRG!"

"Whoa sis chill out" Jin said trying his best to quell Yumi's temper. "How come I only see you flare up like that when it comes to matters concerning Ulrich and Sissy? Oh well, that not for me to ponder right now. Look Yumi, even when Ulrich spent all that "quality time" with Sissy when she had his diary, don't you remember how miserable he was?"

Yumi was uncomfortable with the current topic of the conversation and decided to change it to get the heat off of her.

"So Jeremie, I hope I can see your program in action."

"Yumi" Jin said, pointing out an inherent flaw of her request. "The only way you would be able to see the thing in motion is if at this moment XANA decides to launch another attack but that will never happen."

Soon Jeremie's computer screen was converted to a television set as the three teenagers watched the local news.

"We have a late breaking story." The female reporter on the screen said.

"I just had to open my big mouth" Jin yelled out in despair and was soon hushed by both Yumi and Jeremie."

"Computers regulating various aspects of transportation have gone haywire all over the nation but the most watched story of the moment are the two trains set on a collision course with one another. We now take you live to Jonathan Reed who is at the train station where one of the trains originally departed."

The screen now focused on a middle-aged male reporter standing near a set of train tracks.

"That's correct. Roughly five minutes ago two trains headed in opposite directions and holding some potent toxic chemicals are now on a collision course with one another. This is Richard Anderson, the technician in charge of watching the train's routes. Please Richard, in your own words, tell the views back home what exactly happened."

The camera pans to the left and reveals Richard standing beside the reporter.

"Well I was just watching the monitor that displays the trains routes when all of a sudden all our computers get attacked by this weird eye symbol."

"WEIRD EYE SYMBOL!" Yumi, Jeremie and Jin repeated in unison.

"After that I checked my station once more and I see that these two trains are about to collide with each other.."

"Thank you Richard." The male reported said before brining his microphone to his face once more."

The news screen was soon divided revealing Catalina on the left-hand side and Jonathan on the right.

"Jonathan, what exactly are those trains carrying that is making this who ordeal such a large emergency."

"Both of the trains are carrying a large amount of toxic chemicals and when they crash into each other they will be released into the environment. Scientist predict that this will result in the ecological disaster of the century."

"Is there anyway to stop the two trains?"

"Not really, both of these trains are unmanned and are guided using computers and currently all the computers that would be used to stop them have been taken over by the virus that has swept the nation. From the city's train track's this is Jonathan Reed. Back to you Catalina."

The divide between the two reporters disappeared as Cataline's image occupied the computer screen once more.

"Thank you Jonathan. We'll you posted on any developments no onto international news..."

Jeremie closed the window that displayed the news broadcast and turned to his friends and waited for their input.

"Hmm.." Jin said while stroking his chin. "I'd give that disaster a 5.5 if I were to rate it but that's a stretch ."

"Aniki, didn't you hear the reporter? Those trains are carrying toxic chemicals that could destroy the environment!"

"Ok then...make it 5.6."

"Well not matter what rating Jin give's this disaster, I can say with utmost certainty that this is the work of XANA." Jeremie said positive of his conclusion.

"Well if this is XANA's doing we should inform the others." Yumi said looking calm. "I'll call Ulrich."

"And I'll punch up Odd's number." Jin said while pulling out his cell phone.

Both the twins pressed the receivers to their ears and hoped that someone would pick up on the other line.

---

This was an all too familiar scene for Sissy. Retreating to her room after being insulted by Ulrich's group of friends. Sissy knew that deep down inside he did have feelings for her and was only treating her so meanly so that he could please his friends. Ulrich didn't really hate her, he was just giving into peer pressure from his group. The faster he got out of the "Weirdo Bunch" the sooner he would be able to overcome his shyness towards her. She had to think of a way to isolate Ulrich and have a good discussion with him heart to heart. Once that thought was complete, Sissy's cell phone rang signaling that it received a text message. Curious of it's contents, Sissy accessed her mail to read it.

---

You are the fairest on of all. Meet me at the garden shed as soon as you can.

With Love,

— You're Secret Admirer

---

Looks like she was going to get her moment alone with him after all. She knew this time would come but she never figured out that it would arrive so soon. She checked herself over in the mirror and was happy to see that she was stunning as always before walking outside her dorm.

---

"You are the fairest one of them all?" Odd exclaimed reading the text message that he sent Sissy. "And here I thought Jin's hanging around line was awful."

Currently he was hiding in a set of bushes along with his best friend that were located near a particular garden shed where an important meeting was about to take place.

"It was the best I could think of. Sounds a whole lot better than "I think you're really pretty" or something stupid like that. Besides it's Shakespeare, she totally loves that mushy stuff."

"Man, you must have spent more time with her than I thought. If you know all her likes and dislikes."

"Please Odd, don't remind me of it. I'm still getting nightmares about the whole thing."

Odd was about to open his mouth after seeing how Ulrich left himself wide open for insult but was abruptly halted when he heard his cell phone ring. Ulrich too stopped what he was doing once he felt a slight vibration in his shirt pocket where he stored his phone. Too caught up in the moment of their prank, the boys both turned off their phones to avoid being detected. Sure enough they soon heard footsteps that were gradually getting louder. Ulrich and Odd both ducked into the bushes and watched in-between the leaves to see the fruits of their labor.

---

Sissy wished she had a camera with her so she could record this moment and save it for prosperity. Ulrich had finally came to his senses and had asked Sissy to met him in private. Pretty soon they'll get to know each other more and he'll leave that undeserving Yumi behind. Then it would only be a matter of time before they start holding hands in public and all those other romantic activities that real couples partake in. She opened the door to the garden shed and was ready to see her love.

"Alone at last Ulrich. I've been waiting for this moment." Sissy said dreamy eyed, right before she was knocked to the ground by another body.

Sissy's eyes was disoriented and had her eyes close so she had no idea what was really going on. She knew that Ulrich had always wanted to be with her but never THIS badly, She wasn't expecting him to be so direct with her. She open her eyelids to gaze into his soft brown eyes and saw her second surprising site that day.

"AHHH!" Sissy screamed as she threw the small dog off of her. "Yuck, I got dog slobber all over me!"

Sissy was once again confronted fits of laugher generated towards her.

"At a boy Kiwi" Odd said, lifting the dog up in his arms.

Sissy stood up and glared at her offenders. "You two set me up!"

"Yes we did, and it was a good set up in fact." Ulrich replied still having trouble controlling his laughter.

"Hey Sissy what's wrong with Kiwi? He acts like your friend Nicholas except that Nicholas has more fleas."

Odd and Ulrich shared another moment of laughter together before leaving Sissy alone to clean up the mess that Kiwi made when he licked her face.

"If my memory serves me correctly, there is a certain school policy that prohibits the presence of pets on school campus." Sissy smiled her plot for revenge was coming together nicely.

---

"That's strange, he shut off his mobile." Yumi and Jin said simultaneously.

"Ok sis we better stop this." Jin said looking concerned.

"Stop what Jin?"

"Ever since we stepped foot in this room, we've been saying stuff simultaneously along with our friend Jeremie and to tell you the truth, the whole thing is freaking me out."

"In case you forgotten..." Jeremie interrupted trying his best to have the two twins focus. "We got a XANA attack on our hands. Once we stop it, you can talk all about voice synchronisation all you want but in the meantime, contact Odd and Ulrich!"

"No can do Einstein." Jin said pocketing his cell phone in his jacket's pocket.

"What?"

"The two of us can't get in contact with either one of them. They turned off their mobiles." Yumi added to Jin's explanation.

"Well you two better find them, or things are going to get real ugly soon."

"Ok then" Yumi and Jin said at the same time. Prompting Jin to slap himself in the forehead.

"Not again" he cried out wondering if this was some sort of curse he had on him.

"Shall we get going Aniki?"

"Wait up Yumi."

Jin removed his headphones and placed his CD player in his backpack before taking out an identical set of street-style headphones to put over his ears.

"Why did you just do that?" Yumi asked perplexed by her brother's sudden change in "wardrobe".

"These are an old pair that broke a long time ago, so I cut the cord off. This way, I can still wear my headphones without me lugging around my player or having the cord get in my way."

"You are so strange Jin."

"I know"

The two siblings said nothing more as the ran outside of the room to search of Ulrich and Odd.

---

Sissy had an easy time tracking down Kiwi as he returned to his room after accomplishing Odd's fowl scheme. The tiny pitter patter sound his paws made on the hard tile floor echoed across the hallway giving off his current location. She watched the dog enter Odd and Ulrich's room totally oblivious of her presence as she stood behind from a safe distance. Kiwi then crawled into an open dresser that Odd converted into his bed and nestled against the cleans sheets inside. Before Kiwi knew what hit him, Sissy was already able to run into the room and shut the drawer shut, trapping him inside the dresser.

"That's right you mangy little mutt. Go ahead and sleep inside your dresser for this will be the last time you'll get to enjoy the comforts of our school, I'll make sure of that!" Sissy taunted the dog. She was joyous of the fact that her luck had changed for the better. Now all she needed was the assistance of one man and her revenge would be complete and any moment now, he would stroll down the dorm's hallway where she could get his attention.

Sure enough, as if on cue, Jim turned right around the hallway that Sissy was standing in humming "Smoke Under Water" to himself.

"Sissy what are you doing here?" Jim asked cutting his tune short.

"I was looking for you because I found something."

"Oh really, what?" Jim asked agin smugly.

"Well I found a dog in one of the dorms."

The hunt for the tiny little beast that roamed the campus of Kadic Junior High was finally over for the P.E. teacher.

"Did you say dog?" He said barely containing his excitement.

"Yes I did Jim" She answered back matter-of-factly.

"So where is it?"

"It's inside Odd and Ulrich's room in the bottom drawer of the dresser. I trapped it there myself so it wouldn't escape."

Jim flashed Sissy the thumbs-up single "Well then let's get it."

Jim walked into the unoccupied dorm and opened the bottom drawer and opened it, revealing the tiny brown dog.

"AHA!" Jim said doing a little celebration dance as if he scored the game winning touchdown at the Super Bowl. "I finally caught you. Your days of using this school as your little playground are over! Oh yeah baby I won! Who da man? Who da man?"

Jim resumed his little victory dance and made an importune song about himself. Sissy wasn't exactly sure of the lyrics but they did involve the lines "Jim is the best" and "You can't keep a good Jim down". Sissy was only able to take about two minutes of the man's celebration before she snapped him out of his fantasy world.

"Ahem" Sissy coughed out thus brining Jim back to his senses.

"Yes Sissy" Jim recovered and acted as if he never made a fool of himself in the first place.

"Disciplinary action will take place, correct Jim?"

"Only on the dog's owner."

"WHAT?" This was an unforseen snag in Sissy's plot that was now brought to her attention. She was expecting to get back at both Odd and Ulrich with her plan but now she had to just settle for one.

"Yep, the school rules only mention punishing the pet's owner."Jim scooped up the tiny dog in his large arms and began to read the tag around it's neck.

"Hmm..according to the information provided here, this is Odd's dog. Now let's see if I can find that boy and show him the consequences for breaking the school rules."

Sissy held up her fingernails and brushed them against her shirt before blowing on them. "Not only are you beautiful Sissy, but you're also very intelligent." She congratulated herself before exiting Odd and Ulrich's room.

---

Yumi angrily marched up to Odd and Ulrich who were currently sitting on a bench still laughing at the practical joke they played on Sissy.

"Oh hi Yumi, you missed a great show a few minutes ago." Ulrich greeted the Japanese girl, noticing her presence.

"Yep, Sissy just got a new boyfriend, although you could say that he is a very unorthodox romantic partner. "

Jin couldn't help but wonder what Odd and Ulrich were talking about. "Ehh, what did you guys do to Sissy?" Jin's curiosity getting the best of him.

"We arranged a secret meeting between Sissy and Kiwi."

"Something tells me that you didn't think your plan all the way through." Jin said in despair.

"What do you mean, it worked didn't it?"

"Isn't it illegal to have pets on campus?"

"Yeah, so?" Odd asked, not knowing where Jin was steering the conversation.

"Well" Jin started out calmly before filling up his lungs with air and began his rant. "YOU DON'T DO A PRANK THAT INVOLVES YOU BREAKING THE SCHOOL RULES IF YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE PRINCIPAL'S DAUGHTER CAUSE SHE'S GOING TO BURN YOU IN THE END!"

Odd and Ulrich stared blankly at Jin and were frighted if he was going to have another outburst.

Jin cleared his throat and spoke again. "Ok, now that I have you're full attention class, Yumi has something very important to tell you both."

An frustrated looking Yumi approached the bench and started Ulrich in the eye.

"The both of us have been trying to contact you for the past five minutes! XANA has launched another attack!"

"That is serious Yumi, we better head to the factory right now!" Ulrich said standing and ready to go.

Before any of the friends could make another move, Jim choose that exact moment to crash the party.

"Odd can I have a word with you?"

Odd stood up from the bench and walked towards Jim only to see his dog in Jim's arms.

"Oh no! He found out about Kiwi."

"You bet I did, now come with me, its time you learned the consequences of brining pets on campus." Jim said, leading Odd to the detention room.

Sissy placed both of her hands on her hips and gave Ulrich a sly smile.

"Why do I have a feeling that you played a vital role in this?" Ulrich asked the girl in front of him.

Sissy chose not to respond and instead walked away not caring what Ulrich thought at this moment.

"Listen guys, what's done is done." Yumi said trying to get the group to focus once more. "Jeremie is already at the factory so we better head there too. We'll go through the park since we're much closer to it."

---

Jeremie's fingers danced around the keyboard on the factory's computer as he established a connection with Aelita.

"Aelita, are you thre?" Jeremie asked his voiced laced with a feeling of urgency.

"Yes I am Jeremie, what seems to be the problem?"

"I think XANA has launched another attack. Where are you right now?"

"I'm currently in the dessert region. I'll see what I can find and update you if I find anything suspicious."

Aelita disconnected from Jeremie and began her patrol on Lyoko.

---

Jim shoved the detention room door open and lead Odd inside. Sure he felt a hint of remorse for the kid he was punishing, he was really close to his dog and all but that animal had caused him so much grief. He could remember many a time when he would walk the dorm's hallways late at night and her a strange scratching sound coming from the rooms and of course who could forget that incident where the dog actually cameinto his room and began in the middle of the night. He did not like being woken up to go for a midnight jog, nighttime was meant for sleeping, not chasing around troublesome animals.

"Come on Jim." Odd pleaded with the large teacher. "Can't you just bend the rules just once for me?"

"Odd I've already said it once and I'll say it again. NO!"

"But Jim he's such a small dog, he won't cause any trouble."

"Rules are rules and that thing has been nothing but trouble for me. Do you know how many sleepless nights I had wondering if I was going crazy?" Jim was burning with anger as he relived all of his misfortunes he suffered at the dog's hands.

"Ok Jim, you don't have to get all testy like that. It's like what my friend Jin says, one second of anger equals is one year off your life." Odd said patting himself on the back for finally getting the quote straight and not having to improvise to fill in the missing lines.

"Since when did you become a philosopher?"

"Around the same time you became a dog catcher."

Jin just let out a low grumble before having all of his emotions erupt in one command. "JUST TAKE A SEAT NOW!" He barked out, scarring Odd in the process.

"Ok Odd, you'll be free to go once your parents come over to pick up your tiny friend here. Now in the meantime, just keep quiet and don't bother me unless it's really important."

Jim reached into the desk's drawer and pulled out one of his fitness magazines and began reading it silently. Odd had to find some way to escape from his prison. His first option was to just simply bolt out of the door but that would rise a lot of suspicion from Jim's part jeopardizing their secret so that choice was out of the question. Odd had to get creative if he wished to leave the school and head to the factory. Then an idea hit him, if Kiwi was the cause of his imprisonment in this room, he might as well use him as his means of getting out.

"Hey Jim, I think I'd better take Kiwi out now, I haven't done so all day and you don't want to see what happens if he is denied going outside."

Jim lowered his magazine and stared at the dog who was comfortably sleeping on the floor.

"He looks fine to me."

"This is going to be harder than I thought." Odd said to himself as he began to rethink his strategy.

---

Aelita crawled on all fours as not to give any indication of her presence to XANA's monsters. She hid behind a nearby rock and began to survey the scenery before her. Similar to his pervious attack, the tower that XANA activated was on the other side of a giant sea of sand, vacant of any monsters or life. Aelita resumed her connection with Jeremie to tell him the news.

---

Jeremie accessed the news station that he was watching in his dorm so get more information on that XANA attack that was plaguing the nation. Catalina Winterson stood at her desk and stared directly ahead at the camera and began to deliver her report once more.

"So far no new developments have arisen concerning the two trains bound for a collision course as they are still rocketing down the tracks at one another at an unprecedented speed. In other news, some cities are in complete chaos as mass riots have swept in the nation from people taking advantage of this unusual computer virus."

"JEREMIE!" Aelita cried out appearing on the computer screen and interrupting his viewing of the afternoon news, not that he really cared for it in the first place.

"Any news from Lyoko?"

"Yes, XANA has activated a tower in the desert region!"

"Once the others get here, I'll send them to Lyoko ASAP."

"Ok Jeremie."

"And Aelita, be careful." Jeremie ended his connection and sat at his chair worried if the girl he cares for would do anything rash.

---

Jin was the first one to arrive at the factory's window with Ulrich and Yumi trailing not too far behind.

"Ok guys, we got a toxic disaster to prevent!" Jin yelled back to his companions.

"Bring it on!" Jin yelled before grabbing the rope and swinging across the factory floor. He opted not to do a repeat performance of his famous backflip from the last XANA attack out of risk on injury and instead landed on the floor in his traditional "Hero Crouch" which involved him landing on one knee and having his right hand on the floor and having his left arm extended fully behind him. Yumi and Ulrich soon made their presences well known as they caught up to Jin and boarded the elevator and took their positions.

Jeremie was relieved once he heard the elevator doors open, revealing his friends on the other side.

"Ok Jeremie what's going on?" Yumi asked, making her way to his computer.

Jeremie looked up at the group and noticed three bodies standing before him instead of four.

"Where's Odd?" He asked wondering about the spiky-haired blond's current whereabouts.

"Jim found out about Kiwi and threw Odd in detention." Ulrich said providing the abridged version of the day's events.

"We'll just have to make do without him then. Ok you three head to the scanners now."

---

The elevator doors closed on the three friends once again taking them further down the depths of the abandoned factory. It was always fascinating to know that out of the millions and millions of people that in habited the planet, it was up to a group of five teenagers, selected by chance, and a computer program to save the world on a constant basis. The elevator ride was less stressful since Ulrich was now with the twins and was ready to kick some XANA behind.

Jin removed his extra pair of headphones and began spinning them on his index finger. "So guys, what do you think we'll be facing this time?"

Ulrich shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, monsters."

"Hardy har har" came a fake laughter from Jin's lips.

Yumi used to moment to tell Jin some more words of encouragement before they were virtualized once more.

"By the way Aniki, you did real good on your first day in Lyoko."

"You're just saying that sis, I really didn't do that much. Heck I kept my weapon holstered that entire time. Plus I let that damn Mega Tank kill you. When I saw you devirtualized I almost lost it." Jin said a little disappointed with his performance.

"Jin, you kept Aelita safe and got her to the tower along with Odd's help. That's all we really need. Plus don't worry about me getting devirtualized, it happens to all of us."

The two of them shared another hug in the elevator before the doors to the scanner room opened.

---

Richard threw down the stack of papers he was holding and gave the machine that was plaguing him a sharp kick to the side.

"You computerized bastard! Why won't you get the hell out of my office? You're going to be the cause of this accident and when they record this event in the history book they're going to put that I'm one of the reasons why it happened!"

Richard looked at the display that showed the two trains getting nearer and near by the second and wished that there was a simple handbrake that could stop the trains from moving but in this day and age, finding that sort of manul technology was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"Great, twenty minutes before impact. When this is all over, I can both kiss the environment and my reputation goodbye. Maybe I can get a job selling pencils on the street corner provided if these chemicals will ever get out of the air."

Thoughts of the impending disaster filled Richard's head with horrific images and his heart with rage. Needing to vent his emotions once more, he turned towards the computer.

"DAMN YOU!" He yelled once more before he rammed his foot into the metal basin of the machine.

---

Oh yeah this was going to be WAY harder than he originally thought it would be. Jim was a lot smarter than he let on, experience was the best teacher and Jim and enough experience to boot. Underneath that gruff exterior lied the cunningness of a sly fox. Jim was a pretty sharp individual and if Odd tried enacting some sort of half-baked escape plan Jim would be able to see through it like a pane of glass in no time flat. Odd looked at the front of the class room and saw that the big guy was asleep, a perfect moment to set up his latest plan. With Jim sleeping, Odd could talk to Kiwi as loud as he wanted. He nudged the small dog with his foot waking him from his slumber.

"Hey Kiwi get up." The dog stood up on Odd's command. He had to get a violent reaction from the dog without hurting and there was only one thing he could do to accomplish that.

"Do you want a biscuit, a nice juicy biscuit?

Kiwi LOVED biscuits as much as his tiny dog-sized heart could muster. Just seeing a biscuit would drive him bonkers, having him beg Odd to feed him one so when faced with the prospects of being offered one, Kiwi was not going to let the opportunity slip by so easily.

Odd got the reaction that he was hoping for.

Kiwi sprung into life instantaneously as if Odd injected several ounces of coffee into his bloodstream. He hopped up and down and began barking at an uncontrollable rate filling the empty room up with his high-pitched yelp.

There was no chance in Hades that Jim was able to sleep through the commotion that Kiwi was causing.

"Odd, what is wrong with your dog, can you keep him quiet. I'm trying to rest here."

"I told you before Jim, he behaves this way a lot. So you either let me take him outside or you sitting through all his barking until my parents get over here."

Jim laid his head down and began to pound his desk with his fist. That dog's barking wasreally getting on his nerves and if he didn't stop soon Jim was going to take a page out of the starving artist Vincent van Gogh's playbook and rip one of his ears off. However, he couldn't just let Odd walk out of the door, now that would be stupid.

"Ok Odd, you win. You're dog will be going outside."

"SCORE!" Odd thought to himself wearing a triumphant grin on his face.

"But I'm taking him out, you stay here and don't even think about leaving this room."

Jim attached the leash to Kiwi's collar and walked outside the room with Kiwi trying his best to stay inside. Odd waited a couple of minutes before letting out another roar of laughter. Maybe Jim wasn't as smart as he originally was seeing how he fell for Odd's trick so easily.

"Tsk don't leave the room." Odd said to himself. "That's like telling XANA not to attack the school. It's just not going to happen anyway."

Odd opened a nearby window and jumped out of the building. Fortunately for him the detention room was on the first floor so the fall was pretty small. He dusted himself off and ran towards the park that housed the entrance to the sewers.

Tamiya couldn't believe her eyes and rubbed them once more to see if they were playing tricks on her and sure enough they weren't. Milly saw the sight too and was too busy laughing to care if the sight was real or just a figment of her imagination. It was just THAT funny. In front of her was the infamous Jim, the most intimidating teacher on the campus of Kadic Junior High. His word was almost law as he enforced the campus's regulations with machine-like precession. But his reputation only fueled the humor to the sight before her. Right in the middle of the school, Jim was walking a small brown dog that was no bigger than his forearm. Once again this had to be one of the funniest sights Tamiya saw all day.

"Walking your wittle doogie Jim" Milly said in a sickeningly cute voice.

"Well why don't you take a picture? It would last longer!" Jim yelled out in his defense, only to be blinded by a flash produced by a camera.

"God, what did I have to say that in front of a group of reporters?" Jim grumbled to himself realizing his costly error he made a little too late

"My, my, my, what do we have here?" came an icy cold voice behind him.

"Oh no! Not those two" Jim said out loud.

"Now this is interesting. Big, bad Jim walking a tiny little dog around the school." Clayton pointed out.

Jim just couldn't take the insults anymore. "YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, I AM WALKING A SMALL DOG AND I'M PROUD OF IT! YOU HEAR ME ? PROUD OF IT. P-R-O-U-D!"

Dirk alternated his glances between Jim and Kiwi before placing his hands in his pockets.

"Charming" He said calmly before walking away along with Clayton.

Jim couldn't take the insults anymore and dragged Kiwi back to the detention room.

"Listen you mutt, you had your chance to go to the bathroom but now you're going back inside."

Jim tugged at the leash once more and began to drag Kiwi back inside. Upon reaching opening the door, Jim noticed that the room was now empty and a window that used to be closed was now hanging open, it's hinges squeaking as it moved back and forth as the result of the wind. Jim threw the leash on the floor and turned to dog out of frustration only to watch him lift its hind leg and leave a little "present" behind on the wall.

"They're not paying me nearly enough money for this job" Jim said as he went outside to look for a sponge and a bucket of water so he could clean up this mess.

---

"Ok team, let's go." Yumi said as she entered her scanner.

Jin placed his headphones on the side of the scanner before stepping inside of it. "Alrighty then!" Jin said in his best Ace Ventura voice.

Ulrich said nothing and just walked inside and waited for the door to close. Jeremi's voice soon came over the speakers.

"Ok guys, I'll be starting the process shortly. And to Jin, please don't try to tie your shoelaces again! Now let's begin. Transfer Yumi. Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Jin.

All three of the heroes heard the familiar hum that the scanner made signaling that everything was working perfectly.

"Scanner Yumi. Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Jin."

Jeremie uploaded all three of the character cards in record time before pressing the return button.

"Virtualization!"

---

Ulrich and Yumi both landed on Lyoko's surface gracefully. As for Jin...

"AHHH!"

THUD!

Let's just say he needed a little more work on his landing.

"I see your brother still has trouble landing on his feet." Aelita commented as the walked towards the group.

"Well least the dirt on Lyoko still taste the same." Jin said from his all-too-familiar position of lying face down in the ground.

"Get up Jin" Ulrich said rather sharply. "We have work to do"

Jin slowly stood up and was introduced to Ulrich's Lyoko character.

"Now that's really cool!" Jin said commenting on his outfit. "Ulrich is a samurai in Lyoko. I'm totally digging the yellow headband and katana you got there."

Ulrich didn't really have time for Jin's wise cracks as he had a mission to do.

"Let's just deactivate the tower before anything bad happens back on Earth."

Ulrich and the others walked into the depths of the dessert and noticed that they were standing in a wide open area.

"Yumi, is it just me or does this place hold an eerie resemblance to the last time I was in Lyoko?" Jin asked sensing that something was amiss here.

"There is,..no monsters and an open field, this could possible be another XANA ambush."

"If I see another sandstorm here I'm going to lose it." Jin said clenching his hand into a fist.

Jeremie looked at his holomap and saw several red marks around his friends.

"GUYS WATCH OUT! YOU'RE SURROUND BY MONSTERS!" He yelled to warn the combatants.

The party froze in their tracks and checked their surroundings. Ulrich held his arm up to warn the others as he drew out his sword and waited for the enemy. Yumi responded kindly by pulling out her fan and began to scan the area. Jin stood next to Aelita before spreading his legs out slightly and rasing his arms up, forming his battle stance.

Jin looked straight ahead at the unseen enemies and began to gesture towards them with his hand. "Ok XANA, let's rock!"

Yumi turned to her brother and notice that despite the inevitable battle that they were going to be drawn in, Jin's hands were still empty but before she could worry about this thought, she saw five beams of red light coming towards the group.

"AHH!" Ulrich screamed out as he was struck in his right shoulder. Yumi looked at her friend and didn't see the laser pierce her abdomen. Instinctively she keeled over in pain placing both her arms on the area to help ease her suffering. Jin saw both Yumi and Ulrich get hit by the barrage and narrowly sidestepped the laser that was intended to go into his chest. Aelita too was able to avoid damage by ducking underneath the attack. Ulrich recovered from his trauma and looked at the line of enemies before him.

"Guys, you're being attacked by five blocks!" Jeremie yelled at the group.

"I can see thatnow Jeremie." Ulrich said flatly.

Jin looked at the enemies and held up his hands in defense. "Ok, so much for rock. Mozart anyone?"

The blocks opened fired at the party once more. Ulrich used his sword to deflect the lasers while Yumi leapt into the air and threw her fan at one of the enemies. The block effortlessly dodge the oncoming attack and Yumi caught her fan.

Jin stood behind Ulrich and Yumi and noticed how defenseless Aelita was at this given moment and that two blocks decided to take advantage of that opening. Thinking on his feet, Jin rushed over to her and grabbed both of her arms and pulled her in close.

"May I have this dance my lady?" Jin said as he dipped the girl low allowing a laser to pass over her. Another laser came his way and Jin held Aelita close to him and spun her out of his path, he then extended his arm and whipped Aelita away from him, still holding on to her with his arm and had the third shot miss her body by just inches.

Aelita couldn't help be feel a little overjoyed as she was being twirled, and spined by Jin. This was certainly an activity she was not familiar with.

"Jin what is this that we are doing together?" Aelita asked curious about the activity she was partaking in.

Despite the lighthearted nature of the activity, Jin did not look all too happy. He stared at the two blocks and anticipated their next moves so he could react accordingly. Without even turning his head to face Aelita, he answered her question.

"It's called ballroom dancing Aelita."

"WHY ARE YOU BALLROOM DANCING WITH AELITA JIN? THIS IS LYOKO, NOT THE DANCE FLOOR!" Jeremie screamed at the computer wondering why he wasn't taking the fight he was in so seriously.

"Chill out Jeremie, if you haven't noticed, this is the only way I can keep Aelita safe. She hasn't been hit once by those two blocks and I intended to keep that record going."

Jeremie knew that Jin could not keep that vigorous pace up for long and eventually he will mess up leaving Aelita alone to fend for herself. The five blocks that they were fighting proved to be too much for the group to handle.

"Ok everyone, we're going to have to make a tactical retreat."Jeremie said trying to minimize the damage that his friends took.

"That's great idea. But where?" Ulrich asked still deflecting the lasers that were coming his way.

"There's a bunch of rocks nearby, maybe you could lose them there."

The blocks stopped their firing for a moment to regroup.

"Ok, Aelita, go with Yumi and Jin to the area that Jeremie suggested. I'll stay here and hold off the blocks for you guys."

"Ulrich are you CRAZY?" Jin yelled at his friend. "You're outnumbered five to one!"

"Not for long." Ulrich jumped into the air and activated his power. "TRIPLICATE!" Soon enough he landed on the floor along with two more Ulrich clones by his side. "Now it's five on three, I like those odds. NOW GET GOING!" Ulrich barked.

Yumi, Jin and Aelita complied and ran towards the rock field leaving Ulrich behind to take one for the team.

"Now that's a power!"Jin said before he joined up with his sister.

Before Ulrich's strike team could seize the momentum in the fight, two blocks opened fired at his clones and eliminated them thus making Ulrich their sole opponent.

"Not good" Ulrich said to himself as he raised his sword in the air.

---

"YEAH!" Odd screamed out as he threw his skateboard onto the sewer floor before he road it to the factory. He peddled himself as fast as he could, ignoring all pleas from his body to slow down. It was his fault that he was running late to the battle and now he was pushing himself to his physical limit to make up for lost time. Odd saw the gap in the sewer quickly approaching, he leapt in the air and performed a kickflip with his skateboard before landing.

"I wonder how Ulrich and the others are doing?" Odd pondered keeping his eye on the ladder that was drawing closer to him.

---

"IMPACT!" Ulrich stabbed his sword deep into the XANA symbol and thus spelling the end of the block that fell victim to the attack. Things were looking grim for him. He was a few lifepoints down and all alone in his fight against the four remaining blocks. Ulrich knew that if he continued fighting this way, it was only a matter of time before he would be eliminated, so he decided to take evasive action.

Ulrich turned his back to the blocks and ran towards the rock field where Yumi, Jin and Aelita were. The blocks were dead set on killing him and quickly followed closely behind which is what Ulrich wanted from the beginning. Ulrich leapt high into the air and allowed a block to pass right underneath him before landing on top of it.

"IMPACT" Ulrich yelled out once more, plunging his sword into the block's eye creating a slight electrical build up in it's wound. Ulrich jumped off the block to escape being caught up in the explosion and hit the ground running. He didn't see the block closest to him fire a peculiar looking projectile in his direction and even less prepared for the results of it.

The icy blue beam struck Ulrich in the back and instantly immobilized him. He tried his best to move his body but was still standing there motionless. He suddenly felt his body get colder as ice began to creep down his torso and spread to his arms. He struggled to break free from his frozen prison but his efforts were in vain. Seeing how the end was near Ulrich stopped moving and admitted defeat.

"Sorry guys." He said as the ice moved up to his neck and extinguished his remaining lifepoints.

---

"Aelita come on we have to keep running!" Yumi called out to the pink haired girl who was trailing behind. She then watched in horror as she tripped over a small rock and fell to the floor. Yumi dashed over to her side while Jin's eyes wandered across the field to see if they were being followed.

"Aelita, you have to get up or else those blocks will catch up to us!" Yumi pleaded with the girl as she helped her to her feet.

Jin stared dead ahead and did not like the sight that was before him.

"TOO LATE SIS, THE BLOCKS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Aelita quickly got up and took cover behind a nearby rock and saw the blocks walk down the field in a triangle formation. One block took the lead while the remain two walked behind him parallel to one another.

"Looks like there's no use running anymore Aniki. We're going to have to fight them."

"Now you're talking, sis!"

Yumi quickly thought of a strategy to use to overcome the enemies. "Ok Jin, don't engage the enemy until I make the necessary arrangements." Yumi placed her hands to her temples and began to concentrate forming a red aura around her body. "TELEKINESIS!"

Jin turned around an saw one of the giant slabs of rock become engulfed in a similar red aura that was around his sister. She slowly moved it to the middle of the battlefield and waited for the blocks to get in range. Jin watched her struggle as she tried her best to keep the heavy object suspended in the air. When the blocks got close enough, Yumi dropped the rock causing it to crash to the Earth and land on the unsuspecting target.

"NOW!"

Jin and Yumi dove behind the rock and stood side by side and prepared to attack. Jin was the first to spin out from his cover but quickly retreated back to his hiding spot as a barrage of lasers came his way however, his sister was not so lucky. Jin heard his sister grunt a few times before falling over by his side with her eyes closed. As he watched her body slowly fade away, Jin realized that once again, he was in Lyoko by himself.

---

Yumi hobbled to the computer room to join Ulrich and Jeremie.

"How are things looking down there."

"Well thank's to Jin's ballroom dancing abilities, both he and Aelita still have one-hundred lifepoints which is a good thing because he's going to need all the health he could get if he's going to defeat those blocks." Jeremie replied right before the elevator doors opened once more.

"ODD!" The tree friends called out his name in unison.

"Good to see you too." Odd glanced around the room and noticed that both Yumi and Ulrich were with Jeremie. "Let me guess, Jin is in Lyoko by himself again huh?"

The remaining occupants of the room nodded their heads in agreement.

---

"Just great" Jin said to himself. "You're second day in Lyoko and already you're fighting these monsters by yourself."

"Jin!" Jeremie called out trying to get his attention. "Odd has arrived and will be there shortly. In the meantime, you have to take out those blocks yourself. I know you're not supposed to be doing that sort of thing, but we have no choice. Find your own way with dealing with them!"

Jin pressed his back against the rock and began to formulate his own strategy. Jeremie was right, all this time he had been running away from these things and it was about time he fought back. It was now or never. He was either going to show the rest of the group that he was indeed worthy of his position in their inner circle or die trying. His brow creased as he left fingers began to massage the tiny bones in his right knuckles. Without wasting anymore time,Jin jumped out of his hiding place and began to focus on his targets.

"Oh no, Jin just cracked his knuckles, those blocks are in for it now!" Odd said from the factory.

"What is Aniki doing?" Yumi asked shocked to see her brother make such a reckless move.

Jeremie calmly sat in his seat and answered her question. "He's doing the best move possible."

"What?"

"Check for yourself"

Jeremie brought up the image that Jin's sunglasses were picking up. She watched the two blocks in the picture suddenly turn black and white along with the rest of the scenery as all the movement in the picture began to slow down to a crawl.

"Is there something wrong with the camera Jeremie?" Ulrich asked, looking at the strange picture.

"That's not the work of a camera Ulrich, that's Jin's power."

"WHAT?" The rest of the friends screamed out in shock.

"Jin's sunglasses take pictures of things not like how regular camera's do. Instead this a visual feedback from Jin's optic nerves. In short you ARE looking through Jin's eyes."

"You mean this is exactly how Jin is watching the battle?" Odd asked confused.

"Yes"

"WHAT THE?" Odd pointed at the screen and saw another unusual sight. One top of the whole picture becoming black and white, he saw several little cross-hairs begin to appear all over the two block's body's. They were everywhere, on their bodies, their legs and especially, on the XANA symbol.

"What is he doing Jeremie?"Yumi asked in awe of the sight she was beholding.

"His best attack" Jeremie said with a smile.

---

Jin dove sideways and faced the blocks. His body was almost parallel to the ground as he continued his flight through the air. The blocks were unable to hit him since he was in such in an awkward position. Once Jin got enough cross-hairs on the blocks, he reached into his left shoulder with his right hand and his right waist with his left hand and drew out his weapons. A pair of silver 45. caliber pistorls were drawn from the holsters where they were stored in and were now aimed at the blocks. Jin steadied his aim before sayings the words to que his attack.

"Activate Lyoko power...BULLET BARRAGE!"

Jin's vision returned to normal as he repeatedly began to pull the trigger. Every area that had a cross-hair was instantly targeted as Jin began to unleash a deadly cloud of bullets at the two blocks. His enemies didn't stand a chance as all the bullets met their marks dead on. The monsters staggered back with every hit as they were unable to launch a counter attack after such a vicious assault but were still standing. Jin them dove behind another rock and pressed his back to it.

---

"NO WAY!" Odd said with his jaw hanging open. In the short period of time it took for Jin just to dive out of the way, he was able to fire off twenty rounds from his guns. It was an insane sight indeed.

Jeremie checked the holomap and still saw two red icons standing in front of Jin.

"What gives Jeremie?" Ulrich asked. Still in shock after witnessing Jin's attack. "Jin just unloaded a bunch of bullets into XANA's monsters yet they're still alive."

"I knew this was going to happen."

"Huh?" Odd asked still confused.

"Remember when you said that we had to make sacrifices to Jin's character?"

"Yeah"

"Well this is one of them. Jin's character was specifically designed to be a support class for all of you while you were on Lyoko. Those handguns that he's using are not meant for one-on-one combat against XANA's monsters since the damage they do is so weak."

"Wait, Jin's guns are weaker than my Laser Arrows?"

"Yes they are, but that was intentional."

"I don't get it Jeremie, who would Jin intentionally give his character a weak weapon?" Ulrich asked confused by the older boy's logic.

"Jin's pistols have really good range and a rate of fire, not to mention he has a total of forty shots. Because of these aspects, Jin's guns are naturally weak, but the weapon's intention is not for combat, but for distraction."

"Huh?"Odd asked wondering about the weapon's purpose in Lyoko if they weren't meant for direct combat.

"Did you see what happened to the block when Jin kept shooting it?"

"Yeah, it kept getting knocking back."

"Exactly! No matter where Jin's bullets hit, they're going to cause the monsters to stagger a bit. Like I said before, Jin's character is a support character. His duty is to fire endless rounds into XANA's monsters disrupting their attacks and knocking them senseless."

"Oh I get it!" Yumi proclaimed while snapping her fingers. "Then we come up and finish the monsters off ourselves without worry of being hurt."

"Correct Yumi so Jin can't fight on the front lines a lot. He has to hit the XANA symbol on a monster twice before he's able to destroy."

"So that's why you said Jin has to use a new fighting style." Odd said more informed than before. "Because he has a different character role in Lyoko! That's the real purpose of his power, to fire at a bunch of enemies at once to give us time to close in on them!"

"That's right, also another reason why we made his guns so weak was so that we had enough space left on his character to make room for his second feature."

"Second feature?" Ulrich asked confused.

"We'll talk about it later." Odd said running to the elevator. "If Jin's character isn't meant to fight on his own, I better get to Lyoko and fight with him. Wish me luck."

Odd road the elevator down and stepped into the scanners.

"Transfer Odd" Jeremie spoke into the speakers once again.

"Scanner Odd" Odd's character was then loaded into Lyoko.

"Virtualization!"

---

Jin ejected the spent magazines from his guns and loaded in his last two clips before taking any further action. Both of the blocks were still alive and they both needed just one more shot before he could send them to kingdom come. Jin turned around the corner and opened fired at the pair of enemies. He fired several shots into the and watched one of the blocks blow up. The reaming survivor then shot another laser which struck Jin in the chest before he took cover behind the rock once more. Jin's chest was on fire as he panted to catch his breath. This was the first time he was ever hit in Lyoko and he was already not liking the feeling he was experiencing. Slowly the pain subsided leaving behind a numb feeling where he was hit.

"The block is expecting me to attack from the sides again. Let's give him a little surprise and take this fight somewhere else." Jin said to himself as he began to climb the rock he was standing behind. He reached the peak of it and looked down at his target.

"The last place the block in waiting for me...IS UP!" Jin screamed out and he jumped at the block and extended his foot. Jin delivered a power flying kick at his opponent, knocking the machine backwards. He then threw out another vicious boot to the creature and almost knocked it back off its legs staggering it backwards once more. Jin captalized on the newly created gap he formed and place his gun point blank into the XANA symbol right before he pulled the trigger at point-blank range. The block's explosion knocked Jin down putting him in a slight daze.

"Good work Jin" Jeremie congratulated him from the factory.

"No problem" Jin said as he spun the guns around his fingers in celebration.

---

Odd used his cat-like agility to run across the rocks as if they were rooftops. He was making good time in rushing to Jin and Aelita's aid until he noticed a large metal ball roll right past him.

"OH NO!" Odd exclaimed to himself as he picked up the pace.

"Jin I hate to cut your celebration short but you have a Mega Tank coming your way!"

---

"A Mega Tank!" Jin repeated as he felt his temper flare up once more. He vividly remembered a Mega Tank killing his sister last time he was in Lyoko and he wanted retribution.

"Aelita, run to the tower, this bastard is mine!" Jin yelled out as he prepared for its entrance. Once the tank was in sight, Jin drew his guns once more and began to unleash a hailstorm of bullets at the tank too busy concentrating on his personal vendetta to care about how little damage he was actually causing. The bullets bounced off the tank's iron hide and was still rolling at Jin as if it wasn't even acknowledging his presence. Jin saw how dangerously close the tank was getting towards him and jumped out of the way but was too slow. Jin's chin struck against the tank's massive body and was quickly knocked unconscious as he laid on the floor not knowing what hit him

---

Odd saw the whole thing before his eyes. Jin was tossed aside like a rag doll as the tank collided into his body as if he was nothing. There was nothing he could do for Jin right now, he had to save Aelita.

---

"CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!" Richard was beside himself with stress as he watched the trains get closer and closer. Thank God the police already evacuated the area or else he would have been remembered as a murder along with being a slipshod technician.

"Two minutes till impact!" Richard screamed to himself.

---

Aelita ran as fast as her legs could carry her but the Mega Tank was gaining ground on her fast. Seeing no what out, Aelita looked at the tank. Jeremie watched the Aelita's character card pair up against the Mega Tank.

"Aelita what are you doing, you can't fight that thing by yourself!" Jeremie yelled, but his friend had already made up her mind.

Aelita knelt on the ground and began to sing to the heavens. The tank continued on its path until a massive shockwave split the earth that it was treading on causing it to veer off course and crash into a random assortment of rocks.

"That's the spirit Aelita!" Jeremie said joyfully. In the background she could also hear Ulrich and Yumi cheering impressed with her cleverness. Aelita quickly ran into the tower with out a care in the world. However, there was one fact that everyone overlooked...

The tank was still in one piece.

The Mega Tank charged up its energy cannon and aimed it directly at Aelita. At that moment it seemed that all was lost.

And that's when Odd came to save the day.

Odd quickly dove in front of Aelita and absorbed the deadly energy wave for her and was knocked back a couple of feet away from the tower. The tank's weak point was still open and Odd took advantage of it by firing a laser arrow right in its center.

"And that was for Jin!" He yelled at the tank before it blew up.

The scene was all to familiar for the girl. The inside of the tower was abundant with activity but there was not time to be impressed with that right now. She had a job to do. Brining up the computer screen she imputed a familiar code.

---

AELITA

---

Jeremie once again brought up the news on his computer and saw both of the trains drawing ever closer on top of one of the cities bridges. He held his breath and hoped that Aelita was not too late

---

CODE

---

Richard banged his head against his desk as he watched the news and the trains coming together. He hated himself for what happened. If only he was more alert, if only he didn't slack off so much, if only he found the answer. Then none of this would happen. Richard closed his eyes and prepared himself for the public backlash he was about to receive.

---

LYOKO

---

"Return to the past now!" Jeremie screamed out as he hit the return key on his keyboard setting back the clock on the day's events.

"You are the fairest one of them all?" Yumi said slightly appalled by the cheesiness of Ulrich's message for Sissy. She along with her brother were now hiding in the bushes watching Ulrich's prank follow through.

"Hey it was the best I could think of." Ulrich said in his defense as he spotted Sissy make her way to the shed. "Ok everyone get down now" He whispered as everyone got into a comfortable position.

"Alone at last Ulrich I've been waiting for this moment." Once again Sissy found herself on the floor but this time she was pinned down by a human body.

"Oh I've always known you loved me after all these years of being my friend!" An individual with glasses said."

"HERB!" Sissy said just as disgusted as the last time they pulled this prank off. She was too busy trying to stand up to notice the flash that was coming from the bushes. "What on Earth are you doing here?"

"I got you're message, meet me in the garden shed" Herb said in his defense.

Now Sissy wasangry. She was expecting Ulrich, not the smater member of her group of friends.

"Just wait till my father finds out about this!" Sissy said as she stomped away from the confused boy.

Yumi held the instant photograph that she took when Herb was on top of Sissy and began to laugh out loud. "Looks like we've just witnessed the beginning and end of a beautiful relationship."

Odd took the picture out of Yumi's hand and began to look at it closely. "Don't worry about that Yumi. We've just documented the event and once Milly and Tamiya print this in the school paper everyone around campus will find out eventually."

"Oh these sort of things make me so sad."Jin said as he faked being sad. "I always cry when couples break up. Even screwed up ones like Sissy and Herb I just hope a certain two people I know won't go down the same path."

"And who would that be." Ulrich asked totally obvious to the reference Jin was making.

"Geez I wonder too" Odd said sarcastically as he wrapped both of his arms around Ulrich and Yumi's shoulders. Causing both of their cheeks to redden.

"CUT IT OUT ODD!" Yumi and Ulrich said loudly causing the boy to take a couple of steps back.

"What? Was it something I said?"

Wishful Thinking.

OK in case you were wondering, this is the segment where I talk to you guys about the outside development of this fic and to answer any questions. First off, our very own Trillinka has submitted some very cool Dirk and Clayton fanart to me. As long as I keep writing, I'm free to destitute them to the fans so just e-mail me a request for them and please extend your thanks to Trillinka, she's obviously worked pretty damn hard on the pictures. Also, I was able to find another artist on the Code Lyoko message board. His name is Daniel and he says that he would be honored in helping me out. Let's all cross our fingers and hope that this will be the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Ok Viciousassassin has asked me if there are any episodes that I'm looking forward to write, so I'll use the remaining space here to answer that question.

When I write my stories, there aren't specific episodes that I look forward to writing but more of specific scenes. Here are the scenes that I enjoyed the most writing.

Episode 1: Teddygodzilla

1. Jin's Introduction: Jin needed to be introduced correctly and I did not want him to be a faceless generic character
2. The Magical Activated Tower of Oz: I really had fun writing that line
3. Jin Saving Sissy: Jin really needed a moment for him to shine in the episode so the fans would have something to latch on to and so that he could prove his worth to the group.

Episode 1.5: Deja Vu's Recruit

1. Dirk Brooding in His Room: This was the magic scene that totally transformed Dirk's character from know-nothing bully to refined evil genius. Every time I write a scene for Dirk, I enjoy it immensely.
2. Jin in the Factory: There were so many moments I liked here. The race, Jin meeting Aelita and of course the conversation about Taoism. I was trying not to make that discussion seem too much like a lecture.
3. THE FIGHT: Ah man did I love writing fights. I've choreographed a few myself and I'll tell you it's really hard to write a good fight scene in a fanfic.

Episode 2: Seeing is Believing

1. Odd and Yumi Playing Rock, Paper, Scissors: I just liked how cute that scene turned out. It was pretty fun to write
2. The Brussel's Sprout Argument: I thought that was a funny conversation that Jeremie and Ulrich would have.
3. The "Play by Play": This scene really just showed how goofy and arrogant Jin could really be.
4. Jin Talking to the Fireman: I loved that little line he says, "If I did make this up, I would have made twenty-six episodes of the stuff and sold it to an animation company to make a cartoon series" That's one of my favorite Jin quotes.

Episode 3: Holiday in the Fog

1. The Bunny Ears: That was a little running joke I had going on in the episode to give Jim some comic relief.
2. Sissy and Herb: On of the many scenes I wrote to give more moments when Sissy shows some real compassion and heart
3. Jim and Sissy: Once again I used this scene to make Jim and Sissy seam more human and to beef up their character development.
4. Jin in the School: This moment shows how Jin's problems have yet to be solved at that his never-say-die attitude is not always a good thing as he almost died in that scene.

Episode 4: Logbook

1. Brooding Dirk (Continued): This scene allowed the reader to go inside Dirk's head and see what makes him tick. When writing this I wanted you to get a glimpse of Dirk's unique thought pattern.
2. The Rooftop Battle: Another great fight scene that I could see happening in Code Lyoko
3. Dirk's Dropkick: Not only did this scene look badass, but it showed that even Dirk was capable of performing some good.
4. The Elevator: Even though Jin is the older brother, there are moments where Yumi shows more strength than him and I wanted to show that here.

Episode 5: Big Bug

1. The Tree Entrance: That was one of the first scenes that I first thought of. Since Jin likes to show up at random places without warning. Why not have him drop in on a conversation, literally.
2. Voice Synchronisation: Again another attempt for me in inject humor in the story.
3. Jim Walking Kiwi: Again more humor in the story
4. Jin's Guns: This is anther scene where Jin shines thus ending the question of what his weapons are in Lyoko. Not too mention making him an official warrior in Lyoko.

Finally, I was thinking about housing my fic on a website so that I could post the pictures up andhave more people see it but I don't know if I could ever accomplish that, I'm having a hard enough time writing the fic but hey, that's why I call this segment wishful thinking.

Before I came up with Jin's character, I was thinking about all the weapons and powers he could use. Here's the real list, the phony ones are in the outtakes section.

Alternate List of Rejected Weapons for Jin in Lyoko

1. Two Tonfas
2. A Bo Staff
3. A Sickle (Think Grim Reaper)
4. Two Kama's
5. Two Nunchakus
6. His Fists and Feet
7. A Flail
8. No weapon but Would Shoot Fireballs Constantly
9. A LOT of Throwing Knives
10. A Deck of Playing Cards

Alternate List of Rejected Powers for Jin in Lyoko

1. Pyrokinesis (The ability to control fire)
2. The Ability to Shoot Fireballs
3. Healing
4. Levitation
5. No Power but instead carries a lot of gernades

Outtakes:

Now before I begin, let me just say that I'm surprised by the overwhelming support I'm getting with this thing so I'll try something new. To increase audience participation and to get you the reader better involved, I'm going to let the audience SUBMIT THEIR OWN RETELLING OUTTAKES. You heard me clearly. You submit the outtake and I'll post them in my next chapter and I'll be sure to credit you of course. But first here a few rules.

1. All outtakes must be submitted by e-mail
2. Please give a clear indication what episode your outtake comes from and what the original scene that you're parodying is.
3. KEEP IT CLEAN! I'm a liberal guy and I know I slightly curse in my fic but I don't want any nasty jokes coming my way. I'd really hate to bump my fic's rating up to R just because of a few outtakes that a random fan submitted. Now onto the main event.

---

"Well I'm uploading to all the major websites out there now. It's basically a warning program that rates all unnatural disasters on a scale of one to ten. Whenever a disaster ranks higher than a five then the programs informs me of it. It's the best way for us to spot a potential XANA attack."

"Nice lie Jeremie, now what are you REALLY doing?" Jin asked seeing through Jeremie's fib.

Jeremie minimized his window and showed Jin that he was playing a video game all this time. All of a suddent the game's annoucner's voice came out the speakers.

"COUNTER TERRORIST WIN!"

"And I thought he was the smart one." Jin said under his breath.

---

"I know I'm good with computers, but I can't work miricles.

Suddenly Aelita apperared on Jeremie's compute screen.

"Wow Jeremie, You've turned all the water in Lyoko into wine!'

Jermei was caught red-handed. "I...uh...mmm..gotta go!"

School Bench Scene Take 1

An frustrated looking Yumi accompanied by Jeremie approached the bench and started Ulrich in the eye.

"The both of us have been trying to contact you for the past five minutes! XANA has launched another attack! We need to get to Lyoko now!"

"What is he up to now?"

"He's having two trains carrying toxic chemicals are going to crash into each other!"

"Well if this involves the environment maybe going into Lyoko isn't enough. We'll have to use the special plan."

"Oh no you don't mean.."

"Yep"

"Ok guys get ready."

The rest of the group all removed rings from their pockets . Yumi was the first to speak and began the process holding her green ring to the sky.

"LET OUR POWERS COMBINE! EARTH!" A green beam shot out of her ring.
"FIRE!" Jin yelled out shooting for a red laser.

"WIND!" Jeremie called out.

"WATER!"Ulrich soon followed.

"HEART!...Ah man, why do I have to get heart? Heart sucks."

All five to the beams met in the air and formed a super powered man with blue skin.

"BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED I AM CAPTAIN PLANET!"

---

School Bench Scene Take 2

A frustrated looking Yumi approached the bench and started Ulrich in the eye.

"The both of us have been trying to contact you for the past five minutes! XANA has launched another attack! Jin and I will stop the train, you two head to Lyoko.

"How will you do that?" Ulrich asked.

"I thought you never asked." Both Yumi and Jin removed an identicle set of rings and joined them together.

"WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE"

"Form of, Anti-Virus software !" Yumi was transformed into a walking computer disk.

"Form of, a really big stick!" Jin yelled as he was turned into a stick.

"A really big stick Aniki?"

"But I always wanted to transform into a stick!" Jin winned.

"Fine, you can be the stick!"

"YAY!"

School Bench Scene Take 3

An frustrated looking Yumi approached the bench and started Ulrich in the eye.
"The both of us have been trying to contact you for the past five minutes! XANA has launched another attack!"

Jin looked over at his sister. "Hey Yumi, lets solve this our special way."

"Ok Aniki, ready guys?"

All five of the friends reached behind their backs and each pulled out a strange large coin.

"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"

"Alone at last Ulrich. I've been waiting for this moment" Sissy said as she opened the door to the garden shed. All of a sudden, she was being squeezed and lifted up in the air by a very large man. Sissy opened her eyes so she could identify who was hugging her.

"JIM?" She said out of astonishment. "YOU'RE MY SECRET ADMIRER?"

Jim looked equally as surprised. "Wait, You're not Marie!"

"Huh?"

"She was my mail order bride that I ordered. Being a P.E. teacher in a boarding school is very lonely so I ordered her. I must have got the wrong message. But if you're here, where's Marie."

Suddenly Sissy heard Herb's excited voice in the distance.

"HOT DAMN BABY! WHO NEEDS SISSY?"

"Lucky bastard" Jim muttered underneath his breath.

Words on the Chapter

I don't have much to say except that this was a pretty short chapter. I didn't have a lot to work with in this episode. I hope you liked all the humor I put into the story, just me trying a little something different. Ok please don't flame me about making Jin a gunner saying that I bit off the Matrix. Look I was dead set on having Jin use two guns since I thinkg that would be a cool Lyoko weapon. Plus he's not a straight gunner since he's pistols do no damage. Incase you were wondering, I got Jin's power from the video game Red Dead Revolver, the main character uses a power similar to Jin's and I thought it was a lot more creative than just giving him Bullet Time since that idead has been done to death. Also, with all the fight scenes I wrote inside and outside Lyoko, I've added Action/Adventure to the secondary genre list. It's not much but it's something. Hope you have fun reading. Thanks again.
