I woke up to both my phone ringing, Ulrich's phone ringing, and someone pounding on the door. "Aah! It's to early." I moaned, but grabbed my phone anyway. I stood up and opened the door. Jeremy was standing there.

"XANA attack, let's go." He hung up and Ulrich's phone stopped ringing. We both looked at mine and I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked carefully. I'd seen XANA use cell phone to Xanify people (when he took control of them).

"Oh thank goodness. You finally answered!" My mouth fell open as I realized it was Coda.

"Coda? What are you...why are you calling? How are you calling?" I asked her.

"Activated my own tower. Anyway, XANA's activated a tower." She said.

"I know." I moved over to Ulrich's bed and shook him awake.

"Talk as we go." Jeremy said. I nodded.

"You do? Right, Jeremy's detection system. It's in the Forest Sector." She added.

"And where are you?" I closed the door behind me and took off running. Jeremy was close behind me with Ulrich just ahead. We stopped at Willaim's and they got him up.

"My Sector." She answered just as William opened the door. "Just about to the go to the Forest Sector." Coda added.

"Alright. Be careful. We should be there soon." I said.

"Okay. Hurry up, Odd. XANA's at the tower and I won't be able to do a thing on my own." She answered.

"Got it." I hung up the phone and we all took off. "Tower's in the Forest Sector and Coda's just about to leave Sector 6." I filled them in.

"Okay. Hurrying up." Ulrich pulled out his phone to call Yumi while Jeremy did the same for Aelita. I slipped past them and burst through the door. I almost paused at the sight, but ran faster. I jumped over the steadily climbing black wall surrounding the school.

"Go, Odd. Aelita and Yumi will be able to meet you in the factory." William and Ulrich had both attempted to get over the black wall, but it was to high. Jeremy hadn't bothered, just gave me instructions.

"Okay. Try and find a way out." I said before I took off running. I reached the woods with no issues and glanced back as I opened the sewer lid. There was a full black dome covering the school.

"Odd, where are the others?" Aelita ran up to me.

"Stuck inside. Let's hurry up and deactivate that tower." I offered for her to go first. Aelita climbed down fast and I followed. She grabbed her scooter and I grabbed my skateboard. We raced through the sewers, me in the lead.

We reached the factory in no time and I led the way up the ladder. Yumi was across the street from the bridge and ran up to us. "Where's the others?" She asked.

"Stuck at school. XANA's surrounded it with a giant black dome." I explained. I looked around. "Kinda like that one." I pointed ahead. There was a black dome started to surround the factory. We were on the outside of it unfortunately.

"Then let's hurry up." Yumi replied. I nodded and led the way into the factory. We jumped over the black dome, me helping Aelita over, dropped down to the lower floor, and bolted to the elevator. Aelita hit the button to send us down. We stopped at the Supercomputer and Aelita ran over. She quickly typed something and ran back over to us.

"Let's go, I've started the delayed Virtualization." She said as Yumi hit the Elevator button. We all bolted into our separate scanners. I was only waiting for a minute when the scanner lit up around me and the Virtualization process started.
