Arti shouted to the sky, "Good to know! And make sure you send those other two in quick!" Arti then looked at Codely, and threw his hat at him, surprised to see it was actually spinning a ready to cut through. (I suggest letting thunder have some time in Lyoko right before we return to the past.)

Turning around with frusteration, then surprise, Arti saw the megatank open and begin charging. Knowing it was probably going to shoot something, Arti immediatly jumped to the right. However, he stil;l got hit in the leg by the blast, likely reduced his life poin by half. "Jeez! This is crazy!" Yelled arti as he got up, "Take this then!" he then yelled, as he threw his spear like sword right at the megatank, only to have it bounce of it's shell. "Thanks! Find a way to get that Metal ball thing he called a megatank or those giant spiders! I think this Dex other guy with us wants into the tower to stop this somehow, so we better hurry!"

"Balls!" Said Arti, knowing he had to move now, "I'm going in!" He quickly dashed around the left side of the tree, and charged right at Codely, hoping to catch him somewhat off guard and get a good hit with his new Spear-like sword. Though he hadn't used it before, it felt natural, so he was capable of doing some damage if he succeeded.

Arti watched in amazement as Dex fired the ball of energy. Realizing that that guy looked like someone dropped into the virtual world like himself. If his power is effective, then Arti's must be as well. "Alright guys on the computer! Get Down here quick! I can help distract the monsters and other guy, but It would be easier with help!" (So I suggest sending in Rush, and one or both of Thunder's brother characters.)

"Is that another voice?" Asked Arti, as he took another right, "well if he can help, tell him some tube things down one floor can send him here, that's what happened to me." Arti then stop and slid behind a tree suddenly, as he saw Codely, Dex, and two Tarantulas having it out infront of the tower not too far from him. "On another note, I found the tower thing-y. Tell that guy if he can help, go right ahead. Otherwise, Minx and drunkard guy, try not to let the crazy fire hands lady get to you up there!" Arti then began to think out his next move behind the tree, hoping the monsters didn't see him.

Arti continued on his way in the virtual world of Lyoko. He was pretty sure he was close, as he saw a grey pillar this glowing in read, that likely fit the description of "tower". It was then he heard minx's voice from the sky "through the monitor". He stopped and looked up. "Minx, is that you? What are things like up there?!" asked Arti, before he continued forward, hoping to figure out how to stop the chaos that was happening. @Pixelate @Suitaloo

"I'm arti." replied Arti to the sky, still getting used to talking to the sky like a Sim, "But I better get going!" As Arti ran through the forest, he found he could jump long distances to get across platforms. However, as he thought, an idea came to him. "Hey sky guy, on the computer, are there monsters or something that want to kill us? I think this weapon can help, but i'm not sure."

The scanner closed on Arti, and suddenly he found himself sent into some sort of electrical process. Everything then began to spin, and form a wormhole looking vortex. Suddenly, A world came into view, as everything appeared to load up in front of his eyes. He then fell to the ground, and looked around in some sort of forest. "Woa..." he said, as he looked at everything. He then noticed his own body. He was wearing a trenchcoat like his own, but under it was some sort of ro like clothing. The ropes under his trenchcoat were grey, as he wore rey gloves as well, and a tribly that looked to have a metal rip on it. On his back was a double side spear like sword, that was about as long as Arti was. He took it off his back and looked at it, realizing he could pull it into two slightly smaller swords, that could probably double as a projectile spear. "What is this place? What's going on?!" asked Arti aloud, unser of what was going on.

Arti looked around the circular room, but in a minute or so, it was clear that there was no first aid kit in this room. Next he checked the freight elevator too see if he missed anything. It was then he saw that here was another two floors below. "Hey, watch Minx! I'm checking the next floor!" As he went down, and the door opened to the next room, Arti stared curiously at the three scanners inside. As he stepped out of the elevator, he only saw more metal and wires everywhere but in the scanners. In a moment, he was then checking inside one, to see if perhaps they were for storage, which he doubted, but he was desperate. "What are these things anyway?" (We Depending on what would be better, we can or cannot have alphonse accidentally send Arti to Lyoko.)

"What the...? Oh, right!" Arti lifted Minx off of the freight elevator, "Did you see any medical supplies in here? Is there any way to contact help?" As he got closer, Arti awed at the holographic imaged in the middle of the room. He then looked closely at the monitor screen that Alphonse was at. It looked old, yet highly advanced. "Okay, can that thing get some communication outside... do you even know what it is?"

Arti nodded and Picked up Minx and made his way quickly around the outside of the group to the factory. He heard commotion continuing outside, but too his relieve, no one seemed to want to follow him. Once inside, he came to a ledge, looking down, he saw all sort of empty space, except the freight elevator that appeared to be making it's way back up from a prior trip. "If anywhere, it's down there, maybe there's somebody who can help too." Said Arti aloud. He quickly put minx over his should to climb down, and this was difficult, as the weight was little too much, and slowly sliding down was not easy. With a small stumble at the bottom, Arti quickly ran to the frieght elevator, set Minx down inside, and pressed the button, which to his relieve, closed the door. "Let's just hope this thing doesn't fall on us, eh Minx?" (So Suitaloo can show the part where he sees us come down if that's alright.)

Arti jump from the sewer as his phone was taken, and got ready to fight. He wasn't the best built, but he knew the basics. However, this would be much easier if he had his gun with him. All he had know was his fists and ability to berate. Suddenly remembering Minx, he ran up to make sure she would get hit again. "Vincent, I think she'll need medical attention!" He then looked at Codely and Katie, "Or we all will..."

"Pchchch!" Arti checked over to Alphonse and Katie, "I-I, uh, Jus stumbled down here and... saw that..." Arti began to think about whether or not he should run and get help or not at this point, but he wouldn't feel right leaving these people alone. He then realized he had his cell phone, so he pulled it out and began typing in 911, "Oh, what should I tell them?"

"Oh jeez!" Said Arti aloud, as he watched intently, ready to duck down if need be. "Fire, some sort of black demonic looking stuff?! I'm either really high, asleep, or this is the apocalypse..." Thought Arti, "Alright, think straight, need to wait for an opening, then try to wrestle that demon girl down."

Arti spent the next multiple minutes enjoying some more punch and trying to find someone else too talk to. However, after a while, he began to get bored, realizing this party was getting dull, and would probably end soon. As such, he headed for the door, put on his trench coat, and headed outside. Arti took up his suggestion from earlier, and before heading to his dorm, was wandering around campus, checking out all of the class buildings. After a while, he then got slightly curious about the factory that Minx and Vincent where heading too. "Maybe I could catch up with them..." thought Arti, "Then again, I don't feel like leaving the campus, at least not without my gun..." After a moment of thinking while walking through some of the trees in the general direction of some of the dorms, Arti suddenly fell down an open manhole. With a thud, he hit the concrete a few feet below, and cursed in response. "The one flipping hole in the whole park area!!!" After getting himself back up, Arti thought he heard a commotion down the sewer. He'd admit to himself he always wanted to see a sewer, but not i his nice clothes. "Well, I got my trench coat over em, I better see if somebody need help down there..." After a quick jog with only a slight limb, Arti found himself next to another ladder, and he heard some sort of shouting and... fire? He poked his head up, still wearing his Trilby, and saw Vincent and Minx directly infront of him. There appeared to be a standoff with a girl who had.. fire hands?! Great, the one time he goes out without his gun. Deciding he'd be no help to his new friends if he just jumped out, he figured he'd wait till he could quickly sneak up on the fire hand girl. Hopefully Vincent could handle it while he watched from the manhole.

As the discussion continued, Arti scoped the Room again, things where getting more quite now. "Perhaps I should think of something to make this more exciting... nah, I bet something will happen on it's own. After that mental though in his brain, because there are other organs you can think with, Arti thought of a proposition, "So, haveyou two checked out much of the Campus? May be late, but Things here seem kind of quiet at the moment." (This could lead to the factory, could not, whatever is best for the plot.)

"Yep, I believe that is right. Though it doesn't come from the same place as my last name... it's weird, I have a rather mixed up heredity pattern." Arti raised his eyebrow to this somewhat sudden question, "Well, no... why do you ask?" (Fun Fact, Arti's last name, Geheim, is according to translate,"Secret" in Dutch. I don't know if that is wholly accurate, but I decided to go with that as I really suck at names.)

Arti nodded and responded, "Yes actually, it's short for Artifex, Latin I think." Arti was slightly surprised by Minx squealing over them being in some of the same classes, but he took it lightly. "I guess so, I hope we get along in that case." "Huh, already found two people in similar classes as me."

Arti turned to Minx as she conversed with Vincent, "Hello, I'm Arti Geheim." "She seems to be upfront and casual as well, It also appears Vincent didn't expect so many people to be willing to talk to him." Deciding to answer Minx's question along with Vincent, Arti replied, "I'm In History, Business, and writing classes for the most part, though I haven't gotten over my schedule much yet."

"Military calls signs? Sounds like you've had it rough, but at least you seem pretty tough from it though." Arti then began thinking what'd it'd be like to have a father like that. He'd thought about military before, but you'd probably get over-disciplined if you were started from such a young age. Even though that could be useful, there are other things kids may want to try... Deciding to change the subject now, Arti then asked: "On another note, what are you taking here? I'm mostly in writing, business, and History courses." In background, Arti was planning on getting involved in politics, but not after owning a business at some point. Having Kadiac in you record would look good for the future. "This guy is interesting." thought Arti, "Though I wonder if anything much more exciting than that dancing guy will happen tonight... Nah!" (I've been thinking, should we have much involvement with teacher characters like the show did? Could be interesting, especially considering some of the... developments, in the story here. Though they wouldn't be too important when the brown stuff kits the air displacement machine and something happens, which i assume will be sometime tonight.)

Arti noticed how surprised Vincent seemed to see him. Truth be told, he could see why many others may not approach him so directly, being how well built and somewhat intimidating he looked. "More structured school environment eh? Perhaps he has some trouble with average academics... i'd blame the schools more though." thought Arti, before thinking up a reply. "So, You into many sports? You appear to be the king of guy that'd jump on that." Arti paused for a second, "You almost look military even." Hearing a bit of a ruckus, Arti looked for a few moments to the dance floor, seeing Thunder going all out into a dance. It was surprising, as he honestly did not expect there to be that much excitement in a dance this early into the year, most people would still be getting used to the crowd. The kid did have a good vibe going, though his electric style dancing was... unexpected, perhaps a teacher may intervene if he gett's too into it. Then again, this school may have a more laid back attitude than Arti previously thought. After giving a moments mind to the Dance floor, Arti turned back to Vincent, expecting a reply.

Arti Politely nodded his head and watched as Rush walked off to talk to the girl. He gave a sly grin seeing what Rush was up to, not bothering him a bit. He then continued further into the Dance hall to see who else he could meet. The next few moments where spent looking around and greeting various students, though Arti failed to get into any major conversations or joining up with anybody. After a bit, he then grabbed a cup of punch and made his way to the sidelines of the dance. With a look to the corner, he noticed a large guy sitting in one of the chairs, whom looked slightly bored. Figuring he ought to try and help other have a good time, Arti decided to grab another punch and walk up to to him. Arti walked up to Vincent (Again, not knowing his name). He almost looked like a young man, and as he got closer, he almost like military. This intrigued him, but he cleared his mind as he reached Vincent and held out the cup of punch. "Hello, I'm Arti, figured you looked quite bored so i got you a drink. What brings you to this school?"

As Arti hung his trench coat on the rack in the doorway, he took a look around the Dancefloor, seeing the crowd was just getting in. Figuring his dressy long sleeved shirt and tie along with his Trilby and CLASSY pants would work well enough for look well dressed yet somewhat casual, he decided to find someone to talk to in order to see what the crowd was like before trying to find people to join his political discussion group. Arti surveyed the room, seeing a variety of students. It was kind of overwhelming, so he looked around to see who was comming in that he could greet. Seeing Rush nearby (not knowing his name, of course), Arti figured he'd try to start a casual conversation. "He is REALLY casually dressed, but at least he doesn't look like a hipster. Besides, my old friends never wore anything dressy." After a quick mental thought,(because you can have thoughts that aren't mental), Arti made his way next to Rush and extended his hand to try and greet him. "Hello, I'm Arti, what brings you here?"
