It had started out as a relatively nice day. It didn't end that way though. By noon, dark storm clouds had covered the sky, plunging the entire campus into darkness. Winds had started to pick up at an incredible rate and papers were now flying. By 1:00, thunder cracked above, and it started to rain. That was just the start ...

"Jim, go around, make sure no one is outside, and find then Yumi. There is no way she'll be able to go home in this weather. Put her in the guest room in the dorm and contact her parents. Go through all the dorms, make sure everyone is there"
"Yes, headmaster, anything else ?"
"If you can, I want to you to check for leaks in the basements and the windows. The new Plex-glass we installed a few weeks ago should hold against this weather but we never had a storm this bad in all the years I've been here"
"I'll do it right away"
Jim nodded at the headmaster, turned around, and ran out the office, and into the now deserted building. Thunder rumbled outside and Jim could feel the vibration that the storm was causing. He looked out the window into the almost pitch black field. He cups his hands around the windows and peered out. Flashes of lighting emulated the sky, and between each one, he could see branches now laying in the muddy field. He saw the wind literary toss an unchained bike across the field where it then collided with the bleachers. Knowing that is was still going to get worse, Jim broke away from the window, pulled his rain jacket over him, and ran into the horrible weather.

"Tropical Storm Alexandria has been upgraded to Hurricane Alexandria, with winds exceeding speeds of 70 MPH. It seems nothing can survive in this whirlwind of destruction. Scattered reports say over half of France has lost power, and thousands of people are now left homeless. The storms seems to be unstoppable, for it's traveling hundreds of miles inland, and yet it seems to keep growing in power. Meteorologists at the Channel 4 News Desk believe due to Moon's closeness to Earth at this time, it is pull the storm inward, and with this steady pull, it is causing the storm to move inward, and the high humidly is acting like a fuel cell for this nightmare."
A moment of silence and then...
"This just in, Due to the storm, they are unable to start evacuation procedures. They recommend that people board up their windows, gather all the supplies that they can, and then bather down through the storm. They recommend that people go to their basements and cut all power to protect any electrical devices in their homes. It is recommended that if you own a portable radio that you turn off your TV and tune to 510AM for more reports on Alexandria"
Odd raised the remote and clicked off the TV. The sound of the wind blasting though the cracks of the aging dorm made an eerie whistle. Somewhere in the distance, of sirens was going off. He had listened to the same report over and over on dozens of different stations. At first, he thought that this might be a X.A.N.A attack, due to the fact that the storm was growing in power, even though it was over land. However, a search revealed no active towers, or monsters, or anything that suggested that this was connected to him in anyway. He wished that X.A.N.A had something to do with this so he could go to Lyoko and blast something.
Odd got up and started pacing around, when Yumi walking into the Lounge and crashed onto the couch.
"Yumi, what are you still doing here ?"
"The headmaster said that they did want me traveling in this weather so I'm staying here tonight"
Giving his usual laugh, Odd smiled and sat in one of the chairs that littered the room. It had been a long time since either of them had just sat down and watched the world go by. An uncomfortable silence filled the room, only being broken the wind and the thunder outside. Odd relaxed and stretched back in his chair, and listened to the sounds of the storm. Yumi turned to look at Odd, and started speaking.
"You know, I'm surprised this isn't some sorta XANA attack considering how powerful this storm is and the amount of damage it's caused"
"You aren't the only one. I thought I had misheard Jeremie when he said that no towers in Lyoko had been activated."
A massive strike of lighting shoot outside, and the lights flickered out for a moment before restoring to their normal level. A ear spiting strike of thunder causing everything to shake.
"The storm is getting worse. If one of those bolt's hit the school ..."
"You don't need to tell me twice, lets go see Einstein and make sure he's shutdown everything"
With that Yumi and Odd took off from the lounge and headed for Jeremie's room.
