Chapter 8: Crash Course “So… they’ve figured out the virtualization process.” X.A.N.A. narrowed his eyes as he looked down at Aelita and Odd from his view on a tree branch. This… was something he had hoped would’ve taken Jeremy longer to figure out. Now Aelita isn’t alone anymore… This certainly complicates things. A growl escaped his throat. No matter. I can easily correct this. Besides… it might just be the thing to lure him out. X.A.N.A. vanished in a puff of smoke, heading towards a tower. Besides… I like a good game. oooooo “And then here we are.” Ulrich rubbed the back of his neck as he finished retelling his and Odd’s story. “It’s certainly been a crazy night.” “No kidding.” Jeremy brought his bandaged hand to his chin. “But to think you both got messages from Franz Hopper himself.” “Well, we know he’s alive. That’s cool.” Patrick commented. “Though I wonder why he wanted them here.” “That is the million dollar question… I wonder if the encrypted message I got

Chapter 7: Virtualization “Okay… I think I have it figured out.” Jeremy brought his bandaged hand to his chin. “Just hard to know without testing. Patrick looked at the programming on the screen and back to his cousin, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t understand a lick of it but this is supposedly how we go to Lyoko?” Jeremy nodded. “It was the instructions I found on the USB but… I don’t know… again, I would need to test it.” Jeremy’s eyes wandered over to the monitor with Aelita, the girl currently looking over the data as well. “Maybe we could send an object?” “That would be a good safe way to test it.” Aelita looked up from the data. “Preferably something organic to make sure it’s safe for humans.” “I might have something then.” Patrick dug into his jacket pocket, pulling out an apple. “Would this work?” “... How long has that been in your pocket?” Jeremy asked. “Just a few hours.” Patrick chuckled. “I grabbed one before I came to get you. I like having a snack on

Chapter 6: Assistance Requested “Jeremy Belpois… Top student at Kadic Academy…” A man sat before an array of floating monitors, his eyes focused on all the information before him. I need to act quickly… take in as much information then run before X.A.N.A. finds me. His elongated ears twitched as he watched a live video feed of Jeremy and Patrick heading into the factory. The two were laughing about something as Patrick helped Jeremy down the rope swing. “Okay, rough part over. Will you need help with typing?” Patrick asked, stepping into the elevator, leaning against one of the walls. “No, I’ll just type with one hand.” Jeremy chuckled, pressing the button to go down. “You can handle the mouse though.” “Duly noted.” So X.A.N.A. didn’t cause too much damage but still… he’s aware of Jeremy and Patrick and as far as he’s concerned they are a threat. The man sighed, his ears drooping. This is never what I had in mind… He shook his head, narrowing his eyes. But there isn’t

Chapter 5: Concerns X.A.N.A... Aelita was currently in one of the towers, sitting down cross legged, meditating, searching her mind for answers. I know that name… but… why can’t I remember him? And more importantly… Why do I feel so afraid of him? She sighed as nothing came. Her mind still void of any answers. I wonder if Jeremy might have anything in his files from Franz. She reached out in front of her, a screen appearing. She pressed her hand to it, opening a communication line. Hope he’s not busy. There was static for a few minutes before an image of Jeremy appeared in a window, a smile on his face. “Hey, Aelita.” “Hello, Jeremy.” Aelita smiled back, a sense of comfort coming to her at seeing him. “Are you busy?” “No, not now. I’m actually laid up in bed at the moment in the infirmary.” “... WHAT?!” Jeremy winced, leaning a bit away from his phone. Aelita’s eyes were wide, her hand over her mouth. “Are you okay?” “A-Ah it’s… it’s weird. I’ll be okay, just told

Chapter 4: Unusual Day “So, who was the girl your cousin was obsessing over last night?” Patrick smirked, taking a sip of his soda. He was currently by the vending machine area with Ulrich, the two taking a long break after a sparring match in the gym. “Cute girl with short pink hair named Aelita. Nerd just like him. Talks in computer languages and everything.” Patrick chuckled. “He’s completely flipped for her and it’s kind of adorable.” “Heh, something that has his attention that isn’t school or programs or gadgets, that’s a first.” Ulrich stirred his hot chocolate a little. “I have to ask, does he get to the same sap levels as Odd?” “Oh not even close to Oddinova.” “I’ll take that as a compliment.” Both looked up, seeing Odd was now present, the boy having a smirk on his face. “Couldn’t help but overhear the news. Our dear Einstein is finally falling in love?” “Looking like it.” Patrick smirked. “And you didn’t hear it from me, so he better not wind up on the

Chapter 3: Set Up “Aelita.” The young girl looked up at Franz, giving a curious look. “Yes, Daddy?” The two were currently taking a walk through a mountain like area. It was still taking time but Aelita was growing used to the look of the new world around her… including its inhabitants. Such as the manta ray like creature that was flying beside them, keeping watch. “You have a very important role here in Lyoko.” Franz said, squeezing her hand. “While I am the creator of this world, you are its guardian, my little angel.” “Guardian…?” “Yes. You hold special keys that allow you to manage this world. If anything ever happens to me, I entrust you to take care of this place.” Aelita frowned at this, hugging her father’s arm. “Then let’s make sure that never happens… Okay?” Franz gave a small smile, stroking his daughter’s hair. “We shall do what we can. You, me and X.A.N.A.” oooooo If Jeremy and Patrick had had it their way, they would’ve spent the whole day at the factory.
