Chapter 1
Trying to find the answers
Lightning flashed, thunder roared across the dark gray sky, rain falling in a downpour onto the empty streets. Being the middle of the night not many people were out and about the city. It was already past eleven at night close to midnight, cars became less and less as the night went on. You'd think that most people would be sleeping at this hour.
At Kadic all lights were off except one, the one light that was on was in the room of Jeremie Belpois, the mastermind behind the finding of Lyoko and Aelita, though she was materialized she was still linked to Lyoko thanks to the evil supercomputer XANA. Jeremie was determined to find an answer so he could shut down the supercomputer and Aelita could be free.
But at this moment he wasn't working on that program, it was something else he was working on. He didn't want to tell his friends just yet, he wanted it to be a surprise for them, especially Aelita.
Soon Jeremie heard footsteps outside his door, at first he thought it was Jim on his usual patrol of the halls but soon Jeremie recognized the footsteps. He quickly minimized what he was working on and pulled up a different program. Soon he heard a soft knock on his door.
" Come in." Jeremie said his eyes not moving from the screen
His door opened slowly to reveal Aelita Hopper better known as Aelita Stones within the school circuit. Her pink hair was to her neck, her dark green eyes sparkling with innocence, she was wearing a pink shirt with a kitten on it and white pants. She walked over to the blond haired male his glasses reflecting the light of the screen.
" It's almost midnight Jeremie, you need some sleep." Aelita stated
" I'm getting so close Aelita, I know I am." Jeremie replied
Aelita shook her head as she folded her arms across her chest giving Jeremie a stern look.
" Save what you have and get some sleep." Aelita said
" I'm a big boy, I think I can go to bed by myself." Jeremie replied in a playful tone
" You need some rest, you keep this up you will run yourself ragged." Aelita said
" I know you're looking out for me Aelita, but I need to get this done." Jeremie said
" I doubt the virus will affect me between now and when you're finished with the program." Aelita retorted
" Alright, you win Princess." Jeremie said
Jeremie quickly saved his progress on both programs and shut down his computer, Aelita smiled as the male went over and sat on his bed. Aelita sat next to Jeremie and gave him a curious look.
" What was the other program you were working on?" Aelita asked
" It's a surprise Princess" Jeremie replied with a smile
Aelita only smiled as she took off Jeremie's glasses for him causing the male to blush, Aelita widened her smile as she set them on Jeremie's desk.
" Get some sleep, we have a big day ahead of us." Aelita said
" No worries I will." Jeremie replied still blushing
Aelita existed the room as Jeremie laid down and covered up with his blankets, Aelita smiled at this as she closed the door behind her knowing Jeremie would sleep until morning.
Morning came hours later, sunlight pouring into the dorm of Odd Della Robia and Ulrich Stern. Odd was interesting to say the least, he had blond hair that held a purple blotch. As for Ulrich he had brown hair and his last name sometimes suited him.
Ulrich awoke when the sunlight hit his face waking to Odd's snoring, but Ulrich was use to it by now. He slipped on his usual clothes and walked over to Odd's bed waking Kiwi.
" Come on Odd time to get up." Ulrich stated
" Five more minutes." Odd groaned rolling over
" Not if you want to miss Pancake Day in the cafeteria." Ulrich smirked
Odd instantly hopped out of bed quickly getting changed into his clothes, Ulrich knew how to get Odd out of bed on Pancake Day.
" What are we waiting for? Come on." Odd said
Odd was already half way down the hall by the time Ulrich locked the dorm door so Kiwi couldn't get out while they were gone. Once in the cafeteria Ulrich could see that Aelita and Jeremie were at the usual table.
" I see you two are up early." Ulrich stated sitting down
" When aren't we?" Aelita asked in a playful tone
Ulrich noted that Jeremie was typing on his laptop his eyes never moving from the screen.
" What are you up to Jeremie? You haven't said much." Ulrich asked
" I'm so close to freeing Aelita from XANA, I'm so close that it's becoming easier." Jeremie replied
Aelita smiled, she was glad that Jeremie was so dedicated, she could tell that he cared for her and she cared for him. She was glad that she had met him.
" Glad to hear it Einstein but no need to fry your brain." Odd said sitting down
" I'm getting close, plus Odd I think I can handle it." Jeremie replied
Suddenly Ulrich's cellphone vibrated, he pulled out of his pants pocket finding a text message from their good friend Yumi Ishiyama.
" Bad news Yumi's sick, she's staying home today." Ulrich stated
" She must have caught a cold or something." Aelita said
" No doubt, her brother was sick so she probably got it from him." Odd said
Jeremie kept typing not saying a word soon he felt Aelita put a hand on his shoulder, a blush came to Jeremie's cheeks, he took his eyes off the screen and looked at Aelita.
" Take a break we have Science class in a few minutes." Aelita stated
Jeremie nodded not saying a word as he saved his progress his blush grew redder when Aelita's hand touched his cheek. Jeremie closed his laptop, the group left the cafeteria and walked off to their respective classes.
Once classes were done Aelita knew where to find Jeremie, she was glad that he was doing so much for her along with Ulrich, Yumi, and Odd. Aelita politely knocked on Jeremie's door.
" Come in." Jeremie said
Aelita opened the door " Working hard again I see." Aelita stated
" I'm getting closer with every minute, I know this will work." Jeremie replied
Aelita found a chair and moved it next to the blond, she sat down and gave a smile.
" I appreciate all what you are doing for me." Aelita stated
" I want you to be free, just like your spirit, you can't be XANA's slave forever." Jeremie replied
Aelita's smile widened, she could help but hug the blond, Jeremie blushed a deep red.
" You are such a great friend Jeremie." the pink haired girl said
Jeremie couldn't say anything, he tried but nothing came out of his mouth.
" Come on lets go down for dinner before they run out of food thanks to Odd." Aelita stated letting go
Jeremie saved the progress he had made, he got up and walked down to the cafeteria with Aelita knowing that Odd and Ulrich were already there.
Once the two left closing the door behind them something popped up on Jeremie's computer, a tower appeared with the all to familiar symbol flashing beside it.
