P.S. grrr... there is one bad thing about OC's. you have to introduce them to the original characters. its annoying... ok... i'm done. on with the story.

Chapter One
The Virus

I burst out through the tower and ran. I wasn't sure what I was running from or where I was running to. All I knew was that I had to get out. I didn't know how, I didn't even think it was possible, but of course Xana just gets a kick out of proving me wrong. That tower was a trap, and I had walked right into it.

My feet swiftly moved across the dull landscape of the Ice Sector. I had no idea how long I had been fighting or how much time I had left.

There it was. The Scyphozoa hovered after me as tarantulas blocked my path. The tarantulas cocked their lasers and shot in my direction. I swung my bo staff around my body, reflecting the attack back at them. One was gone, but the other stood strong. I let out a quick breath and did a quick 360. Three Krabes made their way over to the battle and surrounded me.

The tarantula shot another beam and I tried to dodge with a flip. The shot pierced my side, sending me flying back. I tried to stand, but something was holding me back. The tentacles of the Scyphozoa wrapped around me and caught me in a trance. The red glow surrounded me as my weapon slipped from my grasp.

"Laser Arrow!" I faint voice echoed behind me. A small dart-like weapon pierced the Scyphozoa.

The Scyphozoa was gone and my body fell to the ground. I reached for my bo staff and used to help me stand.

"Aelita, the tower!" a different voice called out.

I lifted my head to see a boy in a samurai like ensemble. He fought with another boy who had bright blond hair wearing a purple suit. My eyes shifted to the right as a girl wearing a geisha like outfit hurled a fan into the weak spot on one of the Krabes.

"Go on, Princess. We got you're back," The blond boy said as he shot another arrow at a monster.

Who were these people? Who did they think they were, barging in while I was in the middle of deactivating Xana's tower?

A girl with light pink hair dashed across the landscape to the tower. She stopped at its entrance and slowly stepped in. no.

"Stop!" I called out to the girl but it was already too late. She was in the tower. I got to my feet and I could feel the others watching me. I sprinted to the tower, "Get out of the tower!" I yelled to the naïve girl.

"Hold up," the boy with dark brown hair caught me, forcing me back.

"No! Let me go! She can't be in the tower!" I screamed at him and struggled in his grip.

"Maybe she's one of Xana's creations. Xana always manages to keep us on our toes." The girl spoke as she and the other boy walked over.

My jaw dropped, "Take that back!" I ordered, now filled with anger, "I am not associated with Xana. He's the real monster. Now let me go!"

"Guys, what's going on? Has Aelita entered the tower yet?" a new voice echoed through the now empty sector.

"She's in the tower Jeremie," the samurai spoke, "But we ran into a… situation."

I gripped my bo staff and swiftly twisted it. The staff slammed into the side of the boy's knee, making him trip and loose his grip.

I sprinted toward the tower, "You'll thank me for that later!" I called back as I approached the tower.

"No!" the others called. The girl helped the boy up as the boy in the wearing purple began to gain on me.

"Stop! She has to deactivate the tower!" he called and pounced on me.

His light body crushed against me and pinned me to the ground. I struggled under him but I couldn't move.

"Let me up!" I ordered as I refused to give up.

"No." he said stubbornly.

"More than the tower will be 'deactivated' if you don't let me go!" I screamed.

"What are you talking about?" he demanded.

"That tower has a virus! Everything that tries to shut anything down will be killed! Now let me go!" I sent a kick where-the-sun-don't-shine and he fell over in pain.

"Owwwww!" he cried and rolled on the ground.

I got to my feet and finally reached the tower. I entered and was lifted to the top.

I gasped as I saw the girl lying on the ground beside the access code scanner. I quickly ran over to the code and tried to hack the system. It quickly clicked and I began to override the virus.

Code: Hannibal

The tower deactivated and I turned back to the girl that was on the ground. I quickly sat her up and she began coughing. Her coughs became further apart as her wide eyes met mine.

"Who are you?" she asked timidly.

"Just here to help out. And I think you're friends owe me an apology. If I didn't override the system, you could have been lost forever." I smiled at her.

"Um, thank you," she said politely.

I helped her stand as we made our way out of the entrance.

"Aelita!" the group gathered around the girl.

"Aelita? What's wrong, guys?" the strange voice spoke again.

"Nothing, Jeremie, I'm fine. I had some help." She smiled at me and began to stand on her own.

"What do you mean?" The other girl asked, "What happened in there?"

"Well… I'm not sure." She answered.

"Lets get you guys out of there and we can talk it through. There's no need for a return to a past. It was weird, nothing here on earth changed."

"I can explain that," I heard myself answer the voice.

"What? Who is that?" the voice spoke back.

"It's who helped me, Jeremie. Get us all back there and she can explain it."

"What… what?" I asked, "Back where?"

"You do go back to earth, right?" The blond haired boy asked.

"Yeah, but… hold on!" I started, "Who are you people? I've never seen you before! I thought I was the only person who was fighting Xana!"

"Nope. We've been fighting too." The brown haired boy spoke, "I'm Ulrich."

"Yumi," the other girl smiled.

"My name is Aelita," the other girl answered, "Thank you for your help."

"The name's Odd," The boy with spiked blond hair added, "And, please don't kick me again."

I felt my face flush, "Sorry about that…" I looked at the others, "I'm Raya."

"Will you come with us?" Aelita asked, "It's exciting to meet another person from Lyoko."

I nodded, "Sure. I don't see any harm." I smiled.

It wasn't like I had much of a home to go back to in my 'real life'. Maybe it's a good thing I ran into these strange warriors…
