The Lost Guardian

Getting ready

Bob POV

"Game Over."

"All right Bob that was great!" Dot said giving me a high five.

"Thanks Dot. By the way Matrix nice job keeping the User busy." I said.

"Well I couldn't have done it without AndrAia." Matrix said putting his arm around AndrAia.

"So lets go to the dinner. I need some energy." I said and we headed to the dinner. When we got there though Phong was there.

"Phong? What are you doing here?" Dot asked.

"Well child, I need to talk to Bob. Can you come with me to the principle office it's urgent." The old sprite asked.

"Uh of course Phong." I said. After a few nanoseconds we were at the principle office. "So what is it Phong?" I asked.

"Bob do you remember when you first got here to Mainframe and how surprised you were that we had no guardian?" He asked.

"Well yea of course. So?" I responded.

"Well we did have a guardian. She was really good at the games only a little better than you. She also helped us to keep Megabyte under control. That is why you noticed that in the time before you came Megabyte had gained power fairly quickly." He explained.

"Well what happened to her? Was she nullified?" I asked.

"No my son if only that was what happened." Phong said.

"What could be worse than being nullified?" I asked.

"She fell into the energy sea. Hack and Slash got a lucky shot in with an ABC fleet." He said.

"Wait she was beaten by Hack and Slash." i said.

"Well back then they were as malicious as Megabyte. Before she hit the sea she managed to infect their code to make them well the way they are now." He said.

"So why are you telling me this I mean if she fell into the energy sea then there is nothing we can do." I said.

"Not exactly. You see we have reason to believe that she survived the energy sea and is living in a system that is very isolated." Phong explained bringing up a vidwindow showing a map of the system.

"How isolated is it?" I asked.

"Lets just say that we are the first people to discover it and we only found it one cycle ago. The only inhabitants of the system is a super virus named XANA, the guardian, and occasionally the Users that come to help." Before he could continue I stopped him.

"Wait did you just say that she works with Users. That come to the system!" I said astonished.

"Yes the Users help her to fight the virus. Now I need you to do something for me." Phong said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I want you to travel to this system and bring her back." He answered.

"Just curious, but why?" I asked.

"Because as we have discovered this system it is only a matter of time before the other Guardians find it. And because she survived the energy sea she will be accused of leaving the system undefended. She was a close friend of mine and I don't want anything to happen to her." Phong explained.

"I understand. Now would it be alright if I brought Dot, Matrix, AndrAIa, and Frisket?" I asked.

"Sure. Now call them over because I need you to leave immediately." He said before going into the principle office.

Once he went inside I called Dot and told her to bring the others to the principle office. Once they got there we headed inside. After explaining to Dot and the others what was going on Matrix spoke up.

"Oh I remember her me and her used to play together when I was a little sprite." He said.

"Yea and she was one of the few people that Frisket wouldn't growl at." Dot said.

"Wait do you mean that she would babysit you Matrix?" I asked getting confused.

"No she was the same age as me." He explained.

"Wait so this great guardian was a little kid?" I asked.

"Yes child." Phong said while leading us to the gateway command.

"Ok. So anyways Phong what is the name of this system?" Dot asked.

"The system is called Lyoko. Bob could I see Glitch real quick. I'm going to give it some information on the system. Now be careful and good luck." Phong said before starting up the Gateway Command. One by one they each stepped through and into the system of Lyoko.
