Artificial Warrior

Chapter 1: The Wish

Disclaimer: I do no own Code Lyoko

Aelita and Jeremy walked through the forest toward the infamous manhole that led the Lyoko Warriors to the factory where they were virtualized into the digital world called Lyoko to battle the evil virus X.A.N.A. It has been a year since the gang turned off the super computer and destroyed X.A.N.A. and now the gang have returned to their normal lives as everyday students. But the peace won't last for long. "It feels so weird to be going back to the factory," said Aelita as she and Jeremy climbed down into the fowl smelling sewers. "Tell me about it", replied Jeremy. It was a Saturday evening and Jeremy and Aelita decided to pay the factory a visit. The others were too busy to come along so this gave Jeremy and Aelita some alone time. Soon the couple found the manhole leading up to the bridge to the factory. They walked toward the entrance, swung down from the ropes and onto the floor of the old, abandoned factory. " You still remember the code to open the elevator, right?" Aelita asked the blond boy. "What code?" Jeremy joked. "Very funny." Said Aelita rolling her eyes. Jeremy typed in the code and up they went. In the computer room, the two began looking around the room. It brought back memories. From the time Jeremy first met Aelita to their last mission on Lyoko where Aelita's father Franz Hopper gave his life in order to destroy the AI that threatened mankind. That memory of when her father died hit Aelita like a ton of bricks. She dropped to her knees and began sob for her loss. "Aelita are you ok?" Jeremy asked to the pink-haired girl with a worried expression on his face. "Daddy," was all Aelita could choke out. Jeremy tried to hold her but Aelita pulled away from him and said " can please leave, this place brings back too much pain to me." Jeremy nodded. They rode the elevator back down to where they entered the factory and climbed up the ropes and walked towards the manhole. As they walked away from the factory, Aelita looked back at the building and saw a ladder leading up to the roof of the building. That's when an idea came to Aelita. "Hey Jeremy, why don't we go up to the factory's roof?" Asked Aelita pointing to the ladder she had seen. " Isn't that a little to high a climb?" Jeremy responded nervously. "Oh come on you big chicken," mocked Aelita while she imitated a chicken. "Aelita that's not going to get me to climb that ladder and I don't have that big of an ego, so there," said Jeremy crossing his arms and sticking his tongue out at Aelita. " But Jeremy." Aelita complained. "But nothing, I'm not climbing that ladder." Said Jeremy. This left Aelita no choice. She would use her secret weapon that all women do to get men to do what they want. No, not that weapon, so get that nasty thought out of your mind. I meant sweet talking. "Pwetty pwease?" Said Aelita while hugging Jeremy. "Alright, fine we'll go, happy?" Replied the defeated blond boy. "Yay! Thank you Jeremy! Aelita exclaimed, kissing Jeremy on the cheek making him blush. The two made their way to the ladder and started to climb to the top of the factory. Once their, they sat down and gazed at the milk-white moon and the sparkling stars in the dark sky. "Jeremy, do you think I have still have family." Aelita said. Well, maybe, you know your mother could still be alive." Replied Jeremy. Aelita sighed and said, "I wish I could meet someone from my family, then I wouldn't feel so alone. "Aelita, you should never feel alone, you know our friends and I care about you." Jeremy reassured her. "I know Jeremy but I would really like to meet someone from my family." Said Aelita. "Maybe you will some day, you never know". Jeremy replied. It turns out that that some day would be very soon.

That night, Aelita dreamed that she was surrounded by a pack of wolves that looked like they were about to attack when all of a sudden a dark and light brown wolf with yellow eyes jumped out of some bushes and got in front of Aelita. It seemed as though the wolf was protecting her because it was in an attack position and was baring its golden fangs. The wolf (the wolf had black fur and red eyes) leading the pack (which Aelita assumed to be the alpha wolf due to its size) challenged the wolf defending Aelita. The two beasts engaged in combat, fur flying here and there, blood oozing from bites and scratches, it seemed the brown wolf, surprisingly, was winning because the black wolf was starting to look weak. Eventually the black wolf collapsed dead and once again the brown wolf bared its gleaming fangs while letting out a fierce growl, making the other wolves run off in fear of being killed. The brown wolf looked back at Aelita then walked over to her, being careful not to frighten her. Aelita, having a feeling that this creature meant her no harm, put out her hand. The brown wolf then licked her palm and began pulling on her sleeve, motioning for her to follow it. The nervous girl followed the wolf through the misty woods to the manhole that leads to the factory. Aelita stared at the wolf in confusion. "Why did you bring me here?" Aelita asked, expecting an answer from the wolf. The wolf just stared at her as if to say, "you figure it out," but Aelita was still confused. The beast rolled its eyes and pointed to the manhole with its paw. "Did you want me to go to the factory or something?" Aelita asked the wolf again making it give her an expression that said, "duh". Aelita opened up the manhole and was about to descend her way down to the sewers when she saw the yellow-eyed animal run away. "Wait!" Aelita yelled but the wolf was already out of sight. She sighed and continued her way down. At the bridge, Aelita saw the wolf waiting for her at the entrance of the factory. The wolf jumped down from the entrance and into the factory. Aelita followed and the two went inside the elevator. Aelita entered the code to the elevator and went down to the computer room. Once there, Aelita was lead to the super computer. "Now what do I do?" Aelita asked. But Aelita never got her answer because she woke up wondering what that was all about. She got up to get ready for the day knowing that was just any normal dream, the wolf wanted her to do something but Aelita didn't know what. "I'll have to talk to the others about at breakfast. Aelita sat down with her friends at breakfast and told them about the strange dream she had. "That's weird," said Odd while pigging out on his food. "I know and think it means something, something very important that has to do with the super computer." Aelita replied. "Maybe it has to do with Xana and Lyoko too," Jeremy said with a worried expression on his face. "I hope not, I don't want to go on anymore dangerous adventures on that virtual hell," Ulric said. Just then the bell rang and the gang all got up to go to class.
