Chapter 1 The Society

As the white light cleared, Odd opened his eyes to discover his location, once again, to be Castle Oblivion.

Odd looked over at Solomon and grinned. "That was cool. Are you sure Aelita fixed it though?"

Solomon gestured casually, "Of course. Besides, the alternative would be our still being in that drab world. I rather prefer base…Don't you?"

"Oh, right…Castle Oblivion. Ya. So what are we doing now?" Odd asked, turning down the hallway with Solomon.

"Well, first we'll report in, and then we'll get some food, and then I'll show you the games room. How about that?"

"Fine by me."

"Alright, let's go."

Odd and Solomon found themselves outside a large wooden door. Solomon grinned at Odd and pushed open a much smaller door concealed in the vastness of the wooden giant. Solomon held up a hand for Odd to stay put, and proceeded inside. Minutes passed, and Odd grew bored. Finally though, Solomon reappeared.

"You can come in now."

"About time…" Odd said, standing up from where he had been leaning against the wall. Inside, it looked just like a library, and Odd mentioned this to Solomon.

"Well, it is really. This is the place where every mission ever made; ending either with failure or success, is stored or categorized for future reference. And that is why we make our reports straight here; way easier than reporting to our leader, which comes all the way back here, right? So much more practical."

Odd didn't know how to respond to this, so he just nodded.

As the center of the vast library came into view, an old woman seated at an ancient wooden desk came into view. Hundreds of what looked like data pads from the Star Wars galaxy were piled high next to her.

Solomon bowed respectfully. Madame Ariet. We have brought our latest mission before you for chroniclization.

The withered old woman didn't say anything, but nodded at the two of them, her eyes coming to rest on Odd.

"Well met, Odd Della Robbia."

"Well met, elder Ariet," for Odd felt this was the proper title for someone so old and wise.

Her eyes glimmered. "It's been a long time since I've last been called that, young one. Thank you."

Odd blushed and nodded.

She turned to Solomon. "You said you had something for me?"

"Yes."

She sighed. "What were you doing this time? You were gone for so long…Let me guess. You were meditating under waterfalls and fighting bears again, right?"

"Hey!" Solomon protested. "I didn't fight bears!"

"But you were meditating under waterfalls?"

"Maybe."

"Did you at least learn that it's a very wet place to meditate?"

"Funnily enough, I did."

"Indeed. Where's that memory, hm?"

"Right here…"

As Solomon said this, he put his fingers to his temple and concentrated, and when he removed his fingers, a glistening white strand seemed to be drawn out of his forehead. He passed this over to the old woman, and it disappeared when she touched it. Her eyes seemed to glow white for a moment, then it was gone and she looked at Odd mournfully.

"Oh dear, you've been through a lot. But, ah, 'Solomon', can we talk for a second?"

"I'm afraid not, m'lady, Odd here is starving, and I've got to show him around still. Sorry!" And with that, Solomon dragged Odd out of the room and down the hall, where they entered a room furnished like the Kadic rec. room.

"Odd."

Odd spun around, coming face to face with a grinning Xion. "Hi Xion!"

She smiled, confused. "Do I know you…?"

Solomon grabbed her arm and pulled her over to a corner, where he engaged in a hurried conversation with her. Odd then noticed the color of her robe; it was white, tinged with alternating shades of black. White. It had been black last time they had seen her.

It didn't make sense.

By now the two were done talking, and had come back over to Odd. Solomon spoke first.

"Bad news, Odd. Seems like we're not gonna be able to stay here so long after all."

"What do you mean?"

"We," Xion spoke up, crossing her arms. "Have got a mission. And for whatever reason, I can't find this mission that Solomon's talking about in the data bank. Whatever. Apparently, we're still gonna do this though, so let's get going."

Solomon sighed as Xion strode out of the room, shrugged, and followed, motioning for Odd to do the same. In the hallway, Xion turned to them, muttered something to Solomon that Odd couldn't make out, and grabbed both their collars, pulling them into a black haze that suddenly appeared.

As they stepped out, Odd was blinded by sunlight.

"Huh. So this is where we're gonna be stationed for the next however long?" Odd heard Xion comment.

Solomon sighed. "Yup."

"Nice town though."

"So-so."

As Odd's eyes came into focus, he blinked, not believing what he saw. He was standing on a roof at sunset, Xion sitting next to him and Solomon leaning against the tower. He could distinctly see two people sitting by the gate, one wearing a dark purple shirt that hung off her left shoulder with white jeans. The other had bubblegum pink hair and was wearing short jean shorts and a pink summer shirt that hung off her shoulder too. Two girls, just talking and waiting for friends.

Odd heard a stray word drift across the deserted school ground, and the pink-haired girl cover the mouth of the other. It was fleeting, but there was no mistaking the word.

"…Lyoko…"

Odd gasped, realizing where they were, and who the people were.

Those weren't just any girls. That was Aelita and Yumi.

And they were sitting on top of Kadic Academy for the Arts.

They were back.

So how was it? PLEASE let me know, i LOVE constructive criticism. I'll also be happy to re-do any unsatisfactory chapters!

Hope you enjoyed!
