Welcome my friends, to New Lyoko...
Deep within the depths of cyberspace, all is quiet...
Well, as quiet as the most used source of information can be.
Let's dive into the depths of what a certain five children would call "the Digital Sea." From an nondescript point in its waters, a faint light materializes. In an un-described location of a bustling city, in view a fantastic metal spire, a small screen blinks to life. Upon its lit interface, a symbol ,which one could describe as an eye, appears. One could call it an eye, but this figure is more than that. Three smooth red strikes stream from its center, a circle within a circle, and within that, a spot that screams of endlessness. A spire peaks this seal, and as it blinks, the keyboard of its host start to type, as if with a mind of their own.
Back in the wireless sea, the light brightens. It starts to expand, until it becomes something completely different entirely. In the Luminosity's place, an brilliant and striking structure takes shape. First comes the outer ring, an enormous golden tube, its elegant arcing supports look as if done by an artist, its floors covered in what could be compared to red velvet but better. A transparent shield protects this ring from the cold waters that surround it, for these waters do not only drown, but could erase those unprotected permanently.
Next an inner cell, as tasteful and amazing as the last, but smaller and more confining. Short and almost unnoticable structures connect these two rings, and more arch from the inner ring to the building's center, where another, more vile structure forms. Don't mistake it for something demonic yet, it is as artistic and charming as it's larger brothren. What is troubling, is what it contains in its core. A cylindrical machine stands. In that machine, a storm of darkness spirals about. Red jewel eyes form within its winds, and a manner of beasts materialize before them. Ranging from large disks on spindly legs to hovering legless insects and even a giant black ball with eyes, they all bow down before their master.
The eyes glow a burning crimson as the maelstrom speaks with an almost inhuman voice filled with malice.
