Entering a New Warrior
This day is something we will never forget. The air is sunny but our hearts were cloudy. Our faces are ready to pour out tears. The sky is a blue blanket. What a day for something that we never saw coming. We were all warned but we didn't listen. How I wish we could change this but no amount of technology or magic can fix this. We can't look away from this day. This person didn't deserve this. His friends didn't deserve this. This is the only day Yumi wished she didn't have to wear black. This day of death... but I am getting ahead of myself. Let's start a few weeks earlier in September...
"What a day!" Dawn said as she lays down on her silver handbag. "You said it! Did Jeremy ever get back to us?" Ash asked. "He said to meet him by the picnic tables in five," Brock said. "Does that mean that the virus worked?" "No! Aelita said it does not. Jeremy is at a road block!" Allison said. "A roadblock! He has done it before!" Dawn said. "And look what has happened! XANA manage to escape! We can't let that happen at all!"Brock said. Allison gets a message in her Ipad. "Come on! Let's meets the others!" Allison said. She grabs her new pink sparkling shoulder bag. "I'll bet he wants to ask Laura!" Dawn said. "He wouldn't do that to Aelita!" Ash said. "Yes, he will!"Brock said. "If Allison just said Jeremy is at a stand still, then he will be desperate!"
"No way!" Odd said. "You must have lost your fucking mind!" "I did! That's why I said it. I'm desperate!" Jeremy said. "Using Laura like that isn't fair, even with the time reversal," Ulrich said. "But she did help us out last time," William said. "By following you to the factory," Ash pointed out. "I think we should!" Aelita said. Everyone looks at her. Aelita, the girl that launched a time reversal before anyone can vote on letting Laura to the group. "Are you sure?" Dawn asked. "You heard Jeremy, we're desperate!" "Okay, let's do it!" Jeremy said. In the library, they all see Laura looking through her Ipad. Odd takes it and everyone runs. Tey run all the way to the factory, however, Laura gets left behind from the elevator. Then she is able to use it. Once inside, she is amazed and flabbergasted by what she sees. "What is this?" She explains. Jeremy fills her in about what she needs to know. "So will you help us?" Jeremy asked. "Of course!" She said. "But you all have to explain to me what's going on afterwards!" She commanded. "Let's get to work!" Jeremy said. After a few hours, the virus works, yeah! Of course, Laura asked a question. "Return to the past! Is this what you will use on me after this is all over?" Everyone is shocked. "It's basic coding that I read while doing this, so?" Jeremy comes clean. "Yes!" Laura glares at him as he launches the time reversal.
Going back, everything is normal. "I'll meet you all later. I have tutoring to go to!" William said. "If you remembered your school work like you remember to us that, that you wouldn't have to go!" Ash joked. "Funny! I'll remember that!" He said. Laura is studying but she starts to have flashbacks that are strange to her. "What is the meaning of this?" She said to herself. At the factory, the others are ready to go. "Are you sure that you want us to go?" Yumi asked. "Yeah, Jeremy figured you guys should go. And last night, he asked us to test out the speed megapod because there were some problems with it." dawn said. "If you use the word, 'problems' like that!" Odd said. "How did that go?" Ulrich asked. "Have fun!" Allison said. "That's doesn't answer the question." "It does!" Brock said. Laura follows William and begins to ask questions. He calls Jeremy, "Jeremy, I think Luara is starting to remember something!" "Then stop her!" Jeremy shouts. "Anything wrong?" Dawn asked. "No! Not yet!" "Not yet!" Odd said. "It seems that Laura is having flashbacks!" "What! How?" Ulrich asked. "Something is wrong? I need to go back!" Aelita said. "But you are almost there!" Ash said. He points to a spot on Aelita's laptop and she sees it. "This is more important, Yumi, you can put in the virus!" Aelita gets devirtualized to help Jeremy.
"I see it!" Aelita said. "She changed the lines of the program so that it will not work on her." "That...that..." Dawn struggles to find a word. "Can't think of anything!" Jeremy snarky said. "This is no time to joke. Plus, we made a deal that we will be less biting this year," Ash said. "Will good thing I didn't make that deal!" Aelita said, referring to Laura. Meanwhile, Odd safely drives the Megapod to the Cortex but once there, the defense kicks in and Odd almost ends up in the Digital Sea. Jeremy is able to get him back to Earth. "Okay, Yumi and Ulrich, get to the core and launch the virus I made..." Jeremy said. "Do you mean, the virus we made!" Laura said. William tries to stop her but it is no use. Jeremy is frozen. "Does anyone notice a temperature drop or did it just get cold in here?' Ash said. "I feel it too!" Allison said. Laura and Aelita exchange looks. "You all used me for yourselves, I was just defending myself!" Laura shouted. Jeremy sends the virus as Yumi and Ulrich reach the Terminal but a firewall comes up and sounds an alarm. Then foreign bodies appear. They easily defeat Yumi and Ulrich. "Ninjas!" Odd said. Thanks to Laura, this can be said loosely depending on the person, it is discovered that the Supercomputer that manages the Cortex had made changes to itself. With that being said, they have to start all over. It wouldn't be much of a story if it worked.
"What to do about Laura?" Allison started off. "We can't get rid of her!" Ulrich said. "That was a little harsh but what she did was sneaky!" Ash said. "She is a good part of our group!" William said. "How could you say that?" Aelita said. "Think about it! Jeremy would need another right-hand woman in the factory!" Yumi said. Aelita grumbles. "Come on, Aelita?" Ulrich said. Aelita sighs. "We can just let her in on a need to know basis. Fair?" Jeremy asked. "Fair!" Everyone said. Laura enters with glee. Jim then arrives to get Laura and William for dorm inspections. "I thought that was last week?" Odd said. Jim has a spider mark on his neck. Outside Jeremy's room, a spider spins a web of the group, minus William and Laura. A figure watches the web from a room in a house outside the city. "They are each a Dead-Soldier Walking!" The figure said. A few minutes later two stars fly in the sky and landed on Allison and Ash. " Did you miss us!" They said. "Leya! Leistera!" Yumi said. Williams comes back and sees the girls. "You're Ash's cousins, right?" They look at him with suspicion. "I haven't seen you in a while. Where did you come from?" He asked. "Look, you mother should have explained that to you a long time ago!" Leya said. Everyone gasped. Ash wakes up. "Don't mind her!" He gets closer to Leistera. "What are you doing here?" "Independent study for Preschool!" She hugs him. "Get off!" He said. Allison wakes up and sees Leya smiling at her. She hugs her as well. "They really missed you?" William said. "Yeah, we did too," Allison said. "Not really," Jeremy said. Laura walks by. "This is cute!" "These are Ash's cousins!" William said. "yeah, you can leave!" Ash said. She looks at them. "They look a lot like Ash!" Laura said. Everyone tenses up. "He just said we're his cousins! You guys really need to make smarter friends!" Leistera said. Laura is appalled by that statement. Everyone else slowly laughs. The spider records this as well. "Cousins, more like daughters of you and that Princess of yours!" The figure said.
