Code Lyoko: Lyokostar 1: Story 2: Surprises and Secrets

by WindySilver

Mary is dead. Or is she? If a fake death is not counted, then not! She is behind the scenes, in the shadows, again, watches out for X.A.N.A. and waits for a new chance to make her new return. Can she succeed when she is up against not just X.A.N.A.'s army with XanaWilliam as its general but also the Lyoko Warriors' unwavering belief on the veracity of her death?

1. Part 1: Alone

Mary was in Skidbladnir's garage. She thought about what she could do. X.A.N.A. had found out that she had fooled it, so now all of its gang was chasing her. Mary walked back and forth while wondering what she had to do. However, nothing came to her mind and thus she sighed, slumping to sit on the ground. Mary sighed again.

"William is under X.A.N.A.'s control, my friends think that I'm dead and when I try to contact them, they think I'm a X.A.N.A.'s specter and to boot, monsters, William and X.A.N.A. are chasing me. It feels... like I'm... abandoned, forgotten, redundant, useless... It feels like it doesn't matter if I exist... I've been abandoned, the whole world has abandoned me. Yeah, that's how it is," Mary, sad and depressed, told herself and Skidbladnir's dock – which, of course, did not listen and could not care less about the girl's heartache.

After saying that Mary started to cry because the old memories came back to her mind in the unbroken silence. The good old times felt very distant and that they were; it had been 10 years from all that.

While thinking about it all Mary remembered that unless her sense of time had failed, on that very day she turned 15. It did not help, though. The world had abandoned her maybe even for good, the friends at least had. The birthday had been nothing to her for ten years since no one celebrated it. She was celebrating there all alone but without anyone with her the meaning of the birthday had disappeared. She could barely even remember what a birthday truly was and what it meant, not to mention the date.

Taken over by sorrow, Mary did not notice the arrival of the very person whose coming she had feared for all week, not to mention the past times. It seemed that after defying death for years, doom would take her now that her morale was gone whereas XanaWilliam was more serious than ever before. The Xana Warrior noticed that it was the best time to attack as the target did not notice anything, so he took his sword and went towards the girl.

Inside his mind from which the vexation about the girl's believed but faked death had been strictly wiped away, he already regarded this as a victory.

Now he would get his final victory on the dragon girl.
