The World She Lives In
Hello my name's Annett. Don't ask what my last name is because I don't know it. I'm 9 years old and I've always been taught three things. 1. I was taken from my parents. 2. Our world is at war. 3. XANA is our protector from the lyoko warriors.
After the lyoko warriors defeated XANA long ago the world was in peace. The five kids grew up and got married. Aelita to Jeremy, Yumi to Ulrich, and Odd well he stayed the same as always never settling down with anyone. On day though 15 years later the computer was restarted, as was XANA. He was stronger than ever and started a war. The five warriors reunited and started a resistance known as the lyoko warriors. Problem was Aelita and Jeremy were expecting their first child, while Yumi and Ulrich were expecting their second child. A few hours after the children were born an attack was launched at the hospital they were at. Followers of XANA went through the hospital looking for the lyoko warriors. The warriors were able to escape though at a cost, they had no clue what happened to their children in the chaos they were unable to get them. This was not the first time this had happened. In order to get more fighters XANA and his team had been raiding hospitals for the newborns and converting them to his side.
The children were sent to special schools where they would grow up under the eye of XANA's followers…
"Girls wake UP!" Marie, the room monitor yelled waking me and the other 9 girls in the room up. It was 5:30 which means time to get up and ready for school. School being where we learn combat skills, survival skills, who the enemy is, and the history of the war. This was one of the many 'schools' that XANA had established all over the world.
"Come on Annett we don't want to miss the hot showers again." My friend Julie said.
"Coming!" I called heading toward the door. Julie was my only friend. She was five years older than me so she had more experience here. Luckily we made it to the shower in time to get some hot water. After our shower we all got dressed. Our outfits were determined by our ages. Girls 12 and under wore a sort of light pink dress with white leggings and black Mary Jane shoes. While the older girls wore the same thing except with some color differences, like the dress is a deep red and the leggings are black, but we all wear the same shoes. After getting dressed I put my light pink hair in its usual braid down my back and caught up to Julie.
"So Julie what classes do you have today?" I asked as we headed to breakfast.
"Same as yesterday. First off archery practice, then survivals class, and lastly origin of the lyoko warrior resistance." She answered. "How about you?"
"Well first is my private course on the supercomputer, then we're getting to use the new weapons similar to one of the lyoko warriors' weapons, and lastly origin of the supercomputer." I said.
"Do you ever wonder why you're learning how to use the supercomputer Annett?" She asked.
"Sometimes, but maybe that's what I'm chosen to do." I answered. We are all designated a purpose at some age by XANA about what we are supposed to do in the war.
"Maybe, but I've never known anyone to be designated so young. Well I'll see you later Annett!" She said as she entered her first class.
I turned off the main hallway into another emptier hallway. I always hated walking alone, without Julie because everyone looked at me like I was the enemy. I guess that's understandable considering I looked like two of the leaders of the lyoko warriors. Once I got to the end of the hallway I entered the supercomputer room that the school had. I guess I was lucky because I was being taught by someone that knew the supercomputer as much as the lyoko warriors, XANA.
"Hello Annett." He said turning to me. He looked like he was about 30 years old with jet black hair; he was also wearing his usual black suit with his eye colored red on his forehead. To the lyoko warriors XANA was a cruel person who has nothing but evil inside of him. But if you give him the respect he deserves than he will seem kind, just be careful not to upset him. Punishment for that is temporary control by the scyphozoa, I made that mistake when I was about 7. It was terrible because you have no control at all. You just feel as though you are locked away in a part of your mind and can only watch.
"Good Morning sir." I said giving a small bow as was customary in the presence of him.
"Today I'll be teaching you the program for creating monsters. Then we'll be going to lyoko to try it out in the mountain passage tower." He explained.
"Alright, so let's get started." I said.
"Ok, now it's fairly simple you just…"
Transfer Annett
Scanner Annett
Virtualization
I heard XANA called as he virtualized me into the mountain sector. I looked more or less like an angel. I had a black robe with sleeves that kind of droop down to my waist when I hold my arms out. In the place where my heart would be was a red eye of XANA. My wings were black and I had red marks under my eyes. My hair now was red at the tips and was sort of flowing in the wind of the mountain sector.
"Ok, Annett enter the tower and then try and create a block." XANA instructed.
"Alright, by the way interesting lyoko form." I said running towards the nearby tower.
"I guess that's what you wanted to look like." He said.
Once I got in the tower I went up to the second platform and entered the program for creating the blocks. I decided to have a little fun and give it a little upgrade. Now they were a dark red with a white bull's-eye and black background. It could move much faster than before and had another target on top and this one could shoot a green boomerang laser. Once I was happy with the design I hit enter and the block appeared outside the tower.
"Now materialize it to earth." XANA instructed and I did so and then he materialized me as well.
"Hmm… interesting design Annett." Xana said circling the block.
"I thought that this design would be more efficient in the war. Do you like it?" I asked.
"Yes… yes very much now what does this laser on top do?" He asked.
"It shoots a green laser from the top and this one is a boomerang beam and can hit more than one enemy. It will also prevent the resistance from destroying them from the top." I said happy with myself.
"Good job. Now it's time for your next class, don't be late." He said leading me out the door and shutting it behind me.
I was now time for lunch. We have a choice of either eating in the cafeteria or outside, even though if we do that we must have one of XANA's creatures accompany us. Julie had a different lunch time so I have to eat by myself I decided to eat outside so I was assigned K-56 which was one of XANA's krabs. Once I got outside I saw that there were a few other girls too. I saw one of the few trees and decided to sit there and eat.
"Go on." I told the krab and he began walking around. Because I took lessons from XANA on the supercomputer I was able to speak with the monsters and they understood me. It was really peaceful up until the last 10 minutes because some of the lyoko warrior resistance members started attacking the monsters. Rule one of going outside is that if your monster is destroyed you're to go inside immediately. Rule two is that if by any chance you are taken by the warriors you are to activate the homing beacon in your bracelet to alert XANA and almost all the time he will send William or Zen to come get you. Rule three is if they start attacking then you're supposed to put the hood of the dress over your head to hide your identity.
The group looked like the five original warriors and were destroying the monsters one by one. I looked up to see the purple cat boy, Odd in the tree above me. I yelled and that got the attention of some of the hornets that came as soon as the warriors started attacking. I ran out from under the tree only to bump into another warrior, Jeremy. I got knocked to the ground and my hood fell off. He gasped when he saw my hair color and reached down to grab me but was stopped by William showing up.
"Get inside now Annett!" He ordered as soon as he saw my krab get destroyed. I ran for the door and I guess I did not pay very much attention because another warrior, Aelita flew down and lifted me off the ground. I looked down to see Julie headed for the door along with the rest of the survival skills class.
"Julie! Help me!" I yelled and that caught her attention.
"Annett I'm coming!" She yelled back and ran to the nearby archery shed and grabbed her bow and a few arrows. She came outside and aimed one of the arrows at Aelita and released it. Unfortunately it missed.
"Guys let's get out of here!" Jeremy yelled getting the others attention when he saw that Aelita had me. She turned around and started heading away from the school and the other lyoko warriors fallowed her.
"Let me go! "I yelled at her trying to get out of her grasp.
"Don't worry you'll be safe with us." She said looking down at me.
"Yea right like I'd be safe with the enemy." I said back at her. She looked slightly hurt by that statement. I looked back towards the school and saw Julie running to William to let him know I was taken. He went into his super smoke form and began heading this way.
"Guys William incoming!" Jeremy yelled.
"Well time to use the transport portal." Yumi said. With that she handed a sphere to Ulrich who used his super sprint to run far ahead and he set the silver sphere on the ground and from it opened a portal to what I'm guessing is their base in America. Once we were through I took one last look at my home before the portal closed. I was now in the hands of the lyoko warriors, and I was terrified.
So what did you think. I got this idea a few days ago when I was on my way to Austin for the regional braille challenge. Now in case you're wondering Zen is from my season 5 series. Let me know what you think and I'll try to update it soon. Till then my fair readers… I bid you ado.
