Hello! This is another story I will be writing with Silph Co Academy! For those who call me insane... Well I am. I didn't want to focus all the time into one story so I decided to work on two. Tell me what you guys think!


"Italics" Past/Memory

Location? Time?

"What do you think?"

"I am not sure how he is going to pull through."

"Is there anyway to save him?"

"Probably not... It is very unlikely to heal that amount of damage."

"Oh no..."

"Let's put him in the scanner... See if he could survive in that world."

"That's too risky! Especially with the others..."

"Send them too!"

Lyoko Mountain Sector

At first my body felt like it just got hit by a train, got shot, and implied with a spear times 20. It was in so much pain I couldn't imagine how I was alive. After a while though I was able to move my right hand see that it wasn't normal... Why was it all-digital?

"Where am I?" I asked myself as I looked around and saw only mountains. "Either I am dreaming or I am in a virtual world. Wow..." How I got here though... Gosh that was a mystery.

I looked at my attire that I was dressed in very quickly before realizing that I looked pretty decent. I had jet-black robes and a red pattern drawn on the bottom half. I instinctively reached for a weapon and realized I had two. I had double swords (Of course I would) and bow and arrow that were able to shoot three arrows (Awesome). Before I could analyze my weapons further I was greeted with getting shot in the back by a crab.

"Man XANA! Come on I just got here! Wait what is XANA?" I yelled as the crab didn't let up and kept firing shots at me. I got hit with a few more lasers and finally got some cover behind some rocks.

"Man it hurts way more than I thought getting shot! That thing! Is that what we call a crab?" I thought to myself. Realizing that the crab was still there I decided to approach it by getting to the top of the tree. I quickly stood still focusing and remembering that this world was virtual. I sprinted up as fast as I could and fired two arrows straight into the eye of the crab as it exploded.

"Alright first monster down! But how did I do that?" Pumping my fist into the air. Then quickly seeing that XANA wasn't going to let me go that easily. As I heard the wings of the hornets I quickly ran as fast as I could away from them.

"Shoot! These guys are persistent! I need some place to hide!" I thought to myself. About three clicks away I saw a neutral tower. Well it is better than nothing I guess. As I ran though a hornet was able to shoot me and I went sliding into the tower. Once in the tower I was able to catch my breath and not to mention my thoughts. Finally regaining some composure I was able to think again.
"The fact that those lasers hurt so much means this probably isn't a dream. Once more I don't really remember too much about what happened to me. I do know my name but some of my memories I can't remember. But, I know something about this world. At least I remember the names of those monsters. But besides that..." I spent the next hour in meditation. I always remember Tai chi and my martial arts classes so it was good to clear my mind and also if I could remember anything then it would be better than nothing. After that I went outside the tower to see if anything had happened. It was all-quiet on Lyoko and I decided it was time for me to get some examine my weapons.

From what I saw my swords were standard katana blades. Thank god for Kendo. And I looked at my dagger and saw it's fine finish on the end of the dagger. But I looked at the reflection of the dagger and noticed I had silver hair. It was odd but I ran with it. Finally I looked at my bow and saw the three slots that I could my arrows from. "I will have to get used to three. I could shoot only two before and I got lucky."

"Those arrows are custom made for you."

"Huh? What was that?" I thought to myself. I then looked at my quiver and saw that there were different colored arrows. There was a red arrow, blue arrow, green arrow, white arrow,silver arrow, and a mysterious black arrow. I shot each one and saw that it was fire, ice, wind, and normal arrows. With the black one though I couldn't seem to figure out what it did. So I left that one alone. I could only fire two at once and was able to combine a few of them.

"I wonder what would happen if I fired all three. But that is another day." I spent a few more hours firing arrows and practicing. What was annoying is that I had to keep going back into the tower and wait to refill the arrows.

"I will have to hope that someone will find me. Time to get some exercise though. And find some people." I exited the tower and started to sprint around the mountain sector. I made it another neutral tower and slowly entered into it. Of course nothing was to be found in the tower. I sighed slightly hoping that it would have been that easy.

As I exited the tower I had a chill go down my spine. Then I sensed something very strong in the ground. It was almost like eruptions on the ground.

"It looks like those are Pulsations. Huh? It's another thing I just blurted out. Well hopefully they will lead me to people. And they are close too."

I started sprinting and followed the pulsations, which lead me across the entire sector. On a flat plain I saw the monsters that were guarding something. Behind them I saw it. An activated tower pulsing red.

"Two mega tanks and three crabs. Another thing I have no idea about. That tower is bad news. I don't even need my memories to notice that it is bad. But I have no idea how powerful they are. All I know is there names. Since I seem to have memories of them I think I will let my body just react to them."

I stood still for a moment... Then a crab fired a laser at me and I began to react. I sprinted quickly and fired a set of wind and fire arrows to create a fire tornado. It picked up one of the Mega tanks and sent it flying into the digital void. The other mega tank was able to dodge and charge a laser beam heading straight towards me. While the three crabs were damaged but not enough to stop them from advancing and preparing their lasers. I was able to dodge but I wasn't able to dodge the three lasers that hit me straight into my chest. I was blasted backwards and hit a rock hard.

"Why.. does... It... hurt...so...much?" I groaned. I was hit with three lasers shots straight to the chest. Plus the pain with three shots was way worse than I had ever felt. But I found the strength to stand up. I decided it was time for another set of arrows. Time for a little distraction. I loaded a fire and ice arrow firing them to create a smokescreen that engulfed the tank and three crabs. With no visual sight of their target the crabs were standing waiting for their prey to show up. However two of the crabs were unlucky as I stabbed one with my twin swords and pierced the other one with my spare dagger. I jumped off and the two crabs were down.

"Only two left... But man I am exhausted. "I didn't have much left in me and there were still two monsters waiting for me. I decided to go all or nothing. I recklessly charged towards the crab and was able to put one of my swords through it. But the crab was able to shoot my arm and I was blasted backwards. I cried in pain and knew that the next hit I was finished. There was still one Mega tank left and it was charging a blast that was heading right towards me. I tried to get up but my knees buckled. I knew I wasn't able to dodge the blast so I sat there, awaiting the blast. Then all of a sudden I hear a cry that I never would have expected.
"Laser arrows!"

The tank was blown backwards before it exploded and the shock wave pushed me backwards a little. But I wasn't able to worry about that for long as I passed out right there on the floor.

Lyoko Tower- A few hours after.
I woke up in what looked like a tower. It was very weird to be sleepy but the pain must have just made me pass out and I don't think my body was used to it. Then I realized was saved by someone. I was thankful for that. If I had taken more shots then I didn't want to think about what would have happened. I then started to think about the battle.

"Looks like I still have a ways to go... After my fire tornado the crabs were still able to land three shots on me. I shouldn't have thought that got all of them. Whatever this XANA is... It is strong. And he is only going to continue to get stronger. Which means I have to make more combinations..."

"Excuse me...," a soft voice suddenly said.

I looked up quickly to see that that a girl with pink hair was in front of me. Pink hair huh? Well I had silver hair so I guess it isn't too out of place. At least I found someone else in this universe.

"Hello how are you doing?" I asked politely.

"Hello to you too. I am doing well. Thank you for asking." Aelita said, somehow more politely than me. "But who are you?"

"Ah forgive me. My name is Michael Roberts. You probably don't know me... But honestly I have no idea how I got here. I only have some memories of the real world. But it's hazy. What is important is where I am from, some memories of school, remember my martial arts, a thing called XANA, and the monsters that I keep encountering in this world." I explained.

" Wait you know what XANA is?" Aelita asked.

"I only know of it. When I encountered a crab I was able to identify it. I also found a very red tower. Something about the tower just seemed off to me. Is there anyone else here?" I asked.

"Well I do have friends outside in the real world. I will contact him after class and then we gather the others." Aelita said.

"Class huh? Man I just get tired from hearing about class. Let's head outside the tower then. I need to stretch my bones out and get familiar with this place."

We both exited the tower and I realized we were in a different place from the mountains. We were in the Ice sector. We walked for a few minutes and I broke the silence.

"So what's your name?" I asked.

"Aelita." She responded calmly.

"Pretty name. I like that name. It sounds very noble." I responded truthfully. Out of the corner of my eye I couldn't help but see she blushed a little at that comment.

"Why don't you tell me a little more about yourself? We have some time before everyone gets here." Aelita said with some amount of reason behind it. I thought about it for a minute. But then I grinned and decided no.

"But then I would have to explain it to whoever your friends are! That's a lot of work for someone who can't even remember how they got here." I liked messing around with people. It was playful and definitely made it less awkward.

"You act just like Odd." Aelita said giggling to herself.

"Who's this Odd?" I asked curiously.

"He is a friend of mine. He was the one who saved you from the tank." Aelita explained.

"Odd huh? Sounds like he can be funny." I laughed to myself. "Well I am playful but I can be super serious as well. I like helping others but will not forgive those who betray my friends. It's just my nature and I hope that everyone is able to accept that. I have a question for you though. How much of my battle did you see?" I asked curiously.

Aelita looked a bit nervous before she answered. "After the first Mega tank went into the digital void."

"So you saw it then? This strange power and weapons I have..." I looked at my swords and bow.

"I wish I was able to of some use to my friends..." Aelita now staring at the ground. Now seeing her all down like this made me feel a bit guilty.

"Hey don't be too down on yourself. I am sure your friends don't think about you like that at all." I then patted her on the back to reassure her that it was true. This made her feel a bit easier and it made me feel better.

"Yeah you are right." Aelita said truthfully.

"Now is there anything other questions for me? " I asked.

"So where are you from? I'm assuming you're from France?" Aelita asked.

"Well from what I remember yeah. I was born in Korea and moved here to France for a long time. I was going to go back to Korea though. France is still my home." I explained.

"I see. Well there isn't too much information on the outside world. As far as school subjects are concerned I'm pretty well taught. But things like geography, history, and others still need some work." Aelita explained to me.

"I'm sure there are some things you could teach me as well. Although I only remember the basics. But we'll save that stuff for later. After all I am sure that we will have a lot of time together considering I will not be getting out of here anytime soon. Give me some pointers for stuff okay lita?" I said with a bit of confusion on my face. I didn't mean to nickname her it just came naturally. But I rolled with it anyways. "What do you think of the nickname?"

"Nickname? You basically just made my name shorter by two letters." Aelita said with a giggle.

"Ah come on! I gave you a nickname at least! Didn't say it was really that clever." I sighed but Aelita was now on her knees laughing. I smirked and laughed as well. It was good to have these moments when you aren't fighting monsters. Aelita picked herself back on to her feet and motioned to continue moving.

"My friends should be done with classes. Let's head to the tower. It shouldn't be far from here." Aelita said now picking up the pace.

"Sure thing. Let... Ugh!" I felt lightheaded as one of my knees buckled to the ground.

Aelita now looking worried in shock rushed over to help me up. I quickly held a hand showing that I was okay.

"Maybe we should rest up first." Aelita said now looking straight into my eyes.

"No I am fine. It's just I felt a disturbance." I explained hoping that she would calm down. It was a feeling I had when I exited the tower before I sensed pulsations. It couldn't be...

"Aelita let's get going. I don't want to stay out here in the open like this." I decided not to tell Aelita that I had this strange sensation. And from what I could tell she couldn't see that I was lying or trying to shake off any pain.

"You are right. Let's get moving." Aelita said willingly.

As we rushed through the ice sector I noticed that this section of the sector was very flat. I saw the tower despite us being very far away from it. This was too easy not to mention too quiet... I put a hand out and we came to a stop.

"What's wrong Michael?" Aelita questioned.

"This is too easy. I just having a feeling that some monsters are about to pop up. Be on your guard." I explained. Something was very wrong. I thought we would have come across at least a few monsters. But there were not any to be seen. I pulled out my bow and we slowly walked towards the tower. Then almost on cue 4 bloks came rising out of the ground.

"Aelita watch out! Here comes the welcoming party!" I yelled.

Since the plain was so flat, I didn't have any place for Aelita to hide. Meaning I would have to defend her on my own. It would be almost impossible with blocks on four sides of her. I had to get out of there fast. I put my fire and ice arrows into my bow. I fired them to create a smokescreen for the 4 blocks. We tried to run away but we didn't cover enough ground. Two Bloks shot ice beams at us and our legs were frozen.

"Can't...Move!" Aelita said struggling to get out. I quickly shot two fire arrows and we freed ourselves out of the ice. But the blocks were slowly closing the distance. I picked Aelita up and we started running from the bloks.

"Shoot! I can't do another smokescreen or else we would be blind too! How can we get away from these guys?"

"Wrong! Try it again!"

"What was that? A memory?" I thought to myself.

"You need to really concentrate! Firing these arrows isn't just for show. They can really help in a tight spot. Now let's go over this again. Take your silver arrow and fire it where you want to be." A mysterious voice said.

"What that's so lame!"

"Come on you have to! It is really helpful."

"Fine! Fire the arrow..."

"HERE!" I fired the silver arrow as it hit right in front of the tower. And all of a sudden Aelita and I appeared where the arrow landed.

"How did you...?" Aelita asked.

"Don't know. I had a memory. Let's head inside before any more monsters spawn." I said nearly out of breath.

After entering the tower I holstered my bow on my back and rested for a little before Aelita had finally got into touch with a friend of hers.

"Aelita? What's up? XANA attacking again?" The figure asked curiously.

"Yes. But he didn't activate a tower. He tried to set a trap but we managed to quickly get away from it before he sprung it." Aelita explained.

"We?" The figure asked not understanding what she meant by that. Aelita then motioned for me to get in front of the screen so Jeremy could see me. I gave him a friendly smile and made a peace sign.

"Hello." I said in a polite and kind way.

"Hello. I see you have wakened up after your little run in with some monsters. You took quite a bit of damage. My name is Jeremy. From what I saw though I am amazed that you didn't get devirtualized." Jeremy explained.

"I would have been gone forever if Odd didn't jump in and destroy that Mega tank for me." I told him in a truly grateful way. If they hadn't come when they did, I would have been lost forever.

"No. If anything we should be thanking you. Odd was the only one there after Ulrich got devirtualized by a Mega tank. If you didn't destroy those other monsters Odd might have not had such an easy time. Give yourself more credit. You saved Aelita and Odd in a way." Jeremy said with some gratitude. "But for starters who are you?"

"My name is Michael Roberts. And for the time being I have no idea who I am. I only have some, home, martial arts, and this XANA thing. But I have nothing besides that..."I explained." This took Jeremy by a bit of surprise.

"Here we had a man who destroyed XANA monsters but had no experience with them. It must have been on instincts," Jeremy thought to himself.

"Jeremy I think we should introduce him to the others don't you think? He is just like me. No memories on how he got to Lyoko but still has some on his time on earth." Aelita asked.

"Alright but we will have to do this soon it's getting late and we have some tests tomorrow. I am sure everyone would be curious to see who you are." I saw then Jeremy left his room. After he left I decided to go back and lie down. Well I would have if Aelita weren't looking at me with some amount of concern.

"What's up? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked jokingly.

"Well it's just... You are such a stranger to me, yet I don't feel threatened. I feel like we have been friends for a while now." Aelita said with a smile that practically pierced the heart.

"Thanks Aelita. I really do appreciate the comment." I said smiling back. "Anything else you wanted to ask?"

"Yeah actually. How old are you?" Aelita asked.

"Hmmm I think 12 years old?" I responded struggling to remember. "How about you?"

"I think I am 12 as well." Aelita responded. "But I am not quite sure either."

"Well when we get back to earth then we will find out okay?"

"Yeah. Thanks Michael. We will find out for you as well."

"Hey you guys there?" Jeremy asked.

"Yes Jeremy we are here." Aelita said. We both approached the computer screen and I saw three other figures were there.

"HEY I REMEMBER THIS GUY! IT'S THE ONE I SAVED FROM THE MEGA TANK!" Odd yelled in a state of panic. A male figure told Odd to shut it while a Japanese girl and Jeremy were staring at me.

"Well for starters my name is Michael Roberts. I don't know any of you except for Jeremy and Odd. As for how I got here... I have no memory of it. I have some memories regarding my past but they are hazy." I responded.

"Well from what I saw you knew what you were doing out there you looked likes a natural. I am Odd! Odd Della Robbia! Hey guys don't you think he looks a little bit of a freaky with that silver hair though?" Odd jokingly proclaimed.

"Ha-ha very funny Odd. He looks fine. I am Ulrich. It is nice to meet you Michael." Ulrich said.

"Yeah-nice going Odd. You are going to fit in I think. My name is Yumi. What are you by the way Michael?"

"Korean. Japanese?" I responded.

"You got it. It is finally nice to meet someone that is different around here." From what I saw Ulrich was somewhat angry at this statement. Strange indeed.

"Well what do you think guys? We should put it to a vote." Jeremy asked the group.

"Wait what is happening?" I asked.

"Well to put you in our group! We saw we you did already and we want you to join us!" Jeremy explained. "All in favor!" I then saw four hands signaling that I was in the group.

"Welcome to the gang!" Aelita said with huge smile.


What did you think? Stay tuned because chapter 2 will be coming out later this week! Also posting this during my English class! I don't think he will mind too much though. Until next time! Backstaber789 OUT!
