Chapter One: The Beginning
This is the journal of Adrian Thomson, future Kadic Academy student for the 2016-2017 school year. It is June 1st, 2016 and I'm writing this to talk about the discovery I made today.
My parents sent me to go to Kadic Academy because they believed that it would be a great school for me. However, it is the summer, so I've moved my stuff into one of the dorm rooms and started living on the campus for the summer. However, there is not much to do on the campus and because it's the summer, there are not many other students here.
After a few hours of playing video games in my dorm on my laptop, I was getting really bored. So, I went to go check out the abandoned factory that is pretty close to our campus. I wander around the factory until I find the elevator. I stepped in the elevator and press the button that says 'Supercomputer'. It takes me down to a room where there was this giant supercomputer!
I find the switch and I decided to turn it on. Light came on as the supercomputer whirred back to life. I ran back to the elevator and pressed the button that said 'Lab'. When I got into the Lab, I saw a large computer with a chair near it. As I stepped near the computer, I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach; it was as if I could sense some danger in all of this. But, I tried to ignore this feeling as I sat down into the chair and started to read the information on the screen.
The data from the computer said that this supercomputer contained a virtual world called Lyoko and it had five sectors: Mountain, Desert, Forest, Ice, and Carthage (Sector 5). I was about to look up some more information about Lyoko until a chat window opened up on the screen. It looked like this:
Xanlita: I live! My creator's mission will be fulfilled!
I looked at the Lyoko id on the person that sent the chat. It showed that her name was Xanlita, her creator is XANA and her mission is to get out of Lyoko and take over the world! I was so scared and I didn't know what to do. So, I typed:
Human: Who is XANA?
Less than a minute later, Xanlita responds saying:
Xanlita: XANA is my creator! Now, you will help me get out of Lyoko and take over the world!
Whoever this XANA is, he/she sounds evil and since that person created Xanlita, she's evil too!
So, I said:
Human: I'll never help you! You'll be stuck on Lyoko forever!
Xanlita was not going to force me to do anything. I would never help her get out of Lyoko. Never!
I waited for Xanlita to respond and I clicked her Lyoko ID card and pressed the delete button, but I got an error message saying "Selected image cannot be deleted." Crap! I'll have to find another way to get rid of Xanlita.
Then, All of a sudden, this alert message came up saying that there was an activated tower in the Mountain Sector! So, I get out of the chair, run to the elevator, and pressed the button that said 'Scanner-Room'. When I reached the Scanner-room, I saw three scanners and then, I remembered that Lyoko is a virtual world and that I can virtualize myself there!
I ran back to the elevator, went back to the Lab, and when I got there, I somehow managed to set up a self-virtualization. It gave me 3 minutes to get to the scanner-room. When I reached the scanner-room again, I ran to a scanner in the middle and waited for it to close. When the scanner closed, lights in the scanner turn on and the lights started at my feet and came up to my head. Then, the lights flashed, and the next thing I knew, I was in the Mountain Sector.
It was so cool! The Mountain Sector looked like enormous, purple mountains that floated with clouds and a bit of fog. I also had a cool outfit: I was a black ninja! I had a sword and a digi-watch that shows me where the tower is, where I am, and how many life points I have.
The activated tower was north, so I started running. I could even feel pulsations coming from the activated tower. I was almost to the tower when I saw two big red creatures coming towards me! They looked like crabs and they each had four large, jointed scythe-like legs. Both of the Krabs (that's how I spell it since they're not normal crabs) started shooting at me, but I used my sword to block their lasers. Then, I said, "Super sprint!" and I ran around the Krabs really fast, sliced off both of their legs, and stabbed XANA's symbol (which was on their shells). The Krabs exploded and I super-sprinted all the way to the activated Tower.
However, when I reached the Tower, that's when I first laid eyes on Xanlita! Xanlita had gray skin, black hair, black eyes, pointed ears like an elf, and a black elf Lyoko outfit, and XANA's symbol on her forehead.
"You've made a big mistake coming here, human. I shall defeat you!" Xanlita said. She laughed and smiled an evil smile. Xanlita stood there glaring at me as if she were trying to intimidate me.
"You don't scare me that easily, Xanlita! I shall defeat you!" I said. I wasn't afraid of her.
The fight was on!
Xanlita aimed at me and yelled "Energy field!" A ball of dark energy came blasting towards me. I used my sword to block her attack and then I super-sprinted around her several times until I pierced her chest with the blade of my sword. Xanlita yelled "Nooooooo!" as she disappeared into a gust of black smoke.
Finally, I begin to head to the tower. The activated tower had a bright red color to it; I assumed that it only had that color if Xanlita did something to it. I ran inside the tower, stepped on the middle of the tower platform, and levitated to the top.
I pressed the Interface and typed:
Name: Adrian
Code: LYOKO
I said "Tower deactivated". After I stepped out of the tower, it had a blue color to it. I looked at my watch, pressed the button that said 'Materialization', waited, and a few minutes later, I was back in the scanner-room.
I was exhausted from being in Lyoko, so I went back to my room on campus and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was 5:00am. I was bored and I wanted to find out more about XANA and his creation and how he created Xanlita (I found out that XANA is a male from the data from the supercomputer).
I went back to the Lab and on the computer, there was this new program called Cortana. This is what the screen looked like:
Program ID: Cortana
Chat: Hello, my name is Cortana. I am here to assist you in our battling against Xanlita. Type anything you like and it will be done.
At first, I thought this was a trick by Xanlita herself, but somehow, I knew that it wasn't from Xanlita. The computer interface showed the face of a beautiful young woman with bluish skin and short, bluish hair. Since I thought that Cortana could help me destroy Xanlita, I typed:
Adrian: Xanlita will be destroyed.
However, Cortana responded back with:
Cortana: I am sorry, but Xanlita cannot be terminated as yet.
Damn! I thought the Cortana program could help me defeat Xanlita! But, I was actually glad that it didn't work because then I wouldn't have anything to do for the summer. It's June, so I have the whole summer to try and defeat Xanlita. I realized that I would also need some more powers to fight Xanlita and her monsters.
So, I started typing:
Adrian: On Lyoko, I will have the power to shoot lightning from my hands and the power to create force fields.
Cortana: New powers have been added to your Lyoko ID.
Cool! I started a self-virtualization to the Forest Sector to test out my new powers. I got to the scanner-room, went into the scanner in the middle and waited to be scanned. A few minutes later, I was in the Forest Sector.
The Forest Sector had a lot of trees and the ground was green because it was supposed to resemble grass.
To shoot lightning, all I had to do was concentrate, aim at what I wanted to shoot and shoot at it.
I was having fun practicing my new power until my Digi-watch beeped and said that there was an activated tower south of where I was. I super-sprinted to the activated tower, but then, I saw a swarm of Hornets flying towards me. All of them were shooting lasers at me and one of them hit me before I could use my force-field power to protect myself! I lost 20 life-points and I had 80 left. I had to be more careful.
I was getting so annoyed with the Hornets, so I shot lightning at all of them and super-sprinted to the activated Tower.
But, just like the last time, Xanlita was already there waiting for me!
I unsheathed my sword and prepared to fight.
"Your sword won't be any use to you, Adrian. You won't deactivate this Tower", Xanlita said.
I was shocked that she knew my name. But, I realized that she must have gotten it from the tower I deactivated in the Mountain Sector.
Then, Xanlita shot four energy fields at me! I blocked 3 of them with my sword, but the fourth one knocked my sword out of my hands!
"Ha, ha, ha! You've got nothing to fight me with, Adrian!" Xanlita said.
Xanlita prepared to blast me with another energy field, but I shot her with lightning. Xanlita fell off the edge of the Forest Sector. With her gone, I ran into the tower and deactivated it.
Afterwards, I materialized myself, got back to earth, and went back to my dorm room. It was 5:40am when I fell asleep.
Xanlita is choking me and lifting me up in the air. "You'll never defeat me, Adrian. Never!""
I woke up in shock and breathing really hard. It was nothing but a horrible dream, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up again, it was 8:50am.
I went to my laptop and using the link that I had with the supercomputer, I typed this to Cortana:
Adrian: If there is an activated tower and I get devirtualized before I can deactivate it, the tower will automatically be deactivated.
Cortana: update successfully added.
Yes!
I may not be able to delete Xanlita just yet, but with Cortana helping me, I'll be one step ahead of her.
In this moment, I became a Lyoko Warrior. I didn't know how, but I knew that my primary mission was: Defeat Xanlita!
