Chapter 1- Prologue
'WHOOSH!' An almost silent strike sounded through the air as a blade cut through it. The bearer narrowed her eyes in intent, and slashed at the air again. The wind sounded as the blade cut through the space, as if the air was trying to get away from the blade as fast as it could before it got hit. She smiled in satisfaction, and tested out the other blade. Hearing the whoosh again, Aelita smiled and attached the two blades at the hilt, forming an energy bow.
Pulling an energy string that connected the bow, she aimed, and fired at a tree in the forest region in Lyoko. An arrow, made of the stuff of dreams, hurtled through the air, and landed dead center in the tree, a soft 'whump' echoing through the region. On one wrist, there was a pink and purple star bracelet, a relic of her past life. On the other wrist, there was a black charm, a gift to her by XANA.
Aelita smiled in gratitude, seemingly at nothing and nobody. She was thinking of her master, XANA, who had picked her out from all of them, to be the strongest warrior he had ever had. The Lyoko warriors were not going to be a nuisance to him anymore, very, very soon. Aelita grinned evilly, and stowed her bow back in the bow carrying sack that was on her back. Lightly touching the black charm on her left wrist, she lightly glowed red before disappearing from Lyoko.
--Meanwhile--
Gasping, the man clawed his way to his feet, and he slowly made his way to the elevator that was positioned on the other side of the room. Summoning some of his remaining strength, he punched the top button- one of the only two buttons on the control panel. With a clanging noise, the elevator door slowly slid to the bottom, and the elevator sluggishly made it's way up, after years of disuse. Finally, the door opened again to reveal the computer Lab. Seeing a chair positioned near the supercomputer, he painfully made his way there, and collapsing on it.
