It had been an ordinary morning for all of the Lyoko warriors. But of course Aelita was still getting used to being actually on earth. It's only been two weeks since she got out of Lyoko thanks to Code: Earth. She was quite overwhelmed by everything.

Odd and Ulrich saw nothing special in that day and neither did Yumi, Jeremie or Aelita. They weren't expecting any X.A.N.A attacks because the last one was only three days ago. All of them went to class normally thinking there wouldn't come any harm.

What? But the last attack was just a couple days ago, Jeremie thought when he heard his laptop beeping in his schoolbag. He signalled the others. Luckily the class was almost over so they didn't have to make any excuses for leaving class. Mrs. Hertz was slowly starting to suspect all their trips to the nurse.

"Is it an active tower?" Ulrich asked immediately after class. Jeremie nodded.

"Can't X.A.N.A. give us any free time? I mean, my shoulder's still kinda sore 'cause the ghost threw me to the wall three days ago," Odd said in his normal half joking way. Jeremie sighed. Why can't Odd be serious for once, he thought.

"Has someone called Yumi?" Aelita asked while they were running to the porthole leading to the factory.

"I sent a message. She'll be there," Jeremie answered.

They soon reached the factory and Jeremie virtualized them all to the Ice Sector. "The tower's to the northwest from you. I'll get you the vehicles," he instructed. The vehicles were something he programmed to make it easier to fight against X.A.N.A.

Soon Yumi showed up too. Jeremie virtualized her to Lyoko along with her vehicle, the overwing. She hurried after the others fast, slowly catching up.

"This is really weird," Ulrich said.

"What's weird?" Jeremie asked sounding a little bit concerned. He noticed nothing unordinary.

"Yeah Ulrich, what's the matter. I mean, there's no monsters," Odd said. Ulrich gazed at him.

"That's my point. If I know X.A.N.A., I'd say he wouldn't let us to the tower this easily. Something's wrong here," he pointed out. Odd saw it too now that Ulrich explained it.

"Ulrich's got a point. Be very cautious there", Jeremie said seriously. "I'll tell you right away, if I see something." But he still saw nothing and the tower was already in sight. What are you planning X.A.N.A., Jeremie wondered.

"Jeremie, we're almost at the tower and still no signs of any monsters. Do you see anything?" Aelita asked worried. "I see nothing. Could it really be that X.A.N.A. would let us deactivate the tower without putting up a fight," Jeremie said. "Come to think of it, there's still nothing going out here either."

They stopped to a safe distance to the tower. Even if they saw no monsters, one reckless move could get Aelita devirtualized. That would be the absolute worst thing to happen right now.

"I still see nothing. There are absolutely no monsters here," Odd said after looking around a few times. Yumi had also caught up to them. She too was a little stunned by the lack of resistance.

"I think I should just go to the tower. Maybe X.A.N.A. truly doesn't want to stop us, as weird as it sounds," Aelita said. The others agreed and she moves to the tower. She didn't rush since they still weren't sure if X.A.N.A. had a surprise for them. And actually, he had.

Aelita was already halfway to the tower when they saw someone come out of it. It was a girl with straight electric blue hair reaching to her lower back. She was dressed in a black tunic with widening sleeves reaching to her elbow. Her boots and tight trousers were also black. She also had wrist protectors, black as the whole suit was.

Her suit wasn't all black. The edges of her tunics skirt and sleeves were the same blue as her hair. She had the same colored belt too. In the middle of her chest there was a lightning symbol which was also electric blue. She was also somehow bursting with electricity.

"Jeremie, do you see this?" Aelita asked slowly backing away from the tower.

"I see it. But I have no idea what it is. Could you tell what it looks like?" Jeremie asked curiously.

"First of all, it's not what. It's who," Odd pointed out.

"She's a girl. She has blue long hair and a black outfit. I can't explain it but she seems somehow electric," Yumi told.

"I know right. I notice it too," Ulrich said.

"What should we so Jeremie?" Aelita asked.

"Does she have a weapon?" Jeremia asked them.

"Doesn't seem like it but you can never know for sure," Yumi answered.

"Is she coming towards you?" Jeremie asked. "Could you possibly try to talk to her?" he continued.

"She's just standing in front of the tower. She sure doesn't seem that chatty." Odd said. The others agreed.

"I'll go and talk to her," Aelita said and started to walk towards the tower again.

"No, Aelita. I'll go. What if she suddenly attacks? We can't take risks," Yumi said.

"I guess you're right," Aelita agreed and walked to Odd and Ulrich.

Yumi approached the mysterious girl. "Hi. Do you hear me?" she askes her almost sure that the girl would stay silent.

"I hear you. Actually I heard everything you said back there," the blue-haired girl answered to Yumi's surprise.

"Who are you? Do you know why you're here?" Yumi asked.

"Yes, I know exactly why I'm here," the girl answered.

"And the reason is...?" Yumi asked since she noticed that the girl wasn't going to continue the sentence.

"I could simply tell it," the girl started. "Or I could do this."

After saying that the girl lifted her hand a little and immediately a scythe appeared. It wasn't just any scythe. It emitted the same electricity as she did. The handle of it was black but the part where there should be a blade was like a lightning.

Before Yumi could move a muscle the girl struck her with the weapon that appeared a mere second ago. Yumi's points reduced from 100 to 0 in an instant. The next thing she saw was the scanner room.

"That wasn't so fair!" Odd yelled and dashed towards the girl shooting laser arrows like mad but she dodged some of them and the other she reflected with the scythe, with both the handle part and the lightning blade part.

This time the girl did not use her weapon to just hit her new opponent. She slid the tip of the lightning blade on the ground. Something similar to a megatank's laser attack but this was like an electic wall and so, much harder to dodge. Odd had no time to move out of it's way.

He was struck by it and he fell on the ground. The hit cost him only 20 life points so he still wasn't close to devirtualizing. The hit from the wall did leave him a bit dazed. Before he could do nothing five similar walls came at him. Each one threw him a bit back and after getting hit by four his points were at 0. He soon joined Yumi in the scanner room.

"I'll distract her while you get to the tower, okay," Ulrich whispered to Aelita. He hadn't joined Odd's earlier attack since he thought it was more important to make sure Aelita was fine.

"Got it," Aelita responded.

"You kind of answered one of Yumi's question earlier but you said nothing to the other one," Ulrich said to the girl, while Aelita was slowly sneaking to the tower.

"My name's Olivie," she answered calmly and bowed fake politely.

"I'm Ulrich and I'm guessing that I'm your enemy," he responded.

"Sure looks like it," Olivie said. "You care to fight with me? Should be fun. Since the first one, Yumi I like you said, didn't stand a chance and the boy in purple didn't know what was coming. It wasn't so fair to them but you'll get a fair fight. What do you say?"

It have a feeling like she's only toying with me but I'll have to fight to at least keep her busy until Aelita get to the tower. And I can't do anything about my eagerness to fight against her, Ulrich thought. "Fine then. We'll fight", he declared.

The fight began. While Olivie had no trouble blocking Ulrich's sword he was having problems dodging her scythe. He managed to not get hit by it but he had to give it his all if he wanted to continue like that. I can't beat her but I'll just be angry at myself if I don't try, he thought and continued the fight.

"You seem a bit tired. Wanna give up?" Olivie asked with a clear mockery to her voice.

"Me? Tired? You're seeing things," Ulrich said even though he knew Olivie was right. Aelita got the tower deactivated but the fight still continues in full swing.

"You already failed. The tower's been deactivated so why do you keep on fighting?" Ulrich asked.

"I'm not the kind of person to leave a fight unfinished. We'll see who wins. Plus, the meaning of this was only to get you all to Lyoko. You see, X.A.N.A. didn't want to take any risks on a real situation so you could say this was only for practice," Olivie said with a small grin on her face.

"I have other things to do so let us end the fight here," she continued and at that instant she got the hold of Ulrich's sword with her scythe and threw it away.

"It was a pleasure fighting with you my lady," Ulrich said with a hint of joke in his voice.

"The pleasure was all mine," Olivie answered in the same manner and devirtualized him with a fast strike.

The practice went very well and it seems you enjoyed it a lot, a voice echoed inside Olivie's head. "You're right it was fun fighting with them. But I still don't get why I'm fighting them. They seemed like nice people and I'm kind of lonely here," she said. After all the things I've done for you I don't want to hear anything like that ever again, understood. "Please forgive me. I won't let my feelings get to me again. So yes, I understood... X.A.N.A."

Thanks for reading the first chapter of my first ever story here. Please give feedback, I'm eager to know what you all think about it. The next chapters will probably be longer and I will be releasing the next one quite soon I think. Until then! :)
