"Odd, slow down. You're always rushing ahead of everyone!"

Ulrich yelled after Odd as his friend zipped away on his hoverboard.

"I hate it when he does this, he always ends up in trouble when he goes off by himself."

"Yeah but Ulrich, think of it this way, now we have some peace and quiet."

Yumi said as the two of them followed Odds trail in the ice sector. It had been a quiet day in Lyoko, XANA hadn't been up to anything for a whole week and the gang was almost getting back into the swing of normal when Jeremie's super scan picked up XANA activity. Jeremy and Aelita had stayed in the computer room to figure out what XANA was planning. The readings from the scan had confused them both and so they sent the others to go investigate.

"It could be a new kind of monster we haven't seen yet."

Aelita offered as they looked at the string of code running across the screen.

"Could be but the size of it is enormous, it would take a lot of energy to make this thing and we haven't had any power shortages all week."

Jeremie reasoned as he pushed a few buttons bringing up the map to see how far the others had travelled since they had all been virtualized five minutes ago.

"Hey Einsteins can you tell me what I am supposed to be looking for?"

Odd yelled as he neared the end of the zone,

"Because I haven't found anything y-"

He was cut off by a huge sphere crashing down into the digital sea right in front of him. It made a wave of water that splashed over the ice and moved several icebergs out of the way.

"Found it."

He said flying in for a closer look. He could see there was XANA's symbol on it but he couldn't tell what it was.

"What do you see Odd?"

Jeremie asked.

"Well it looks like a super sized tank, but halfway through making it they forgot to add all the tank parts."

"So it's just a sphere with a XANA symbol on it."

Ulrich added as he and Yumi arrived.

"Is it still alive?"

Yumi asked as she looked at the sphere. The skin was becoming translucent and there was a shape forming inside of the sphere.

"Guys, there's somebody in there!"

Yumi yelled. The boys looked to where she was pointing and saw the outline of a person floating on the inside of the sphere.

"How is that even possible? That thing came from the digital sea, nothing can survive in the sea without protective coding."

The sphere began to shake and a single arm came out of the side. It opened it mouth and reached inside to pull out the person that was inside. It pulled out a young girl and then threw her towards the ice flow. Odd was the closest to her when the sphere launched her. He flew through the air and caught her before she hit the ground. She opened her eyes and looked at Odd. She tried to sit up but realized they were high off the ground.

"Woah! How did we get up here?"

She looked back to Odd,

"Who the heck are you? Put me down!"

She tried to get away from Odd but there was little wiggle room on the hoverboard.

"Hey would you quit moving! You're going to make us fall!"

Odd cried as, he had correctly predicted, they fell to the ground. Molly hit the ground hard and gasped as the air was knocked out her lungs. I can't remember how I got here. And I'd think I'd remember a cat boy. Molly got up and looked around at her surroundings. Snow? How did I end up in this crazy place? Her attention was grabbed by the sounds of fighting. She saw two more people fighting the giant sphere that had eaten her. One of the fighters was a boy dressed as a samurai and had a katana. He was riding a motor bike with one wheel and was doing all sorts of crazy stunts to land hits on the sphere. The other person was a slightly older girl wearing a kimono and was throwing fans at the sphere arms. Molly took this all in at once and was confused and excited,what the heck is all this? She looked at the cat boy and then to the sphere. It had moved out of the water and was dragging itself along the ground towards Molly. She reached behind her and then looked around, why'd I do that? She looked down at herself. And what am I wearing? She had forgotten momentarily about the monster headed her way and was surprised when a claw came down and grabbed her leg. She instinctively built up energy in her hands and sent the balls of energy at the monster. When they hit it made dents in the monster and it roared in anger, dropping her to the ground. How am I doing these things? I don't understand anything! Molly was confused. She didn't understand what had happened to her. The sphere swung an arm at Molly and she ducked. Ulrich came flying in on his motobike and cut off the arm. The arm flopped on the ground and then dissolved. The monster roared again and then made a sweeping motion at Molly. It caught her off guard and smashed into her ribs. She fell to the ground,

"Are you okay?"

Odd asked as he ran over and made to help Molly to her feet. Molly didn't move, her feet were disappearing. She looked at Odd,

"What's happening to me?"

"You are being devirtualized, its no big deal, it happens to me all the time. See you on the other side."

I'm disappearing! Help me! Was what Molly wanted to say but couldn't form the words. Her world went white and she felt like she was falling as air rushed past her face. When she landed it felt like all the blood rushed to her face at once. Her knees gave out immediately and she held out her hands to stop herself from falling. The doors in front of her opened and she fell out onto the floor. She laid there and breathed deep breaths. There was the sound of a door opening and a pink haired girl walked over to her and held out her hand.

"Are you okay? You look a little pale."

Molly tired to stand up but her legs gave out again and she sank into darkness.

"What are we going to do with her? She isn't from around here as far as I know."

"We should wait for her to wake up and then we can ask her."

"I have to go, my parents are going to wonder where I am if I take any longer. Call me when you decide what we are going to do."

There was a metallic noise followed by the sound of an elevator starting up as Molly woke up to the unfamiliar voices, she remembered what had happened and sat up.

"Oh hey you're awake, are you feeling better?"

The pink haired girl asked noticing Molly sit up and look around. They had made Molly a makeshift bed for her in the computer room. She thought the place looked familiar as her eyes focused on the super computer. A hand waved in front of her face snapping her focus back to the pink haired girl.

"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking how this computer room looks very familiar to me somehow."

"What's your name?"

Aelita asked, sitting down next to Molly and handing her a cup of water. Molly paused and then looked at Aelita surprised,

"I can't remember! I can't remember anything before waking up in the arms of a cat boy?"

When Molly had said the words out loud she thought that was ridiculous.

"There's no way that happened right? I must have dreamed that before waking up."

Aelita giggled,

"No that really happened. Odd would be a very weird thing to wake up to I guess."

Aelita stood up and walked over to the computer. Molly then noticed there was a person sitting behind the screen typing away at the keyboard.

"Any luck?"

"None, I can't find out why she was materialized in our world. There is nothing in her coding that would make it possible. Her coding is identical to how yours was before I created that program. The fact she lost all her life points should have meant permanent devirtualization. It's driving me nuts that I can't figure it out!"

"Don't sweat it Einstein, you'll figure it out after you eat something."

Odd said walking into the room from the elevator. Molly looked at him, he appeared almost the same as he did in the other world except he didn't have claws or a tail.

"What? Do I have something on my face?"

He asked Molly and she quickly looked away.

"Odd, don't embarrass her like that."

Ulrich chastised, he had been leaning against the far wall and now walked over to Molly.

"My name is Ulrich, you've already met Odd. That's Jeremie on the computer with Aelita and Yumi left just before you woke up. Do you have any memories before being in Lyoko?"

"Lyoko?'

Molly asked, the name felt familiar but she had heard that before.

"Yeah the place we were before here. We were all fighting a giant sphere monster."

"And you were inside that monster! It picked you out of it's teeth and threw you, it was a good thing I was there to catch you otherwise you would have devirtualized when you hit the ground. And then you used a power like Aelita's and then-"

"Okay Odd, I'm sure she can remember that on her own. Although that is something I wanted to ask you about, your powers that is."

Jeremie said from across the room. He hadn't even looked away from the computer.

"Your program is very similar to Aelita's in almost all respects and your situation as well."

Molly was about to ask when Aelita answered for her,

"I had amnesia when I first woke up on Lyoko and later we found out I was a guardian. You have similar powers so we think you are also a guardian, and the fact that you materialized in our world means you are a real person not just an AI program like me as well."

Molly looked at them, they are making less sense the more they talk.

"How do I get my memories back?"

She asked looking at the group. They all exchanged looks and then looked to Jeremy to answer the question.

"We would need to go to sector five to access XANA's memories and try to find out what he did to you and where you come from."

"Okay sounds easy enough, when do we start?"

Molly jumped to her feet and looked at the group. Odd smiled at her,

"We would like to do that as soon as possible but we have school and classes to go to today, so we can't really do anything until afternoon. Also it's almost breakfast and I'm starved."

Molly suddenly felt hungry to and realized she must not have eaten at all for a while. She held her stomach,

"I completely sympathize."

The group made for the elevator, but Jeremie stopped them.

"How are we going to explain her? We don't even know her name."

Molly then searched her pockets, finding an ID in her back pocket. She looked at it then gave it to Jeremie.

"No way, this must be a bad joke."

"What does it say Jeremie?"

Aelita asked peeking over his shoulder.

The ID read 'Molly Green' of Kadic Academy.

"This ID is all wrong though to be one of ours,"

Ulrich said as he showed his own ID for comparison.

"This could be an older ID from a couple of years ago, or a different Kadic Academy altogether."

Jeremie said handing the ID back to Molly.

"What do you mean by different?"

Molly asked.

"I mean you could be from another universe for all we know."

"Yeah right Einstein, I think the lack of food has gotten to your brain finally. Let's worry about this later, for now."

Odd declared and pushed the button for the elevator to take them up.
