A/N: Here comes the next chapter R&R (I'm not very good at battle sequences so I'm sorry for the crummy fights)
To, casrules401:Neither Franz nor Anthea have blue hair so tha woulden't make sense.
To, Doctorwho9000: Thanks and don't worry, I will.
Program Genesis
"I'll join you guys on Lyoko this time." Alex said as they took the elevator to the scanners.
"If your half as powerful as you say you are, this'll be cake!" Odd said.
"You must've misunderstood me, or did I forget to mention that I still spent most my time in the tower on Carthage."
Odd paled slightly, "Yeah, actually, you did!"
"Focus you guys!" Jeremy said, "You can play 'You should have mentioned that' later. Now get in the scanners."
Alex and was one of the first along with Ulrich and Odd.
"Scanner: Alex, scanner: Ulrich, scanner: Odd. Transfer: Alex, transfer: Ulrich, transfer: Odd. Virtualization."
Alex, Ulrich, and Odd landed side by side in the forest sector, soon followed by the girls. They all took a moment to take in Alex's outfit. He wore a full red coat that when down to his ankles with black leather shoulder guards, a black shirt, black pants, black boots, and red gloves. His hair was neck length and spiked at the bottom, and in his hand was red bladed rapier. The cross-guard was highly detailed and the blade was about three-and-a-half feet long.
"Hey, not bad." Yumi said.
"Same to you." Alex said respectfully.
Ulrich felt a pang of jealously for a moment, but brushed it off.
"Stay sharp guys, you got monsters headed your way."
"Finally some excitement!" Alex said.
Two Tarantulas and two Krabs appeared from the trees.
Alex smirked, "Super sprint!" with speed like Ulrich's he took down a Krab and a Tarantula almost instantly.
"Impact!" Ulrich said as he finished the other Krab and Odd took out the tarantula with a laser arrow.
"Nice work guys. I'm sending your vehicles, Alex?"
"Overboard."
Their vehicles materialized and they hoped in, Aelita hitching a ride with Alex this time. Alex's overboard was plain silver and didn't have cat face on it. Alex, unlike Odd stood perfectly erect when on the overboard.
"You look more like you should be riding an overwing." Odd commented.
Alex simply smirked and kept going.
"So Jeremy, what is the attack?" Yumi asked.
"I'm not sure."
"I see it alright." Ulrich said, "And the words, 'abort mission come to mind."
"How bad can it be?"
"I count four Megatanks, two Krabs, two Trantulas, and a Scyphozoa."
"Oh no! There's no way you five can survive all that!"
"Don't worry Jeremy," Alex said, "I have a plan. Aelita, how many decoys can you create at a time?"
"So far I've only tried one."
"Try to create at least two. They will distract the Scyphozoa. Yumi, you take care of the Trantulas, Ulrich, the Krabs, Odd and I will deal with the Megatanks. Aelita, take my overboard and wait until the monsters are distracted, then approach from an angle they're not occupying."
"That might actually work!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Aelita and Alex hopped off his board as Aelita kneeled and vocalized, then a second Aelita appeared near the tower.
As they approached everyone saw what ten years on Lyoko had done to Alex. He dodged the Megatanks attacks with ease and blocked lasers from other monsters with grace. All that time on Carthage had left him skilled and battle hardened. Suddenly his left hand began to glow with fire and as one Megatank opened up he shot a fire ball at the eye, knocking backwards and it rolled of the edge.
"Okay, that was cool." Odd said.
"Thank you."
After that it got harder, but the Scyphozoa took the bait and Aelita found an opening and she took out the tower.
"So, what was the attack?" Ulrich asked.
"I don't know, but, I do have an idea on a quicker way to find Aelita's anti-virus." Jeremy said.
"I don't think it's a virus." Alex said.
"What do you mean?"
"Even after Alex told me everything, I only remember bits and pieces." Aelita said.
"X.A.N.A. didn't give her anything," Alex said, "He stole her memories of her life before Lyoko."
"Of course!"
At breakfast the next morning…
"Looks like we have the same class sis." Alex said.
"That's great, not only does it mean we get to spend more time together, it'll make it easier to alert each other of X.A.N.A. attacks."
Then someone said, "Oh Ulrich dear!" Alex looked up to see a black haired girl with a pink midriff shirt, a maroon miniskirt, and purple pants walk up to them, followed by a dumb faced blonde and a black haired, zit faced dork in a sweater vest and round glasses.
"What do you want Sissi?" Ulrich asked, clearly annoyed.
"Who's this?" she asked, gesturing to Alex.
"He's my brother," Aelita said, "He enrolled yesterday."
"So miss big brain has a brother. Are a big brain to?"
Alex, easily figuring out that this girl was brain dead, decided he'd rather not humor her.
"Hey! I asked you question! Are brain dead or deaf?"
Aelita got up to put her tray way and said, "I think he's afraid the he'll become brain dead if he talks to you."
Then, for the first time, they saw Sissi lose her temper, "Shut up! You think your better then me just cause you smart!" she pushed Aelita to the ground. Aelita landed hard on her face, as she sat up, her nose was bleeding and she started to cry.
Alex grabbed Sissi by the collar of her shirt and pinned her against the wall, "If you dare to touch my sister again, I swear I'm gonna hurt you!"
"Stones!" Jim said, pulling him off of Sissi, "What's the meaning of this?" he demanded.
"She hurt my sister!" Alex said, pointing at Aelita. Jeremy was helping her up, she was still crying, and as she was holding her nose, a little blood was on her sweater and the ground.
"What happened?"
"Sissi pushed Aelita to the ground and she hit hard." Yumi explained, "Alex was just being protective over his sister."
Jim seemed to be debating about what to do, "I'll let it slide this time Stones. Don't let it happen again."
Alex nodded, then he took Aelita to then infirmary.
"There's nothing to worry about," Yolanda said, "You nose isn't broken or anything, you'll be fine."
"Thanks nurse." Aelita said.
Yolanda looked at Alex, his face full of concern for Aelita, "That took guts, threating Miss Delmas."
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"The girl you threatened Mr. Stones is Elizabeth Delmas, the principal's daughter. Sissi is her nick name."
"Oh."
"What's her deal?" Alex asked the others after classes were over.
"She despises us, especially Yumi." Jeremy said.
"I knew that Einstein! I'm asking why?"
"Sissi has eyes for Ulrich, but he only has eyes for Yumi. And she's just plain mean." Aelita told him.
"And the drones?"
"Herb and Nicolas, her lackeys." Ulrich said.
"Herb tries to start fights with Ulrich sometimes cause Herb likes Sissi." Odd mentioned.
"Well," Jeremy said, "I'm off to the factory, got to decode Franz Hopper's diary."
Alex shoot up, "You found my dad's diary!?"
"Yes. I also downloaded it onto the supercomputer."
"I can help you decode it! In fact, some of it I made myself!"
"Really?"
They ran off.
"We won't be seeing them for a few hours." Odd said, "Well, I'm off to Alex's room, he said I can play his PS3 whenever I want, 'Bioshock' here I come!"
"I better get going before I miss the bus to the pool. She you at martial arts class later." Yumi said to Ulrich, "Later." He said.
"Program G." Jeremy said. It was dinner and they were in the cafeteria.
"Huh?" Ulrich asked.
"Me Alex discovered something called program G, program Genesis."
That caught Aelita's attention, "Program Genesis…I've heard that before, Fra-…Dad mentioned it." She was still getting used to the fact that Franz Hopper was her father.
"I know." Alex said, "I think that with it we might be able to find him."
"Really?" Aelita asked, it sounded too good to be true.
"Yes, however…the data is encrypted and incomplete."
Aelita's face fell.
"Cheer up princess." Ulrich said, "Well find it, and bring your father back."
Aelita smiled, "Thanks Ulrich."
"Hey Yumi!" William called.
"William?"
"Who's that new friend of yours I saw?"
"Alex Stones, he's Aelita's brother."
"Why is he only showing up now?"
"He was already at a different school, but he got kicked out."
"What for?"
"Contraband, later."
"So, what now?" Yumi asked, they were all in Jeremy's room.
"Well, somehow, we have to find the rest of the data for program Genesis." Jeremy said
"Carthage." Alex said.
"Right, of course! X.A.N.A. should have the data we need!"
"Then what the hell are we waiting for?" Odd said, "Let's go to the factory and bring back Aelita's father!"
"Alright, let's go!"
"Alright, your all going to Sector 5, I'm entering the code Scipio."
Everyone was already at the edge of the sector. The transporter came and picked them up.
"Alright everyone, you got 1 minute to trip the key, go!"
When they got to the key room, it was a large empty space this time. "There's the key!" Yumi said, pointing to the celling.
"I'll get it," Alex said, "Check this out., hyper jump!" he suddenly jumped about 20 feet in the air, then he threw his sword at the key, but it was knocked off course by a laser. "Creepers!"
"Laser arrow!" Odd said, ten creepers appearing out of the walls.
"I hate Creepers!" Alex said.
"Alex!" Ulrich said, "Keep trying! We'll the creepers busy, impact!"
Alex nodded, "Hyper jump!" he jumped and threw his sword, this time it hit it's mark. "Perfect." They went down the corridor, got on the lift and got to where Aelita could acquire the data.
"Okay, I'm looking for the file."
"Uh, princess," Odd began, "Not to be pushy, but the Mantas are hatching."
"Nice," Alex said, "I was getting bored." He then said, "Empower!" and he ran his hand along his sword. As he did it began to glow with red energy. "Let's go! Hyper jump!" and he leaped at the mantas killing one instantly as Yumi threw her fans and Odd shot laser arrows.
"I found the file! I'm sending you the data Jeremy!"
"I've got it! I'm sending your vehicles."
"Let's go!" Aelita said, hopping onto an overboard with Alex.
"Alright! Yeah! WooHooooooo!" Odd cheered.
"Alright Jeremy spill it." Yumi demanded, "Exactly what the hell is program Genesis?"
"It's still encrypted. I'll need time to decipher it."
"Alright, let's go back and get some sleep."
"You go, I'll start decoding."
Aelita tapped him on the back of the head, "Un-uh, it's a school night."
"I'm doing this for you Aelita. I have to-!" he shut up as Aelita kissed him on the cheek.
"Alright." He got up and headed for the elevator. As he did, Aelita whispered to Alex, "Works every time."
