Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko. I do own the story, Lacey, Arielle, Luke, Mark, Tanya, Chris, Bella and Lachlan.
This chapter introduces Bella Delmas and Lachlan Dunbar. They won't be in the story much, but they may pop up here and there.
Chapter 3
That Deja Vu Feeling
"We're here!" Odd called from the driver's seat. The kids got out of the limo to see a mass of kids looking at them, wondering who they were and why they were riding in a limo. As they started walking into the school grounds, a girl with black hair came trotting up to them.
"Who do you think you are?" the girl asked snappily.
"Well I know that I am Angel Belpois and this is my cousin Mark Belpois and my other friends Tanya and Chris Stern and Arielle and Luke Della Robbia," came Angel's witty reply.
"Well I'm Bella Delmas and I already know that I don't like you!" Bella yelled. She noticed Chris. "Except you." Bella gave Chris a wink and stormed off.
"In your dreams Barbie!" Chris yelled after her. He shuddered. "I hope that's not going to be a problem."
"If she gets anywhere near you again I'll punch her in the face!" Tanya exclaimed, punching her fists in the air to demonstrate.
They all laughed. "Thanks sis, but I'm the older sibling here," Chris laughed.
Tanya scowled at him. "Yeah, by three minutes and twenty seven seconds!"
"But I'm still older!" Chris argued.
They made their way to the principal's office and got their dorm room numbers. The girls shared a dorm room and the boys shared a dorm room. The girls were downstairs while the boys were upstairs. The rooms were exceptionally bigger than they had been when their parents had been there.
Two hours later
Arielle had finished unpacking and was now walking across the campus looking at her story papers. As she was walking she didn't see the stick that was lying on the ground and tripped over it. A boy saw the trip and helped her up.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'll be fine," Arielle reassured him.
"I'm Lachlan Dunbar by the way," he introduced.
"I'm Arielle Della Robbia," Arielle replied.
"Nice to meet you." Lachlan smiled. Arielle smiled back.
Chris had seen the whole thing from the window and felt …upset. He didn't know why, he just did.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling noise coming from underground. The ground began to shake and suddenly parted. Students began to run away, getting out of the buildings and fleeing across the campus. Arielle started to run, but she wasn't fast enough. She fell between a gap in the ground and held on with her arms.
"Lachlan!" She cried.
He turned around. "Sorry, you're on your own!" He yelled above the trembling earthquake. He turned back around and ran away.
Arielle felt the grip with her arms loosen and she started falling. She closed her eyes and bravely fell to her death…
She opened one eye, then the other. She wasn't falling anymore. She looked up and saw Chris holding her hand. He pulled her up and they ran to the others. They all ran away together.
At the mansions
"This can't be Xana!" Jeremie yelled over the noise.
"We have to go check!" Aelita shouted back.
"What's Xana?" Lacey asked. The others exchanged glances.
"Come with us!" Odd exclaimed.
They all ran towards the factory. When they got down to the control room, they filled Lacey in. They all went into the scanners, including Lacey. Jeremie virtualized Odd, Yumi and Ulrich, then Lacey and Aelita.
Lacey landed flat on her face. She stood up and looked down at herself. She had a black, white and silver dress with black tights underneath. She could make water drops and throw them at monsters.
"Cool," she thought out loud.
In the forest
"We can't out run it! It's too powerful!" Angel exclaimed.
"She's right! There's no way we can get away from this in time!" Mark agreed.
"It's like it's only heading towards us now!" Luke yelled.
"What's that?" Tanya asked, pointing at something. She was pointing at a tarantula that had been materialized into the real world. When it started to fire lazers they all ducked.
"You guys go, I'll distract it," Tanya whispered.
"No, it's too dangerous. We don't know what that thing is or what it's capable of," Mark whispered.
"Hold on… no… it can't be!" Arielle mumbled. She was staring at a piece of paper with wide eyes.
"What is it?" Chris asked. Arielle turned the paper around without saying a word. They all gasped. On the paper was a drawing of a tarantula that Odd had drawn for Arielle. It looked exactly the same as the monster shooting lazers at them.
On Lyoko
They had defeated the two megatanks and the tarantula that had been in front of the tower. Aelita went in and entered the code:
Aelita
Code
Lyoko
The towers aura changed from red to pale blue and Jeremie did a return to the past.
After the return trip, before the attack
"We're here!" Odd called from the driver's seat. The kids got out of the limo to see a mass of kids looking at them, wondering who they were and why they were riding in a limo. As they started walking into the school grounds, a girl with black hair came trotting up to them.
"Who do you think you are?" the girl asked snappily.
"Well I know that I am Angel Belpois and this is my cousin Mark Belpois and my other friends Tanya and Chris Stern and Arielle and Luke Della Robbia," came Angel's witty reply.
"Well I'm Bella Delmas and I already know that I don't like you!" Bella yelled. She noticed Chris. "Except you." Bella gave Chris a wink and stormed off.
"In your dreams Barbie!" Chris yelled after her. He shuddered. "I hope that's not going to be a problem."
"Didn't we do all that… earlier?" Tanya asked.
"Yeah, unless it was a dream," Arielle agreed.
"No, it can't be a dream. We all probably have that déjà vu feeling," Mark told them.
"Cuz! Nothing is possible with you!" Angel exclaimed. Everyone but Mark laughed.
Two hours later
Arielle was walking across the campus with her story sheets again. When she got to the stick, she stepped over it. She never wanted to see Lachlan Dunbar in her life again.
From the window, Chris smiled. He watched as she kept walking away until she entered one of the buildings. A few minutes later, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," he told the person at the door.
Arielle stepped in. "I'd like to thank you, for saving me," she told him. She blushed and so did he.
"Anything for a friend," he told her when his blush faded away. Arielle nodded and left.
There you go! I guess you can already see one of the pairings. The reason why Angel's parents aren't in the story will be in the next chapter. I'll update ASAP! :)
