Chapter 4: Another Reunion and Attack

Christopher's POV

It was Monday and, like any other day, my alarm goes off, waking everyone in the room, including Odd. We all got dressed and headed to the cafeteria.

While the team were on their way to breakfast

"Welcome to Kadic, Miss Knight." Mr. Delmas said to Samantha Knight.

"Thank you, sir." She said.

"Jim will show to your room. Afterwards, you should head to the cafeteria for breakfast."

"Okay."

In the cafeteria

"And then the guy says 'Oh no! My canoe just sprung a leak." Odd said, making us laugh.

"Good one, Odd." I said, to which he thanked me.

"That really was a good joke." A familiar voice said directed at Odd. He turned to where the voice was coming from and his ears were true.

"Sam!" He said as he began blushing.

"So this is Sam, eh?" I said to him telepathically.

"Yeah." He replied.

"So what are you waiting for? Introduce us." I told him, referring to everyone but Ulrich and Jeremie.

"Sam, you remember Ulrich and Jeremie. This is Ulrich's girlfriend, Yumi Ishiyama, and Jeremie's girlfriend, Chelsea. This is William Dunbar, Laura Gauthier, Christopher, and his girlfriend, Aelita." He introduced us and asked if she could sit with us and we said yes.

"Odd never shuts up about you, Sam." I said, trying to embarrass him. It worked because everyone looked to our purple friend to find him as red as Aelita and I were when her father realized we love each other.

"Really?" Sam asked, earning nods all across the table.

"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked telepathically, hoping they knew what I was talking about. They did.

"I don't see why not." Yumi said.

"I don't either." Ulrich said. Everyone else agreed.

"Sam, we have something to show you after school." I said aloud to her.

"Cool. Can't wait." She said.

In Franz Hopper's classroom

Franz was getting ready for him and Mrs. Hertz first class of the day when an unexpected visitor dropped by to see Hopper.

"Hello, Franz." A woman said. He turned to see a familiar face standing at the door.

"Anthea?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's me." She replied, confirming his eyes weren't deceiving him.

"Have you taken a job here?"

"Yeah, I'll be working with Yolanda Peraudin."

"Great. Aelita will definitely be happy to see you." He said, both him and his wife knowing it was true their daughter would be ecstatic to see her mother. With that, Anthea went to the infirmary. When we were in science, Franz talked to me telepathically. I isolated my mind and his because he told me it was a surprise.

"Christopher, you'll never guess who was here earlier."

"Who?" I asked.

"Anthea."

"Aelita's mother?"

"Precisely."

"I bet Aelita's gonna be happy to hear this. Where is Anthea? Because I'll take Aelita to see her during lunch."

"She's working with Yolanda in the infirmary."

"Got it." I then turned my head to Aelita and spoke to her.

"Your dad and I have a surprise for you." I told her with a smile on my face.

"What is it?" She asked.

"You'll find out when the bell rings." I said and could sense the suspense was killing her. Finally the lunch bell rang and she and I went with Franz to the infirmary. She was confused when the three of us got there.

"My surprise is in there?" She said aloud.

"Yes, it is." Fran's and I said at the same time. We opened the door and I could swear I saw tears forming in her eyes.

"Mom?" She said causing Anthea to turn to the door.

"Aelita?" She said and they ran and embraced each other.

"I think I'm gonna go get my lunch." I told Franz.

"And I'm gonna head back to the classroom." And with that, we left the two ladies to themselves. When I got to the cafeteria and saw the others, they looked confused as to why Aelita wasn't with me. Even Rosa noticed.

"Where's Aelita, my boy?" She asked me. I casually played it off.

"She's in the infirmary. Headache." I told her. I got my lunch and sat with the guys.

"Where's your Princess?" Yumi asked me telepathically.

"With her mother in the infirmary." I told her, making everyone but Sam look at me in surprise. Then a familiar face came to us.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the brainless bunch." Sissi said.

"Well, well, well. It's Miss Conceited herself." Odd retorted, making everyone at the table laugh. Then she noticed one of us was missing.

"Where's Aelita?" She asked me sarcastically.

"I don't know. Where's your boyfriend? Oh wait. You don't have one." I retorted, making everyone laugh harder than Odd's insult. She then left with a huff, while Herve and Nicholas hot on her heels.

"I don't care who you are, man. That was good." Odd told me.

"I learned from the best." I said. That's when Aelita came over to us.

"I saw Sissi leave the table. She looked furious."

"Yeah. She asked me where you were and I asked her where her boyfriend was and said 'Oh wait. You don't have a boyfriend'."

"Oh my God. I wish I could have seen her face."

Meanwhile on Lyoko

In the Desert Sector, a tower turned from its neutral white to blood red.

Back at the school

We were in our last class of the day, and Sam was still curious as to where we were taking her. When suddenly before the bell rang

*BEEP BEEP*

"Guys, activated tower." Jeremie told us, including Anthea and Franz, telepathically.

"Perfect timing." Odd said. We all agreed with him on that. The last bell rang and after we all were outside with Sam. Once Franz and Anthea came to us, we all took off to the factory when I saw my folks were following us.

"Mom, Dad. What are you guys doing here?" I frantically asked.

"We were gonna come help out."

"Okay." We all then turned to Sam.

"Sam, can you keep a secret?" I asked her and she nodded her head.

"Good. Got your board?" Odd asked and she nodded her head again.

"Okay. Let's go." Ulrich said. All of us then made our way to the ladder leading up to the bridge to the factory. Then once all of us were on the bridge, the ten of us raced towards the ropes and swung. We waited for the others in the elevator. Then the three brainiacs and the four adults stepped out of the elevator.

"Okay, kids. Looks like you're off to the desert." Franz said, earning nods from everyone except Sam.

"Don't worry, Sam. You'll get used to it." I told her. We all then stepped out of the elevator into the scanner room and Sam was amazed. We all laughed.

"You should see your face right now, Sam." Aelita said.

"What do you guys use all of this equipment for?" Sam asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." Ulrich told her.

"Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Yumi. Transfer Odd."

"Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Odd."

"Virtualization."

The scanners then opened up after a few seconds and Sam was scared stiff.

"Don't worry. You'll see him again real soon." I said, trying to calm her.

"William, I suggest you go with her." Aelita said and he accepted.

"Transfer Aelita. Transfer Christopher."

"Scanner Aelita. Scanner Christopher."

"Virtualization."

"Transfer William. Transfer Sam."

"Scanner William. Scanner Sam."

"Virtualization."

General POV

All seven of them landed in the Desert Sector of Lyoko and took a look at Sam's outfit.

"Why are you guys staring at me like that?" She asked.

"Look at yourself." Christopher said and she did. Her outfit was now completely different. She had on a black and red body suit with a hooded cloak. On her back was a quiver with a bow and arrows. We then explained everything to her. She then wondered what her power could be. As she did, she disappeared from sight.

"I think you just found out what your power is, Sam: invisibility." Christopher said to her.

"I'm invisible?" She asked, astonished. "How do I come back?"

"Just think about being visible again." The ninja said to her. She did as instructed and was visible again. Then the six vehicles materialized. Odd offered Sam a ride and she hopped on. They all then rode to the tower, defeated the monsters, and, since Yumi was closest to it, she raced to the tower. She entered the tower, levitated to the top, and placed her hand on the interface.

Yumi

CODE: LYOKO

"Tower deactivated."

After that, all seven warriors ended up in the scanner room. They all looked at Sam and smiled. "Welcome to the team, Sam."

And that's chapter 4. I hope you guys like it. For Sam's Lyoko outfit and power, I just used the first thing that popped into my head. Sorry it took me a while for this chapter. I have had major writers block. Anyway, review and I'll add more chapters.
