Ginny yawned. She had stayed up late, pondering Aelita and where she's been. She couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with that 'near magic' thing that had been mentioned to Harry and herself while being prepared to leave. She thought it did.
Just a little before the bell, Ginny heard a small beep from the back of the class room. She turned in her seat, but seeing nothing out of the ordinary, thought nothing of it. Then the bell for biology to end rung. Ginny walked out of the room not far behind Jeremy and Aelita. She saw them talk to Yumi, then the three ran through the hall with Ginny not far behind. She noticed Ulrich and Odd running off in the opposite direction, but she followed Jeremy, Yumi, and Aelita instead.
"Where are you off to?" asked a familiar voice. Ginny turned around and saw Harry standing behind her.
"Jeremy, Aelita, and Yumi are headed off somewhere. I think we should follow them."
"Okay. Should I get the Invisibility Cloak?"
"No time. Let's follow them. Do you have your wand?"
"I do. Do you?"
"Mmhmm."
With that, the two took off, not wanting to get too far behind the others. After several minutes, they came to the same manhole they saw last night.
"This time, let's follow them," Harry said.
The two climbed down the ladder and saw two skateboards leaning against the wall.
"Let's follow this path," Ginny said. "This might solve our little mystery.
They ran along the path, trying to ignore the smell, and eventually came to a ladder.
After climbing up the ladder, the witch and wizard found themselves in front of an abandoned factory. Jeremy was just disappearing in side. Harry took off towards him, motioning for Ginny to follow.
After getting to the elevator, and waiting for it to slide open, Ginny stepped in side, wand out, just in case. Harry did the same. They rode the elevator downward in silence, wondering what awaited them at the bottom.
The elevator came to a stop. The doors slid open slowly to reveal a giant computer with three monitors, a holographic map, and a big chair. And Jeremy, Yumi and Aelita.
At the sound of the elevator door opening, Jeremy and the two girls turned around. Aelita gasped. Some one (two) had followed them!
"What are you doing here?" Jeremy asked.
"What is this place?" Ginny asked, ignoring them. Harry, however responded.
"We could ask you the same thing," He told them.
"Should we tell them?" Yumi asked.
"We'll just launch a return to the past after we deactivate the tower," Jeremy said confidently. "After that, they won't remember a thing."
"Just like the Memory Charm!" Ginny exclaimed.
Yumi, Aelita and Jeremy stared at her, while Harry felt like face-palming.
"What?" Yumi said.
"Listen," Harry started. "We aren't exactly from your dimension. We're from an alternate world.." Ginny nodded, and Harry continued. "In our...dimension, magic is real. Ginny is a witch."
"Yeah, and we're supposed to believe that Harry is a wizard the saved the world," Jeremy remarked sarcastically.
Harry leveled him with a glare. "Well, its true!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Give us some proof," Yumi said.
Harry shrugged. He alread had his wand out. "Okay."
He closed his eyes, and thought of the happiest memory he could. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
A silver stag burst from Harry's wand's tip. It cantered around the room for several moments, before disappearing.
"Mine is a horse," Ginny offered. "But it's not as good as Harry's. He's, as you could say, an expert. Harry's ran into more Dementors then you could imagine!"
Every one just stared at her.
"Okay, uh, what are Dementors?" Aelita asked.
"They guard a wizard prison called Azkaban," Harry said. "They suck the happiness out of a person. If Dementors get the chance, they'll Kiss you."
"Uh, Kiss?" Yumi asked.
"It means that a person's soul is sucked out," Ginny replied. "To your question Jeremy, Harry and I thought you were pretty suspicious, sneaking around and getting back late at night. We followed you."
Jeremy opened his mouth as if to respond, but a loud series of beeps from the super-computer cut him off. His face became painted with a pale, 'oh crap!' expression, and said, "Yumi, Aelita, scanners, NOW," before spinning on his chair to face the computer and beginning to type rapidly on it.
Aelita and Yumi shared a glance then brushed past Harry and Ginny and into the elevator behind them.
"We're ready Jeremy," Aelita's voice came staticy from the other end.
"Now it's our turn to be confused," Harry said. "Scanners?"
Instead of responding, Jeremy pretended Harry hadn't said a thing.
"Transfer, Yumi. Transfer, Aelita. Scanner Yumi. Scanner Aelita. Vertulization!"
Yumi and Aelita appeared above the Mountain Sector and landed on the Overwing.
"What just happened?" Harry asked.
"They just got virtualized to a different world called Lyoko," Jeremy explained. "Lyoko is a different world where a virus named XANA used to live. He lives in the internet now. Well, Aelita's dad, Franz Hopper, created Lyoko and XANA as a military project. Franz wanted to escape after the government took his wife, Antea. He virtualized himself and Aelita to Lyoko, where they wanted to live with XANA peacefully, but XANA didn't want that. He attacked Franz and Aelita, then Franz shut down Lyoko with him and Aelita on it. Ten years later, I found it and turned it on. Aelita didn't remember a thing, and we couldn't materialize her, not until about a year and a half later. I'll explain everything else later."
Yumi and Aelita soared throughout the Sector, avoiding the many laser blasts sent their way by mantas and hornets. All of a sudden, a blast hit the Overwing and sent the two warriors flying. Aelita activated her wings and flew over to Yumi. She grabbed the raven haired warrior under her arms and flew over to the platform where the tower was.
"That was pretty much unexpected," Yumi said.
"I still think it's too bad you can't use your telekinetic powers on yourself," Aelita said.
"Hello, Aelita," a strangely distorted voice said. William!
"Aelita, head for the tower!" Yumi shouted, materializing her fans. She threw them both at the XANA-fied teenager, both deflected by William's massive sword. Yumi used her power on her fans, and drew them both back to William. The fans both hit his back and flew back to their owner.
William drew back his sword and slashed it through the air, bringing it down to the ground and sending an energy wave, kind of like Aelita's energy fields, through the air. The wave hit Yumi, divirtualizing her.
William smiled at his victory, setting his sights for the pink haired girl. Aelita ran as fast as she could towards the red tower.
"Yumi was devirtualized, Aelita!" Jeremy shouted urgently. "You'd better watch out! William's right behind you!" She thought she could hear Harry asking if Yumi was alright.
Aelita activated her wings again and flew as fast as she could towards the tower. She felt something hit her, and her wings disappeared. "Aelita!" Jeremy shouted. The pink haired warrior stood up and used her creativity powers to create a barrier behind her, cutting William off. Aelita ran into the tower and felt herself floating upwards.
Aelita smiled as she did the familiar process: She walked to the center of the upper platform, put her hand on the screen, and typed in the deactivation code: Lyoko. "Tower deactivated," she said. The data went to the bottom of the tower, then a bright light formed at the bottom.
"Return to the past, now," Jeremy said. Aelita smiled again: Harry and Ginny would forget about everything.
Boy was she wrong!
I'm soooooo sorry for the late update! I had school and so did Luna Holley Sheaffer (she's my beta/co-author) so it was slow progress. We hope we'll update sooner for the next chapter. Any suggestions? PM or review! Until next time…
PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
