FAN-FIC CHAPTER FOUR - SMART!


(That evening, dorms)

I open my eyes and see Ulrich and Odd slip out of the room. I throw the pebble that was stuck in my shoe at Dom, waking him up. I motion to the door and we both commando roll off the bunks and out of the doors

"Next level commando maneuver," I whisper, spotting Odd and Ulrich entering Jeremie's room.

We slip inside with them, laying low. My jaw drops when I see Aelita there with them.

"XANA?" Ulrich asks. Jeremie nods.

"What do we tell Tai and Dom?" Odd asks.

"How about you start with telling us what in the blue hell a XANA is," I say. The four of them turn to see me and Dom, arms folded, blocking the door.

"What are you talking about?" Aelita asks as Odd charges for the door.

I catch Odd head on and strike four pressure points simultaneously, causing him to drop like a statue in water.

"No lies," I say as Odd begins to stir.

"Or what?" Odd shouts from the ground.

"First, I tell Jim about that Dog sleeping on MY couch, second, I break 97.9854309% of each of your bones, excluding the beautiful Aelita, of course, and third, I'll eat your souls. I'm dead serious,"

"NOT MY KIWI, NOT MY SOUL!" Odd screams.

"Start talking," I say.

"Wait, let us show you," Jeremie says.

(10 minutes later, Abandoned Renault Car Factory)

Jeremie, Aelita, Odd and Ulrich lead me and Dominic into an elevator inside the abandoned Renault Car Factory, and pushes the down button. To my surprise, it works and we end up in some sort of computer lab.

"Head to the scanners," Jeremie says.

The elevator closes and me, Dom, Aelita, Ulrich and Odd travel to a room with three metal Grecian columns.

"New kids and ladies first," Odd says, bowing to Aelita as she enters one of the columns. Dom and I follow suit; each entering one of the remaining columns.

(up in the lab)

"Transfer: Aelita. Transfer: Dominic. Transfer: Tai," Jeremie says. "Scanner: Aelita, Scanner: Dominic, Scanner: Tai. Virtualisation,"

(Lyoko {woot})

Me, Dom and Aelita drop out of the air and onto an icy plateau. I notice that I was no longer wearing my pyjamas; rather I was wearing a sleeveless combat top and combat pants with a sheath on either side. I looked over at Aelita; she was just as beautiful here as on Earth, I assumed that was where we weren't, due to the giant four legged spiders coming towards us.

I pull out the left side sword and ready myself. As I go to stab a smaller creature at my feet, I lose my grip on the swords and it falls out of my hands, but it keeps flying forwards and splits into a thousand smaller knives. The knives surround one of the spiders and cut it into a thousand bite size pieces. The sword then reforms in my hand.

"Cool, I mutter as I sheath the sword, my right hand drawing the other, this one flowed smoothly in my hand and I cleaved the head off of another spider.

"Jeremie, where are Ulrich and Odd?" Aelita asks.

"The scanners are offline!" I hear Jeremie's voice say. "Don't get de-virtualised!"

"Fair Enough," Dominic shouts at Jeremie, shooting an energy arrow from the bow he pulled from thin air. "This is fun,"

Aelita flew past me, pink energy wings protruding from her back.

'Knew she was an angel' I thought, throwing the knife sword at one of the tarantulas (I think that's what Jeremie was calling them). Aelita ran into another Grecian column look-alike and then suddenly we were back in bed.

"WHAT THE FRAK?" I yell.

"Return to the past, Tai," Ulrich tells me.

"Well that makes sense," I respond, quickly figuring everything out.

'There's a virtual world called Lyoko, stored inside a supercomputer stored inside an abandoned Renault Car Factory due to be demolished in about 2 years. An evil computer program out to destroy the world, and a group of kids to stop it,' I think. 'Sounds smart, '

'If one thing is for sure, by the end of my time at this school, I will get Aelita,' my mind assures me. 'Jeremie Belpois, let the one-upmanship begin. I will become the bane of your entire existence, and while I'm at it, I'll steal the girl you like,'


(A/N: I've decided to do the AxOC thing because I don't like AxJ; AxO is getting overused; AxU just doesn't work for me; and tbh, I really like Aelita. :L)
