Enjoy this chapter!
When Aileta came to she was in the scanner room with everyone looking over her worried.
"What happened?"
Aileta asked trying to sit up, her head really hurt and she was dizzy.
"Where's Molly?"
Jeremy pointed across the room to a still unconscious Molly. She was laying on her side and Aileta saw that she had something in her hand.
"What does she have there?"
Ulrich walked over and bent down taking the object from her hand. He turned it over and then handed it to Jeremy.
"It's a disc of some sort. That's right up your ally Einstein."
"Where did she get this?"
Jeremy asked looking at the disc.
"We saw it floating where the tower used to be. A weird person destroyed the tower and then that disc was glowing and Molly wanted to grab it, I told her not to, but she did anyway and then there was this light-"
"It's okay Aileta, you're here now and you're safe."
Jeremy said putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Oww my head, why does my head hurt so much?''
Molly groaned as she came to. She sat up and looked around at the others,
"Can someone tell me what happened?"
"We were hoping you could tell us."
Ulrich said walking over and helping her up.
"Uh, I'm not too sure myself. We waited for you to bring us in and when that failed we went to the away tower to wait for you. The tower was glowing blue and when we went inside there was a weird person standing in the middle, the tower collapsed after they entered a code and we left and then I woke up here with a horrible headache. Does anyone have some aspirin or something?"
"You mean you don't remember touching the disc?"
Aileta asked. Molly shook her head,
"No, what do you mean?"
"After the tower disappeared there was a glowing disc. You walked over to it and grabbed it. I tried to stop you but you were like a zombie, you ignored me and went straight to the disc. Then when we got back you had the disc in your hand. It got materialized with you."
Molly looked at the disc that Jeremy had and turned it over. She looked very puzzled,
"I don't remember Aileta, sorry."
"Well lets put this in the computer and look at it."
Jeremy said helping Aileta to her feet. They all walked over to the elevator and went up to the main level. Jeremy walked over and sat down at the computer. He inserted the disc and began typing away. Everyone was crowed around the screen waiting to see what was on the disc. After two minutes Jeremy sighed and leaned back.
"It won't be that easy to view the files, it's all encrypted and may take me days to crack it."
"So what do we do now? Where am I going to sleep?"
Molly asked looking around.
"Don't worry, we have already taken care of that. You are going to room with Aileta until you get your memory back and we can send you back to where you come from."
Everyone walked towards the elevator to go back to the dorms, everyone except Aileta. She put a hand Jeremy's shoulder,
"Can you wait a minute? I want to talk to you alone."
The others smiled and closed the door and left the two alone. Molly, Odd, and Ulrich headed for the dorms after saying goodbye to Yumi.
"Jeremy, Molly was acting really weird on Lyoko after looking at that weird person. I don't know if we can trust her. Also when that person was there they entered a new code into the tower, HANA. All this weird stuff and Molly showing up can't be a coincidence."
"Aileta, I could have said the same thing about you when you first woke on Lyoko, and for a little while it was because I had turned on the supercomputer that XANA was loose on Lyoko. I think we need to sleep on this and start to figure everything out tomorrow. Besides, with Molly rooming with you, you can keep an eye on her for anything suspicious."
Aileta nodded and the two headed back to the dorms.
Aileta woke up to the sound of Molly moaning in her sleep. She looked over at the sleeping girl and saw she was having a bad dream. She debated waking her or rolling over to go back to sleep when Molly's dream seem to take a turn for the worse. She was thrashing trying to fight an invisible enemy and was crying out in a panic. Aileta jumped to her feet and ran over to shake Molly awake. When she did wake up she was confused for a minute fighting Aileta and falling out of bed.
"Molly, Molly! Wake up you are safe now."
Aileta said grabbing Molly's shoulders and shaking her awake. Molly looked around and looked confused.
"Oh right, I'm here, not there."
She grabbed her head and massaged her temples.
"Still got a headache?'
Aileta asked, walking over to her desk and opening a bottle of aspirin. She handed Molly two tablets and then got herself some as well. She took the pills and handed a water bottle to Molly to use.
"My head still hurts too. What was your dream about?"
"I can't really remember, except the fact that I was really scared. There was that sphere thing and there were other people fighting it but I couldn't see their faces. It grabbed and dangled me over its mouth and ate me. I thought I could feel the teeth tearing me apart and then you woke me up, so thank you for that."
Molly said shivering. She wrapped her blanket around herself and laid down on the bed.
"That sounds pretty bad, I've had nightmares about wolves chasing me and these scary men dressed in all black with black shades. So I know about nightmares really well. Hopefully you'll feel better in the morning."
"Sorry for waking you, see you in the morning."
The two girls went back to bed and Molly slept the rest of the night without any more dreams.
The group gathered for breakfast and talked about how to find out who Molly is and get her memories back. There was no mention of Molly's nightmare the night before as they talked about all weird things that had happened since Molly had shown up in their world. After they went to their daily classes they all met in Jeremy's room. Jeremy was excited and pointed to the disc,
"I was able to decrypt some of the data and I found some interesting things."
"That was fast, I thought you said it would take you days not hours."
Yumi said sitting down on Jeremy's bed.
"It was really killing me not knowing what was on this disc so I started to work on it last night and the next thing I know, its morning and time to wake up."
He pushed some buttons on his computer and brought up a blue window. There was data written in the blue color but it was hard to read.
"That's the same color the tower had been on Lyoko."
Aileta said pointing to the window. Jeremy pushed some more button and some of the blue window became readable. Molly could pick out her name multiple times in the lines of code.
"It's creepy to see my name in all this code. Does it say why is my name there?"
Jeremy smiled,
"I'm glad you picked up that right away because I asked the same question. Although the code is different from the one I made myself, it's essentially the same program to materialize you into the real world from Lyoko. So it has your DNA and other vital strings of code. It's actually way more complex than my coding for these guys and I can't figure out why yours has to be some much more elaborate for the same result."
"So in the language of the computers this is me?"
Molly asked. Jeremy nodded,
"Bingo, now I want to know what extra sequences are in this code and it may be another clue to how and why you came to our Lyoko."
"Great more questions than answers."
Odd said leaning against the wall.
"I can get the decrypting program to run by itself so I can get sleep. At the rate it's being decrypted we may be able to read the whole disc by the end of the week."
Jeremy said excited.
"I don't mean to rain on your parade Jeremy, but don't you think that it was a little too easy to decrypt that disc? What if its some sort of trick by XANA."
Ulrich said looking at the readable code.
"It's true that XANA has tried deleting towers before but he has never left a trail of bread crumbs when he was done. Besides I've looked at thousands of XANA coding and this doesn't look like anything he has made before."
Aileta said. The other nodded in approval while Molly rubbed her temples.
"All this computer talk is making my head ache even worse."
"You're still not feeling well? You should go to the nurse."
Yumi suggested. Molly shook her head,
"For some reason I really want to go to Lyoko, like if I don't get there soon something bad will happen."
The others looked at each other and then to Molly.
"Let me see your eyes Molly."
Odd asked, getting close to Molly's face.
"Why is there something wrong?"
"I just need to check something."
He said looking into her eyes intently for a moment. Molly held her breathe hoping something wasn't wrong.
"Okay she checks out. Her eyes are normal."
Everyone breathed a collective sigh and relaxed.
"Why would there be something wrong with my eyes?"
Molly asked.
"When XANA controls someone, their eyes have a weird glow to them. And since you want to go to Lyoko so bad there was a chance that you were being controlled by XANA for whatever reason."
Ulrich said.
"Sorry Molly, there's no real reason to go to Lyoko right now, so you'll have to wait."
Jeremy said leaning back in his chair.
"It's okay."
Molly replied. She sat down on the bed, holding her head.
"Ever since I got back my head has been killing me."
Aileta was about to suggest they go to the infirmary when there was a beeping from Jeremy's computer.
"It's the super scan, it's picking up activity on Lyoko."
Jeremy said looking at the super scan.
"Is it XANA?"
Yumi asked.
"Yes and no, I can't tell yet, but something is activating a tower in the mountain sector."
Jeremy replied.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get moving."
Odd said opening the door.
Let me know what you think and what you might want to see in future chapters.
