To respond to my only reviewer so far, thank you very much for your opinion. When you said that there is a problem about Domino being depicted as a loner...I don't consider her one because loners are normally like that by nature rather than by choice if you get my drift. Although, I am glad that you like Domino in general. It is a boost in confidence when it comes to the character because I was worried she could be seen as unlikeable.
If anyone wants to know what Domino looks like, I'll give a description here. She has short blonde hair, green eyes, moon pale white skin and she is just about the same height as Aelita. Domino normally wears a pair of boy shorts and a short T-shirt. She isn't exactly that modest with what she wears as you will see on some occasions.
Chapter Four is basically episode two of the first season so this is basically a filler chapter more than anything else. You don't have to read it really. I wouldn't mind if you did anyway but the next chapter will be episode three but there are some things in store for that chapter that you should see.
So I'll stop there and let you read on. Review plese either good or bad. I hope to hear what you think. I don't own anything from Code Lyoko apart from the OCs created for this particular story and others that I have written over the years
Enjoy!
Chapter Four: Nuclear Curcuit
class had a person from the nuclear power planet basically presenting the layout of the plant and what happens in there. It is lessons like this that make me wonder why I agreed not to cut anymore classes. I've been spending the entire lesson looking out of the window rather than focusing on the actual lecture. Jeremie puts his hand up when the guy asks for any questions that wanted to be answered but I wouldn't think there would be many.
"Sir, I want to ask if it's possible to find virtual molecules and materlise them in the real world?" Jeremie asks.
I do admire Jeremie for his determination at finding any information of how to materialise Aelita. He has been working hard on the program so I respect him for not giving up even though according to the others, it has been almost a year since they first learnt about Lyoko.
"Son,that's more on the realms of science fiction." He responds.
I shake my head thinking that he had no idea about the reality of what Jeremie was asking. I'm not surprised considering virtual worlds are far away from achievement in the modern world.
"Jeremie's very smart but he's a bit of a dreamer." says.
Jeremie sits back down defeated as the rest of the science class starts to laugh just considering the whole situation ridiculous. I'm not going to get involved though. The fuse for the projector blows and that's something that doesn't happen often but it's not exactly something to be a cause for concern.
decided to dismiss the class after the fuse blew so we got to leave class early. I'm not complaining as that class was mind-numbing personally despite the blown fuse. Jeremie didn't think the same with the rest of us and thinks that it is a Xana attack. I'm not raising any alarms just yet given that a blown fuse isn't a typical event but it isn't completely beyond reach. He's been repeating the same sentence for the last ten minutes so Jeremie isn't convinced.
"And I'm saying Xana is behind it." Jeremie repeats.
"Calm down, it was just a blown fuse." Odd says.
Yumi stands outside the science block having been dismissed from her class as well. Mr Delmas approaches us clearly wanting to talk to us about something.
"Odd,I've decided to let you form your band the fox trox fantics." Mr Delmas mentions.
Odd, Ulrich and Yumi thought it would be a good idea to form a band. I wasn't against the idea but it does sound like a teenage cliche so I wanted to stay out of it for the most part. Jeremie doesn't have the same attitude as me exactly but he's staying out of it because he's busy with Aelita's materialisation program.
"It's the Pop Rock Progressives, Sir." Yumi corrects.
"But it must be open to everyone who wants to play." Mr Delmas orders answered then walked away.
"We'll have the auditions in the hall. Are you gonna come, Jeremie?" Yumi mentions.
"No thanks, I'm not into music or metal." Jeremie decides walking off. "I'll be in my room. I wanna check on that outage."
"What about you, Domino?"Odd asks.
"Too talent-show cliched for me are auditions." I answer.
I stay in my room because the day is over for now and the others are focused on the band and Jeremie has his concerns about the outage in our science class. It's just another case of passing time by listening to my Ipod and Ed Sheeran. If the others were looking for a guitarist then I might have stayed for the auditions as I do like them. Odd is the band's electric guitarist and while I prefer just a normal guitar, I can adjust to other kinds. My phone vibrates and I see that it is Jeremie calling. I guess I'm going to the factory after all.
The others arrive before me but I'm normally the last to arrive anyway so there aren't any shocks to them. I don't keep them waiting long so it's not that bad.
"This is what Xana's up to. When he's stored enough voltage in that pylon, he'll unleash it all." Jeremie outlines.
"Unleash it where?" Odd asked.
"Guess! On the Nuclear Plant." Jeremie says.
"Creating a short circuit-" Yumi realises.
We all have the same recognision about the danger of what Xana is planning. Nuclear attacks is above and beyond the call of duty for Xana. This is a massive risk and failing in Lyoko isn't a option in the slightest.
"The pylon can take a hundred volts." Jeremie continues.
"Nuclear sabotage. That's a little over our heads, wouldn't you say?" Yumi comments.
"In what sense?" I ask.
"Think about it! If we fail in Lyoko, the whole region will be wiped out. We've got to warn the authorities." Yumi says.
"Are you crazy? There will be an inquiry and we'll be questioned. We're gonna have to tell them everything and if they discover Xana they'll pull all the plugs out." Jeremie notes.
I'll have to reveal everything about me as well and I can't afford to let that happen. It's too complicated and dark. There are also some aspects of not wanting to go back as well. I'm being selfish and I know that but sometimes life does require you to be.
"And we'll lose Aelita. I know that but we are talking about a nuclear disaster." Yumi pushes.
"Let's have a vote." I suggest.
"Who's for raising the alarm?" Jeremie asks.
"For." Yumi says.
"Against." Jeremie disagrees.
"Against." Odd decides.
Aelita appeared on the computer screen wanting to see the outcome of our vote. I already made up my mind about what I think the better idea is but I'm being selfish more than anything else. If I ever decide to reveal everything about me, I'll do it with my own free will and not be forced to do it because of authorities.
"Sorry, Aelita, but even I think we can't take that big of a risk. I vote for, let's report it." Ulrich says.
"I vote against." I reply.
"Don't I have the right to vote?" Aelita asks.
"Why, sure you do." Jeremie confirms.
"In that case, I vote for. I don't want thousands of people to die just to save me." Aelita decides.
"Thank you, Aelita." Yumi says.
Jeremie isn't going to argue against Aelita given that he has feelings for her. Jeremie is a reluctant for so I can't afford to let this misison fail. I'm not admitting to anything just yet or under any pressure.
I decide to go to Lyoko with Odd and Ulrich whilst Yumi goes to tell the authorities. I have a confident feeling they won't believe her but that's what Lyoko is, beyond belief.
Our destination is the desert sector after the whole virtualisation process, I can see Aelita waiting for us on the plateau. We can't fail now! I'm doing this for my own reasons but that's why I'm even here in the first place.
"We're gonna make it, guys." Odd says.
"I hope so." I reply.
"The activated tower is near an oasis." Jeremie mentions
"I know where that is. There on the other plateau."Aelita replies pointing at the platform
We move onto the other plateau but there are no signs of an activated tower. Xana must be hiding it somewhere here but hence the word 'hiding' so we can't see it at all.
"Well, it's around here somewhere just look at the pulsations they all come here."Aelita notes.
We've only been there for a few minutes and nothing has shown yet. I'm sitting on the desert ground not knowing what else I'm supposed. I think I miss my Ipod right now. We won't be able to stop the attack without the tower.
"I found it. There's no water down there, just a surface layer. I'll have a better look." Odd tells us diving down the oasis.
The three of us dive down after him giving each other a quick glance. We see the tower in front of us meaning that we're one step closer to preventing a massive disaster. The tower is guarded by two Krabs and those things can be a nightmare. One of the Krabs shoots a laser at Odd's leg annoying him massively.
"I hate those horrible Krabs." Odd sighs aggrevated.
"Not just you."I agree throwing a dagger at one of the eyes.
That isn't enough to destroy it though. It shoots me in the arm as a violent response. These monsters must hold a grudge against me because of my successful escape from Carthage.
"Domino, you only have forty life points left." Jeremie tells me.
"I've survived worse than this."I reply with a laser was coming after me.
I manifest a longer sword this time and jump towards the Krab but it prepares to shoot me but I manage to impale it and destroy it but the laser manages to hit me and devirtualise me. I wake up in the scanner room and I bang my fist against the door of the scanner. Damn it! I lie against the scanner feeling frustrated that I did something that cost me.
It's not like I'm missing anything. I head back up to the computer lab seeing Odd and Ulrich managing to trimuph over Xana's monsters letting Aelita deactivate the tower. That's a relief. At least I have no confessions to make anytime soon.
"Ready for a return to the past, Domino?" Jeremie sighs.
"More than that."
