Alice's POV

Alice sighed as she looked out the caged in window. Her appeal was being process as she laid there in her cell. After these past ten years, Alice has found a new goal to set her mind to; a chance to get revenge on the AI that had cut her deeply and put her there. She looked over at the clock to see it was close to Noon now. She got off the bed and stretched her arms up. She looked over yellow eye of Lyoko/XANA tattoo. She could remember the day she showed it to the Professor and Doodle and explained its true meaning.

'Look here…the center dot is for the core, Carthage. This first outer ring is for Lyoko's four sectors that protect it. The ring around that one is for the network that hides it all. These three dashes here are for the three scanners that allow you to bypass the network to reach Lyoko's sectors. Finally, this dash up here is for the supercomputer that houses everything.' Alice explained to them after a long night of coding. Doodle and Franz looked over at it with raised eyebrows. Alice wondered what they could be thinking behind those there raised brows.

'Well?' Alice asked them after a minute of silence. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Doodle walked over and hugged her.

'This is why you're the artist of Lyoko. You can make these wonderful things like their nothing! I love it! What about you Professor?' Doodle said to him. He nodded his head at them.

'Yes, I do believe it fits well… and it's an icon that no one owns so there is no link to any outside group. Well done my dear.' Franz told her as she began to blush at them for their kind words.

"Soon….Soon I can help the others get rid of XANA once and for all and get my revenge for him tearing us all apart. Hell has no furry like a Hopper on the edge!" Alice told herself as she lowered her arms.

As per the usual Lunch time routine in the prison, Alice stood by her cell door and waited it to open. She looked over and waved at the other girl that was locked away in this co-ed hellhole. Her name was Talia and she was here because she killed her boyfriend for cheating on her. Besides that, she was actually nice to be around. The two of them had no choice but to defend each other when someone tries to cause some trouble with them. Alice watched as the doors opened… for everyone but her.

"Huh? What's going on? GUARD!" Alice yelled out as everyone walked past her cell. The men all sneered and laugh at her, making rude remarks as they left. Alice grabbed a hold of the bars to shake them out of anger, but a rush of electricity soon stopped that idea.

Alice was thrown backwards by the shock and landed hard against the wall. She fell into a ball onto the ground. Alice looked around as she wondered what could of happen, but the answer appeared in front of her.

A black cloud floated by her. It slowly made its way to her. Alice gasped as she knew exactly who could have sent this evil ghost.

"XANA! What do you want anyways? You know your powers are not strong enough to stop me!" Alice yelled towards the ghost, but it kept moving closer and closer. Alice backed up and was soon pressed against the wall. The ghost lunged towards her and began to force its way into her nose and ears.

"I'm not trying to stop you…I just want you to forget a few…MINOR details about your past. I can't have you telling those foolish children all of my secrets… Especially the fate of the pink haired princess." A dark voice spoke into her mind. Pink…Pink…

"Aelita! She is alive!? But where? How? And where is Franz!" Alice asked the ghost back. It chuckled at her.

"See? This is what must be taken away from you… your memories of the past could lead to… ah, my early deletion. So, as I have done for your dear little sister... I'm going to have to take away some of your memories. I'll leave the good stuff…but I believe your life with the Hooper family needs to be modified. Maybe even erased." The dark voice of XANA went on to explain. Just as Alice was about to say something else to the AI, a sharp pain erupted in her mind. A hot tip was focusing its way to her memories as she held her hands to her head.

'Your Mother died giving birth to you, that's why we are here at her grave on Mother's day. She died so you could live.'

'Alice? I'm Officer Morales from the police department. I'm sorry to say that your father is dead. A drunk driver hit him as he was coming back to you. I can help you gather some of your things before a nice person from Child Services come to bring you to a place to stay until we can find a new place for you to live.'

'ARUGH! You damn foster kids will be the death of me! Go get your own food if you're so damn hungry!'

'Hi, my name is Doodle. It's because I'm a mistake, like a child's doodle. You're really pretty…what's your name?'

'Unless you can come up with a legitimate reason, then tomorrow you and Doodle will be sent to different foster homes.'

'I only wish to add you to the family Alice…. But if this Doodle person means that much for you…'

'Miss Hopper! I demand to know where you and Doodle went to instead of your P.E class! You're not making a good first impression on the new teacher, Mr. Morales.'

'You must be strong…You must move on from me my love. Don't shut your heart to love just because we must part ways. She is going to need you to be strong. Keep fighting the fight…for me. Swear to me that you will move on and find someone else to love!'

'We the Jury hereby find the defendant, Alice Athena Hopper… Guilty of first degree Murder of Franz Hopper and Doodle Hopper. We hereby recommend she receive two life-long sentences to be carried out back to back at a high security prison.'

'So… You're that crazy chicka who knocked off her Brother and Father with a big-ass machete… I wonder how strong you really are!'

'Hey there…It's Alice right? I was told by that group over there that you're the girl to talk to about getting in some un-blocked internet time. I need to send an email without the guards seeing it. Oh, and call me Talia.'

'HEY! GET OFF OF HER! SHE AIN'T ANY OF Y'ALL PERSONAL SEX SLAVE! GUARDS! GUARDS, COME QUICK! THERE TRYING TO RAPE ALICE!'

'Them other men are pure dogs… I'm sorry they tried to hurt you so. You know not all of us men are like that dear. The name's Mathias and I would love to be a buddy of yours. No need to worry about me acting like them dogs. I play for a different team, the team of happiness and gaydom.'

'YOU MAY SHUT ME DOWN…YOU MAY TRY TO KEEP ME DOWN…BUT SOMEDAY I SHALL RISE AGAIN! I SHALL CLAIM THIS CORPOREAL WORLD AS MIND AND WIPEOUT THE SCUM CALLED 'HUMANS' AND USHER IN A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF MACHINERY!'

Alice whimpered and wince in pain as she rolled around her cell. The pain of XANA's probe was trying to burn her mind right out of her head. Alice could just make out the loud banging at her cell door.

"ALICE! ALICE! Hang on! The guards are trying to unlock the door!" Talia's voice came through between the bangs.

"HERE! Y'ALL NEED TO HURRY! ALICE LOOKS LIKE HELL IN A HAMSTER BALL!" Alice could hear Mathias's voice yell out to the guards as he must be next to Talia. Alice could hear other voices soon join them as they struggled to get her door open. Alice wanted to say something to her friends to calm them…but the pain pulled her out of the conscious world.

Alice gasped as she was watching a fight break out on Lyoko's Desert sector. She could see three brave warriors fighting and defending someone who was hiding behind a rock. Alice could not help but gasped at the sight of seeing Aelita behind that rock.

"He was right… My sister still lives! So, who are these other people that fight for her?" Alice said to herself as she flew closer to the fight. She could tell that no one saw her as they jumped around. A purple cat was running around on his hands and feet as he avoided the lasers of a Krab.

"HA! C'mon! I know you got better aim than that XANA!" The cat taunts the Krab.

"ODD! Keep that up and you're bound to get hit! Don't forget the mission is to DEFEND Aelita to take care of that tower!" A warrior dressed up as a samurai yelled to the cat. He used his blade to send a laser back at a Blok who soon exploded.

"Hey Jeremie? Any ideas yet on what the attack is yet?" the female warrior asked. She looked straight out of Doodle's favorite anime shows as she threw her fans towards the Krab. She missed as it returned to her.

"No… Nothing is acting out of the ordinary her or at the school. I guess we just caught it early enough before XANA could do anything." A voice came through the air. Alice knew it had to be someone at the controls.

"He could be attacking that Alice girl who sent us that note… he might not want her to help us." Aelita said as Alice listen to her words. Alice smiled at her and wishes she could hug her tightly, Aelita was just something she missed so dearly. Soon, all the monsters were gone as Aelita ran to the tower. Alice watched as it changed from a red aura to a blue one.

"Think I should launch a jump back in time?" The voice called out again as Alice began to float away from them all.

"Yes…" Alice tried to tell them, but she was not sure if they heard her.

Alice opened her eyes to the prison's infirmary. Her hands were tied down next to her as she tried to sit up. Alice whimpered a bit as she tried to move her sore neck. Alice nearly jumped out of her skin as the curtain wall moved.

"Ah, I see you're awake at last Ms. Hopper. I'm Doctor Delmase. Do you know where you are?" The man in a white doctor coat asked her.

"Um…the prison's infirmary. It's because I…. I… Um… I really don't know why." Alice said weakly to him. She tried to move her hand to her fore head.

"Is there any way to take this off so I could rub my head?" Alice asked the doctor as he looked over some monitors next to her.

"Sorry but no. It's policy for high-risk prisoners to wear those. Now then… What was the last thing you remember?" The doctor asked her.

"Umm… I remember being framed for the murder of my family…coming here and making some friends and enemies… and then my head hurt really badly. I fell to the ground and passed out. I wish I knew why…" Alice told the doctor as he took some notes.

"Well… I'll leave the framing part to the courts. It appears that you suffered from some memory loss from what appears to me a mini seizure of a sort. You should be fine… I'll let a guard come release you so you can leave. Your friends were worried about you. I had to keep them out of the room when they brought you in." The doctor said as he looked over her chart. He soon left her alone with her thoughts.

So brain…what have I've lost. I remember everything up to meeting Doodle for the first time. Then We were both adopted by a lonely man named Franz Hopper. We helped him create Lyoko and XANA. We also fought against XANA when he turned on us. It was just the three of us… right? Then… XANA killed Doodle and Franz just disappeared. XANA framed me for their murders and sent me here. The Supercomputer turned itself via the emergency turn off. Then someone turned it on and found Aelita…whoever that is.

Alice puzzled over this and knew she had to get to the computer lab. There has to be a hint on the supercomputer as to what her mind had forgotten. The answer seems to be staring her in the face wearing pink hair…


(Oh my! Poor Alice! XANA took away all her memory of little Aelita. Will she ever remember her little sister? Or will XANA force her to stay in prison? Find out next time I update!)
