At the moment the supercomputer turned on, she had mixed feelings
The familiar white flash seemed to smack her right in the face, pushing her down. The whole factory seemed to some to life again. She stood up and brushed off her dress, due to the factory not being the cleanest around. She walked off into the elevator, with a feeling of remorse hanging in the air around her. She had betrayed her friends, and possibly even her father.
No, it couldn't be that terrible, her father was dead and her friends weren't exactly making her feel better at the moment. Lyoko was her only choice, besides insanity, but she didn't exactly want to resort to that. The elevator stopped.
She hopped up into the chair, ice cold from no use in a few months. She started the self-virtualization and scurried down to the scanner. It closed around her, making her slightly claustrophobic but still happy. The wind started up, lightly and slowly until that strong gale swept her away from reality. A squeezing sensation came to be and she knew she was being virtualized.
The next thing she knew, she was in the air. Unfortunately, she forgot about the ten-foot drop that followed virtualization. She stood up, her pride slightly bruised, and took a good look around. She smiled, happy to be back in the forest again. She looked down at how she looked, and remembered the first time she wore it. Jeremy made it for me…she thought, smiling. She snapped from her daydream and kept on walking. What seemed to be millions of battle scenes between the warriors and XANA played over and over in her mind, right down to the constant shouts from that little nerd with a mic.
She decided to look for the tower. She moved her hand over her star bracelet and two beautiful angel wings sprouted from her back. After a minute or two getting used to them, she floated all around looking for the tower. She didn't exactly know why, either, except that she only wanted to be there.
Upon arrival, she did as she had done before; walked to the center of the Eye of XANA, then gracefully floating to the top. The interface appeared out of nowhere, startling Aelita. Guess I gotta get used to forgetting the laws of physics again… she thought with a slight chuckle. She checked everything on her interface, random statistics and such, to remember everything. She was glad it still made sense to her.
She decided to check the security cameras next. She could see the Hermitage, The elevator and the Factory. She stopped, and then looked again at the factory. Someone was there. It was so pixilated she wasn't entirely sure, but there was a figure, seemingly male, walking around, and it was all too suspicious. He sat at the chair, and of all people, it had to be Mr. Jeremy Belpois. Of all the times it could've been a government agent, why not now?
Panicking, she frantically searched her mind for a solution; or at the very least, an actual excuse for being there. She thought, and then looked at the interface. Of course! She messed up a few connections, re-wired some stuff, and she had created here own bug. She could tell it was working, Jeremy was all confused, and by what she could lip-read wondering why the screen was fuzzy. She caught something about tools in his room, and he left. She waited until he was gone and frantically de-virtualized herself.
She darted from the factory in a desperate attempt to get to the school before Jeremy. She couldn't ever let him know she had turned on the super computer again, no way! That would ruin her entire life. She entered the school gates, and froze. Odd, Ulrich and Jeremy were coming right towards her! She changed her pose, acting like she'd been there all along.
"Bad news." Ulrich stated monotonically.
"Such as?" Replied Aelita.
"Well, what if we told you someone has been coming to the factory?" Odd shouted, changing the mood.
"R…really? W-who?"
Both boys shrugged.
"We'd better get Yumi, she should know too." Ulrich suggested.
"Can't go three hours without seeing her, can you Romeo?" Odd teased.
"Odd, I swear Ill-"
"Knock it off, this is no time for stupid fights." Jeremy interrupted, leaning slightly towards Aelita, as if he were trying to tell her something.
They left towards Yumi's house, but Aelita went a little bit slower. She knew that this wouldn't end well.
They're going to find out, and they're going to hate me.
