Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hopes to sorrow?
Jeremy was in his room on his laptop doing research on the Fortress of Lyoko. The boy genius typed as quickly as possible to get information on the new Ice Castle.
"I need to know exactly what this Fortress is." said Jeremy as he continued to type.
"Then I'm the one to speak to." a voice stated causing Jeremy to turn around.
"Who are you?" the boy genius asked.
"An ally. A friend of Kal-El or as you know him as Clark Kent." explained the African American man with a dark purple shirt, pants and trench coat with a green belt.
"You know what the Fortress of Lyoko is." said an amazed Jeremy.
"Yes." the man nodded.
Feels like were all alone
Running further from what's right
And there are no more heroes to follow
Nova had gone back to her dorm room. The blonde was alone even though she had just learned of the death of her father. Nova laid face first on her bed crying.
"I never ever got to say goodbye." Nova cried to herself.
"And I never got to say goodbye to the rest of you." a voice from within replied.
"Who's there?" Nova asked startled after hearing the voice.
"I'm you. Or a part of you." the voice explained.
"Project Nova." the good blonde said. "Why am I not surprised?"
"They destroyed me. I want revenge and you're the only way I can get it." B-Nova declared.
"Who destroyed you?" Nova asked her evil counterpart.
"Xana, Brainiac and Bizarro." B-Nova replied. "And since two out of three are gone, it leaves Xana left."
So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?
Bill was sitting in the Computer Lab at the factory. The black haired boy wearing a red shirt and black jacket sat in the Computer chair. He was thinking of old past times.
Flashback…
There was an old abandoned looking cottage in the Alps. Inside was a young pink haired girl and a tall pink haired woman. The woman played on the floor with the young girl.
An older looking man with a beard and a young looking boy came from downstairs and into the living room. The boy looked down at the young girl with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, I will always protect her." the boy stated.
"It's nice that you want her to be protected but you can't always be around." Franz Hopper replied.
"How can you be so sure? I'm not a normal human." said Bill crossing his arms.
"The powers you possess are far stronger then Xana was ever created to be." Franz stated. "Too strong that if you use your full potential, you could lose yourself to them."
"Is that why you created that thing?" Bill asked.
"Yes." Hopper nodded. "And that's why I created the others."
Yeah, Yeah
I want to Rise Today and
Change this World
The pink haired women stood up to face her husband and the boy. She looked into the boy's eyes and then glared at her husband.
"You turned our grandson from the future into on of them." she said outraged.
"No, my dear. I just took his DNA for another project." Hopper replied.
"You and your projects. I'll never fully understand." she said before grabbing the young girl and walking out of the room.
Yeah, Yeah
Oh won't you Rise Today and
Change this World
The boy turned towards his Grandfather. "Why don't you tell her the truth?"
"Because if I do then she could give the information to them that could get me arrested." Hopper explained.
"Who's them?" the boy wondered staring at his Grandfather.
"The Men in Black." Hopper stated.
END Flashback…
The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running?
Bill continued to go through files on the supercomputer. Some of the files he wanted to look at were locked so not even he or Jeremy could get to them.
"It's almost time for the truth to be revealed." he said to himself.
Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we're left with nothing
In the dorms of Kadic Academy the students all lay asleep in their beds in their rooms. One student in particular, Aelita was sleeping like a baby. She was having a dream…
Dream…
Aelita was in her room in the Hermitage sitting on her bed as a little girl. A black haired boy walked into her room and sat next to her on the bed.
"Hey." he smiled.
"Hi." Aelita giggled back with a smile.
"I will always look after you." the boy assured putting a hand on her shoulder.
End of Dream…
For every life that's taken
So much is wasted
The virtual world of Lyoko was quiet, especially in the vows of Sector 5, the home of Xana. Sitting in the Core of the Chamber of Lyoko was Xana's Dark Knight. He sat facing the orb in the center of the Chamber.
"So much has happened over the last several years." he thought to himself.
A black smoke surrounded the Knight. He looked around at it hoping it wasn't what he thought it was/
"And so much has yet to be revealed." the smoke replied.
"There's so much that not even I know." Rob responded standing up.
"Only they know." the smoke said before disappearing.
Yeah, Yeah
So won't you Rise Today and
Change this World?
William was heading towards the factory to meet up with Bill, who called him to the factory. Dunbar was on the bridge outside the factory. He slid down the rope and ran to the elevator. The shaggy haired teen took it down to the Computer Lab.
Bill turned towards the elevator to see William walk out. There was a slight smile on Bill's face for his friend.
"So, what did you find out?" asked William.
"It's not what I found out, it's what I know." Bill replied.
This world
Only love can set it right
This world if only peace would never die
"I know a lot, too." a voice proclaimed.
William and Bill turned towards the voice to see the man in purple with a green belt standing there. They watched as his eyes glowed red.
"Who are you?" asked Bill standing up.
"I am the Martian Manhunter or you can call me, John Jones." the man revealed.
"So, what do you know?" William asked looking at the being.
"I know that the Fortress of Lyoko was created as a control device. If it is destroyed it will unleash a terrible evil more powerful then Xana." John Jones stated.
Seems to me that we've got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along?
"But, how can it be destroyed since it's on Lyoko?" asked a confused Bill.
"There was a powerful crystal created by Franz Hopper. It was sent away, hidden on Earth on Earth. If it falls into the wrong hands not just the Fortress, but Lyoko can be destroyed as well." the Martian Manhunter explained.
Yeah, Yeah
Oh won't you Rise Today and
Change this World?
"I guess I'm going to have to find it and make sure that doesn't happen." replied Bill.
"And you have to make sure that Lex Luthor doesn't get a hold of it. If he does he'll kill you." stated John Jones.
