"Shit," Niome said, her hands gliding across the keyboard of the super computer. "We're too late. Aelita's already in."
Odd sighed and scowled. "She's too naive. She believes anything." He leaned against the back of Niome's chair.
"Jeremie, get up here. We're to late to get Aelita back, she's in Lyoko," Niome spoke over the intercom. "I know nothing about this damn thing 'sept I was born from it."
"So was I," Silas scoffed.
"I know," Niome replied, annoyed.
The elevator doors opened and Jeremie walked to the computer, shooing Niome away.
"Finally someone else does something," The black haired clone said, cracking her knuckles.
"Hey, you know what, I've done more then you!" Silas protested.
"Oh shut up! You were just born like a month ago! I've been fighting XANA forever!"
"I did more then you in one month! Who got Aelita?!"
"And turned her in! Traitor!"
"May I remind you it was because I had to save your ass from death?!"
"The married couple is fighting," Odd said to Jeremie amusingly, rolling his eyes.
"Shut up, ODD!" Niome said. "If its all so easy then get your ass in the scanner and save your girlfriend!"
Odd put his hands up in a surrender. "I didn't say it was easy, my bad." He smirked.
"What are you so mad about anyway?" Silas asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "All of the sudden you start shouting insults.
"PMS…" Odd muttered to Jeremie.
"I'm not shouting! I'm simply telling them to you. But honestly, if you wouldn't have traded Aelita in, this would have never happened!" Niome shouted.
Odd and Jeremie exchanged glances.
"And you'd be dead," Silas said.
"So? Your point is? If I died, so would XANA's hamster Yumi."
"Listen, I'm sorry to interrupt the clone wars, but WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM!" Jeremie screamed, banging on the key board. The three others jumped, startled at his outbreak.
"Listen. Aelita is in trouble," Jeremie said, turning back to his computer. "This sector XANA created—it's unbelievable. It's digital structure is beyond anyone's belief. It's…amazing…"
"Your point?" Silas scoffed, glaring at Niome.
"This sector is special. It's quality is astounding. But in order the have that, it needs power. So XANA took power from other sectors and transferred it to Sector Six. But, the other sectors may lose power and delete themselves in order to keep the system running. So we either have to get Aelita to Sector Six or get her back on Earth."
"I vote Earth," Odd said.
"It's going to be hard. We don't have enough memory to transfer her back. Damn."
"So listen Jeremie, stop telling us the bad news and tell us what we can friggen do," Niome hissed.
"Look, XANA's clones are breaking through the factory doors!" Odd shouted, pointing to the video screen.
"We better hurry then," Odd said.
"Alright, I've got it. I drained some energy from XANA's support system and juiced it into the Ice sector. So, All I need to do is contact Aelita and tell her to stay there wile the other sectors delete themselves. I should have enough memory for Odd to get to Lyoko to escort her. And as for Niome and Silas, you two should fend off the monsters—"
"They're clones! Not monsters!" Silas and Niome said.
"What do you think I am, a monster? I take great offence in that Jeremie!" Niome said, crossing her arms. "If we weren't in a bad situation now I'd have slapped you!"
Jeremie buried his hands in his head. "Niome, please just take Silas and kill XANA's friends."
"We aren't XANA's—"
Before Niome could say another word, a gloved hand covered her mouth and dragged her back into the elevator.
"Good luck," Jeremie called.
"Silas!"
"Niome!"
Both glared.
"Jeremie I'm ready," Odd said through the intercom. "Transfer me now."
Jeremie nodded and pressed the keys.
…………………………………………………………
Bodies.
Everywhere.
Niome stood, her hands buried into her face, tears and snot streaming down. It ran onto her hands, pouring into her lap. Never before had she seen herself cry so hard, or so much tears. Before her lay the only person that ever mattered in her small world. The only one that kept her going.
Silas…
It had happened so fast.
The two had been trying to cut down the attacks going to the control room by defending the elevator wile Jeremie worked the keys and Odd was sent to Lyoko. No one had heard from Ulrich yet.
"This is such a pain," Silas said, rolling his eyes. "I have to defend people who will probably die anyway. Why do people try so hard to live when they know they're going to die?"
"I don't know," Niome agreed, slumping against the cold metal walls of the elevator. It gave a deep jerk, but no one seemed to notice.
The two were quiet. Silas's eyes traveled to Niome. She looked like a broken angel. Her pale skin was covered with dirt, her smooth shiny black hair tangled and falling in front of her face. Her eyes, the strange violate, looked tired and distance. Everything about her seemed so broken, yet so beautiful.
"Niome."
"What?" she answered, irritated.
"I want you to know something."
"What?"
Silas was quiet for a moment, but spoke up. "You know, when I met you I didn't know anything. I was just like them. XANA's stupid puppet. But then, you showed me something…I don't know what. Something I'm not supposed to know."
Niome turned towards him and waited for him to say something else. But he didn't.
The two stood for a moment, the silence sinking in. Niome took a long breath. The crisp cold, smoky air filled her lungs and she let it all out.
And everything became so clear. Just by this one breath.
All of the months Niome had been alive, almost a year, was coming to an end. Niome was going to die. No one would know she was, for she was a clone. Just a ghost, like in that song. Even if she had helped all she could, killed herself, killed XANA, no one would care who the hell Niome Lyoko was.
And yet…
She would die today, yes, but she would fight. Fight for her existence. She would prove to the people she didn't even know that she was no mistake, and that her dysfunctional defect in her would bringer her good.
"Silas," she said. She stood up and slowly made her way over to him. He looked up, surprised.
"I love you."
Before he could react, Niome grabbed his hands. "We can't have a chance together, because we are going to die. But Silas, I'm ok with it. I'm tired. I just want to sleep forever. And if I die right now, with you, I can finally feel wanted and in peace."
Silas didn't know how to react. He pulled her close and pressed her against his muscular chest. The two were quiet. Niome understood that Silas didn't know what to say, and the silence between them was comfortable. Two clones aren't supposed to feel things for each other. But how the hell are you supposed to react?
Finally, the elevator gave a final jerk and opened.
Seven krabs aimed their guns at the two clones. Other of XANA's clones stood behind them, their weapons drawn.
Niome pulled away, gasping. Silas smirked and drew his weapon.
"Let's do what we do best, Niome."
Niome felt tears push to her eyes and she held onto the elevator railing for support. "S—"
"Let us fight, together."
It's OK to let go, Niome. It's OK to die, right here, right now. Right now with the boy you love.
And she didn't need to be alive for more then a year to figure out what love was.
And so they fought.
Then he came.
Niome saw him in the corner of her eyes. "XANA?!" she screamed as something tackled her from the waist, slamming her into a wall.
"Niome!" Silas called after her.
"Her, cute clone," a voice hissed into her ear. A shiver sparked down her spine. "Get off!" she screamed and shoved him off. She could feel his dark eyes hit her face as soon as he pulled away.
"Poor you, so defenseless," he hissed and grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back. Niome squealed in pain and squinted her face. She felt a tear come to her face.
"Get off her, you ass!" Silas shouted and Niome was torn from XANA's grasp.
"Niome? Are you ok?" The clone was shaken, and XANA had probably broken her wrist.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"I've had enough of you, Niome. Always being such a pain," XANA said. He pointed towards her, collecting electricity in his hand. "Goodbye, clone."
As soon as he shot, as soon as the electricity left his hand, Silas saw everything move in slow motion.
He saw Niome crying with her wrists bleeding.
He saw Niome with her violate eyes, all alone.
He saw Niome with red eyes glowing, covered in blood.
He saw her staring into nothing at all.
He saw her screaming.
He saw her in fear.
He saw her frowning.
He saw her in pain.
Then why…why was it that she never smiled? Even when she knew nothing at all about XANA's plans, she didn't smile. Why? And then he saw something else. He saw that Niome was all he had, in his life. It was pathetic, and worthless, but she was all that mattered. Ever.
This was why he had to save her. Niome had to smile. For once.
And so he darted in front of the laser.
There was no regret her held, and it was like he had been forgiven for everything he had done. For kidnapping Aelita, for Lying, for killing. For being born.
Sure it hurt. Death always hurt. But not physically, mentally instead.
"Silas, please don't go! I love you! NO!"
Niome held him, catching him when he had fallen over. Tears stained his shirt.
"Oh god, please, NO!" Niome shouted desperately as XANA cursed himself for missing the damn girl, yet again.
"I see it, Niome. I see the light," Silas said. His eyes stared off into space.
"Shut up. You're not leavening me here."
Niome clung to him. "Please…you're all I have…"
And she was all he'd ever need.
…………………………………
"XANA you bastard!"
Aelita tossed another virtual rock. It hit a long slender tower, disappearing into it's walls.
Board with herself, Aelita stood up. She had been on Lyoko for only an hour, but it seemed like forever. XANA still hadn't arrived yet, which was part of her deal with him. This meant he was back on Earth and probably going to kill Odd, Jeremie, and Ulrich.
"I'm so stupid," Aelita said. "So dumb. How could I have listened." She banged her fists hard on her head. "You're always so naïve!"
The ground beneath her feet began to rumble a bit.
"Fuck," she breathed. "Now this? You're kidding me."
Another hard rumble, enough to knock the poor elf-girl down. What's happening?
Aelita stood up and brushed her self off, only to notice a strange line in the distance.
"Oh wonderful," she said. "Another few of XANA's welcomes."
It took her a second to realize that the line was no monster. It was instead the sector disappearing.
"Oh.Shit."
Seeing the sector disappear before her very eyes gave her heart a heavy moment. Her own world, through her own eyes, was disappearing.
She had stalled too much time. Aelita darted towards the tower and leaped in, the ground beneath her feet just disappearing. Instead of landing onto the tower's platform, she had missed and rolled off to the side.
As she was falling, she saw the tower disappear into darkness, digital numbers drifting down.
……………………………………………………………
"Aelita? Aelita?" Jeremie called into his headset. "Please answer! Please!"
"She won't answer if you keep yelling at her," Odd said from the scanner. "Why haven't you transferred me yet?"
"Still trying to contact Aelita. I'm getting worried," Jeremie replied glumly. "The desert sector just deleted itself."
"Well the faster I get their the safer she is. 'Cmon Einstein."
After the keys went in, the process of the scanning was slow but finally pulled in. Odd felt himself finally virtualized after so long. It felt nice.
"Odd? Are you there?"
Odd opened his eyes and glances around. "Yup, I'm here." It'd been almost a year since Odd had been virtualized, so the sensations and virtual pulses running through him seemed unfamiliar at first. He stretched himself out a bit. "Any of XANA's friends yet?"
"Nope, this sector looks dead. Anyway, Aelita should be close."
Odd nodded, though no one could see him. It was a bit lonely as he made his way through the sector, praying that Aelita was safe.
"Odd, look out!"
Odd heard a faint whistle sound from behind his ear, but he didn't have much time to react. He was thrown off guard and something shoved into him from behind, hard. The tower was just a few feet away now.
"Oh god, you only have seventy life points left!" Jeremie sassed.
Odd flew to the ground, sliding across. Pain shot through his back and his knees.
"What the fuck?" He said, panting. He turned around to see a dark-hooded figure.
"You can try and catch her all you want, little boy. But it wont work," XANA said.
Odd's eyes traveled behind XANA, seeing the sector was deleting itself.
"Odd get out of there!" Jeremie shouted.
Odd darted into the tower before him, ignoring XANA's chants.
…………………………………
Another tower.
Aelita bunched her knees into her chest, huffing and puffing. The Forest sector was gone. The last sector that remained was the mountain sector. She had gone to the first tower she saw, which happened to be white. Biting her lip hard, she knew this was it.
Earth…
Everything she had ever wanted was before her right now. Odd, Jeremie, Ulrich, Yumi…the four who had brought her back to life. That had loved her forever. And now, it seemed like if she left them, she would be betraying them.
And yet…
All she ever wanted was to go home. And maybe, Lyoko was her home. Maybe the Sixth Sector would hold the keys to her past, and even her father. Maybe she could live in peace. Maybe.
Aelita felt dizzy with all of these thoughts running through her head. She stood up, brushing herself off. Which sector am I in now? I forget. Were's Odd? What's snow? Memories flashed before her eyes, and her mind fell delusional. She took a few steps forward, but ended up stumbling backwards instead.
"Jeremie, am I sick? Please make it better."
Suddenly, someone burst into the tower. Odd.
"AELITA!"
Before he could scoop her in his arms and kiss her, before he could tell her it was OK, before he could do anything, Aelita's foot slipped from beneath her. And she began to fall.
"Aelita!" Odd shouted again, rushing towards her.
Aelita fell limp. Her eyes stared off, her body pushed towards the bottom of the tower. Her stare never left Odd's face as her fingers slid between his, but were too weak to grasp.
Isn't this what she wanted?
Her foot left the platform completely and she was falling down. Down the the abyss blackness of the tower. Into nothing…
Where would she fall? There was no more sector to catch her. She would fall endlessly, into the black hole of oblivion. Into something hidden deep within Lyoko.
Maybe she wouldn't. Who knew?
Then she hit something. Hard. It was like reality had hit her with a blow. The wind had been knocked out of her, and her head felt light. Her body trembled and ached, writhing in pain. Her eyes were open wide, but she couldn't see. It was as if every inch of light had been sucked out of the world and she was the only thing left.
Her body felt wait less. Could this bee…space? It seemed as if there was no gravity.
It was…water…?
But then…why did it hurt? Her chest, her head, her stomach, it all hurt. Her limbs were shaking, her eyes burning. The reason she couldn't breathe was because her mouth was clamped shut and her stomach was tight.
Water? Why did she feel water? Pain jolted through her body.
It…hurts…
My head, Odd…It hurts…
Why…
Why is it that…
THERE'S NO PLACE THAT DOESN'T!?
……………………………………………
"Niome! I was getting so worried—" Jeremie stopped. Niome staggered into the room, gripping onto her arm. Her head was down, her hair falling into her face. Part of her dress was ripped in the stomach area, revealing a long gash. Blood leaked from her mouth and dripped off her chin. For a second, he took his glasses off and rubbed them to see if he was just seeing things. The humidity was awful.
"Holy shit…are you alright?"
"Silas died today," Niome said, not even looking at him. Her head turned upwards, towards the ceiling. Jeremie noted her eyes, mixed between violate and red. They looked distant, as if she wasn't even there. "What do you believe, Jeremie?"
"About what?" Jeremie asked, confused. He stood up from his computer chair, about to rush to her aid.
"Where people go when they die. What do you think?"
"Me? Well uh—I don't know—" Jeremie stopped. "But wait…Niome…You need some help."
"Because we're different. I'm not human, you know?" Niome's eyes didn't return to him.
"Niome, what are you saying?"
The fragile clone turned to him, and suddenly a smile pushed onto her lips. It was small, but Jeremie could tell she was satisfied with herself for smiling. "Nothing," she said. She turned towards the elevator. She could have just walked right into it and never came back to this old factory.
But she didn't.
"Heaven," Jeremie said. He knew she was planning something in her head. She was planning to destroy XANA. And he knew, deep inside him, this would be the last time he would see her.
Niome stopped and turned to him. "What?"
"Some people, when they die, they go to heaven."
Niome's eyes turned back up to the ceiling. "I suppose so."
"I'll see you there, Niome."
Niome's smile still didn't leave. "I hope so."
And then she left, to be virtualized.
Jeremie's fingers ran across the keyboard, dancing on the controls. His glasses were fogged up. But it wasn't from the humidity.
