Chapter 2: It's easy to catch on if you just watch

Location: Above orbit of Sorran 3

David and Aileta were on board a Dodraindo escort sip, they were on their way to the biggest and most Powerful Starship of all time (A/N: how big you ask? Well it's big enough to easily fit The Death Star from Star Wars into one of its engines), The Juggernaught. "If I may ask, why were we suddenly appointed Generals of the famous Dodraindo army, without any training or anything?" Aileta asked.

"3 reasons," The captain said, "1; anyone who could play that big of a role in taking down someone like Sicron deserves some credit. 2; our initial form of leadership sucked from the beginning. 3; It saves the author a lot of time when writing this story"

"Well there you go." David said. "I hear that the Juggernauht is so big, even the ones who built it couldn't believe it."

"You think that's just a table discussion, look out the window and see." David and Aileta headed toward the window to take a look. Sure enough, the ship was so huge it made the nearby planet look like a Basketball. And it only got bigger during the next hour as they continued to approach. When they finally came aboard they were brought to the command deck, located at the very top of the colossal giant, giving them perfect view of the planet below.

"Wow, the command deck of the Juggernaught, or should I say my...I mean our Juggernaught." David said in total awe.

"Sir, a small armada is leaving orbit." One officer at a computer said.

"All right lets see how loyal my crew is" David said to himself, "is there a Thornicon supply ship among them?"

"Yes Sir"

"That must be him, he must have come here to get some help from a "friendly" species, Attempt to make contact" The communication screen was all static for a few moments, but then a sinister looking face with a smile that could only belong to the infamous Lord Sicron.

"Ah, the young hero in training David, oh and the beautiful Aileta what a surprise to see you two so soon."

"Cram it snake face, don't you know you can only go outside if you ask mommy first."

"Why hunt me down young one, have I done anything wrong?"

"For one you stole that Thornicon supply vessel, and I wouldn't be surprised if the cargo was turned into that small fleet you got there."

"Should that crime be that severe to attract the attention of you and the Dodraindo army?"

"It is when you are behind it."

"Oh dear is my reputation that bad? Well as any good criminal I must leave before I am captured. And in order to make sure that I am not captured easily...Ships 455 and 290 delay the opposing ships till I can make an escape, everyone else follow me." Immediately 2 ships broke from the pack and headed for the ship.

"Commander, tell the men to take down the uh...pointy one and to have fun with it. I want to test my new invention...which by the way is on-line correct?"

"Yes sir."

"Take me there" he said. On the way out the door he whispered to Aileta, "I think I'm going to like it here." Aileta giggled a little at the joke.

Location: Juggernaught; experimental hacking room

"That's strange...how come it looks like a scanner" Aileta asked.

"Because it is a scanner. I designed it after CLYOTO so I can hack into apposing ships whose shields are too strong for cannon fire, and turn off every thing plugged in."

"But in order to do that, you need physical contact with the ships circuits themselves."

"I know, so I also installed a hook that launches from the ship into the opposing vessel. The hook is as big as this room; surely it will touch at least one wire." Aileta looked at the control panel.

"It looks a lot like the controls for CLYOTO (A/N: I say CLYOTO rather than LYOKO because CLYOTO is a lot more complex), how did you learn to operate it so quickly?"

"Hanging with Ikin for a year and a half, looking at how he works that computer...well it's easy to catch on if you just watch. Time to test it" David sat down "...launching connecter cable now." They couldn't feel it, but they knew a huge grappling hook was on a crash course for the doomed enemy vessel. Soon a green light came on, under it was a label that read; clear for transfer. "Uploading tower...good, Aileta get in the scanner and I'll send you across the connection cable into their mainframe, I'll guide you to the tower so you can de-activate it, then I'll pull you out before the whole thing turns off."

"Okay." Aileta stepped into the scanner.

"Transfer Aileta, scanner Aileta, vitalization!

Location: Attack ship's 455's computer mainframe

Aileta slowly appeared in the new landscape. One thing immediately struck her mind: white. The walls, the floor, and the ceiling were a sort of dark shade of white. Several colored lines marked the walls that must be circuits in the main computer or something. "Aileta can you hear me, is everything normal there?"

"Yes David, everything's okay, no holes in the air, no twisted hallway's, the system is a success."

"Good, okay there is a gray line on the floor...the only line on the floor. This will take you to the tower." Aileta looked down and saw the line. She immediately began to follow it, and sure enough the tower was in plain view.

"David I see it, mission accomplished." Aileta entered and slowly walked toward the center of the rings, lighting them up one by one. When she reached the center she began to rise and eventually reached a higher platform. It lit up as her foot touched it. A few more steps and a screen appeared. Aileta placed her hand on this. The screen read: AILETA, then CODE DODRAINDO. The screens around her dropped and fell into darkness, only to have them return all at once in an instant.

"Shutting down enemy transport, transporting Aileta to Juggernaught scanner now." Ailtea walked out of the scanner just as David gave the order to destroy the second ship. "It works, Aileta...it actually works. This could be a whole new revolution in space-space combat. The next thing you know, every major capital ship will have one of these."

"I'm glad your invention works, David."

"Thank you. Let me give the guy's the order to start tracking Sahathroe, and to send the room attendant up. You're probably more tired than I am. I got you the best room on the entire ship."

"Thanks, a good night sleep would be nice."

"Okay, tomorrow the fight commander will show us all the different ships and equipment we'll need to know if we're going to be good Generals."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Old snake face isn't going to know what hit him."

(But will he know? I sure do know, but you'll have to find out by reading Chapter 3: Preparations.)
