Code Hack: Chapter 2
Kite launched the new program causing XANA's core console to sink back down into the ground. A machine which looked like a huge scanner rose in its place. Kite typed in a few codes to start up the scanner. "Ok lets go to HQ." The five took the elevator down to the new scanner room. "Wow its huge." Jeremy said, as they entered the scanner. The doors closed as the AI program began the transfer. "Transfer CL-unit, scanner CL-unit, trans materialization!!" The scanner filled with light and transferred them to a new location.
They weren't virtualized but transferred to another part of the real world. The scanner opened and revealed a huge laboratory. Two women sat in chairs high above them, the background had the same diagram as the Lyoko computer. A man in black wearing sun glasses greeted them. "Kite was your mission a success?" Kite nodded. "Yes project XANA has been unplugged."
"Good. Oh my apologies, I am Yamaki the president of Hypos. I sent Kite to your school to unplug XANA because he no longer poses a threat. His mother program is the main point of our problems." Kite stepped forward and spoke. "XANA was created from the program MOTHER the main AI of the WORLD. A MMORPG that's played all over the world." Odds eyes widened at the sound of the WORLD. "Hey my cousin plays that game!!"
Kite pulled up the WORLDS diagram. "Like Lyoko the world has a character system but the combat system isn't the same. You have a certain amount of HP instead of life points. There are hundreds of monsters throughout the WORLD, when you kill one you receive EXP [Experience points], and AP [Ability points]. You must obtain a certain amount of EXP to level up. This also increases your max HP. AP is used to learn custom skills which you can do from your own PC."
Jeremy handed Kite the disk with their character images, Kite inserted the disk into the super computer. "Ok, Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi, you guys are all level 15. Aelita is level 25. Ulrich you're a light blades men. Odd you're a battle archer. Yumi you're a skald. Aeltia you're a sorceress. Ready to head to the WORLD?"
Jeremy sat down at one of the consoles and brought up the format. "Transfer Odd, transfer Ulrich, transfer Yumi, transfer Kite, transfer Aelita. Scanner Kite, scanner Odd, scanner Ulrich, scanner Yumi, scanner Aelita. Virtualization!!!!" The scanners filled with light as the five were virtualized.
They all appeared in the world as their Lyoko characters. A giant spider ran across the green field toward them, it struck Odd with one of its legs. Odd held his side as he examined his HP count. "Heh only 3 damage I've got 497 HP left." Ulrich jumped up and stabbed the spiders back with his sword. "Odd hurry get emm!!" Odd shot it with 4 laser arrows, the spider stepped back a few as Yumi threw her fan at it.
Kite jus watched them Hynos needed to test their combat skills. Aelita shot a fire ball from her hand causing the spider to explode. "Ok your team work skills are off the charts lets see if Aelita's program works here in the WORLD. A cell phone tower about the same size as the others became visible. Aelita tried to enter it but she was pushed back. "Access dined." Ulrich noticed a small card slot on the tower, he took an item out of his inventory. "Hey this might go with the tower!" He pulled out a red card and handed it too Aelita, she swiped the card and the tower began to glow.
She entered the tower which had a different look from the Lyoko towers. It was read on the inside instead of blue, it also didn't have the XANA sign on the platforms. Aelita ascended to the top and touched the screen. "Aelita, www." Aelita typed in hack. The data screens all dropped down to the bottom and went back up again. Yamaki pressed a button in the lab "Alter reality now!!!!" White light began to pour from the Hypos pillars as they consumed everything.
Instead of time being turned back reality had been altered, the five were back in the Hypos lab. "So what the deal with MOTHER?" Asked Odd. Yamaki took a deep breathe and spoke. "MOTHER is the ruler of the WORLD sort of, she became self aware like her son XANA and began to cause trouble in the world. She has been imprisoning the minds of players in the WORLD and forcing them to do her bidding. Her goal is to wipe out the human race and turn them into virtual beings like herself.
CC corp., is the developer of the WORLD they decided to put MOTHERS core here in order to monitor her actions. Like XANA, MOTHERS core is here in the factory, if we unplug her all the minds trapped in the world will be deleted. We need you to help us stop MOTHER."
The four huddled together. "Do you think it's a good idea" Yumi asked. "Well they did unplug XANA for us I think we can trust them." Jeremy replied. They broke up. "Ok we will help you, you guys did unplug XANA after all." Yamaki nodded. "Excellent you'd better head back to school now." The whole gang including Kite stepped into the scanners.
