Of Dreams and Nightmares

by Dark Silver Angel

Rating there for later chapters. This is something I dreamed one night. A girl named Dawn comes to the school, and Odd falls for her. But how does she know about Lyoko? More importantly, how does she know exactly how X.A.N.A. operates?

Chapter 13: Fury

"Dawn, Yumi do you copy?"

"What happened?"

"Dunno, but they're unresponsive."

"I'm going in."

"But Amber!"

"She's my sister, and Yumi is one of my students."

"You can't go alone."

Amber stopped and turned around, facing the last speaker. He walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Josh…"

"I'll come with you, to cover your back. I know you're capable, but it would make me breathe easier if I could be of help."

"Okay. Monica, give me a destination. Where are their signatures?"

"I can't pin them down! They're all over the place!"

"What? Let me see…Hmm, so it seems Alex is back again."

"Can I call him a Fishy Pancake again?"

"When we get the girls back. Computer, override scrambling. Code PINPOINT."

The computer hummed as it processed the code. Then it brought up a map of Lyoko and two blinking green dots appeared, followed by several red dots. Monica and Amber studied the red dots carefully.

"Seven enemy combatants, one of which has to be Alex."

"Couldn't Dawn and Yumi fight their way out?"

"Not if he disabled their weapons."

"Do you think he did?"

"Probably. He prefers hand-to-hand."

"That shouldn't be a problem, though. Yumi is pretty close to getting her black belt."

"And don't forget, Amber, that Dawn often gets in fights, and she spars with Daemion and Anita."

"Well, they're not going anywhere."

"Then they must be tied up."

"Damn him!"

"What?"

"Don't you see? He's using them as bait!"

"For us."

"Exactly."

"What do you want with us, Alex?"

"I want nothing from you, my dear sister. I want our dear, dear elder half-sister's life."
