The First Trip

Jeremy began running the program to bring Aelita to the real world. Odd and Kya took the elevator down to the scanners. The doors opened, while a grinding noise escaped from one of the scanners. They walked over to it and watched as the doors opened and Aelita appeared looking like everyone else. She smiled and extended her hand out to Kya and they shook hands.

"Let's get back upstairs, everyone, especially Jeremy is waiting to see you." Odd laughed.

Aelita blushed as they walked back into the elevator and headed back up. Odd turned to Kya and gave her a signal, not to ask about it. She just smirked at him and then kept a straight face when she looked over at Aelita.

"I don't understand. What's the deal between you and Jeremy Aelita?" She asked

"Jeremy and I, we're very close that's all." Aelita replied slowly.

"It's like a never ending soap opera between these two." Odd sighed; "He's been working like a dog on that anti-virus."

"I'm sure he'll be able to do it. I have faith in him." Aelita interrupted.

The doors slowly opened to the super computer and Jeremy's chair rotated around slowly to see Aelita with Kya and Odd.

"Hello everyone." Aelita waved

"Hey Aelita how are you?" Jeremy asked

"I'm fine Jeremy. How are the rest of you?"

"We're ok, but let's get out of here. If we don't were all going to look like Yumi!" Odd laughed.

"Very funny Odd." Ulrich and Yum said together.

They all made their way onto the elevator and rode it back upstairs. As they left the factory, Kya looked up at the sky to see two birds flying towards the sunset. Odd turned to see her smiling and feeling the wind blowing through her hair.

"So what are we going to do tonight Jeremy?" Aelita asked

"I thought we could take a walk, just you and me." Jeremy replied slowly

"You two go and have fun. Aelita doesn't have much time." Yumi interrupted.

Jeremy and Aelita walked ahead and left the others walking towards Yumi's house. As they stopped out front each of them exchanged confused looks.

"So what are we going to do now?" Kya sighed

"Kya, do you have to be home at any specific time?" Odd asked

"To be honest I don't have a place to call home?" She stared down at the ground

"Where are your parents?" Yumi asked

"I don't remember." Shaking her head

"You're welcome to stay her tonight." Yumi continued

"Thanks Yumi."

"Uh... Kya?" Odd tapped her on the shoulder

"Yeah Odd?" Slowly turning towards him

"Would you want to come out with me to a movie?" He asked nervously

"I'd like that." Smiling

He took her hand into his and they started walking down the street. Yumi and Ulrich stood in silence until Yumi looked up at him.

"I'd better go to. I promised my mom I'd help her with something." She began

"Ok, I guess I'll see you later when Jeremy and Aelita come back." He replied

She turned and waved while she walked up to her front door and walked inside. He started walking back towards Kadic and ended up in his dorm room. When he walked in he sat down at his desk. He opened the top draw and took out a piece of paper and began writing.

"Dear Yumi..." He said out loud.

His eyes stared at the same two words for hours until his cell phone rang. Jeremy's number flashed on the screen as he picked up.

"Ulrich, Xana's monsters are after Kya. Odd and Kya are making a run for the factory; Yumi is already on her way, so meet at the factory." Jeremy began

"Ok I'll be there as soon as I can."

He hung up the phone and ran out of the room to meet everyone at the factory. Outside the factory, Kya and Odd, met up with Jeremy and Aelita. They all went inside and straight into the elevator. Jeremy got off at the lab, while the others went down to the scanners. His chair slowly rotated around to the screen and he began a scan of Lyoko's towers.

"Aelita, Odd, you're going to the mountain region." Jeremy began

"What about Kya?" Odd asked

"She's going too. Kya you're now have a character on Lyoko." Jeremy replied.

"So what do I have to do?" Kya asked

"Step inside one of the scanners. The doors will shut and you'll be virtualized into Lyoko. There you'll have 100 life points, making sure that the monsters don't hit you or you'll lose life points and be brought back here. Just use you're powers against them, you should be ok." Jeremy continued

"Ok, I'm ready." Kya nodded.

"Transfer Odd, transfer Aelita, transfer Kya. Scanner Odd, scanner Aelita, scanner Kya. Virtualization."

Each of them slowly virtualized into the mountain region and started looking for the tower. Odd turned to Kya who was levitating off the ground and his jaw dropped. Kya wore a black kimono tied with red ribbon, shorts underneath, and a pair of black shoes. A star was tattooed near her right eye as she levitated into the air.

"Kya..." He mumbled

"Odd look out Xana's monsters!" Aelita yelled.

Three crab monsters appeared shooting their lasers at them. Aelita jumped out of the way while Odd was suddenly in the line of fire. As they aimed and fired, the lasers were reflected. He turned to see Kya had created a force field around them; she smiled and then landed back on the ground.

"Let's go." Odd said; "Laser arrow."

He fired an arrow off and made a direct hit, while Kya went after the other monsters. She rose into the air and slowly the monster also rose into the air. Suddenly Kya sent it soaring into the sky and back down onto the ground with a great force, destroying it.

"Nice job guys. The tower isn't to far from you, but keep a look out for anymore monsters." Jeremy began.

"Which way do we go?" Kya asked

"Start heading north, the tower isn't too far." Jeremy replied

"Let's go." Odd nodded.

Back in the real world Ulrich and Yumi met up at the park, near the manhole. She bent down and removed the cover, then started climbing down the latter. Ulrich followed her as they came into the sewers. Both of them grabbed a skateboard and made their way towards the factory.

They came to the manhole and climbed up the latter. Ulrich pushed the cover to the side and lifted himself onto the concrete driveway outside the factory. He helped Yumi out, and then ran inside.

"Odd, Kya, hornets are right outside the tower." Jeremy began looking at the screen.

"Kya look out! Laser arrow." Odd shouted as he saw a hornet aiming its laser at Kya.

She turned and saw Odd get hit. He fell onto the ground and slowly got to his feet. Kya saw the hornets coming around again. Slowly she rose into the air and created a force shield around her. The lasers fired, but were reflected; though Kya used the shield's energy to destroy all the hornets. Aelita watched as Kya landed back on her feet, though she was breathing heavily. She knelt beside her and gasped to see Xana's eye appear on Kya's forehead.

"Jeremy something is wrong with Kya. Xana's taken over her again." Aelita began

"She's probably not strong enough to keep him away. Odd get Aelita to the tower now, hurry before Kya gets up." Jeremy commanded.

"Come on Aelita." Odd said taking Aelita's hand

They started running towards the tower, but then suddenly felt as if they stopped running. Slowly Kya appeared in front of them and created a fore shield around them. Kya smiled and watched as Odd tried to brake free.

"Aelita! Odd! What's happening!" Jeremy called

"Jeremy what's happening?" A voice asked

"Ulrich, Yumi, you two have to get to Lyoko now. Xana has taken over Kya's mind again and I've lost contact with Aelita and Odd." He began

"Ok, let's go." Yumi replied.

They walked over to the elevator and went down to the scanners. As they walked in Jeremy began preparing the transfer.

"Transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich. Scanner Yumi, scanner Ulrich. Virtualization."

As Ulrich and Yumi landed in the mountain region, they saw a large blue energy ball a few feet away from the tower. Both ran towards it, but Kya appeared landing in front of them.

"Kya get out of the way!" Yumi shouted throwing her fan

Kya held up her hand and stopped the fan from even making a scratch. Suddenly it was sent right back at Yumi and she used her psychic powers to cause the fan to fall onto the ground.

"Triplicate! Yumi go and try to free Odd and Aelita, I'll deal with Kya." Ulrich commanded

"What's going on Yumi?" Jeremy asked

"It looks like a guardian. Odd and Aelita are inside unconscious." Yumi replied

"Give me a few minutes. I might be able to do something here to free them. Go and help Ulrich." He continued

"Right."

She spun around and saw Ulrich being flung onto the ground. He slowly got up and saw Yumi step in front of him. Kya looked at them and smiled as she levitated a rock off the ground and aimed it right at them.

"Kya we're your friends. Why do you want to hurt us?" Yumi asked

"You all must die!" She hissed

"Please Kya, listen to me. I know you don't want to do this, you have to fight Xana."

"Die!"

The rock came straight at them until it veered off to the right. She collapsed to the ground and began to devirtualize. Suddenly the guardian disappeared; Odd and Aelita got to their feet and looked to see Yumi and Odd.

"What happened? Where's Kya?" Odd asked

"She was devirtualized back to Jeremy. We can't trust her anymore." Yumi replied

"Guys come on, Kya is a good person. We just have to figure a way to stop Xana from taking over her mind." He protested.

"It's not that easy." Aelita sighed.

"She's right odd, but we'll talk about this later. Aelita has to get to the tower, now." Jeremy added.

"Let's go." Yumi said

They ran towards the tower and watched Aelita walk inside. She stepped onto the first platform, as it lit up beneath her. Slowly she rose into the air and landed on another platform. The screen appeared in front of her and she touched it "Aelita" printed onto it and suddenly the tower was deactivated.

"Return to the past now." Jeremy commanded.
