Part 2: New Kid, Strange Secrets

The weeks passed since the new kid Night showed up at school. He was an exceptionally smart kid, not only smart but vastly superior in strength. He didn't make any friends at school and a lot of kids talked to him but he seemed to avoid them. He got a room about down the hall near Jeremie's room. Jeremie tried to see if it was just another X.A.N.A. attack but Aelita felt no pulsations. He always stayed late in school at night. Jeremie usually sees him running across the court yard with his backpack.

"Aelita are you sure there are no pulsations in Lyoko" Jeremie asked wondering to himself. "No Jeremie for the final time there are no pulsations in Lyoko, there haven't been for quite some time now" Aelita said countering Jeremie's question. But Jeremie was still not convinced.

Tomorrow at school. Odd bumped into Night in the hallways while trying to rush to class before the bell. Odd fell backwards dropping his backpack on the floor. "Let me help you with that" Night said to odd as he extended his hand to help Odd up. "Sorry about bumping into you". "It's completely my fault" Odd said to Night as he handed Odd his backpack. "Well I got to get to class now so ill see ya later ok". "Sure Night".

Odd later met up with the gang in the cafeteria for lunch. Odd later brought up that he talked with Night earlier that day in the hallway. Jeremie burst out of his seat asking Odd "what did he say". "Nothin jer he was pretty nice to me". "Jeremie don't you think your being a bit paranoid" answered Ulrich. Night entered the room carrying his back pack on his left shoulder. Odd shouted "Hey Night over here". Night proceeded over to the table they were sitting at and began to stare at Jeremie. Night then turned to Odd and said "Don't forget to feed Kiwi today Odd. And Yumi you forgot your English book today in class". He reached into his backpack and pulled out Yumi's English book. Odd said "Thanks Night for reminding me". They all went back to their rooms for sleep.

When Ulrich passed by his room the door was slightly ajar enough to see what's inside. He saw Night with no shirt on and wearing black leather gloves hitting a punching bag he brought in a few days ago. He was punching it but it wasn't moving. His punches so fast, swift and on target. Once he stopped he looked at the bag and it came apart. Night quickly looked back but Ulrich was already in his room.

Later that night Jeremie called Ulrich. "WHAT! X.A.N.A attacking"! "Well be right there". Minutes later they arrived at the factory. "You're going to the mountain region" Jeremie said over the loudspeaker. Odd, Ulrich and Yumi entered the scanners and were virtualized into Lyoko. "Head north you'll find Aelita waiting near the tower". Ulrich, Yumi and Odd rushed over there in a split second finding Aelita being chased by three blocks. "Don't worry Aelita were here now" said Ulrich. "Odd look out behind you". Cannon knocked him out from behind. "Darn". Odd launched back one of his laser arrows back at the cannon destroying it. Ulrich quickly used triplicate to destroy two of the three blocks but was devirutaulized by the third. A cannon fired at Yumi but she threw her fan at its center destroying it but was devirutaulized after getting hit. Then Odd ran at the block firing a laser arrow at it destroying it. Then out of nowhere Odd was hit from behind by another cannon and was devirutaulized. "No! Aelita!" yelled Jeremie. The cannon was about to fire. But just before it did a hand came out strait from the center of the cannon. Everyone stared shocked at the screen wondering who had destroyed the cannon. A figure stood inside of the smoke wearing a cloak with a hood. "Aelita what just happened" said Jeremie. Aelita looked back and saw a figure pointing to the tower.

"Aelita activate code LYOKO" said Jeremie. Aelita entered the tower activating code LYOKO. "Return to the past now" said Jeremie. Since everything went back to normal and XANA went back to sleep the day went back to normal. School started as normal as it could except Night came late to class wearing a bandage over his right arm. The teacher took one look at his hand and said "Night what happened to your hand". "It was nothing just hurt my hand a bit from a project I was working on last night". "Well then please take a seat". He took a seat near the back of the room and took out a book. He opened the book to the first page. And his hand began to glow with a strange symbol. Could he know something?
