The first chapter is really short, but I promise that all the others will be much longer. Also if you have read my other story, it's about to go under a supreme revision, so don't expect a new chapter for a couple of weeks.
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko, or The Matrix.
Claimer: I do own any ACC's (that I though of myself) I might use.
Now that the boring part is over, onto the story.
Chapter 1: It has you
"I know I have it this time, Im sure of it. I have never been closer than I am now."
Jeremy was busy in the factory, touching up upon his anti-virus program. He was sure that he had done it this time, he made sure everything was perfect and flawless. He was ready for the final test, now it was only a matter of time before all hell was over.
"Aelita, I know this is it. I know that today is the day we can stop XANA." Jeremy said with excitement, still typing furiously at the key board.
"You really think this will work, that this could be it?" Aelita asked, with joy spreading all throughout her.
"Yes Aelita." He returned with a smile. "I have a good feeling about this one."
He had done it. All the work was over, his patience had finally paid off. After all he had been through, it was finally over. Today would be the day that they could live normal lives. Today would be the day that all worries of XANA would end. Today was the day, that they saved the world, for the final time.
It was all too perfect, all plans, with no flaws in them. This was not normal, there had to be something wrong. With every good thing that happens, there must be a bad, to maintain balance. Jeremy let his excitement get to him too fast, not realizing the painfully obvious. That today was not the day for any of those wonderful things.
While Jeremy was typing away at his computer, little did he or Aelita know, that XANA was hard at work. The reason every thing had gone so smoothly was because the lack of XANA's presence. XANA was planning something, but not just an attack, something much worse. He would change the rules of the game all together. In fact, going to Lyoko, would be utterly pointless. XANA had a new plan, he would take over a new world. One that he may have created, or even hacked. One cannot be certain which it was, but in this new world, he would have much greater power.
As Jeremy finished typing in the last few things, he stretched his arms out and yawned. He quickly collected himself knowing the task was not fully complete. It wouldn't be complete until Aelita was there in flesh and blood. He was just about to hit the enter key, which would finalize his project, and bring Aelita to their world. But something happened, something that scared Jeremy, he hoped that it wasn't his fault. And it wasn't, but this he still did not realize. Because just before his finger made contact with the key, all power in the factory had shut down spontaneously. Or so he thought.
The only room with power in the whole facility, was the room below him, the super calculator room. It was still operational, but Jeremy did not know this. He started to worry, but stopped as soon as power was restored.
"Aelita, are you there, speak to me!" He shouted, praying for any response.
He got one, but not the one he was looking for. It was different, no talking, just words on the computer screen. He looked up at the screen and read what it said.
Don't cry Jeremy
It showed in big bold letters.
Aelita is not lost, she is with me. She is in another world, but she won't live forever.
"Who are you?"
The next message was a response he did not understand, nor was it any form of an answer to his question. Jeremy just sat there, looking at the words, shocked in disbelief, pondering what they could mean.
The Matrix has you.
I can tell Im going to enjoy writing this story, just as I hope you enjoy reading it. RR please.
