Chapter Six: Son of a virus

Jeremie's jaw dropped. How could a program just disappear from the system? It didn't make any sense. It could be the key to Aelita's- "I suppose you want to know who I am?" The hologram coughed, "Aelita, I'm guessing you don't think you have any parents." Aelita's face rose, "Mom?" The hologram nodded and Aelita tried to hug her, unfortunately she passed right through the holographic image. "Aelita... I'm sorry that I can't be with you right now, this prison prevents me from doing so." A tear dropped from Aelita's eye, "CURSE THIS PRISON!" She yelled out in disappointment.

Jeremie looked up shocked at what Aelita had said, When I said she had a set of lungs on her, I meant it! "Aelita." Jeremie walked up to her and hugged her, "We'll get your mother out. I promise." "Oh that reminds me..." Aelita's mom began, "I failed to introduce your father..." She leant into what seemed to be the wall and pulled out a man in his 40's. "Aelita, meet Dad." Aelita's face brightened and Jeremie smiled, Not the perfect family reunion but at least it's something. He thought.

Jeremie headed over to the elevator and tapped in a few buttons. He went up to the upper level to see what the noise was. What he found scared him out of his wits...

The elevator door opened and Jeremie came in like a ghost. "Jer? Whats wrong?" "The scanners... are mutilated and Xana's symbol is all over the walls. This is too much..." He fell forwards and Aelita ran and caught him just before he would of hit the floor, "Jeremie! Wake up! WAKE UP!" Jeremie's theory about Aelita was once again corrected. He sat up after about a minute and rubbed the back of his head. "What could've done this?"

Aelita was just as scared as Jeremie when Jeremie had a second theory about what the program was. He said it was a better version of Xana; more updated, quicker and far more intelligent. "I think we are dealing with Xana's son..." Aelita's face went white, something like that would want vengence on everyone that partook in Xana's demise. That would mean Yami and Jeremie. "Jeremie, he's going to be after you." "I know Aelita." He said sadly, his life was in danger...

"Come on Aelita, lets go back to Yumi's and get some rest. It's been a stressful night and we both need our rest to fight this thing." "Ok." Aelita said sleepily, "You going to be all right?" Jeremie said to Aelita's parents, "We'll be fine, come visit anytime." "Will do." Jeremie and Aelita walked home. Jeremie, being the gentleman that he was, offered Aelita an arm, she sleepily took it.

They arrived at Yumi's and unlocked the door, they went up the stairs, "I'll tell Yumi in the morning." "I'd rather you don't." "Ok I'll wha?" Aelita said in surprise, "If Yumi or the others get in the middle of this there is no telling what Xana's son would do to them. It's much safer to leave them out of this." "Ok, I promise I'll not tell them." Unfortunately it was too late for that, Yumi had heard the door and was wide awake. She heard everything. And she wasn't about to keep this to herself, Ulrich and Odd had to know!

The following morning was a Saturday morning, so school was out. Yumi was on the phone, "Yeah meet me at the corner store. Ok, bye." She put it down and rushed outside. "Wonder who she was talking to?" Aelita said curiously, "Meh." Jeremie said in the middle of eating a bowl of cereal.

"So we need to find out about Xana's son." Yumi finished, "You making this up?" Odd joked, Yumi shot him a glare, "Kidding! Kidding!" Yumi sighed, Typical... "Well I say we try to get Aelita to talk to us about it, Jeremie is as stubborn as a mule. He'll never cough up the info." Ulrich stretched, it was about 9:00am and he was still tired. "Yeah I agree." Yumi nodded, Odd was feeling guilty about doing this behind the couples back but it had to be done...

Yumi headed back home and caught Aelita walking out the door, "Where are you going?" "To er... see a movie. Jeremie is taking me to the movies." Aelita quickly fibbed. "Hey um... why did you stay up so late last night." "We decided to take a longer walk than usual." Aelita wasn't technically lying. They did take a much longer walk. "All right Aelita." Yumi said, she'd had enough of this, "Ok Aelita I'm gonna be blunt. Who or what is Xana's son? Why were you up all night and where were you all night?" Aelita shook her head, "I can't tell you that. I couldn't break my promise to Jeremie." She said shortly before walking around Yumi, out the door and around the corner. Yumi ran around after her but she was gone. "Pink-haired ninja..." Yumi muttered...

Not that good I know, the next one will be better! Please R&R!
