Hi! Dragon-Grrrrl here! Sorry I took so long, but I had to do a major book repot that had to be typed out. In fact, I just turned it in yesterday! I think it was, uh, ten pages of type and hand drawn pictures. I'm actually pretty good at drawing, especially dragons. Now on to chappie three! I own Natalie and now her Lyoko person! And the plot!
Chapter Three: Aelita and the Factory
"Whoa," was all that any of the group said as they approached the gigantic factory. They had crossed a long bridge on the other side of town to get there, and they were amazed at the sheer size of the place.
"Well," Jeremy finally said, "let's go in." With that, they proceeded inside.
The whole factory was a dark, mangled mess of wires, cobwebs, old equipment, and other things a little too gross to talk about. Sounds of the random scuttling of rats, mice, and other vermin made their way to the teens' ears and scared the heck out of them. But none of them were quick to show their fear.
"Hey, look," Ulrich said, pointing to a large pillar in the middle of the room. "An elevator! I wonder if it still works?" They inspected it and Jeremy decided it did, in fact, still work.
"And I can crack the code for the dial, too." Within seconds, Jeremy had opened the elevator and they were going up.
On the next floor up was a giant computer system, a mess of cables, wires, and other technical stuff. Jeremy wanted to inspect it, but everyone else wanted to go up to the next floor.
The next floor up was even more incredible.
"Oh my God," Jeremy gasped. It was a control panel for the mega computer one floor down, equipped with everything a computer genius could dream of, let alone want. What looked like a 3D projector stood in the middle of the room, along with a table for the monitor and keyboard. All it needed was the monitor and keyboard.
Luckily, Jeremy had his laptop and began to work at unraveling the secrets of the super computer. Everyone else knew that they wouldn't get Jeremy away this time and decided to go on up without him.
"We're gonna go up to the last floor, Jeremy," Natalie said before turning and going with the others to the elevator.
On the last floor were pods. Not like pea pods, futuristic ones like you would see on Star Trek that they use to teleport people.
There were four in all and they were just big enough for them. Suddenly, a light flashed inside them and everyone jumped and ran to the elevator.
Jeremy was talking to himself. Or, at least, that's what they thought until they heard a voice talk back from inside the computer.
"You are from, Earth? I do not know of there. Is it nice?" The voice was feminine and coming from Jeremy's laptop.
"It's okay, I guess. But I bet living in a computer is even better."
"There is never anything to do. No one to talk to… Well, not since my creator said he had to go." Everyone gathered around the screen. On it was the head of a pink haired Asian girl.
"Who are they, Jeremy?"
"These are my friends, Aelita. Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and Natalie. Guys, this is Aelita. She's a computer program, in a computer-designed world called Lyoko. And," Jeremy brought up a couple of screens, showing four different digitally created pictures. One showed a kimono girl in an orange(?) kimono wielding a razor sharp throwing fan. The second was a boy with a purple cat outfit, complete with black stripes and a tail. His weapons were arrowheads shot at an incredible speed by pressing a button on his arm. The third character was a young samurai with a long katana (I'm guessing it's a katana) and wearing an orange(?) tight-fitting suit and a white headband. The last character was an angel with gigantic feathery wings and wearing a billowing white shirt tucked into tight white jeans. Her weapons are arrows of light and a bow slung across her back. (I made that up for Natalie! )
"I can transport you guys into the word. I've tinkered with it enough that I know how. It's quite easy and absolutely safe," Jeremy assured them. "Just pick a character." (you should know who is who, so I'm not going through it) Once the four were in, they went to Lyoko.
(note: I am now DG, because Dragon-Grrrrl takes to long to write)
DG: Hi!
Natalie: I'm here today!
DG: Soooo… How was today's installment?
Natalie: Overdue.
DG: Sor-ry. :P
Natalie: :P Alright. DG has two polls for the viewers! BOTH ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT REQUIRED!
1. What do you think of Natalie's character in Lyoko?
A. It's awesome!
B. It's okay.
C. It sucks.
D. I can do better than THAT! Suggestion:
If I see a suggestion I like better, I'll change mine! No revealing stuff- something bright and fluffy. I'd prefer to keep the bow and arrows, but a crossbow might also be cool, or a sling. I'd like wings, too. But please, no black. She isn't a black kind of girl. Stick to white, yellow, pink, light blue, or light green.
2. What should be my next writing topic?
A. Danny Phantom
B. Tamora Pierce
C. Digimon
If you've never heard of any of them, here are their descriptions:
Danny Phantom: 14 year-old Danny Fenton is a normal teenage kid, if you don't count his ghost-hunting parents and sister whose life dream is to be a child psychiatrist. He was, anyway, until something in one of his parent's experiments goes wrong and he turns into a ghost kid! Now he has to deal with school, love, AND trying to keep the world safe from the evil ghosts that terrorize his town!
Tamora Pierce: All of Tamora Pierce's many series, including Protector of the Small and the Circle of Magic Quartet, are about extraordinary girls and women who become knights and mages in an era were girls are considered housewives and inferior. Placed in a magical medieval world! (Awesome books for girls, BOYS STAY AWAY!!)
Digimon: The various seasons (four groups of kids in all) are about kids who save the two worlds, Real World and Digital World, with the help of creatures called digimon. Yes, I know that there is also the spirit things, but if I write one the characters will have digimon.
DG: And a big thank you to YumiAndUlrich4Ever and Iwo Jima fallen one for their reviews! Keep 'em comin'!! I'm so happy that people enjoy my work! I almost thought everyone would say I suck! Also, if the color of any of the character's costumes are wrong, and I think they are, tell me! It's been awhile since I've watched the show… Bad me… Bye!
