Well everyone this one is a little shorter, but I needed to get this chapter out of the way to get on to the next exciting part of the story, you'll understand what I mean once you read, oh and read cause there is somethingat the end that will make you want an update tomorrow. Oh and to answer dark reb real quick. I don't know, Xana felt good that day so he attacked twice. If we could understand Xana he wouldn't be a threat.
After hanging up the phone, Odd grabbed a very confused and slightly irritated Kasey by the hand and led her towards the sewer. Odd pulled away the manhole and started climbing down.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Kasey, I know it seems like the last place to explain, but this is the fastest way to the factory. Just trust me ok."
"I don't trust anything anymore Odd." Even with her protests she still climbed down after Odd.
The two made their way through the sewer and arrived at the factory. When Odd leapt and slid down the rope Kasey's eyes grew big.
"Odd be careful!"
"Relax Kasey, you shouldn't get excited just yet, the big surprises are still to come."
Kasey slowly grabbed a rope and slid down. When she looked around she saw Odd was joined by his four other friends. The group motioned for her to follow and they quietly entered the freight elevator. Kasey scooted closer to Odd as the doors closed and the elevator descended. The elevator stopped and Jeremy put his hand on the door close button trapping them all inside.
"Kasey…before you …well before we let you know everything that is going on, we must have your word that you won't tell anyone about it, this secret is a matter of life or death for…"
Jeremy was interrupted by Kasey who was no longer nervous as sheer curiosity was beginning to take over, "Jeremy, you are the only people I know, don't worry, I know more about life and death secrets than you think."
Ulrich looked confused, "what do you mean?"
"Ulrich, guys, I'll let you know my true past once I know your secret okay?"
Everyone nodded and Jeremy removed his hand from the button and the doors slid open. Kasey wasn't prepared for what she saw. A giant control room with the largest computer she'd ever seen literally took her breath away. When she came back to herself she just stared at the others.
"What is this?"
"Well we don't know everything yet, but this a supercomputer that can virtualize objects or people into a virtual world known as Lyoko."
As Jeremy continued explaining the fight against Xana, the return to the past, the different regions of Lyoko and the discovery of the super-computer, a confusion and utter lack of understanding swept over Kasey.
"That's ok, none of us except for Aelita understand his mumbo jumbo when it comes to computers." Odd said as he took Kasey's hand and led her to the elevator. "Now let's show you the scanner room."
"They'd make a cute couple don't you think?" Yumi asked Ulrich.
"I suppose so, I'm just wondering what this secret past is she mentioned."
Yumi nodded and walked to stand next to Jeremy who was getting ready to scan Odd into the computer and send him to Lyoko as a small demonstration.
"Odd you in the scanner?"
"Yep, I'm ready, can I go exploring?"
"No!" Everyone, including Kasey yelled.
As the doors closed, Odd winked at Kasey and waited to be virtualized. Jeremy ran through the usual routine and the scanner opened up to reveal no Odd. Kasey gasped in shock.
"All right Odd, time to return."
"Already?"
"Yes Odd" Jeremy grumbled as he entered in the program to bring Odd back.
The doors to the scanner opened and Odd jumped out, happy as ever. Kasey walked over to him.
"Does it hurt?"
"Not a bit, well unless I get shot by Xana's monsters than I'm a little sore but I'm pretty tough you…."
Odd was interrupted by the elevator doors opening. Jeremy, Yumi, Ulrich and Aelita all stepped off.
"Alright Kasey now it's your turn." Ulrich stated.
Kasey sighed, "I need you to understand that what I'm about to tell you is going to not only put my life in danger but possibly yours as well."
The longtime friends exchanged quick glances and each nodded.
"Go ahead Kasey we can't wait to hear." Odd said sitting down as if to partake in story time.
"Well it all began…."
Well I know how much you hate cliffhangers, but you will want to hang around, the next chapter will tell a lot of Kasey's history and may give some clues into why she remembers. All for now, please review (:
