I just can't stop writing. As soon as I finish one I have to start another. I bet this is good for you all though, it means that you can see what happens next quicker. Well, unfortunately, if this carries over into when I am in school, that won't be happening... Sorry.

The Mystery of the Traveler

Aelita:

(During the second time Lyoko was hacked)

Jeremie had just asked me to send him all of the data that I had descrambled. I was agreeing to send it to him when suddenly the link was cut. I tried to reopen the link but for some reason it was frozen again. As I watched the frozen window the X.A.N.A. symbol suddenly appeared, then it began being redrawn as the same symbol as before.

I had no idea what this meant, or what was going on. If this meant that what ever it was that had been able to hack into Lyoko before was taking over X.A.N.A. then it was possible that I was in far more danger than even Jeremie could get me out of. If what ever was hacking in right now was that powerful there would be no way to stop it.

Suddenly behind the window came a flash of light, when I looked again there was a man standing there. The man was wearing what looked almost like a Lyoko outfit; it was a long cloak and a long cape. The man also had a hood on which was hiding his golden blond hair.

"Hello, Aelita. I have come to Lyoko to get you." Said the man.

"What, who are you? How do you know my name?" I asked.

"I will explain in good time, child, but now is not that time." He told me. "For now I need to bring you to earth; Lyoko is about to undergo a very dramatic, yet magnificent change."

"What do you mean, 'take me to earth?' And what is this change you are talking about?" I asked him.

"I don't have time to explain. Your friends are, or will be waiting for you. All that I ask is that you trust me."

"How do I know that you aren't X.A.N.A. trying to trick me?"

"That is a good point… But if I were X.A.N.A., or rather the virus that infected X.A.N.A. wouldn't I have tried to attack you yet? Besides have you ever actually seen X.A.N.A. take material form in Lyoko?"

"Yes, he created a virtual world parallel to Lyoko and became one of my friends there."

"Ah, but you see that was not Lyoko, that was a world parallel to Lyoko." Said the man. "Now come, I do not have much time before I must be somewhere else."

As soon as he had finished speaking a guardian began to form around me. I panicked, realizing that I had been tricked, that this was X.A.N.A. because only X.A.N.A. had the ability to control the monsters in Lyoko. I began to pass out, and slowly went into darkness…

When I awoke I found myself floating in a white void. I looked down at myself and found that I was slowly changing into my earth self. I was nearly completely done, and almost fully human. I began to wonder if the man had been telling the truth, I knew that this was not the inside of a guardian, having been in one before.

As I looked around I suddenly realized that I had been here before. This was the 'in-between' place that Jeremie had been trapped in a while ago. I began wondering how long I had been there. If I had been there for to long I would begin being deleted by the computer, and I really didn't want to die that way after all that I had survived through.

As I began to think about death I suddenly realized how much I waned to live. I began to think of Jeremie and the short time we spent together on earth. I waned to see him again. I truly wanted to see him and my other friends again.

Calm down, said a voice. You are not going to die; I am just putting you here temporarily. You will see your friends shortly.

"Where are you?" I asked.

I am currently on earth. I am speaking to you through a form of telepathic thought-speech. I have to go, but you will see your friends again in just a moment.

I suddenly found myself fully human. I was just like I appeared on earth. I felt happy again; I knew that I would see my friends again.

I bet you are really wondering what the traveler is now. Well, wait until next chapter. It will be nicely explained. I just hope the explanation won't take to long... like last time.
