Chapter 6 - Questions and Answers

Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremie and Aelita gazed down at the girl layed curled up in the scanner.

She had long, black hair which fell all around her, still coyled into a bun like on Lyoko. She was opposite to her twin, and wore all white. A long wite skirt reached her ankles, with a white tiny-tee over it all. White trainers covered her feet, and a silver charm bracelette hung round her wrist.

'Yana!'

'Yumi!'

The other watched as the twins embraced again, crying from their happiness. When eventually they were done, they turned to face them all again, making them look even more like the twins they were as they stood side by side.

Yana looked to Yumi. 'We'd better explain, hadn't we Yumi?' she said. Yumi hung her head and nodded.

'Please don't be mad.' she whispered, before muttering something to Yana, who hugged her briefly once more. She faced the group again.

'We told you we'd explain, you want to sit down first?' she said, 'It's a long story.'

They all sat down opposite the twins in the main computer room and waited. 'I'll explain.' they heard Yana tell Yumi kindly, who nodded and refused to look at the others.

'Seven years ago, me and Yumi moved here.' Yana started.

'We met a kind teacher, called Mr Hopper. Franz Hopper. We found Lyoko, and him here one day. That's how we found the passageway.' Yana stopped as Odd, Ulrich, Jeremie and Aelita gasped at Yumi.

'Why didn't you tell us Yumi?' asked Ulrich, not unkindly though. Yumi could only shake her head though, as her tears fell to the floor below her.

'We learnt all about Lyoko, and the virus inside it, X.A.N.A. We were sent into Lyoko to become its first saviours. Not even Aelita was around then.' Yana told them. Aelita nodded, and the others gasped once more.

'I won't even ask..' Odd decided.

'For two years we fought X.A.N.A by going into Lyoko with Franz' help. Then there was a prophecy. It said X.A.N.A would get stronger, and take over earth and that only me and Yumi could stop him.'

'Franz sent us into Lyoko so often, that in the end we had to tell our parents. They were ok with it all, but don't know Yumi's back in now.' Yana said, as Yumi nodded in confirmation.

'On the last two times we went there to deactivate X.A.N.A, I was devirtualised by first a black hornet, then a black crab. On my final trip to Lyoko, we fought X.A.N.A face-to-face. He was in the forest, and was opening a portal to destroy Lyoko once and for all.'

'If X.A.N.A had opened the portal, then all of Lyoko, including me and Yumi, would have been sucked and locked into sector five.' Yana told them, and Yumi sudenly looked at her sister.

'S-Sector five?' she asked her. Yana nodded.

'X.A.N.A created it as his control room, so to speak. Before he started the portal, he shut everything down in there, so it was completely useless to anybody. At the last minute though, I pushed im into his own portal, thus closing it. The thing is I went in too.' Yana revealed sadly.

'But how does Aelita come into this?' asked Jeremie suddenly. Yana smiled sadly at Aelita and bowed her head.

'When I went into the portal, I caused some file reactions. I saw what could happen, and apointed Aelita the new Lyoko-saviour. And although she was joined to lyoko, I was able to help her.' Yumi looked up at her sister again, in surprise.

'I was in sector five all this time - fighting X.A.N.A. Then he caged me, and so I could only watch. I went through all the files, trying to help you more than myself. I gave you your powers, and watched you battle.'

'You never saw or heard me, but I was there. Even if Yumi wasn't there, I was. I also saw you materialising Aelita, and how X.A.N.A infected her. I tried to stop him, really I did. Instead I looked for an anti-virus.' Yana told them.

'As soon as I figured out how to, I closed the link between me and X.A.N.A, and Lyoko too. Then I gave you the file that would temporarily freeze X.A.N.A while I was materialised. That's how I know so much about Lyoko. I'm sorry.'

Yana and Yumi hung their heads sadly, as they all took it in.

'Thanks.' Aelita said simply, smiling at them both. Everyone stared at her, before Yana grinned back.

'What for? We lied to you.'

'Yes,' she said slowly and carefully, 'but you also created me!'
