Alexei asked as Kya and Emi exited the elevator. Alexei, Emi and Lynn had gone to Lyoko again to explore the hidden sectors. Technically, they had already explored the sectors. But their exploration had been cut short with an actived tower that targeted Kya and several others trapped at the skating ring. Everything turned out well after the tower was deactived and Cam used a Return to the Past to repeat the day. "We're stopping here for the night?"/p

Kya pointed out. "You two got devitluatived after arriving in the Tundra sector. Your lucky pratice ended when it did. Or else Emi would still be on Lyoko." During breakfast that morning, the group had opted to repeat the day and explore the hidden sectors again without Kya. Kya couldn't get out of pratice and agreed to meet them at the mansion afterwards. Pracitce had just ended when she got a call from Cam that Lynn and Alexei had both been deviltarutized and Emi was alone in the unfamiliar Tundra sector./p

It would've been to dangerous to continue with only one Defender." Cam interjected. "You also have to remember after each trip to Lyoko, Emi had to escorted to a tower so that I can use the materialztion program to bring her back to earth." Kya had a differcult time following Cam's directions to the portal, with five krabs and a swarm of hornets after them./p

Alexei lazily lounged on the pile of cushions they kept in the lab. "What I meant was, Mi'lady and the general aren't gonna stay here most of the night doing their nerd thing?"/p

Cam had planned on staying, like usual, to work on somethings. He'd assumed Emi would leave with the others. Since her arrival at Kadic, Emi hasn't helped Cam with any of the Lyoko projects. Cam didn't mind, he perfered it this way. He knew how much living on earth meant to Emi. He wanted her to fully adjust to her new life without having to worry about other things. If that meant more sleepless nights for him, so be it./p

You won't be able to use the supercompter." Completion of the vechiles wasn't high on his list of proities. But after seeing how much they helped when traveling on Lyoko, Cam thought he'd change proities for the night. "I plan on finshing them tonight."/p

So everything can be uploaded and saved in real time."/p

He approticate Emi wanting to help, but he didn't want her school work and life to suffer from the strain of the extra work. Cam was more than use to it after having done it for more than a year./p

I'm well aware that staying up all night on Lyoko and on earth will have very different affects on my body. But I assure you, I'll be fine." She gave him a knowing look. "Beside, you've noticed your progress speed has decreased since I'm no longer on Lyoko."/p

Emi would often continue Cam's work and run tests when he wasn't able to work on them. They also spent many nights working well into the early morning sometimes. The combination of their efforts sped up Cam's work and allowed them to complete the sub-hacking and other programs months head of time, than if Cam had worked on them alone./p

"Lynn mentioned earlier today that Xana's gotton stronger. Care to explain?"/p

"It's nothing much, just a simple observation." He leaned against the wall as he gathered his thoughts. "First there's the creation of two new monsters; tarantulas and the Scyphozoa." He said, refering to the first spider like monsters that easily deviatlized himself, Kya, and Alexei on their first encounter and the jellyfish like thing that tried stealing Emi's keys. "Then theres the the new sectors that Xana can send monsters to. Finally, the last attack. It's the first time Xana has phyiscally created something. Something that just so happens to resemble Lilie, someone Kya personally knowns well."/p

"If it wasn't for Kytt, Kya probably wouldn't have noticed something was wrong with 'Lilie'. What's to stop Xana from creating another one of these things? Would we even reconige them from the people we know?"/p

Alexei causally said from his spot on the floor. "It's the most approit name for them, since it's still one of Xana's Spectres, but can take human from and probably 'morph' into other forms as well." Alexei glanced over to his, who appeared confused. "You know Spectres are those werid mist/ghost like shapes that seemingly come out of know where. Those are the a sign Xana is about to attack.

I peeked over Cam's shoulder, cusious about what he's working on. For the past two hours, Cam hasn't said a word. Instead, he's been glued to the supercompter's monitor. "Cyberboard?" The design was that of a slightly oversided longboard with four large wheels. The simluation running on the screen showed the longerboard design allowed for the cyberboard to move faster and cover more distance than the cyberjet and cyberbikes. It appeared able to easily handle jumps and sudden stops like the cyberbikes, while still having the monverabiltiy and swiftness of the cyberject. Another interseting feature is it has flight capbility. The cyberjet is the only vechile that doesn't have wheels and doesn't travel on land. Instead, it hovers and moves through the air. The cyberbikes are mostly for land travel, but also has flight capbility. The front and back wheels fold down flat and _. On the cyberboard, the four wheels do the same thing, allowing for flight./p

Cam stopped typing to look up. "It has the longest reload time of all the vechiles, but is the fastest and most durable. It can take several hits before being destroyed." He let out a sigh, "If I could figure out how to get the data to load, it'll be finished and ready for use. As of right now, it's not even a protype, since nothing can be made."/p

The other three vechiles are more than enough for now. You've seen how they've helped." I glanced at the montior, reading the information it provided. Unlike the others, I can easily understand Cam's work without him explaining a thing. So far, everything appears stable and ready. So why won't the data load? The simluation showed everything would work. Oh well, it's a problem that won't be sovled tonight./p

We agreed not to work anymore tonight and just rest. Cam must be tired, he mentioned possbily watching a movie with Alexei tonight. I nearly dragged him to see the nurse once we arrived at Kadic. The walked back to school was nice. We chatted about how I liked living on earth and that since the entire group has been busy lately, everyone should take tomorrow off and not worry about Xana or Lyoko. Unless there's an attack./p

I'm half tempeted to get the others together and follow Cam afterschool tomorrow. What does he do in his real free time? Everyone has a hobby, even me. Alexei loves watching movies and playing sports. He'll sometimes play video games with Lynn or workout with Kya. Kya enjoys figure skating and video games (even through she's bad at them). She refuses to play Alexei in any video, and hasn't explained why. She mostly plays them with Cam and Lynn when Cam can't (which is most of the time). Lynn mostly listens, plays, and writes music. As for me, I've been doing a little bit of everything. I don't have a set hobby or specific activity I really enjoy. I perfer to try new experieces./p

It's their friendship that has allowed me to get to know Aelita and the others. I'm thankful to them, even through I feel like my prescence can be inconvent at times. Sometimes they'll immediatly stop a discussion when they see me appoarch. Asking them about it leads to werid looks, awkward pauses, and lame exuses. I've tried asking Wave if she's noticed this.

Alexei leaned over the back of the bench to look at his friends. It was afterschool and a rare time when the group didn't have plans. Normally at least one of them would be busy with something. But that wasn't the case for Alexei, Kya, and Lynn. The three of them had recived news from Cam that morning that they should take the day off to relax. To their suprise, he'd already had plans after school as did Emi. "Come on guys. We can't not do anything! Even Cam has something to do."/p

Sure she could be bratty at times, but everyone had some annoying quaity about them. Kya found him highly annoying on a good day./p

Kya asked, curious as to why Alexei wasn't there now. He'd been roped into helping with the play by his mom and Mara. Alexei might love movies, but acting and helping the behind the scenes was something he wanted no part of. He'd sometimes try to skip pratice by using one of them as an exuse. After a while, Kya and Lynn got tried of Mara coming around bugging them about Alexei skipping./p

Kya and Lynn both agreed. They were so bored, the two considered asking Alexei to pick out a movie to watch. Well, maybe not quite that bored yet. But they were getting there./p

He was still new to the city and school, so he'd taken some time to explore the area. He found a few places students from nearby schools like to visit and some most people didn't know about. "I've got an idea."/p

Lynn groaned, perferring to watch a movie Alexei suggested than do anything Calex suggested. To block out Calex, Lynn placed his headphones back in and turned the music all the way up. He'd zoned out everything, instead fouscing solely on his music. He'd almost come up with a new song, when Kya pulled his headphones out. "What do you think?" She asked, not knowing Lynn hadn't heard a word./p

I asked Lynn once Kya was out of ear shot. My relationship with Lynn didn't get off to the best start when we met that year before Kya transferred into Kanna. For that whole year we rarely spoke to each other, when we did it wasn't mean but not friendly either. In the time that we've formed the Lyoko Defenders, we've slowly grown into a comfortable friendship. I know it's not as strong as his and Kya's, but I think it's good enough for us to talk about things that bother us./p

Lynn said, but his tone betrayed how he felt. "I just don't want to be here." I wasn't expecting him to spill his guts, but something more than that simple phase. Something else is bothering and it's more than just the location./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;" data-p-id="6afbccdfdb3914f910125b5de34e4d3e""If you don't wanna tell me, I can get Kya." I offered. I'm not oftened that he doesn't want to open up with me. I'm just glad he didn't lie. If Lynn wanted to, he can easily put on a happy face and pretend everything's okay. It's something he use to do alot of before the Defenders was formed. It's one of the things that made me dislike him even more. I thought he was fake. Now I know better. Lynn's alot of things, but fake isn't one of them./p

Kya stood in front of a wall that held several bows. Calex was behide her, advicing her on the right one. Something about arm length, weight, and other things. I wasn't paying attention to them. Lynn however was. He's hands were balled into fists, that tightened when Calex placed a hand around Kya's wasit. Okay, there's a story behind that./p

"My father likes to hunt. He's the one who taught me archery. My mom allowed me to take lessons during the school year to keep up my skills." He eyed the bow, than looked at me. "This one will work." He handed gently put the bow into my hands, which I nearly dropped. "Careful, there heavier than they look."/p

But archery can be relaxing." He pointed to another door on the opposite wall. "We'll be going to the field so I can teach you and some pratice." Lynn was quite the whole time Calex picked out more gear and arrows for each of us. When we got to the field, Calex took several minutes to go over safety information and everything we needed to know before even holding the bow with an arrow. Calex himself demostrated how to load an arrow, aim, and fire. I thought he'd let us try next, nope. He wanted us to pracitce holding the bow correctly in a right stance and drawing the stringback. Needless to say it's harder than it looks./p

Than finally, the long wait was over, we could try firing an arrow. Lynn went first. Lynn's pretty ahthlic and skilled in many different sports, so him hitting the bottom of the target on his first try wasn't surpsing./p

He silently took a seat beside Kya, who got up to go next. Kya's althic like me and Lynn. Unlike Lynn, Kya likes working out and trying different sports from time to time. However, most of her strength is in her legs from years of figurer skating. When she released the arrow, it didn't fly far./p

Calex said between laughs. He guided Kya's attention back to the field. "Take you time and aim. Don't worry about hitting the target, focus on getting use to the bow and arrow." He placed one hand on her waist to help adjust her stance. "Put all of your strength into your arms, like your about to push off for a jump." He moved his body to match her stance and to hold just below her hand on the bow and place his hand over her's that held the arrow. "Take a deep breath, than release as you exhale."/p

From Lynn's reacts he doesn't like Calex being close to Kya. Yet, Kya's looks more than okay with everything. Wait!/p

Calex reasurred me. He offered to help, but I declined. I wanted to get this right by myself. Well after several more failed attempts from me, it was time to call it day. Lynn had managed to hit the edge of the target everytime, while Kya managed to get her arrow to land several feet away. By the time we got back to Kanna, I was to exshuated to bug Lynn for an explaination. We parted aways by the enterance, where Cam waited for me. The two of us returned home together and I told him of Lynn's werid reactions to Kya and Calex and my theory that he like Kya. Cam didn't laugh, instead he called me an idoit and told me to get some sleep. So I called Emi, she laughed and kindly informed me I was overthinking things. Guess their right, I won't know anything for sure until I speak with Lynn. For now, it's a good night's sleep, so that I can intergate him tomorrow./p

During breakfast that morning, the group had opted to repeat the day and explore the hidden sectors again without Kya. Kya couldn't get out of pratice and agreed to meet them at the mansion afterwards.

I'm well aware that staying up all night on Lyoko and on earth will have very different affects on my body. But I assure you, I'll be fine." She gave him a knowing look.

Emi would often continue Cam's work and run tests when he wasn't able to work on them. They also spent many nights working well into the early morning sometimes. The combination of their efforts sped up Cam's work and allowed them to complete the sub-hacking and other programs months head of time, than if Cam had worked on them alone./p

Kya announced, getting all of their attention. "Now that that's been decided. I'd like to discuss something important before ending tonight's meeting of _." She paused for a moment for drama effect. "Lynn mentioned earlier today that Xana's gotton stronger. Care to explain?"/p

"It's nothing much, just a simple observation." He leaned against the wall as he gathered his thoughts. "First there's the creation of two new monsters; tarantulas and the Scyphozoa." He said, refering to the first spider like monsters that easily deviatlized himself, Kya, and Alexei on their first encounter and the jellyfish like thing that tried stealing Emi's keys. "Then theres the the new sectors that Xana can send monsters to. Finally, the last attack. It's the first time Xana has phyiscally created something. Something that just so happens to resemble Lilie, someone Kya personally knowns well."/p

Would we even reconige them from the people we know?"/p

Alexei causally said from his spot on the floor. "It's the most approit name for them, since it's still one of Xana's Spectres, but can take human from and probably 'morph' into other forms as well." Alexei glanced over to his, who appeared confused. "You know Spectres are those werid mist/ghost like shapes that seemingly come out of know where. Those are the a sign Xana is about to attack. Do you guys really not know?"/p

I peeked over Cam's shoulder, cusious about what he's working on. For the past two hours, Cam hasn't said a word. Instead, he's been glued to the supercompter's monitor. "Cyberboard?" The design was that of a slightly oversided longboard with four large wheels. The simluation running on the screen showed the longerboard design allowed for the cyberboard to move faster and cover more distance than the cyberjet and cyberbikes. It appeared able to easily handle jumps and sudden stops like the cyberbikes, while still having the monverabiltiy and swiftness of the cyberject. Another interseting feature is it has flight capbility. The cyberjet is the only vechile that doesn't have wheels and doesn't travel on land. Instead, it hovers and moves through the air. The cyberbikes are mostly for land travel, but also has flight capbility. The front and back wheels fold down flat and _. On the cyberboard, the four wheels do the same thing, allowing for flight./p

Cam stopped typing to look up. "It has the longest reload time of all the vechiles, but is the fastest and most durable. It can take several hits before being destroyed." He let out a sigh, "If I could figure out how to get the data to load, it'll be finished and ready for use. As of right now, it's not even a protype, since nothing can be made."/p

The other three vechiles are more than enough for now. You've seen how they've helped." I glanced at the montior, reading the information it provided. Unlike the others, I can easily understand Cam's work without him explaining a thing. So far, everything appears stable and ready. So why won't the data load? The simluation showed everything would work. Oh well, it's a problem that won't be sovled tonight./p

I could use a good night's sleep."/p

We agreed not to work anymore tonight and just rest. Cam must be tired, he mentioned possbily watching a movie with Alexei tonight. I nearly dragged him to see the nurse once we arrived at Kadic. The walked back to school was nice. We chatted about how I liked living on earth and that since the entire group has been busy lately, everyone should take tomorrow off and not worry about Xana or Lyoko. Unless there's an attack./p

I'm half tempeted to get the others together and follow Cam afterschool tomorrow. What does he do in his real free time? Everyone has a hobby, even me. Alexei loves watching movies and playing sports. He'll sometimes play video games with Lynn or workout with Kya. Kya enjoys figure skating and video games (even through she's bad at them). She refuses to play Alexei in any video, and hasn't explained why. She mostly plays them with Cam and Lynn when Cam can't (which is most of the time). Lynn mostly listens, plays, and writes music. As for me, I've been doing a little bit of everything. I don't have a set hobby or specific activity I really enjoy. I perfer to try new experieces./p

I haven't seen him in a while." Cam's been friends with Jermie for about two years. They're penpals, even through they attend school less then a mile from each other. It's their friendship that has allowed me to get to know Aelita and the others. I'm thankful to them, even through I feel like my prescence can be inconvent at times. Sometimes they'll immediatly stop a discussion when they see me appoarch. Asking them about it leads to werid looks, awkward pauses, and lame exuses. I've tried asking Wave if she's noticed this. Of course she hasn't. She's to busy listening to her handphones most times./p

Alexei leaned over the back of the bench to look at his friends. It was afterschool and a rare time when the group didn't have plans. Normally at least one of them would be busy with something. But that wasn't the case for Alexei, Kya, and Lynn. The three of them had recived news from Cam that morning that they should take the day off to relax. To their suprise, he'd already had plans after school as did Emi. "Come on guys. We can't not do anything! Even Cam has something to do."/p

Sure she could be bratty at times, but everyone had some annoying quaity about them. Kya found him highly annoying on a good day./p

This left Alexei with few options of who to text at the last mintue./p

Kya asked, curious as to why Alexei wasn't there now. He'd been roped into helping with the play by his mom and Mara. Alexei might love movies, but acting and helping the behind the scenes was something he wanted no part of. He'd sometimes try to skip pratice by using one of them as an exuse. After a while, Kya and Lynn got tried of Mara coming around bugging them about Alexei skipping./p

I asked Lynn once Kya was out of ear shot. My relationship with Lynn didn't get off to the best start when we met that year before Kya transferred into Kanna. For that whole year we rarely spoke to each other, when we did it wasn't mean but not friendly either. In the time that we've formed the Lyoko Defenders, we've slowly grown into a comfortable friendship. I know it's not as strong as his and Kya's, but I think it's good enough for us to talk about things that bother us./p

Lynn said, but his tone betrayed how he felt. "I just don't want to be here." I wasn't expecting him to spill his guts, but something more than that simple phase. Something else is bothering and it's more than just the location./p

I offered. I'm not oftened that he doesn't want to open up with me. I'm just glad he didn't lie. If Lynn wanted to, he can easily put on a happy face and pretend everything's okay. It's something he use to do alot of before the Defenders was formed. It's one of the things that made me dislike him even more. I thought he was fake. Now I know better. Lynn's alot of things, but fake isn't one of them./p

Kya stood in front of a wall that held several bows. Calex was behide her, advicing her on the right one. Something about arm length, weight, and other things. I wasn't paying attention to them. Lynn however was. He's hands were balled into fists, that tightened when Calex placed a hand around Kya's wasit. Okay, there's a story behind that./p

I walked over to them, eyeing the different bows on the wall. There's so many to chose from. How does Calex know which ones to give us?/p

"My father likes to hunt. He's the one who taught me archery. My mom allowed me to take lessons during the school year to keep up my skills." He eyed the bow, than looked at me. "This one will work." He handed gently put the bow into my hands, which I nearly dropped. "Careful, there heavier than they look."/p

I aware of the weight, I was ready when he handed me the bow a second time. "Don't tell me we're going hunting?"/p

But archery can be relaxing." He pointed to another door on the opposite wall. "We'll be going to the field so I can teach you and some pratice." Lynn was quite the whole time Calex picked out more gear and arrows for each of us. When we got to the field, Calex took several minutes to go over safety information and everything we needed to know before even holding the bow with an arrow. Calex himself demostrated how to load an arrow, aim, and fire. I thought he'd let us try next, nope. He wanted us to pracitce holding the bow correctly in a right stance and drawing the stringback. Needless to say it's harder than it looks./p

Than finally, the long wait was over, we could try firing an arrow. Lynn went first. Lynn's pretty ahthlic and skilled in many different sports, so him hitting the bottom of the target on his first try wasn't surpsing./p

Calex asked Lynn, probably impressed./p

He silently took a seat beside Kya, who got up to go next. Kya's althic like me and Lynn. Unlike Lynn, Kya likes working out and trying different sports from time to time. However, most of her strength is in her legs from years of figurer skating. When she released the arrow, it didn't fly far./p

I brusted into a fit of laugher. It's a good thing she can't use a bow, the glares she gave said she wanted to use me as a target./p

Calex said between laughs. He guided Kya's attention back to the field. "Take you time and aim. Don't worry about hitting the target, focus on getting use to the bow and arrow." He placed one hand on her waist to help adjust her stance. "Put all of your strength into your arms, like your about to push off for a jump." He moved his body to match her stance and to hold just below her hand on the bow and place his hand over her's that held the arrow. "Take a deep breath, than release as you exhale."/p

He was visiblily displeased with Calex's closeness with Kya. Kya didn't seem to mind it, in fact she appeared to like it. Okay, just what is going on? From Lynn's reacts he doesn't like Calex being close to Kya. Yet, Kya's looks more than okay with everything. Wait!/p

I answered honestly. "But I wanna try by myself first." I walked up to the line that marked where to stand. I repeated everything Calex had taught and showed. Too bad my arrow didn't get far./p

Calex reasurred me. He offered to help, but I declined. I wanted to get this right by myself. Well after several more failed attempts from me, it was time to call it day. Lynn had managed to hit the edge of the target everytime, while Kya managed to get her arrow to land several feet away. By the time we got back to Kanna, I was to exshuated to bug Lynn for an explaination. We parted aways by the enterance, where Cam waited for me. The two of us returned home together and I told him of Lynn's werid reactions to Kya and Calex and my theory that he like Kya. Cam didn't laugh, instead he called me an idoit and told me to get some sleep. So I called Emi, she laughed and kindly informed me I was overthinking things. Guess their right, I won't know anything for sure until I speak with Lynn. For now, it's a good night's sleep, so that I can intergate him tomorrow./p
