Chapter 1: Nightmares

Disclaimer: I do not own code lyoko or anything abbout it. (At least not in this universe : )

"Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp, " The hideous sound kept ringing in her ears oh would it ever cease. Aelita thought as she opened her eyes. "NO!" She shrieked she looked at the land around her and then her own body. "It couldn't be" she said to herself in fear..." She was on Lyoko But how "Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp, Bumbomp" The horrible pulsations throbbed first in her head then spread to the rest of her body. She began breathing heavily each pulsation seeming to threaten the soundness of her program as she felt the tremors in her own body it was maddening she could sense XANA behind her.

And then she ran, She didn't know. She didn't know where or why but anything was better than this those terrible pulsations like the heartbeat of some ancient demon awakening after an eon in slumber. She could feel him everywhere. The desert, The ice, the forest , and even the sacred mountains. She ran and ran and ran but It was in vain.

"How?" She questioned "We shut down XANA 10 years ago I watched as Ulrich deeply pierced his side. that ungodly specter fall to the virtual ground in the desert sector. and then the very monsters that he once controlled fall upon him as he fought like a titan in the Midst of Mere giants. Oh She shuttered it was sickening sight to behold as the Demi-god of Lyoko fell once and for all at the very hand of his own creations. XANA paid a high price for leavening the super computer. He could no longer hide in his 5 the sector from the aftermath and it meant the end of him. Or that was what they thought. How could he be back Resurrected once again to threaten all life on the planet possibly the Universe.

Suddenly Aelita stopped she had come to the edge of the land and stared down at the digital void below her, she turned her face became sick as what she saw made her usual light heart stop. An entire Legion of XANAs monsters right there behind her. An impassable wall of Mega tanks, Tarantulas, blocks and hornets. She began calling out for Jeremy" "Jeremy, Jeremy! she yelled Expecting him to come in any second now but nothing.

Fear swept over her as it had never before in either of her lives real or virtual. as the creatures began to fire. She dogged the first few bit there were seemingly hundreds. She felt the lasers sting and burn it was a new lyoko sensation but one she had become accustomed to in the real world pain. as the mega tank blast hit her she felt herself slide out into the Digital void all the while yelling. "JJJEERRMMEEYYY!"

Suddenly Aelita sat up in bed covered in a cold sweat. Breathing like she had sprinted an 33k marathon. Her eyes were filled with tears and for once she was glad to see Jeremy's portrait of Albert Einstein on the bedroom wall with the little light produced by the lightning outside. It was all she had left of him after that fateful battle 10 years ago.

"O..Oh ...God" she panted it was just a dream she put her hands on he temples and shook her head trying to shake those terrible dreams but nothing worked it was just so real. There was another flash of light followed by the deafening crack if of thunder. Rain beat upon her single window like a storm from XANA himself. But he was dead or at least that's what everyone thought.

Aelita sat there on the bed for a few moments gathering her bearings as the thunder and lightning danced thyer celestial waltz of sound and light about her dark room. "Sigh, Well I guess theirs no better than the present." she thought running her hands over her short pink hair and placing her feet on the hardwood floor she still wore a large light pink night shirt with a big A on it. It was cold and bit into her feet until she slipped on some pink furry clogs and switched on her computer. It was a large Machine with three linked operating towers, all place on the floor under and about the desk. As it booted up the fans made a loud whirling noise before settling down as the monitor flickered on. On it was a picture of Her and Jeremy they were both smiling and had their arms around each other and Jeremy was blushing. Aelita cracked a weak smile as she entered around 80 characters for her password prompt. she remembered those days so well all the fun they had together the old gang. However she was startled out of the past by the sudden wave of information that flooded her monitor.

"Now is a good a time as any." she said to herself as she cracked her knuckles and began furiously typing on the black keyboard. She watched as strings of binary, hexadecimal and .exe's flooded the monitor. she worked for what seemed hours bypassing one security system after another when.

"BOOM!" a huge blast of thunder cracked just outside of her window she felt her internal organs jarred about inside. And thought that the window in front of her would shatter, but thank god it didn't. Quickly she looked up from her monitor and out of her window only to see he damage that this storm was doing and then it came a huge wave of darkness as the electricity began to flicker in the building.

"Damnit not now!" she cursed "im so close!" she began typeing like a woman posessed typing to beat the rolling blackout before it hit her power grid. after much pounding on the keyboard she finally did it but as the City's network interface screen came up there was a sudden darkness and her monoter flickered and...and... everything went black. but strangely Aelita could hear the gentle sound of the Towers fans.

"Oh I just shut my eyes." she thought to herself opening them. Marracusly the computer was still on. "Sigh" she let out a sigh of relief and patted a box next to her desk. "Thank goodness I bought this old hydrogen fuel cell generator in Brazil." She said hugging it. "Now if I can only find that energy signal." she whispered as she started the modified superscan program she had adapted from Jeremy's old one it began pulling up various grids and interfaces looking for something. All the while she sat there wishing, wondering, and hoping that it would something anything that could help her. Then she looked at the picture odd had drawn of all of them 10 years ago 10 long years since she had seen Jeremy or any of the others 10 grueling years, but maybe tonight that would change. Where were they what were they doing and would they be willing to help she thought as she sat there hugging her kneese and tears welled up in her dark green eyes and the only light in the building her monitor continued to run through screens of code.
