(Author's Note: What happens when something comes back after it was killed? Can the gang save one of their own, or the shadows will consume the one? Will they be able to save the world again? This is part 2 to story of The Warrior of Lyoko. )
Chapter 1- What's going on?
It has been a year since the gang fought XANA, and they were enjoying the warm, summer like day. Yumi was senior, and the rest of the gang was juniors. Laura and Odd sat under a tree. Laura had her head on Odd's shoulder. They were waiting for the rest of the gang. Laura looked at Odd.
"You know it has been a year since we killed XANA." Laura said.
"I know. I can't believe it. It was just like yesterday that you and I met. That is when I knew you and I belonged together."
"We make a perfect couple."
"Yes we do. I'm glad Ulrich has you as a sister."
"I'm glad too." Laura said. She turned her head to see Yumi and Ulrich running to them. Over summer, Ulrich grew four inches. He was taller than Yumi now. Still Yumi could out run Ulrich.
"I'm going to beat you, Yumi." Ulrich said. He didn't saw the tree root, he tripped over it, and he fell on his face. Laura got up, she walked over to Ulrich, and she sat on her knees. Ulrich looked up.
"Are you ok, Ulrich?" Laura asked.
"Yeah" Ulrich replied as he smiled at Laura. Laura returned the smile. He got up. He helped Laura back to her feet. She still wore her Japanese uniform. She still had the pink inch long strip on her left side of her hair. Her hair grew longer. She grew two inches over the summer. Odd grew five inches, and now he was just as tall as Ulrich. Jeremy grew three inches, and Aelita grew two inches. Odd and Yumi walked over to Laura and Ulrich.
"I win." Yumi said as she smiled.
"You just got lucky. Next time, I will win." Ulrich said.
"I will like to see you try." Yumi said.
"Hey guys!" Jeremy yelled as he ran up to the gang. Aelita was right behind him.
"What's up?" Laura asked.
"Let's go swimming. It is hot today." Aelita said.
"Ok, let's go." Ulrich said. The gang went to their rooms, changed into their swimming suits, grabbed their towels, and they headed to the pool.
Meanwhile, a shadow was watching the gang. It mostly watched Laura.
"My master will be back. When he is back, he will have you." The shadow said.
"That was fun. I didn't know that Laura could dive." Odd said.
"I told you." Laura said.
"I don't remember." Odd said. Laura stuck out her tongue at him.
"Odd, you should remember. She told you last week." Yumi said.
"Oh, the only I remember something about swimming." Odd said with one of his smiles on his face.
"Odd, you're a jerk." Laura said in an angry tone. She walked away from Odd.
"I'm just joking." Odd said as he tried to catch up with Laura. He grabbed Laura's arm.
"Odd, you better say sorry." Ulrich said.
"I'm sorry." Odd said with puppy dog look. Laura couldn't resist, and she hugged him.
"I forgive you." Laura said.
"Laura, you are amazing." Aelita said.
"Thanks" Laura said. Then William showed up. Odd and Ulrich stood between Laura and him.
"Hello Laura" William said.
"Hello William" Laura said back. Laura noticed something different about William's eyes. His eyes were cold. They were black, not brown. (A/n: I really don't know William's eye, so I'm guessing they are brown.)
"How are you doing?" William asked.
"I have been doing fine." Laura said.
"I heard that you are the recantation of the warrior. Is that true?" William asked.
"Yes it is true. What are you doing here? I thought you got kicked out." Laura said.
"I promise Mr. Delmas that if he let me come back, that I will be good." William said. Laura got a shiver up her back. She knew something wasn't right.
"Well, William, I got to go." Laura said.
"See you later." William said as he walked past the gang. He walked around the corner of the hallway and disappeared. Odd putted his arm around Laura's waist.
"Are you ready to go?" Odd asked causing Laura to snap out of her daze. The gang started to walk down the hallway.
"Yeah" Laura said. Ulrich saw Laura looked worry.
"What's the matter, sis?" Ulrich asked.
"Something is different about William. He seemed cold." Laura said.
"Don't worry about him. He is just mad that you are still with me." Odd said. Laura smiled at him.
Laura was asleep when she woke up with an uneasy feeling. She thought she saw something in her room. She turned on her light next to her bed, and she didn't find anything weird. She turned off the light. The room turned icy cold. She felt a pair of cold hands. One of the hands covered Laura's mouth, and the other one touched Laura's shoulder. Laura felt something burned into her shoulder. In a few second, the burning stopped, and the hands disappeared. Laura turned the light on again, and she didn't find anyone in her room. She felt her shoulder were she felt the burning. She couldn't feel anything.
"That's was weird." Laura thought as she turned off the light. She slide back under blankets. In no time, she was asleep.
"Has the warrior been marked?" The shadow said.
"Yes it had." The boy said. His eyes shone bright red.
"Good. The master will please with your help." The shadow said.
"Thank. I'm glad that I can serve the master." The boy said.
"That is what the master wanted to hear." The shadow said.
"The warrior will never know what will happen." The boy said laughing.
(Author's Note: Who is the master? What does he want with Laura? Who is this shadow? Who is the boy? NO FLAMES PLEASE!)
