What the past taught us
Chapter 8
That's right I'm back and I know you all want to know what has and what is going to happen so I'll concentrate on this story for a while
"Who exactly are you" Aelita questioned the copy of her self
"Well the best way to put it is I am the small link with lyoko you still have" the slightly shorter version of Aelita said
The real Aelita looked at the person in front of her she recognised the figure it was her old self when she had been in lyoko as a kid now she was taller in lyoko though she was still wearing what she would usually wear in lyoko
"So why am I here" Aelita said still questioning what was happening
"I don't know all I know is that the link with lyoko has been inside you even after you shut down xana still connecting you to lyoko in your own special way"
The real Aelita looked around strangely she could hear voices quiet voices only some words could be heard words like "Aelita" and "mom" the voices could not be recognised but in her heart she could tell who it was if it was any one it would be Odd and James
"Can you hear those voices" Aelita said
The younger Aelita nodded "I suggest you go to them maybe they will help you get out of here" the older Aelita ran off heading in the direction of the voices what she didn't see was the figure she believed to be a younger version of her self start walking and having a grey shadow follow her moves
In the real world everyone was still sitting around Aelita Odd was still in the chair he had been in all night but now had James sitting on him Yumi was sitting down with Gina and Kai standing up insisting that their parents needed all the energy they could get even though Ulrich wasn't there right now
Odds hand was holding Aelita hoping she would be able to feel it he kept speaking quietly to her saying her name hoping that it would wake her even the small amount of doubt inside him didn't put him off
James did the same he wasn't fooled by his father after a few minutes he realised what was happening after a while he sat on the same bed as Aelita and resting his head against Aelita's shoulder
The girls looked at each other their stomachs were rumbling they could feel it even though they tried to not think about it Yumi looked at them and just nodded and as soon as she nodded the girls turned round and left searching for food
Ulrich had gone for a walk out side for a while trying to figure out what might have happened there were a few things that could of happened all of them ended with Jeremy on the floor bleeding there were certain things to be taken into account like what ever had happened it severely traumatised Aelita but it must have been really bad but Aelita is incredibly strong she's been through a lot before
Ulrich sighed and was about to head back into the hospital when he spotted the girls coming out of the front doors "where are you two going" Ulrich said as the girls stopped in their tracks
"Too get food everyone is hungry aren't you dad" Gina said
Ulrich thought about it for a minute feeling his stomach rumble realising that he was hungry but he was to busy out here to realise "lets go and find some then but we'll need a lot if Odd is hungry" Ulrich joked
The three then kept walking looking for a place to by some sandwiches or something to eat
Back In the hospital Yumi was sitting down and had watched both Odd and James fall asleep he laughed quietly not wanting to wake them up Yumi stood up "I'll be back in a few minutes" she said walking off she was thinking about what Jeremy said yesterday she couldn't put her finger on it but something was wrong she entered Jeremy's room
"hello Jeremy" she said looking at Jeremy and Sissi who was sitting next to him "hello Yumi" Jeremy said smiling Sissi turned round and smiled at Yumi but in her mind was growling and snarling like a mad dog
"Nice to see you again Yumi" she said
"You too"
"How did you know Jeremy was here" Sissi asked it couldn't be a coincidence that Yumi would just stroll in
"Well we visited him last night after Odd told us what happened"
Jeremy jumped a little but neither women in the room noticed he quickly wondered if they knew more than they were telling him "yes they came a while after I arrived here" Jeremy said breaking the small silence
"Well that's nice of them Jeremy told me what he could remember" Sissi said and stood up
"Could I talk to you outside for a minute" Sissi said motioning to Yumi to step outside the door she did and Sissi joined her
"If Aelita has anything to do with this she'll be in trouble" Sissi said quite angrily and slightly raising a fist
"Back down Sissi and don't you ever raise a fist at me" Yumi said grabbing Sissi's arm and pulling it down away from her
Sissi pulled her arm away from Yumi and swung a punch Yumi ducked and grabbed Sissi's arm again and pulled it round her back "listen if I pull any harder you'll be glad that you're in a hospital" Yumi said from behind Sissi
"Let go" Sissi said in a small amount of pain
"Promise to be a good little girl" Yumi said slightly mocking Sissi
Yumi let go despite how Sissi would act but all she did was head back into Jeremy's room Yumi just stood at the door for about a minute then went to see if Odd was up or if Ulrich or the girls were back with some food she was starving
When she arrived nothing had changed the Odd was still asleep so was James and both Ulrich and the girls hadn't gotten back yet she just sat back down looked at Aelita "what happened Aelita what happened before we got there" Yumi said as a couple of tears fell from her eyes
Ulrich and the girls were getting some things for Odd, James and Yumi they had sandwiches and a couple of drinks "ok do we have everything" Gina said looking at everything they had picked up "yes for the final time" Kai said getting angry that her sister as usual was taking ages "I'm just being careful"
"yea being careful that you're a loser" Kai said annoying her sister "I dare you to say that again" Gina said taking a step closer to her sister her temper raising "cool it you two" Ulrich said turning round and looking at the girls
"but…" they both said
"I know what you are going to say that she started it" Ulrich interrupted
The three of them collected what they had bought and headed back to the hospital Ulrich's thoughts went back to what happened to Aelita he was sure that as soon as Aelita was awake everything could be sorted out
"I can't hear them anymore" Aelita said "where did they go" the younger Aelita just shrugged she didn't quite know what was happening a sound started up at first it was quiet then it could be easily heard it was crying only a little but it was obvious Aelita listened and heard it was coming from a nearby tower as she approached the younger version of her self reappeared out of the tower
"hello again" she said
"I think I can leave through here" Aelita said
"yea your right" the younger one said
"but I'm sorry you wont be leaving" the younger version looked at Aelita's face which was full of shock and confusion all Aelita could do was watch as the little version of her grew until all the pink was red and the clothes were now armour there stood a figure she never wanted to see again
"Xana but how" Aelita said
"easy you were right I was never fully destroyed I kept in the back of your mind hiding how do you think you have become so strong over the past years I fuelled some of your hate and anger it kept me alive"
Aelita just dropped to her knees she couldn't believe it how could no one of noticed "now I have enough strength to go back and take your body especially in your weakened state"
"never you don't realise that I can beat you on my own now I'm stronger" Aelita said standing up raising both her fists
"not without me helping you" after Xana said this Aelita didn't care anymore it was either death or back to the real world there was no way that Xana would be replacing her
Xana and Aelita started fighting Aelita swung punch after punch at Xana but he just kept blocking and laughing taunting Aelita all the time
In the real world Odd was woken by a sound near by it was coming from the machine next to Aelita, Yumi looked up from her seat seeing it too a doctor came in looking at the machine James was now standing up gripping his mother's hand tightly the doctor quickly called a nurse and injected something into her iv
Aelita's fight with Xana was still going Aelita had landed a few punches but Xana was really hitting her knocking her in every direction Aelita was in trouble a few more hits and she would easily lose
Xana kept hitting once he stopped Aelita just dropped to the floor beaten
In the real world Aelita life signs were dropping James was now extremely worried "mom don't die" he said
Her signs dropped a bit more "mom don't die" James started to shout Odd realised what James was about to do and he wasn't going to stop it
As Aelita life sign dropped just a little James whistled a loud high pitch whistle that almost only dogs could have heard
Aelita could hear this and knew what was happening as Xana stepped closer she jumped up kicking him in the chest in the process then punching him twice in the face "this is for all the crap you've ever put me through" Aelita said kicking Xana three more times then high kicking him in the face knocking him back towards the edge
Xana was extremely close to falling as Aelita came at him with a final punch "and this is for my father" Aelita said landing the same right hook that put Jeremy in the hospital she watched as Xana fell not into the void but back in to the dark recesses of her mind never to be seen again
She pulled her self back to the tower and stepped in she felt a light rush around her and even the whistling she could hear before got louder
Ulrich arrived before Aelita woke up so the girls were now around the bed next to James as Aelita opened her eyes the doctor left saying he'd check on her in a few minutes she needed to be with family and friends right now Odd hugged her and Aelita put her hand on James head which stopped him whistling Yumi went up and gave her possibly one of the biggest hugs of her life "Yumi I need air" she joked
"don't you ever do that again" Yumi said tears now streaming down everyone's faces
James hugged his mother crying into her shoulder "thank you James for everything you did" Aelita said James looked at his mom slightly confused Aelita gave James another hug and looked at Odd he came closer "we were right all along" Aelita whispered to him
Odd knew what she meant he glanced to Yumi and Ulrich they knew exactly what Aelita just told him they were slightly shocked after a while they headed home it was almost dark when they arrived they all sat down the kids went off heading to James's room to do something while their parents talked
"how do you know" Ulrich said
"while I was out I went into my own mind or something and it was a small part connected with lyoko Xana was there first he took the form of a younger me then when I tried to leave he attacked me saying he would take over my body"
"wait he was in your mind in your head he's done a lot of things but that crosses the line" Odd said furiously
"calm down Odd let Aelita finish her story" Ulrich said
"so we battled and I won luckily I could hear James's whistle so that helped me fight Xana I managed to knock him into like a dark area of my mind he's gone now forever we can put the past behind us"
"we can't put everything away yet there's still one question left unanswered" Yumi said
"what is it" Aelita asked
"what happened to you and Jeremy before" Yumi said
I'm gonna end there since I have other things to do like get started on the next chapter I hope you liked it since it took me ages to do but that was partly my fault since I keep losing concentration
I'll try to get this story finished before the 9 of July since then I'm going on a trip to Belgium for five days and might not be able to do much writing
