Thought most of the story is from Aelita points as she regains her memories as Anna Lita Hopper, as show with "-A-" routes as show in the previous four chapters, X.A.N.A. is going to write time—if you see a "-X-" route, that's means the following scene is from X.A.N.A's point of view.

"Memories"

Part5 - "City Island"

By Dr. Thinker

Ulrich stated, "I wonder if X.A.N.A going to take this shake-up lying down."

I replied, "He's going to have attack soon."

Athena stated, "Even if he doesn't turn on a tower, he going to send some monster to try to destroy it. City Island is the source for all Anti-Virus programs on the computer—the "Huns". By the way, both Picktor and Huns have genders—but both had the some powers. You can't tell a Huns by their gender, but the paint on a Picktor will tell the gender—orange is male and pink is female."

Donna stated, "That's a lie. The males' armors are blue, while the females' armors are white."

Athena replied, "Sorry, but I been out of the loop for thirteen years. That's a life-time to a computer program."

Franz stated, "I scan all of you back in—but I start with Donna and William."

This week isn't going to good for me. First off, PLAN: ANNOY has been shot down—no thanks to Carol stealing what I would called Annoyer's organic henchman from her, and her itch to reveal the discover of information about me, X.A.N.A, to the those kiddies! PLAN: FAKE is no longer a possible. Odd destroyed the second body of Aelita, which I send an entire month trying to find! The Scopiza is no more, tricked by Jeremy and Aelita's illusion of me, I was so angry being caught up in the death blast of it that I think may had injured a few of my Tarantulas. Aelita is discovering that she is Anna Lita Hopper. PLAN: TRICK had failed. I thought Donna and William were going to kill the kids—but it turns out that City Island has returned. This is not going to end well—unless PLAN A—getting my original body is back. Holy virus codes, is this what I think this—well, a little modify on this Jeremy program will work wonders—all I need is a tower.

Well, I wonder what Jeremy might say when he sees this program working for me now. If I was a human, I mostly like do an evil laugh. Time put in PLAN: M2 into action. M standing for "Marabouta"—of course, it was an attempt by Jeremy to confuse my monster—thought he forgotten about my virus inside of Aelita. I know she was back--a fake illusion wouldn't be able to enter the tower to shut me down. After that shocking fail of my virtual school trap, I found by luck, in the original body of Aelita—damaged. I was going to repaired it but I need to steal all of Aelita's memories—I could fake her—and claim that the virus-effected Aelita was really me—but with Odd sticking Ulrich's sword into that Aelita—make that plan failed. Any, I should be at tower by now. Now, time to active—and hope the kids decide to come in a visit.

X.A.N.A TOWER PROGRAM: BLUE

That's the most common tower code—I just erased BLUE and input RED as usual.

MODIFYING PROGRAM? "MARABOUTA"

Modifying is something I usually do I lot previously--I recalled that changed Yumi's digital avatar into something similar to her organic dress—I hadn't done anything like this since I inputted my virus into Aelita. Now, to make sure that virus-effected things are safe. The only way I can test thing is to run the program and see if any of my monster get effect—but I want in to be a different location—just in case I need to team up with the kiddies again.

RUN PROGRAM: XANABOUTA

Success, now, all I had to do is to wait and see what the kiddies think of that. In the meantime, I see if I study some how—I know the gender I want—female—and the age—near Aelita's age. I see how my real spy program, Taliena Wishes, is working.

City Island looked like a small farm town from a role-playing game. Athena showed us that with City Island reconnected—a few more towers had popped out in the outside regions—doubling the usual amount of forty-two towers. Soon, we heard an alarm ring.

I asked, "What is that sound?"

Athena replied, "That sound is the attack alarm. It's tells the City Island programs when X.A.N.A. has launch attack."

Jeremy asked, "Can you figure out where it coming from?"

Athena replied, "It's in the ice region—not to far away from the passage tower. But I'm getting odd reader—it's similar to one I record some time ago—but I'm not 100 sure—I'm right. But if I'm right—you doing to wish you hadn't done that problem."

Jeremy replied, "Are you talking about Marabouta."

Athena stated, "Yes. I heard you state the name."

-A-

I thought I never see that black slime-like program again in my life-time, but being wrong is part of being human—I guess. X.A.N.A. blocks were in the thick of that Marabouta—but the program wasn't eating them—but it was cause of another return to their world for Odd, Yumi, Jeremy, Liz and Ulrich—but they did rid the blocks.

I stated, "I'm going to run to the tower."

Jeremy's voice asked, "Are you crazy? You going to get yourself deleted!"

I replied, "Recall the blocks aren't being effect. X.A.N.A. had modified the program so virus-effected things are safe."

Jeremy's voice stated with shocking surprise, "He made the same mistake I did—he didn't remember about the virus he put in you."

I rush thought the Marabouta. It didn't try to eat me at all. I heard Ulrich, Odd and Liz laughing like they was no tomorrow. I enter the tower quickly, go up the up-floor, touch the screen, and log in with my virtual name:

AELITA

Then input the stand-by code:

CODE LYOKO

-X-

I don't believe it! I totally make the same mistake as Jeremy did when he programmed the Marabouta! I totally forget about virus I inputted in Aelita. This is not my week at all. Not all. But I do know how I want my organic form to look like. Soon, they aren't going to get a way from me—unless Aelita recalls the third code—if she does—I'm facing a final shutdown—one that they isn't going any rebooting for me at all. PLAN: SWITCH must WORK—or it's good-bye X.A.N.A. forever.

-A-

Odd laughed, "Oh, man! That's the same mistake you make with Marabouta, Einstein!"

Jeremy was also laughing, "I can't believe it—but you plan worked Aelita."

I stated, "It was just a lucky guess."

Franz stated, "A good one, Aelita." Franz paused then asked, "Jeremy, where did you get that idea from anywhere?"

Jeremy replied, "Your dairy. I found something on South Americans ants."

Franz stated, "That how I programmed the Crabs."

Jeremy asked "You mean I used a program that one of X.A.N.A's monsters use?"

Franz replied, "Yes."

Ulrich stated, "Oh, man! You are one mad scientist!"

Franz remarked, "That what Waldo called me a lot while we working together."

AUTHOR NOTES:

I hope you didn't mind X.A.N.A. using the Marabouta program against the kids.
