We're History

Chapter 2

It was now morning and the sun was shining the trio had fallen asleep on the floor of the hideout that they had been brought to yesterday when they woke each one of them examined their surroundings in the room it was quite large small holes in the walls acted like windows

In the room were several chairs and a large map on one wall labelled Lyoko a small weapons rack with only a few usable weapons two swords but one was broken, several arrows are laid out on a table some snapped others were being built and several passage ways that lead off in different directions

The kids froze when they heard voices and foot steps as two of the three people they met yesterday appeared "good morning" Miyu said as she and Lurich appeared "I see you've been having a look round"

"it's difficult to keep everything perfect when you live in a mountain and have to keep the fact that you're the one who's fighting a ferocious demon a secret" Lurich said jokingly

"can I ask what is this mountain called" Yumi asked

"Idack" Miyu replied

Yumi had begun to wonder something everything here appeared to be like their life back home but she wasn't sure what to think but something bugged her about everything here

"well were doing something very special today" Lurich announced

"what" Ulrich asked

"we are going to visit Tealia" Miyu said as she picked up some clothes that were draped across a chair and went behind a screen changing from the clothes she wore last night which were the ones she wore for fighting Xana into a set of normal clothes (in easier terms it's like being devirtualized) Lurich did as well

After a few minutes both Lurich and Miyu looked normal (well as normal as you can look when you are in ancient Japan) both of them quickly realised that the kids would stick out in a crowd especially since they looked extremely strange (this is because they are wearing clothes that haven't been made yet so they would look strange)

Once Miyu had found some of her old clothes for Yumi to wear and Lurich had found some of his old clothes for the boys to wear everyone was ready to go as they stepped outside another friendly face met them it was Ellad

"you are late" Miyu said as Ellad appeared

"I couldn't help it" Ellad said winking back at Miyu obviously telling her something

As the six of them moved through the streets no one seemed to notice them they all seemed preoccupied on what ever they were doing Yumi was watching everyone she looked at people and was sure that a few of them didn't even have faces but every time she looked a second time they had faces but it could just be her imagination

"this is the main palace" Ellad said breaking the silence of the group he pointed towards a large building a lot bigger than any of the one's they had seen but they soon noticed there was a large wall between them and the palace "this way" Miyu said as they turned left and went round a corner

After they turned the corner they headed towards a large rock leaning against part of the wall "ready Miyu" Lurich said she nodded and raised her hand slightly which caused the rock to move up slightly she pushed her hand towards the rock and pushed the rock backwards in the air revealing an opening in the wall that had been hidden

Yumi grabbed her shoulder as pain suddenly hit it when she looked around her vision was very blurred but she could make out a figure standing over her but when her vision came back she was still standing up with Ulrich in front of her saying her name

"hello earth to Yumi" Ulrich said

"sorry Ulrich I spaced out a bit there" Yumi said as they went through the hole in the wall Yumi began thinking what she saw her vision may have been blurred but it was easy to tell that someone had been standing over her but she was standing up and why did she get a pain in her shoulder when Miyu used what appeared to be telekinesis

"hurry up" Ulrich said from the opening taking Yumi's mind of what had just happened

Yumi moved quickly rejoining the rest of the group when they entered the palace they moved quietly sneaking past guards they finally arrived in a large room with a large throne and not much else

"listen right now I want to be alone" someone shouted

"but princess we need to discuss this with you" some else said

"go stick it up your…" the last word wasn't heard because the door to the room was slammed shut but everyone could guess what it was

"ever since I was born this is all that's happened I've been stuck in here the only time I get out is to stop Xana even then I have to sneak away" the person said

Everything went silent until Odd sneezed which alerted the person and caused the entire room to close up when everyone looked around large walls of earth and rock had covered everywhere

"Tealia it's us and we've brought some people to see you" Ellad said to let the person know who was there

"who could you have brought here…" Tealia asked and slowly stopped as she saw Miyu, Ellad and Lurich standing with Yumi, Odd and Ulrich "meet our future selves" Miyu said trying to think of the best way to explain

"they look like you when I first met you" Tealia said as she sat down in the large throne

"we know imagine our surprise when we first saw them" Lurich said

"what are your names" Tealia asked

"Yumi Ishiyama"

"Odd Della Robia"

"Ulrich Stern"

As they said their names Tealia's expression grew showing that she didn't believe what these kids were saying "how can they have the same last name as you" Tealia asked

"I did say they were our future selves" Miyu said

"but the way they look you would think that they were your past selves" Tealia said

"that's something me and Miyu were discussing but we realised we would remember this event if it was us" Lurich said

"so why have you brought them here why not keep them hidden until you can send them back to where ever they came from" Tealia asked

"well we believe that it might have been caused by Xana that they are here they did appear while we were fighting him and we don't know fully about Xana's powers but we know he created you until we saved you"

"in ours.." Odd began to say until Yumi hit him slightly and placed a finger over her lips to tell him to be silent

"well if he did, the answer would be in the forest where Xana lives" Tealia said

"that's what we thought we need you to come with us and help us since you know that forest back to front" Ellad said

"maybe but it would be quite dangerous if we did in that forest Xana has much more power and all of his creatures live there" Tealia said

As everyone discussed what they thought was a good idea Yumi's thoughts strayed back onto an earlier thought about what she saw while her vision was blurred and how come that pain happened at the exact moment when Miyu used her telekinesis

The boys hadn't noticed much but everything here seemed a bit strange these people were exactly like them even in personality Ulrich noticed that Yumi again seemed to have spaced out usually she would concentrate and be focused but since they arrived she seemed to of changed

Odd was hoping that Jeremy, Aelita and Kiwi would be ok until they got back if Xana attacked what could any of them do without the three of them there Jeremy could go into Lyoko but even then all Xana would need is a strong attack and then it's all over

It seemed everyone was worrying about someone else or something else non of them knew what might happen if they did go up against this time's version of Xana but that didn't worry them they had beaten Xana before and would just have to do it again

After all the plans had been made it was time to head back they snuck away once again past every guard and headed back to the mountain hideout "I'll see you later" Miyu said

"are you not coming back to the hideout" Ulrich asked

"I don't stay there I have my own family to look after they stay at Idack" Miyu said

After Miyu said this Yumi noticed another similarity to their normal life something bugged her she wasn't sure what but something here was wrong

Back with Jeremy and Aelita

They could only watch as it happened they couldn't help their friends

"what's happened Jeremy" Aelita asked

"I don't know Aelita I really don't know"

So that's it for another chapter so what is really going on is Yumi right could there be something they haven't noticed yet why did Yumi suddenly feel pain when Miyu used her telekinesis

And what is going to happen when they confront Xana and was it him who brought them there or something completely different

And what are Jeremy and Aelita going to do now

Maybe some of these questions will be answered next chapter
