Sanne appears in the elevator at the Factory. "Dante." She looks around. "I didn't even finish my sentence!" When the elevator stops and the door opens she runs too the control panel. "Dante?" A screen pops up. "Who are you?"
"Hello Sanne." A pixie punk girl stares out. "Who is Dante? Or did you decide too change my name? I'll take any one you give me but I was growing on Danielle."
"No, I," Sanne has a rush of memories flood her brain. Her knees buckle as they feel like a truck slamming in to her.
"Sanne!" Danielle watches her collapse. "Xana isn't attacking what can I do?!" Danielle starts to panic. "Sanne!"
"I, I'm ok. I think I am." Sanne drags herself up off the floor by the computer chair. Sanne breathes hard trying to catch her breath. "Danielle, it's been two weeks since I found you."
"It has? I can't tell time on here. Two weeks would be fourteen days. And that would be three hundred and thirty six hours."
"I know you can't tell time on there that is why I told you." Sanne shakes her head trying too make the memories line up. Xana had attacked four times in two weeks. He was weak and that made things easier. And she finds that Krieger and Ark were crushing on Danielle. "That will make things easier."
"What will?"
"Um, Danielle, I," Sanne can't bring up memories from the other worlds. She tries but the more she struggles the harder it is. "I think we need too find a way to get you to Earth. That will limit Xana's access too you."
"What about the Overvehicles?"
"We can work on those later." Sanne looks in too Danielle's eyes and feels a rush of emotions. The eyes were just like Dante's.
"Sanne, your face has turned red is that normal?"
"No I, um, it's nothing." Sanne tries to ignore Danielle but the same thoughts and emotions keep rising.
When Sanne leaves the Factory she takes the streets too let the cool air help her. She had been warm and flustered the whole time and it distracted her. "It's a girl not a guy. Her name is Danielle it isn't Dante." She looks up at the stars. "I can't be in love with her." Sanne keeps walking trying too clear her head.
Sanne doesn't notice how empty the streets are. There are no people, no cars, no one walked the sidewalks. It is as if the city had been deserted.
When back at Kadic Academy she finds Ark and Skitz in her room. "What's up?" Sanne sits down on her bed.
"Homework and tests and stuff. Where were you all day?" Skitz stares at Sanne's neck.
"Um, at the Factory." Sanne puts a hand on her neck. "Didn't I tell you?" She rubs it and doesn't feel any thing.
"No. You keep disappearing during the day. Like you are one of them." Sanne is confused. "And what were you doing coming back this late at night?"
"This late? It's barely eight. The sun just went down a few minutes ago."
"Long enough past sundown we were starting too worry." Sanne rolls her eyes.
"I'm fine. Want help with your homework?" Both Twins shake their head.
"I was just about to leave." Ark gets off of Skitz's bed and leaves the room.
Sanne lies in bed and stares at the ceiling. She didn't just have the fear of Xana she had the strange mix of feelings for Danielle. When she looked in to Danielle's eyes she saw Dante. She had the feelings she had for Dante. "I was never that in love with him. Why is it so hard now?" She turns over and stares at the wall. "I loved Krieger." She gasps. "That bastard he did this too me. He even told me that Dante was different. He was able to stop me from loving Krieger but not Dante." Sanne curls up in too a ball and cries.
The next morning was Monday. Sanne goes too class but is distracted. She wrote down ideas for how too destroy Xana.
After class Sanne rushes off to the Factory. She tells herself it's to help fight Xana but she also knows deep down that it was to see Dante, no Danielle. Her feelings conflicted and confused her. It was Dante in her mind but it wasn't in body.
Sanne sits down in the computer chair. "Danielle?" A screen comes up and Danielle appears.
"Hello Sanne. How was your day?"
"Confusing. Um, did you make any progress?"
"No." Sanne winces when she sees the sad look on Danielle's face. She wanted too reach through and make Danielle feel better. "I'm being absolutely useless."
"No you're doing your best. I haven't done much either have I?" Sanne smiles trying too make her feel better. "But we can change that."
"Yes we can Sanne." They get back to work.
Skitz and the others go to the Factory a little before dinner. "We can't leave her alone. Why she acts like they won't go for her I don't know."
"She's been obsessed with the Super Computer and Danielle." Krieger and Ark smile. Skitz makes gagging noises.
"You two pervs. At least when Jeremie was crushing on Aelita he just thought she was a computer AI. She's the daughter of Xana!"
"But she's hot," Krieger continues.
"And smart and spunky and," Ark continues.
"And hot, don't forget hot."
"Of course she's hot." Skitz makes more gagging noises. "Come on sis you have to admit she is."
"Pervs." The three get too the Factory and take the elevator down to the Control Room.
Sanne is surprised too see her friends. "What's going on? Xana isn't attacking is he? The Super Scan didn't go off."
"And I do not feel any pulsations." Danielle doesn't look at the others, only Sanne. "We are working on a few programs."
"And it's getting close too dark. Sanne you have to come with us."
"Why? What's the big deal?" Sanne turns back too the monitor. "Ok Danielle we need too," Skitz grabs her head and turns it.
"She doesn't have any bite marks." Skitz moves her head some more examining her neck.
"And she was out during the day she's not one of them Skitz she's just obsessed." Krieger grabs one arm while Ark grabs another.
"Let me go!" Sanne struggles but Ark and Krieger are too strong.
"No Sanne we aren't going too let you be eaten by some random Vampire because you ignored every thing for Xana and the Super Computer." Sanne is so stunned she stops resisting.
As the others help her back too Kadic Academy Sanne has more memories come to her. They are short and not very detailed. Some were just a news flash about strange deaths in New York City. More news bulletins as more cities are affected by a strange cult. Then finally more then two years after the first attack it was declared Vampires were responsible for the attacks. After the initial panic people learned not too go out at night. People learned what was real and what wasn't. No cross or holy water would help. A wooden stake meant nothing. The Vampires were fast, powerful, and deadly.
Sanne lies awake again. This world looked normal, at first. But now there was a female Dante and Vampires. What else was different about this world that she didn't remember? She could be killed at a moments notice by some thing she didn't know about.
Sanne turns in bed and looks at Skitz. She seemed like Skitz but she knew it wasn't the one she knew. It wasn't the Skitz she grew up with. It was close too the one she knew. This Skitz probably had the same thoughts and reactions as the one she knew. "Skitz?" No response. "I can't remember if you're a heavy sleeper or not. I think you were, are you?" She gets no response. "Or maybe that is this world's Sanne's memories of you. Maybe the Skitz I knew was a light sleeper. Was she dating some one in my world? I think she did but now I don't remember. I have these memories, not even sure they are, of her and I dating. Maybe it explains why I have these feelings for Danielle." Sanne continues too talk even though Skitz was asleep.
The next morning Sanne feels a little better. After her long talk with a sleeping friend she started too remember some things. She knew Skitz had a boyfriend. She couldn't remember his name but she knew he had dark skin, maybe even black she wasn't sure. She knew she had dated Skitz in another world. She knew that she had dated Odd in one too.
Sanne is in the shower when she is pushed in to the wall. "Hey what are," Sanne's head is slammed in too the wall.
"Shut up!" Sanne recognizes the messed up voice.
"Xana, what do you want?"
"I want too know who you are." Sanne struggles but can't break the grip.
"I want too know how you possessed some one." Sanne is turned around quickly and slammed back against the wall. She sees now it was the science class skeletal dummy. "That explains it."
"But it doesn't explain what you are. Or where you came from Sanne." Sanne realizes what Xana was talking about.
"You heard me last night?" The skeletal dummy nods. "Well I guess it doesn't hurt too tell you." Sanne looks around for help.
"Tell me! There is no one else here too save you." Xana shakes Sanne.
"I'll tell you! Hold on don't you have any patience?" Sanne tries to laugh but Xana shakes her again. "Ok, fine. I am from a different world. I was sent here to stop some thing. I'm not sure what though. Last time I had to keep a car from hitting Skitz." Sanne tries too push the skeletal dummy away but can't. "I'm not going too run let me go." The skeletal dummy does.
"Are you here too stop me?" Sanne shakes her head.
"No. If that was it I'd still be in the first world I went to. It's some thing much smaller than that. I think it might have some thing too do with Vampires." Sanne gets an idea. She isn't sure it will work but she has to try. "And you can help."
"Why would I help you?"
"I'm not Sanne. I'm not trying to kill you or any thing. I act like it sure but really I'm not. I think I'm here to kill the Vampires."
"And how would I help?"
"I think maybe with your powers we could kill them. And on the plus you'll be a hero. Do you think the kids here would fight you if you were a hero? Hell they might help you!"
"Why should I trust you?"
"Because I have no reason too hurt you. I won't even be here after I do what I'm supposed to do. So what do you say Xana? We can work out a way to kill all Vampires and I go away or you piss me off and I'll use the powers given too me to kill you."
"What powers?"
"I just told you I traveled here from a different world. I told you I go from world too world fixing things. I have powers but I'm not exactly supposed too use them on you. Keyword is supposed." Sanne smiles evilly. "What do you think?"
"The others are near the Tower. I must go and deal with them." The skeletal dummy collapses as a black mist leaves it.
"I better get too the Factory." Sanne gets dressed and runs out of the girl's shower room.
On Lyoko the Lyoko Warriors are near the activated Tower. "Danielle please stay back." Krieger pulls two broad swords out.
"I'll protect her." Ark pulls out a spear.
"You two can fight over her later." Skitz points her arm at a Krabe. "Sorry Danielle it's as if they don't know two beautiful girls already."
"You and Sanne don't count you're like sisters." Skitz rolls her eyes.
"Do you two want too fight Xana or not? Who knows what he is doing too Sanne." Skitz fires an arrow from her arm and misses the Krabe.
"We can fight." Krieger crouches ready too attack the guards. A Krabe and three Kankrelats.
Sanne gets too the sewers and takes off on her hoverboard. She had to hurry.
Krieger dodges a laser and leaps at a Kankrelat. It is too slow and he slashes it with a sword destroying it. "Ha, beat that Ark."
Ark leaps in the air with his spear over his head. He spins it building momentum. When he lands he sweeps it across the ground knocking two Kankrelats away and over the edge of the Sector. "Two with one attack."
Skitz runs forward dodging the lasers from the Krabe. "Laser Arrow!" She hits it on the leg. It fires a laser and hits her in the chest.
"Never send a girl to do a man's job." Ark rushes forward with his spear.
"Never send a boy to do a man's job." Krieger rushes forward with his swords.
Both boys trying to impress Danielle rush at the Krabe. It fires lasers but is torn between which ones too shoot at. Ark and Krieger go on either side confusing it even more.
"I call it!" Ark lunges at the Krabe
"I call it!" Krieger lunges at the Krabe.
They collide over the Krabe and land on top of it. The Krabe turns and runs for the edge of the path. "You idiots get off of it!" Skitz aims at the Krabe but can't hit the Eye from her position.
"I got them." Sanne's voice is followed by Krieger and Ark being materialized just as the Krabe leaps over the edge. "Danielle, deactivate the Tower. No need for a return."
"Yes Sanne." Danielle runs in too the activated Tower.
She floats up too the second platform. She lands on the platform and walks over too the control panel. She places her hand on it and soon the screens fall around her. "Tower deactivated."
"Good job Danielle! Ready too come back Skitz?"
"You know it." Soon Skitz materializes back too Earth.
The kids go back to school. They had missed morning classes and it was time for lunch. "Alright meatballs and gravy," Ark takes a bite. "If this was the Twilight Zone." He spits them out.
"I wonder how long it will be before Jim finds us." Krieger takes a sip of his drink. There is the sound of a throat being cleared. "Hi Jim."
"Where were you earlier?"
"We went off in the sewers." Sanne stands up. "Skitz and Ark really believe all of those stupid stories. Krieger and I were proving them wrong. And of course we got lost and were lucky to get back." Jim glares. "Hey I was on your side!"
"All four of you will serve detention after classes." All four groan. "And no complaints!"
"Yes Jim." The four continue lunch.
After detention Sanne is on her bed staring at the wall. She had a plan. She didn't know if it would work or not. If Xana trusted her enough to give her the codes she could destroy him. If he didn't, she would still kill the Vampires but still have an incredibly strong enemy too fight. "I hate you voice. I want my original memories back. I won't keep this up if you don't give me back my memories."
For another night Skitz listens too her friend's seemingly insane ramblings and worries even more about her.
A/N Oops, Skitz was faking to be asleep! And Vampires? Cool if you ask me lol. And not those gay sparkly Twilight ones either but the sun killing kind. Also, thank you for your reviews on Code Naia! I loved writing about Arrow and Sanne and the rest. And of course am now working on Code Naia War Stories. But I was wondering about an original. Mostly Code Naia but without Xana and stuff. Lab in America making a Quantum Processor used to make things. Like say, make food from virtual material and end world hunger. With the Sentient Artificial Intelligence, SAI, as the computer program. Dr. Jordan Freeman, blonde woman, PHD from MIT and stuff is head of the project. They test bringing things too Earth, and it kinda works. Then they try the opposite, and send an apple. The Quantum Processor records it and now they can produce apples. They try an old lab rat with a missing limb, send it, and when they bring it back it has four legs and looks healthy! After more tests they get a human "volunteer". Quotes for it being a former Marine who snapped and started to rape and murder civilians so if he dies its no big deal. But he corrupts SAI, comes out, attacks, levels the place. And from there on it is mostly like Code Naia. What do you all think? Of course there won't be crazy ass Sanne, or Strong Faith Based Arrow, and stuff like that but I think a guard named Barney, another named James, a resistance, so forth.
