I've been writing an hour a day, so this should be moving along quicker. I don't own Code Lyoko and this is Morgan's pov. I hope you enjoy!
I stared at my right hand. I just...stared at it. It had a black, leather, fingerless glove on it. Father's black leather fingerless glove. Underneath it his mark etched into my coding. His powers surged through my body. That was all I had left of him...
HOW DARE THEY?!
How dare they take away the only things in my life that ever mattered?! Those humans messed with the wrong Specter! They would pay, and pay dearly.
I jumped down from the tree and punched the ground. The ground shook and a small ripple formed underneath me. I chuckled to myself. Usually only Xana and William could create a dent in the ground like that. Now I was strong, and I would destroy everyone in my way...but at what price? I swung at a tree and it cracked.
My ears picked up little mechanical whirring and I whirled around. A Kankrelat cautiously edged out from behind a tree. My Kankrelat. I smiled and picked them up.
"You made it out alive too? At least I have you." I scratched their outer shell and one of their legs twitched in something resembling happiness. Kanky had always been smarter than the rest of the Kankrelats. Instead of being a mindless drone, Kanky was a lot like a puppy. They would be an important asset.
Speaking of assets, I had a plan to devise. Although...I looked at the crack in the tree. It was tempting to just go to every major city, rampage, and destroy everything, but I was taught better than that. Besides, making the Warriors miserable before they died would be so much more rewarding.
The first thing to do was get out of the forest. As a creature of electricity and artificial intelligence, I thrived on technology. I felt very uncomfortable without some sort of network to connect to. If I went without a source of energy for a long time I would die. Granted, running out of energy would take weeks, but the fact remained that I really needed to get out of the forest.
In retrospect, father had known of his imminent demise, hadn't he? He made me study Earth life at length. For instance, I knew the outfit I had on now was more fit for a student at a dojo than a student of Kadic Academy. I altered the appearance of the outer layer of my body's energy into a new outfit. It had a gray and red horizontally striped tank top under a black leather jacket, a pair of black skinny jeans, black combat boots...and of course father's glove.
I walked through the forest with Kanky in tow. I was not in a particular hurry, and besides, I needed time to think. I would enroll at Kadic Academy, that went without question. I knew the Lyoko Warriors by what Xana had on file, but that excluded their personal lives. I wanted each and every of their deaths to be spectacularly ironic and perfectly crafted to them specifically. This type of revenge would become a work of art.
Where was I? There was no network for me to connect to. I could not tell where I was. However, if I kept walking in a straight line...I was bound to get somewhere. From there I could get my barrings, and figure out what to do from there. Specifically, by what means I would enroll at Kadic Academy. Would I alter the Principal's memory to include me as a new student, or steal money and hack into the school system for an appointment. Probably the first, it was easier, and would draw less attention. I came to a building.
It was The Hermitage.
Good. The Hermitage had access to the sewers. From there, I knew how to get to Kadic Academy. I opened the door and it slammed into the adjacent wall. I would have to be careful. I no longer knew my own strength. I slipped into the sewer and carefully closed the door behind me. I looked to the right...no, not that way. Not yet. I went to the left, toward the Renault Factory.
"Wow, I can't believe this is the last time..." I heard a voice from down the hall.
I flattened myself against the wall. I could not be seen, not yet. Did they see me? No...they couldn't have. I waited for their footsteps to fade, and then I made my way to the Factory.
Just as I emerged from the sewers, a bright light engulfed me...The Warriors employed a Return to the Past. Then, they hadn't turned the Supercomputer off yet. If I just hurried, I could- No, that would be too hasty of me. I had to stick to a plan. I needed to learn about the Warriors, their strengths and weaknesses.
Anyways, I was back in the woods. I ran to the Hermitage, into the sewer system, and to the bridge before I ran into anyone. Then I proceeded to walk to Kadic's gates, and into the admin building. I stood in the secretary's office for five minutes without being noticed at all. The human race was not very perceptive, was it?
"Hello?" I asked, finally getting her attention.
"Oh, yes. Hello. Can I help you?" she answered. I extended my hand and a black mist shot into her mind. Rendering her mind more or less a puppet.
"I'm here to see the Principal. I'm the new student." I explained. I then touched the computer, recording my data on the school's files.
"Yes. I'll send you right ahead." I released her then, erased her memory of the mist, and deleted the footage of me possessing her that had been caught on the security camera.
"Thank you." I walked into the Principal's office, and repeated the same process. With the help of some slight mental tweaking, I became Morgan Xanthos, 10th grade student at Kadic Academy on a full scholarship. I was given a single dorm and a schedule to start class tomorrow. I officially had a life on Earth.
Not that I wanted one. I wanted things back how they were. However, this was what Xana wanted. I would do everything in my power to exceed his expectations of me. Tomorrow...it would all start tomorrow.
Time elapsed: 1 day
One reason I needed to rewrite this story was because I couldn't keep track of how much time had passed from chapter to chapter.I'm gonna write it down as I go.
