Author's Note: Overall I am not sure if I should continue this series. I am have an idea on how to go about this after this chapter. But please let me know if you want me to continue this. Now let's get to more plot and friends!

A few days later

"Yo Michael! We are going ahead! Don't spent too much time with your girlfriend!"

"Shut up man! Layoff!" I shouted to the figures in the distance. " Having friends is always great but a curse at the same time."

"It's really nice to be here together Michael."

"I wish that it could last forever. Unfortunately it can't."

"What do you mean?"

"My father is trying something. And I intend to stop him. Even if it means..."

"Michael you can't!"

"Michael? Michael!"

"What?! I am awake and ready for school!" I yelled at a deep panic. I looked up and saw Aelita now staring at me with deep concern.

"Are you okay? You were tossing and turning just a second ago." Aelita said.

"Yeah... I had another memory attack." I explained. "It just seems so real. I can't help but feel like it happened before. I need to figure out these memories and soon."

"I understand. Why don't we head out of the tower for a bit? You don't seem like you want to be in here for much longer." Aelita explained. I nodded and we both exited the tower. We started walking across the forest sector.

Ever since Jeremy and the gang let me in their group, we have been able to stop XANA's monsters and it had been running pretty smoothly. One problem was that I kept having these memories attacks that I now called them. I would occasionally have flashbacks of what I think was the past. They would be helpful at times, but others gave me more questions than answers. My main concern was my most recent one. It spoke about me having friends and what seemed to be a girlfriend.

"That couldn't be true right? Me? The awkward and useless Michael having friends and a girlfriend?" I thought to myself. I frowned and Aelita seemed to notice. She stopped moving while I took a few more steps.

"Michael why don't you tell me what's been bothering you?" Aelita asked with concern. "Recently you have been kind of down lately and haven't been very happy when we are defending Lyoko. Are you mad at me?" Aelita was now feeling some guilt and shame. That made me feel really bad and I forgot that Aelita and I were the only ones on Lyoko to talk to. So of course she would feel partially responsible.

"No Aelita it isn't you. I have been thinking about my past more and more. I keep having these memory attacks. And it makes me wonder if they are real or not." I explained. I patted her back and gave her a hug to make sure that she felt it truly wasn't her fault. Aelita was a bit surprised but took the embrace and seemed calmer. I was about to explain further about the attacks when I had another chill down my spine and I buckled to the ground again.

"Something's not right... We better get moving. Something is happening!" I yelled. I picked up Aelita and she didn't even get to say anything as I full sprinted back towards the tower. As we approached the tower I saw about 4 crabs, 4 Bloks, and 6 hornets attacking something.

"What could XANA possibly be using those for?" I asked Aelita.

"I have no idea... But whatever it's attacking, he wants to make sure it isn't standing." Aelita said scared for her life.

"I will look ahead. You stay here." I ran ahead and saw four figures being attacked. One had a spear and was having it extend to stab XANA's monsters straight in the eye. It also looked like he had a yellow outfit matching his hair color. Another one had a hammer that seemed to come back whenever the user threw it. He looked like Thor with his hammer and his outfit was a blue shade. The third one seemed to have a pair of handguns and fired laser bullets into the creatures. Her outfit was a silver one like my hair and she had black leggings for contrast. And the last one had a close combat punch gloves that fired what seemed like mines and exploded on contact. It also seemed they were laser cannons as well and she had a red outfit to complement the cannon. However I could tell they were being overwhelmed. They all looked exhausted and they needed help quickly. I fired off a fire and ice arrow to lay down multiple smokescreens. And then ran back to Aelita and started sprinting towards the tower.

"What is this?" The figures thought.

"Run into the tower now!" I yelled to the top of my lungs. And the seemed to hear me because that's exactly what they did. When all six of us were in the tower all four figures sat down exhausted from the stress and fighting that just occurred. Aelita and I stood there evaluating all of them. I looked at them closer and had another memory attack.

"Come on Michael! Please? Just one my trip!" A blond hair figure complained.

"Yeah come on Michael I want to go kick some monster butt!" A redhead stated.

"Michael you should let them have their fun." A purple haired figure trying to calm me down.

"Another trip wouldn't hurt anyone." A black haired figure said.

"All right all right I get the picture! Let me see what I can do!"

"I know all of them?" I whispered to myself. I dropped to the floor with both knees and Aelita then came to my level.

"Michael are these people...?" Aelita then asked but already knew the answer based off my face.

"Yes... They are my friends. But... I don't have any memory of them. At least when I don't get these attacks." I said not even believing myself. I went over to the four figures and then asked them a simple question.

"What are your names?" The four figures looked at me with some amount of hesitation. I didn't really blame them either. It was a bit suspicious. Finally though they said their names.

"Leah."

"Ben."

"Matthew."

"... ... ... Emma."

I had no memory of their names. But I knew their faces and their hair. Ben was the blond, Leah had purple hair, Matthew was a redhead, and Emma had black hair. It was clear they were from my vision. But did they know me? Or were their memories gone as well?

"What about you two? What are your names?" Matthew asked.

"I am Michael. And this is Aelita." I answered. "Do you guys have any memories of how you got here?" I looked at them hoping they would have an explanation of how all of us got in this mess.

"No... But Michael... You look so familiar..." Leah said with a soft tone behind her voice. The rest of them nodded their heads.

"Aelita. Why don't you contact Jeremy? I will try and work some things out with my friends." I asked. Aelita simply nodded and headed to her screen. I sat with the other four and tired to see how I could start a conversation.

"Well how did you guys get here in the first place? Or rather what do you remember?" I asked simply to get a good start.

"Well I was in the an ice region, Matthew and Ben were in a dessert, and Emma was in a forest." Leah explained. "Eventually we heard voices..."

"Did it have voices telling you what you should do?" I interrupted.

"Yeah it was exactly like that! It told us to go into our towers and fall in the darkness. Eventually we all meet on this forest. Well except Emma. She was already here."

"When did you guys get here?"

"I would say a few days ago."

"Do you have any memories before you woke up?" I asked hoping for some answers. The group was looking at each other but they all looked silent. "Well we remember a guy being our leader. And the voice that we mainly heard: He was annoying but ... It was you..." Ben said quietly. I looked with utter disbelief. Me a leader?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked still in shock by that.

"Well... It's just that... I remember us always just following you. I would always get a sense of pride... We always liked being with you..." Matthew explained. Emma simply nodded her head. Leah looked as if she was blushing and Ben simply grinned. Meanwhile it seemed Aelita finally connected with Jeremy.

"Jeremy do you read me?" Aelita asked the screen.

"I read you Aelita. Something wrong?" Jeremy asked.

"Well... We have more than Michael now..." Aelita said sheepishly.

"What do you mean by that?" Jeremy basically demanding to see me at this point.

"Hey Jeremy... So apparently my friends are on Lyoko too..." I honestly had no other way of explaining it better.

"Michael... I thought you said that you lost your memories. Did you have another memory attack?"

"Yeah I did. Except this time we found my friends being attacked by XANA's monsters. We had to save them quickly before they were gone forever. Then when we got in the tower and I looked at them... I had some kind of memory attack."

"Well it doesn't really matter now. I am assuming you want us to let them stay?" Jeremy now with a serious tone.

"I would appreciate that. They have only bits and pieces of their memory. Just the basics. But all of the life has been sucked of them. They need to live again Jeremy. Please I am begging you here." I then got on my hands and knees in front of the computer screen.

"Wow I didn't think it was that serious. But I do appreciate your honesty Michael. Of course they can join! That means we have more members to fight against XANA! The only problem now is that materialization program."

"You mean the one to bring Aelita back to earth?"

"Yes. It's not finished yet. But I am getting close." Jeremy looked exhausted just from talking about it.

"Why don't you get some rest Jeremy? You could use it based on your hair." I laugh a little seeing his hair all messed up like a monster.

"Haha very funny. The program should be ready in a couple of days. See you tomorrow." Jeremy then disappeared showing that the transmission ended.

For the next few hours we went outside the tower and I caught up with all my friends and introduced everyone to Aelita. They were all astonished and I had to punch both Ben and Matthew for them drooling over her.

"Can't you guys go five second without drooling over every girl you meet?" I asked them irritated on how they were acting.

"Well we can't help that she is just beautiful. Or is she already taken?" Ben asked smirk. This made Aelita and I blush a little. We had been on Lyoko for a few days but we got very close. But I felt like I was intruding on something so I didn't bother asking Aelita. That didn't mean though I had some amount of feelings for her. I punched Ben in the face for that comment as well. What I didn't see is that Leah a little upset that I was blushing over that. I didn't get the chance to ask her as an army of monsters were firing at us.

"Aelita get back in the tower! Emma cover us!" Emma nodded and brought handguns out and fired them at the army. As she fired I saw laser bullets flying towards them and one by one they were destroyed. She managed to destroy several monsters but we were dealing with about 50 kankrelats firing lasers at us. We had to find cover and quickly too. Emma and Aelita made it safe into the tower while the four of us took cover behind some trees.

"Well this is just Dandy! How do we get out of this one huh Michael?" Ben asked annoyingly.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because you're the leader! You always come with up with something!" Ben yelled.

Let me think for a minute!" I yelled back.

"In case you haven't noticed I don't think we got a minute!" Matthew now yelling as well. They both were right though. We were about to be sitting ducks and be goners if I didn't come up with something. The kankrelats were a good distance from our current position. "Hammer... Thor... That could work. And with a spear plus cannons!" I thought to myself.

"Matthew try focusing all your power into your hammer! Then release it all at once! Ben get ready to use your spear! You are about to knock them all over! Leah get ready to fire some cannons!" I commanded at this point.

"Roger that!" All of them yelled.

"Now Ben!"

"EXTEND!" Ben's spear was able to reach all of the kankrelats and knock them all onto their feet. Ben also managed to knock some into the digital void.

"Go Leah!"

"Eat my LASER CANNONS!" Leah then fired off several blasts from her fists and destroyed at least 20 kankrelats.

"Matthew let's wrap this up!"

"GO LIGHTNING!"

" AH! I will take your lightning and raise with my ICE ARROWS!"

Several of my arrows went flying towards the kankrelats and froze them straight away. A giant shock wave engulfed the frozen kankrelats and destroyed all of them.

"Well thank goodness for that." I retract my bow and sighed, thanking my brain for thinking on the spot. "Aelita, Emma you can come out now!" I yelled towards the tower. And sure enough two figures pop back out.

"How did you take out all those monsters for quickly?" Aelita asked in shock and awe.

"Well Michael's strategy worked like a charm!" Leah extremely proudly. They were also now looking at me and I just simply laughed it off.

"Please. I hardly did anything. If it weren't for you guys that stupid plan would have never worked."

"Stupid plan? More like awesome plan! Man that was SO cool! The way that I knocked over those kankrelats and then Leah's cannons! Plus Matthew's and Michael's lighting and ice combo!" Ben now basically jumping off the walls at this point.

"How did you know that would work? You planned that out so easily." Matthew asked in a calmer fashion.

"Well... I just took in account everyone's abilities. But I am glad that your lightning worked. Your outfit and hammer looks based off Thor. So I figured that you would be able to conjure up lightning."

"And if I couldn't?"

"We would have had my arrows still... But I am just glad it worked out." I replied with a smile. That seemed to satisfy Matthew has he proceeded to go beat the crap out of Ben.

"How did I come up with a plan like that so quickly though? Honestly I just thought about weapons and then my mind worked on it's own. And the way I commanded them and they just instantly responded with no question. Could they be right? Was I some sort of leader? Or are they just playing along with that?" I thought to myself.

I looked to see that the girls were talking amongst themselves while Matthew and Ben were beating the crap outta each other. But not to the point to where any life points were lost. I enjoyed seeing them like this. Although I still had no memory it felt good to see people who I had such a deep bond with. Aelita came over to me but I only saw the ground as I had another memory attack.

"Michael, lead them. Become a leader so that all will follow the right path."

"Leader huh?"

"And one day... You will have to-"

"The men in black!"
