YATTA! Part 2! For the record I'm going to TRY to update every Saturday. So really try and keep me on track my lovelies, I'd LOVE to finish this story and might need help with ideas again, please feel free to give me any that you want to and I'll try to use all of them, mostly depending on if I think they'll fit in well with my plot. Anyways here's the second chapter! Enjoy!
Disclaimer; Unfortunately I do NOT own code Lyoko or else I would have changed a LOT in the story line.
Song of inspiration for the chapter; {{always put youtube in front of it, bc the music inspires me to write. So here's the song that inspired the chapter but the other amv inspired the whole story. .com/watch?v=qn73aB3FuR8 also, unfortunately I don't own the vid either… neither of them. v.v'
Chapter 2
What's going on here?
"Azur? How is that even possible? Are you sure it's her?" he questioned only JUST finding her stats.
"She looks almost EXACTLY like she did in the gym… only with some weird gold thing on her head and a weird necklace, there's also some guy with her. White hair and rich brown eyes, any clues?" He asked as he slowed down and leaping on an ice cliff, soon picking up his speed again, running on all fours to keep up with the pair.
"None at all, I've never seen their stats before… Odd! Monsters all around you and dead ahead of them look alive," Jeremie's voice warned. Odd leapt down off the cliff in front of Azur, causing her to squeak in shock, and shooting down a Hornet as it zoomed around the corner, killing it instantly.
"Don't need to tell me twice Einstein," Odd replied with a smile, his tail twitching lightly. Just then Azur held her hands out in a directed point, a gold energy building swiftly before it shot past Odds head, scaring HIM and killing a block that he'd not seen.
"And that is payback for scaring ME," She commented swiftly. The boy slammed his hands down to the ground, creating a shield for the three of them. Azur smiled at Odd. "Long time no see."
"Areka, who's your new friend?" The boy questioned curiously. She giggled softly.
"Again, Aru, it's Azur now, and THIS is Odd, He must be one of the one's that's been helping our sweet little Aelita," the small girl explained sweetly. The white haired boy now named, Aru turned to odd blinking.
"If this is true then I must thank you. From what Areka-"
"Azur"
"Oh, right, from what Azur tells me, then I am thankful to you for helping my little sister in my absence," Aru bowed lightly "I do wish to repay you for doing so but for now at least we must reach the tower to deactivate it."
"He's right you know. So much to do, so little time, introductions and explanations later for now, we have some Xana butt to kick," Azur added with an almost excited smile. However that was ALL she said before backing up a few steps, running, and then leaping over the wall of ice with ease in a split jump. As soon as her feet hit the ground she began to spin on one leg, the other being kicked out and coming around behind her knee, as this happened the ice around her began to react, soon spiraling out and killing the remainder of the monsters. "ALRIGHT ARU, IT'S YOUR TURN!"
Aru smiled softly and fondly, before the wall just… vanished he made a run for the tower instantly; it was almost as though the two of them had done this before, MANY times before. Odd could tell that they could handle this on their own but now he was curious as to what exactly was going on. Aru walked into the tower in the same manor as Aelita always did and began to shut down the tower just as Yumi, Ulrich, and Aelita herself came up to Odd and Azur.
"Hey, long time, no see," Azur giggled out.
"I'll go deactivate the tower," Aelita started, but Azur shook her head smiling.
"No need Aelita. Aru's already taking care of it," she commented smiling. Aelita looked a bit confused but soon the red tower turned the deactivated white as Aru finished his part of the job. "see, I TOLD you he was taking care of it."
Aelita blinked at me but nodded in understanding.
"in the mean time," Yumi started, "care to explain everything here?"
Azur smiled, and nodded. She DID have a lot to explain.
"no worries, I guess I should start from the very beginning… let's see, well for starters I should start with who I am, My name is Areka Veru Ishimara, I'm 213 years old and was born in Japan. I'm also Aelita's step sister," Aelita looked shocked but I was expecting this seeing as she seemed to have lost her memories. I sighed. "Before any of you question me let me explain everything. If you have more questions after I'm done, feel free to ask at the end. I'm sure the first thing you're all wondering is how I still look the age I am, see I'm, what most people refer to us, as a demon, though we aren't really, we're just people with special talents. For example my particular 'breed' as we're called, is a set of time manipulators, however this comes with many restrictions. I can stop and fast forward time, but I can't rewind it and I can only do so to a certain extent. The reason I still look the age I do, is because I froze the time around me. I kind of had to. If I let the age sip too much, then I'll end up dead… see a long time ago I got sick, very sick, but I was able to freeze the time around me so that I can't get any sicker. I have a case of Tuberculosis. However unlike all of you I can not have it cured, seeing as I have a few factors that are a bit… different than the rest of you, I can also freeze time around other things and people to some extent, though I've only ever done it twice, they're still with me today. Now then for relations, you see my mother and father was like me, time holders, making Aru a half of one as well, however father died when I was three, Same with my mother, though she died shortly after Aru was born However Aru is my half brother and Aelita's half brother, I however hold no blood relations to Aelita at all. We are merely step siblings, Aru however, is her half brother and my brother. My father died Mother got remarried to Aelita's father, and had Aru, Mother died and Aelita's father got remarried and had Aelita, but kept me as well, so that's how that works out. So now you know how that works so there're two questions I'm sure you were all wondering. Now then, time to address how I got here so easily. See I kinda helped with this thing. My real father was a computer wiz, and in turn, so was I, guess you can say it runs in the family, Aru is as well, and from what I hear, so is Aelita. So yes I helped with the supercomputer, however… none of us knew all of the horrible consequences that came with it… after Aelita's mother and I were taken away by the government, I wasn't sure what had happened, However when I got back here almost… fifteen years ago, I was able to get to the super computer and I got it up and running, however that was when Hopper was still alive… well to some extent… Xana… that wasn't what Xana was supposed to do, Xana, as well as Lyoko, was originally designed to destroy project Carthage, a multiagent program designed to monitor enemy of the state communications for the government, but… after a while… Xana developed… independence, in a way, an intelligence of it's own… Granted we didn't know this at the time, but when things weren't moving like Hopper wanted, when We realized that the program was dangerous and bugged, we decided that we'd shut it down, but… some things happened, so when father decided to shut the program down, needless to say the government wasn't too happy, they didn't care if people got hurt of if it was bugged, they wanted it finished… Father wouldn't do it, so when Mother and I were taken away he took Aelita, Aru, and hid them and himself in Lyoko, but… Xana took the chance to trap all three of them, then, he started working on creating his monsters and trying to materialize them in the real world. When I finally got loose and realized this… you have to understand I did everything I could but in the end, father gave up his life to shut down the super computer, however before that Xana I guess stole Aelita's memories… and… well, I guess still bits and pieces of Father are left, I've seen them, but It took a lot of coding to unlock Aru, for me it wasn't too hard since I knew what to do, but it wasn't an easy task… but after the computer was finally shut down I had to leave because the government had found me, so ever since I've been on the run, changing my name, since I should be as old as I am, and they're still looking for me, However because of the factor stated before I don't age any. All of this started twenty years ago, I've been gone for fifteen, however as I'm sure you've all noticed, while on Lyoko, you don't age. That's what happened though, so at least now you know. Any questions left?"
At first no one said anything, it was a long tale, and a lot to take in but Aelita did have at least one question.
"… Azur, do you know where my mom is right now? You were with her after all," She looked hopeful, but Azur looked down.
"I'm sorry sis, some things happened… and we were split up. I haven't seen her in fifteen years, I'm sorry, I wish there was more information I knew on the topic…" Azur looked truly sorry, she felt horrible for what happened. "I tried to get her out two, but… I couldn't. We were caught, but she stalled long enough for me to get away. Ever since then I've been wondering on my own, though I see you got out of Xana's grasp easily enough now to try and get Aru out… once we have the rest of his coding, Xana kinda scrambled it all up. It was hard enough just doing what I did. But there are still a lot of bugs in his programming that I need to take care of. It could be months before I get everything straitened out in his coding, so I guess we'll see how that works out. In the mean time I'll be sticking close and doing everything I can to keep Xana at bay. We'll see. Anymore questions?"
No one asked anything this time, as Aru came out of the tower. Aelita stared on in shock at him as Aru and Azur high fived.
"Way to get it done bro," Azur commented. He shook his head smiling at his older half sister.
"Me? I would have never made it to the tower if you'd not cleared the way of Xana's monsters. The credit goes to you Areka," He smiled wildly, his rich brown eyes shining with confidence. Azur giggled a bit as she turned to the others.
"Everyone this is my brother… err, half brother, Aru. Aru, this is… well, everyone," she blinked a bit confused, clearly having lost what she was thinking of, before sweat dropping in defeat. "aw fuck, not again. Stupid memory laps."
"Well I already know Aelita, but the rest of you I'm afraid I've yet to meet, other than Odd," Aru commented with a polite smile. "It's nice to meet you all, my name is Aru Schaeffer it's a pleasure to meet some friendly faces."
Aelita blinked at him. Azur however smiled at him.
"I'm guessing this is who you saw?" she giggled out softly as Aelita just nodded slowly, still in a bit of shock, as Azur just continued to smile oddly.
"Well we should all get back to the academy before some one misses us, ne? Aru, are you coming?" Azure questioned looking at her beloved half brother, who nodded shortly. "oh, and if anyone asks, your last name is Mijo, there is a LOT I have to catch you up on."
And that was all she said, before she vanished, as though she was being devitalized. Once out in the real world, she climbed the latter thing to go up to the super computer, an interesting feat, seeing as she was wearing a tutu and Ballet Pointe` shoes. She then walked over to Jeremie.
"So any particular reason why you HAVEN'T shut this thing down here?" she questioned. He sighed and nodded, before explaining the whole thing with how when he DID manage to materialize Aelita, Xana had infected her with some kind of virus that when he went to shut down Xana, that it would kill Aelita as well. I nodded in understanding. "Well any ideas how to get Aru out here?"
He nodded, and began working on the coding process.
"so did you hear it all or would you like me to re-explain?" she questioned curiously. Jeremie however shook his head.
"it's fine, I hacked your Lyoko id so I heard it all," He replied, with out looking up from the screen, "I honestly didn't think that I'd get to talk with someone who knows so much about the super computer. I was a little shocked by your story and I'm not quite sure if I believe it or not, but it's definitely an interesting idea. Though the whole thing with the time holders, and I'm not fully sure if you're telling the truth or not seeing as I've never had you mentioned in any of the files or anything about the super computer, but I guess it might be possible. If you don't mind I'd like to run some tests of my own, for… proof?"
"Doesn't matter much to me," Azur replied with a slight shrug. "In the mean time I'm gonna go down into the scanner room to greet Aru."
With that said she jumped down the hatch to the scanner room, with out even using the latter and just stood there waiting for Aru to come out. Slowly one by one the scanners opened to show the others, Yumi, Ulrich and Odd were first, After them came Aelita on her own, and as she stood there staring at the scanner, she began growing more and more excited, slowly but surely she was. When the sound of hiss of the last scanner opening reached Azur's ears, she walked over to the scanner, a calm look on her face, When she saw Aru curled up on the ground of the scanner she reached down and took her brothers hand, before slowly helping him up.
"Welcome back brother," She told him softly. He smiled weakly back at her.
"Glad to be back," he replied quietly. He was sporting a very casual style of a simple pair of jeans with a gray zip up hoodie sweatshirt and black boot like shoes other than that he was the same, brown eyed, white haired brother I'd always known. I smiled at him before hugging him and practically tackling him BACK into the scanner.
"I've missed you so much Aru. You have no iDEA how long it's been and how lonely I've been with out you, oh Aru!" She hugged him tight and he simply hugged her back softly, with a kind smile on his face. However, no one was smiling more happily than Odd, who was at that moment, happy that Azur was happy.
YAY! Chapter two is now up! I'm so proud of myself. Now I know most of you are wondering when will the sparks between Azur and Odd start actually flying, well, soon. I had to get the most information in these first two chapters, and I PROMISE that there will be more OddxAzur here VERY soon, like, next chapter or so soon. So don't worry it IS coming. So here you go everyone, Chapter two. If you guys have ANY ideas or input, pm me or just leave me a review, I LOVE feedback from my readers, and would like to try to use as many ideas of yours that I can. For now this is it but don't worry, I'll have part three up next Saturday. Now I want you all to know that the song and vid are there to signify how close Azur and Aru are as brother and sister, thus why when he came to earth she hugged him the way she did. She missed him a lot and was really lonely with out him, so you can see why I picked that song, and while she may care a lot for her brother, they only like one another as brother and sister, nothing more. No matter what anyone might think, however like I said, they ARE close, because they can understand how the other feels, but that will be explained as the story goes on.
For now lovelies, ja ne,
Sai-chan
