Ummm... see, I'm not dead! Nor has all the snow given my fingers frostbite, preventing me from typing. I'm feeling awful, so my mom's letting me stay home from school (yeah, it's snowing and there's school. How gay is that?) NEWS!!! I've given permission to the author 'I-Breached-UR-Security' (Bre'Ann's one of my personal friends) to use one of my song: 'Little Miss Angel', by Pressure Points, -AKA me- for her FF 'Shadow of the Day: book 1: I MISS YOU'. It was either that or book 2... and NO, ur not getting the name. It's rather good, go read it! So, R&R.

Disclaim: CL and any songs I use in my fanfics that aren't mine.

Claim: I own my OCs, any tidbits or additions that are MINE!!! Mwahahahaha! And... anything else in here that's mine. (And you'll know what it is.)

Hailie stood in her room, pacing, wondering what she was going to do. How could she tell them? Would they ever trust her? It doesn't matter if they trust me or not- Lyoko isn't their's... it's Star's... She stopped. Odd would want them to help her.

She walked out of her own dorm, walking gingerly out of the warm dormitories into the snow. Despite the clear day it had been yesterday, clouds had rolled in at about four o'clock in the morning and snow coated the ground two inches thick by seven. She walked across the courtyard and into the forest, knowing they would follow her.

Sure enough, she heard them crunching behind her, obviously trying not to be heard. She turned around. "Come on, guys." They all trickled out from behind some trees.

"What?" Yumi asked.

"Come on! You guys wanted to help me? Have you changed your minds?"

Odd shrugged, and they followed her right passed the manhole. "Hey, where are we going?" Odd looked around.

"To my manhole," she replied. Sure enough, about a quarter mile through the crunching snow, they came to another manhole, and hopped inside. This manhole was only a couple hundred yards away from the one leading to the factory. They exited.

"Jeremie, virtualize us. Don't ask questions, I'll explain everything soon," Hailie commanded.

"But-"

"No questions!" Her voice was gentle but firm.

She's pretty... Odd thought to himself.

On Lyoko

Hailie Lyoko outfit consisted of white. Her pants were white cargo. Her feet were bare and had tiny claws instead of toenails. Her shirt was long sleeved, but the sleeve started about her shoulder. She wore a tight blue spandex tanktop underneath it that would've showed off her navel if it hadn't been for the white shirt over it. Her hands were claws also; she had a fluffy white tail poking out of her rear end and white, fluffy ears at the top of her blond hair. To put it bluntly, she was based on an Arctic Fox.

"Jeremie, where's the nearest tower?" Hailie asked. Jeremie directed her there, and she melted inside. "No one follow me. This is gonna be bright..." She was mumbling as she entered. She walked to the middle of the lower platform, then felt herself rise to land silently on the upper platform. After padding to the screen, she flicked through some windows before she came across the right one. It asked her name and a code. She whisperd, "I'm coming, Star..." Hurry up, Hailie, I'm tired of this place!

Name: HAILIE

Code: STAR

There was huge, blinding flash of light, and Hailie watched as the tower's walls began to melt into what looked like a blue-gray liquid. They bubbled at the side like water, and the entire tower's side- which were the water, changed to yellow and glowed dimly. "It's about time..." The entire tower was now glowing a bright yellow.

She jumped backward off of the platform and landed on her feet hard. She stumbled weakly out of the tower, and saw that the sky of the Ice Sector was glowing like the tower.

The process had begun.

Oops, sorry, I'm ending it!!! Alright, fine, I won't end it, put the sharp objects away please.

The sky was aglow in yellow flames and clouds. The Lyoko hologram began to pulsate and turned red at the top. The tower continued glowing like a light bulb. Screeching filled the area, causing everyone but Hailie to cover her ears. Hailie stared up at the sky, as did every one else. The difference was she stared up with expectance, not with awe.

Then suddenly sixteen objects of flame burst out of the flaming fire in the sky; they were each a different color, from gray to blue to red to green, but all were fire. They were in the shape of birds, and they landed clumsily but stood up straight and proud. They were birds, but their feathers were made of different colored flame; there was only one black one. Each had eyes of a different color from their flaming feathers, their beaks and talons the same color as their eyes. They each were about as tall as the group, with a wingspan of six feet.

The Lyokonian sky was still aflame, the the flames were now a deep shade of red. Lyoko was hit with a sudden earthquake, and the ground trembled gently. Hailie murmered something, and a soft blue light formed in front of the birds and the gang. The fire suddenly exploded into thousands of peices. The light grew slightly and surrouded the game in the bubble. The fire burst out, and suddenly fire began falling from the sky, gently as snow.

Yumi and Aelita cried out and started to panic when the fire-rain began to hit the top of the blue bubble. "Relax!" Hailie ordered. "I'll explain in a minute." Then the rain slowed to a stop. Lyoko stopped quaking and the hologram turned it's regular color. The tower was now back to it's regular color, but the mist around the top was not red nor blue; it was a deep white-yellow and it also glowed. A new land mass appeared above the Ice Sector. There was a clearly visible object up there, and a strange ring of fire clowed directly beneath it. At the top they heard a cry, and down came a figure, splattering into the middle of the fire-ring and standing up slowly, shakily.

Hailie whispered, flicking her tail as the bubble disappeared. "Welcome to The Sky Sector."

The END!!! (Of the chapter.) PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!! This is where the intresting stuff starts. In the next chapter, you get to understand what the HELL just happened.
