Yumi Ishiyama's House 7:00 AM

An Asian adolescent girl who was fifteen woke up from a startling dream. It seemed too real as if it was already happening… No. It was probably just a nightmare and nothing more. She got out of bed and looked at her stuffed cat that one of her good friends, Ulrich, had teased her about. After washing her face, she put on her simple clothes: a black blouse with flower imprints on the bottom, some black pants that went down to her ankles, and black flats. Black was definitely her color. She looked at her dark, short hair which was tied into a Japanese bun.

She rushed down the stairs to eat some breakfast and head for her school. As she sat down at her table and greeted her parents, her little brother ran into the room. He may have seemed innocent, but one could not let his looks fool them. With his tools he could unlock any door.

As she ate her breakfast she thought about something that had happened two years ago. It had not happened in reality, but in an actual virtual world. When she was about to fall into the Digital Sea where things can get deleted if they fall, Ulrich clutched her hand. She was glad that he couldn't see her face because it was burning with blush. They looked into each other's eyes, when he had brought her on to the desert platform and they leaned in for a virtual kiss. Wow! That sounds awkward. Aelita, though, had to deactivate a tower so that the virus, XANA, could lose access to the real world. A return to the past occurred right before their lips touched one another.

Then more painful memories came to her, like William making Ulrich Jealous and even the principal's daughter, Sisi, making her feel insecure. She remembered the painful feeling when she told Ulrich that they should be good friends. To her surprise, he didn't take it well and even seemed angry about what Yumi had suggested to him.

After XANA was destroyed and the super computer shut down, Ulrich would always be outran by William who would come to her first, creating jealousy and rage in Ulrich. She wished she could be with him as easily as Jeremie and Aelita were together.

"Hey Yumi!" her brother, Hiroki, startled her, "Why are you so sad? Is it Ulrich? Ulrich, I lovvvve you! Ha ha ha."

"Hiroki!"their mother strictly replied in a sharp, thick Japanese accent. "No more breakfast for you! Yumi, please bring your brother to school."

Hiroki and Yumi walked out of their house towards Kadic Academy, when she saw William waiting for her at the fence of the boarding school.

"Hiroki," Yumi quickly spoke,"You go through the gate and go to class. Don't think about staying here."

William saw her, his eyes sparkled, and he ran towards her.

Meanwhile at the French Secret Services Headquarters

Three Hours Earlier (4:00 AM)

"Think about it men! It has been twenty years since Hopper escaped with the plans for Project Carthage!" the boss, Director Louis, yelled.

Agent Brock and Agent Smith exchanged looks and remembered what they had been talking about that seemed very unreal and imaginary.

"We have an idea!" Agent Brock yelled. He was a tall man of six feet, three inches with a blonde crew cut hairstyle, an extremely muscular body, and black suit with black polished shoes. For a man in his early thirties, he had a high rank as the Director's bodyguard and detective. "Director, come with me to a place where I suspect has information that you are looking for."

The Director, Agent Brock, and Agent Smith walked towards an abandoned factory. Agent Smith looked at his reflection in the man-made lake under the bridge and saw his black, pretty fit, and six feet, five inches body with a shaved head and the same uniform as Brock. For a moment, he saw a strange symbol in his eyes as if remembering a terrible memory and all of his body and mind were urging him to run away.

The Director was in his early forties having brown medium length hair, wearing sunglasses and a suit with a badge and golden shoulder pads, and was the most fit for his age in the whole Secret Services. He had a height of five feet and eleven inches. He walked into the elevator with his two companions and went down the shaft to the very last floor at the bottom. Admiral Louis walked towards the supercomputer and turned it on with immediate light bursting out.

Meanwhile in Lyoko

The Digital Sea was a dark empty void until a hub came into existence. The sea became a bright blue with platforms forming inside, full of information in 0's and 1's. Sector 5 reformed with the desert, forest, ice, and mountain sectors. Towers were recreated, glowing white and signaled XANA's disappearance.

Back in the Factory 4:50 AM

"Wow! Incredible!" the Director stated in awe as he took a seat on the chair of the computer and went through files. "XANA: A Program to Destroy Carthage." Very interesting!"

He launched XANA and tried to use it to his own benefits, but then he heard a dark whisper in his ears, telling him which buttons to push.

Suddenly the scanners opened one floor below and all the towers glowed a light shade of blue.

"Go into the scanners," the controlling voice urged, putting the three men into a spell.

The scanners closed and an evil laugh echoed as the men in the scanners screamed and violently pounded at the closed space. Red data streamed on the computer and the three men walked out as minions of XANA.

At Kadic Academy 5:00 AM

Jeremie woke up to the sound of familiar beeping on his computer.

"No, it can't be!" he yelled as he saw an activated tower. "I need to get Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita!"

Just then, Smith walked into the room and electrocuted him; then he dragged him out of the room as a polymorphic clone took the shape of Jeremie. The clone walked towards Aelita's room with XANA's insignia in his eyes.

Aelita's Room 5:10 AM

"Jeremie!" Aelita yelled. She was a thirteen year old girl with pink hair, green eyes, and a nice personality. "What are you doing here so early?"

"This is crazy, but XANA is back and with a tower too!" replied the clone.

"Okay!" she hastily grumbled. "Let's wait until seven to see what's going on. The virus is not a big threat yet."

With that she fell back asleep and the clone walked back to Jeremie's room.

William at Kadic Academy 7:45 AM

William was waiting for the love of his life to come who was Yumi Ishiyama. How could she not see that he loved her more than that grumpy, short-tempered brat, Ulrich Stern, did. He even had better looks: navy blue wavy hair, a nice looking face, an aviator jacket, black t-shirt, skinny jeans, and all star shoes.

He saw Yumi walking with her brother and she whispered something into his ears. Then, he ran past William into school, and William jogged towards Yumi.

"Hey Yumi!" William went a little too far into Yumi's personal space, but she backed away, disappointing him.

"Uh, hey William. Listen, I need to get to class," she faked a smile, but as she started to enter the gates he blocked the entrance. She glared at him and asked, "What do you want?"

"It's Ulrich, isn't it!" he yelled with rage.

"What do you mean!" she looked angry and embarrassed at the same time with a crimson red face full of blush. "It's none of your own business who I like and don't like, understand?"

"No, I don't understand!" William retorted. "I don't get it. I could treat you way better than that scumbag would."

"Listen up William!" she looked right into his eyes. "The reason is that we have feelings for each other and I don't think you can be trusted ever since you got possessed by XANA!"

"Oh William!" her expression changed to regret. "I'm so sorry."

William shook his head and walked towards his class without Yumi.

Well that's it! This is the first official chapter! Suscribe, like, etc. :)
