(I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile! Thanks for all your wonderful comments! This one is a bit shorter than usual, but I was rushing while I wrote it so I could but it up here. It's a bit lower quality than my other two, but I will try to up the quality on my next chapter. From now on, I'm going to try to upload a new chapter once a week. Sometimes, I might post more frequently, or, in most cases, less frequently, but I will try to not do that a lot. Anyway, I'll stop rambling and let you get to the story. Enjoy!!!)

I have found a wonderful power source. I only hope that no one else discovers it and attempts to take it away from me. I do not want to resort to desperate measures…

The next day, at breakfast, Jeremy brought his laptop. Normally, that wouldn't have been different from usual, but he had a worried look on his face.

"Jeremy, what's wrong?" asked Aelita worriedly. Jeremy sighed, stabbing at his food with his fork. He didn't reply. Odd waved a hand in front of his face.

"Einstein, are you with us? And if you don't want that, can I have it?" Jeremy blinked a few times, suddenly coming back into focus. He pushed his tray of basically untouched food to Odd, and opened his computer. He started doing things on it, running programs and the like, and began talking to his friends.

"My computer turned on last night. It's been running programs about the supercomputer since it turned on." Everyone looked surprised, and Odd even stopped eating to listen. "I think we should go to the factory today." All of a sudden, his computer made a beeping sound that all of the group knew by heart.

"An Activated Tower!" exclaimed Yumi. The whole group got out of their chairs and left the cafeteria. Anya watched at the next table with interested eyes.

At the factory, Jeremy went straight to the supercomputer. "It's true! There has been an activated tower! How, I don't know. Quick, everyone down to the scanner rooms. Odd, you go get William." Yumi looked as if she were about to protest, but thought better of it. Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita climbed down to the scanner room, while Odd went back the elevator.

"Scanner, Yumi. Scanner, Ulrich. Scanner, Aelita. Virtualization!" The three were virtualized into the forest region. The Overwing and Overbike were virtualized, and Ulrich took the bike while Aelita and Yumi took the Overwing. "The activated tower is due north from your position. There don't seem to be any monsters, but be careful. We don't know how X.A.N.A. still exists, so be careful."

"Roger that," announced Yumi as the group sped off. They began to follow the series of paths that would take them to the tower.

Back at the school, Odd found William in the cafeteria. "William, hurry!" he exclaimed quietly. "There's an activated tower on Lyoko!" William looked confused, but followed after Odd. He had a question on his lips as they approached the door, when Anya stopped them.

"Odd, what be going on?" she asked, her English better than before but her eyes troubled.

Odd hesitated, then turned to William. "Go on ahead." William nodded and took off.

"Scanner, William. Virtualization!" William was virtualized onto Lyoko, right where the others were, and landed on the Overboard. He almost fell off, but caught on to the controls very quickly.

"Odd got held up," he told the others, seeing their confused looks. They nodded, and the whole group sped off to the tower. When they reached it, they stopped short.

"Jeremy, something's wrong. The tower's blue." Ulrich told Jeremy.

Back at the cafeteria, Odd was trying to come up with an excuse to get away from Anya. "Well… umm… I can't really tell you."

Anya tilted her head to one side. "Why?"

"Well, it's a secret," he explained.

"What is Secret?" asked Anya. Odd sighed. This was going to take awhile.

Back at the factory, Jeremy was nonplussed. "How could the tower be blue? I'm green, Franz Hopper is white, and X.A.N.A. is red, but who's blue? We'll figure it out later. Just deactivate it."

Aelita stepped off the Overwing and entered the tower. She walked in, the circles lighting up as she passed, and was lifted up to the next platform. She put her hand on the screen, watched as it said 'Aelita', and then 'Code Lyoko'. The tower deactivated.

At the cafeteria, Anya collapsed. Odd caught her, and felt for her pulse. Nothing. Jim who was nearby, ran over.

"Is she alright? What's the matter?" he asked.

"Her heart, it's not beating!" Odd was surprised to find tears rolling down his cheeks. Jim didn't ask any more questions, but called the hospital. When men came to take Anya away in an ambulance, Odd followed her into it. As he stared down at her, lying in the ambulance bed, he couldn't say a word. Why her?

What happened? What is wrong? I feel so weak... and tired…
