What… What is going on? I… can't move…

Odd sat in a chair in an ambulance, looking down at Anya. He was surprised to find that he was upset, seeing as he barely knew her, and all. But… why did she collapse? It reminded Odd of a day a long time ago when the supercomputer was dying and Aelita collapsed. This was different, though. Anya wasn't connected to supercomputer, like Aelita. Still…

All of a sudden, Odd's phone rang. It was Jeremie. "Odd, where are you? We already finished deactivating the tower. For some reason, it was blue."

"Einstein, I'm in an ambulance. Anya's heart stopped beating."

"Just all of a sudden?" Jeremie sounded like he was thinking.

"Yeah. It was really weird. I was trying to explain to her why I had to go without telling her about Lyoko, and she just collapsed."

"Hmm… Maybe… No, that's ridiculous."

"What? Einstein, you gotta tell me!"

"Well…" Jeremie hesitated for a moment. "I think that maybe Anya's connected to that blue tower somehow."

Odd was shocked for a second. Einstein had the same idea as me! "I was actually thinking the same thing! I remembered the time when Aelita collapsed, and they reminded me of each other."

"Okay. I'm going to do a little research on Anya. Find out where she's from, and all that. Keep me posted on what she's doing."

"Roger that, Einstein." Odd shut off the phone and looked at Anya lying in the bed next to him. Could she really be the next X.A.N.A.?

Back at the lab, Jeremie told the others, who were back on Earth, what had happened. William was skeptic. "I don't think so. I mean, she is a strangely good swordfighter, but I don't think she could do something like that."

Yumi disagreed, though maybe just to disagree with William. "It might be possible. The funny thing that I noticed was that her Japanese had an accent. As if that weren't her first language. She might not be who she says she is."

Ulrich, Aelita, and Jeremie just really weren't sure. They thought they should do more research, so Jeremie turned to the supercomputer. "I'm going to stay here and work on researching Anya for a little bit. I want to see who this so-called 'Anya River' is."

Aelita agreed. "I'll make up an excuse for you. That is, if they actually notice. Everyone will probably be in a panic." Ulrich, Aelita, William, and Yumi then went back to school.

The ambulance had finally reached the hospital. They rushed Anya into the Emergency Room, and Odd had to wait outside. After what seemed like an eternity, a doctor came out. "Anya's heartbeat has returned, but she's sleeping. You can go in if you want, but be careful not to wake her."

Odd nodded, and went inside. Anya was lying on the hospital bed, looking exhausted. Odd sat down in the chair next to her. She can't be the next XANA, he thought, looking down at her pale form. She just can't be!

Back at the lab, Jeremie had made a discovery. After hacking several Japanese files, and, using a translator, he had obtained files on Anya River. There were practically none. Just a request to transfer her to Kadic from about a month ago. No birth date, no family, no fingerprints, old school, or address. It was as if Anya had just suddenly popped up. Just then, a familiar beeping sound was heard, and Jeremie groaned. Not another activated tower! Just then, Odd called. "What is it, Odd?"

"Einstein, Anya just woke up! She's okay!" Color drained from Jeremie's face. A tower activated, and Anya woke up. Not a coincidence. He groaned. Another XANA! Or… He thought for a moment. Maybe not. "Einstein? Einstein, are you still there?"

"I'm here, Odd. Listen, right before you called, a tower was activated. Two times in a row, in one day, cannot be a coincidence. Anya activated those towers." On the other line, Odd gasped. "I want you to ask her if she knows anything about blue towers, okay?"

"Okay." Odd hung up. Jeremie leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Now they could finally get to the bottom of this. But… He should let the others know. He leaned forward, cracked his knuckles, and began typing.

Back at the hospital, Odd got off the phone, and looked down at Anya. She activated those towers? From here? But… How? He resolved himself, and turned to Anya. "Anya… Do you… Do you know anything about blue towers?"

Anya frowned, taking a moment to understand what he said. She then answered, but hesitantly. "Yes… but… Why do you want to know?" Odd gasped inwardly. She knew about the blue towers! That means Jeremie was right!

Odd thought for a moment, trying to figure out how to explain to Anya. Well, he thought, preparing for the others' wrath when they found out, I might as well start from the beginning. "Well, awhile ago, when I first came to this school, I shared a room with Ulrich. On my first day, Jeremie got electrocuted by a vending machine. From there, well, it all went downhill…"

Fool! Don't tell him that! My energy is regaining, but you are still so foolish! If he finds out, we'll both have to leave again! I don't want to waste my energy erasing more memories and more computer files! I don't want everyone to forget about us!
