Alexa POV:

Today is saturday so there are no classes. I eventually decide to go to the cafeteria to get some food. Once I got food, I sit down at the tables in the cafeteria. A couple students come up to me during various parts of the morning and welcome me to Kadic.

A girl with pink hair approaches me and says, "Hi, Alexa, my name is Aelita. How are you liking Kadic so far?"

"Fine, but I didn't come here for friends or chit chat. Now state your purpose or leave," I stated calmly, but irritably.

A boy with brown hair and army green jacket steps into our conversation. "Hey! You don't have to be so rude. She was just trying to be nice."

"Yeah, we all know what you're going through, being the new kid and all that. Lighten up," says another boy with a purple stripe in the middle of his blonde hair.

I have had enough of these people. "You have no fucking clue what I've been through! You just met me so don't even pretend to know me or my problems" I yell at them. Without another word uttered between any of us, I stand up and walk away hoping to get some peace and quiet away from other students. I couldn't go to my dorm since the room next to mine is occupied by this annoying girl named Elizabeth or Sissy as she calls herself so I decided to go to the woods next to the school to calm down.

Odd POV:

I watch in wonder as Alexandria storms away. Part of me wants to go after her and talk to her but I know after that scene she probably doesn't want to talk to me or anybody. I can't help but wonder what happened to Alexa that would make her react to people like that.

"Hey, what's up with her? We were just trying to be nice!"

Jeremie says in reply to me, "I don't know. I tried getting more info on her but her records are sealed."

"Maybe we should try and get closer to her?" says Aelita quietly.

"Aelita, I think it might be best to leave her for a little while," says Yumi giving Aelita a pat on the shoulder.

I can't get her out of my head what happened to her that caused her so much pain. I thought.

There passes a few seconds of silence before Jeremie suddenly announces to us, "Guys, XANA just activated another tower we need to hurry to the factory." Just as we begin to head over to the lab, the cafeteria is overpowered by a loud roar from outside. I carefully walk outside to see boy with black hair sitting on top of a lion with the XANA symbol in his eyes. "Odd, you and Ulrich protect the school while Yumi, Aelita, and I head to the factory."

Alexa Pov:

As I was walking to the woods to calm down and I heard the commotion. When I turned around I saw students running for their lives from lions. I started running towards a lion that was closing in on other students and kicked it as hard as I could. When I looked at the other lions I saw the mark of xana flash in their eyes. Why is xana here why now!?I think to myself. I turn around ready to fight, but then I am met face to face with my brother who is still possessed by xana. He hops off the lion and slowly stalks over to me with a smirk on his face and "Looks like I finally found you, Did you really think you could get away from me?" he whispers, voice distorted. I struggled to shift my gaze away but my eyes were locked on his, transfixed. A sneer plastered across his face.

'NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!' I think. I froze in terror. My mind yelled at my body, "Move! MOVE!" I wanted to move. I wanted to turn and run and run and run as far away as I could from him, But my feet were rooted to the ground. Just as he was about to wrap his fingers around my neck and render me unconscious, someone jumps in front of me and kicks my possessed brother away and I snap back to reality.

Odd, or at least I think that's his name since that is what the others called him, is there trying to fend off some of the lions with a fallen tree branch. I find a metal rod near the classroom door from the science class, and do the same as Odd and started fighting off the lions.

"Get out of here, Alex! It's dangerous!" he shouts at me.

"Don't ever tell me to run! I'm going to fight!" In just a little louder than a whisper, I say, "This is my fight too."

With a strong kick I break one of the lion's jaws. Then momentarily a white sphere started to appear. I stepped back and looked at it for a couple seconds. "A return to the past huh. Looks like I have a job to do," I say aloud to myself quietly.

Yumi Pov:

Aelita and I charge through the digital world of Lyoko in the ice sector while simultaneously fighting off various XANA possessed bloks, hornets, and kankrelets. The tower is in sight and we just keep running.

Finally, we reached the base of the glowing tower; except something was different. A boy who appears to be our age stood in front blocking the entrance. Without a second thought, I quickly threw my fans and him and successfully devirtualize him.

"Aelita, run to the tower now!" I yell at her.

Through the transceiver, I hear Jeramie announce, "Return to the past now!"
