NYAN hey hey hey you I don own what moonscoop does enjoy deh story
I woke with a start. Today was the day, the day I'd finally find out where my family was. Without brushing my hair, teeth, or even changing out of my night clothing I barged right into Michael's room and started telling him frantically to get up.
"Alana, stop, I'm not a morning bird..." Michael mumbled, though his words were muffled by his pillow.
"Why of course you aren't." I replied cheerily, "You, Michael, are a human." he facepalmed.
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked, lost. Then he chuckled slightly, meaning it was alright.
"No, you just always take things so literally."
"Oh, sorry." I apologized.
"It's fine Alana, you'll get the hang of things." He reassured me.
"Ok, well, um, the search program is all set up, I was just waiting for you to run it." I said.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, let's go." he got up and together we walked back to my dorm. Everything had already been set up but the program would take an entire day to run and constant monitoring.
"So how do you start this thing?" Michael asked. I responded by pressing the enter button.
"Like that."
"And you got me up to watch you press a button?"
"Well, that and to keep me company." I said
"Right, so, um, about yesterday...?" Michael started.
"I don't wanna talk about it..." I said, hoping he would drop it.
"Are you sure?" he insisted.
"Well..."
"Yes?"
"All my life...I was pushed away."
"What do you mean?" Michael asked. I took a deep breath, thought I wouldn't have to tell this story...
I was 8 in human years, walking around with my best friend, Mimi Della Robbia, a descendant of Odd. She had all the Della Robbia traits, blonde and purple hair, tied into a ponytail, green eyes, svelte figure, everything. We were talking and laughing and whatnot when we realized...we'd wandered into Xana territory.
"Alana, let's go back." Mimi said nervously.
"No, I wanna see what's here, we've never been allowed."
"Yeah, there's a reason for that, don't you remember the stories?"
"Yeah, yeah, monsters, unsolvable labyrinths, we can handle it."
"What about the Scyphozoa?" she said.
"We can take him, what're you so worried about?" and with that I walked ahead, with her hesitatingly following me from a distance. I went ahead into a cave and found that the Scyphozoa waiting for me. Before I could even react it picked me up, put it's tentacles to my head, started either taking or inserting data, I couldn't tell because just as soon as it started, I was dropped. Mimi had nailed it with a laser disk, making it retreat.
"Are you alright?" Mimi asked.
"I feel...kinda funny..." I replied, getting up.
"Let's get home." Mimi said urgently, I nodded then picked her up by the arms and took flight. She weighs very little so I could fly the both of us to the way tower and home without much effort. When we got back to the forest sector we went to the top programer here and told him what happened. Upon hearing it he rushed me off to the nearest tower for a full scan. The results showed I had a strand of Xana's genetic code mixed in with my own. Only a single strand mind you, but that's all that it takes...to corrupt my entire genetic code and rebuild Xana bigger and more powerful than ever. Top programmers from everywhere came to try to extract and destroy the strand but none were able to do anything to get rid of it or counter it or anything like that. A little piece of Xana was inside me, and it refused to come out. The news spread like wildfire. That the Schaeffer girl from the forest was infected. I was given the nickname "The Fallen Angel". Many wanted to kill me right then and there, but my mom and Mimi were able to convince everyone to let me live. My father however kinda faded into the shadows and stayed out of everything. Everyone but Mimi and my mother started avoiding me, they feared what I might become. I often flew into trees or caves and isolated myself. I lived in constant fear...of myself
"See, the original plan was to leave me on lyoko when it crashed. I would be deleted along with everything else and Xana would be gone forever. My mom desperately looked for a way out of it, for me to survive, and she found the answer...Earth." I finished my story and looked down at the keyboard. It seemed Michael was at a loss for words.
"That's why I'm pushed away, there's evil inside of me...and it's just waiting to come out..."
"Alana, can't you see how smart your mom was? She not only gave you your life, but a second chance. Nobody here even knows what Xana is except me but I don't care. You can be a normal kid here."
I was silent...but...he was right...this was my second chance and I couldn't screw it up by counting myself out. I'd make friends and, well, just fit in. I stared at the screen, time flies, the program was almost finished.
"My mom, a few days before the crash, told me that once they found a new home she'd work day and night to find a cure for me and once she found it she'd come for me. Mimi said she'd work on a way to virtualize and materialize people."
"Sounds like those two really love you." Michael said. "Now I get why you want to find them so bad."
"Yeah..." I trailed off, keeping my eyes trained on the keyboard. Then I suddenly I heard a beeping, the program was done. I looked up and saw...a red x...the search was a failure...
"No..."
"Does that mean they're..."
"No. Well...I don't know...The program, it doesn't have enough power to run. From the look of it we would need nothing short of a supercomputer, which there aren't any for miles and it isn't like whoever's using it will just let us tromp in and use it, besides not many supercomputers connect to the internet in the first place."
"So...what are you gonna do now?" Michael asked.
"Same thing we do every night Michael, try to take over the world." I said. He nodded, then did a double take.
"Wait, what?"
"I read it online somewhere. Anyway, I'm gonna think of a new way to find them, but in the mean time I'm going to not waste this second chance I got. It's time to enjoy what I have."
Review please :D
