Chapter 3. Back To Lyoko

Vivian's P.O.V.

I awoke this morning to the pink haired girl shaking me until I was practically forced off of my bed. "Hey can't a girl get any shut-eye around here?" I yawned out while stretching. Contorting my limbs into unnatural positions. I rubbed my eyes until I could see clearly and Aelita was standing over me with her phone still in her hand. She didn't look very happy.

"C'mon, follow me, we have to be quick before my friends find out we're gone." I looked at the time, it was only 6:00, she must've called up her friends and had a disagreement, great. Well it wouldn't be the first time that I was the center of an argument. I tiredly shook my head and followed my roommate out of the dorm room, past the corridors of the academy, and into the still dark morning air. Did I mention I never really liked the dark? Yes even though I dress the way I do, I absolutely despise the moonlight, come to think of it, the sunlight isn't much better. If I could have it my way, it'd be sunset all year round, they say that that's when our world intersects with the spirit world according to old legends. The truth is, the only reason I want to know more about my past is I feel like I'm special, not in an egotistical way, but I mean, I have this feeling that before the "accident" which, by the way I was never really told what exactly this "accident" was, I was someone important. Anyway, I'm getting off track, I was wondering what Aelita was thinking. Luckily it didn't take long for her too speak up. "So, I think it's about time I tell you about that tattoo, don't you think?" She said still leading me deeper in the forest.

"Kinda, I mean, I've been dying to know." I responded quietly.

"Well where do I begin? My name is actually Aelita Schaeffer, I am the daughter of Franz Hopper and Anthea Schaeffer. To you, I would hope that those names mean nothing. But to me, they are the only reason that I exist. Well, at least in this time period. You see, I was virtualized along with my father onto a virtual world inside of a supercomputer, called Lyoko, there I stayed for 20ish years, until a young man named Jeremie Belpois reactivated the supercomputer, and me. But he also reactivated an evil computer virus called X.A.N.A. Jeremie vowed to re-materialize me on Earth and he succeeded obviously seeing as I'm right here in front of you, anyway after many years of fighting we eventually destroyed X.A.N.A. And saved the world from his influence. We also shut down the supercomputer, and normally, we wouldn't turn it back on but, the symbol that you have tattooed on your arm is his mark, the Eye of X.A.N.A." Suddenly a sharp pain ran down the back of my neck and images of the symbol flashed in my head along with a strange landscape with mossy buildings and images of a man sitting at a computer desk typing away, and just as suddenly it appeared, it disappeared, sure it was weird but I just chalked it up to being tired. I decided to focus on the task at hand.

"And what exactly do you plan to do with me in the forest?" I said with a hint of honest-to-god fear in my voice, I thought she was crazier than she seemed yesterday.

"Oh, it won't be in the forest X.A.N.A." She was walking toward me with a tree branch in her hand. And that was the last thing I remember before waking up in a brass cylindrical tube. A voice came over the speaker above me. "Scanner, run a bio integrity check on this girl, I want to find out what every last DNA strand in her contains. You see X.A.N.A. I caught on to your plan, you wanted to lure me back to the factory, so you posed as an innocent girl to get on my good side, none of my friends believed me when I told them, bu...ow hey! What the? Let go of me!" I could hear the muffled sounds of a fight upstairs when another voice came on the intercom, this time it was a male, but it sounded distorted, evil almost.

"Scanner, Vivian. Scanner, Aelita. Transfer, Vivian. Transfer, Aelita. Virtualization." And with that, everything went black for a second, when I could see again I saw that I was in a spinning blue room with the symbol that was on my arm painted proudly in the center of this room's floor. I looked at my reflection in one of the walls, I was wearing your stereotypical Japanese schoolgirl outfit, short skirt and all, but it was all black, I also had black thigh-highs on with my arm gloves still on, I had the symbol that was on the floor and my arm displaying proudly on my chest like a badge of honor. My hair was styled now in two long twin black pigtails that came down to near my ankles, like a certain virtual pop star's. My eyes were now a deep, dark crimson instead of their usual jade green, and I had gothic angel wings coming out of my back. I was about to have a panic attack.

"Aelita, what's going on?" Yep definitely having a panic attack.

"Welcome to Lyoko." She said it so calmly, like she had done this a thousand times before.

"What? No! This isn't supposed to be real! You're supposed to be batshit insane, and making up a fantasy world in your head! I must be dreaming! Get me the hell out of here!" Make that a full mental breakdown.

"Shut up! You're just gonna attract the monsters!"

"M..monsters?" I gulped, I was frightened. "H...how do we get out of here?"

"We don't, not unless someone on the other side can bring us back. Besides, the more important question is HOW did we get to Lyoko? All I know is something grabbed me and threw me in one of the scanners, and the next thing I knew, I was here."

"Any Idea who did it?"

"Yeah, X.A.N.A." She said grimly. "Whatever he wants from me, it concerns you too, or else he wouldn't have brought you here."

"But I haven't done anything!"

"That tattoo suggests otherwise, look, I believe that you've told me everything you know, but I think that there is a part of your past that for some reason, you don't remember. And whatever that part is, X.A.N.A. Has something to do with it, and I intend to find out exactly what he wants."

"So what do you suggest we do?"

"Wait here until Jeremie comes looking for me, he knows that I'd come here. Until then however, we just need to lay low, got it?" I shook my head and sat down. It was going to be a long wait. And I was right, about 2 hours later a voice came over the intercom.

"Aelita, what were you thinking? Are you alright? I thought we agreed to never turn the supercomputer back on! Let alone go to Lyoko with a 14 year old girl!"

"Calm down Jeremie, me and Vivian are fine, can you get us back to Earth?" A few minutes passed "Jeremie?" A bright flashing light suddenly appeared in front of us and a blonde male materialized in front of us. He was wearing a black suit and pants with a white undershirt and black cape, he also was wearing black shades with binary floating in them. He was shocked but didn't say a word. He just pointed us in the direction of 3 cube shaped monsters. Aelita and Jeremie ran after them and destroyed them easily, one with pink orbs, the other with a disc shaped blade.

"Mind explaining what you're doing on Lyoko?" Aelita asked the blonde.

"I'm just as confused as you are, I do know this is the avatar I created just in case I needed to come here. I can still get us out, we just need to find a tower. I made myself have administrative powers so I can use the supercomputer from inside Lyoko!"

"Whatever you say Jeremie." She rolled her eyes and followed him, they urged me to come with. Man, this day just keeps getting stranger and stranger. Anyway we arrived at a tower and we went inside.

"Command, execute Code: EARTH" Jeremie shouted to nothing in particular. And with another bright flash we were in a room back on Earth.

"You two have a lot of explaining to do!" I choked out between gasps.

Chapter 4 will be up as soon as I can finish it, I've got drafts for chapters, 4, 5, and 6, I just need to edit them and revise a little :D Thanks for taking the time to read my story! Please review!
