Piper Pov.

Whatever happened to having a peaceful morning, and keeping it that way throughout the day? My day started great, Jason woke me up to go to breakfast and then we were walking through the forest, him teaching me new tricks to use with my dagger. He is such the warrior, and cute too. He has the most amazing blond hair and blue eyes and, well, you get the point.

How was it ruined? Leo came over crying, apologizing for waking up an "e-Gaea." I'm not sure I wanted to know, but he took us both by the arms and led us to bunker nine. He opened another wall using his firepower and what I saw blew my mind. I saw a huge computer and seven scanners in an adjacent room, which had an open door leading to it.

"Jason, lets explore, it might help us understand this X.A.N.A's email/note," I told him. He nodded his head and we set off while Leo played around with the giant computer.

"Pipes! Check this out!" Jason called me. On the opposite side of the room, he found a trapdoor that led to a lit room. In the room, there were 7 tubes that looked like it was made out of celestial bronze. All the tubes were open, so I walked inside one to check it out.

I heard the doors slam shut behind me a second later. Jason pounded his fists against his door screaming my name. "Piper? Are you all right?" a light scanned my body.

"Its too bright in here!"

"Valdez, I'll kill you! Get her out!" He shouted at Leo while banging his fists. I felt myself sort-of disappear, as if I was slowly being broken down.

Then next thing I remember is falling and landing on my butt. I opened my eyes and saw a different world. It seemed as if I were in a desert, but everything was like a 3-D video game, nothing like the human world. I looked down and saw I also looked like a character from a video game. I was wearing an orange, Greek styled dress that ended right above my knees and golden gladiator sandals. I had armor on my entire body and a virtual version of my dagger was hanging at my waist. My hair had its usual cut, but my braids were intertwined with orange and purple ribbons. I heard Leo and Jason arguing and yelling at each other from thin air, so I called out to them.

"Guys! Are you there?"

"Piper? I found this mike, can you hear me?" asked Leo.

"Cristal Clear."

"Ok, so while I figure out what the hell is going on, just explore while I try to find a way to pull you out of there."

"Gotcha Repair Boy."

"Super Commander of the Argo II."

"Yeah right." I started walking and exploring this weird terrain. I noticed I couldn't smell and my sense of touch was very general. I noticed something behind me. I got closer to the strange little creature. It looked like a pinto bean with a red eye painted on its forehead and black bug-like legs. It started humming and my demigod instincts kicked in just in time because it fired a laser at me. I did what most demigods to in this situation, I ran.

Aelita POV

"Aelita," Jeremie's voice came over the speakers. "There is something headed at 5 o'clock. Go check it out." I opened my wings and flew over there. I saw a girl being chased by a Kankerlot. I threw an energy field at it and it exploded. The girl got a look at me.

"Who are you," she asked. "Where am I?"

"Who is your enemy?" I asked her.

"Do you want a list? There's Midas, Ma Gasket, all the giants, Medea, there's more if you have enough patience to hear it."

"What about X.A.N.A.?"

"This is the first time I'm here, and all I know is that this X.A.N.A. scared my friend."

"My name is Aelita, and this is Lyoko."

"I'm Piper, can you help me?"

"Yes, see that green tower?" she nodded. "Go inside and just wait, I'll take you back to the normal world."

"Thanks," she started to run off.

"Wait! Do you have a weapon?" I asked her.

"Yup," she took out a dagger from her sheath at her waist.

"Stab a monster in the painted eye on their heads, that kills them."

She waved thanks and ran off. I informed Jeremie on everything.

"Just deactivate the tower and the others to devitalize so I can focus on this girl. Lets send her here, and then we can buy her a plane ticket at most."

"Ok, she is in the tower right now. I just need to deactivate this red tower."

When the tower was finally deactivated, I went outside, and saw the gang. They were all in an incomplete circle waiting for me so we could deactivate each other. All it took was one strike to each other to meet with a girl who looked a lot like her virtual hologram, even the haircut, demanding a cell phone.
