Well, it's late, but I did it, 5 updates in a...waking period. I own Katie and Ana, none of the other things
I was in space, deep space. There were stars and galaxies everywhere, it was beautiful. I saw Katie flying across, she was wearing some sort of cool armor. There was this fog...formless...black thing. I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between it and the rest of space if it weren't a different texture. Katie flew towards the thing and it flew toward her. It formed into a man with short black hair and gray eyes wearing a cape and armor somewhat like Katie's. Katie drew a sword that glowed and so did he. It was kinda like light sabers except more sword-like. They fought hard, the lack of gravity didn't seem to bother either of them. She threw a punch, he caught it, and she disappeared in a wisp of light blue and dark purple smoke. Then the figure turned toward me, it looked at me. My vision blacked out and I saw red symbols, red symbols everywhere, then the man was there, he lunged at me.
I woke up with a start. I was sweating. I rarely dreamed, but when I did, it was very very realistic. I looked over at Katie's bed to see if I'd woken her up at all and was surprised to see she wasn't there at all! My eyes widened, had she been taken by the shadow man thing? I jumped out of bed and looked over, there was a note on her bed.
Ana,
Gone Explorin'
Cover for me if Ed comes, I should be back by midnight.
-KG
I looked at the time, 12:30. Of course, this was Katie we were talking about. I lay back down and closed my eyes but couldn't sleep. Katie hadn't changed a bit...that wasn't necessarily all good. She didn't seem to have grown up any since I'd last seen her. She was still stuck in her little cartoony world. She didn't really take things seriously and I don't think she understood the whole concept of being girly...and...doing stuff? My thoughts drifted off and before I knew it my alarm went off. It was morning.
"Morning Ana!" Katie said, she was awfully chipper for the morning, as I recalled she wasn't a morning person.
"You seem happy..." I said, not fully awake.
"Why shouldn't I be, it's a great day!"
"Where were you last night anyways?" I yawned and sat up, rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, and started to gather my things to go to the showers.
"Oh...you noticed I was gone? You were asleep when I came back." She laughed nervously a little. I looked at her sitting there with a masked guilty expression.
"You...you were out with a guy weren't you?" I accused.
"What?" She blushed.
"You're blushing, it must be true!"
"Ugh...no. I hate when people say that. It's not that I was with anyone, it's just awkward to be accused of it. There was a guy, but not in the way your thinking!" Katie got all of her stuff, she had a lot less than me.
"...Was he cute?" I asked. She facepalmed then started to walk. "Silence means yes!"
"I'm walking away now!" She called from down the hall, still walking.
We had mostly the same classes, at lunch I had Katie sit with me and my friends. She sat at the edge of the table and kind of kept to herself. One of my friends, Jamie, took an interest in Katie, they talked to each other quite a bit and ignored the rest of the group.
After school we were hanging out in our room when Katie suddenly got up.
"Come on, I have something to show you." She said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Judging by what you're like, something that will get me put in a mental hospital. Come on, it'll be fun!"
"Uhhhhhh...I don't think I want to."
"Yes you do! Just trust me ok?" I said, then took her by the arm and dragged her out of the building. We went into town and up to the Factory.
"Now this is the Factory!" she said.
"What does it make?" I asked, she just kinda laughed. "Why are you laughing?"
"It isn't a factory, it's some old research facility!" She said
"But you just said-"
"Out of habit, and it's our 'the factory' even though it isn't an actual factory! Get it?"
"...No...No I don't."
"Well maybe if you payed attention. Wanna save the world with me?"
"What?"
"I said, do you want to save the world with me." she asked again.
"Um...sure?" I said, she looked at me seriously for a second.
"I'm not even kidding, the whole world is in danger, we can save it together though."
"By going green?" I asked sarcastically.
"No, by going digital." she said matter of factly. Then she ran into the building into an elevator. "You coming?"
"Uh sure...won't we get in trouble, though?"
"There'll be a lot more trouble for everyone if we don't do anything. Besides, I have my childhood heros to save."
"What?" the elevator doors closed and we went down.
"Remember how you said Code Lyoko was stupid?" The doors opened, like she'd timed it, we were in a metal plated room with a huge computer and hologram in the middle with lots of wires and stuff. "Well, here it is. Real life Supercomputer with Lyoko and Jeremie Belpois ready to virtualize us both. Now you can tell them they're stupid they're stupid to their faces.
"This...it's...what?"
"I don't know how it got there, but I've been to Lyoko. There was a boy last night, Jeremie, but he wasn't even in the same dimension as me!"
"...Ok but I still think you need a boyfriend."
"No I don't. Now do ya wanna come with me or not? We can save the world and have cool weapons and superpowers and fight monsters!" I could tell she was getting really excited.
"I better come with, just to make sure you don't do something stupid." I laughed and she just beamed. She sat down at a seat in front of the Supercomputer and talked into it.
"Alright Jer, she's on board. Start up the process!" She then dragged me into the elevator again and we went down to a room with big metal tubes, I remembered this part. You got in the tubes and got sent to the computer animated place. I stepped in the tube and heard a boy's voice from nowhere.
"Transfer Katie, transfer Ana. Scanner Katie, scanner Ana. Virtualization!" I felt a rushing and when I opened my eyes I fell in what looked like a non-detailed and only purple mountain.
"Why are the rocks purple?" I asked.
"Um...purple mountain majesty?"
I looked down at myself, I was dressed in all black, like a ninja.
"Hey look, I'm a ninja! And you, you're..." I looked at Katie, trying to figure out what she was supposed to be.
"I'm a Katie. There's no other word for it!"
"Alright, now we have your friend. Ana, this is Lyoko, we want your help to find my friends, the Lyoko warriors."
"Somebody using a black Tower captured them." Katie said, the she paused, looked at the ground, perplexed, and spoke again. "Jeremie, I see a path on the ground." I looked where she was looking but could find nothing. "It's golden and glowing."
"That may be your Lyoko ability. Where does it lead?"
"Who's that voice Katie?" I asked.
"It's Jeremie." She looked at me, surprised I would ask such a question. "It leads directly into the Digital Sea."
"I'll look into it..."
"Anyways, Jeremie, like I was saying before. I think there should be a few people from your world too. Get a sort of multidimensional thing going, ya know?"
"Who do you suggest?"
"Well William would be an obvious choice. He knows how to fight and he's already been scanned anyways. My second choice though...Hiroki. He's really resourceful, plus don't you think he'd like to know what actually happened to his sister?"
"Yeah...those sound ok...You want to come induct them tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"Would someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?" I exclaimed.
Over the next half hour or so Katie and Jeremie attempted to explain Xana, Lyoko, and everything that had happened up to that point to me. The only thing that really caught my attention was the symbol. The symbol. It was the same one. In my dream...Katie had been fighting Xana...and disappeared...
"Are you sure we should be doing this? It can't be safe." I said.
"It'll be fine, you'll see! We're gonna make an awesome team, you and I!" she hugged me...should I have told her about my dream? No, I'd just have her back, let her have fun with it, it was her dream, after all.
And thus, I went to sleep, goodnight , and thanks for the great time. Please review me lots of pillows and blankets?
