Takes place after Season 4…
Yumi's POV:
"It's open." Alita called after I knocked on her door.
"Are you ok?" I asked as I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. "Things were getting pretty heated during lunch…"
"I'm fine." Alita said quickly. "Jeremy & I just have different opinions, that's all…"
"Yeh, no kidding." I said. "He has a point, though. What you're thinking of attempting is dangerous. I mean, the men in black kidnapped your mother, possibly even killed her. They forced you & your father into hiding…"
"I know." Alita said. "But what if they created XANA?" she asked as she sat down on her bed. "I know I need to move on with my life, that everything is over now…I just don't know if I can without knowing why this happened in the first place…"
"So you're still gonna do this?" I asked.
"Uh, well…"
"Your duffel bag is sticking out from under the bed." I pointed out.
"Oh." She pulled it out & sat it next to her. I came over & sat down, with the duffel bag between us.
"You know, if I was in your place…I'd probably do the same thing." I said. "I can't blame you for wanting to find out the truth. Do you at least have a plan?
She pulled something out of her bag. When she handed it to me, I saw that it was an ID card. The girl looked just like Alita, except for the long dark hair.
"How..?"
"A wig, plus some stuff you probably don't want to know about."
"So, you're gonna pretend to be this girl named Tessa Stones? What are you gonna do when you get in?"
"To start, I want to find out if my mother is still alive. I want to know what happened to her. After that, I want to see if they're the ones responsible for XANA. I want to know why Lyoko was created." she took a deep breath. "I want to know their secrets…& I'm sure several news outlets would be interested in them too."
"So you're gonna take them down from the inside?"
"That's the plan."
I smiled. "You've really thought this through…"
"I've been working on this for months. Now that's school's out, I can finally track down this lead."
"When are you leaving?" I asked.
"…Tonight." she said.
"Ok, I'll meet you outside the school." I said. Alita looked at me, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm coming with you."
Even though we still have one more chapter to go, I just want to thank you for putting up with me for so long! This project has taken a lot longer than I had originally thought it would…but we only have one more chapter to go!
