*Ben, Jen, and I are talking about the stories in production in the studio.*
Ben: So what you're saying is that this Organization XIII is after Sofia's amulet and after a battle in Lyoko, two of its members kidnap Aelita and take her to Bellwood?
Me: That's right.
Jen: Sounds like a good story if you came up with it.
Me: Thank you, Jen.
Mason: *walks in* Hey there, Archer.
Me: Mason! It's great to see you again.
Jen: Is he one of your friends?
Me: Yeah. You two and Rook are going to join his group.
Ben: Are you serious?
Me: That's right.
Ben and Jen: Awesome!
Me: I'm glad that you're excited for this chapter, which is what you readers are about to enjoy.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 12: Aelita Kidnapped
In a desert area 10 miles south of the town of Bellwood, a corridor of darkness opens in the area and out came two people, one being Zexion, the other a man about 2 feet taller than Zexion with gold eyes, the right one covered by an eye patch, pointed ears, upturned eyebrows, and dark hair with gray streaks tied in a long ponytail. The black cloak he wears is similar to Zexion's, only the shoulders are sagging and more pointed.
"Xigbar, if my calculations are correct, that town is where the Medallion landed." Zexion reported pointing to the town in question.
"Oh, come on, Zexion, no need to remind me where that Medallion landed." Xigbar replied.
"Right, just don't get cocky." Zexion added. Then, another corridor of darkness opened behind them and out of it came Saïx and Marluxia, the latter of the two carrying Aelita over his shoulder.
"What are you two doing here and who is that?" Xigbar asked unamused.
"To answer your questions in that order, Master Xemnas requested our presence in Castle Oblivion." Saïx answered.
"And this girl here is our prisoner." Marluxia added as he dropped Aelita onto the ground. She looks up to see the four standing above her.
"What are you going to do with me?" Aelita asked with fear. Zexion only laughed at that question.
"Do not worry. We won't harm you." Zexion answered as he picked Aelita up and carried her over his shoulder. Zexion and Xigbar left the area with Aelita in tow as Saïx and Marluxia exited through the corridor they entered in.
On Lyoko, the heroes are struck with grief and anger after witnessing Aelita's kidnapping at the hands of Saïx and Marluxia. Ulrich is kneeling on the icy ground while Yumi and Odd try to calm him down. The Core 4, Sugar Rush racers, and young royals bow their heads in disappointment. Scarlet, Sora, and Mason are staring at the tower where Saïx and Marluxia disappeared with Aelita. After a dead silence that went on for what seemed like days, Mason spoke.
"They've gone too far." Mason said in anger. The others turn to look at him.
"What are you saying, soldier?" Calhoun asked.
"I'm saying that it's bad enough that the Organization is keeping us from the Medallions, but kidnapping Aelita, that is all kinds of low, even for them." Mason explained.
"You got that right." Ralph replied.
"What just happened down there?" Jeremy asked.
"Remember those people in black you heard? They escaped, and they took Aelita." Sora answered.
"They did what?!" Jeremy shouted.
"That blue-haired guy Saïx conjured a fog from the blizzard and during the distraction, they kidnapped Aelita and left." Odd replied.
"You need to go and get her back, now!" Jeremy ordered.
"But how are we going to find her?" Felix asked.
"Not to worry." Scarlet spoke up. "During the fight, I planted a tracking device onto Aelita."
"Thanks for the update, Scarlet, but the Organization is powerful. We need some extra firepower if we're to take them down." Sora replied.
"And I'm just who you need." A voice spoke up from behind the heroes. They turn around to see a boy with tan skin and brown hair wearing a black t-shirt that reads "sweet spice" with a cinnamon bun on it, dark blue jeans, and a cinnamon bun hat. All of the racers are surprised to see him, especially Crumbelina, who was blushing when she saw him.
"Ron!" Crumbelina called out as she ran to him and hugged him tighter than a snake catching its prey.
"Who's that?" Mason asked in confusion.
"Ron Cinnadon. He's a new character that came with an update to our game." Vanellope answered.
"Hold on. If he's a character, then why wasn't he racing with you at the Random Roster Race?" Sora asked.
"I invited him, but he turned it down. Long story short, he used to be a glitch, like I was until I became President and built him a code box and his own kart." Vanellope replied.
"Crumbelina, you can let go now." Ron demanded as he struggled for breath.
"Oh, sorry." Crumbelina apologized as she let go of Ron, blushing.
"I take it that these are friends of yours?" Ron asked.
"We are. My name's Mason. This is Sora, Scarlet, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Sofia, Amber, James, Hildegard, Clio, Zandar, Vivian, Maya, Khalid, Jun, and Jin." Mason introduced.
"How were you able to find us?" Sofia asked.
"Well, during my mid-morning walk, I saw you guys fighting some type of Cy-Bug/Heartless hybrid. When you defeated it, I tried to get your attention, but you left before I had the chance." Ron explained.
"You were watching us?" Mason asked.
"It was an accident. Anyway, as to why I found you, I snuck into your ship's cargo bay before you took off, but then you crashed here. I waited inside until you left the scene. When the coast was clear, I got out and saw those three as well as a girl with pink hair help you fight some mechanical crabs. I was about to call out to you when Turbo showed up." Ron continued. "I hid behind a glacier to keep Turbo from seeing me. Then, these two people in black showed up and there was this unexpected blizzard. I was about to jump in to help you, but that blue-haired guy created a fog, and when it lifted, Turbo, the guys in black, and the pink-haired girl were gone."
"And you were behind that glacier until now?" James asked. Ron calmly nodded.
"Uh, I hate being a wet blanket in this, but Aelita is in trouble." Jeremy interrupted.
"Thanks for reminding us." Sora replied sarcastically. "Scarlet, the tracker you planted on Aelita, where do you think she is?"
"The tracker I planted can not only locate anyone in the multiverse, it can intercept any form of communication within a 20 kilometer radius." Scarlet answered. "They have taken her to a town called Bellwood."
"Then let's go! Ron, now that you're here, you can come with us." Sora said.
"You can count on me, Sora." Ron said proudly. The heroes, plus Ron, ran back to where the ship crash landed. Felix then pulled out his golden hammer and used it to repair all of the damage done to the ship. Mason was surprised by this.
"I guess they call him "Fix-it Felix" for a reason, huh?" Mason asked.
"Yeah. Whatever I break, he fixes." Ralph replied as Felix finished repairing the damage.
"All done." Felix reported.
"Thanks, Felix. Now to get the next Medallion and rescue Aelita!" Mason shouted as he enters the ship. The other heroes follow suit and the ship rises into the air.
"Tell Aelita I said hi!" Jeremy called out as the Keyhole opened in the navy blue sky and the ship travels through.

Me: Hey there, Rancis. You're just in time. I just finished the new chapter.
Rancis: Looks awesome, especially about where Ron appears.
Me: Thanks. My good friend Smoke gave me permission to use him.
Vanellope: Cool. You should thank him.
Me: That's what I'm about to do. You readers please review. Smoke, thank you for giving me permission to use Ron in my story. You are a big help. Peace!
