Can the Coldness Love?...Can Love Create a Soul?
“Ulrich, I’ve told you this five times this week alone, X.A.N.A.’s gone. My barrier is foolproof...our barrier is, I mean” replied Jeremie, placing an arm over Aelita, small smiles framed on both their faces. “I know...still”
“Ulrich” Jeremie stated, placing a hand on his friend’s shoulder to get his complete attention, “Listen to me...X.A.N.A. is no more or just as good, the wall can’t be broken from his side and we hold the only access to let him through, not to mention the only way to even get there via the Virtualization Systems. He’s stuck behind a firewall, floating ten feet of the edge of the Ice Zone in the one activated tower. Forget about him and think, you have Physics next period”
“What! Jeremie, can you sit next to m-woah, watch it!” replied Ulrich, unbalanced by a hurriedly passing figure not having bothered to have moved out of Ulrich’s way. “Who’s the new jerk?” asked Ulrich angrily, “That’s the new guy Captain Obvious” Odd interjected cheerfully, swinging down from the overhead tree to the ground in a short spin. “And what were you doing?” asked Ulrich warily, “Studying, for Physics, we got a test you know” he replied, ending with one of his big smiles. “Very funny Odd, you need that more than I do, but seriously, who is that?”
“It’s the new student, he’s in your Physics class Ulrich, didn’t you know that?” answered Umi, walking up to the group from outside the cafeteria door. “Of course I did, it’s just...that guy creeps me out” replied Ulrich, switching the subject, “Why? Just because he pushed past you in a hurry and forgot to say sorry?” said Odd, throwing an arm around Ulrich, “He came from America Milly told me, but Tamiya heard him speaking with a Russian accent. You can tell he’s totally into the Emo-Goth thing, I think his name is Zura-something? Something foreign”. “Wow, with a mix like that, it’s no wonder he’s depressed, one heck of an identity crisis” Jeremie said, pushing up his glasses.
It was 9 A.M. On a cold, windy night that Ulrich should be spending at home studying for the Physics test, she had mercifully pushed back because of the high number of kids absent from class. Yet, as logically and determinedly he though this, Ulrich continued to stare at the monitors of Lyoko waiting for anything. Sighing, he turned his head then turned it sharply back when he swore he saw some lettering on one screen, but no, there was nothing. Turning back to the elevator door, he wondered if he still had time to get some studying in before he fell asleep.
“So, you were at Lyoko again, last night, huh?” whispered Odd to Ulrich next to him as the teacher droned on about the importance of grades. “What do you mean?”
“No one gets out of bed at 9 at night without a reason...and I doubt your the ladies man like me.” Odd said with a grin. Ulrich leaned back, trying to forget how poorly he’d done on that Physics test, “I know every time I ask Jeremie what he’s going to say I’ve asked him enough, but...it’s like just this one side of me keeps creating these ‘what if’ situations till I’m back to worrying. I don’t know if I’ll ever stop thinking about it night and day”. Odd moved closer so his words could be quieter, “Man, X.A.N.A. is nothing but a pet know, you gotta let go of Lyoko and focus on your regular life, the war’s over, soldie-”
BBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
Odd was interrupted by a muted buzzing from Ulrich’s pants pocket, which he presses on from the outside, taking the phone out to see what it said. “Maybe it’s Sissi sharing her unrequited love for you” joked Odd, pointing towards the girl, who across the room was busy texting on her own phone. Ulrich made no reply however, his face had turned pale, “Ulrich, what’s the matter, you look like your parents just told you they know all about Lyoko...Ulrich?”. Without looking at Odd, Ulrich replied slowly, “Jeremie wants to meet us ASAP in the dorm...it’s about Lyoko”. Raising his hand to get the teacher’s attention, Ulrich said out loud, “Ms. Kim I, uh,...I feel really sick!”.
What...will happen next?
1.It will turn out to be nothing but chunks of corrupted data.
2.It will be a in-works plan of X.A.N.A. to free himself.
3.Something to do with the New kid.
4.A Taco has invaded with his evil anchovy henchman
