There were voices in her head. Aelita sighed and rolled over, trying to keep her eyes closed. They'd go away. They always faded off eventually. Even when she was Lyoko. They always came and went, like the wind.
Something thudded on the door to her room. Gasping, she sat up.
"C-come in...?"
The thud came again, and, frowning, Aelita got out of bed. Just as she reached for the knob to her door, the door burst open.
Two figures, wrapped tightly around each other, stumbled into the room,

"Um, Einstein? I don't think your scanner's working. Did you say we would be safe here when we came in?"
A note of apprehension turned Jeremie's voice up a pitch. "Yes-why?"
On Lyoko, Odd, Ulrich and Yumi traded nervous glances. "Because we're surrounded."
"Watch it!" Behind them, Aelita landed, fully virtualized, and ducked a laser from one of the blocks inching toward them.
"There's...how many?" Jeremie called, confusion and alarm evident in his voice. "They're starting to register, but it's taking..."
"Too many to count!" Ulrich shouted, racing forward to engage the monsters in battle.
"Jeremie?" Out of habit, Aelita looked nervou

It was like some horrid, terrible joke, a twisted, tainted parody.
Short hair, streaked with black and blood red, oozed past pointed ears torn like a feral cat's. The eyes, pupils wide and circled like the eye of XANA itself, were narrowed and blood shot. It smirked, black lips quirking over a nose just like Aelita's, in a face shaped exactly the same way.
"What the...the hell?" one of the boys cursed softly, but no one moved. The creature's smirk widened and moved forward. It's clothing- little of it that there was, further carried the terrible likeness to Aelita's own appearance. Black gloves, wrapped and fingerless, covered arms thin

Four teenagers staggered out of the scanners, hollow-eyed and gasping.
"There was no activated tower," Yumi muttered, helping Odd up as she forced herself to stand. "XANA wanted us there. But...then...how..."
"He deactivated it himself." Aelita looked up slowly over the heads of her friends, and into Jeremie's wide, terrified blue eyes. For a single moment, her heart flipped at the sight of him, safe and sound. Concern, but unhurt.
Then guilt overcame her, and she forced her eyes away from his. "It was all a ploy."
"So Magenta can only come out when the tower's activated?" Ulrich asked, leaning against Yumi's shoulder. Jeremie nodded.

"Scanner, Aelita, Transfer. Virtualization."
Jeremie stared, anxiously waiting to see if she went through all right. With everything else that had happened, what if-
"Jeremie? I'm here."
Relief went into a sigh, and Jeremie leaned back in his chair a little. "Good. Now, Aelita, you said something has been missing off and on for weeks, and now it's gone. What exactly are you looking for?"
In the frigid air for the Polar Region, Aelita turned slowly and shook her head. "Listening."
"Pardon?"
She smiled slightly, despite the fact that her heart was still pounding in her chest against the fear of being ambushed. "It's a feeling, really. And

Silence stretched inside her head, but still she couldn't make noise. Drowning in numb quiet, it was so hard to breathe, so hard to-
"Aelita?"
Jumping, Aelita looked around widely, and into the faces of Odd, Ulrich and Jeremie, all who were standing over her desk. Blinking up at them, it felt as if she had to pull her mind out of quick sand. "Uh...yes?"
Odd raised an eyebrow. "Yes? You mean you'll do it?"
"I don't think she heard you, you dork," Ulrich muttered, shaking his head.
"Are you okay, Aelita?" Jeremie leaned closer than the others, locking gazes with her. His eyes narrowed slightly before she could look away.
Great. Just gr
