Athena

Chapter 3:Computer Bug

"Replicas? What do you mean?" Jeremy asked from the sky.

"Xana has created numerous Replicas of the sectors on Lyoko and they can only be accessed through the digital sea. He had me imprisoned in one of them." That's when something blasted me and Dawn went flying from my arms as I devirtualized.

Dawn's POV

Odd had been blasted by some sort of light and had been devirtualized.

"Odd!" I called after him, but he was already gone.

"What was that light?" Aelita asked as it zapped Yumi, causing her to devirtualize as well.

"That light is powerful whatever it is. We have to get Dawn to a waytower, there Jeremy can figure out the problem with her coding." Ulrich explained and signaled for Aelita to get on his over-bike. I jumped on to Odd's over-board and took off towards the nearest waytower.

"Dawn, you have to get inside the tower before Aelita and Ulrich get devirtualized, if you don't who knows what Xana will have in store for you." Jeremy called out and I sped up until I was right in front of the tower.

"Alright Jeremy, I'm heading inside now." I landed and jumped off the over-board and rushed into the tower. I walked to the center of the platform and them allowed my body to float in between the two platforms.

"Okay, I'm going to run the scan now." As the scanning was taking place I could hear the monsters of Xana attacking the tower.

As soon as Jeremy finished I could feel the coding in Sector 5 changing around.

"Jeremy did you figure out what's wrong?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, but the only problem is there's a barrier that's blocking it. It might take me a while and I know the tower you're in won't last much longer. You have to go to other sector and fast before the passage disappears.

"On it." I walked to the edge of the platform and jumped allowing myself to be taken to another sector. I landed on the platform in the new tower and rushed out into the desert sector.

"I'll program Odd's over-board for you again." Jeremy said and the over-bike appeared instead.

"Um Jeremy this is the over-bike."

"Sorry, there must be a bug in the system. I think the bug that's in you is making the supercomputer act up." I thought about that for a second.

"What if I went to sector 5 and tried to decode the data in my coding? Do you think it would work?" I asked.

"It's too dangerous with you there by yourself, Dawn." I frowned and then jumped on the over-bike.

"Jeremy, you need the data and you need it fast. I can do that for you. Just have the transporter ready by the time I get to the edge of the sector." Lasers started blasting the ground right behind me.

"Three hornets on your tail, Dawn." I sped up and started attempting to out run these annoying pets, but they were fast and clever.

"Jeremy, I can't keep this up, but I see the edge of the sector. You have to pull up the transporter now." I heard him typing and I jumped off the bike as the hornets fired at it. I focused on my wings releasing and flew the rest of the way into the transporter.

When I landed in sector 5 I could feel my stomach trying hard not to throw up.

"Never want to make that trip again. Now I understand how Odd feels every time he uses that stupid transporter." I rushed through the sector to the Celestial Dome. I swiped open the screen and started searching through Xana's memories for my hidden coding.

"I think I've found it Jeremy." I said as I started typing on the encoding. I knew the only thing I had to do now was transfer the data to a waytower and go reboot my coding. I sent the data and let my wings come out.

"Alright, now get to a waytower and reboot your coding." I nodded and flew up into the air. "The north passage is open." I started flying towards the opening when something hit me in the back and my wings vanished, sending me flying down towards the emptiness below.

"Jeremy, you have to devirtualize me now!" I called out and he started typing away quickly. I looked up to the platform I had come from and saw Xana standing there with his sword. He threw it directly at me and as it went through my chest. I devirtualized.

When the scanner opened and I stepped out, everyone looked worried.

My chest still ached but other than that everything felt alright.

"Don't worry aside from how I got devirtualized aching I don't feel at all sick or in pain." Odd smile and pulled me out of the scanner.

"That's great!" I sighed and looked away from them all.

Why would Xana save me? Even after everything I had said to him, he went to a waytower and fixed my bug. Why are you helping me Xana? And what is this mysterious light that devirtualized my friends but not me?
