Chapter 4: The Anti-Virus Academy
Odd could not believe his eyes. He was in a huge antechamber that was made entirely of gigantic columns. It looked as though it was designed to impress and display the wealth of the academy.
Verdana nudged him with her elbow and jerked her head slightly in the direction of a large staircase. He looked and saw a large crest engraved on the wall where the stairway split off in two directions. “Showy aren’t they?” Odd whispered back. She responded with a smile. On impulse, Odd decided to imitate the way the V.O.O.L. was strutting around. He was bobbing his head and swinging his shoulders so that he looked like rooster.
Odd started to walk exactly the same way and was rewarded with laughs and giggles from everyone. Verdana did her impression of the way L.A.T.I.A. was walking. She was swaggering, arms held to her sides, palms facing the ground. She was turning her hips and shoulders with every step. Verdana’s imitation of this brought another wave of laughter and giggles.
Down both stairways came a bunch of people, ranging in all ages. The eldest were in the front; they were the instructors. Behind them came the smallest students and so on up. The teachers all converged at the platform where the two staircases met. In the very front was an ancient old man whose long white beard cave him a very Chinese look. L.A.T.I.A. walked up to the man and kneeled with one knee, her left hand around the fist her right made held out in front of her. Then as she bowed her head, she brought her hands to rest upon her knee.
“Master. I present the newest students to our fine establishment. May they bring great success and honor to you and the Academy.”
V.O.O.L. stepped forward and held out the scroll. “We bring the mighty warriors of the system Lyoko who have acknowledged they are in need of more training to reach their complete potential. I present Odd CatDemon,” he said and kicked Odd forward. “Ulrich NinjaSamurai, Yumi GeishaWarrior, Princess Aelita WaveWielder, and Jeremy KnightCommander.” They all exchanged looks. They were wondering where they had gotten their “last names”.
The five of them ascended up the first stairway. When they got there, the old man reached out and took Aelita’s hand. Jeremy took a step forward and reached for something on his belt. “At ease young KnightCommander. I will not harm your lady. My dear, it is a pleasure to have your royal highness at our most humble academy. I hope that you will enjoy your stay.” He let go of her hand and gestured to where they could stand.
“May I present the crowned Prince of Moflyt, Jordanake.” Jordan looked confusedly over at Verdana and she nodded. With a sigh, he mounted the staircase to where the old man waited. “My son, it is with great pleasure that I also welcome you. Your support of our fine school will be most appreciated. Tell me, how is your family?”
Jordan turned red. “Well…I…umm…haven’t seen them in a while. I went on a trip with my friends.” With a wise nod, the man pointed to where the others stood. Jordan walked over and joined his friends.
“I also present to you Master the great cleanser of Drongar, Verdana ShadowSlayer who seeks your most valued instruction.” Verdana and Manuel exchanged looks. She had not killed her brother ever, but in a way, the name could be considered true. She had slain the part of him that was The Shadow. At least, she hoped. She stepped up to the old man.
“My dear, we, the Network Alliance (all the interconnected systems), are most indebted to you for ridding us of that vile Shadow and freeing the world of Drongar.” After he was done, she joined her friends off to the side.
“I present Vivian WindRider, the only being to ever have wings to soar the virtual currents with.” Viv walked up, shook the old man’s hand. Then, without waiting to hear what he had to say, stood next to Jordan. The man looked positively livid for a moment, but then resumed his calm demeanor.
“I present OSTA, virus of Drongar and-” V.O.O.L. began but could not find a name for Manuel.
Manuel stepped in front of him. “I present Santino FlameRunner and myself, Manuel ShadowShroud, brother of Verdana. I am the one who was once The Shadow.” he said in a clear, steady voice that echoed around the chamber, inventing Santino’s last name on the fly. A buzz of question came for the first time from the students. The Instructors silenced them quickly.
Head held high, Manuel walked up the steps. All eyes were on him, but he ignored the stares. He stood next to Verdana and without moving his head, glanced down at her with a slight smile.
Santino recovered and cast his disarmingly charming smile around the room. He stopped and made a sarcastic bow to the Master before joining all his companions. The instructors all crowded in to make a circle, discussing something. Santino was observing the students who had taken the opportunity to converse among themselves about what was going on.
“They’re deciding what to do with you. This has never happened before.” came a voice behind him. Leaning over the rail of the staircase closest to them was a girl about his age. Everyone seemed to give her a slightly wider area to stand in and she was certainly not where she should be according to age. “I’m Melaine, otherwise known as Q.”
“I’m Santino, formerly the virus OSTA. You can call me Tino like my friends do.” He noticed that her shoulder length hair was hanging around her face, not seeming to be glued into place like everyone else’s. It explained why they thought she was strange. Curiosity got the better of him, so he asked, “Why do they call you Q if your name is Melaine?”
Q laughed. She had the most natural skin tone, aside from the gang. It was slightly darker than milk-chocolate and her hair was like black silk that flowed about her shoulders. If she had been human she would have been a Japanese-African, inheriting the Japanese hair and African skin color. “That was all I could say when I ended up here besides my name. I wandered up to their doorstep effectively. You’ve made quite an impression on them.”
Santino nodded and rolled his eyes. “That’s Manuel for ya. Always with the theatrics.” This gained him another laugh. Just then, the buzz of voices dissipated as the teachers spread back out again.
“It is decided that we will go ahead and train you, – -viral scum that you are- -, at our fine establishment for the sake of your friends.” The Master said, thinking some very unkind things about Manuel and Santino, some of which have been used to demonstrate his train of thought which will become important later, I promise. Then he turned to Jordan. “I would beg you to consider your friends more carefully in the future, your highness and you should advise your engaged to do the same. – -Theyll stab you in the back and destroy your system- -” the old man said. (and thought)
The whole gang started. They must have assumed that Aelita and Jordan were engaged to create and alliance between the two systems. “I think you’re mistaken. I’m not engaged to Aelita. I have a girlfriend.” Jordan said putting his arm around Viv, who looked furious and ready to tear into the old man. “Aelita’s with Jeremy.”
Jeremy had been holding down his left arm, in an effort to stop himself from using the crystal to disintegrate the Master. “But that is impossible!” the Master spat out. “For her to be attached to an underling is sacrilege! If not to you, then to whom is she engaged?”
“She is engaged to no one.” Jordan replied, staring right into the man’s eyes. – -Are you friken serious?! Come on, we’re barely highschoolers.- –
“Impossible! By now her parents should have arranged an alliance through marriage with one of the other systems.”
Aelita stepped forward. She spoke in a quiet, yet deadly voice that her friends recognized as a sign she was almost over the edge. “I don’t have any parents. My friends are my family. And if you have nothing else to say, I suggest you shut up.”
Her words echoed in the deathly silent room. The old man was taken aback as his companions were as well. He shook his head as if to clear it. “Ahhh…Your assignments. CatDemon and ShadowSlayer you are to be assigned to Form 3B, headed by S.A.L. NinjaSamurai and GeishaWarrior you are going to Form 3A, headed by K.A.J.I. Prince Jordanake and Princess Aelita you are going in Special Form, headed by myself. KnightCommander and WindRider will go into Sub-Special Form, headed by D.O.V.A. FlameRunner and ShadowShroud due to the nature of your being, you will shift throughout the week through all of the forms except for Special and Sub-Special. With that said, I suggest you meet your Form leaders and proceed to your dormitory along with the rest of the students.”
They dispersed to their various groups that were assembling. Santino felt left out, but was comforted when he saw Q coming over. “You guys are with me. Each of the form leaders teaches different things, so we get the all around training. It’s a lot better. We’re oddballs, so we get special treatment. Come on, I’ll show you can sleep.” She grabbed his hand and led him away. Looking bored, Manuel followed them.
Verdana and Odd made their way to S.A.L. He looked almost human except for his strange huge glowing bronze eyes. When they got closer they realized he also had an extra pair of arms. “Yeh two come with me.” he said in a gruff, growling voice. “Yeh are to hand over any weapons yeh may have and download the uniform.” At the look on Verdana’s face, he added, “I’m sorry lassie. I wish I didna have to.” he spoke with a slight Scottish accent.
“What if our weapons are part of us?” Odd asked, wondering if they were going to cut his tail and/or his arm off.
“Do na make me laugh laddie.” he said, laughing a rich laugh full of warmth. “Tha’d be unnatural tha would be.”
Odd joined in, heartily grateful he wouldn’t have to lose his tail or arm; he’d gotten quite attached to them. “Why’d they split us up anyway?” he ventured.
“If all yeh go into different Forms, yeh all learn different things to bring back inta yeh whole group and improve it. Yeh’d have experts at all different types of combat and they’ll strengthen the whole team.”
“Oh that makes sense.” Odd said, remembering what Verdana had said to V.O.O.L., and S.A.L. laughed again.
“I like yeh two. Yeh make me laugh. We’re gonta have a fun time.”
“What type of combat do you teach?” Verdana asked.
“I teach Assasins.” For the first time, they noticed he didn’t make a sound when he walked.
Ulrich and Yumi were waiting for their instructor K.A.J.I. They saw him approaching, an insectoid with six arms and a wide array of weapons adorning his belt. “I’m the demolition expert here. You’re going to be learning from me about this very fine art. And how to get around the regulations on proper times to use the skill.” he said, winking at them. There were only three other students in the group. There was a yellow and purple girl with tentacles instead of fingers. Her purple hair stuck out electrically, coupled with her bright yellow skin. There were two boys, one with three-inch spikes for hair the color of bright blue. His lime green skin shone out, making him seem like a froggish person. The other boy had white hair and was blacker than black could be. Yumi and Ulrich looked at each other. This might actually be a fun class.
Jeremy and Viv did not look happy in the slightest. The group they were in taught how to best protect your overlord or mistress. At least their unit director was relatively nice. D.O.V.A. surprisingly did not suffer under the delusion that princes and princesses were automatically engaged when they were together. In fact, she pitied them for having to endure the rather old fashioned ideas of the Master.
“I was once a royal too. Believe me, I understand more than anything what you’re going through. I didn’t even know or like the guy he thought I was engaged to. Big mess that was. And it’s not only ‘how to protect your charges’ it more of a little of everything. And I’ll even teach you some illegal techniques and ways to defeat any opponents that will use the real things I’m supposed to teach you. And I’m only going to teach those special things to you. And maybe I can help you get out of here.”
“Why can’t you leave?” Viv asked.
“I need to help as many students like you that I can. And I can’t. I signed a contract.”
Jeremy perked up at hearing that they would be learning special things. He resolved to work with his friends in the vandalism of this hated academy. Maybe they could get expelled.
Aelita and Jordan abhorred the idea of learning from the Master. They were beginning to loath him. Apparently only important and highly talented people were allowed in this Form. That just made them more frustrated with this whole deal.
Aelita had had it with being called “princess”. It was really getting on her nerves. Jordan too was not enjoying the title he had. He just wanted to be ordinary Jordan again, student at Kadic and normal kid, despite his secret life as a warrior of Lyoko. He hated to stick out more than he did with his normal eccentricities, so he hated being called Prince of somewhere he couldn’t even remember. He knew he’d have to go there some time, but he was in no hurry. He was in even less hurry when the Master, leading them to their “special dormitory”, revealed he knew Jordan’s parents. – -How am I going to endure this new hell?- – was the thought that ran through everyone’s minds at that moment.
