Code Lyoko Porn Story: The Origin System Chapter 17
Glow: I am sooooo sorry to all of you. I literally fell into a black hole on one of my space outs.
Verdana: Yeah, and we had to come fish her out. Not as easy as it sounds.
Glow: so as a reward for taking so long, you get the rest of the story. It ’tis complete. Please make a stop in at the bottom of the last chapter!
Chapter 17: Into Memory Part 2: Santino, Manuel, and Q
Santino watched his younger self follow the young Verdana up the mountainside. He remembered this trip vividly. He had been too scared at first to follow her into the cave she had discovered. When he had finally gone in, she had vanished. It was the crystal cave she had taken them to a couple months ago.
Figures shed discover something interesting without me, he moaned to himself. But he followed the little versions up the mountainside.
Come on, OSTA! Hurry up! she called. Exasperated by his slow pace, she backtracked and grabbed his hand. She pulled him up the mountain behind her. He scrambled along, trying to remain on his feet.
They reached the point of entry to the cave. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge virus showed up. It blocked their retreat down the mountain. To Santinos surprise, OSTA, little orange OSTA, stepped in front of a cowering Indevrigo. This is getting freaky. I would remember doing something as idiotic as that.
Flee, vile virus before I smite you with flaming disaster!
Right, squirt. Give it your best shot.
OSTA flared up and brought a gigantic flaming ball down onto the virus. It roared in pain and threw some mucky thing at the two little uns. OSTA burnt it away before it hit. Angrily, he blasted the virus away down the mountain where it flew off and fell far.
Indevrigo flung herself at him and kissed OSTA. My hero!
With absolute certainty, despite the rending feeling in his heart, he said, This cant be real. For one thing, I am not insane enough to attack a bigger virus. I grovel whenever possible. Secondly, I remember I was the one cowering in fear while Verdana fought and destroyed the virus. Thirdly, Im only her friend, not her boyfriend. A brilliant flash of light covered everything.
Manuel stood stock still. He was wary. Avoiding notice would be good. A virus walked past him without even looking over. Curious, he moved closer to the platform. It was then he noticed that viruses werent the only programs in attendance. There were representatives from all the other systems as well.
As they approached the platform, the bowed low, faces touching the dirt. What on earth? Manuel said out loud before he could stop himself. He could have reached out and touched The Shadow, but The Shadow didnt even blink when Manuel spoke. Then The Shadow stood up.
Welcome members of the new Empire! he declared. I see you have all received the law documents. Now to business. To ensure your complete compliance with anything I should say or do, I will be placing a virus in control of your system. They report directly to me and I will know if anyone attempts to overthrow them or delete them.
Mighty Emperor, would it not be better to let us remain in control of our systems?
Silence! You dare question me?! The Shadow blasted the poor program to bits. As if Id give you a chance to rebel against me. I know how much youd like to. He looked at all the bowing programs. What system was that fool from?
Serctus V, Oh Gloriously Dark One. The program that spoke stood, but kept its head down.
Are you also from that system?
The program looked as though it was regretting speaking up at all. Yes, Merciful Emperor.
Bring me thirty people. EROX, go with him to ensure he does not bring prisoners. The snake-bird-human virus grasped the program by the arm and shoved it over to a portal The Shadow had created. A short time later, the program was back with thirty programs. EROX watched impassively.
Now you will see why it is unwise to question me. The Shadow raised his hand and struck all thirty programs dead in one instant.
Manuel shivered. This is not me. I wouldnt be that heartless and cruel despite what people would think. And, he added, bemused, such exploits as mine are always doomed to fail. The world vanished into white light.
Q watched her younger self sitting in front of the desk. Mmmm, yes. Highly unusual. My dear, you have a unique talent. With a little proper training you could become the more powerful than me even. The Master watched her with his squinty old eyes. Come with me my child. Ill take you to your dorm. Im sure youll like your roommates.
Okay. Little Q followed the Master out.
Qs tongue hung from the corner of her mouth as her forehead creased with the effort of remembering. This whole situation seemed strange to her.
Yes. I shall take care of your teaching personally. You have immense potential to help the Network Alliance, he continued as they left the room.
Hmm. I distinctly remembering him calling me an evil little virus that would rain doom and destruction upon the whole Network Alliance. Of course, that might have had a little to do with the fact I bit him. Oh well. Q nibbled her lip as she followed them.
Heres your room my dear. Say hello to your new classmates! Behind the dorm door were smiling faces. The girls and little Q became instant friends it appeared. Q scratched her head. She was confused. It was almost like watching alternate memories of things she had wanted and never gotten. It didnt bother her that she had been shunned by the Master, who refused to ever talk to her and feared by the entire school for being different. -This is how life could have been- she thought. -This is how my life could have been.- She became enamored with the alternate life she saw.
