Chapter
16: Into Memory Part 1: Odd and Verdana

Odd
followed the usual path to the factory. Only he had to walk as his
skateboard was currently being used by his other self. When he
reached the elevator finally, he just slid down the cables and into
the first room. He had no choice but to listen to everything through
Jeremys headset.

This
sucks, he muttered, not sure if Jeremy could hear him or not.
Ill bet theres a cool fight going on and I cant see it.

Okay,
Odd look out. Three blocks and a crab approaching. Its not easy,
but Im sure you can handle this while the others get Aelita to the
tower. After all, you are the best warrior.

I
totally got this covered, Jeremy.

Odd
watched open-mouthed as the four red triangles disappeared in a
matter of seconds.

Way to
go Odd! Watch yourself, megatank approaching. No, make that two
megatanks.

Dont
worry. Megatanks are as easy as eating pie.

This
seems oddly familiar. Yet not quite. I dont recall ever taking
on two megatanks like that, Odd grumbled.

Brilliant
Odd! Aelitas almost at the tower. You really are the best of
us.

Nothing
to it, Jeremy. Megatanks are old news. Youd think XANA would
have something better to throw at me. In fact, Id love to face
that guy. I bet I could kick major butt.

-Thats
my voice, but it doesnt sound like me. I dont remember any of
this! Whats going on around here?!- Odds thoughts sounded
panicky. He started to back away from Jeremy and the computer.

Return
to the past, NOW! Jeremy cried pressing the button.

Odd
cringed, closing his eyes. He eased them open. He was sitting
surrounded by his friends, regaling them with the details of his
latest battle. I said, hello your holeynesses. Come to die
today? to that stupid megatank and its partner. Holey, like with
all the holes formed by the stretched membranes in them.

Good
one, Odd, said Ulrich, laughing genuinely.

Whats
this? Not not another lame joke, Odd accompanied by groaning?
That was dumb even by my standards. Odd found himself talking to
himself again, as everyone seemed to be ignoring him.

Congrats
on the A on that test! Even I only managed to get a B, Jeremy
told Odd, smiling.

You
want to play soccer Odd? You know youre the best, Ulrich
asked.

What
is this?! Odds ego trip or something? Gah, I just dont
get it. Odd shook his head.

No
thanks, man. Im meeting Emily out front of the dorms in a little
while. Its so hard to find quality time with my girlfriend with
all the annoying, lovestruck girls hanging around. Especially Sisi.
Honestly.

Hold
on a minute. Pause. This is totally not me. For one thing, I know
Im not the best, brightest, or the funniest guy in the world. And
I have never had girls falling left and right for me. Especially NOT
Sisi. My girlfriend is not Emily, it is Verdana, wherever she is.
Odd counted off the things wrong with the picture on his fingers. A
flash of light engulfed him.

Verdana
followed her younger self into the house she had lived in.

Indi!
Come in the living room! Papis got something to show his little
treasure!

The
little girl went running into living room. What is it, Papi?!

We
moved your bedroom into the bigger room. The one we were just using
for storage. We thought you should have it since your getting so
big!

Yay!!!
Big room, here I come!

No sooner
had the little girl disappeared down the hallway, when a woman called
from the kitchen. Indi, dinner time!

Mother?
Verdana asked, staring at the doorway. Sure enough, her mother came
to the door.

Indi,
Im not going to ask you again. Dinner time.

Coming
Mother! The little Indevrigo skipped past Verdana and into the
kitchen. Curious, Verdana followed.

There
are only three chairs at the table. And only three place settings.
What about Manuels? she questioned the space around her, since
her family and younger self seemed oblivious to her presence.

Has
your father sent us anything? Verdanas father asked.

Not
since his last letter saying that he was working on a way to get us
out, replied her mother with a sigh. Although every time he
sends a letter, he asks after his only grandchild. I think hes
regretting his decision to let us into this world first. How was
your day, honey?

Little
Indevrigo was shoveling food into her mouth and munching it very
loudly.

Indi,
eat a little quieter please. My day was fine. Better than usual. I
caught that virus Id been tracking for about three weeks.

Oh
really! Thats good news!

The
bad news is that there are still hundreds of them to get rid of.

Thats
too bad dear. Well, we must persevere. Id go with you, but who
knows what kind of trouble our only child would get into.

Verdana
was growing increasingly confused. Have I just stepped into a
parallel universe or something? What happened to Manuel?!

Thats
true, darling. Our little adventurer might hurt herself.

I
wont get hurt, Papi, piped Indevrigo. Im smarth- smark-
smarter than that.

Yes,
you are, youre the most brilliant daughter anyone could ask for.

Indi
why dont you help me with the deserts?

No,
no. This is all wrong! It hurt her to remember, but this was not
the family she knew.

Flashback

Indi,
Manuel! Get inside right now!

Yes,
Papi, the two of them chorused and raced inside.

Woman,
whens dinner?

As
soon as Im done making it, when else do you think?

Boy,
I want your junk out of that big room. Thats MY storage room. If
it doesnt fit in yours and Indis room, then get rid of it.
The little Indevrigo had her head buried in her older brothers
side.

Stop
yelling, Papi! Cant you see its upsetting Indi?!

Ill
yell when and at whom I want! Stop crying girl!

Indervrigo
rushed off to her room, followed closely by Manuel, who was scowling.

You
want dinner? their mother was calling, Dinner is ready and will
only be served to those at the table in the next five seconds. Move
it! Their mother was harsh and demanding, trying to make them
stronger the way she had learned in the military. The two children
ran to the table and barely made it in the time limit. They would be
having dinner tonight.

Your
idiot scientist father figured out a way to get us out of this dump
yet?

What
do you think? If I knew, Id have told you!

Figures
hed leave me his mess to clean up here. If he hadnt built it
wrong in the first place, I wouldnt have to waste my time getting
rid of his problems.

Dont
you dare insult my father, bastard!

Indi
and Manuel were eating as silently as possible, trying to avoid their
parents. It was worse for Manuel she knew because he had known them
before they had entered the virtual vacation spot their
grandfather had created. They had been a nice loving family then.
But getting stuck had made their father bitter and their mother
demanding. The two kids were sliding low in their chairs in their
attempts to avoid notice.

Unfortunately,
their mother didnt miss much. Children! Sit up at meal times!
Do not act like you have no spine!

Maybe
theyll get hurt and we wont have to put up with them anymore!

Not
me, Papi! Im too smarth- smark- smart to get hurt.

Smart!
Ha! Dont make me laugh. You cant even say the word.

Thats
it! Im not going to let you treat her like that anymore!
Manuel had stood up and slammed his hands down on the table.

Boy,
you will not talk to us that way! I just killed a virus today and
dont think I wont kill you too!

End
Flashback

Looking
back, its no wonder Manuel killed our parents and turned viral,
she said wryly. I am not an only child. I have a brother who
watches out for me. I was also not exactly loved by my family.
Light flashed all about her and the loving family scene disappeared.
