Code Lyoko Porn Story: The Origin System – Chapter 3
I apologize that it took so long. What can I say, I’m lazy and busy.
Verdana: -crossly- Well, if you hadn’t abandoned us in that godforsaken desert…
Glow: Let’s not mention that.
Viv: You still shouldn’t have abanodoned us to work on those other stories…
Jordan: You don’t like us anymore..
Glow: No! No, I love you guys…I’ve just hit writers block…
Verdana: Perhaps this will help you out of it! -chases Glow, swinging a baseball bat-
Glow: -runs screaming off into the distance-
Odd: Wow. For once it isn’t me!
Chapter 3: Voyage Into the Unknown
There was an awkward silence. Santino cleared his throat and glanced pleadingly at Jordan, who stonily shook his head. “I, um, heh, I haven’t been telling you the truth Verdana. I lied about how far Kadic is from the apartment. I wanted you to ride with me. I didn’t want Odd to, well, you know, become your boyfriend.”
Verdana closed her slightly open mouth and shook her head. Odd looked shocked and hunched his shoulders, embarrassed. – -How could I not see it? It was painfully obvious.- – he thought, red tinge creeping onto his cheeks.
Santino, seeing the strange mixture of anger, sadness, and exasperation on Verdana’s face, decided to speak again. “I’m your oldest and best friend, shouldn’t you choose me over some guy you just met?”
“You are my oldest and best friend. That doesn’t mean I want to go out with you. I just want you to be my friend.” Verdana’s gaze flickered to Odd then back to Santino. “You are the reason for all of this, and you are going to do whatever you can to fix it. I think you should be the personal slave to me an’ Odd.” She turned to Odd. “I’m sorry I got mad at you. I didn’t understand what was in front of my eyes. Can you forgive me?”
Odd stared at her for a moment. “I was going to apologize to you when we first got to you apartment. When I had to walk, I thought I’d never forgive you, or apologize for something that was true.” He composed himself and sought the best words to express his thoughts. Everyone held their breath. “But I can see that I was blind not to have noticed what was going on. Me and my think headedness.” He rapped his skull, and was rewarded a hollow sound. Everyone just had to laugh.
Noticing what time it was, they headed back to the school building. Aelita was supporting Jeremy, who had twisted his ankle when he was tackled. Yumi and Ulrich trailed after, holding hands. They were followed by Jordan and Viv, who was talking very animatedly. Santino trailed after, hunched over, hands stuffed in his pockets, feeling surly.
Verdana smiled at Odd. “I’m glad you forgive me. It tore me up inside to be angry at you.” Then she grabbed his hand and kissed him. They walked after the others, hand in hand, Odd with a dreamy smile on his face.
That evening, everyone was excited. Due to the disappearance of the “board of directors”, no one had to do summer classes anymore. So, tomorrow was the day of embarkation on their big adventure. They were finally going to the Origin System, Verdana being the only one who had ever been there. She said it was indescribable and the knowledge that existed there was amazing. Unfortunately, there was a specific path of systems you had to take to get in. It was kinda like a combination lock. It was a spiral pattern that started in the outer systems that weren’t connected to the main. Then, progressively, you worked your way to the central systems. The Origin System was in the center of the galaxy of systems. (A galaxy is the best way to describe it)
Only Manuel sat alone at his computer, listening to the excited chatter from the net room. He read something on the screen, then typed out a response. He closed the window, then returned to typing something else. Satisfied with what he had added, he closed the window and shut down the computer. He stuck his head into the other room and said, “Night all. I’m gonna turn in. You can stay up as late as you want, play the Xbox, Xbox 360- equiped with Xbox Live Gold Membership, Gamecube, PS2, or any of the gameboys and PSP’s we have. You can even watch movies. I don’t care.”
“Whose up for Halo 2?” Verdana waved the special collector’s case in the air.
“Alright!” Odd shouted happily. He, Verdana, Jordan, and Santino played.
“Can I play Kingdom Hearts 2?” Viv asked. Verdana nodded and pointed to a portable DVD player she could hook up to.
Ulrich and Yumi located the PSP’s. They rifled through the various games and movies, before deciding. Yumi grabbed the first Naruto movie and Ulrich grabbed the Spiderman 2 game. (A/N I do not own the titles of any of these things, so no sue Oo Me no own none of this. Sadly, cuz I really am a hardcore gamer, especially with the Halo games, except I have to play them at mi amiga’s casa, cause I don’t have and Xbox -tear tear, sob sob-)
Surprisingly, it was Jordan that dominated, rather than Verdana. Santino could show no open hostility to Odd, so he contented himself with constantly shooting his character. After several hours of playing, they noticed the sun had come up.
“No way. We played all night? Sweet! And I don’t feel even the least bit..tir..red.” Odd yawned.
Verdana went into the kitchen and produced nine cups of iced coffee and one mug of hot coffee for her brother, who stepped out of his room, looking like he hadn’t slept very well. “Today is the day we embark on a fantastic adventure. We will risk life and limb to reach the source of all knowledge.” Verdana said, waving her cup around.
Everyone was silent. “‘Life and limb’? I hope you don’t mean that literally.” Odd said.
Verdana looked extremely serious. “I’ve never been more serious in my life.” Then she burst out laughing. “Did you think I’d let you come if it was going to be that bad? I wanted to see how you’d react.”
“You really had us going, you devious person, you.” Jordan said in mock chastisement. Odd felt a squirming in his stomach.
– -Calm down! You’ve known Jordan for a while. He’s got a girlfriend, so there’s no need to get protective. He’s just acting like a really good friend.- – “Maybe too good.” he muttered darkly.
“Did you say something Odd?” Viv asked, picking up on his muttering, just as quick as ever to defend her boyfriend.
“Me? No. What is there to say?” Odd retorted lightly, wondering when he had become so protective and jealous.
“Let us proceed to Lyoko. The first destination of our journey.” Verdana said, draining the last from her cup and spinning around on the ball of her foot. The others got up off their various spots on the floor and couch and stretched.
They left the apartment and then realized that they had forgotten something very important. They had climb all the way back up the flight of stairs and go through the contents of Manuel’s pockets to find the key again (He had insisted on locking the door when they left.). Which they could not find among the junk that he had. So Viv climbed in through the window, only to find that the important item (namely Verdana’s remote) was not in the apartment. She climbed back out and told the others who found it stashed with the key in one of Manuel’s various pockets.
So eventually they made it to Lyoko. They agreed to group in the desert region (it made seeing any enemies easier. Verdana’s suggestion. She still didn’t trust that X.A.N.A. was gone for good this time). Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, and Viv were the first in. They began to check their weapons and practice. Next came Aelita, Jordan, Santino and Manuel. Santino came out his orange color, but changed into his anime boy look almost instantly. And lastly, Jeremy and Verdana. Jeremy landed a bit unstably, seeing as he had never actually been virtualized.
Odd stopped to look at them, Verdana looked different, somehow. She was still dressed the sleeveless, dark purple short dress and belt, with beige pants and soft leather boots that were deep purple. It wasn’t the fabulous array of weapons adorning her belt. Then, with a jolt, Odd realized that it was her hairstyle. Normally it was up in a bun, but this time it was divided down the middle, with two identical braids hanging down her back.
As Odd was making this amazing deduction sarcasm, incase you couldn’t tell), Aelita was studying Jeremy’s form. He was wearing a suit made of what appeared to be black chain mail. Over his shoulders, elbows, and knees, were hard plates of the same type of metal. He wore boots with spikes the suck out from the heel and was wearing a helmet with a black reflective visor that covered his whole face. He pressed a button on his watch, which had now grown longer and encompassed many little technological things, and the visor went up. The helmet also compressed and became a sort of collar (Think about a convertible top). He still had blond hair and glasses and didn’t look any different than normal. Strangely, the black to not make him look a pasty white, but in fact, it brought out his color better.
“Hey Viv, I’ve got an upgrade for you. Poison talons.” Verdana pressed a button on the remote and Viv’s nails turned black. A short while later, after everyone had warmed up, they gathered around Verdana. She prepared to make a portal to the first world they were to go to. Suddenly, a loud humming noise filled the air. To their right, a portal began to slowly open.
They immediately took fighting stance and readied themselves for attack. The portal yielded two human shaped figures. One had skin that looked almost normal, except it was slightly pinker than it should have been. She had bright fuchsia hair that fell to about her waist in clumps that never seemed to move. The other was an almost transparent ghostly white color and had pale green hair that lay in clumps. It seemed as though their hair was glued into place. The two of them were wearing identical uniforms, Black vest that went down to their thighs, a green undershirt and pants of the same color, and finally, the had standard issue, shiny black boots that reached to just below the knee.
“Ahem.” the white one cleared his throat and pulled out a scroll like piece of…was it paper? “Ahem. You, the legendary warriors of the world named Lyoko, have been invited to the prestigious Anti-Virus Academy, where your skills will be honed and put to use against the constant threat of virals. Your tuition has been paid in full, so no payment is necessary for these services.” His spoke in a breathy voice that somehow seemed strained to speak in their language.
The gang glanced at each other. This was another delay they didn’t need. “Um, listen, we can’t go to this academy place because we have something much more important to attend to right now. So if you’ll excuse us, we really need to get going.” Jordan said as he began to walk away from them. The pink one moved faster than they could have imagined, leaving copies in her wake. She grabbed Jordan’s arm and smiled the smile of one who delights in other’s misery.
“Oh no.” she said, “You see, since your tuition had been paid, you can’t leave the Academy until you graduate. Isn’t that right, V.O.O.L.?”
Verdana had had enough of this crap. They were in her way and she was getting impatient. Odd felt the change in her mood, even before her face began to show open irritation. She began to form a portal for their escape, when V.O.O.L. pressed a button on his belt. A thin strip of something wrapped itself around her arms, pinning them to her sides.
“Now, now dearies. You can come quietly or we can drag you there. Your choice. Personally, I hope you refuse. I do so enjoy dragging screaming little programs to the Academy.” the woman said, squeezing Jordan’s arm as she did so.
The gang all looked at Verdana. V.O.O.L.’s and the woman’s gazes found her as well, marking her as the leader of this group.
“I take it you are the leader of this ragtag band. It is clear you could all use some training. So you can order a stand down or L.A.T.I.A. can drag you there.” V.O.O.L. said, sneering at the gang.
“I am not the leader. We do not have a leader, but work together seamlessly, bringing all our individual talents into the group. No one is better than any of the others.” Verdana began quietly, though her voice rose confidently as she went on.
“Very well. L.A.T.I.A., take them away!”
Before the pink woman could move Verdana spoke up again. “I never said that we would not come with you. I am only explaining that we have no leader, so we must talk about it amongst ourselves.” V.O.O.L. nodded sullenly, meaning “well, get on with it then”
The gang clustered around Verdana and began mumbling to each other. “It looks like we’re going to have to go no matter what, so let’s go quietly and we can focus our energy on escaping. I’m sure we can find a loophole once we’re there.” Jordan told them all and there were murmurs of assent.
“There is another option.” Manuel stated. “I could always get them out of the way for you, little sister.”
“No thanks. We’re trying to do this with no loss of life if possible.” Verdana said stubbornly. Manuel shrugged.
“It’s decided. We go, then once we find a way out, we leave. Simple as that.” Jordan said. But the thought that ran through all of their minds was – -simple? Nothing like that is ever simple. There’s definitely gonna be problems.- –
Meanwhile, V.O.O.L. and L.A.T.I.A. were talking with each other. “That one, the one with the helmet and the uniform with many pockets. He looks just like the royals of Moflyt. I’m betting he’s their kidnapped prince and heir to the throne. If he comes, imagine the notice we would get.” she whispered in an excited voice.
“I agree. We mussst take him at all cossstsss.” he hissed, stretching out his s’s.
The group before them spread apart. “We have decided to go without a fight.” Verdana said. But, only those who were standing next to her heard her say under her breath, “for right now.”
– -Boy are they in for a surprise.- – Odd thought, laughing inwardly.
“Then all of you step into the portal and no funny business.” V.O.O.L. said, gesturing to the open portal behind him. They all entered, followed by the two deliverers of bad news.
Glow: -returns, panting- Give…me…coffee! Now! Unless you don’t want to see the next chapter for a year! I swear I’ll do it! And if you don’t like it, tough! Blame Verdana. -leaves-
Verdana: If you give a review, and mention in it that you don’t want me to die…she might let off and update sooner than she would otherwise…think about it…
