Code Lyoko Porn Story: The Origin System Chapter 9

Glow: Oops…I guess you couldn’t see part of their blog adresses. Well, check out my profile and find out what they are.

Viv: -sips coffee- How’s it going?

Verdana: Hey, when did we say you could go back on caffine, Viv?

Viv: um, never. But you know, it wasn’t working.

Verdana: yeah, unfortunately.

Jordan: Where did all the food money go?

Glow: Into my drink fund…

Jordan: Drink fund?

Glow: yup…the readers stopped leaving Surge for me…so I took the food money to pay for them…

Jordan: Reviewers! That means all you people that read the story, give Surge! I would like to eat in the next year, preferably!

Chapter 9: Following the Path

It was the mayorial. “M’boy, why don’t you come inside? It will be nicer in there where you can wait until you feel prepared for the tour.”

Jordan understood that it wasn’t a question, it was a veiled command. “I’m afraid I must decline.” he said tactfully, trying to act like a prince. He hit upon sudden inspiration. He remembered AIMA saying that he disappeared on one of his many walks. “Are you aware I used to spend much time outside? It doesn’t bother me.”

The mayorial bowed and said, “I apologize. I wasn’t aware.”

Jordan found he was actually enjoying this. He replied coldly, “Of course you weren’t. You assumed I had no reason for being out here. That’s what comes from living in such an outer system. In any case, it is not your business what I do with my time. Now leave. I wish to prepare myself for the tour in silence and you are disrupting me.”

Flustered, the mayorial bowed again and back away. Jordan heaved a sigh of relief. For the second time in a matter of minutes, a hand clutched his shoulder. This time, it was someone he’d wanted to see. It was Viv. He gave her a huge hug. She patted his back awkwardly. “I missed you.” he muttered. She smiled and hugged him back.

“Me too.”

The others were trying to look in any other direction but at them. Manuel cleared his throat. “Can we maybe get a move on?”

Jordan let go of Viv, but grabbed her hand. “This way! I got us one of those snazzy floating cars to get us out faster. If we go here, someone might notice. We can’t risk someone else coming with us.”

He led them into the hangar and they all got into a floating car. It was surprisingly large. It looked like a Corvette crossed with a limo. Viv glanced at Jordan. “Well, let’s just say I pitched a fit and said I wanted a fast, big car to suit my needs.” He laughed at the memory.

“I’m driving.” Manuel said, allowing no argument. Verdana buckled up. The others cast nervous glances and buckled up too. Manuel hauled the driver out of his spot and tossed him out of the window. “Outta my way.”

He took off. Everyone gripped the edges of their seats in fright. Let’s just say that by the end of the ride, all of them were white-faced with fear and had to be pried out of their seats. “Youareneverdrivingagain!” Verdana gasped out.

“Oh, like you could do better!”

“I could totally kick your ass at driving.”

“I’mwithVerdana.” panted Jeremy. “Youareneverdrivingeveragain!”

Manuel shrugged. Verdana created a portal and they all stepped in. Out they came into another world. The moment they were all there, they were surrounded by a bunch of small programs. They reminded them of the Mini-Howlers they had encountered when they had fought with Manuel the first time. Only the Mini-Howlers weren’t carrying spears and slingshots.

One, who seemed to be the leader, approached Verdana. He hugged her leg, the highest point he could reach. Odd, felt jealous, even though he knew he had no reason to. It puzzled him beyond anything. With a shrug he watched what went on. Out of the tiny creature came a surprisingly deep voice.

“Welcome back, Purple Child. Come stay with us.”

“Okay. But first let me introduce my friends. Guys, this is TARO. Jeremy Belpolis”

“Welcome great knight. We are honored.”

“Aelita of Lyoko” (Aelita was extremely grateful Verdana didn’t introduce her as “princess”)

“Ah, my dear, we welcome you warmly.”

“Yumi Ishiyama”

“Greetings mighty lady.”

“Ulrich Stern”

“Hail great Warrior.”

“Odd Della-Robia”

“Salutations, fierce one.” (Odd stuck a heroic pose and looked extremely proud)

“Vivian Martinez”

“Welcome, oh great flyer.”

“Jordan Feeny” (He was immensely glad she didn’t call him prince)

“I salute you brave soldier.”

“Santino Pedrose”

“Greetings, flaming one.”

“Melaine, or Q”

“Welcome to our world, dear.”

“and Manuel Santiago.”

“Welcome brother of the Purple One.”

With introductions out of the way, they proceeded to a tiny village tucked away in the tropical forest. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. Literally. They walked through, making sure not to step on any houses. “We have prepared a feast for you. Enjoy, great vanquishers of the vile XANA.”

“Don’t people usually thank us for defeating your brother?” Odd whispered to Verdana. She nodded.

“But you don’t know what XANA did to these people. My brother didn’t even ever come here. It was too ‘primitive’ to focus his power on. I came here right after XANA did. It was horrible. I can’t even find words to describe it.” Odd gave her hand a squeeze as a shadow passed across her eyes. “It’s a good thing you killed him.”

“Well, you killed him too, remember?”

“True. You’ll like the food here. It ain’t none of those nasty shakes.”

“Yum!” Odd said and rubbed his stomach. They all sat down and enjoyed the best meal they had ever had. After that, came story time. The little beings wanted to know all about XANA’s defeat. They ended up recounting all their adventures from the time Verdana had met them.

“and since we knew where his hidey hole was, we went and cornered him. Then we destroyed him”

“but I brought him back, like I did every other virus. Hey, I was a little short on minions, what can I say? Anyway”

“and then he attacked Odd. Well, I got mad and destroyed him because I thought Odd was gone forever. It made me so mad to think about it.”

Eventually all the light faded from the sky. Lamps were being lit around the village. “It is time for rest. Spend the night here, where it is safe.” The gang accepted and was led to the village’s storage room, the largest building in the whole place. It was so huge in relation to the little people, that all of the gang fit inside. They hadn’t realized they were so tired, as they lay out to sleep. As Verdana drifted off, she realized there hadn’t been any children in the village. But before she could follow that train of thought to the end, she was out.

The leader of the village walked outside the boundaries. He spoke to a tall tree. Not really the tree, but to the shadows behind it. “We have done as you have asked. Now give us back our children.”

A voice drifted from the shadows. It was male, but the voice was rather high. “Excellent. I will leave then.” A sigh of relief escaped TARO. “But the children shall remain in a secure location, guarded by my minions until they leave for their home system. If you tell them, I will give the order to slaughter the children. Until then, farewell and remember if you want to see the children again, you’ll keep your side of the deal.” TARO sighed and walked back to his village, troubled.

Glow: I am devious, aren’t I…

Jordan: What’s this crap? I never pitched a fit!

Glow: It’s…um…artistic license. Your escape wasn’t interesting enough.

Jordan: -glares- Try to stick to the truth…guess I’ll have to put what really happened on my blog…grrrrr…

Glow: the truth was so boring…I like my version better.

Jordan: -mutters- You would, wouldn’t you…

Glow: what? Don’t make me write you into a corner and leave you there…
