Code Lyoko : Virtualization

Missing Pieces

Factory

After their moment together outside, the gang head inside to the elevator and arrive to the Supercomputer.
"Okay. Now let's get down to business." Laura says, sitting back down on her comfy chair, stretching.
"Wait, so what happened yesterday? I mean before - you know what I mean." Hiroki says.
"You know, these return to the pasts sure are confusing when it comes to what happened that day. Especially, when it happened at 'that' day." Tamiya rolling her fingers around.
"Yeah, let's just stick to what happened the "first" time." Sam says with her arms still crossed.
"First time sounds good." Hiroki says. Tamiya nods her head, smiling.
"Okay, guys. Are we done here?" Laura looks back at them, seriously.
"Ha. Funny I was gonna ask the same thing." Hiroki with a smart mouth as usual. Sam gave him that look again. Hiroki then smiles, in fear. "I mean, yes." Sam lowers down her hands and focuses her attention on Laura.
"Okay then, listen up. Remember the tower that was activated in the Mountain region?" Laura turns around and types on the keyboard.
"Hey, what happened? I thought I was supposed to deactivate it. Did I?" Hiroki confused points to himself.
"No. You passed out. We thought something bad happened to you. So she brought us back -" Tamiya tries explaining.
"- Wait. You brought me back without deactivating the tower?!" Hiroki stops Tamiya.
"What if XANA has launched an attack on us?"
"Well that's just it. XANA didn't launch any attack whatsoever." Laura shows them the map of the Mountain Sector. "There is nothing. The tower was deactivated after that thing appeared."
"Thing?" Sam said.
"It wasn't something. A thing. Or whatever you wanna call it. It was a person." Hiroki said.
"Really?" Laura said startled. Then Sam and Tamiya reacted, too.
"A person?" Sam says.
"In Lyoko?" Tamiya couldn't believe it.
"Yeah. You were there, Tamiya." He points out. All eyes on Tamiya.
"Yeah. But I didn't see anything but smoke take me down. It was fast." Tamiya tells them.
"He saved my life." Hiroki says.
"He?" Sam was really curious now. "Laura, do you think there are people who live in Lyoko?" As soon as she said that, all eyes were on Laura now.
"It's possible. Or maybe this is a trap by XANA. I mean think about it. Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich are that virus's puppets."
"Maybe." Hiroki trying to figure it out.
"Yeah, but still..." Sam trying to figure out the next thing to say.
"He saved my life twice. Including that time when we were close to being puppets, too." Hiroki tells them. Tamiya remembers that time, as well.
"Yeah, that was way too close." She says to them.
"You think it might have been Jeremy?" Sam wondered.
"No. It wasn't. I mean, I don't think so. I didn't get a good look on him. But I recognize his voice when I hear it. It's like listening to Laura when she talks, but smarter." Hiroki says. Everyone laughs, except Laura.
"Ha ha, very funny. But seriously." Laura focuses her eyes on Hiroki, serious.
Hiroki looks down scratching his head, "It wasn't Jeremy, though. I'd know if I heard it. So this guy has to be someone else."
"Okay, but the only person that went missing that day with them was Aelita." Tamiya remembers that sad moment, but then snaps her fingers quickly looking to Hiroki.
"Hiroki, you said that you can hear the voices in your head. All of us, right? So why don't we try asking them? I mean, they might know."
The group looks around.
"It's worth a shot." Hiroki says.
"Yeah, let's go." Sam punching her hands together ready for action.
"Yeah, and how exactly are we going to do that?" Laura asks.
"Leave that to me." Hiroki smirks.

Scanner Room

Hiroki, Sam, and Tamiya enter the scanner room, excited.
"I can't wait wait to talk to them. This'll be a scoop." Tamiya says, unable to hold the excitement.
"Yeah. But this scoop stays between us. Not to anybody in school." Sam shoots down her hope. Tamiya frowned for a moment.
"Well at least we get to speak to them." She shrugs her shoulder as she enters the scanner.
"Alright, then. Let's do this." Hiroki content. Sam stops him by grabbing him on the shoulder.
"Are you sure this will work?" She asks him.
"C'mon, don't you want answers, too?" Responding back to her.
"What if we run into them again? And that thing?"
"No worries. This time you'll be there to kick some butt." He winks at Sam, pulling out his clever finger guns at her.
"All right. It's go time." Laura tells them."
