Code Lyoko: Lyoko Defenders

Chapter 25 Part 3

Lynn's POV:

"Max, your up first." One of the crew members called.

A male around the age of seventeen walked over. He was the first of fifteen finalist to perform.

After him, a girl named Kyra would go next. She was one of three people who chose not to use their studio time. Instead, she wanted to sing a song from the popular group, Diamond Wave.

"You ready, Lynn?" AD stood behind me, clipboard in hand. She was the main person all contests had contact with. She's the one we went to for information and to answer our questions.

"No." I said flatly.

AD chuckled, "I'm the only one who's seen and heard each finalist's playlist." She shook her head, "If only I could vote."

Intrested in this information, I asked. "What are my chanaces of winning?"

She raised an eyebrow. "The same as everyone else here."

I sighed, "In other words, the fact that I made it this far mean's I've still got a chance."

AD patted my shoulder, "Correct." With a few words of encouragment, she left.

Kya's POV:

"Huh, so Avery was right." Ally casually strolled out of the elevator. She took in the dull colors, completely appearing unimpressed. "While there are several questions I should be asking. That's not why I'm here."

This girl doesn't know when to give up. "You need to learn when to give up."

Ally cocked her hips out, arms crossed. "Not when it involves a friend." She actually referred to that jerk as a friend. "Yeah, I know doesn't make any sense." She flipped her hair. "So where's Alexei?"

"Your a broken record, he's not here." I partially lied.

Ally raised an eyebrow, "Not until I've spoken to Alexei."

"Ally, let's make a deal." Alexei's voice broke through the tension, scaring Ally.

She looked around like a scared rabbit. "Where's his voice coming from?"

Cam ingored Ally, going back to montioring our friends on Lyoko. "What are you planning?"

"Simple, we need Lynn. Ally wants me." Alexei explained, "Fair trade."

"No, nothing is fair about that." I took the headset off of Cam. Alexei's gonna hear me good and clear. This is a bad idea in so many ways. "Nevermind the fact she'll forget everyone after a Return to the Past and the fact that Avery got his own self kicked off the soccer team. How can we trust her?"

"She's helped us several times before and hasn't asked for anything more than me spending extra time with Mara." Alexei countered.

I looked at Cam for help. "Please make him understand logic and reasoning."

Cam shook his head, "Ally's never out right done anything to us, expect be rude."

"She took Lynn's lyrics and tossed them around." That had been the same day Cam and Alexei informed me they'd asked Lynn to rejoin the group.

"But Mara was the one who took it, balled it up, and dumped food on you." Ally 'helpfully' added.

"The easiest way to solve this, would be to vote." Emi intervened.

"Fine." I said. 

"We know Alexei's for it. And so am I." Cam's vote surpised me. Of everyone, I thought he'd agree with me. "Don't give me that look. We need Lynn and this is the best option we have right now."
