Code Lyoko: Revolutions and Evolutions

Chapter 31

AN: This chapter took a while to write, but I am thankful to the Lord for the help he has given me.

I would like for my readers to know that the pamphlet that I referenced, The Fall of the Socialist Machine and the Rise of the Citizen King, is written with expressed permission from its author Christopher Diaz. He is a fellow Christian writer, and he has allowed me to use this as a reference to help flesh out my narrative. His other pamphlet, which argues for Utilitarian-Socialism, is also an exciting read, and it is available on Kindle if you would like to look at it underneath the Across the Door series.

As always, thank you so much for your continued views and your support. Read, Review, and Enjoy, and I'll see you next chapter.

Chapter 31

Aelita was sleeping soundly and comfortably. In her dream, she was back in Lyoko's digital library, looking at all the raw data that she had looked over during the time that Jeremy had been trying to figure out the formula for her materialization. As she moved her hands over select panels of different studies. A flash of light engulfed the data, vaporizing it before her eyes. Aelita was terrified at first and warily turned around. A woman was before her. She was taller than Aelita by at least a foot. Animal skins clan her body from neck to foot, her feet covered in what looked like deer-hide boots. An emblazoned helmet covered the woman's face, only her eyes were visible. A spear was held in her right hand, beautiful and long; the point of which was made with ornate carvings of dragons at the base and the edges were semi-jagged, but Aelita could tell, razor-sharp.

"Who are you?" Aelita asked the figure.

"It's me, Aelita." The voice replied, "Sylvia-Anna."

"How are you here? How are you in my dream? I'm not wearing your bracelet."

"Perhaps not. But rest assured, there are other ways of performing this little gimmick."

Aelita paused, "What are you doing here?" she after a moment of hesitation.

"You have spent long enough in your father's archives in Lyoko. You have absorbed much and learned equally almost as much. It is now that I would like to bring you to my domain. To show you what I have been privy to in the many years since my birth."

Aelita concentrated and soon energized spheres generated from her hands, "How do I know that I can trust you?"

Sylvia looked at the orbs and the back at Aelita, "So, you've mastered lucid dreaming. Excellent, Aelita. Very good, indeed."

"Answer my question, Sylvia. How do I know that I can trust you?"

The woman's eyes sharpened on Aelita, "You don't. That's what makes life interesting. Now, we can stand here at a proverbial impasse, or you can walk with me through my own databanks."

Aelita exhaled, and the sphere dissipated. Sylvia nodded, "Very good. Now, you're going to a slight sting."

Aelita arched an eyebrow and was about to ask a question when suddenly the spear launched and pierced her right above her left breast. Aelita screamed, and she took a breath in. It was so sharp, so cold, the metal in her chest. She looked down, and the spear was pulled out.

Aelita fell to her knees, "You fucking bitch! Why?!" she screamed through tears. As she looked down at the entry point, she was amazed as she saw no gaping hole but a small prick. "Huh?" she looked back at Sylvia-Anna.

"See? Now was that so bad? I told you it would sting a bit." Sylvia replied, leaning on her spear.

"A bit? A bit?! You nearly pierced my heart!"
