Okay, I don't usually do Code Lyoko fics, but I've decided to do this for a change. If anyone can guess the characters I've used, you get to add something into the story.

Prologue: Shards of Memories

Ten years...ten years since the first war. Since he was imprisoned. Hard to believe that the three had gone missing with him. Still, it was a blessing that the One had not yet appeared. That could derail everything. It could be the end of the plan that had been formulated since before the three had earned their blades. It could not be allowed.

A boy with blond hair and ocean blue eyes yawned as he moved through Charles De Gaulle Airport. The private jet had offloaded the luggage, and its passengers moved through the deserted building. The boy yawned again. The girl with raven black hair and sky blue eyes beside him smiled.

"Late night?" she asked.

"Something like that," he mumbled.

They smiled, and shared a brief laugh. They had come from America, and it was to be expected that they were tired.

"Roxas! Xion!" a voice called.

They turned to see a man in a black uniform coming towards them.

"I have come to take you to your new school," he announced.

Roxas and Xion smiled. Best friends since childhood, they had both decided to transfer to Kadic Academy, to get away from the lifestyle that had been imposed on them. Foster parents rarely knew what was best for them, so they had decided to make their own way. After ensuring they had received what they were entitled to, of course.

"I had that dream again last night," Roxas whispered to Xion, once they were seated in the back of the black S600 Mercedes Benz.

"I did too," Xion whispered, fidgeting nervously on the seat.

The pair had been having strange dreams the past few months, which varied. At times, it was a large stain glass window, portraying several scenes of great importance. At other times, it was three large keys, that seemed to have some significance. The most recent was three armour clad warriors with those key swords, fighting an old man, and a man in a body suit. They were never the same, but always carried the same voice: "It all began with Birth by Sleep. All will be born from sleep."

"Have you heard much about Kadic Academy?" the driver asked.

"Not much. Just that it's quiet, and out of the way," Roxas replied with a shrug.

"I just hope that no one has been informed we're coming," Xion said. "Being popular in America means that anyone over here could know about you, and ruin our chances at being normal."

"Don't worry. No one except the Principal was been informed of our identities," Roxas said, with his trademark smile. "We'' be fine. No one will know us."

As the car sped down the motorway, the in car phone rang.

"Hello?" the driver said, turning the speaker on.

"Felix, are they alright?" a voice asked.

"Fine, Mister Schenberg," the driver replied.

"Good. I'll meet you at the school, to finalise the arrangements." With that, the phone cut off, leaving them in silence again.

Liene Schenberg was a long time friend of Roxas and Xion, him being the one that got their careers as musicians kicked off, helping them with their education. He had set up the transfer to Kadic, and planned to visit often, because he had to move back to his Paris house for business.

"At least we have someone to look out for us," Xion said. Roxas nodded. They would need someone to be there for them, as they had never been to Europe alone. It was an adventure of sorts.

Somewhere, in the virtual network, an old man was watching the scene using hidden satellites.

"So, they have arrived. At last, XANA, the key to making you a part of me has arrived."

He smirked at the displays, knowing that XANA would soon join him, giving him complete control again. When that happened, he would eliminate the one that had caused the problems, and ensure that the three powers were kept hidden from those that would use it against him.

The Gathering held many secrets, and none of those could fall to those children. It would undo the last ten years of work, which was unacceptable.

The car pulled up at a fancy building, on the edge of the countryside.

Roxas and Xion got out, taking in the scenery. They hadn't expected Liene to have such an amazing house. It seemed to have been a renaissance house, that had been renovated, bringing some modern culture to it. It seemed like a small castle, and the wall surrounding the property made it feel like a private get away.

The large doors opened, and a man stepped out. He had dark brown hair, with some grey streaks in it, and soft blue eyes. He smiled at Roxas and Xion, grabbing them in a bear hug.

"Roxas! Xion!" he cried, holding them tighter.

"Liene!" they cried in unison, as they were set back down on the ground. "It's good to see you again!"

"And you!" Liene said. "I trust the flight wasn't too long?"

"Well, it wasn't that rough," Roxas said.

"Good. Well, let's get you sorted. You can spend the night here, considering the time. Then I'll take you to the school tomorrow," Liene said, beckoning the pair inside.

They grabbed their bags, and were shown to separate rooms, that were fit for kings. Liene treated them well, considering that he had his own children to worry about. Of course, they were currently in England, so he had little contact with them. Besides, Roxas and Xion were like his own. He cared for them as much as his own children, and would ensure that they were treated well.

The next morning would be like hell for them, they just didn't realise it yet.

So, what did you think? A lot happens here, and introductions are made for the plot of the story. The first real chapter, I'll show more about the past of my OCs, and how everyone reacts to them.

Anyway, please leave a review!

Until next time, Slán!
