Chapter 1: Locating the Enemy

Aelita's POV

"I don't understand why he's avoiding me." I told Yumi, Jennifer, and Miranda.

"Should I be worried?" I asked, with the other three girls shaking their heads.

"If I know Chris, and I do, he's not the kind of guy who preys on girls." Jennifer assured me with support from Miranda. It's true that never once did he cheat on me. I still was worried. I decided to take my mind off of it with a little girl talk.

Christopher's POV

I was with Ulrich, Odd, Jeremie, and William looking towards Aelita.

"I don't know how to tell her, guys." I said to them.

"Don't tell her. If you do, she won't let you fight this war and you know it." Ulrich said, earning agreements from the others.

"But I don't want her to be distraught after it happens." I said.

"She'll be distraught if you do tell her." Jeremie said.

"After I'm gone, promise me you guys will look after her." I said to them.

"I promise." They all said.

"By the way, how's controlling it coming along?" Odd asked.

"I've been practicing on animals like mice and other things. I can even resurrect plants. But it's very draining for me to use." I replied.

"If it drains you when you're practicing, then how in the hell are you gonna be able to resurrect the students and staff?" William asked, concerned.

"I don't know." I replied before returning to the task at hand.

"Any luck locating her?" I asked Jeremie, hoping he was getting somewhere with finding X.A.N.A.

"No. I don't understand." Jeremie said.

"It's getting late anyway. Why don't we all get some sleep? Aelita and I will take the first watch." I said. I went over to the where the girls were and nodded towards my girlfriend and she came with me for the first watch.

General POV

The night went by slowly. Only Jeremie was still awake, trying his hardest to locate X.A.N.A. Finally stopping, he went over to Miranda and quickly fell asleep. When he awoke the next morning, he went back to the lab to see if X.A.N.A. had been located. When he got to the computer, he saw that she had been located, but was shocked when he saw where the location was. He called the others down and the eight of them arrived in the lab, mad that he woke them up so early.

"What's so pressing that just couldn't wait a few more hours?" Christopher asked, rubbing sleep from his eyes.

"I've found out where she is. Kadic Academy." Jeremie said, surprising the others.

"Why would she want the school?" Aelita asked. "I have no idea." Jeremie replied.

"Well, now that we know where her base is, let's try to locate X.A.N.A. herself." Ulrich said.

"Already done. She's using the gymnasium as her throne room." Jeremie said.

"Bring up a camera's visual." Yumi said and Jeremie obliged and they all were shocked to see that X.A.N.A. had all the corpses strung up as her trophies.

"Now she's gone too far." Jennifer said.

"Hell, yeah, she has." Miranda said.

"Then it's time to go to war." Christopher said.

That's chapter one. I apologize for how short it is. I'll have a very dark surprise at the end of the war. Review and I'll post more chapters.
