This choice: A new creature, the chameleon • Go Back...Chapter #4Chameleon, Cat, Test of Character by: theskin   Clearly you've been going at this the wrong way. You've been trying to kill the kids, then win. Or get them away from you, and then win. But what you actually want is to win. And right now you don't care if you have the wimpiest solution of all wimpy solutions. Especially if it means you can kill them afterwards.
Here he is, your perfect creature. If you were to look at a map of Lyoko, It'd easily be her most sizeable creature. Bigger than the Kolossus. Only it's only big in 2-D, once folded, it's about as big as a keychain. To get enough processing power to do it, you had to erase some parts of your present consciousness (The emotion part, which you usually do in these cases according to the word doc, and the one-way internet access. Man if only you could listen to some sweet tunes while doing evil plants)
Still, the chameleon is done, but now the hardest part of them all is coming: you have to activate a tower without a time reset at the end. That means engineering an attack innocuous enough for the belpoix boy not to reset time, but annoying enough while using very low processing power.
If you had knuckles, right now would've been when you'd crack them.

"Geez Jeremy, I can't believe XANA hacked our social media accounts to make it seem like we were radical Breton Independentists"
"That was only you Ulrich, personally I was framed as a furry artist on the run from German police"
"You wear a literal catsuit odd. You have a tail. Your ideal version of yourself looks like someone's 12yo DeviantArt OC"
"I choose to take that as a compliment"
"You really can't"
"Well at least I won't go down in history as a patreon creator of pasta-licking ASMR YUMI "
"Jeremy, what did XANA internet frame you for?" Asked Ulrich
"I'd prefer not to talk about it" Said Jeremy, his fragile weeb mind still haunted and slightly aroused at the Twitter thread of a poorly-photoshopped version of him being a doting partner to bowsette.
"I still don't understand what's considered so wrong about liking the Ghost in the Shell live-action movie" said Aelita "I mean I'm a cyborg with a ridiculous hairstyle as well and I haven't been offended"
"Jeremy" Said Yumi "Are we original series code Lyoko or is it the reboot one where I've been whitewashed"
"As far as I can tell it's the original one? You're more angsty and you have that frightening goth energy"
"Okay. Now I know that I can rightfully trash aelita for that Ghost in the Shell comment because HOLY SHIT it's yet another movie where ScarJo kills Asian people in their own countries while playing on yellow peril tropes and using orientalist imagery. That and this woman couldn't act her way into getting a bathroom pass at a catholic all girl's middle school"
"If that's the case where is my Oscar?" Asked Odd, referring to the many, many times when they exited class on the flimsiest of excuses, while Yumi kept telling Aelita about way better cyborg movies.
"Anyhow I think that I can clean up our online reputation easily enough" said Jeremy
"........" Yumied Yumi
"..........." Ulriched Ulrich
"You're not getting anywhere near my computer" said Odd. "Because of uuuuuuuh Minecraft"
"That or I can hack into Facebook's servers and make everyone at our school suspicious to some government identity/Authority figure somewhere"
"Please make Sissi's Facebook feed full of clown inflation porn" Said all of the main 3 at exactly the same time.
"Still, I can't believe how petty XANA is getting. I was half-expecting predator drones or swarms of bees, or swarms of predatory drones which worked by using bees, or ..... The usual, y'know" Said Ulrich
"I mean at this point they weren't even trying, two kankrelats? They're getting lazy" mused Yumi
"Maybe they're depressed. I mean their one goal in life is to destroy all of LYOKO and....... What do they even want after that?"
Jeremy seemed lost in thought "I don't want to be there to know it frankly. This supercomputer scares the hell out of me and even the minimal amount of control that they have on it is enough to wreak havoc. But I guess it's got to be world domination? Turning all of earth into a giant supercomputer? I'd do that if it were me"
"I'd get myself almost a thousand robot babes, and maybe an empire, and that'd be it" Said Odd, being an awkward 13yo
############################
After hanging out in the supercomputer room some more (Jeremy had found a way to port Skyrim on it, and Yumi had a terrifying amount of sweets there. Tagada strawberries pink enough to make the normal observer question her gothness) the five friends headed home on their respective sewer mobiles.
But one of them was coming home with XANA's secretest agent.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
