A Fading Hope Chapter two

A Fading Hope: Chapter Two: Flight of Gears

Song- World Without Danger ( Code Lyoko Theme)

There is a world that is virtual and different.
It can be so cold, makes us stand up for what's right.
Our hopes through our life, if we reset it to the start.

(Chorus)
Here we are, going far to save all that we love.
If we give all we've got, we will make it through.
Here we are, like a star shining bright on your world.
Today, make evil go away.
Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all, Code Lyoko, be there when you call.
Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall, Code Lyoko, stronger after all.

(Chorus)
A world of machines, it can shadow human nature
And all that we need is the way to find the answer
But one thing sure, you can count on us for good.

(Chorus)
We'll do our best to never let you down.
We're up to the test to turn this world around.

(Chorus)

This song is from a french-translated into english- cartoon, Code Lyoko, which is very fun and I really liked it. It's about kids who are fighting an evil super computer, in a digital world(sound familiar?) Of course, these kids have no digimon and are nearly killed, along with the real world roughly once an episode. anyway.  Also part of the Code. I felt it really illustrated the lives of our heroes- they do a ton, and it's about to get worse....but they fight anyway.

Story-

first off, fun fact, I mention Plotmon in my note.Plotmon is apparently the Japanese name for Salmon, who becomes Gatomon. This was not intentional, though I find it hilarious. I had a hard time getting started, but I needed to write, so I did. I was worried I was doing too much " telling" and not enough "showing", at least in the start, but it seemed to work out ok.  This starts the first of the What-the-What "plot hole" type things that will get resolved in Ken's story- the Amusement park. yay. I won't speak of it now. I had fun writing this- I watched a few early episodes of season two again, trying to fit the characters, and I hope I got them right. It was fun to give them all a break, for the moment. I'm fond of cliffhangers, as you know. And Mood Whiplash. 

I liked revisiting the park, and this won't be the last time we get some serious, " I've been here before" stuff. This story is going to have lots of revisiting the past places- so you may want to bush up. Still, don't feel like you must- the important stuff will get explained to the younger kids, and thus, you folks.

I was searching for a good place to have this happen- I knew it would ( although early drafts of this story had Matt hurt in a very different way- Devimon used the internet to mess with traffic lights, leading to Matt getting hit by a car. Then I realized I'd been watching way too much Code Lyoko, and Devimon was not Xana, so that got cut ) but wasn't sure where. I figured that the place where T.K once nearly lost his brother- when Matt left to look for the others- would be kinda cool, even if Teeks didn't get it. So that's what I did.

Anyway, that was this chapter. I'll post for the next two soon, and then the next so I can be all caught up :)
