Tower Activated

"So, what happened to her?" asked Linda, the school's nurse, to the three kids in front of her

"Well, she had a blackout during the break. We were walking in the school, but she wasn't saying anything and when we walked down the stairs, she fell and hurt herself." said Jo to an unsure nurse

"Okay. I'm going to call an ambulance, because she broke her ankle. Did she say anything, or did she say she felt weird during class?" asked Linda

"No, she seemed fine..." said Jo before leaving with his two friends.

"Probably a pressure problem. I'll make sure she's fine. You can go back to your classes." said Linda

"Jo, go with Caro to the hospital, I'll go to the factory when our classes end" said Madd, discreetly when both boys agreed, they left each other.

Two hours later, they were all in the factory except Caro, because she had to spend the night at the hospital. The elevator's doors opened up, showing what they thought was a dream.

"Why did we came here?" asked Jo as if he missed a thing

"Caro said she was attacked by the robot".

Happily, Caro could defend herself by letting her beautiful cat robot fall from high enough destroy it by her teleportation power. Madd got installed in front of the computer and saw that there was an alert on the system that said "Tower activated" beside it, there was a tower icon with a virus symbol on its surface.

"Luna? Luna can you hear me?" asked Madd

"Yes but what happened to Caro?" asked Luna back

"She got attacked by the robot she created herself. She said it had the same logo in its eyes that there was on the ladybug's forehead." said Madd asking for an explanation.

"Before she left, she told me she had found something on the ladybug and on the logo. Listen and do exactly what I tell you, you're going to have to do manipulations." said Luna surprising Madd a bit

A couple minutes later, she had found something on the recent pages the talked about a thing named X.A.R.A. Madd couldn't understand what that meant, but the she saw there was the logo with the squares. That's the only information the computer could tell the three friends.

"So, you mean that X.A.R.A. is trying to kill us? Why?" asked Jo

"I don't know that we should ask Caro if we want to know more." said Madd hardly understanding what all that stuff meant.

"Caro said the signal came from Aria itself, so maybe when you found me on Aria, you found X.A.R.A. too?" Luna asked, even she was unsure if it was a question or not.

"Maybe you should explore the territories of Aria while we go back to class. We will come back after our music class to see if you saw something anormal." suggested Mike, recalling them they had to be in music in less than 20 minutes.

The next day, Caro was back at school, with a big grey boot to protect her left foot and ankle, that she hurt. Her friends were reassured, but also feeling kind of guilty, because now that he learned about Caro's accident, he was getting new ramps for the wide staircases and he even bought an elevator for the use of every student. Mike went with Caro to the factory, because Mike had a break because he was not in the same classes as his three other friends and Caro was supposed to be at the library with her friends but she wasn't in a mood to read.

"Yes I found something on X.A.R.A. in the tower from the river sector. It said that X.A.R.A. is a program based on a multi - agent system that accessed to conciousness. It's a very dangerous program that wants to take over humanity as soon as he got an opportunity to do it. It said that the only way to eradicate X.A.R.A. is to turn the supercomputer off. But obviously, if you did that, the territories of Aria would all disappear and the virtual world would not resist this chock. The only problem is that if you turn off the supercomputer I will find myself in the digital sea. It also said something crucial about our situation. X.A.R.A. activates towers to attack in your world. When they're activated, their halos change colour and you have an alert on the super computer's screen." said Luna learning many things to Mike and Caro

"So you mean that X.A.R.A. is attacking right now?" asked Jo

"He did, but he stopped because his objective to stop is from discovering him failed. The only problem is that we have no idea how to deactivate towers on Aria." said Caro

"We have to find that out" said Caro, who started working for the night, as she did for the last three weeks, since they discovered Aria.
