The Factory's Secret

"But, why did you have to get us on Aria? You could've told Caro while she was working in the factory?" said Madd.

"I can't communicate with the exterior world. On Aria, only those who come from Earth and Luna can communicate with Caro." X.A.R.A. answered.

"But, do you know how did we arrive here?" asked Luna to her, apparently, brother.

"I can't remember at all this details. The last thing I know is that we've been on Aria for a very long time." he answered to her.

"Like how much?" curiously asked Luna.

"For what I know I know, 17 years is the number I know, but it might be more, it's just an approximation. But I really don't know how we arrived on Aria. I think the creator of Aria created us with the virtual world, that's why we need to do something special to get out of it, deactivating towers, for example." he answered looking at everyone's shocked faces.

"You mean that I'm 17 years old?" Luna asked, shocked.

"That's it. Now if you don't mind, I'll go deactivate the tower." X.A.R.A. answered.

They looked at him go, not knowing really what to do. Caro was worried. She had no more contact with her friends since almost ten minutes from now. As she started thinking she might go on Aria to check on her friends, a face appeared on her screen.

"Oh, Luna I was getting worried. What happened? Is it just me or your hair are green?" Caro said.

"Who are you? Of course my hair are green." the girl said.

The group was waiting for the tower to get deactivated so they could go back to college but the halo of the tower wasn't changing color, it was still red and not ready to change. As they saw X.A.R.A. clearly didn't deactivate the tower, they decided to go in to check on X.A.R.A. and to let Luna deactivate the tower. When they arrived on the higher platform, they had another surprise when they saw a girl. A girl that everything Luna had blue, she had green.

"X.A.R.A.? Did you use your powers to change your form?" asked Madd, sceptical.

"X.A.R.A. just left. I always beat him severely. He's just so weak." she answered as if nothing had just happened.

"Can you repeat this please? Who are you?" Mike asked to her.

"What? I'm L.E.N.A., Luna is my twin sister but you've lost memory." she said looking at Luna.

"Yes I did, how do you know?" Luna asked her.

"I saw you falling in the digital sea. I didn't understand how come you climbed back on the candies. I didn't fall with you. I was there with you, but I fell on the candy island that, somehow never disappeared even when X.A.R.A. turned off the supercomputer. I still can't explain how we arrived here but I've been researching in the towers for an explanation. I still haven't found anything interesting yet. All I can say is that X.A.R.A. wants all of us dead." L.E.N.A. said, obviously recalling her bad memories.
