Xana and Riya, The Hunt for Mizu

Chapter 1

Once again a few months passed and the team made some headway Grace was close to materializing Xana and was still trying to locate Mizu after he had disappeared but had had no luck she wished Louise had been there to help

Andy and Kelly had been going out for three years and were now known around the school as the greatest couple of all time and were often asked how they did it but they weren't sure

Riya had been studying the journal a lot and had almost become a recluse she now had found out a lot more about Lyoko and the mansion, she had discovered that the mansion had been changed from a small building that had been there previously and she had discovered that the room she was in was exactly the same room her mother had been in when she was a child

Riya also found out that Xana had once been the enemy and Mizu was the result of pulling the virus out of him and that Aelita had help in fighting Xana when he was evil but all she had were names no numbers that she could contact them at

"Ulrich Stern, Odd Della Robbia, Yumi Ishiyama and Jeremy Belopolis" Riya said looking at the names there was one more name but it had been erased checking a few pages ahead Riya found a list with the same names and again with one erased but this one had one extra "Emily" but there was no last name

John had been helping Grace with anything she might need from checking the computer to bringing things from her room to the factory and vice versa, a small relationship had begun to develop though neither of them seemed to notice since Grace was always preoccupied with working on Lyoko

It was the start of a new day and the beginning of most of the group's last year at Kadic Riya was on her way to her class she once again had avoided her friends and sat her normal seat Ms LeDuc watched Riya as she had been doing for quite a while since Aelita's last message containing certain details about Riya and after Aelita didn't return she had to fear the worst

Kelly was walking past Riya's class on her way to her own lesson it was still a few minutes before the lessons actually started she was going to speak with her but she just kept quiet and kept walking the whole situation had gotten weird since their last trip to Lyoko

The day went on and Riya had to come back to the same class for her last lesson, as the bell went and everyone began to leave Ms LeDuc spoke up only a little but she made sure Riya heard

"Moé" Ms LeDuc said making Riya freeze

"I don't know what happened and I would like to so would a few other people"

"I was watching it but I don't fully know, it happened so quickly" Riya said thinking about the event

"listen you and your friends will need to be strong what ever you are fighting is powerful especially from what I know, but if you need help especially right now don't be afraid to ask"

Riya wasn't facing Ms Leduc but she could tell Riya was almost crying "listen what were fighting you wouldn't even know how to fight so why don't you mind your own business" Riya said spinning around and shouting

"listen I am Emily LeDuc one of the seven guardians of Lyoko I was fighting the enemies of Lyoko along side your mother while you were still just a thought in her mind" Emily said not being able to control herself

Riya recounted the names in the journal, seven names one erased and one not fully written in but then there were still five then subtracting Aelita only four must remain, then Riya remembered that the name that had been only partly written was Emily so that made five

"what happened to the others then" Riya asked out of curiosity

"each went on with their own lives, only three at the moment have paid their own price for their own reasons" Emily said

"which three" Riya asked wanting to learn more than the books she found could help with

"your mother, your father and one person known as William but he is not important"

"tell me" Riya ordered

"your father meddled in things he shouldn't he lost his family, William died protecting someone in the final battle against Xana and your mother I guess could only have been destroyed protecting you or by a cheap attack"

"and the reason your telling me this" Riya asked more asking why she should suddenly want to tell her everything

"me and my friends are coming to shut down Lyoko" Emily said

"you can't we still have to save Aelita"

"it's an order if one of us goes down another must stop what ever is doing it before it's too late"

"like if it disappears and you can't find it" Grace said entering the room with the rest of the team following behind

Emily looked at Grace and knew what she meant now shutting down Lyoko would do no good

"as of an hour ago Mizu has been officially located somewhere in the internet in England he hasn't travelled far but he is still trying to get far away from here" Grace said

"how much did you hear" Riya asked

"we appeared when she shouted out her name and title for everyone to hear" Andy said

"talk about blowing a secret" Kelly added

"so you and several others were the first guardians of Lyoko, what happened back then" John asked

"a lot of things happened but right now those aren't important, the question is how long has he been gone for" Emily asked

"about four months and I don't know how long he will stay gone" Grace said

A silence went over the group and then Grace's laptop bleeped, immediately Grace opened it and checked and saw that something had popped up when Grace saw what it was important and ran out of the room with the team including Emily behind her

"what is it" Kelly asked

"well funnily two things at once the first is Xana's materialization has finished and he can now be brought to the real world the other is Mizu has just launched an attack"

As the group entered the sewers a Mizu spectre appeared in front of the group everyone began to back up but were stopped by Emily "have you all been into Lyoko" Emily asked each one of them nodded

"then keep going" Emily said pushing the team forward

The Mizu spectre attacked Grace and tried to take over her body but no luck, Emily just casually picked her up and carried her until the Mizu spectre left her body no one really understood what had just happened to Grace but they were slightly impressed by Emily's calmness of the situation.

Arriving at the factory Everyone quickly entered Lyoko except for Emily who went into the computer room just in case the spectre tried to attack Grace and disrupt the computer; though she felt that Mizu would now be concentrating on the tea in Lyoko than outside of Lyoko.

As everyone landed in Lyoko the thoughts of what had happened last time still echoed, everyone took slow steps forward breaking through old barriers and old wounds that had not yet healed. Riya still hadn't moved everything was still too much for her and despite everything she tried she still couldn't move and as the force of things hit her it took Xana who had just appeared to catch her as everyone else was distracted by one sight that Riya had still yet too see.

In the distance was a large blue object that looked as though someone had built a planet into the middle of Lyoko, it even seemed like a planet as it was revolving slowly.

"hey are any of you gonna help me" Xana said getting the teams attention

Everyone quickly rushed over but they couldn't do anything, Riya had too work everything out in her own time and get back to her old ways.

Grace began creating the teams vehicles which she realised they had barely used since they originally created them, Andy quickly grabbed the ATV which allowed Riya to be placed onto the back. Kelly jumped up letting her inline skates appear on her feet.

They quickly set off with Andy and Xana following behind so that Riya would not be attacked from behind and even if she was they could take them down, John noticed the armour that Xana was wearing was extremely different from the one he had been wearing the last time anyone had seen him.

"it appeared when this big blue thing appeared as well, I also have a few new tricks up my sleeve just waiting for Mizu to appear" Xana said with a smile then scarily reminded him of Nerst before he had been destroyed

As the team entered the sphere Mizu watched from close by keeping hidden and smiling happily "well Xana it appears your going along like I planned, now all I need is the idiots that trapped me last time and everything will be ready for our final plan, don't you agree Jeremy, William." Mizu laughed and slowly changed into a white cloud of data slipping away in to the sphere.

The two people that Mizu had been speaking too were still there, two black humanoid shapes with blank white eyes neither seemed like they knew where they were or what they were doing as they slowly began to follow the team.
