Lord Maximus: I don't own Code Lyoko or Xiaolin Showdown


Chapter 1

Two weeks after the monks and the Lyoko warrior's battle against Xana after he manifested himself into a human form and vanished the summer began and the Lyoko gang was still allowed to stay in town. It was mostly quiet because Xana had shown no sign of returning. Jeremy believed he was preparing himself against the device they used to negate his powers and after they attempted to destroy his core. Yumi kept in touch with Kimiko and they updated each other on both finding Shen Gong Wu and looking out for sign of Xana returning. They mostly enjoyed the quiet summer.

Aelita was in her sound asleep when a knock was heard at her door. She woke up groaning. Rubbing her eyes she walked over to the door and opened it. She looked to see Sissy standing there with a blank expression on her face.

"Sissy? Its one'o clock at night. I have not had nightmares so leave me alone." said Aelita.

Sissy spoke in a strange language. Aelita's eyes widened. This was like when her father possessed her. She moved aside as Sissy walked over to the computer and turned it on. She typed at a fast rate. It went for like ten minutes when Aelita noticed the time.

"That is enough, dad. Please release Sissy from your control and we'll read your message in the morning." said Aelita.

Sissy only nodded and fainted. Aelita quietly took her back to her room and then came to save the message on her computer. In the morning Aelita called the others to Jeremy's room.

"She left a message on my computer." said Aelita,

"The same language I had to translate the last time Franz took over Sissy. I should have it ready in the afternoon." said Jeremy.

"There's something not right. Why did Franz wait until now to contact us?" asked Ulrich,

"He might have been weak from Aelita back her memories and after he purified Lyoko." said Jeremy.

"I don't think so, Jeremy. I think there might more to this." said Ulrich,

"Relax, it's not like Xana is suddenly going return just because Franz sent us a message." said Odd.

"Be careful what you say, Odd." said Yumi.

Jeremy banged his computer in frustration which caught the others attention.

"The power is going nuts again. I'm heading over to the factory." said Jeremy,

"That has been going on for a while now. You think Xana has anything to do with this?" asked Ulrich.

"I thought about it too, but it seems to be too small time for him now that he is much stronger." said Aelita,

"Just to be sure I say we keep an eye out." said Yumi.

"No problem. As long is I have my eyes open nothing will escape my sight." said Odd,

"You sure? You always keep your eyes on all the food in the cafeteria." said Ulrich.

The others chuckled at Odd and walked out of the room. Later that afternoon Jeremy came back with the results of decoding Franz Hopper's message.

"Here is what is says." said Jeremy, showing them the message.

IT IS TIME THAT YOU HELP ME ESCAPE MY PRISON. I NEED YOUR HELP FOR XANA HAS SCATTERED MY VIRTUAL FORM INTO FRAGMENTS ANDHID THEM IN THE TOWER THAT IS HIDDEN IN CARTHAGE. FIND THE TOWER AND ENTER THE LYOKO CODE AND THEN CODE: RETREIVE IN ORDER TO GET ME OUT.

"So that must be how we get Franz Hopper out." said Yumi,

"We better to get ready. The power outage is getting out of hand." said Jeremy.

"Lousy piece of junk!"

"Lousy piece of junk!" shouted Jack Spicer as he banged his computer.

He slammed his fists onto the table and yelled.

"What is with this power outage? Even my robots are being affected by this!" whined Jack.

He looked around for a moment and then whimpered.

"There hasn't been a problem with the power since Xana showed up." whimpered Jack.

He looked around shivering and whimpering.

"Xana, are you here? Big X?" asked Jack.

All he heard was the sound of electronics shirt circuiting.
