Chapter 3: Xanadu Attack Part 1
A/N: Hey, guys! I'm back with a new chapter. I'm glad you like this story and I will do my best to keep it interesting. Anyway, let's start this up.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Code Lyoko. Because if I did, Xana would've been a girl who's in love with Odd, despite them being enemies.
It was dinnertime and the gang, except Yumi, who is at home, is eating at the cafeteria.
"So, what do you guys think of the new kids?" Ulrich asked.
"They're all right," Jeremy said, "They seem normal enough."
"I talked to Anna and she seems nice," Aelita said.
"Well, Galaxy is okay," Ulrich said, "He seems like a nice guy."
"Yeah, when you're not trying to pick a fight with him," Jeremy said, "Plus, weren't you the one that said he was a jerk?"
Ulrich looked sheepish, "Well, I was upset that my best friend was gone."
"We understand, Ulrich," Aelita said, "We're all upset that Odd is gone. But we have to let it go. Odd wouldn't want this for us."
Ulrich nodded sadly, "Yeah. You're right."
"Well, here they come, now." Jeremy said as Galaxy and Anna walked in. As soon as they got their food, they sat down with the others.
"Hey, guys." Galaxy said.
"Hey," Jeremy said.
"So, how long have you guys been friends?" Galaxy asked.
"Two years," Ulrich asked, "How long have you two been friends?"
"We met since we were little," Anna said, "We started going out a few months ago."
"You two are dating?" Aelita asked.
"Yep," Galaxy said as he puts his arm around Anna's shoulders.
"Good for you," Ulrich said.
"So, what about you, Ulrich," Galaxy asked, "Are you dating anyone?"
Ulrich blushed, "No!"
"Do you have anyone you like to date?" Anna asked with a mischievous look on her face.
"No!" Ulrich shouted, "I mean yes! I mean...argh!
Everyone laughed at Ulrich being teased.
"Oh, well isn't this a touchy group?" A snobby voice asked and everyone groaned except Galaxy and Anna. They turned to see Sissi, Herve, and Nicholas.
"What do you want, Sissi?" Ulrich said with an annoyed look on his face.
"Who are these two?" Sissi asked, looking at Galaxy and Anna.
"None of your business, Sissi." Yumi said with a glare.
"Hmph," Sissi said, "Well if you two want to ditch these losers, come find me, okay?" She winked at Galaxy and Anna, who looked weirded out. With that she walked away, her two lapdogs following.
"And she is?" Galaxy asked.
"The most annoying person you have ever met," Yumi said.
"I take it you don't have a good history with her," Anna said.
"Assuming that she's done everything she can to make our lives miserable?" Jeremy said, "Not much."
"Good," Galaxy said, "Now she's on my 'who not to be friends with' list."
Everyone laughed at that. However, that moment was stopped when Jim walked towards them.
"Huh, I wonder what he wants," Ulrich said, not noticing the look of shock and slight fear on Galaxy's and Anna's faces.
When Jim got to their table, he suddenly picked up Galaxy and threw him on another table, surprising everybody in the cafeteria. He started to walk towards Galaxy, however Anna reacted quickly by grabbing a chair and slamming it on Jim's head, knocking him down.
"Come on!" Anna said as she helped Galaxy up, "We have to get out of here!" They both ran out of the cafeteria.
"Wait!" Ulrich called out, but it was too late. They were already gone.
Jim got up and tried to go after the two, but was stopped by Ulrich, who kicked him to the ground.
"Could this be Xana?" Ulrich asked.
"I thought she was destroyed!" Yumi said.
"We have to go to the factory and check it out." Jeremy said.
"You guys go," Ulrich said as Jim got back up, "I'll hold him off."
Aelita, Yumi, and Jeremy ran to the factory, while Ulrich stood in front of Jim.
Jim growled as his eyes turned completely back and he spoke in a deep, demonic voice, "You will pay for getting in my way, puny human."
"Haven't I always gotten in your way, Xana?" Ulrich asked.
Jim lifted him up, "I am not Xana," He said, surprising Ulrich, "I am your worst nightmare." He threw Ulrich across the cafeteria and into the wall.
The others made it to the factory.
"There's an activated tower in the mountain sector." Jeremy said.
"So, she is alive," Yumi said.
"But how?" Aelita asked.
"Doesn't matter," Jeremy said, "We need to deactivate that tower before Ulrich gets hurt."
Ulrich was sent flying, courtesy of Jim backhanding him. He weakly got up, "If you're not Xana, them who are you?"
Jim picked him up by the collar of his shirt, "someone you thought was destroyed."
Jeremy had virtualized Aelita and Yumi in the Mountain Sector, "The activated tower is not far from you. I'll bring up the Overwing.
The Overwing appeared and Yumi and Aelita hopped on and flew towards the tower.
"Girls, there are three monsters guarding the tower." Jeremy said, "Be careful."
"No problem," Yumi said as she and Aelita raced towards the tower. When they got there, they saw three different kinds that they have never seen before. they looked like tarantulas, except that they are completely black with spikes on their legs and back. They were guarding a black tower.
"Jeremy, the tower," Yumi said with a shocked look on her face, "It's black."
"What?" Jeremy said, shocked at what he just heard, "But Xana's tower is red!"
"I don't think it's Xana this time, Jeremy," Aelita said.
The tarantulas looked up at the girls and raised their front two legs in a firing position.
"Yumi, look out!" Aelita shouted as the tarantulas fired black flames at the girls.
Ulrich struggled to get out of Jim's grip, "What do you mean?"
Jim chuckled evilly, "You mean you haven't figured it out yet." He looked at Ulrich with his completely black eyes, "I...am...Xanadu!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
A/N: Yeah, I'm leaving you at a cliffhanger. Sorry about that. I noticed that I didn't use the Tarantulas in Falling For Your Enemy, so I'm using them in this story. Will Aelita and Yumi deactivate the tower? Will Ulrich survive Xanadu's assault? And where did Galaxy and Anna go? Find out next chapter. Review!
